Chapter Twenty-Four: The Matter Is Clear
The picture in front of me is too weird. First, Wang Shi slapped himself dozens of times in a row, and then shouted that God used thunder to slash him, but what he didn't expect was that there was really a thunder slashing at him, as if God heard his request.
It's just that anyone with a little eyesight can see that the thunder and lightning are not naturally formed, but the thunder and lightning magic released by An Chen. Every lightning bolt was not fatal, but it would make Wang Shi feel abnormal pain.
"Come on, keep chopping me!" Wang Shi shouted to the sky, as if he was enchanted.
As soon as Wang Shi's words fell, the next thunderbolt came as promised, knocking Wang Shi to the ground again.
"Smack!"
Wang Shi's face came into close contact with the ground. This is not over, Wang Shi, who fell to the ground, immediately got up again, and shouted to the sky again, "Go on! Lao Tzu is not afraid of you!"
So, in the next half an hour, the people around saw an even more strange scene.
First, a lightning bolt struck Wang Shi, then Wang Shi fell to the ground, and then immediately got up and launched a war against God, and then another lightning bolt hit Wang Shi again, and so on......
Lightning, falling to the ground, getting up...... Six words are enough to sum up the scene in front of you.
Everyone's mouths were wide open, as if they had seen a ghost.
"This person ...... It's ruthless!"
"It hurts when I look at it, doesn't he hurt?"
"I took it...... This Wang Shi can bend and stretch, it's amazing!"
Wang Mo looked at the scene in front of him, and he was about to vomit out a mouthful of old blood. He originally thought that it would be over just for An Chen to beat Wang Shi violently, but he didn't expect that An Chen's hand was not raised at the moment, this Wang Shi was actually punishing himself, if this word came out, where would the Wang family's face go?
After a long while, Wang Shi finally lay on the ground and stopped getting up. Just when everyone thought that this strange scene was finally coming to an end, Wang Shi suddenly picked up the stone on the ground and kept hitting it with his head.
"Knock! knock!"
The dull voice rang out all around again, and everyone was dumbfounded again.
What kind of trouble is this?
It didn't last long before Wang Shi's face was covered with wounds, and blood flowed all over his body, making him a bloody man all over his body.
An Chen quietly watched the scene in front of him. If it was An Chen before, when he saw Wang Shi's miserable appearance, he would definitely feel sympathy and soft-heartedness. But now An Chen has understood that being merciful to the enemy is cruel to himself. If you are soft-hearted now because you sympathize with the other party and are miserable, then will the other party be soft-hearted when it is your turn to be miserable? Therefore, everything Wang Shi did before was under An Chen's control.
After hitting the stone more than a dozen times in a row, An Chen asked Wang Shi to stop. The next moment, An Chen dispersed his spiritual power and returned it to Wang Shi's original thoughts.
At the moment when An Chen's spiritual power receded, Wang Shi's eyes blinked, obviously he had recovered now.
Before he could understand what was going on in front of him, Wang Shi felt a sharp pain all over his body, and when he looked down, his body was covered with wounds of all sizes, and blood had already flowed to every corner of his body.
"Ahh At this moment, Wang Shi could no longer hide his fear, and cried bitterly, "You...... What have you done to me?"
An Chen looked at Wang Shi coldly and didn't say anything.
After a while, An Chen asked, "Do you want to kill me like that?"
Wang Shi hurriedly shook his head in a panic and said tremblingly, "It's me who is wrong, I don't dare anymore......! I was really wrong......"
Wang Shi was really scared. Others may still have doubts about what happened before, but he knows it very well as a person concerned. Before, it was An Chen's spiritual power that directly fixed him and forcibly occupied his thoughts. Wang Shi didn't dare to imagine what kind of means this was to make his spiritual power have no resistance in front of the other party. So at this moment, Wang Shi just wanted to end this inhuman torture as soon as possible.
An Chen looked at Wang Shi's panicked demeanor and said lightly, "Chop off one of your hands, and we will clear this matter." After finishing speaking, he threw Wang Shi a knife and let Wang Shi cut himself by himself.
"Huh?" Wang Shi was stunned, "this...... Can you?"
"If you talk nonsense, both hands will be cut off together. β
Wang Shi gritted his teeth, knowing that he had no other choice at this moment. He took a deep breath, and then his hand fell, and one of Wang Shi's hands fell to the ground, blood staining the earth red.
Wang Shi fell to his knees in pain, tears sliding down the blood and falling to the ground, very desolate, very terrible.
An Chen's cold eyes showed a hint of sympathy for the first time, and he said slowly, "I don't want to be like this. But you forced me to ......"
After finishing speaking, An Chen turned around and walked in the direction of An's house, never looking back at Wang Shi again.
......
With An Chen's departure, the matter is officially over. However, the impact of this incident is far from over.
An Chen's name once again spread throughout the entire White Town. People were very surprised that An Chen was still alive, and they were even more surprised by the series of self-harm behaviors displayed by Wang Shi.
