I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 165 - 112: The Number 105 (Seeking Subscriptions)

Duke Jingye Mansion.

Zhou Tiance, who had not shown his face for a long time, looked even more aged. Although dressed in fine clothes, his figure was more hunched and emaciated, almost skin and bones.

"Cough, the second son of the Chen Family’s strength has grown so much already?"

With a pair of cloudy eyes, he stared at the old butler Chen Ke, his voice hoarse and aged.

Chen Ke bowed his head, "Yes."

Bang!

Zhou Tiance threw a teacup and looked at him with a cold expression, asking:

"Are you satisfied now?"

Chen Ke still bowed his head, silent.

Zhou Tiance watched him for a long time before asking: "How is Yuan Er doing?"

"I visited once before, Mr. Yuan has now inherited the Absolute Saber, his strength is extraordinary."

"How does he compare to that beast?"

"..."

Chen Ke closed his mouth again.

He was inclined to say that Chen Yuan was not inferior, but he knew that the current strength of Chen Yi was immeasurable.

Unless he took action himself, even Zhou Tiance the Marquis would die at Chen Yi’s hands.

Although Chen Ke could not understand how Chen Yi managed to cultivate his Sword Dao to the Sword-Heart Enlightenment Realm at the fourth-grade Spirit Aperture Realm.

But this did not hinder his judgement of Chen Yi’s strength—combining the two, that "Little Sword Immortal" was at least on par with the Second Grade Divine Travel Realm.

And not just an ordinary Second Grade Realm, but the upper stage of the Second Grade.

One must know, from the published record on the "Heavenly Pride List·Earthly List," Hao Songqing was still enhanced by the "Divine Descent Technique" at the time, his strength comparable to the upper stage of the third rank.

Thus, one can deduce Chen Yi’s current strength.

"Hmph!"

Zhou Tiance snorted coldly, looking at him ominously, then slowly turned to look outside the pavilion.

After a while, his expression softened, and he asked indifferently: "Are those scouts from the Wuan Army still watching?"

"Yes," Chen Ke bowed and said, "Aside from the fifteen we found earlier, nearly a hundred more have been added recently."

"Despicable!"

Zhou Tiance furrowed his brows tightly, murderous intent filling his cloudy eyes.

"If I knew today, I should have killed him directly back then!"

Chen Ke knew he was referring to Chen Yi and remained silent.

He clearly understood that what the Old Marquis said was true.

Had Zhou Tiance not wanted to avoid extreme measures, he would not have missed the opportunity time and time again, leading to the situation today.

"Find some time to give the ’Hidden Dragon’ to Yuan Er."

"Now?"

Chen Ke was startled, then advised: "My lord, Mr. Yuan is currently preparing for the upcoming grand event in Wuliang Mountain, I’m afraid he cannot afford to be distracted."

Zhou Tiance, with his back to him, waved his hand: "Let him get familiar with it first, let the ’Hidden Dragon Seed’ there assist him."

"It’s been so long, those people have grown up, enough to help him do some things."

"Yes."

Chen Ke dared not persuade any further.

"Keep an eye on that little beast too," Zhou Tiance nodded: "I want to know his every move. If necessary, seek out the people from the Four Directions Building to investigate."

Chen Ke’s eyes flickered, nodding: "I will arrange it shortly."

He did not understand why they still needed to pay attention to Chen Yi now.

With the strength that Chen Yi has shown, no one under the entire Duke Jingye Mansion or the "Hidden Dragon" could be his match.

Could it be...

Before he could ponder further, Zhou Tiance spoke again: "The next focus is on the Lu Family, we cannot afford any more mishaps there!"

"My lord, Jizhou Prefecture has sent a message that the Lu Family is already alert, if our plan continues, it might expose the whereabouts of the ’Hidden Dragon’."

"Exposed?" Zhou Tiance chuckled coldly a few times, "Given the current situation, how much longer do you think we can hide?"

"Not to mention Marquis Chen Taiping from the Wuan Army who has been watching all along, even the Holy Emperor, I’m afraid, has noticed."

Chen Ke frowned slightly, "If the Holy Emperor knows, why has he not taken action?"

Zhou Tiance coughed and turned around, slowly walking outside the pavilion.

"When you have absolute power, you likewise will not care about what the people below you do or think."

"You only care if the result is as you expected, and you won’t bother about the life and death of those people."

"After all, an ant is still an ant, no matter how much it jumps."

Chen Ke respectfully bowed and waited until Zhou Tiance was far away before standing up and looking at the stooped figure.

For some reason, he faintly sensed that the Old Marquis was somewhat abnormal.

Especially when mentioning the "Holy Emperor".

Zhou Tiance’s rage used to be directed only at Duke Wuan or his blood descendants.

But this time was different—he heard a note of disrespect towards that supreme figure from the Old Marquis for the first time.

Chen Ke shook his head and turned to walk out of the Marquis Mansion.

"I hope I’m overthinking it..."

...

After the start of spring, the weather on Wuliang Mountain became much warmer, no more bone-chilling winds, everywhere was warm, which also greatly improved Chen Yuan’s mood.

But compared to the news of Chen Yi’s improved strength, the weather seemed trivial.

Chen Yuan looked at the "Heavenly Pride List·Earthly List" in his hand, tracing his fingers over the portrait of Chen Yi on the first page, and couldn’t help but smile.

"Grown a lot taller, but not as tall as me."

"Handsome, very handsome, almost catching up to me."

"This figure wielding a sword is also quite elegant, hmm, not as imposing as my saber technique."

After comparing overall, Chen Yuan came to a conclusion with a broad smile—

Except for strength, he overshadowed Chen Yi in every aspect.

"Hehe, I wonder if my little brother will feel ashamed when he sees my magnificent presence on the ’Heavenly Pride List’?"

