Chen Xuan was strolling around the residence, looking for a secluded and quiet area to practice martial techniques. Although the technique was already in his head, he had to train it with his physical body to see how much potential it could produce.
As he was walking, his attention was drawn to a commotion in the distance. He saw many young nobles gathered around a training area; this piqued his curiosity, and Chen Xuan then stepped towards the crowd.
Inside the training ground, a young man and a young woman were engaged in a fight. The young man looked handsome and strong, and his movements looked very attractive. Meanwhile, the woman who was his opponent looked very beautiful and charming, her skin as white as snow. Her lips were as red as cherries, her hair long and wavy. Her body was very beautiful. Especially her small waist, which made anyone have the urge to hug her. Her eyes were bright and clear; you could even see your reflection in them.
Although Chen Xuan was a divine being in his previous life and had seen countless beautiful women, he had to admit that this woman was indeed top-notch.
"This woman is still very young, but she already possesses such beauty. I wonder what she will be like when she grows up, maybe she will bring a nation to its knees," Chen Xuan sighed.
At this time, there was a discussion among the audience.
"The Fourth Prince is extraordinary; at the age of 19, he has become a Ninth-Stage Body Refining realm cultivator and will soon be promoted to Qi Condensation and become a true practitioner."
"Right, among all the princes, the Fourth Prince is the most prominent and talented."
"Lady Mu Xue is more of a genius; at the age of 17, she is already a Ninth-Stage Body Refining realm cultivator, the same as the Fourth Prince. They are only two years apart, but Lady Mu is able to stand on par with the Fourth Prince."
"If Lady Mu successfully breaks through to Qi Condensation at the age of 18, she will be the second person to become a Qi Condensation realm cultivator at the youngest age."
"Ehh, the second? Who was the first?"
"The first was, of course, the Ninth Prince, but now he has become a useless trash. What a pity."
Hearing the audience's conversation, Chen Xuan looked at the two people in the training ground strangely.
Fourth Prince, Chen Chunsang, was the most talented prince in the current Chen Palace. Becoming a Ninth-Stage Body Refining realm cultivator at the age of 19 was indeed impressive; if no accident occurred, he would break through to Qi Condensation at the age of 20 and become a true practitioner at a young age.
On the martial artist continent, one was only declared a true practitioner when they reached the Qi Condensation realm. Because at that level, Qi energy would undergo a transformation into Battle Qi, and one could start cultivating Qi methods. And at that level, the cultivation speed would double compared to when one was in the Body Refining realm.
If someone reached Qi Condensation at the age of 20 or below, then their future potential would be very bright. Chen Chunsang was currently a genius and the hope of the Chen Palace.
As for Lady Mu Xue, she was indeed a famous genius. Back when Chen Xuan was still the number one genius, Mu Xue was number two. Her talent had been extraordinary since childhood, and the most impressive thing was her background. She was the granddaughter of Military Commander Mu Changying, a fighter known for his ferocity and bloodlust. His status in the Chen Imperial Palace in the capital was second only to Emperor Chen, and there were rumors that Mu Changying's strength was almost on par with Emperor Chen.
The reason why Mu Xue often visited the Chen Palace in the north was because of Chen Xuan, but that was a rumor in the past. Now everyone knew that Chen Xuan was trash and not worthy of being Chen Xuan's partner. Besides, Chen Xuan also had an engagement contract with a girl from the Yan Clan, Yan Ruo, who was also a kingdom-toppling beauty and a once-in-a-millennium genius.
But speaking of Chen Xuan's fiancee, Yan Ruo, ever since Chen Xuan lost his talent three years ago, Yan Ruo had never visited the Chen King's Palace again.
At this moment, there was an uproar among the audience because the Fourth Prince suddenly displayed an impressive Martial Technique.
Chen Chunsang suddenly moved swiftly towards Mu Xue, Qi energy gathering in his palm and forming the illusion of a tiger's claw. It looked very interesting.
When he arrived in front of Mu Xue, Chen Chunsang clawed quickly, trying to win in one blow.
"Tiger Claws!" shouted Chen Shunsang.
"Eh, this move..." Chen Xuan, who was in the crowd, stared at Chen Chunsang strangely. Tiger Claws was the Martial Technique that he had sold to the Treasure Pavilion for auction. How could it be in Chen Chunsang's hands?
"Extraordinary, this is the Mid-Black Rank Martial Technique, Tiger Claws. There was news that a mysterious person came to the Treasure Pavilion to sell a Black Rank Martial Technique; His Majesty the King was the one who won the technique at the auction for the price of one million silver coins."
"One million silver coins, His Majesty the King is indeed very generous. But such a high-level Martial Technique was actually given to the Fourth Prince."
"Yes, this proves how much His Majesty values the Fourth Prince. Perhaps the Fourth Prince will be the next king."
The spectators discussed amongst themselves after seeing the Martial Technique displayed by Chen Chunsang; they were very surprised and admired Chen Chunsang even more. But the most surprised was Chen Xuan.
"One million... The Martial Technique that I casually wrote actually sold for one million... Hahaha, I'm rich!" Chen Xuan laughed inwardly. If Chen Wang knew that the owner of the Tiger Claws Martial Technique was Chen Xuan, who knows what his expression would be, maybe he would spit blood.
Meanwhile, in the training ground. Seeing the illusory claws coming at her quickly, Mu Xue didn't panic. Her delicate, jade-white hand lifted, and a golden light enveloped her palm. When the illusory claws approached, she pushed her palm forward and met them head-on. The movement was very smooth and charming, as if her hand had no bones.
"Golden Tread!" shouted Mu Xue.
Bang!
The claws and palm met, creating a slight tremor and a puff of dust before returning to normal. When the dust cleared, everyone saw that Chen Chunsang had been knocked out of the training arena, and Mu Xue was still standing there calmly, without even a speck of dust on her clothes.
"The Fourth Prince actually lost after using a Mid-Black Rank Martial Technique!!"
"Lady Mu is so strong, even though she's still very young."
"The Martial Technique used by Lady Mu must be of a higher level, maybe High-Black Rank?"
The audience looked at Mu Xue with admiration and adoration, while Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes.
"This Mu Xue is not simple..." Chen Xuan was the closest practitioner to the legendary realm in his previous life; his talent and experience were vast. Just now, he had seen the technique Mu Xue used; it indeed looked simple and inconspicuous. But Chen Xuan managed to recognize it: it was a Mid-Heaven Rank Martial Technique. Such a technique, even Emperor Chen himself would never have seen, let alone the Mu Clan.
Heaven Rank Martial Techniques could only be found in ancient clans with thousands of years of history and were closely guarded to prevent them from spreading out. If it was discovered, it would result in a bloodbath. If one did not have enough strength or a strong background, even if they found such a high-level martial technique, they would not dare to take it because Heaven Rank Martial Techniques could attract the greed of strong individuals.
But here, in a small place like this, there was actually one, and it was in the hands of a little girl. There was no other explanation, this Mu Xue, she couldn't possibly be from the Mu Clan; there must be a more mysterious background behind her.
