The Chosen Orphan: All Things Changed but the Remains

Liu Weiwei had been traveling across various regions all these years.

She specialized in apprehending illegal gangs, devouring their vital energy and blood to enhance her cultivation.

During this time, she also saved many suffering people.

Because the Ancient Clan had taken over the Martial Arts Association,

the world fell into great chaos.

Countless criminal gangs forming factions and alliances emerged all over the globe.

Liu Weiwei's individual capabilities were limited.

Once, after rescuing a former student of the Chosen Martial Arts School, and upon their suggestion,

Liu Weiwei founded a mutual aid organization.

It was named: The Chosen Orphans!

This force dedicated to combating crime and eliminating evil quickly attracted many victims to join.

Moreover, there were also many admirers of Chen Feng.

Especially those who were once students of the Chosen Martial Arts School.

Ever since several major families fled, plunging the world into chaos,

these people had nowhere good to go.

Martial arts schools everywhere had become one of the local malignant forces.

To preserve their own integrity, they could only practice martial arts alone.

However, their progress rate was significantly reduced.

Now, they suddenly heard

that Chen Feng's personal disciple from the former Chosen Martial Arts School had also established an organization.

Many people flocked to join.

Over time, the number of formal members of The Chosen Orphans had reached nearly ten thousand.

The number of informal peripheral members was even more substantial, reaching a hundred thousand.

All these people were fans of Chen Feng.

Of course, there were also some fans of the Eldest Senior Sister of the Chosen School.

Liu Weiwei had now also mastered the Crippled Leg technique to a consummate level.

She was just one step away from achieving Harmony of Man and Heaven.

With the support of the North Sea Divine Art, her vital energy and blood cultivation had even reached the Martial Venerable level.

As long as she had the North Sea Divine Art,

breaking through to the Martial Saint level in vital energy cultivation was a simple matter for her.

All it required was continuously devouring others' vital energy and blood, and then constantly refining it.

...

Since Kunlun Mountain fully opened its gates,

people suddenly discovered

that the bone structure of newborn children could now be checked.

Originally, one had to wait until adulthood to detect bone structure.

Now, this restriction was gone.

Later, they learned that the Ancient Clan had always been this way.

Children could cultivate from a young age.

Then people also understood

why the youths of the Ancient Clan possessed such high cultivation levels.

It turned out they had started cultivating over a decade earlier than people in the outside world.

However, after Kunlun Mountain fully opened,

children all over the world became just like the children of the Ancient Clan,

able to cultivate from childhood.

This gave Su Yan a headache.

Her daughter Chen Shuangshuang's bone structure was not very good.

Moreover, she couldn't learn the North Sea Divine Art.

She also tried Jin Youxi's Buddha's Palm, Liu Weiwei's Crippled Leg, and Zhao Bing's Thirteen Deadly Strikes Sword Art.

Chen Shuangshuang tried them all but couldn't learn any.

However, she could learn the Star-Sucking Great Method and the Frost God's Palm.

She could cultivate all other martial arts.

It's just that her cultivation speed was somewhat unsatisfactory.

Su Yan herself had finally cultivated the North Sea Divine Art to the Harmony of Man and Heaven realm.

The Frost God's Palm and Star-Sucking Great Method, which she started cultivating earlier, had now only reached the Profound Mastery realm and were difficult to advance further.

It must be said,

the North Sea Divine Art passed down by Chen Feng was the most suitable technique for her.

As for Jin Youxi on the other side,

because she had been living a secluded life by the White Tiger Abyss, cut off from the world,

her vital energy cultivation had only naturally grown to the Grandmaster level.

The former dream of becoming a top martial artist had long since vanished.

Ever since Chen Feng was gone,

Jin Youxi lost all her life goals.

In her free time, she would go with Qianqian to check on Chen Shuangshuang's cultivation progress,

urging the little girl not to be like she used to be, only knowing how to be lazy and play.

It was just a pity that Shuangshuang's bone structure was somewhat poor.

Jin Youxi couldn't help but think of her master again.

