Chapter 148 - 148: 133: Coping with the Imminent Threat
In Yinghui Grocery Store.
“Huff–“
Chen Sheng, who had just finished his morning training, leaped up from the ground.
His heavy body slammed into the ground, making a muffled noise.
Standing in place, Chen Sheng called out the panel.
[Chen Sheng]
[Strength: 70]
[Agility: 69]
[Constitution: 74]
[Skill Points: 82]
Nowadays, threats surround Chen Sheng, making him feel a strong sense of crisis.
Therefore,
As soon as he got up in the morning, after having breakfast, Chen Sheng immediately started practicing.
Even during the two hours of boiling the Spirit Medicine Soup, he didn’t waste any time and used it all to practice the Profound and True Martial Arts.
Fortunately,
After a morning of training and the energy brought by the two spirit medicines,
The effect of Chen Sheng’s training was extremely significant.
Agility and strength both increased by seven points.
Constitution also increased by eight points.
Such progress could be described as huge.
Not to mention, half a day has just passed now.
According to Chen Sheng’s estimate, by the end of his afternoon training,
He should be able to gather enough skill points to upgrade the Profound and True Martial Arts to the second layer.
The first layer of Profound and True Martial Arts not only brought Chen Sheng a significant increase in attributes but also brought him a strong defensive power.
Allowing him to firmly take the upper hand in the battle with Xiang Zeng.
Besides,
There was another skill, in a moist environment, Chen Sheng’s physical fitness would be significantly improved.
As for this ability, due to its limitations, Chen Sheng hasn’t tried it yet.
However…
At this thought,
Chen Sheng seemed to have an idea.
He looked up at the sky.
It was still clear.
But as Chen Sheng sniffed, he could clearly feel that the humidity in the air seemed to be constantly increasing.
It seemed to be raining.
Maybe by then, he could test how much this skill could enhance his abilities.
From the turtle shell pattern’s power,
It shouldn’t be too weak either.
And the second layer,
What kind of changes would it bring to Chen Sheng?
He was looking forward to it.
With this in mind,
Chen Sheng got up and went to the stone table to quench his thirst with a sip of water.
At this moment,
There was a sudden noise from the front door.
It was the sound of someone opening the glass door.
Following this was the sound of hurried footsteps.
Without having to think about it, Chen Sheng knew it was Xu Ying who had gone out.
Now, because of Zhou Li’s poor health,
The grocery store had been closed for a long time.
If it wasn’t for Xu Ying being diligent, cleaning every day, and throwing out the expired stuff,
The store would have been smelly long ago.
However,
This young man seemed to be restless, as if he couldn’t wait to have work to do twenty-four hours a day.
Even during Chen Sheng’s practice, when he couldn’t move around in the backyard, he would ask Chen Sheng if he needed him to go out to do anything.
As luck would have it,
Chen Sheng happened to have something for him to do today.
At this time,
Xu Ying just entered the grocery store and saw that the deafening heartbeat had stopped. He quickly walked to the backyard.
“Brother Chen, it’s done.”
“I’ve already deposited the money in it.”
Xu Ying handed Chen Sheng a bank card and several documents.
Then,
He sat down by the stone table, carefully watching Chen Sheng.
“Brother Chen.”
“You…l…”
Xu Ying opened his mouth, looking hesitant.
He had just gone out and, under Zhou Li’s introduction, sold one or two valuable items that belonged to Xu Yang.
The money from the sale, according to Chen Sheng’s idea, was deposited into two cards.
One card was left with the Eagle Body Sect, and the other was taken by Chen Sheng.
As for the documents,
They were procedures for changing the acting Sect Leader of the Eagle Body Sect.
In the morning,
During the meal, Chen Sheng mentioned his plan to leave the Eagle Body Sect to Zhou Li.
Zhou Li knew Chen Sheng’s concerns and didn’t say much.
He just became noticeably quieter.
Xu Ying, of course, was even more affected. The main reason he joined the Eagle Body Sect, besides being homeless, Was because of Chen Sheng’s presence.
Now that Chen Sheng wanted to leave, he suddenly felt a little lost.
“Hmm.”
Chen Sheng gave a light sigh, looking at Xu Ying.
Seeing his dejected face, Chen Sheng laughed and patted his shoulder.
“As for you, just stay in the Eagle Body Sect.”
“At least until Old Zhou recovers, I won’t leave.”
Chen Sheng looked at the water cup in his hand, his eyes somewhat absent-minded.
Initially, he promised Zhou Li that even if he left the Eagle Body Sect, he would at least wait until he found two or three talented disciples.
But now,
Chen Sheng felt that Xu Ying was more suitable for this task than himself.
Continuing to be the sect leader would be more harmful than beneficial for Zhou Li and the Eagle Body Sect.
