Could it be that he had been relying on her and her elder brother all this time?
Chen Yi, on the other hand, could not hold back his laughter. Within the entire Chen Family, there were not many people who could cause Chen Xun to be this scared, even if they were Chen Xun's elder brother.
Chen Xun was a typical snob, so being able to make Chen Xun scared showed how much of a shadow Chen Jing had left for Chen Xun.
Seeing Chen Yi's smile, Chen Jing couldn't help but point her finger at his head. "Laughing, it's just because of that coward Chen Xun, your second sister, has been teased by that woman Du Family quite a bit!"
The two of them had been fighting quite a few times, but Chen Jing had always held the upper hand and kept suppressing the other party.
Unexpectedly, it was Chen Xun's turn to bully the weak and fear the strong. This made Chen Jing suffer a lot of mockery and she had already been holding in her anger in her heart.
This was the reason why Chen Jing always taught Chen Xun a lesson.
Wu Tie was very innocent to have his head hit by Chen Jing. What could he do? Was he going to fight for Chen Xun?
"Sis, it's fine if she laughs. Sis, it's fine if you beat her back. She's not a match for you anyway."
Chen Jing rolled her eyes. "We're already old. How can we be as reckless as we were when we were young?"
For the three families in this small town, they had to take the initiative to take responsibility for the family after reaching the age of twenty. Males had to assume important positions within the family while females had to consider forming an alliance to bring benefits to the family.
Chen Jing was already eighteen and the family had been considering to choose a suitable partner for Chen Jing recently. Eldest Uncle Chen Yi had also repeatedly asked Chen Jing to be more obedient so that she wouldn't be unable to get married in the end.
At this point, Chen Jing felt a bit sad. Of course, she didn't want to be used as a tool for marriage. However, this was her mission. She had already enjoyed eighteen years of the family's nurturing, so it was time to fulfill her duties for the family.
Seeing Chen Jing's expression, Wu Tie did not know what to say. Chen Jing's talent was not bad, but she was only in this small town. In the future, she would at most be Martial Cultivator of Circulation Stage.
For a clan like the Chen Mansion, having one less Circulation Stage didn't have much of an impact. The appearance of one more Quasi-innate, or even one true Innate Circulation Stage, could bring about the sublimation of the entire clan's power.
If Chen Jing had displayed innate potential, the clan would not be willing to marry her.
Before Chen Yi could think of a way to comfort her, Chen Jing smiled and shook her head, "Why should I tell you these things?"
Chen Jing glared at Chen Yi. "You've made me suffer a lot from that bitch's teasing. If your cultivation regresses again this time, let's see how I'll teach you a lesson!" Chen Jing brandished her fist.
Chen Yi said with a bitter face, "I'll try my best."
"As much as you can, that's for sure!" Chen Jing snorted, and then, a hint of worry appeared in her eyes: "There is no doubt that your talent will be good enough for you to be able to breakthrough the Invigorated Meridian Stage at the age of ten. Even in our family, breaking through the Invigorated Meridian Stage at the age of ten would be good enough for you."
"The reason why my cultivation level has regressed is because I think that there's something wrong with my body. How about I let Third Uncle take me to have a look?"
Chen Yi shook his head: "No need, no need."
Chen Yi's father wanted to take Chen Yi to see a doctor a long time ago, but Chen Yi couldn't stop himself from doing so.
"You …" Chen Jing glared at him and shouted, "Why are you so stubborn! It was best to treat them as soon as possible before breaking through to the Great Circulation Stage. Could it be that he had to wait until he was eighteen to nineteen before he could treat them? Even the best few years of cultivation will be delayed, and at that time, even if my body recovers, there will be no hope of reaching the Innate Realm! "
The Upper Sky Realm was the true strong warrior of this world.
Chen Jing continued, "If you are unable to cure it, you will probably be sent out when you reach adulthood. You will be in business and earn money for your family. You will have a poor quality of life in the future."
"Even if we earn money, we can only ensure a decent quality of life. Most of the money we earn will go to the family."
"You are third uncle's son, how can you be reduced to …" Chen Jing had an expression of disappointment.
Chen Yi hurriedly begged for mercy: "Good, good, good. I will definitely treat my body. I just broke through today, so I have to stabilize my cultivation first."
After saying that, Chen Yi also fled, causing Chen Jing's chest to tremble in anger.
"..."
