Everybody fell silent. Meng Dajiang and Liu Yebai stared at Meng Chuan blankly, speechless.

A 16-year-old had comprehended the Force? A legendary genius was right in front of them?
Five patrolling guards also rushed to the small courtyard. They had also heard the wall collapsing, but their speed was clearly much slower than Meng Dajiangâs and Liu Yebaiâs.
âMaster,â said all five guards respectfully. The guard captain looked at the collapsed wall and couldnât help but say, âThis wall…â
âI was sparring with Chuanâer and accidentally damaged it.â Meng Dajiang returned to his senses and immediately instructed, âArrange for someone to mend the walls tomorrow morning. Hurry up and leave.â
âYes.â
The five guards bowed respectfully and left. At the same time, they were rather perplexed. To destroy a wall in a sparring match? Master and Young Master sure are good at causing trouble.
Silence returned to the courtyard again. Meng Dajiang and Liu Yebai continued to stare at Meng Chuan.
âDad, Uncle Liu.â Meng Chuan couldnât help but say, âThe two of you…â
âDajiang, your son is extraordinary,â Liu Yebai whispered. âHe figured out Force at the age of sixteen. Heavens, entering Archean Mountain is almost a certainty. If I had such a powerful son, I would wake up from my dreams in laughter!â
At this moment, Meng Dajiang suddenly thought of many things. His wife had instructed him to teach Meng Chuan personally while he practiced the saber. He had taught him every day since he was young, and the young Meng Chuan had trained seriously as well. His foundation was very solid, and he had taken one step at a time. When he was fifteen, he finally began to shine.
He had become the most outstanding member of the five Godfiend family clans.
At the age of sixteen, he had comprehended Force. This put him at the top of Eastcalm Prefecture.
Meng Dajiangâs eyes couldnât help but redden. He knew very well how hardworking his son was. He smiled, and his eyes turned moist. âVery good, very good.â
âThatâs all you can say?â Liu Yebai asked.
âDad.â Meng Chuan looked at his father as well. He had been diligent in his cultivation. Apart from his oath to become a Godfiend to slay demons, he also wanted his father to feel proud. As a son, making his father proud was one of his desires.
Meng Dajiang smiled and immediately took out a flare. He triggered it, and the flare shot into the sky. It was very eye-catching in the dark.
…
The Meng family ancestral mansion.
âOh?â Fairy Meng walked out of her building with her walking stick. She stared at the flare in the distant sky. She had personally given the distress flare to Meng Dajiang. It had her Quintessential Essence branding in it, allowing her to sense it once it was activated within fifty kilometers.
âWhy would Dajiang suddenly request for help?â Although Fairy Meng was puzzled, she vanished from the yard.
…
In about half a minute, Fairy Meng arrived at Mirror Lake Meng Manor. She came to the small courtyard and saw the collapsed wall. She saw the father and son duo, as well as Liu Yebai.
âWhat happened?â Fairy Meng looked at the collapsed wall and felt a little puzzled. âDajiang, you donât seem to be suffering any injuries. Why did you suddenly request for help?â
She had only given only five people the distress flares; two people were Meng Chuan and Meng Dajiang.
âAunt.â Meng Dajiangâs face was filled with uncontrollable joy. He whispered, âChuanâer has figured out Saber Force.â
Fairy Meng was stunned for a moment before her eyes lit up. She looked at Meng Chuan and asked, âYou have figured out Saber Force?â
âYes, Grandaunt,â said Meng Chuan respectfully.
âCan you show it to me?â asked Fairy Meng.
Meng Chuan nodded his head and struck out with his palm. With the fusion of Saber Force, his Quintessential Energy cleaved out from his palm. A blurry saber beam that spanned ten feet in length sliced through the ground.
âQuintessential Energy Release.â Fairy Mengâs body trembled as she watched. Her eyes filled with excitement as she mumbled, âGreat, great! Wonderful, just wonderful.â
Quintessential Energy was formless in the first place, so it couldnât leave the body without a medium. But once Force guided it, it would be like a gentle stream of water forming a sharp âsaber,â causing a qualitative change.
More potential could be excavated if the body was fused with Saber Force.
Fairy Meng put down her walking stick and closed her eyes, muttering softly. âThe ancestors have blessed us.â
Meng Chuan, Meng Dajiang, and Liu Yebai fell silent. They didnât disturb Fairy Meng.
âMeng Chuan.â Fairy Meng opened her eyes and sat down on a stone bench. She smiled and said, âCome, have a seat.â
Meng Chuan sat down on the stone bench obediently.
Fairy Meng looked at Meng Chuan, her eyes filled with love. She said with a smile, âI wasnât wrong about you. You figured out the Force at the age of sixteen. Even in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you will be considered a genius. As long as you donât slack off for the next few years, you will definitely be able to enter Archean Mountain.â
âI definitely wonât slack off,â said Meng Chuan immediately.