"Eh, have you heard? An Chen, the genius of the An family, is not dead!"
"What? How could he possibly get out of the first level of the canyon?"
"It is said that it was Su Wanting, the girl who disappeared with him, who successfully broke through and became a first-level magician, so she was able to lead An Chen to escape from the first layer of the canyon. β
"I also heard that the series of self-harm behaviors that Wang Shi did at the door of Wang's house were actually caused by An Chen's strong mental power. β
"This can't be, is it! Mental power is still used for this?"
......
In the Lin family's mansion, Lin Chengfeng looked at the text message in front of him gloomily and didn't say a word.
Then, he pinched the text message with one hand, and said to Lin Lingyi in front of him, "You should also know that An Chen is still alive." β
Lin Ling, a genius of the Lin family, nodded and said, "It's a pity that I didn't participate in the hunt for An Chen at that time, otherwise I would have poisoned An Chen directly, so that he would not have escaped at all." β
Lin Chengfeng nodded appreciatively and said, "It's okay, do you know why I called you this time?"
"Is it for the competition in half a year?"
"That's right. I want you to prepare well and scrap An Chen at the competition in half a year. β
"Competition...... Lin Ling smiled, "No problem! When the time comes, I'll let him know who the real pride is. β
......
In the courtyard of the Li family, Li Ze also had a straight face and didn't say a word.
After a while, he muttered, "It's a good home, and the method of sowing discord is very smooth." deliberately didn't trouble my Li family and the Lin family, so as to make the Wang family unhappy because of this matter, it's really a difficult character. β
"Li Anmo, come here. Li Ze shouted towards a room.
In the room, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy walked out and looked at Li Ze respectfully, "Patriarch, I'm here." β
"Half a year later, you should prepare for the competition. β
......
In the Wang family's mansion, Wang Mo thought for a long time and said to the elders of the Wang family below, "From today on, our Wang family will no longer target the An family, and will no longer form an alliance with the Lin family and the Li family.
"Patriarch, you have to think twice! This is obviously the situation of the An family! Deliberately targeting us is to make us withdraw from the alliance with the Lin family and the Li family. β
"Of course I know that this is a deliberate game by An Zhen. It's just that you can't look at things from the immediate perspective. My instinct tells me that we were all wrong before, and it wasn't easy to settle down. It's not good for us to target them, like the Lu family, no one will help, and standing by is the best choice. Do you understand everything?"
"Understood!"
"Remember what the patriarch said!"
Time flies, and half a year has passed since An Chen punished Wang Shi at the door of Wang's house. Gradually, the people in White Town stopped talking about it, because there was something more important about to happen in comparisonβthe competition was about to begin.
Every year, 13 and a half years old children are involved in the competition, with the aim of testing what the children have learned in the year and a half since they awakened their talents. In the competition, the children of each family will take turns to compete and finally choose the strongest person in the competition. Over the years, almost all of the strongest people have been in the five major families. Among the five major families, the Lin family occupies the most times.
In the An family's mansion, An Zhen made a cup of tea, and when he was about to serve it to An Chen, An Chen walked out of the room by himself.
"Dad, tomorrow is the meeting, right?"
"You kid remembers! I was just about to go in and remind you. β
"That's right, you can tell me about some of the things that need to be paid attention to in this competition, I don't know very well. An Chen asked.
An Zhen nodded, "Let me ask you, do you know why the object of the competition is just a thirteen and a half year old, and not a younger person or an older person?"
An Chen shook his head, indeed confused by this. Why no more, no less, exactly 13 and a half years old?
"That's because I told you before, children with innate high talents can almost reach the apprentice-level magician within a year and a half of awakening their talents, and those who only have four or five levels of talent are basically impossible to reach the apprentice-level magician in a year and a half. Under normal circumstances, an apprentice-level magician can easily kill a child who has not yet reached the apprentice level magician. Therefore, this is also the reason why the five major families can almost occupy an absolute advantage in the competition. β
An Chen opened his mouth wide and said, "Why is the time of this competition also set by the five major families, is the power of the five major families in Baizhen so strong?"
An Zhen nodded, his eyes revealing a sense of pride, "Of course." Because there were only five fourth-level magicians in the entire White Town, that is, the respective patriarchs of the five major families. That's why other families are so afraid of us. β
Speaking of this, An Zhen rolled his eyes and asked with a little worry, "But, Chen'er, haven't you reached the apprentice level magician yet?"
An Chen spared his head in embarrassment and replied, "It's coming, it's coming." β
After hearing An Chen's answer, An Zhen hesitated slightly, but still said, "Chen'er, if I don't give you a reason for this competition, you won't participate." After all, it is generally impossible for someone who has not yet reached the apprentice-level magician to defeat an apprentice-level magician, and I am afraid that the Lin family will target you......"
Before An Chen could answer, Su Wanting's voice came from outside the room, "Uncle, don't treat An Chen as an ordinary person." β
