Chapter 389: Chapter 200: Becoming Chen Cheng

When they heard the earth-shattering roars of fury coming from deep within Evil Tiger Ridge, Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang deduced that someone had trespassed into the Tier Two Tiger Demon’s territory, provoking it into a frenzy.

And that person was most likely Chen Cheng.

The Tier Two Tiger Demon deep within Evil Tiger Ridge possessed strength that far surpassed an ordinary Perfect Martial Artist of the Muscle Strengthening Realm.

To hunt it down, it would take at least three Perfect Martial Artists of the Muscle Strengthening Realm working together.

Chen Cheng had reached Small Success in the Muscle Strengthening Realm and had even cultivated Saber Momentum. His true combat power was no less than that of an ordinary Perfect Martial Artist of the Muscle Strengthening Realm who had yet to cultivate their own Momentum.

But even with such Martial Arts Power, he was no match for a berserk Tier Two Tiger Demon. It wasn’t even close.

Even escaping from the Tier Two Tiger Demon’s pursuit would be incredibly difficult. It was a situation that spelled certain death.

One could only imagine the anxiety Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang felt, knowing Chen Cheng was in such grave danger.

That was why they had raced over frantically, hoping to save him before he was devoured by the tiger.

But not even in their wildest dreams could they have imagined the scene that would greet them upon their arrival.

The Tier Two Tiger Demon, whose true combat strength far surpassed that of an ordinary Perfect Martial Artist of the Muscle Strengthening Realm, had actually been slain by Chen Cheng.

At that moment, Chen Cheng’s face was slightly flushed, his breathing steady and deep. The Qi Blood Power radiating from his body was exceptionally potent.

Sensed from a distance, his aura was as formidable as that of a Tier Two Demon Beast.

And yet, Chen Cheng looked completely relaxed, a faint smile on his face, the very picture of calm composure.

After their immense anxiety, the hearts of the two sisters, Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang, were now filled with immense astonishment.

This astonishment, in turn, morphed into annoyance and blame.

It was because Chen Cheng had been far too audacious, recklessly entering the Tier Two Tiger Demon’s territory alone. He had placed himself in grave danger, making them worried sick!

’Chen Cheng, oh, Chen Cheng, do you have any idea how many people would be heartbroken, grieving and shedding tears for you if you had been devoured by that tiger?’

This was the complex and contradictory thought running through both sisters’ minds.

However, neither of them voiced this thought aloud.

Because they had noticed another astonishing fact: Chen Cheng’s Martial Arts Power seemed to be far greater than they had ever imagined.

Especially after a quick examination of the Red-eyed White Tiger’s corpse, both Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang were shaken to their very core.

The Red-eyed White Tiger, a beast that even they could not easily slay, had been crushed to death by Chen Cheng with ease!

That’s right—crushed to death with ease!

This was easy to see.

"Junior Brother Chen, you’ve cultivated the Powerful Claw Stance?"

At last, Shen Qingshuang couldn’t help but ask.

Chen Cheng smiled. "I cultivated the Powerful Claw Stance long ago. That’s why our master took me in as his Closed-door Disciple. I thought you knew, Senior Sister Qingshuang."

"Our master never mentioned it to me!" Shen Qingshuang’s beautiful face was frosty, her demeanor cold, as if she were still angry.

In her heart, however, she was clearly overjoyed.

If Chen Cheng were merely a Small Success Martial Artist of the Muscle Strengthening Realm, he still wouldn’t have been able to kill this Red-eyed White Tiger, even with the Powerful Claw Stance.

Chen Cheng’s true Martial Arts Power had to be much, much greater. He was at least a Perfect Martial Artist of the Muscle Strengthening Realm.

It was even possible that he was no weaker than she, Shen Qingshuang, was!

For a long time after meeting Chen Cheng, Shen Qingshuang had subconsciously treated him as a subordinate to be nurtured, never once considering marrying him.

After all, a prodigy like her had always been proud. How could she possibly marry a man whose Martial Arts Power was inferior to her own?

Later, Chen Cheng revealed an exceptional Martial Arts Talent on par with a True Disciple from a Major Sect, promising immense Martial Arts Achievement in the future.

Coupled with the Shen Family Elders’ suggestion and Shen Qingyao’s sudden appearance, vying to secure a marriage alliance with Chen Cheng...

Shen Qingshuang had been plagued by indecision, but only then did the thought of marrying Chen Cheng begin to take root in her mind.

But the idea wasn’t very clear, because Chen Cheng’s Martial Arts Power was still far from matching hers.

Now, however, the Martial Arts Power Chen Cheng displayed could only be described as terrifying.

If things continued on this path, it probably wouldn’t be long before Chen Cheng surpassed her, forcing her to look up to him.

She would willingly follow by his side, without a single regret, even if it meant being just a concubine.

’This man is destined to be mine, Shen Qingshuang’s!’

Shen Qingshuang thought to herself as she stared at Chen Cheng, a resolute light shining in her beautiful eyes unlike ever before.

On the other side, Shen Qingyao undoubtedly felt the same way.

"Junior Brother Chen, you really know how to hide your strength!

In less than a year, your Martial Arts Power will probably catch up to mine!

At that point, will I have to start calling you Senior Brother Chen?"

Shen Qingyao said softly, her eyes dancing.

In the Martial Arts Realm, the rule has always been that strength does the talking.

But Shen Qingyao’s words didn’t seem to be limited to just the rules of the Martial Arts Realm.

They also hinted at the rules between a man and a woman.

If she was stronger than Chen Cheng, he would naturally have to call her Senior Sister Shen.

She would be on top, and Chen Cheng would be on the bottom.

Conversely, if Chen Cheng was stronger than her... perhaps she, too, could be the one on the bottom.

...

「On the outskirts of Evil Tiger Ridge.」

Atop a towering, forested peak, Liu Ruofeng, Wang Xiongzhang, and the other Muscle Strengthening Realm Martial Artists from the Shen Family’s Demon-slaying Team stood on a massive cliff, gazing toward the depths of Evil Tiger Ridge.

After a brief period of silence, they saw another major commotion stirring within the forest.

It looked as if a powerful Demon was rampaging through the trees, crashing its way toward the outer forests of Evil Tiger Ridge.

Trees snapped and broke in its wake as dust and debris filled the air—an astonishing display of power!

"That can’t be right. The two Lords Shen didn’t fight the Tier Two Tiger Demon. Are they turning back so soon?"

someone asked, looking puzzled.