âHowever, donât be too proud. You must understand that thereâs always someone better than you!â Fairy Meng said with a smile. âFor example, the Fifth Young Master of King Calm Seaâs family. He is famous throughout the world. He reached the Unity realm at the age of ten. He comprehended Force at the age of thirteen and became a Godfiend when he was fifteen. Even the demons were afraid of his talent and offered a bounty for his assassination. Archean Mountain also placed great importance on him. When Fifth Young Master comprehended Force at the age of thirteen, he was immediately recruited into Archean Mountain.â
âIâve read many Godfiend biographies.â Meng Chuan nodded. âBut compared to those invincible Godfiends who left their names in history, my talent is ordinary. I wonât be proud.â
âHaha, good ambition. You actually compare yourself to those powerful Godfiends who left their names in history,â said Fairy Meng with a smile. âItâs good to have ambition, but itâs best to keep the news about you comprehending Force a secret for now. Letâs wait until next year to announce it. It will be much less shocking for a seventeen-year-old to comprehend Force.â
âUnderstood.â Meng Chuan nodded.
To comprehend Force at the age of sixteen made him a genius even in the capital. To comprehend Force at seventeen-years-old would make him more inferior. He could still be considered a genius in a prefectureâcomparable to Patriarch Zhang.
If he only comprehended Force when he was eighteen or nineteen? It was already a question whether he could enter Archean Mountain or not. If he had comprehended Force when he was twenty years old? He would be at the level of Mei Yuanzhiâbarely qualified to participate in the entrance examinationâthe chances of entering Archean Mountain were really slim.
âFrom today onwards, I will be staying here,â said Fairy Meng with a smile. âI will often come to train Chuanâer.â
âAunt, your body…â Meng Dajiang was a little worried.
âDonât worry. Sparring with you wouldnât aggravate my injuries.â Fairy Meng smiled.
âThank you, Grandaunt,â said Meng Chuan respectfully.
Fairy Meng glanced at Liu Yebai beside her and said, âLiu Yebai, you must keep Meng Chuanâs matter a secret.â
âI can vouch for Yebai with my life,â Meng Dajiang said.
âFairy, donât worry. I watched Chuanâer grow up. Heâs like my own child. It will naturally be kept a secret,â said Liu Yebai.
Only then did Fairy Meng nod.
…
Days passed.
Meng Chuan continued to cultivate hard. True experts never stopped climbing higher. Decades were like days.
Seven days after Meng Chuan comprehended Force.
âHmm, I sure had a good time eating.â Liu Qiyue was very pleased as she strolled around with Meng Chuan at night.
âIt was my treat. How could you not be happy?â Meng Chuan pouted.
âWhatâs wrong with you, great Young Master Meng? Are two meals too much for you?â Liu Qiyue harrumphed.
âMy familyâs Cloud River Restaurant is the number one restaurant in Eastcalm Prefecture. Yet, you refused to eat there and chose other restaurants. I had to spend a lot of money at those restaurants.â
âNo matter how delicious the Cloud River Restaurant is, you canât always eat at that one restaurant, right?â Liu Qiyue said, âAlright, alright. Iâll treat you tomorrow. Will that do?â
âThatâs more like it,â Meng Chuan said in satisfaction. Suddenly, his eyebrows rose, and he stared into the distance.
âWhatâs wrong?â Liu Qiyue was puzzled.
âQiyue, you head back first. I saw a friend,â said Meng Chuan. âIâll be back later.â
âOh, sure. Donât stay out too late.â Liu Qiyue nodded and left.
Meng Chuan looked into the distance. He could sense all life aura within half a kilometer. About a quarter kilometer away, he could sense two vicious and bloody auras. These auras were stained with many lives! Meng Chuan had once scrutinized the hands of an executioner. Even the bloody aura on those hands wasnât as thick as these two auras.
This sort of bloody aura seemed to be filled with the screams of countless living beings. It was extremely unique in his senses, making him feel even more disgusted.
How many people have they killed to have such bloody auras? But these two auras arenât too strong.
Meng Chuan strode forward.
He soon arrived outside a brothel.
Azure Cloud Brothel? Meng Chuan stared at the brothel in front of him. The lights inside were splendid, and there were many people inside. There was also pleasant laughter from women. Many wealthy businessmen were being led inside.
This is my first time entering a brothel. Meng Chuan walked in.
âYoung Master, please,â the gigolo at the door said obsequiously.
Suddenly, the old procuressâs eyes widened. âYoung Master Meng?â
âYoung Master Meng?â Immediately, some of the brothel girls who were soliciting the guests turned their heads and saw Meng Chuan walking in.
âItâs Young Master Meng Chuan?â The atmosphere in the brothel instantly boiled. The women in the brothels were all infatuated with him as they passionately approached him.