In a courtyard in Chen Mansion, Chen Yi pushed open the door and sat cross-legged on the bed. He wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead: "Luckily I ran away, otherwise, who knows how long I would have to continue being lectured by second sister."
Immediately after, Chen Yi sat cross-legged. He looked up with his five hearts and his dantian. He saw the Genuine Qi in his dantian surging. On top of these Genuine Qi, there was a dazzling ball of light.
"It's been four years, so you have to show some strength. Hurry up and activate it." Even though Chen Yi looked calm on the surface, he was actually a little anxious inside. In fact, Chen Yi could have completely avoided falling behind in terms of cultivation level, and with Chen Yi's talent, he was at least a martial artist at the middle stage of the Invigorated Meridian Stage who had three open meridians.
If everything went smoothly, he would be able to link with four of the eight meridians, and it might not be impossible for him to step into the peak of the middle stage of the Invigorated Meridian Stage.
However, in order to obtain the ball of light in his dantian, Chen Yi resisted the urge to continue improving. Instead, he gave all the transformed Genuine Qi to the ball of light to swallow.
Chen Yi was not a native of this world, but he had transmigrated here. As for why, he did not remember. He only remembered that when he woke up, he had become an infant and there was an extra system in his body. However, this system required sufficient energy to activate.
The quality of Genuine Qi s in Qi Condensation Stage was too low and did not meet the requirements of the system. The quality of Genuine Qi s in Invigorated Meridian Stage only met the lowest requirements of the system.
Now, four years had passed.
"Hopefully, System, you won't disappoint me." Chen Yi muttered.
Up till now, Chen Yi still did not know the true appearance of this system, nor did he know if it would be useful for his martial arts after activation.
If there wasn't a special reason, Chen Yi probably wouldn't have activated the system. After all, his talent wasn't bad to begin with. If he trained according to the rules, it was possible for him to reach the Innate Realm.
But...
Chen Yi's eyes revealed a hint of hatred.
"Father was also the most outstanding genius in Chen Mansion back then, and his talent was even greater than mine. He wasn't even ten years old at the time, and had already broken through to the Invigorated Meridian Stage by the time he was nine and a half years old, and was already at the peak of the Great Perfection of the Invigorated Meridian Stage at the time he was less than eighteen years old, with the two meridians at his disposal. He was an expert in Minor Circulation, just half a step away from breaking through the Circulation Stage.
"In order to help father receive better nurturing, grandfather once sent him to the Chen Family's main house."
"However …"
"Disciples of my clan have always looked down upon other branches. Because father offended one of them, he was crippled due to martial arts and sent back to Chen Mansion. This enemy father cannot be avenged, and Chen Mansion is also powerless. However, I cannot turn a blind eye to this!"
He is also the most outstanding genius in the family. My father does not even have eighteen meridians opened, and that is already considered an exceptional talent, but that enemy opened eight meridians at a younger age than my father and became a Circulation Stage expert. When I was still young, I heard that he had already advanced to the Innate Realm.
"With my natural talent, it would be difficult for me to take revenge against such an enemy."
"Now, I can only place my hopes on the system that has followed me here. Back then, this ball of light only sent me vague information, asking me to transmit energy to it."
"I hope that you're not lying to me."
Chen Yi took a deep breath, with a solemn face, he activated the Genuine Qi in his body and rushed towards the ball of light.
When the Genuine Qi approached the ball of light, it was as if the ball of light had smelled a delicacy, and started to flow. Following the flow of the ball of light, slivers of the Genuine Qi were sucked into the ball of light, and the suction force gradually increased.
The Genuine Qi in Chen Yi's Dantian decreased at a visible rate.
Just as the meridians were connected, the Genuine Qi also started to return to normal. Until the Genuine Qi completely disappeared, the meridians once again became blocked.
Chen Yi's face gradually turned pale, and his aura became weaker and weaker. After an incense stick of time, Chen Yi's aura suddenly decreased, and fell from the Invigorated Meridian Stage to the Qi Condensation Stage level, which wasn't even the limit of the Qi Condensation Stage.
"Right now, I need a day to recuperate and cultivate. In about two more days, I'll be able to break through again. Chen Yi felt his body and came to a verdict.
In the next second, Chen Yi's face suddenly revealed a hint of surprise.
The clump of light that had been silent within his body finally began to activate.
Then, the ball of light instantly turned into a multicolored stream of light and rushed towards Chen Yi's Sea of Consciousness.
