Chapter 317: Chapter 41: Rising Stronger Against Stronger Opponents

Shadow Tower.

"I heard the Poison Hand has arrived."

"Not just the Poison Hand; the Smoke Demon and the Shadow have also taken action."

"With these three top experts from the Dark Ranking gathered, this person is surely doomed."

News spread quickly in Qianzhu City. Not long after the action started, the Shadow Tower had already received the information, and the hermits in the hall whispered among themselves.

Ye Yushi sat quietly on the side, listening to the discussions around her in silence.

Every day when Chen Tang went out, she would come to the hall and wait, as if it had become a habit.

At this moment, Blacksmith Feng entered, carrying a package, and placed it on the counter, saying, "It’s over."

Immediately, countless gazes turned in this direction.

"Congratulations, Old Feng."

Liu Shou smiled and said, "Since this armor has become ownerless, you can justifiably claim it."

Blacksmith Feng clicked his tongue, rolled his eyes, and said, "Of the three on the Dark Ranking, two are dead and one is injured. That kid is like a beast, lively and unharmed. I brought this armor for him."

Liu Shou’s mouth opened slightly, and he was dumbfounded.

Ye Yushi’s lips pressed slightly together, a slight smile flickering in her eyes.

"Impossible."

"Even the three top experts on the Dark Ranking couldn’t kill him?"

"Isn’t this person a Fifth Grade Martial Artist? Why is he so hard to kill?"

The hermits in the hall found it hard to believe, erupting in waves of sound.

For this one Fifth Grade Martial Artist, how many hermits have died in Qianzhu City over the past ten days?

The Dongyi Race moved here, never having suffered such significant losses and setbacks!

Even the three top experts on the Dark Ranking failed and died. Who else can kill him?

Does it really require the top ten Middle Concealments or even the Ghost Concealment from the Dark Ranking to take action?

Lady Yun asked, "Who among the three on the Dark Ranking died?"

"The Poison Hand and the Demon."

Blacksmith Feng said, "The Demon was beheaded in his smoke by that kid face-to-face. The Poison Hand had his flaw seen through, and his true body was found, concluded with a single slash. Only the Shadow escaped using the Earth Escape Technique, injured."

"Ah!"

A light exclamation came from the hall.

"Even the true body of the Poison Hand was discovered?" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Is the Poison Hand a man or a woman, and what do they look like?"

Several hermits urgently inquired.

Blacksmith Feng pursed his lips and said, "Those curious enough to look all died there, the Poison Hand’s body turning to ashes, leaving no one knowing their true appearance."

"Ha! That kid is incredibly smart, hiding far away early on, not even touching the Poison Hand’s corpse."

Lady Yun snorted softly, "In these ten days, he’s learned. If it was at the beginning, he’d surely go over to check the body immediately."

Liu Shou couldn’t help but ask, "What exactly is Chen Tang’s strength?"

Lady Yun glanced at the black stone slab behind her, saying, "Change it to Purgatory."

Liu Shou’s heart tightened.

Purgatory, the highest level of task difficulty!

This means there are two Purgatory-level bounty tasks in Qianzhu City.

Of course, he understood Lady Yun’s intention.

Raising the task to the level of Purgatory can deter most hermits, avoiding unnecessary casualties.

Lady Yun thought for a moment, then added, "Additionally, add a note after his realm, saying... grows stronger when faced with strength, power unknown."

Soon after, Chen Tang returned with a delicious roast goose.

Seeing Ye Yushi sitting in the hall, Chen Tang smiled.

Every time he returned, Chen Tang would greet her first.

Ye Yushi nodded slightly in response.

"For you."

Blacksmith Feng raised his hand and threw the package from the counter over.

Chen Tang felt a surge of joy.

This old man, despite his little schemes and desire for his death to claim the Flood Dragon Skin, kept his word and actually made the Flood Dragon Armor for him.

Moreover, he didn’t delay, saying ten days and doing it in ten days.

Blacksmith Feng said, "That bow will be crafted in about another ten days."

"Thank you for your effort."

Chen Tang took out two Hidden Coins, inviting Blacksmith Feng for a drink on the spot.

"You’re on the right track."

Blacksmith Feng chuckled.

Chen Tang carried the package with one hand and the roast goose with the other, heading upstairs with Ye Yushi.

In the room, Chen Tang eagerly opened the package, revealing a rather exquisite and small armor inside.

To be precise, it looked more like Inner Armor and was much smaller than Chen Tang’s upper body, more suited for a child.

Blacksmith Feng had mentioned before.

The Flood Dragon Skin had mostly been burned, and the intact part was small, just barely enough to make some inner armor covering the torso.

Chen Tang took off his shirt and tried to put on the inner armor over his head.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly small inner armor slid on smoothly.

And it quickly stretched to fit Chen Tang’s body, with the Dragon Scales unfolding seamlessly, the inner armor closely hugging his skin without any tightness, as if it wasn’t there.

Chen Tang showed a joyful expression.

This inner armor, after all, was made from Flood Dragon Skin. That Juvenile Flood Dragon could easily swallow over a dozen people in one meal, its body swelling roundly without any effect.

This inner armor inherited the stretch and resilience of Flood Dragon Skin, aligning with the skin, adaptable in size.

With this Juvenile Flood Dragon Inner Armor, Chen Tang’s combat power would rise another level.

Facing a pursuit by numerous hermits like the first night again, he could avoid many injuries and better protect himself.

After having lunch with Ye Yushi, Chen Tang returned to his room to rest.

Chen Tang cultivated the Giant Demon Breathing Technique in his room.

During this period, he wanted to progress further, reaching the Fifth Grade Extreme Realm but couldn’t find the method.

Early the next morning, Chen Tang got up, once again taking his blade and heading towards the harbor.

After yesterday’s battle, all the hermits in Qianzhu City knew that Chen Tang’s task had been elevated to the Purgatory level!

The bounty still remained fifty thousand.

The gap between reward and risk was huge.

Even experts from the Dark Ranking would not easily take the risk.

Chen Tang departed from the Shadow Tower, walking all the way to the harbor, surrounded by bustling crowds, yet with no disturbances.

Ten days of slaughter indeed had a massive intimidating effect on the hermits of Qianzhu City.

Chen Tang met a fortune-telling blind man, tossing a Hidden Coin, receiving a ’Lucky’ character in return.

Chen Tang felt more reassured.

The Shen family’s cargo ship was still docked at the harbor, and in about ten days, when the weapons were forged, the Shen family’s cargo ship would set sail.

These days, Shen Yu and others had heard about what transpired in Qianzhu City.

Chen Tang’s methods had far exceeded their imagination.

With his own strength, he subdued a city’s hermits!

When the Shen family servants saw Chen Tang by the sea, they hurried to inform Shen Yu.

Shen Yu, not even dressed properly, rushed out, standing on the deck waving and greeting Chen Tang.

Chen Tang smiled back, slightly cupping his hands, and then, to the astonishment of all, walked steadily into the sea.

In an instant, the seawater submerged his head, and Chen Tang’s figure vanished into the East Sea.

"Is he that out of sorts, choosing to jump into the sea and end it all?"

Brother Yin hesitated and asked.

Xiao Pu also seemed puzzled, glancing towards Qianzhu City and saying, "No one’s chasing him."

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Shen Yu couldn’t help but laugh and cry, saying, "Brother Chen surely has his reasons for this."