She believed that if her master were here, he would definitely be able to teach Shuangshuang a powerful martial arts technique.

...

Northern Continent.

Inside a luxurious manor.

Zhao Bing, covered in blood, sat on a sofa.

Around him were over a hundred corpses.

And in the garden outside, there were over a thousand more bodies.

"The Thirteen Deadly Strikes Sword Art has reached Harmony of Man and Heaven."

"And I've taken so many lives, so why haven't I created my own move yet?"

"What exactly am I lacking?"

Zhao Bing reached out and wiped the blood from his scarred face.

Muttering to himself, he walked out of this drug den.

"If only Master were here."

"He would definitely be able to answer my question."

Zhao Bing felt his swordsmanship had reached a bottleneck.

Only his master's guidance could lead to a sudden enlightenment.

During this period of constantly honing his swordsmanship,

his vital energy cultivation had also increased to over nine thousand, reaching the mid-stage Great Grandmaster level.

Such speed, looking across the world, definitely placed him among the absolute geniuses.

However, Zhao Bing felt no pride at all.

Because he knew his senior sister Liu Weiwei had now reached the peak Martial Venerable level.

Originally, Liu Weiwei's vital energy cultivation was much lower than his.

Unexpectedly, he ended up being surpassed.

"It seems I'm still not working hard enough."

Zhao Bing got up to leave. Just as he reached the hall,

he saw a hot news report playing on the television.

[Ancient Clan Elder Passes Away, Funeral to be Held in Three Days.]

It shouldn't have been a big deal to him.

But Zhao Bing saw a familiar face in the news.

Ye Xing, the newly selected family heir of the Ye Family,

was standing beside members of the Ancient Clan with Ye Wujiang, looking sorrowful.

"If my martial path cannot advance, then I'll kill a traitor to clear my mind!"

"Even if I die, I'll have no regrets!"

The stagnation in his swordsmanship led Zhao Bing to make a crazy decision.

To go to the Sacred City, the gathering place of the Ancient Clan,

and kill the traitor Ye Xing.

...

Ye Family.

Ye Xing's daily routine, aside from helping Ye Wujiang with dirty work, was cultivating the Indestructible Golden Body.

In just over nine short years,

he had already comprehended the Indestructible Golden Body to a consummate level.

His vital energy cultivation also logically reached the peak Great Grandmaster level.

He surpassed the family successor Ye Long in one fell swoop.

Moreover, he defeated Ye Long in the family competition, becoming the new family head successor.

Looking at Ye Long's unwilling expression,

Ye Xing felt the thrill of revenge in his heart.

However, for him, this was just the beginning.

He wanted revenge not only on Ye Long, but also on Ye Wujiang, his own wife, and even the entire Ye Family.

He was about to deliver a heavy blow to the Ye Family.

After becoming the family successor, Ye Xing obtained a Blood-Replenishing Bone-Tempering Pill.

It used to be a common family pill.

But now it was more expensive than the previous Vermilion Fruit.

The reason was that the Ancient Clan spread news that the Vermilion Fruit was extinct.

After Kunlun Mountain fully opened,

Vermilion Fruit would never appear in the world again.

This caused all pills related to Vermilion Fruit to skyrocket in price.

As for the price of Vermilion Fruit itself, it was even more exaggerated,

driven up to ten billion per fruit.

It was only after becoming the family heir that Ye Xing obtained one Blood-Replenishing Bone-Tempering Pill containing Vermilion Fruit components.

After taking one pill, his injuries still hadn't fully recovered.

He could only barely make sounds with his vocal cords, and his tongue had grown back halfway.

Later, because he helped the Ancient Clan capture young boys and girls to sacrifice to the flood dragon,

he received another family reward, allowing him to take a second Blood-Replenishing Bone-Tempering Pill.

The mouth and throat damaged by chemical burns from taking the blame for the Ye Family's crimes finally regained the ability to speak.

Now he could finally speak again.

"The Ancient Clan's funeral will also be the Ye Family's funeral."

Ye Xing spoke in a hoarse voice, clearly indicating his throat hadn't recovered to its former flawless state.
