“Your Highness, are you inside?”
“We heard you had a situation here, so we wanted to come in and take a look.”
… .
Although they had already heard Lai Chun and Chu Xia’s explanation, Zhen Le and Feng Yuan were still worried. They hurriedly went to Zhu Wuyang’s bedroom and knocked on the door.
Before Zhu Wuyang could respond, the two of them had already pushed open the palace door and walked in. After realizing that there was no one in the hall, they walked straight to the study in the bedchamber.
According to their senses, Zhu Wuyang should be in the study.
In the study, Zhu Wuyang heard a knock on the door. He had just absorbed a wave of breakthrough points and was considering whether to let the two of them in when he was stunned to discover that two guards had barged in without waiting for his instructions.
His expression changed slightly. He felt really aggrieved as the Crown Prince.
Without thinking too much, he secretly circulated the Azure Dragon Concealment Art to the limit and tried his best to hide his true strength, waiting for Zhen Le and Feng Yuan to arrive.
When they arrived at the door of the study, Zhen Le and Feng Yuan did not even say a word. They directly pushed open the door and looked at Zhu Wuyang together. At the same time, they circulated their detection techniques.
“So the Crown Prince is eating. Sorry for disturbing you.”
“Fortunately, His Highness is fine. It’s just that the bed is destroyed. We’re relieved.” ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
… .
He seemed to be concerned about Zhu Wuyang, but there was no respect in his tone, as if Zhu Wuyang was not the Crown Prince of the Jiu Zhao Nation.
At the same time, the notification of the Extraordinary Encounters System kept ringing in Zhu Wuyang’s mind.
“Congratulations to the host for saving yourself for the second time in your life. You have obtained 1,600 breakthrough points…”
“Congratulations to the host for seeing a man for the first time in your life. You have received 200 breakthrough points…”
“Congratulations to the host for speaking to a man for the first time in your life. You have received 200 breakthrough points…”
… .
Before this, there were still a few notifications. The breakthrough points had already been absorbed by Zhu Wuyang.
“Congratulations, host. This is the third time in your life that someone has spoken ill of you behind your back. You have received 100 breakthrough points…”
“Congratulations, host, for the first time in your life, you have raised the top-notch concealment secret technique of the pugilistic world, Azure Dragon Concealment Art, to the Lesser Mastery stage. You have obtained 400 breakthrough points…”
… .
With the help of the Lesser Mastery stage Azure Dragon Concealment, Zhu Wuyang successfully hid from Zhen Le and Feng Yuan’s detection. These two Grand Meridian Forging experts did not discover his true strength.
He had escaped this calamity again. If not for Zhu Wuyang raising the Azure Dragon Secret Art in time, with Zhen Le and Feng Yuan’s strength and their detection techniques, Zhu Wuyang’s strength would have been exposed. At that time, what awaited him would definitely be death.
Although Zhu Yandou, the 47th Prince behind Zhen Le and Feng Yuan, wanted Zhu Wuyang to be his shield and temporarily stabilize his position as the Crown Prince, if Zhu Wuyang performed too well, Zhu Yandou would definitely not give Zhu Wuyang a chance to grow stronger out of jealousy.
After all, there was only one throne!
It was not until Zhen Le and Feng Yuan sized him up and confirmed that Zhu Wuyang was fine that they left.
“Phew…”
Seeing the two of them leave, Zhu Wuyang heaved a long sigh of relief. The strange energy that surged over could no longer be suppressed and spread throughout his body, increasing his strength at an astonishing speed.
“Congratulations to the host for successfully surviving a life-and-death crisis for the second time in your life. You have received 3,000 breakthrough points…”
Another wave of breakthrough points turned into an even stronger surge of strange power, flooding into Zhu Wuyang’s body.
Fortunately, Zhu Wuyang’s meridians were all opened. Each meridian could effectively digest this strange energy and transform it into pure and powerful Earth Qi and blood, so it did not put any pressure on Zhu Wuyang.
Zhu Wuyang methodically controlled the huge amount of Qi and blood power to hammer and polish every bone in his body, making it more and more firm and flexible.
As each bone improved, the lethality of Zhu Wu’s every move soared, and his penetrative power could be said to be terrifying.
At this moment, even if a thousand-catty boulder were placed in front of Zhu Wuyang, it could be shattered by a single punch from him, let alone splitting a brick with his bare hands and crushing a huge rock with his chest.
The cloud formed by the Earth Qi and blood essence had already expanded to a radius of several meters. It sat between reality and illusion, lingering around Zhu Wuyang’s body, effectively strengthening every bone.
After this wave of breakthrough points was absorbed, although Zhu Wuyang had not broken through to the Late-stage Golden Bones Refinement Realm, he was already very close.
If nothing unexpected happened, with a few more waves of breakthroughs, Zhu Wuyang’s strength would be able to advance to the Late-stage of the Golden Bones Refinement Realm.
“Congratulations to the host for being cared for for the first time in your life. You have obtained 400 breakthrough points…”
“Congratulations to the host for being protected for the first time in your life. You have received 500 breakthrough points…”
“Congratulations to the host for being betrayed by your subordinate for the second time in your life. You have received 300 breakthrough points…”
… .
At this moment, another notification came from the Extraordinary Encounters System. Who was thinking about him this time?
After leaving the Crown Prince’s chamber, Feng Yuan frowned. “Even the precious thousand-year-old incense wooden bed was burned by Zhu Wuyang. This is the first time Zhu Wuyang has done such an outrageous thing. Do you think it’s possible that he wanted to commit suicide on the thousand-year-old incense wooden bed but didn’t die because of his cowardice? In the end, he only burned the thousand-year-old incense wooden bed?”
“I think that’s very likely. It’s quite in line with Zhu Wuyang’s personality. However, this situation isn’t what His Highness 47th wants to see. It wasn’t easy for His Highness to push Zhu Wuyang, the scapegoat, up here. He wants him to block the disaster for everyone. We can’t let him die so easily,” Zhen Le said worriedly.
Feng Yuan nodded. “That’s right. Let’s pay more attention to Zhu Wuyang in the future. Don’t let him die easily. Even if he’s really going to die, he has to wait until the Mad Emperor is about to die. Tell the other guards, palace maids, and eunuchs about this… Tell them to be careful. If Zhu Wuyang dies, everyone will suffer.”
“Alright, I understand,” Zhen Le replied.
This was the truth behind the care and protection special encounters that Zhu Wuyang had received, making him helplessly gain another wave of hundreds of breakthrough points.
