Chapter 54 - 52: Su Chen Obtains a Mysterious Cultivation Technique, Proud Celestial Profound Scripture

Long Dan was the tallest among the boys and had great authority. He looked at Su Chen arrogantly and said condescendingly, "Su Chen, who allowed you to run in the training field? My grandpa told me you shouldn’t be here!" Su Chen was startled, then a glimpse of understanding flashed in his clear eyes; these people were here to make trouble. He glanced at Su Ya and noticed her gaze pretending to leisurely wander, with a faint sneer at the corner of her mouth. At that moment, he pressed his lips together and said defiantly, "The training is over, it seems I haven’t affected you?" Angered by his gaze, Long Dan retorted coldly, "Hmph, you have affected us. You monster, a creature bringing harm to others and yourself from birth. If you’re smart, you’d better leave quickly, or else..." "Or else what?" Su Chen looked stubbornly at Long Dan, his fists clenched. "Or else, I’ll beat you up!" The two faced off, neither giving in, and the atmosphere became intensely tense. Though he was forbidden by the family to cultivate any cultivation technique since childhood, Su Chen never ceased his longing for training. To become a powerful figure on the Profound Cyan Continent, bring glory to his family, and honor his father—these were his greatest dreams. But the prerequisite for these dreams was possessing a strong body and enduring resilience. He received teachings from Su Hutian since childhood, deeply believing in the principle of proportional reward for hard work. While born with the Qilin bloodline, the inability to practice cultivation techniques was the greatest challenge for Little Su Chen. Over long years, the idea of forging a strong physique gradually emerged in his mind. Finally, at the age of five, he summoned the courage to enter the training field. He hadn’t expected that this would also attract others’ provocations. His clear eyes suddenly filled with hostility toward Long Dan and his group. Su Chen, withdrawn and isolated since childhood, clenched his fists and stared at them without a hint of submission. This greatly annoyed Long Dan, who had always been pampered, and his handsome face showed a hint of distortion. "You asked for this, brat, don’t blame me for bullying the weak!" With that, he suddenly stretched his powerful hands and grabbed Su Chen’s collar! Su Chen panicked and hurriedly slapped Long Dan’s arms, but he was still little, his strength far inferior to nine-and-a-half-year-old Long Dan, and he fell into a passive situation. Just as Long Dan thought he could easily throw him away, a crisp voice suddenly rang out, "Let go of Su Chen!" He turned his head and saw the angry face of Su Xue running over, shoving him hard! "Why are you bullying Su Chen?" Su Xue dragged the red-faced Su Chen, protecting him like a little brother. Long Dan was stunned, then his expression changed, gnashing his teeth, "Su Xue, why are you protecting this brat?" "I can’t stand seeing you bully Su Chen, I won’t allow you to treat him like this!" Su Xue shouted urgently, as if she were the one being bullied. Su Chen hid behind her, feeling a warm surge in his heart. He remembered clearly; this was the ninth time Su Xue had helped him out of trouble. Over the years, he endured countless cold remarks from family members, but his father’s words echoed in his ears, preventing him from expressing his true feelings. "Su Chen, this is a world where strength speaks, and without the security of strength, anger becomes a burden, even a fatal weakness. When you have the power to control everything, you’ll find the current suffering insignificant." "Hmph, brat, is hiding behind a girl’s back supposed to be impressive? Come out and fight me if you dare!" Long Dan shouted angrily. He wouldn’t dare act against Su Xue, as she was a girl, but it was different with Su Chen, "Your dad is a washed-up patriarch, and you’re a coward with no guts, only hiding behind girls without a word!" Su Chen trembled all over, his father’s gradually wrinkle-covered face flashed before him, along with deep helplessness, and a cold feeling quietly surfaced from the bottom of his heart. "You’re not fit to be a member of the Su Family, you useless, harmful little monster!" Long Dan got more excited, and the mocking tone grew more malicious. Though Su Xue trembled with anger, she dared not do anything else, only pointing at Long Dan with a pale face, speechless for a long time. Su Ya turned her face, casting a sidelong glance at Su Xue from the corner of her eyes. Her eyes flashed with contemplation, "Su Xue, are you protecting Su Chen because you have feelings for him?" Su Xue was taken aback, her face turning red, "You... you’re talking nonsense, I don’t!" "Haha, I’m just joking, don’t get excited." Su Ya showed a mischievous smile, causing the group to burst into laughter, making Long Dan even more exhilarated, "Rumor has it that Su Xue often helps him out of trouble, yet claims not to have feelings for him; what a blatant lie!" "You’re talking nonsense, I... I don’t have feelings for Su Chen, boo hoo, I don’t want to talk to you anymore!" After all, Su Xue still had a child’s temperament, getting rather vexed and running away crying, clutching her little fists. Su Chen stared blankly at her silhouette, a hint of loss flickered in his eyes. "Hey, have you seen enough? If so, how about re-evaluating our situation?" Long Dan sneered. But suddenly, Su Chen stared directly at him, a bright light flashed in his pitch-black eyes, and his tone turned surprisingly indifferent, "You’re still trying to provoke me?" "So what, do I fear you might bite me?" Long Dan responded indifferently. But in the next moment, he was astonished as Su Chen rushed over at an incredible speed, grabbing his clothes with both hands, and he cried out in surprise, "What are you doing!"