Chen Yuan was in a rare good mood.

That wasn’t exactly accurate.

In fact, when he was alone, especially when Yan Hai was not around, his mood was always good.

Even when he was alone in the Sealing Demon Valley, battling demons there, he found ways to entertain himself.

Thinking back to the Capital City, Duke Wuan Mansion, Zhou Wanyi, Chen Taiping, and Chen Yi.

At first, he just wanted to escape loneliness and depression.

Until later, he inadvertently discovered that such a method also effectively prevented the encroachment of the Absolute Blade on his mind, so he kept it up until now.

"The outside is still better."

Chen Yuan rested on the Absolute Blade, his expression unusually relaxed as he watched the clouds in the sky.

Even after leaving the Sealing Demon Valley, he had to face Yan Hai’s harsh criticisms, but he could always get updates on Chen Yi.

Those pleasant updates made him keenly feel the influence of the Absolute Saber Inheritance gradually peeling away.

"How much better?"

Just then, Yan Hai’s cold voice came.

Chen Yuan sat up and calmly looked at him, "The world is vast, and there are many Heavenly Prides. By killing them, I can gain even more."

Having interacted with Yan Hai for so long, he had already figured out the old cripple’s thoughts, knowing what kind of answer would make him more comfortable.

"Really?"

Yan Hai smirked, his expression still severe.

"In that case, why are you lying down instead of practicing the Absolute Blade?"

"Disciple will train now!"

Chen Yuan did not explain; he picked up the Wan Jun Saber and began the second round of cultivation.

"Stop."

Yan Hai watched for a moment, still unable to find any evidence of abnormalities with the Absolute Blade on him, and his face showed a hint of a smile.

"Yes."

Chen Yuan did as he was told.

"Master doesn’t have much time and will soon head to a battlefield. There are a few things I need to tell you."

"Please speak, Master."

Chen Yuan’s eyes flickered briefly, but he dared not show any hint of difference.

Is Master going to leave? That’s great!

"First, you must achieve a top-ten ranking at the Wei Dynasty’s grand event, and the same goes for the upcoming event in Tianyuan Continent."

Yan Hai sneered, "Although I’d like you to claim first place, with your current strength, such a requirement is akin to sending you to your death."

Chen Yuan bared his teeth and naturally agreed again and again.

If he really were to vie for first place, he wouldn’t even be able to overcome his second brother, let alone other Heavenly Prides.

"Second, I need you to make a trip to the Southern Barbarians."

Seeing that Chen Yuan did not ask further, Yan Hai continued, "Go to the Southern Barbarians and find an Earth Monk named Bitter Monk."

"No matter what method you use, kill him!"

Chen Yuan nodded, still without asking further.

"Don’t you want to know why?"

"Whatever Master says, the disciple will do."

Yan Hai smirked, his expression ferocious, "Good disciple, I’m becoming more and more satisfied with you!"

"..."

Chen Yuan smiled, not really!

...

Compared to the outside world, the atmosphere on Sword Edge Mountain at this moment was filled with joy.

Hua Youxiang, waving that volume of "Heavenly Pride List·Earthly List," was jumping up and down without a trace of a ladylike image.

Even with her appearance akin to Hua Fairy and Hua Yourong, to outsiders, she did not seem as beautiful as her other two sisters.

It’s not that she was unattractive; her personality made it hard to judge.

After all, against the backdrop of the "Ten Taoist Immortals," many female Taoists with both excellent figures and looks became inferior.

However, Chen Yi quite liked this junior sister, Hua.

Not out of romantic love, but because he thought she was genuine, possessing a spiritual aura that disciples who had been in the sect for many years lacked.

Like now, she would not be able to smile like Hua Youxiang if she were Mr. Ning.

Oh, almost forgot.

Besides Hua Youxiang, there is also another female hero on Sword Edge Mountain—Li Mingyue.

After learning that Chen Yi had returned to the "Heavenly Pride List·Earthly List," she also indignantly said:

"Let’s see if the fellow disciples from other peaks dare to speak ill of Brother Chen."

"They really made me angry before."

"Exactly."

Hua Youxiang echoed nearby, even with a bit of a provocative tone.

"If it wasn’t for Master forbidding it, I would have asked Brother Chen to challenge them on the other peaks."

"I was thinking the same..."

Ning Xue helplessly watched them, thinking to herself that these two were not afraid of stirring up trouble.

"You two go practice your swordsmanship, especially junior sister, Hua. The sect will have arrangements for you soon."

"Oh."

Hua Youxiang still wanted to continue defending Chen Yi but had to drag Li Mingyue to the Martial Arts Arena.

"They are really... lively."

Xie Changle watched the backs of the junior sisters with a sense of emotion.

"You can be lively too," Ning Xue glanced at him and said with a smile.

"Forget it, I’m an old man now."

Xie Changle replied casually, then looked towards the wing room, pondering, "I wonder what junior brother Chen is doing; he hasn’t come out for a whole day."

"I don’t know either..."

Ning Xue followed his gaze, and her cheeks heated up slightly at the memories of the past few days.

At this moment, Chen Yi was indifferent to the outside chatter.

From the moment he took action and killed Hao Songqing, he anticipated such an outcome.

More than the meaningless names on the "Heavenly Pride List," he was more concerned with the progress of the task of "having no one under heaven who doesn’t recognize him."

[Name: Chen Yi]

[Age: 45]

[Cultivation: Fourth Grade Spirit Aperture Realm (Lower Stage)]

[Talent: Late Bloomer—The older the bone age, the faster the cultivation speed.]

[Rebellion Point: 0/100]

Chen Yi looked at the panel’s joyous data, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"Indeed, moving up on the Heavenly Pride List can increase the task completion progress."
