Chapter 195: Prodigy Xiao Chen

Fang Yu emanated a cold and violent aura, causing Xia Heguang and others who fell to the ground to change their expressions drastically.

What exactly happened?

“General!”

The guards outside the courtyard heard the commotion and rushed in nervously.

Seeing Fang Yu’s cold expression and eyes filled with killing intent, several guards’ expressions changed as they simultaneously raised their rifles, aiming at Fang Yu.

“What are you doing!? Put down your guns!” Xia Heguang came to his senses and shouted.

Following their superior’s order, the guards immediately lowered their rifles.

“You may leave now, I’m… fine here.” Xia Heguang waved his hand and said.

“General.” Several guards’ expressions changed slightly, as Xia Heguang was still sitting on the ground while Fang Yu was emanating killing intent. The situation clearly seemed unusual.

It was their duty to protect Xia Heguang’s safety, how could they dare to leave?

Xia Xiaoying helped Xia Heguang up, then looked at the imposing Fang Yu, her beautiful eyes filled with anger.

“Captain Fang, what is the meaning of this?”

Fang Yu continued staring at Xiao Chen on the phone screen.

At this point, Xiao Chen had already cleared all the tanks and armed helicopters in front of him.

The video ended.

The technique Xiao Chen used, Fang Yu could be 100% certain, was the secret art of the Purple Flame Palace!

“I need to know all information about this Xiao Chen.” Fang Yu raised his head, looked at Xia Xiaoying, and said coldly.

A red gleam flashed in Fang Yu’s eyes.

Meeting his gaze, Xia Xiaoying felt her heart suddenly tremble.

“Fang Yu, you dare hurt grandfather and us!? This is the Jiangnan Military Region!” Xia Weiyu got up from the ground, her face pale with anger, and said.

Then, she looked at the group of guards who were standing still and angrily said: “Why aren’t you arresting this person!?”

The guards’ expressions changed as they looked toward Xia Heguang.

According to the rules, they should indeed arrest Fang Yu. But they still needed to follow Xia Heguang’s instructions.

“You may leave.” Xia Heguang spoke again.

“Understood, General.”

Since Xia Heguang had spoken twice, these guards naturally didn’t dare to stay any longer, or it would be disobeying superior orders.

“Grandfather, why did you let them leave? Fang Yu has become like this, shouldn’t we arrest him!?” Xia Weiyu said through gritted teeth.

Xia Heguang ignored Xia Weiyu and looked at Fang Yu with a serious expression.

In all his interactions with Fang Yu, Fang Yu had always maintained a lazy and casual demeanor.

Such intense emotional fluctuation, this was the first time he had seen it in Fang Yu.

“Captain Fang, can you tell us why you’re so agitated?” Xia Heguang asked.

Fang Yu glanced at Xia Heguang, noticing the mess in the courtyard.

At this moment, he finally realized that his previous behavior was indeed too emotional.

Fang Yu didn’t answer Xia Heguang’s question, but looked at Xia Xiaoying and said again: “I need all files about Xiao Chen.”

Xia Xiaoying took a deep breath and said: “I can give you his files, but you must tell me the reason for your agitation.”

Fang Yu slightly narrowed his eyes and said: “No particular reason, I just think he looks like someone I used to know.”

“Who?” Xia Xiaoying asked.

“An enemy,” Fang Yu answered coldly.

Hearing this answer, Xia Heguang and Xia Xiaoying’s expressions changed slightly.

Fang Yu and Xiao Chen were enemies?

Based on their career histories, these two shouldn’t have had any connection!

“You’ve probably mistaken him for someone else. Xiao Chen was born into the Xiao family, which has deep military background. He grew up in the army since childhood, was sent abroad for special training, and only returned when he was fifteen…” Xia Xiaoying said.

“I’ve already answered your question, now give me his files.” Fang Yu interrupted Xia Xiaoying.

Xia Xiaoying looked at Xia Heguang, seeking his opinion.

Xia Heguang nodded.

“Wait a moment.” Xia Xiaoying walked into the house.

…

A few minutes later, Xia Xiaoying came out with a laptop.

She opened a document and handed it to Fang Yu.

Fang Yu took the laptop and looked at it with narrowed eyes.

The document contained Xiao Chen’s background information, which was quite detailed, down to his time of birth.

“Before age eight, he showed no difference from ordinary children. After age eight, he began to show martial arts talent, and his father Xiao Zheng immediately sent him to a special military school…”

Seeing this paragraph, Fang Yu’s expression changed slightly.

