Chapter 77: Chapter 76: Seeing Through and Successfully Passing Through

Translator: 549690339

“A week ago, you were just an insignificant Light Energy practitioner.”

“When Guo Yang and Xiao Qian went to apologize to you last time, you were merely approaching the Hidden Energy Level.”

“And just two or three days have passed since you allegedly escaped from the hands of the Transforming Power Realm black-clothed person.”

“Do you want to claim that your strength jumped from Light Energy to

Transforming Power in just two days?”

At this point,

Li Xingwu’s gaze was sharp as lightning, staring intently into Chen Sheng’s eyes.

It seemed as if he wanted to penetrate Chen Sheng’s eyes and see through his inner thoughts.

But Chen Sheng just hung his head low, without uttering a word.

Seeing his unmoved appearance, Li Xingwu continued to press him. “Your lie might deceive my disciples who know nothing about martial arts.” “But it will not deceive me!”

“You obviously don’t understand what level Transforming Power represents!”

“Only those with Transforming Power can escape from the hands of a Transforming Power practitioner!”

“Anyone below that level has no chance to resist a Transforming Power martial artist, let alone escape from their clutches.” “So you must be lying!”

Li Xingwu seemed to have discovered the truth.

Ever since his son took Chen Sheng as a disciple, a series of messy incidents had occurred one after another.

First, they were attacked by a mysterious organization, followed by Li Qian’s death, and now Guo Yang’s disappearance.

Although all these events appeared unrelated to Chen Sheng,

Li Xingwu had an intuition that the young man was definitely problematic!

At this moment,

Hearing Li Xingwu’s words, everyone except Wu Ran turned their gaze on Chen Sheng.

Li Chenghu’s subordinates, although they didn’t believe Li Xingwu’s words, were still waiting for Chen Sheng’s explanation.

Facing the scrutiny of everyone present,

Chen Sheng opened his mouth as if trying to defend himself.

However, the words never left his lips.

He looked speechless and at a loss for words.

Seeing this,

Li Xingwu snorted derisively. “As I thought, you have

“Enough!”

Suddenly,

A commanding voice interrupted Li Xingwu’s speech.

It was Li Chenghu who had spoken. “If my disciple does anything wrong, I will handle it myself.”

“You just take care of your own disciple.”

“Guo Yang is missing, so why are you still here wasting time with us?” “Can’t you search yourself before calling the police?”

Li Chenghu’s expression was cold, and his mood seemed to be very bad.

Facing his own father, he was also very impolite. “My sickroom is not a place for you to rant.”

“Now, you can leave.”

Li Chenghu glanced at the Wu’An Bureau members surrounding him, and they immediately got the hint.

“Master Li, please don’t disturb our captain’s rest.”

“Let’s go.”

Xu Rou and the others stood beside Li Xingwu, their intentions clear.

“You—

Li Xingwu’s eyes widened, glaring at his son.

But Li Chenghu didn’t even look at him, just waving his hand dismissively.

The two men stared at each other for a few seconds.

In the end,

Li Xingwu finally withdrew his hand and snorted coldly.

“Continue to believe this kid.”

“One day, you will regret it.”

With that, he threw down one final cold remark before getting up to leave the sickroom.

“Take care, Grand Master.”

Chen Sheng smiled as he bid farewell to Li Xingwu.

Then,

He looked at Wu Ran, following behind Li Xingwu.

If everything went according to plan,

Xingwu Gym would likely participate in the Martial Arts Conference.

When that time came, they might encounter each other.

Taking this opportunity, Chen Sheng wanted to see just what level of strength Wu Ran, Li Xingwu’s treasured genius disciple, had reached.

The next second,

Wu Ran’s attribute panel appeared before his eyes. Chen Sheng’s pupils contracted instantly.

[Wu Ran]

[Strength:13-7] [Agility:ll.l]

[Constitution:13-4]

[Skills:Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound IV2, Crane Echoing Wind Chime IV2]

Strong.

Very strong.

Wu Ran’s attributes were far beyond Chen Sheng’s current level.

Even in his normal state, Wu Ran is almost equivalent to Chen Sheng when he activates his Eagle Body Breathing Technique.

With such high attributes, Chen Sheng estimated that it would take him at least two days to catch up.

He clearly remembered,

When he first joined the martial arts hall, Wu Ran was only at the Hidden Energy Level.

Was he hiding his strength?

Or… was there another motive?

Moreover, Wu Ran’s panel showed that besides Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound, he had also mastered another technique called Crane Echoing Wind Chime.

From its name, it seemed to be another breathing technique.

At this moment,

As if sensing Chen Sheng’s gaze,

Wu Ran’s eyes subtly shifted, looking right at Chen Sheng.

Their gazes met.

This Wu Ran, he was definitely up to something.

Chen Sheng’s heart sank, a hint of caution rising within him.

As for wu Ran,

He continued to treat everything around him with the same indifference as before.

He simply glanced at Chen Sheng before looking away again.

Soon,

With the sound of the door closing,

All the others had left the room.

A somber atmosphere descended upon the hospital room.

Neither Chen Sheng nor Li Chenghu spoke.

Only the instruments at the side emitted a constant beeping sound.

With a calm expression, Li Chenghu stared at Chen Sheng without speaking. But the pressure in his gaze made Chen Sheng’s smile slowly fade.

“Li Qian is dead, did you know?”

