Chapter 33 - 33: Breakthrough to Ninth Grade l



Lu Chen’s hand grenade was obtained from the Newbie Gift Pack he had in the beginning; he had never used it before.

To test the blast radius of these grenades, Lu Chen specially took one out for a trial explosion.

The grenades from the Newbie Gift Pack were much larger than the average hand grenade found on Earth, not designed for carrying on one’s person; therefore, they were also more powerful.

After Lu Chen approached the site of the explosion, he found that all the armors within a ten-meter radius had been pierced by the shards from the grenade’s blast, and the bodies of cows and sheep were riddled with holes.

The sight of the wounds on the cattle and sheep involuntarily filled the soldiers with dread, grateful that they had been a good distance away.

If they had been any closer, their bodies would likely be full of bloody holes by now.

At that moment, Lu Chen said to Chu Yuqin and Li Feng, “General Li, Madam Chu, what do you think of the weapon 1 just used?”

Li Feng immediately replied, “With such a divine artifact, the Prince is sure to unify the entire world!”

No sooner had Li Feng finished speaking than the soldiers kneeled in unison and exclaimed in one voice, “We congratulate the Prince on obtaining a divine artifact. The Prince will definitely unify the world and inspire awe in all directions!”

Lu Chen was somewhat speechless. Damn, a bunch of sycophants!

“Alright, get up, all of you.”

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, the soldiers promptly got to their feet.

Chu Yuqin then asked, “Chen’er, wasn’t that thing just now a one-time use? Do you still have many of them?”

Lu Chen replied, “Not many, just a few dozen, but we could make them ourselves once the conditions are right.”

Hearing Lu Chen’s response, Chu Yuqin was thrilled inside. With such a divine artifact, it would be much easier for Lu Chen to vie for that position in the Capital city in the future.

Like pulling a rabbit from a hat, Lu Chen then took out a grenade from his sleeve and said to Li Feng, “General Li, I’ll teach you how to use this first. When the assassins from Blood Moon Tower come that day, use this to give them a warm welcome.”

“As you command, my Prince.”

Then, Lu Chen taught Li Feng and the soldiers how to use the grenade, naturally without actually pulling the pin this time.

After showing the soldiers how to use it, Lu Chen spoke to them, “The North Prince was distributing rewards to the soldiers when Heavenly Thunder struck the Prince’s Mansion, frightening the North Prince into hiding in his room all afternoon.”

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, the soldiers immediately understood his intent; after all, the sound of the grenade’s explosion was too loud, and the neighbors around the Prince’s Mansion must have heard it.

If they didn’t find an excuse, it could potentially awaken suspicion among the people.

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, he quickly had people tidy up the back yard, and then he returned to the front court.

After Li Feng and the soldiers left the backyard, their relatives came forward, asking what had happened just now.

Li Feng and the others all claimed Heavenly Thunder had struck the backyard just now, giving the Prince quite a scare.

As evening fell,

The news that the North Prince Mansion had been struck by Heavenly Thunder spread throughout Yan County, leading people to wonder if the North Prince had done something utterly heinous to deserve being struck by lightning.

At the same time,

Hundred Flowers Tower.

Wang Qingci was lounging on the beauty couch in the loft, with her Cloud Attire loosely tied, displaying a very lazy demeanor.

At that moment, Chen Yu arrived at the loft.

“Madam Yu, what brings you here?” Wang Qingci inquired first.

Chen Yu replied, “Saintess, our people have found out that at noon, after the North Prince had his meal and was rewarding his soldiers, Heavenly Thunder struck from the sky, scaring the North Prince so much that he hid in his room and didn’t come out all afternoon.”

Hearing this, Wang Qingci smiled faintly, then rose from the beauty couch, showing a very interested look.

“This is somewhat interesting, did the North Prince sustain any injuries?”