Just an ordinary child before age eight, then suddenly showing martial arts talent after eight?

This was clearly abnormal.

Based on Fang Yu’s nearly five thousand years of experience, a person’s cultivation talent should be determined from birth.

As for the late awakening recorded in many ancient books, the protagonist must have experienced some extraordinary encounter that led to it.

This Xiao Chen was obviously the same.

He couldn’t have changed from an ordinary child into a genius suddenly.

Something must have happened when he was eight years old.

Fang Yu raised his head, looked at Xia Xiaoying, and asked: “I want to know what happened when Xiao Chen was eight years old?”

Xia Xiaoying’s attitude toward Fang Yu grew increasingly dissatisfied, and she answered coldly: “All information about Xiao Chen is in the computer document. Anything not in the document is unknown.”

Fang Yu closed the laptop, looked at Xia Xiaoying, and asked: “Will Xiao Chen definitely participate in this military region competition?”

“Of course,” Xia Xiaoying answered.

“So what if he comes? Don’t tell me you want to defeat him? Stop dreaming, Xiao Chen is ranked first on the military list, the current King of Warriors! He’s not even in the same league as you, so stop trying to make yourself look good.” Xia Weiyu nearby rolled her eyes and said with disgust.

“You, go back to your room right now!” Xia Heguang glared at Xia Weiyu and reprimanded in a low voice.

Xia Weiyu gave Fang Yu a resentful look, snorted coldly, and turned to go back to her room.

“Captain Fang, after seeing these files, are you sure Xiao Chen is your enemy?” Xia Heguang asked gravely.

Fang Yu knew that if he answered yes, it would inevitably raise doubts and questions from Xia Heguang and others, causing endless trouble.

Moreover, there was no need for anyone to know about the Purple Flame Palace matter.

It was enough that Fang Yu himself knew.

So, Fang Yu shook his head and said: “No, I mistook him for someone else. He just looks similar.”

Xia Heguang sighed in relief and said: “That’s good.”

Judging from the killing intent Fang Yu had emanated earlier, if Xiao Chen were really his enemy, they would definitely fight upon meeting, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Not to mention Xiao Chen’s strength, just his background alone made him someone who couldn’t be provoked.

Offending Xiao Chen was equivalent to offending the Xiao family.

Even Xia Heguang, as the Military Region General, couldn’t protect Fang Yu.

“It’s said that Xiao Chen is currently attempting to break through to the Saint realm, you shouldn’t have too many thoughts about him.” Xia Xiaoying said coldly from the side.

“Yes, Captain Fang. For this military region competition, don’t put too much pressure on yourself, just maintaining a position in the top five is enough.” Xia Heguang added.

“Saint realm?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at Xia Xiaoying.

“You don’t even understand martial artist realms?” Xia Xiaoying frowned slightly and said, “Innate Warrior, Martial Grandmaster, Martial King, Martial Saint. Four major realms in total.”

“In today’s martial arts world of China, there are no more than a hundred Martial Kings, and Martial Saints are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.” Xia Xiaoying said.

And Xiao Chen, at just twenty-six years old, was attempting to break through to the Martial Saint realm.

This level could no longer be considered genius.

This was a monster!

Throughout the entire history of Chinese martial arts, there had never been such a monster like Xiao Chen!

After hearing Xia Xiaoying’s words, Fang Yu’s eyes flickered.

Today’s martial arts realm classification was actually equivalent to the realm classification of the immortal cultivation world from years ago.

Innate Warrior was equivalent to Qi Condensation stage, Martial Grandmaster to Foundation Establishment stage, Martial King to Core Formation stage, and Martial Saint should be equivalent to Nascent Soul stage.

“Xiao Chen broke through to Foundation Establishment at eighteen, Core Formation at twenty-one, and is now trying to break through to Nascent Soul…”

This talent was indeed very strong, even if placed in the spirit-rich era thousands of years ago, he would be considered a genius.

But Fang Yu didn’t care about his talent.

He only cared about one thing.

That is, how did Xiao Chen obtain the Purple Flame Palace’s inheritance?

This must be related to Xiao Chen’s sudden awakening at age eight!

However, Fang Yu wasn’t in a hurry.

Because he would soon meet Xiao Chen.

At that time, he would definitely figure things out.

Thinking this, Fang Yu’s pupils flashed with an otherworldly red light.
