Becoming a Saint From the Iron Armor Skill

Chapter 390: Chapter 200: Becoming Chen Cheng

"Of course! The two Lord Shens are Bone Forging Realm Martial Artists. Killing a single Tier Two Tiger Demon should be a piece of cake for them. What kind of fight would it even be?"

Someone retorted.

A timid voice piped up, "Could it be... that the two Lord Shens were injured by the Tier Two Tiger Demon?"

"Tch! What nonsense are you spouting? A Tier Two Demon Beast is tough, sure, but if it even dared to show its face, Brother Liu could kill it with a single arrow.

Besides, the two Lord Shens’ Martial Arts Power is far greater than Brother Liu’s!"

A contemptuous voice immediately chimed in. The speaker was one of the Great Success Martial Artists of the Muscle Strengthening Realm from Liu Ruofeng’s team.

At that, everyone sneered at the person who had just spoken.

The person meekly fell silent, not daring to say another word.

But as the commotion in the woods drew closer to their position, they could faintly make out what was crashing through the trees. It was an enormous, snow-white White Tiger, over ten feet long.

The colossal White Tiger held its head high, its massive, crimson eyes wide with what looked like fury.

Everyone gasped in unison!

"A Red-eyed White Tiger! It’s the Tier Two Demon Beast, the Red-eyed White Tiger! It actually made it out of there alive!"

Someone cried out in alarm.

"Don’t tell me the two Lord Shens were actually injured by this Tiger Demon?" someone said worriedly.

"Quiet down. The Red-eyed White Tiger is already dead," Liu Ruofeng said. "Let’s go and greet them."

Liu Ruofeng leaped down from his high vantage point and started down the mountain, taking the lead.

As he cultivated an Archery Skill, his eyesight was exceptional, allowing him to see far more clearly than the others.

He could faintly make out someone carrying the Red-eyed White Tiger, clearing a path in front, followed by two figures in purple.

At the foot of the mountain, the crowd finally got a look at the legendary Tier Two Tiger Demon, the Red-eyed White Tiger.

It was currently being held aloft by a tall, handsome young man.

This person was none other than Chen Cheng.

Meanwhile, the sisters Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang followed a good distance behind Chen Cheng, their expressions serene.

Everyone was utterly dumbfounded!

Only Liu Ruofeng and Wang Xiongzhang, who had the sharpest eyes, remained relatively composed.

Liu Ruofeng stared at the Red-eyed White Tiger, lost in thought.

"Brother... Brother Chen, what are you doing here?"

Wang Xiongzhang asked, his face a mask of shock and doubt.

Chen Cheng flashed a casual smile. "I was in the mountains catching rabbits, happened to run into this big cat, and just grabbed it while I was at it."

"Er..." Wang Xiongzhang opened his mouth, but not a single word came out.

’Just grabbed a Tier Two Tiger Demon while I was at it? What kind of nonsense is that?’

"Lord... Lord Chen, this Tier Two Tiger Demon... you’re the one who killed it?"

Zhan Xinwu stammered.

"Indeed." Chen Cheng gave a slight nod, swept his gaze over the crowd, and added, "It’s getting late. We should head back."

With that, he took the lead and dashed toward the hill by the main road.

As he charged forward, he swung his Long Saber, hacking away trees that blocked his path and carving out a trail by sheer force.

’So *this* is what a Humanoid Fierce Beast looks like!’

The crowd erupted in an uproar!

...

「On the hill.」

The members of the Shen Family’s Demon-slaying Team were a hive of activity, dividing the labor among themselves.

First, Sha Wuyi led a group to carefully collect the blood of the Red-eyed White Tiger.

Then, it was handed over to the logistics team to be skinned, gutted, and butchered...

As night fell, bonfires blazed to life across the hill.

People gathered in small groups around the bonfires, roasting tiger meat. It was a lively scene!

The Bone Forging Realm Martial Artists in the team had also gathered together.

"The younger generation is truly something to be feared!"

"Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow" Liu Yongzhen muttered with feeling as he rotated the branch in his hand, ensuring the skewered tiger meat cooked evenly.

Beside him, Shen Zhiheng was also leisurely roasting tiger meat, his face filled with excitement.

The Shen Family was interested in a marriage alliance with Chen Cheng, which meant he would soon be their son-in-law.

Shen Zhiheng was naturally delighted that Chen Cheng’s Martial Arts Power was so immense.

He glanced at Liu Yongzhen, then at Luo Mingyu on the other side, and said,

"Young Master Chen killed the Red-eyed White Tiger with ease using his Powerful Claw Stance. His Martial Arts Power is likely no weaker than that of a martial artist at Small Success in the Bone Forging Realm."

Luo Mingyu’s expression was quite complicated. He nodded and said gravely, "The way I see it, an ordinary martial artist at Small Success in the Bone Forging Realm might not even be a match for Young Master Chen.