Wang Qingci naturally did not believe that Lu Chen was actually scared by the Heavenly Thunder into hiding in his room for an entire afternoon without coming out. She only suspected that the North Prince was preparing something.

The idea that someone could be scared by the Heavenly Thunder is obviously a diversion to shift people’s attention.

At this moment, Chen Yu said, “We don’t know about that.”

Wang Qingci said indifferently, “Then 1’11 go to the North Prince Mansion again tonight to probe for some information.”

Hearing this, Chen Yu said with some concern, “Saintess, you go to the North Prince Mansion every night. It’s very easy for Chu Yuqin to discover you. Before the people from Blood Moon Tower arrive, I think it’s better for you not to go to the North Prince Mansion for the time being.”

Wang Qingci said, “You don’t have to worry about that. I generally don’t get near the inner courtyard, so Chu Yuqin won’t find out.”

Having said this, Wang Qingci stood up, ready to change clothes and head to the North Prince Mansion.

In the dead of the night.

A black figure appeared again in the inner courtyard of the North Prince Mansion.

At this time, Chu Yuqin was still patrolling the inner courtyard. Because of the incident with the grenade during the day, she was worried that spies might come to gather information at the North Prince Mansion, so she was extra diligent tonight.

When she saw a black figure swaggering into the main courtyard of the North Prince Mansion, Chu Yuqin was about to take action, but then she heard the black-clad woman say with a chuckle, “This servant pays her respects to Madam Chu. Good evening to you, Madam.”

Hearing that it was Wang Qingci’s voice, Chu Yuqin snorted coldly and said, “Remove your mask.”

Wang Qingci unhesitatingly took off her mask, and after confirming Wang Qingci’s identity, Chu Yuqin immediately turned and left, without any further words to Wang Qingci.

Watching Chu Yuqin’s retreating figure, the corners of Wang Qingci’s mouth turned up slightly, and then she muttered to herself, “It seems that Madam really dislikes me.”

As her words fell, Wang Qingci walked toward Lu Chen’s room.

After entering the room, Wang Qingci had planned to inquire if anything had happened at the Prince’s Mansion during the day. However, before she could speak, her words were stopped by a kiss.

Wang Qingci was somewhat speechless. Although her opinion of the North Prince had greatly improved, she also found that the rumors about the North Prince being a womanizer were absolutely true.

The term “womanizer” could no longer describe the North Prince. He was akin to a hungry ghost among the lustful.

Wang Qingci naturally did not know why Lu Chen was so eager.

Lu Chen was only thirty experience points away from breaking through to the second layer of the Qi Refinement Mantra. He was of course very anxious. He could hardly wait to become a Ninth Grade Martial Artist.

As his emotional cultivation with Wang Qingci was completed, the system notification finally sounded.

“[Host has cultivated feelings with Wang Qingci once, Qi Refinement Mantra experience points increased by 20. Triggered an Emotional Crit, experience points increased by another 40. Qi Refinement Mantra breaks through to the second layer, Rejuvenating Skill experience points increased by 10. Congratulations to the host for advancing to the Ninth Grade Realm.]”

After hearing the system notification, Lu Chen finally calmed down.

Then he felt a vast power surge into his body, making his body feel lighter in an instant and as if he had endless energy.

Not only that, he found that his vision had become clearer and his brain was exceptionally alert.

After enjoying the peculiar sensation of his realm advancement, Lu Chen couldn’t help but feel moved. So this is what it’s like to be a Ninth Grade Martial Artist!

He had never imagined that one day he could become a Ninth Grade Martial Artist!

When he was in the Capital City, he always thought he would just lie down for the rest of his life, remaining an ordinary person, because he had no talent for martial arts and couldn’t endure the hardships of martial training.

Unexpectedly, after gaining the system, he broke through to the Ninth Grade in less than half a year.

How wonderful!

With the enhancement of his personal strength, he now had some ability to protect himself.

In the future, he could consider going out to explore and plan the development direction of North City..