Seeing that Chen Sheng had made up his mind,
Xu Ying could not say anything else.
He could only hang his head and stand up, walking towards the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for lunch.
As for Chen Sheng,
After relaxing for a few minutes, he got up and went to the empty ground to begin his training again. Ding-dong-
But at this moment,
The phone on the table suddenly lit up.
Chen Sheng turned his head to look, and his face immediately became serious.
On the screen, it showed that it was a call from Zhou Qiming.
The phone call was probably related to the Power Sect.
He immediately picked it up.
“I have something important to tell you.”
Zhou Qiming’s voice came from the other end of the line.
Then, he relayed the events at the Association in the morning to Chen Sheng.
When he first heard that Xiang Zeng was still alive, Chen Sheng looked astonished.
He clearly remembered that he had already killed the man.
And when Zhou Qiming mentioned the rest of the story, as well as the two men from Kongming Boxing Club preparing to come to Quanjiang City to kill him, Chen Sheng’s face became even more somber.
“I’m sorry, I can’t resolve this matter with my abilities, so I can only give you advance notice.’
“Chen Sheng, if you really can’t… just run away.” Zhou Qiming advised with an unbelievably serious tone.
For a moment,
Chen Sheng didn’t respond.
His mind was racing, thinking about what to do.
According to the information Zhou Qiming provided,
Li Hengkong of the Kongming Boxing Club was able to briefly fight with Zhao Zhenfeng.
However, neither of them had exerted their full strength.
But they were likely much stronger than Xiang Zeng.
Although Chen Sheng’s attributes had increased compared to yesterday, it still seemed…not safe enough.
What he needed now was time.
“Brother Zhou, do you have any idea when they might arrive in Quanjiang
“They just set off and will visit the martial arts halls in Haizhou City, which will take at least two hours.’
“From Haizhou to your place…”
Upon hearing this,
Chen Sheng furrowed his eyebrows.
Four hours.
His training needed time.
Breaking through required time as well.
What if, when breaking through to the Profound and True Martial Arts, Chen Sheng would pass out like he had before, and the enemies just happened to arrive at that time?
Then he would be digging his own grave—certainly doomed.
He had to figure out a way to delay.
Thinking of this,
“I understand, Brother Zhou. Thank you for giving me a heads-up.”
After hanging up the phone, a cold light flashed in Chen Sheng’s eyes.
He went to the kitchen.
“Xu, help me cook two stalks of spirit medicine soup.”
“Alright.”
Xu Ying agreed without hesitation.
These past few days, he had been pestering Old Zhou, learning about the combination of spirit medicine and herbs, as well as the technique of decocting them.
Now he also had a preliminary understanding.
After instructing Xu Ying,
Chen Sheng practiced the Profound and True Martial Arts in the backyard as if nothing had happened.
Two hours later.
Xu Ying had lunch ready.
Chen Sheng got up again and finished eating with the two of them.
During the meal, he summoned the panel. [Chen Sheng] [Strength: 72] [Agility: 71] [Constitution: 77]
[Skill Points: 89]
The two hours of training had increased Chen Sheng’s attributes by another point.
With a little more time, he could directly upgrade the Profound and True Martial Arts.
Unfortunately…
The two from the Kongming Boxing Club had probably already set off.
There wasn’t much time left for Chen Sheng.
After the meal,
“Old man, I remember your store has monitoring, right?”
Chen Sheng suddenly spoke up.
“Why?”
Old Zhou glanced at him, somewhat confused.
“Give me your phone, and later go out with Xu Ying for a while.”
“Don’t come back until I call.”
Upon hearing this,
Old Zhou’s expression instantly turned serious.
It wasn’t his first time experiencing this kind of situation.
Whenever enemies might arrive, Chen Sheng would ask him to hide.
Previously, he hid in his room.
But this time,
Chen Sheng told them to leave the grocery store directly.
Obviously,
The enemies were very strong.
“Can you handle it?”
Old Zhou asked solemnly.
“I can.”
Chen Sheng nodded confidently. Upon hearing this,
Old Zhou had no more doubts.
He threw his phone at Chen Sheng right away.
“Alright, don’t pack up, let’s go.”
Old Zhou waved his hand and directly instructed Xu Ying to carry him. He knew that the two of them would only be a burden to Chen Sheng as he was now.
The best they could do was try not to hold him back as much as possible.
One minute later.
Old Zhou and Xu Ying had already left the grocery store.
Chen Sheng slowly got up, grabbed a glass of water from the room, went to the kitchen, and poured the spirit medicine soup into the glass.
Then, he walked straight out of the house.
At the same time, in Haizhou City,
> the pair from the Kongming Boxing Club had just taken a car to Quanjiang.
Pitter-patter.
From the back seat, Qi Ming was attracted by a sound outside the window.
He looked up.
“It seems…. it’s raining?
