Surviving in a chaotic world and becoming a saint by adding points

Chapter 21 Encounter

"Come on, come on, drink up! Junior brother, don't just eat the food, drink some wine!"

"Sigh, how did I end up having dinner with you?"

Inside a luxurious private room, Meng Sheng watched Chen Ran, who was shoveling medicinal food into his mouth like a wild boar digging for food, and felt like crying.

Upon hearing Meng Sheng's words, Chen Ran symbolically raised his glass and took a sip.

Then, he continued gnawing on the black boar's trotter in his hand.

A blue light flashed in Chen Ran's eyes.

At the bottom of the panel, the blue energy bar is almost full.

Seeing this, Chen Ran sped up even more.

The progress bar was supposed to take a few more days to fill up.

In just a short while, it was almost all accumulated.

This speed is simply irresistible!

Meng Sheng shook his head, smiled, and drank the wine in his hand in one gulp.

Why do I admire Junior Brother Chen and have done so much for him?

It's precisely because of his generosity and unpretentious nature that I like him.

Meng Shengcai would be truly disappointed if people from other minor factions fawned over him like he did.

"Clang!"

The door opened, and three men walked in.

"Sanlang, you came here to eat without inviting us? Don't you consider us friends?"

One of the men, dressed in light green silk and quite handsome, spoke up with a hint of complaint.

"Oh, it's you guys, Brother Gui! I was hosting a banquet for my junior brother today and didn't tell you. It's really my fault."

I'll punish myself with three drinks, come on, come on!

Upon seeing the newcomer, Meng Sheng was overjoyed, then picked up his wine glass and downed three cups in quick succession.

"Very well, Brother Meng is indeed straightforward. And who is this?"

Gui Ping sat down as if they were old friends, looking at Chen Ran who was eating with some confusion.

"This is my junior brother, Chen Ran."

"Junior brother, these are my good friends: Gui Ping, Cheng Hao, and Yu Tao."

After a brief greeting, Chen Ran continued eating his medicinal meal.

Just a little bit more, just a little bit more and it will be enough.

The three who had just entered saw Chen Ran's appearance and subtly revealed their disdain.

Sitting with such a country bumpkin who has never seen the world is simply an insult to civility.

"Brother Gui, weren't you at home preparing for this year's imperial examination? How come you have some free time?"

Unlike Meng Sheng's family, which was similar to a landlord family.

His friends all came from scholarly families and followed the imperial examination system.

"Hey, it's just that things haven't been peaceful in the wild lately."

If the examiner can't come, there's nothing we can do even if we want to take the exam.

"Brother Meng, would you like to join us for a boat trip in a few days?"

"Haha, definitely, definitely."

They chatted on the side, while Chen Ran showed off his skills to Kuku.

at last.

[Blue Seal: 1]

[Red Seal: 1]

Thanks to Chen Ran's tireless efforts, the blue energy bar was finally full.

Below the blue seal, a line of text also appeared.

Red seal.

Upon seeing this name, Chen Ran was momentarily speechless.

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

At the entrance of Zuiqinglou.

Chen Ran bid farewell to Meng Sheng and the others, and headed home.

As for the bear meat, it was left with Meng Sheng for now, and he will come to pick it up tomorrow.

Chen Ran left in a hurry; he couldn't wait to go back and test the so-called red mark.

We passed through the North District and returned to the South District.

It's an alleyway that you have to pass through.

As soon as Chen Ran stepped inside, he saw someone walking towards him.

Upon seeing that person, alarm bells rang in Chen Ran's mind.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately activated the Savage Skin.

"Bang! Bang!!"

Two muffled thuds echoed through the alley.

"what?"

A surprised and doubtful voice came from the man's mouth.

Feeling the pain in his chest, Chen Ran didn't hesitate at all and rushed towards the person with all his might.

"Let's see how many times you can block my Soul-Snatching Dart!!!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!!"

Dozens of barbed, insidious darts were thrown from the shadow's hand.

Seeing this, Chen Ran quickly took out the tied-up lime bag and poison and threw it at the other party.

