Overriding the Heaven

1Hearing Chu Yan's words, Li Xiu could not help but raise his head and look at him.    

    

Instantly, he was stunned.    

    

Li Xiu realized that, at this moment, he seemed to be looking at a completely different Chu Yan.    

    

The middle-aged man's eyes were filled with a heaviness he had never seen before.    

    

At this moment, this heaviness seemed to resonate with something deep within his soul.    

    

"We had a similar past!" Li Xiu took a deep breath.    

    

He knew what it was that resonated.    

    

Only a similar past and similar experiences could give rise to an extremely subtle feeling between the two of them.    

    

At this moment, Li Xiu seemed to have understood why when Chu Yan first joined the Spirit Apostle Ranking Competition, he did not hesitate to help the other party when they were in their state of consciousness.    

    

It was not only his appreciation for this disciple, but it also contained a resonance that he had never paid attention to before!    

    

"Family feud." After a long while, Li Xiu exhaled, "But if you want to ask me how this individual mark was carved, I think I won't be able to help you, because at that time, that Inscription master was already dead."    

    

"Yes." Chu Yan nodded his head, "Senior brother, how did you feel at the time, can you tell me about it?"    

    

"You want to draw body prints on your body too?" Li Xiu immediately frowned, and shook his head, "Junior brother, with your current talent and resources, there is no need for you to take such a huge risk. Inscribing the body mark is equivalent to betting your life, and the chance of losing is much less than winning."    

    

"I know that, but I don't have enough time." Chu Yan laughed, "Besides, I don't plan on inscribing body prints all over. As of now, the price I have to pay is too high, so I plan to choose a portion first. After all, right now, my realm is too low, so there are not many ways to raise my strength in a short period of time. I have to think carefully about it.    

    

"Who are you going to get for Vin?" Li Xiu still wanted to persuade Chu Yan a little.    

    

This was because he was someone who had experienced body markings and knew the pain and danger of a purgatory.    

    

"Myself."    

    

"You're crazy!" Without waiting for Chu Yan to finish speaking, Li Xiu cut him off.    

    

At this moment, Li Xiu was looking at Chu Yan with a look of disbelief.    

    

No Inscription master would have this kind of thought if they were inscribing body prints on their own bodies.    

    

This sort of thing was like a blade slicing through one's body, before digging out their internal organs, washing them clean before putting them back together for stitching.    

    

The abilities, mental fortitude, and even physical strength required were not things that could be accomplished by a single person.    

    

No matter how crazy the Inscription master was, she would not inscribe body prints for herself.    

    

"So I'm only going to choose a part of it." Chu Yan laughed, "You have to pay the smallest price in order to achieve the greatest increase in your strength in the short term, and even though I am the one who carved for myself, there will be a person with a great amount of strength to guide me in the art of inscriptions. So, Senior Brother, you can rest easy, without absolute confidence, I will not do it, because I am responsible for my own life."    

    

"Someone taught you how to draw body prints?" Li Xiu frowned, thinking back to Chu Yan's words.    

    

Who would be so crazy to take the initiative to teach Chu Yan, other than Chu Yan, who asked a Inscription master to teach him?    

    

Once he thought about it, Li Xiu's mind suddenly flashed with a white light.    

    

He realized who Chu Yan was looking for and what method he was using.    

    

If that was the case, could it be that he had been plotting against her ever since he received the news?    

    

"You …" Li Xiu was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.    

    

"That's right, so do you think Senior Brother Li is not confident?" Seeing the other party's expression, Chu Yan knew that he had already guessed what his plan was, so he smiled and said, "Therefore, I hope that Senior Brother Li can tell me what happened at that time, so that I can prepare. If that's the case, then you can help me reduce the risk to an even lower level."    

    

"Since that's the case —" Li Xiu nodded, "Alright."    

    

When Chu Yan walked out of Li Xiu's room, in his heart, he was seventy percent confident that he could inscribe body prints.    

    

The reason why he was not a hundred percent sure was because, after hearing Li Xiu's narration, Chu Yan finally understood clearly that the body imprint was actually ten times more dangerous than he had imagined.    

    

Countless small possibilities happened at the same time. Only then would it be possible to succeed in drawing the body mark this time.    

    

This is only a possibility of success.    

    

"Fortunately, I only plan on drawing a portion of the body print this time. Hopefully, it will be a bit bigger, but time is indeed a bit tight." Chu Yan calculated the time in his heart.    

    

It was now the middle of August and he had promised Shen Qing that he would pay a visit to her family on her birthday.    

    

"We have to start preparing." Chu Yan looked into the sky and muttered.    

    

Every day, he felt that he didn't have enough time.    

    

That night, Chu Yan went to find Luo Shanhe.    

    

Regarding Chu Yan's arrival, although Luo Shanhe expressed doubt, he still welcomed him.    

    

After all, Luo Shanhe still greatly admired Chu Yan, and since Luo Shanhe had his own information channels, he had already heard some rumors. Although Chu Yan was not accepted by Tang Liang as his disciple, he actually had another fortuitous opportunity.    

    

If such a disciple could be befriended while still an acolyte, it would be of great help in the future.    

    

Therefore, regardless of whether it was from his heart or from a practical point of view, Luo Shanhe welcomed Chu Yan's actions and asked him about his purpose in finding him.    

    

Indeed, Chu Yan had something that he needed Luo Shanhe's help with today, so he did not beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose for coming.    

    

"You want to receive the rewards from the Elder's Courtyard for announcing this mission?" When Luo Shanhe heard it, he immediately understood the meaning behind Chu Yan's words. His eyes lit up: "You win against Li Xiu?"    

    

"Yes, we used our own methods to determine the victor." Chu Yan nodded his head, "Senior Li has already explained the entire process to the elder's courtyard, and has obtained the approval of the elder's courtyard, but it has already been a few days, I have not received the promised reward, so I wanted to ask Pavilion Master Luo to help me with it."    

    

"It's likely that no one dares to withhold the elder's mission." Luo Shanhe knew about the competition between Chu Yan and Mei Yunhe a while back, so he comforted him, "Are you in a hurry to get your rewards?"    

    

"Yes, it is indeed urgent." Chu Yan nodded his head, "In a few days I will have to leave the sect's territory for a period of time, I'm afraid that at that time I won't be able to make it."    

    

"I see. Alright." Luo Shanhe replied, "I remember the mission of the Elder Hall back then was for you to defeat Su Jianyuan and Li Xiu within three months. Defeating Su Jianyuan would allow you to obtain a high level, sharp Soft Phosphorous Armor, fifty spirit stones, and a Qi Gathering Pills. You have already obtained these rewards.    

    

As for the reward for defeating Li Xiu, that would allow me to ask any one of the eighteen sky-high s for two hours, right? "    

    

"Yes." Chu Yan nodded his head, "Other than the Qi Gathering Pills, I have already used the other rewards."    

    

"Yes." At the same time, Luo Shanhe wrote Message Talisman for Chu Yan to urge for a reward, and casually asked, "Then for the reward for defeating Li Xiu, ask a sky-high for guidance for an hour, have you already decided on who to ask?"
