Chapter 92: Loosening the Muscles, Attacking With the Pores, And Having an Empty Intent

“Instructor, was there a reason why you didn’t kill Chen Aiyang?” Thomas asked in bewilderment as they walked out of the Chenshi Corporation.

“For a talent to die like that, it would be pitiful.” Tang Zichen stopped moving for a moment. “Thomas, you are not Chinese, you wouldn’t understand. Moreover, Chen Aiyang is the strongest within the Chen family. When he becomes the leader, he will gain the power to fight with the Li family for control over Singapore. If it were anyone else, then before ten years is up, the Chen family would be crushed by their surroundings. We do not have that many people available to help the Chen family.”

“Then instructor, what you are saying is…”

“You don’t need to ask, let’s go. I’ll hire some people to go do as I planned, you just need to do as I say.” A single car opened its door for Tang Zichen to sit in before speeding off.

“What a terrifying woman to hold all that power in her hands. She is truly the epitome of being a hidden dragon. Outside the heavens is another, and beyond a man is another. This is truly not fair to me.”

After Tang Zichen had left, Chen Aiyang remained standing right in the middle of all the rubble from their match. In the match, that woman’s movements had been eerily like a ghost and had a power that was formidable to even a mountain. No matter how much he prided himself on his whipping arm, movements, or technique, all had been useless within the scope of her power.

“Haaa…” A stinging pain could be felt in his chest that burned away at Chen Aiyang’s nerves. His clothes had been pierced and destroyed by Tang Zichen’s Hidden Jin. There were clearly two distinct finger sized holes where small drops of blood could be seen oozing through the skin.

“How fortunate that it was just an inch short from hitting any of my internal organs and was just a wound on the skin. If it were a true break out of Jin, then my entire body would have a hole through it.”

A single inch less could bring down the power of Hidden Jin by tenfold. If Chen Aiyang had time to cover his entire body with the Hidden Jin, then Tang Zichen would not have been able to jab him so easily.

Chen Aiyang had reached the Transforming Jin stage and could emit power from any part of his body. Even if someone were to hit him with a staff, then it would shatter and break away. But it hadn’t been able to defend Chen Aiyang from Tang Zichen’s Hidden Jin sword-like finger strike. In the end, she had been able to strike at an acupuncture point.

“Aiyang, are you well?” Chen Libo immediately called out for someone to meet Chen Aiyang as his white eyebrows were furrowed together in clear unpleasantry.

Clearly, Chen Aiyang had lost.

Seeing this sight, Chen Li and Chen Daquan had been extremely excited.

“No one will speak of what happened today.” Chen Libo suddenly declared, causing Chen Li and the others to be greatly disappointed. She had originally planned to talk of this matter straight away to deliver a crushing blow to Chen Aiyang’s reputation.

“Did you hear me or not? If this is leaked and I catch wind of it, then you will bear the consequences. In a moment, I will personally make a call to Mr. Thomas and have him hold back the results of this match.” Chen Libo spoke loudly, causing everyone to remember just how much power he wielded before nodding their heads.

“The family reunion meeting will be done another day. You may all leave.” Chen Libo announced more as he looked around the badly damaged structure of the building with an unhappy look.

Tang Zichen and Chen Aiyang had barely fought for two to three minutes. But in the end, the damage to the headquarters had been astounding. The damage done was far more astounding than what a team of construction workers using heavy machinery could cause.

Even the extremely experienced Chen Libo had been utterly astounded by the amount of power caused in front of him.

With the support of Lin Liqiang, Chen Aiyang returned back to his own home to nurse his wounds.

His injuries hadn’t been heavy, but the Hidden Jin from Tang Zichen had served enough damage to his nerves. It hadn’t been enough for him to be immobile, and with him being a master proficient at the art of healing, it had only taken him around half a month to fully heal.

From this loss, the physical pain had been secondary to the pain from the strike to his confidence.

Chen Aiyang was not like Wang Chao.

When Wang Chao made his first appearance, while it had been grand enough to put his name out, he was not yet at a stage where his reputation was almighty. Even if he lost, it wouldn’t matter much. However, Chen Aiyang was already the number one expert within Southeast Asia, a loss was enough to signal a funeral for his name.

With a fame that preceded his name, a saint wouldn’t equate to his status, let alone a regular person.

Furthermore, his fame would implicate his family’s honor as well and not just him. The Chenshi Corporation had experienced a fast development these past few years, all of which was linked to his success.

Last year, the anti-Qing Party and the Chenshi Corporation had been in a dispute in regards to the foreign exports industry. As a result, both sides had hired mercenaries to act as pirates within the Southeast Asian oceans for a month, only for both sides to take up a heavy loss.

In the end, the Taiwanese martial arts world and the American Chinese Association had came in to intermediate with a proposal of a martial arts competition.

The result had been Chen Aiyang killing Zhang Guangming and scoring a victory for the Chenshi Corporation.

This battle had also led to the Chenshi Corporation raking in another profit of several hundred million Singaporean Dollars. It had also been that same battle that brought him his current position and so for the sake of preserving his family’s power and Chen Aiyang’s chance at being a successor, Chen Libo had intervened.

Otherwise, since both Chen Aiyang’s parents had died and he had no direct lineage, the family’s line of succession would never land upon him.

When in the Jianghu, one cannot move freely. Even though there were the open-minded, even they could not defend themselves against the turmoil of the secular world.

“For the elder to suddenly stop the reunion, does that mean he has another reason? That Tang woman, who is she? How did Chen Li come across someone as amazing as her? That Tang woman clearly let me go, just what is she getting at? This fight for the role of successor is something I cannot lose, what would happen to my sister? If I were to lose, then she would suffer! Sigh, with the matters growing that bad, just what proper preparations should I make? That Tang woman’s martial arts is too amazing, even if I were to become a hermit and dedicate myself to training for the next five years without a care in the world, I would still have no chance of beating her.”

“But even now, my heart is already a mess with the mundane events of the world. I cannot dedicate my heart to the pursuit of martial arts full-heartedly now.”

Chen Aiyang was very knowledgeable about his own situation and disturbances. Given some time for him to dedicate himself to the martial arts world, he would be able to catch up to the Tang woman in five years, not ten.

But the reality of the situation had been quite cruel and so there was simply no opportunity for him to pursue the pinnacle of strength.

Upon entering the Jianghu, he had been tied tightly to the secular world and so it had restricted his heart.
