Monarch Of Heaven's Wrath 75 Kidnapped By A Mischievous Fox.

He was currently standing in the area that was his living quarters, continuously repeating the basic moves that he had been taught by Xiao Yong while he was in the Mystic's Hidden Realm. He didn't know any advanced moves or techniques, so these basic stances were the only thing he could practice.

His living quarters were rather beautiful, consisting of a small hidden realm that only he or those he allowed were able to enter. The place wasn't too large, containing a small lake, only around 100 meters in each direction, filled with crystal clear water. At the side of the lake stood a large weeping willow, drooping down over the lake, as well as a single wooden hut, which was where he was supposed to sleep.

Once the sun had fully risen over the horizon, Liang Chen stopped repeating the basic moves. He took off his robe and jumped into the crystal clear lake, the cold water refres.h.i.+ng his mind. He took a quick bath before leaving the lake, drying himself with a large piece of coa.r.s.e cloth he had prepared beforehand, changing into a fresh cyan-colored robe and leaving his living quarters.

Liang Chen slowly made his way through the valley that nearly split the mountain half, occasionally greeting others or getting greeted by others, stopping for a little chat.

"Up as early as always, Junior Brother Chen. Heading to the Third library again?"

The one who stopped Liang Chen was a somewhat short girl, only around a meter and a half in height. She had long black hair and soft features, as well as kind eyes that were a strange yellow in color. Liang Chen cupped his hands, returning the greeting with a light laugh.

"I'm afraid not, Senior Sister Xinya. I finished with the Third library six days ago, so I have already started with the Fourth Library."

Liang Chen had joined the Storm Wolf sect outside of the normal entrance period, so he was the newest member. This meant that he had to greet all the other disciples with Senior Brother or Sister, while everyone else called him Junior Brother. Hearing that he had seemingly already finished with the Third Library, Situ Xinya couldn't help but click her tongue.

"Tch, already done with the Third library? I really don't know how you can read that fast. Oh well, you have fun with your reading, just don't forget to keep your cultivation in mind. The next compet.i.tion starts in three months, so you'll be able to gain some experience there."

The eight libraries of the Storm Wolf sect were incredibly large, containing a vast variety of books that spoke about most topics. And yet this Junior Brother Chen of hers, who had only been in the sect for a little over two months, had already finished reading all the books in three of the libraries. His reading speed truly left one baffled. Liang Chen nodded his head with a faint smile, cupping his hands and walking past this Senior Sister of his.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister Xinya, I haven't forgotten about it."

Liang Chen didn't head for the Wolf Hall palace after splitting up with Situ Xinya, he headed for the Storm Hall palace. Once he reached the palace, he headed to the back of it, stopping in front of one of the six towers that surrounded it. Compared to the other eight towers in the sect, this tower looked a bit more normal, resembling a nine-storied paG.o.da carve out of green jade.

Liang Chen pushed open the large gate, stepping through the short hallway and entering the tower, giving a quick greeting to the two people who were sitting at a small table, playing a game of Go.

"Good morning, Elder Jade, Senior Brother Jiahao."

The people playing Go were a middle-aged woman with an elegant bearing and skin that was snow as white. Her skin seemed rather strange, as it gave off a faint l.u.s.ter. She had long green hair, orange eyes, and always carried a charming smile. The other person was a robust man with shoulder-length brown hair, thick eyebrows, skin that resembled the woman's, and black eyes.

The woman was the spirit of the supreme technique stored in this tower, the Jade Skin Technique, a skill that could temporarily increase a person's defense and physical attack through a special utilization of their Qi. The man was Fan Jiahao, one of the Storm Hall top disciples, the one who specialized in the Jade Skin Technique. The woman only gave a faint nod in greeting, but Fan Jiahao cupped his hands in a polite greeting.

"Good morning, Junior Brother Chen. Have you come to continue what you were doing before I threw you out?"

Fan Jiahao chuckled lightly as he looked at Liang Chen, who could only scratch his cheek with a somewhat awkward expression. Fan Jiahao chuckled once more, waving his hand at Liang Chen and allowing him to calm down.

"Don't worry, I won't throw you out this time. That is, only as long as you remember to return to your quarters and rest every now and then. Studying and cultivating is fine, but you mustn't overdo it and ruin your body."

A little over one day ago, Fan Jiahao had thrown Liang Chen out of the tower, forcing him to return to his living quarters. The reason for this was that ever since Liang Chen had acquired the Chaos King Technique, he had basically started to live inside the libraries, only leaving for the occasional walk or to get some food.

Fan Jiahao was worried that Liang Chen would ruin himself if he didn't get some sleep soon, but how could they know that Liang Chen no longer needed to sleep, thanks to the awakening of his bloodline. Liang Chen once again cupped his hands at Fan Jiahao, nodding his head with a smile.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother Jiahao."

Liang Chen bid the two people farewell, heading higher up the tower and finding the bookshelf he had been on when he was forced to leave. He picked out a large stack of books and brought them over to a small table, sitting down on the only chair placed next to the table.

