Luo Yiyi's words didn't surprise Chen Chang'an too much.
Whether it was Hua Wulei's behavior or Luo Yiyi's reaction upon seeing him, it was clear that they recognized the name "Chen Chang'an."
What puzzled Chen Chang'an was this: What had he done to make the two palace masters of Luo Shen Palace remember his name?
But it probably wasn't anything bad—otherwise, Hua Wulei wouldn’t have treated him so kindly.
"You're not surprised, but you are confused, wondering why I know about you, right?" Luo Yiyi asked with a smile.
"Exactly," Chen Chang'an nodded.
"Actually, Chen Chang'an… you and I are fellow disciples."
Fellow disciples?
Holy shit!
Chen Chang'an had considered countless possibilities, but this was never one of them.
Did his master have other disciples?
No, his master, Mu Yunyao, had once told him she had only ever taken him as her disciple.
Had he been deceived?
Seeing Chen Chang'an's stunned expression, Luo Yiyi's eyes dimmed slightly, and she let out a bitter laugh. "She never mentioned me to you, did she?"
"No, my master never said she had another disciple."
"That's because I wasn’t officially her disciple. It’s just… back then, Senior Mu Yunyao took pity on me and helped me many times."
"Though we lacked the formal title of master and disciple, in practice, she was always my master in my heart."
Hearing this, Chen Chang'an found it somewhat reasonable—yet there were still inconsistencies.
"Did my master come here?" Chen Chang'an frowned.
"You really are sharp. No wonder Senior took a liking to you."
"About… two years ago, Senior suddenly arrived at Luo Shen Palace…"
According to Luo Yiyi, two years ago, Mu Yunyao descended upon Luo Shen Palace without warning, leaving Luo Yiyi overjoyed.
Mu Yunyao’s purpose was simple: she instructed Luo Yiyi that if she ever encountered Chen Chang'an in the future, she should not oppose him. If Chen Chang'an faced any difficulties, she should help if possible.
Naturally, Luo Yiyi dared not disobey Mu Yunyao’s instructions. It was from this moment that the name "Chen Chang'an" became etched in the minds of both Luo Yiyi and Hua Wulei.
But neither of them expected Chen Chang'an to arrive at Luo Shen Palace in such a manner.
"Though Senior gave her orders, this matter doesn’t seem related to him."
"If you want me to spare him, that’s not impossible."
"But I’d like to see just how strong Senior’s disciple really is," Luo Yiyi said with a smile.
She wanted to test him?
"Dear father, it’s up to you now!"
"Crush her!"
Xuan Wudao immediately scurried behind Chen Chang'an, massaging his shoulders and pounding his back with an obsequious grin.
"Yeah, crush her!"
"Show her what you’re made of," Da Huang chimed in, egging him on.
Luo Yiyi glanced at Xuan Wudao and Da Huang, letting out a cold chuckle.
"His cultivation is only at the Supreme Realm’s first level. He’s not worth my personal effort."
Though Chen Chang'an was Mu Yunyao’s disciple, with such meager strength, Luo Yiyi couldn’t be bothered to fight him herself.
Luo Shen Palace was filled with experts—any one of them would suffice.
"Palace Master."
"His strength… is unfathomable. It’s not as it appears on the surface," Hua Wulei cautioned from the side.
Hmm?
Not as it appears?
Luo Yiyi gave Hua Wulei a puzzled look, surprised that she held Chen Chang'an in such high regard.
"He was capable of subduing me."
At these words, Luo Yiyi was taken aback. Chen Chang'an could overpower Hua Wulei?
She knew exactly how strong Hua Wulei was. For Chen Chang'an, with only Supreme Realm cultivation, to defeat her—was he hiding his true power?
Impossible!
As a peak Great Emperor, if he were concealing his strength, she would have sensed it.
"Why did she try to subdue you?"
"Did you clash?" Luo Yiyi frowned slightly, turning to Hua Wulei.