The lime bag was a large target and was immediately destroyed by a dart.

Dust filled the entire alleyway.

At the same time, hold your breath, and the blue imprint bursts forth within your body.

The vital energy that was almost depleted was suddenly released.

Chen Ran's eyes were bloodshot.

All that blood and energy I'd accumulated for my breakthrough! You son of a bitch, you must die!!!

With its vision obstructed, the shadow's senses were greatly hindered.

He dared not be careless and quickly threw out all the Soul-Snatching Darts in his hand.

Dark clouds obscured the moon, and scattered sparks flickered throughout the dimly lit alley.

As the last Soul-Stealing Dart was thrown.

The shadow quickly found a corner to hide.

"Damn it!!!"

Around the corner, the shadow was completely dumbfounded.

Isn't this supposed to be an honest guy? Who carries around lime and fragrant herbs all the time?!

And what's with his defense, which is comparable to a body-bound martial arts technique?!

This is so different from the information I had previously gathered!

If he had known the other person was so thick-skinned, how could he have been so stupid as to come and mess with him?

Feeling a wave of weakness wash over him, Shadow quickly took out the last antidote pill from his pocket and swallowed it.

A sense of retreat welled up in Shadow's heart.

Just as he was about to escape.

"Bang!!!"

The fist, radiating a pale silver glow, shattered the earthen wall where the shadow was hiding.

Shadow hurriedly pulled out a dagger from his pocket, his internal energy surging, and stabbed at Chen Ran's groin from a tricky angle.

You're hard in other places, but your lower body can't possibly withstand my full-force attack.

But what followed was a feeling of weakness in my body.

My hand movements were a fraction of a second slower.

The shadow was horrified.

How could Xiang Fenggu be so strong?!

Chen Ran lifted his leg.

He delivered a direct knee kick to the shadow's groin.

"Click~"

The sound of an egg breaking came from behind.

Shadow's face was filled with extreme frustration. He, a dignified peak-level expert, had actually been tricked like this. His eyes were wide open in anger.

"You, you, you, despicable."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Ran stepped forward and twisted his head.

Then, like a dead dog, he tossed the shadow aside.

After searching him, they found a box, a dagger, and several bottles and jars of medicine.

Chen Ran quickly headed out of the alley.

As the body's vital energy dissipated, waves of weakness washed over him.

At the same time, I felt intense pain in several parts of my body.

Chen Ran dared not waste any time and carefully made his way towards the North District.

Fortunately, the man had no accomplices, and Chen Ran returned to his small, dilapidated house unharmed.

Back in his room, after confirming there was no danger, Chen Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly opened the hidden compartment, and after confirming that no one had touched it, he took out the antidote for the poison Xiangfeng Bone and put it in his mouth.

After eating, Chen Ran could clearly feel the weakness in his body dissipating.

He had only forced himself to get back home.

He took off his shirt and pants.

Several parts of his body were covered in bruises, and two of them even had broken skin.

"That's terrifying power. If it weren't for the barbarian hide and the blue mark, I'd probably be dead by now."

Looking at the gruesome wound, Chen Ran felt a pang of fear.

If I hadn't caught them off guard...

If it weren't for the poison obtained from Wu Heng, it wouldn't have worked.

Perhaps tonight will be his last night in this world.

Thinking about this, Chen Ran felt a wave of fear.

My initial sense of pride and satisfaction was shattered by the cold reality at this moment.

"Is this the helper those guys called this morning?"

"Are even martial artists who have broken through limits now out here robbing people?"

After calming down, Chen Ran began to think about the man's background.

After a long while, Chen Ran, having no clue whatsoever, gave up trying to figure it out.

Those he offended have basically been physically exorcised.

Even if they weren't physically exorcised, they were killed by others.

Surely no one is specifically targeting me?

"I must become stronger as soon as possible, and I also need to gather all the necessary medicine for the Tongbei Fist technique quickly."

After making his decision, Chen Ran lit his kerosene lamp and began to examine the spoils he had acquired.