Once he was sitting, Liang Chen mobilized his law of time and sped up the flow of time around him. Had this been in the outside world, he could quadruple the speed of time for around two hours. But the Qi in the air within the Storm Wolf sect was far denser and more abundant than in the outside world. This was especially so for the libraries, which were covered in formations to attract the surrounding Qi and purify it.

As long as he was inside the libraries, Liang Chen could keep his law of time active for most of the day, drastically increasing the amount of reading he could do in one day. Of course, he didn't only spend these last two months reading, he always split off two parts of his mind to focus on other things. These other things he focused on would not be done as fast as if he had focused his entire mind on it, but thanks to the increased flow of time, it was still very effective.

The things Liang Chen focused the most on were his Lightning G.o.d Physique and starting to cultivate the Chaos King Technique. One couldn't just start to refine other beings after acquiring the Chaos King Technique, there was one thing that had to be done first, carving new channels for your Qi to flow.

There were a total of nine new channels that had to be carved, three for your Qi, three for your body, and three for your soul, with each stage of the Chaos King Technique requiring you to carve a new channel. Over these last two months of reading and cultivating, Liang Chen had managed to carve the channel needed to refine the souls of other beings, as well as turning all the bone marrow in his legs into liquid lightning. Next, he would have to start working on his torso and head, which required a bit more care and effort, so they would require all his concentration.

This cultivation had also left its marks on Liang Chen. Since he had continuously sped up time around him, he had grown quite a bit taller in just two months, now standing at 1.70. His height, coupled with his rather delicate features, his emerald green hair, and his golden eyes, made him look like a rather handsome scholar.

He was technically only thirteen, but he already looked like a youth of about 16. The sped up time he had been using so often made it so that he was now approaching the end of his growth phase, at which point his aging and growth would slow down drastically thanks to his cultivation.

Liang Chen wanted to finish reading all the books that the sect had to offer, gathering up a large amount of knowledge before he started to check out to the other cultivation areas of the sect. And for two months, this plan had been going swimmingly, but it seemed like it wasn't meant to be, as today, his peaceful reading time was interrupted by a loud voice.

"Geh, you really are cooping yourself up in the libraries. I heard you haven't even checked out any of the cultivation areas after you received the Chaotic Flesh technique, is this true?"

Liang Chen returned the flow of time to normal, raising his head from the book he was reading. Yan Ling was walking towards him, raising an eyebrow at him, as if she found his actions to be a bit strange. Liang Chen closed the book, placing it back on top of the stack next to him, shrugging his shoulders.

"It's not wrong, I wanted to finish reading all the books the sect had to offer first, increase my knowledge. What can I help you with?"

Since Yan Ling had come, it was clear that he would be unable to continue reading, as she had obviously figured out something 'fun' that they could do. And just like he thought, she stopped in front of him, her lips curling into a smile as she let out an excited laugh.

"Nihihi, I've found a good mission we can undertake. What do you think?"

Liang Chen was actually rather taken aback at her words. This was the first time in two months she had come to find him, so he expected her to have prepared another prank to pull on him. He didn't immediately respond, placing his elbow on the table and leaning his head against his hand, a somewhat surprised expression on his face.

"You're actually asking about my opinion instead of just dragging me along?"

He had something of an understanding when it came to Yan Ling, so he had expected her to completely disregard his opinion and then just drag him along. Yan Ling saw the expression on Liang Chen's face, her smile growing a bit brighter as she snickered.

"Nope, I'm just asking you what you are thinking before I tell you what we are doing. It'll help you feel better."

Before Liang Chen even had the time to think 'as I thought', Yan Ling stretched out her arm and grabbed onto the collar of Liang Chen's robe, pulling him up from the chair and starting to walk. This was the first time they had met in two months, or rather eight months for Liang Chen, so he was in a rather good mood and decided to play along, walking backward and letting her drag him along by the collar as she comforted him.

"Don't worry, it's a good mission that'll net the both of us some good profit, it also isn't too dangerous."

Liang Chen didn't doubt Yan Ling's words, as he was certain that her father and big brother wouldn't allow her to head out for a mission that was too dangerous. And even if the mission proved more dangerous than first thought, she had likely been handed several talismans, just like the ones she had used in thet Mystic's Hidden Realm.

The two continued with their play, quickly descending the tower. They received a few shocked looks, but no one stepped forward to stop them or ask what they were doing. When they pa.s.sed by the two people playing Go by the entrance, Liang Chen cupped his hands, while Yan Ling gave them a cheery nod of the head.

"Good morning, Elder Jade and Senior Brother Jiahao! I'll be borrowing this one!"

The two then quickly left the tower, Yan Ling dragging Liang Chen to the Mission Castle that was located by the Wolf Hall tower. Fan Jiahao's expression was a little ugly after seeing Liang Chen and Yan Ling, but Elder Jade only let out an amused chuckle.

"Borrowing? Why did that look more like a kidnapping?"
