Chapter 61 Giving Hong Ming a Little Genius Shock
"Ten times!"

"Using dual force to attack at the same time, my force can only last for a maximum of ten times."

Su Chen muttered to himself as he wrote down the results of his test.

The second layer of Iron Shirt can only be used a maximum of five times when employing double force.

However, the third time he used Iron Shirt, he could use it ten times when employing double strength, doubling the number of uses, which was good news for him.

However, apart from the increased number of uses, there are no other major changes.

Having grasped his own strength, Su Chen returned to his room. He had been busy since last night and hadn't slept yet.

Lying in bed, Su Chen quickly drifted off to sleep.

at the same time.

Blue Leaf Town.

A headless body was brought back and placed in a courtyard.

After an unknown amount of time, a tall man with a full beard walked in, lifted the white cloth, and lifted Wei Jie's arm. When he saw the scar on Wei Jie's arm, his face darkened.

"Who did it?" he asked Wei Jie's men in a deep voice.

One of his men spoke up, recounting the events of the previous night to the man. After listening, the man murmured, "One-armed, Yang Guo..."

"Give me information about this person," the man said after a moment.

Soon, two intelligence reports were placed in front of the man.

One document contained intelligence that Su Chen had assisted the Fang family in killing the third leader of Lianyun Village.

One document contained intelligence from Wei Jie investigating Su Chen's alleged involvement in the government's activities and his subsequent killing of Chu Ming.

Upon seeing the two intelligence reports, the man slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Yang Guo, what a Yang Guo!"

Whether it was killing the third leader of Lianyun Village or killing Chu Ming and Wei Jie, it was an open provocation against the Rebirth Sect.

The latter, in particular, actually killed Wei Jie, showing utter disregard for the Rebirth Sect.

"only……"

After his initial anger subsided, the man calmed down, read through the first intelligence report, and a look of suspicion appeared on his face.

"This person is not only bold, but also despicable. He likes to hide his strength. Logically speaking, Wei Jie would not have fallen for this trick if he knew this information, but the result was that Wei Jie not only lost his life, but also had his head cut off by the other party."

Based on Wei Jie's intelligence, the man immediately deduced that Su Chen had deliberately concealed his arm. While shocked, he also realized how strong the other party was.

If Wei Jie hadn't known that Su Chen had hidden his severed arm, it would have been understandable that he would have been ambushed and killed. But the fact that Wei Jie knew and was still killed in the end is worth considering.

"Although Wei Jie's strength is at the minor completion stage of Qi Refining, after years of cultivation, he is only half a step away from the major completion stage. Moreover, his leg skills are formidable, and ordinary major completion stage Qi Refining masters are no match for him. Could this person's strength have already reached the major completion stage of Qi Refining? When did such a master appear in White Stone City?"

The man pondered for a long time but couldn't think of any of the many forces in White Stone City that met Su Chen's criteria.

"Fine, no matter who you are, if you dare to kill someone from my sect, you will pay for it in blood."

The man then summoned his subordinate and instructed him, "Go and spread the word that Yang Guo has been killed by this protector."

"Yes!"

After the man left, one of his subordinates asked, "Protector Sun, will the authorities believe us?"

"Whether the government believes it or not is not important. I am only forcing Yang Guo to show himself," Protector Sun said, shaking his head without further explanation. "Also, send out a notice to evacuate Lanye Town tonight, and tell Zhu Hu and the others that the plan will proceed as scheduled."

"Yes!"

Su Chen slept until noon the next day, when his stomach started growling with hunger, and he finally woke up.

After washing up, Su Chen went out and splurged at a restaurant. After eating and drinking his fill, he didn't go home but instead planned to go to the martial arts gym. He realized it had been a month since he'd last been there, and it was time to check it out.

Before even entering the martial arts hall, Su Chen could hear lively sounds coming from inside.

"Senior Brother Qin Hao was really amazing this time. He defeated all the disciples from many martial arts schools by himself."

"Yes, if I hadn't entered at the same time as Senior Brother Qin Hao, I wouldn't have believed that he had only been cultivating for less than half a year."

"Senior Brother Qin Hao really brought a lot of honor to our martial arts school this time. You have no idea how happy Master was. His wrinkles even decreased a lot from smiling."

"Isn't that obvious? Anyone would be happy to have such an outstanding disciple as Senior Brother Qin Hao!"

"..."

The crowd, who were discussing amongst themselves, were suddenly startled when they saw Su Chen walk in through the door. They then exclaimed in unison, "Senior Brother Su!"

Su Chen was thinking about how to explain things to Hong Ming at the moment. When he heard what everyone was saying, he just nodded slightly and didn't say anything more.

After Su Chen left, the group started discussing again.

"Have you noticed that Senior Brother Su Chen seems a little unhappy?"

"I heard that Senior Brother Qin Hao and Senior Brother Su Chen entered the sect at the same time, and they have always regarded each other as rivals. Now that Senior Brother Qin Hao is famous, it's no wonder that Senior Brother Su Chen is unhappy."

"That's true. Recently, many powerful forces have invited Senior Brother Qin Hao. Senior Brother Qin Hao is busy with social engagements every day. Compared to Senior Brother Qin Hao, Senior Brother Su Chen looks rather pathetic, so naturally he feels bad."

"..."

Su Chen entered the inner courtyard and happened to run into Li Mo, who was walking out of the inner courtyard. Li Mo was obviously stunned when he saw Su Chen, and then pulled Su Chen to the side.

"So you still know to come to the martial arts gym!" Li Mo said in a low voice, glancing back to see that Hong Ming's attention wasn't on them, before feeling relieved.

Su Chen scratched his head and asked awkwardly, "Senior Brother Li Mo, um, how is Master?"

"You're driving me crazy!" Li Mo replied irritably, clearly already aware of Su Chen's promise to Hong Ming.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen gave a wry smile.

Li Mo continued, "You promised your master you would attend the martial arts exchange meeting, but your master waited for you for a long time and you didn't show up. He sent me to look for you, but I still couldn't find you. How do you think your master felt at that time?"

After a pause, Li Mo ignored Su Chen's embarrassment, a smile suddenly appearing on his face, before changing the subject:
"Fortunately, Qin Hao came to your rescue, saving face for your master in front of all the seniors. Otherwise, you would have been in for his wrath."

"Then, can I go in now?" Hearing this, Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief and asked hesitantly.

“It is possible, but Master’s anger hasn’t subsided yet, so you have to be prepared,” Li Mo said after thinking for a moment.

Seeing Su Chen about to take a step, he grabbed him and said, "Seriously? You're really going to go in? Aren't you afraid of being scolded by Master?"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen stopped in his tracks, looked at Li Mo, and shook his head with a smile, saying, "It shouldn't be like that."

"Huh?" Li Mo was stunned. How could he not know? Hong Ming had just been talking about Su Chen with a face full of anger.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Mo followed Su Chen inside.

"Su Chen?" Qin Hao, who was practicing martial arts, saw Su Chen after he entered the inner courtyard and was taken aback.

At this moment, Hong Ming, who had been lazy, suddenly became sharp-eyed and slowly sat up.

Upon seeing this scene, Li Mo's heart skipped a beat.

Qin Hao also noticed Hong Ming's change, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips.

Before Hong Ming could even speak, Su Chen decided to give him a small, surprising surprise: "Master, I've broken through!"
