Chapter 228: Chapter 229: Entering the Punishment Hall (4th Update) (Please Favorite, Reward, and Recommend)

"Indeed, with you bunch of country bumpkins, there’s no need for Chu to hide."

A proud laugh rang out as Chu Fengmian strode out of the palace.

"Master."

Seeing Chu Fengmian emerge, Elder Chen respectfully uttered a word on the side, and at the same time he glanced at Chu Fengmian and saw that his realm had incredibly risen overnight from the first level of the Divine Sea Realm to the peak of the Divine Sea Realm.

This kind of speed was unheard of and unprecedented for Chen; a martial artist had actually improved so much in one night.

"Your realm?"

"Last night, I made a breakthrough."

Chu Fengmian replied with a smile, his voice steady.

"A breakthrough..."

Upon hearing these four words, Elder Chen’s mouth twitched involuntarily. How could such a huge leap overnight from the first level of the Divine Sea Realm to the peak even be described as a "breakthrough"?

"And your strength?"

Elder Chen asked cautiously, that being what concerned him the most at the moment.

Just yesterday, Chu Fengmian, at the first level of the Divine Sea Realm, had slain over thirty disciples of the Chu family who were at the Wind Riding Realm.

Chu Hongsha, with his strength at the seventh level of Wind Riding Realm, was not even able to withstand a single move from Chu Fengmian and was killed with one strike.

Now that Chu Fengmian’s realm had advanced, just how terrifying would his strength turn out to be?

"At least, all these people before me can be wiped out within three moves."

Chu Fengmian pondered for a moment, looked up at the sky, and spoke.

The casual remark from Chu Fengmian set off a tumult in Elder Chen’s heart.

All these people before them, wiped out within three moves?

The current disciples from the Punishment Hall, with Cheng Wu leading them, was a Supreme Elder of the Punishment Hall with a strength at the peak of the Wind Riding Realm.

Even Zhi Lingtian wouldn’t dare claim he could defeat him within three moves; could it be that Chu Fengmian’s strength had now surpassed even Zhi Lingtian’s?

Although it seemed unbelievable, Elder Chen, deep down, knew Chu Fengmian wasn’t lying.

He had witnessed Chu Fengmian, with a realm of Divine Sea Realm level one, kill Chu Hongsha of the Wind Riding Realm level seven, in a single strike.

If Chu Fengmian’s strength had yet another breakthrough, killing Cheng Wu indeed might be within the realm of possibility.

Chu Fengmian’s mention of strength was actually somewhat understated because he didn’t include the situation with the Abundance Stele in his three-move statement.

The Abundance Stele was, after all, Chu Fengmian’s trump card, not something he could use regularly, but once he deployed it...

Chu Fengmian was confident that he could obliterate Cheng Wu before him in a single move.

The strength of Cheng Wu was at best on par with Cheng Tiangong and Chu Ning; neither of them could withstand a blow from the Abundance Stele.

Cheng Wu would be no different.

"Chu Fengmian, you really did come out! It seems you haven’t tarnished the reputation of your master, the Saint of Xuanbei, and don’t want to be a coward."

Seeing Chu Fengmian emerge, Cheng Wu’s face showed a look of supreme fury.

"Chu Fengmian, today I am following the order of the Punishment Hall to capture you and bring you back for trial. You might as well come out and take your punishment."

"You have violated the academy’s rules, and now you should come back with us to the Punishment Hall to accept your punishment!"

"Master, there’s no need to pay them any mind."

Seeing Cheng Wu speak, Elder Chen said in a low voice,

"In this northern hall, they won’t dare to do anything to you."

"No, I need to go out."

A cold smile appeared on Chu Fengmian’s face.

"Elder Chen, these people are right. If one hides at the first sign of trouble, like a turtle retracting its head, then what’s the point of practicing martial arts? Today, I am going out to see just what these tribunal elders can do to me."

"Elder Chen, you stay here and heal in peace; I will return shortly."

Chu Fengmian laughed out loud and with a single step, he transformed into a streak of escaping light, instantly appearing outside the northern hall.

Cheng Wu was taken aback to see Chu Fengmian voluntarily come out, never expecting Chu Fengmian to cooperate to such an extent.

"Chu Fengmian, you actually came out. Good, follow us back to the tribunal chamber."

"Men, seize this boy and take him back to the tribunal chamber!"

Cheng Wu bellowed angrily. Immediately, several tribunal elders surrounded them, intending to use prohibitions to capture Chu Fengmian.

"Scram!"

Chu Fengmian’s eyes turned icy as he spat out a single word.

The sound wave of just that one word forced the numerous tribunal elders surrounding him to retreat.

These tribunal elders, all possessing the strength of about the second level of the Wind-riding Realm, were compelled to fall back at the utterance of Chu Fengmian’s single word.

The ones closest to Chu Fengmian spat out mouthfuls of fresh blood.

Chu Fengmian’s current words were not something ordinary Wind-riding Realm martial artists could withstand.

Chu Fengmian, now when he spoke, every word was a Dragon Roar.

The tiger’s roar can shake the forest; a single roar is enough to tremble a martial artist’s soul. And the Dragon Roar of an ancient battle dragon is even more potent, capable of shaking a martial artist below the level of Spirit Sea Realm to death.

These Wind-riding Realm tribunal elders, one by one, were shocked to the point of vomiting blood.

"I might have come out, but that does not mean Chu admits any guilt. Since the tribunal wants to see me, I shall visit the tribunal chamber. But think of capturing me? Dream on."

Chu Fengmian snorted coldly and turned into a streak of escaping light, flying towards the direction of the tribunal chamber.

His decision to come out was precisely to see how the tribunal chamber would deal with him.

"You..."

The few tribunal elders who had been shaken and injured wanted to say something but were stopped by Cheng Wu next to them.

"Don’t worry, once the kid gets to the tribunal chamber, we can torment him however we want. Even if he is a dragon, once inside the tribunal chamber, he must lie down obediently!"

Cheng Wu sneered.

Even many Supreme Elders, upon visiting the tribunal chamber, had to lie down and obey. Once Chu Fengmian entered the tribunal chamber, everything would be out of his hands.

The tribunal elders also moved, one after another flying towards the direction of the tribunal chamber.

The tribunal chamber, the oldest division of the Martial Victory School.

The entire tribunal chamber was constructed with an eerie aura; on the pitch-black rock walls were numerous bloodstains, whose age was unknown.

Every year, the number of Martial Victory School disciples who died at the hands of the tribunal chamber was no fewer than several hundred. Once inside, it was like entering the gates of hell, with entry but no exit.

The tribunal chamber was surrounded by densely packed numerous prohibitions. To enter, one must break through these numerous prohibitions.

"They say the tribunal chamber is like the gates of hell, with entry but no exit. Today, I indeed wish to see just what tricks the tribunal chamber holds."

Chu Fengmian laughed heartily and took bold steps directly into the tribunal chamber.
