Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 896 - 479: Next Time I’ll Break Your Legs! (Part 2)

"Why on earth have those two shown up at Prince Xuan’s Mansion all of a sudden?"

Deep curiosity stirred within Chen Xuan.

After all, these two were true heavyweights; they wouldn’t drop by without good reason.

"Almost there!"

With merely thousands of miles left, Chen Xuan fully suppressed the Rule of Space before deploying his Telepathy.

Inside the grand hall of Prince Xuan’s Mansion.

Zhan Tian, mid-argument with Liu Sheng, abruptly halted and gazed skyward.

Liu Sheng mirrored his action.

A spatial ripple suddenly emerged, from which Chen Xuan emerged through the rift.

"Hmm?"

Liu Sheng arched his brow; why was the spatial disturbance so intense? Was mastering the Rule of Space truly that challenging?

Chen Xuan landed and swiftly drew near the pair, bowing respectfully. "Greetings, Chief Eunuch Liu, Elder Zhan!"

"You’ve got some guts, kid. In all of Great Yu, aside from His Majesty, you’re the first to keep us old timers waiting."

Zhan Tian seized the chance to rib him.

"Please forgive me, Elder Zhan; an urgent matter called me away,"

Chen Xuan sincerely owned up to his tardiness.

After all, this was the leader of the Three Judicial Departments, who had aided him greatly this time; owning up cost him nothing.

"Hmm hmm!"

"Decent attitude!"

Zhan Tian approved of this response and let the issue slide.

"You’re dismissed now."

Chen Xuan instructed Shi Jian.

"Yes!"

Shi Jian offered bows to the trio before departing the hall.

Once he was gone, Chen Xuan inquired, "What brings you two here so unexpectedly? Do you require my assistance?"

"Check this out."

Zhan Tian gestured toward the Winged Dragon Beast, now in bird form perched on his shoulder.

"This is...."

Only then did he spot the bird on Zhan Tian’s shoulder, baffled—why would the elder have a bird there? Some odd habit?

He scrutinized it closely, holding back his Telepathy.

"Hiss.... incredibly powerful, wait—no, why does it seem so feeble?"

Chen Xuan muttered under his breath, brow furrowed in confusion.

The bird exuded a savage vibe, particularly that aura—it felt oddly familiar.

"Kid truly can’t discern it."

Chen Xuan shook his head at last.

"Winged Dragon Beast!"

Liu Sheng revealed in that instant.

"What? Winged Dragon Beast!"

Shock rocked Chen Xuan; in mere days, before he’d even committed to Zhan Tian’s offer, they’d hauled the Winged Dragon Beast right here.

"How’s it strike you? Tempted yet?"

Zhan Tian grinned as he probed.

"To snag this Winged Dragon Beast, I stormed Dark Moon’s headquarters, nearly clashed with that ancient fossil who’s endured hundreds of thousands of years."

"So, how will you repay the favor?"

Cornered by Zhan Tian’s bid for gratitude, Chen Xuan could only concede.

He had to save face, after all.

"Elder Zhan, name it—if it’s within my power, I won’t hesitate!"

"Ha! That’s precisely what I sought—your willingness."

Zhan Tian boomed with laughter, clapping Chen Xuan’s shoulder.

Liu Sheng stayed quiet throughout, knowing full well Chen Xuan owed Zhan Tian big time; without him, Dark Moon would never have released the Winged Dragon Beast.

"Fine lad, your frame—it’s turned to jade bones already?"

"Impressively tough!"

"Old Man Liu, have a feel!"

He directed this at Liu Sheng, his shoulder pat deliberate to gauge Chen Xuan’s bodily strength.

That touch gave him a solid read.

"Not fully jade bones yet."

Chen Xuan sensed the heavy hand on his shoulder, Zhan Tian gripping until it groaned.

"Elder Zhan, ease up—my bones are cracking under your grasp."

Grimacing, he felt utterly powerless.

What’s more, he couldn’t dislodge it; the hand clung like glue.

"Such is the might of a true powerhouse?"

Chen Xuan reeled in awe; never, not even against a rabbit, had he sensed this pressure.

One could imagine Zhan Tian outclassed that rabbit by leagues.

"Enough of that—act your age, senior."

Liu Sheng finally intervened, chiding Zhan Tian.

"Fine, fine, understood."

Though annoyed, Zhan Tian withdrew his hand from Chen Xuan’s shoulder.

Relief washed over Chen Xuan instantly.

Yet Zhan Tian eyed him head to toe. "Not even complete jade bones, and your physique’s this formidable—clearly, pre-jade bones, it was already freakish."

"No surprise you require this Winged Dragon Beast."

At that moment, he abandoned any thought of sparring with Chen Xuan; even realm-suppressed, one blow from him would overwhelm.

His own body vastly surpassed Chen Xuan’s.

"Will this Winged Dragon Beast push him to full jade bones?"

Liu Sheng questioned Zhan Tian.

On Body Tempering matters, Zhan Tian held the edge in expertise.

Across Great Yu, few boasted stronger physiques—perhaps only Emperor Yu, though it was mere speculation; the true hierarchy remained murky.

Thus, despite late Eighth Layer Dao Realm, even peak Eighth Layer foes held no terror for him.

"Hmm...."

Zhan Tian mulled it over intently.

After prolonged thought, he spoke measuredly. "From his current condition, prospects look dim."

"The Winged Dragon Beast’s essence blood refines the body, yet advancing toward jade bones grows ever harder; I achieved it with that item back then, but..."

"That item? What was it, Elder Zhan?"

Chen Xuan pressed urgently, suspecting the elder teased him by withholding.

"Fine, even if I say, it’s pointless—we can’t obtain it now."

"For now, test it with this Winged Dragon Beast; upon returning to the Imperial City, I’ll consult His Majesty on Body Tempering elixirs."