To have such immense Martial Arts Power before the age of twenty... not even Mr. Zheng reached this level when he was young."

Shen Zhiheng chuckled. "A great master produces a brilliant disciple, and the student surpasses the master. For Young Master Chen to possess such power, he must be Mr. Zheng’s True Inheritor."

...

The Muscle Strengthening Realm Martial Artists in the Demon-slaying Team were also busy roasting tiger meat.

Having shared in hardship together, the few young elites had finally integrated into Liu Ruofeng’s and Wang Xiongzhang’s respective teams.

They were all young, and getting to roast Tier Two Demon Beast Meat before they had even reached Moshan County was undoubtedly a cause for excitement.

As they roasted the meat, they chatted excitedly, with most of the conversation centering on demon slaying.

Being besieged by the horde of fierce beasts on Evil Tiger Ridge, though dangerous, had also been excellent training.

Thanks to this experience, they now had a better idea of how to protect themselves and coordinate a counterattack when facing large numbers of fierce beasts, or even Demon Beasts.

Liu Ruofeng and his eight-man team of Purple-clothed Guards from the Demon Suppression Department were undoubtedly rich in experience, and they patiently shared their knowledge with the young elites who had just joined their ranks.

The young elites listened humbly and asked questions, all while discreetly trying to curry favor with the beautiful women they admired.

The scene was animated and the atmosphere joyous. It was truly a lively gathering!

Yet, amidst all this liveliness, everyone was deliberately avoiding one topic: Chen Cheng.

Logically, since it was Chen Cheng who had hunted the Tier Two Tiger Demon, the Red-eyed White Tiger, allowing them all to gather so joyfully around the bonfires roasting its meat, everyone should have been eagerly discussing him.

But in truth, no one mentioned Chen Cheng at all.

Everyone merely snuck occasional glances at a certain someone sitting quietly in the distance, a piece of roasted tiger meat in each hand, busy gnawing away.

The guy didn’t even have to roast the meat himself. The moment he finished one piece, one of the two stunningly beautiful women beside him would hand over another that was perfectly cooked.

These two incomparably beautiful women were none other than Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang, hailed as the "Peerless Twin Jewels of Linji City"!

If word of this scene ever reached the young elites of Linji City, that fellow Chen Cheng would surely become public enemy number one!

He’d be the target of unending envy, jealousy, and hate!

But the young elites in the Demon-slaying Team only felt envy and jealousy; they didn’t dare to feel hate.

Because Chen Cheng was too strong. He was so strong that it made them afraid, and that fear turned into respect.

Though they were all young, Chen Cheng was an insurmountable mountain looming over them.

His presence weighed on them so heavily that they could only be docile, not daring to harbor any other thoughts.

"Miss Liu, I added some special, expensive spices to this meat. Please, try some while it’s hot."

Zhan Xinwu eagerly offered the roasted meat to Liu Ruolan, but she replied coolly,

"Thank you, Young Master Zhan, but I find that meat tastes best when you roast it yourself. I’ll just eat mine."

With that, Liu Ruolan began to nibble on her own piece of meat, her eyes occasionally stealing glances toward Chen Cheng, looking completely distracted.

"Oh... Alright then." Zhan Xinwu read her expression and vaguely guessed what was happening. He could only let out a long sigh inwardly.

He turned his head just in time to see Shen Qingyao carefully wiping the grease from the corner of Chen Cheng’s mouth with a white silk handkerchief.

’I envy not the lovebirds, nor the gods above, but I envy Chen Cheng every single day! If I were in Young Master Chen’s shoes, I’d probably wake up laughing from my dreams!’

Muttering this to himself, Zhan Xinwu took a vicious bite of the meat in his hand, only to find it tasted completely wrong.

’Huh... how could I have been so focused on sprinkling spices that I forgot to add any salt!’

Zhan Xinwu slapped his thigh.

...

That night, Chen Cheng was once again on watch duty.

Furthermore, because his qi and blood had been so greatly supplemented, he had no choice but to cultivate the Martial Dao intensely all night long.

Which meant he was naturally on duty for the entire night.

The next day, when everyone saw that he was still full of vigor, they couldn’t help but marvel.

They were once again deeply impressed.

’So that’s it,’ they thought. ’The strong aren’t just blessed with exceptional talent, they’re also more diligent in cultivating the Martial Dao than anyone else!’

’Practicing diligently without pause—isn’t that the secret to Chen Cheng’s strength?’

Inspired by this discovery, the young people all vied for the night watch shift that day, despite being physically and mentally exhausted from another day of travel.

As a result, when the Demon-slaying Team set out at dawn, many of its members were sporting dark circles under their eyes.

When these dark-circled youths saw that Chen Cheng was still as vigorous and full of life as ever, they couldn’t help but sigh with renewed admiration.

’Turns out,’ they thought, ’not just anyone can be a Chen Cheng!’