Suddenly,

Li Chenghu spoke up.

Upon hearing this question,

Chen Sheng instinctively nodded his head.

“I know.” “Who told you?”

“It was…..”

Chen Sheng was about to answer, But Li Chenghu quickly added,

“Ah Sheng, think it over before you speak.” “The answer to this question is very important.”

He calmly looked at Chen Sheng. Upon seeing this,

Chen Sheng’s heartbeat missed a beat.

He slightly clenched his hands and pinched his thighs.

This subtle movement was naturally noticed by Li Chenghu.

But he didn’t rush him.

He just waited quietly for the answer.

After a long time.

Chen Sheng took a deep breath. It seemed as if he had come to a decision.

“Guo Yang told me.”

Hearing this answer,

Li Chenghu’s heart secretly sighed with relief.

He wasn’t a fool.

Even with the cover of his injuries, he could see the change in Chen Sheng’s bearing at a glance.

The loopholes in the lies were even more obvious.

Li Chenghu was just waiting.

Waiting for Chen Sheng to voluntarily tell him everything.

“Master, I want to show you something.”

At this moment,

Chen Sheng suddenly stood up.

He walked to the empty space in the ward and closed his eyes.

The next second,

“Inhale”—

The sound of inhalation immediately drowned out the beeping of the instruments in the ward.

Chen Sheng’s body continued to expand.

Ripping

The bandages that were originally wrapped around him were torn apart.

In the blink of an eye,

Chen Sheng entered the state of the Breathing Technique.

“This—

Looking at the towering Chen Sheng, with muscles bulging all over his body and a frightening aura,

There was a flash of shock on Li Chenghu’s face.

Even if he did not have a deep understanding of martial arts,

The constant warning bells in his mind, as well as the sharp sense of threat at this moment,

It was clear to Li Chenghu that Chen Sheng’s current strength was far beyond his imagination.

His disciple would probably not take much effort to kill him.

“Master, I’ve killed people.”

In the Breathing Technique state, Chen Sheng’s voice was somewhat deep.

He spoke slowly,

Telling the story of his relationship with Shen Ziming, and his killings of the pig-faced man, the faceless man, and the two brothers of the Wang family.

Except for…..

“When I arrived at the woods near the chemical plant, I found Li Qian’s corpse, two workers wearing gas masks, and Shen Ziming.”

“I killed those two men and saved Shen Ziming, and immediately returned home that night to pack my things, only to be attacked by Guo Yang.”

“I fled to Yinghui Grocery Store to hide….”

“Until last night, Guo Yang and two other dog-faced men attacked me. I fought desperately and killed the two dog-faced men.”

“As for Guo Yang, he also cultivated the Breathing Technique, and I couldn’t hold on to him.”

Chen Sheng’s real lies were hidden under the many glaring flaws of the first layer of lies,

When people thought they had uncovered the first layer of lies, they would believe they found the truth.

Adding in the part that Chen Sheng showed willingly,

This time,

Li Chenghu finally believed his words.

Chen Sheng exited the breathing method state and sat back down at the bedside.

“Master… I really didn’t want to kill anyone.”

“But in that situation, I couldn’t help myself…”

Chen Sheng lowered his head, seemingly apprehensive about the fate that awaited him.

Hearing his words,

Li Chenghu was silent for a long time.

Eventually,

He let out a deep sigh.

“Ah Sheng, you should leave.”

Whiz!

Chen Sheng raised his head, his face showing surprise. “Master—

Li Chenghu raised his hand to stop him from continuing.

“Although the world now seems to be calm on the surface, there are raging undercurrents beneath.”

“I took you as a disciple because I was afraid of such a day and wanted to wait until you gained more strength before I could use my connections to get you into the Wu’an Bureau.”

“But I didn’t expect your strength to progress too quickly and for all this to happen too fast. Even if I want to recruit you now, it’s too late.”

At this point, Li Chenghu waved his hand again, His shoulders slumped, looking somewhat dejected.

“Go ahead.”

At this moment, Li Chenghu didn’t know how to face Chen Sheng.

Hearing this,

Chen Sheng silently stood up and bowed deeply to Li Chenghu.

“Master, take care.”

Chen Sheng’s voice trembled slightly. After saying that,

He turned around and prepared to leave.

Just as he was about to open the door to the ward,

“Ah Sheng.”

Li Chenghu’s voice came from behind him again.

Chen Sheng turned around.

Li Chenghu looked up at Chen Sheng’s eyes and said,

“Today, you didn’t tell me anything about killing people.”

“I believe what you said at first. As for the rest, I don’t know anything.”

“But remember. ”

“Don’t take the wrong path.”

“I don’t want to see your name on the Wu’an Bureau’s wanted list.”

Hearing this,

Chen Sheng nodded heavily.

He clenched his fists, his face full of gratitude.

“Please rest assured, Master.”

After that,

He opened the door and walked out.

Clatter—

The door to the ward was closed.

Chen Sheng’s expression quickly faded and turned plain.

He looked around.

Li Xingwu and the people from the Wu’an Bureau had left, leaving only one or two unfamiliar people in charge of guarding.

“Don’t worry, Master.” “I won’t let you regret today.” Chen Sheng whispered softly.

With that,

Chen Sheng casually tore the bandages off his body and threw them into a nearby trash can.

He walked towards the exit.

His steps were steady and strong..