"It was because…"
Hua Wulei hesitantly recounted the events. After hearing her explanation, Luo Yiyi nodded. "I never expected Demon Tu to break through to the peak Great Emperor realm."
"It seems the golden age has truly arrived. The number of Great Emperor-level experts has increased significantly lately."
"You were right not to act recklessly. Otherwise, you would have lost your life."
"Demon Tu has never been one to hold back. Now that he’s reached peak Great Emperor, he’ll be even more unrestrained."
Seeing that Luo Yiyi wasn’t angry, Hua Wulei finally relaxed.
"Chen Chang'an, I must thank you for this matter. If not for you, Hua Wulei and the other two would likely have perished at the Tu Family."
"In that case, three lives for one—fair, don’t you think?" Chen Chang'an asked with a smile.
"Indeed, it’s fair."
"I can spare him."
"But I still want to see your strength for myself."
Hearing this, Chen Chang'an sighed helplessly. "Must we fight?"
"I don’t think you stand a chance against me. Why bother?"
No chance?
Luo Yiyi couldn’t help but laugh. A peak Great Emperor like her—being looked down upon?
"It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a confident young man."
"Don’t think that just because you’re Senior’s disciple, I’ll go easy on you."
"This isn’t the place for a fight. Let’s move."
Before her voice faded, Luo Yiyi vanished from the hall in a flash.
Chen Chang'an sighed again, then flickered away, catching up to Luo Yiyi high in the sky.
"Impressive speed!"
Seeing Chen Chang'an appear, Luo Yiyi couldn’t help but praise him.
"Chen Chang'an, will he be alright?" Xuan Wudao asked Da Huang nervously.
"What could possibly go wrong?"
"Even his master couldn’t handle him—this Luo Shen Palace Master stands no chance," Da Huang said confidently.
"Chen Chang'an’s master is that strong?"
"Strong?"
"A peak Great Emperor couldn’t withstand a single slap from her. How’s that for strength?"
Holy shit!
A peak Great Emperor couldn’t take one slap?
What kind of power was that?
Beyond peak Great Emperor?
Then why hadn’t she ascended yet?
High above, Luo Yiyi looked at Chen Chang'an with a faint smile. "I won’t bully you. You attack first."
"Just hold out for the time it takes an incense stick to burn."
Seeing her confidence, Chen Chang'an sighed again.
"You’re sure you want me to strike first?"
"Of course. Go ahead."
"Fine."
Without hesitation, Chen Chang'an unleashed his full aura, a terrifying pressure that shocked everyone in Luo Shen Palace.
Luo Yiyi’s expression froze in disbelief—she never imagined Chen Chang'an’s true power could be this overwhelming.
The sheer force of his presence forced even her to take it seriously.
Using his finger as a sword, Chen Chang'an slashed through the air. A devastating sword energy materialized before Luo Yiyi in an instant.
BOOM!
A deafening explosion followed as Luo Yiyi was sent flying backward. The shockwaves rippled outward, even shaking Luo Shen Palace below.
"Ah, I really can't understand why she would have such a request."
"Does she enjoy the feeling of being hit?"
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.

iemie, male, Race: Moon. Hobby: Collecting anomalies. At first, he thought he possessed two systems: the Crimson Rainbow Moon and the Clear Cold Frost Moon. One day, he discovered that he himself could also become a system for others, holding the chessboard of fate. The Eighth Epoch, also known as the Eternal Moon Epoch. Humans, witches, elves, bloodline descendants, specters, demons, and spirits together compose a new history. Walking the path on behalf of the moon, before he knew it, Chen Miemie's footsteps were followed by all manner of strange and wondrous anomalies. As time passed, many titles circulated about him—The King in Yellow, Lord of Anomalies, Heart of the Eternal Moon, and more. "Me? I'm just a traveler who enjoys collecting interesting creatures," Chen Miemie said.
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
