Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 764: Taking Disciples on Behalf of the Master
Chapter 764 -764: Taking Disciples on Behalf of the Master
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Wu, Su Qi, and Chen Kui heavily fell to the ground, sprawling in an ungainly fashion.
They struggled to rise from the ground, but the intense pain engulfed their bodies, causing their limbs to become feeble and powerless; even after several attempts, they couldn’t get up.
The surrounding disciples from the Martial Pavilion stared blankly, too shocked to remember to help the three who had fallen.
How is this possible!
Master Liu’s eyes nearly popped out of his sockets.
...
The three he specifically picked to face Wang Chen were among the best disciples of the Martial Pavilion, at the peak of Flesh Refinement, and all had fought in battle platforms, possessing considerable combat experience.
If Master Liu himself took action, crushing Wu, Su Qi, and Chen Kui at the same time wouldn’t be a problem at all.
But he definitely couldn’t defeat them with a single move like Wang Chen did!
Wang Chen then looked around and asked, “Anyone else?”
This was way too arrogant, too domineering!
Everyone caught by Wang Chen’s gaze couldn’t help but subconsciously lower their heads.
With Wu, Su Qi, and Chen Kui defeated so miserably, how could they qualify to challenge Wang Chen!
On the other side, Master Liu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock and excitement in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, “What exactly is your cultivation level? I want the truth!”
Shi Yan had just introduced Wang Chen as a fifteen-year-old at the Bone Refining Realm.
But if he really was in the Bone Refining Realm, it would absolutely be impossible to achieve such a feat!
Wang Chen smiled, “Blood Refinement.”
Blood Refinement!
Master Liu clenched his fist and growled, while Shi Yan looked utterly spooked.
Wang Chen, at the age of fifteen, breaking through to the Bone Refining Realm, was already an unprecedented prodigy in Little Stone Village, and now they learned his true Cultivation Level was the even higher Blood-Refining Realm.
Shi Yan felt like his entire understanding had been turned upside down!
But Master Liu didn’t care about that, he excitedly said, “Come, let’s talk inside!”
Turning his face, the martial master then swept his own disciples with a ferocious gaze, “Whoever dares to utter a word about what happened today outside, I’ll skin him alive!”
Including Wu and the others, who had just been helped up, everyone shuddered and hastily nodded in agreement.
“Xiao Liu, go invite the Pavilion Master immediately!”
As Master Liu was instructing his disciple, he led Wang Chen and Shi Yan into the inner hall.
Although Hongyi Martial Hall was located in a remote area, the architectural scale was not small. Divided into three sections, it included a large courtyard for martial practice and a Council Hall for entertaining guests.
After Wang Chen and Shi Yan were seated, a pretty maid brought them tea.
Master Liu solemnly said to Wang Chen, “Young man, with your talent and strength, I’m not worthy to make decisions, so please wait a moment. Our Pavilion Master will arrive shortly!”
No sooner had he finished speaking than a middle-aged man in a brocaded robe made his way into the inner hall with his head held high.
Master Liu immediately stood up, “Pavilion Master!”
The man in the brocaded robe asked sternly, “Old Liu, what’s the urgency for calling me here?”
Master Liu quickly explained, “Pavilion Master, this is Shi Yan from Little Stone Village. He has introduced a young prodigy to our Martial Pavilion today. The matter is of great importance, so I invited you over.”
“A young prodigy?”
The man in the brocaded robe looked at Wang Chen with interest, “Is it this young man?”
“Yes!”
Master Liu said with a bit of excitement, “Wang Chen, fifteen years old, Blood-Refining Realm, just defeated Wu, Su Qi, and Chen Kui in a single move!”
The man in the brocaded robe’s expression changed, and he blurted out, “That’s impossible!”
A fifteen-year-old in the Blood-Refining Realm was among the most outstanding talents in Red Cliff City, so how could one come from a rural village?
Keep in mind, these talents not only possessed the purest Noble Clan bloodlines but also consumed various precious ingredients to strengthen their bodies and cleanse their marrow from a young age, soaked in costly medicinal baths, and received personal instruction from famed masters to achieve such accomplishments.
Little Stone Village couldn’t possibly provide such conditions!
Master Liu gave a wry smile, “I couldn’t believe it either, but Pavilion Master, you can try for yourself.”

The truth would be evident upon testing!
The man in the brocaded robe also realized he had just lost his composure.
He pondered for a moment, then said to Wang Chen, “Young brother, strike me with all your might!”
Master Liu explained, “Our hall master is at the pinnacle of Marrow Refinement; just attack, there’s no need to worry about accidentally injuring him.”
He, like Wang Chen, was in the Blood-Refining Realm and knew full well the strength of their hall master.
Attack with full force?
Wang Chen sneered inwardly, but outwardly, he composedly greeted the brocade-robed man with a bow, “Junior Wang Chen asks for guidance from his senior.”
The brocade-robed man nodded and raised his hand to signal Wang Chen to make a move.
Wang Chen’s gaze sharpened as he suddenly lunged forward, throwing a punch towards the other’s chest.
Before he had even reached him, the fierce power of his fist was imminent, causing the brocade-robed man’s facial skin to pucker slightly.
“Good!”
The brocade-robed man’s eyes transformed instantly, and he abruptly raised his palm to meet Wang Chen’s fist.
Smack!
The collision of fist and palm produced a crisp reverberating sound.
Wang Chen stepped back three steps, while the brocade-robed man’s figure swayed slightly, but he did not move his feet at all.
He withdrew his hand with an expressionless face, seemingly taken aback.
Wang Chen also said nothing.
With that punch, he had only used fifty percent of his strength and had not triggered the full potential of the Vajra Fist.
This was appropriate for his current cultivation level.
“Good!”
The brocade-robed man suddenly exclaimed in a low voice, his expression becoming extremely excited, “Good, good, good!”
His eyes shone with interest as he asked, “Wang Chen, would you be willing to be my direct disciple?”
Missing out on such a genius would be something he’d regret for a lifetime.
Wang Chen hesitated for a moment.
He had come to Red Cliff City to make a name for himself, not necessarily to take someone as his master.
Because in this world, the master-disciple relationship was even more significant than that of father and son, a master could demand almost anything from a disciple, and if a disciple defied his master, it was considered an unforgivable transgression, punishable by all!
Such karma was too great.
Seeing Wang Chen’s hesitation, the brocade-robed man became anxious, “No, I misspoke earlier, I meant to take you as a disciple on behalf of my master. If you agree, from today onwards you’ll be my younger martial brother!”
Upon hearing this, Master Liu beside him almost fainted.
Taking someone as a disciple and taking a disciple on behalf of one’s master were two completely different concepts!
As long as Wang Chen agreed, he would become the second-in-command of Hongyi Martial Hall.
This was an exceedingly generous offer!
Wang Chen couldn’t help but ask, “And who is your master?”
The brocade-robed man sadly said, “My master has long since passed away, and now I am the only true disciple left in the school.”
“Now there are two.”
Wang Chen made a decisive response, “Junior martial brother Wang Chen pays his respects to elder martial brother!”
He courteously bowed to the brocade-robed man.
Becoming someone’s disciple was out of the question; this was not the Haotian Realm.
But he could completely accept being a junior martial brother.
The brocade-robed man’s face lit up with joy, “Good, this is so good!”
He was exceedingly glad about his decisiveness.
Had he insisted on taking Wang Chen as his disciple, the deal might have fallen through.
With so many martial pavilions in Red Cliff City, Wang Chen didn’t need to hang his hopes on the Hongyi Martial Hall alone.
Now it was settled!
