Becoming a Saint From the Iron Armor Skill

"The Wandering Dragon Step is a footwork technique specifically designed to complement the Dragon's Roar Iron Cloth Shirt. Since you don't cultivate the Dragon's Roar Iron Cloth Shirt, Senior Sister Qingshuang, you naturally can't unleash its full power!

Senior Sister Qingshuang, watch closely."

Chen Cheng smiled, then suddenly accelerated, charging toward a large tree not far away.

At this, both sisters, Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang, turned pale with fright.

However, just as he was about to hit the tree, Chen Cheng's figure flashed, and he deftly slipped past it.

To an outsider, it would have looked for certain that Chen Cheng had crashed into the tree.

Even Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang had the distinct impression that Chen Cheng had hit the trunk and passed straight through it.

"Junior Brother Chen, how did you do that?" Shen Qingyao asked, her interest piqued.

Chen Cheng replied calmly, "The path of cultivation is something to be understood intuitively, not explained with words. You two should take your time to grasp it."

...

「Two days later, in the afternoon.」

The scorching sun hung high in the sky.

Even though it was already late autumn, Moshan City felt like a furnace, dry and searingly hot.

A great drought, the likes of which hadn't been seen in decades, had caused the fields to dry up and crop yields to fall. Worst of all, it drove the Demon Beasts into a frenzy, spreading chaos and displacing the populace.

However, with the Demon Beasts in various areas being slain and the Government Office shipping in relief funds and supplies from the Prefecture City, the disaster had been greatly mitigated.

Most of the refugees who had fled the surrounding towns had returned to their homes, and those who had nowhere to go were also properly settled.

Moshan City was slowly returning to its former tranquility.

In such blistering heat, the main streets were mostly deserted.

The few people who were out gathered in tea sheds or under the willow trees lining the Mo River, seeking shade from the heat.

When people gathered, there was always much to discuss. The most popular topic, naturally, was the slaying of demons.

And when it came to slaying demons, the conversation naturally turned to the Purple-clothed Guards from the Prefecture City's Demon Suppression Department.

Among the many Purple-clothed Guards, one name was known by nearly everyone.

Lord Chen Cheng, a Purple-clothed Guard of the Demon Suppression Department.

People spoke with great enthusiasm not only of Chen Cheng's incredible feats—slaying countless powerful Demon Beasts—but more importantly, of the fact that he was a native of Moshan County.

For their very own Moshan County to have produced such an important figure was something the people of Moshan City could boast about for the rest of their lives.

Because of Chen Cheng, Chen An's family, who had moved to Pipa Island, was also held in high esteem by everyone.

From high officials and dignitaries to wealthy gentry and common folk, everyone considered it an honor to be acquainted with Master Chen An.

However, the Chens, from Master Chen An to his two sons, were all very low-key. They generally kept to themselves and rarely made public appearances.

Thus, many could only admire Master Chen An from a distance.

Anyone who was even distantly related to Master Chen An, or who had met him just once, could boast about the connection far and wide.

Chen Cheng left the Chen family home, walked along the main street, crossed a stone bridge, and headed straight for the County Yamen.

All the townspeople he met along the way bowed respectfully, and Chen Cheng would offer a small smile and a slight nod in return.

He entered the rear courtyard of the County Yamen and made his way to the garden, where he saw County Magistrate Shen Zhiming sitting in a pavilion, sipping tea.

He Xingwen and several other officials stood respectfully to one side, giving him a report.

Chen Cheng gave Shen Zhiming a slight, smiling nod and continued straight toward the small courtyard where he was staying.

As soon as he reached the courtyard gate, he felt a cool air emanating from within.

It was much cooler than the surrounding area.

In fact, it wasn't just his courtyard; the entire rear garden of the County Yamen was significantly cooler than anywhere else.

This was precisely why Shen Zhiming had forgone his office in the Government Office building and was working in the rear garden instead.

Pushing the gate open and stepping into the courtyard, the cool air grew more intense, carrying even a faint hint of a chill.

It was like stepping from the sweltering heat of summer directly into the crisp air of early winter.

The source of the chill was two pieces of Cold Crystal Jade resting on a stone table by the flowerbeds.

Shen Qingyao, dressed in a loose-fitting robe, stood before the stone table. She held out a slender, pale hand, sensing the aura of the Cold Crystal Jade. A faint smile graced her beautiful face, as lovely as a peach blossom in spring.

Near a large water vat at the edge of the garden, Shen Qingshuang was also dressed in a loose robe, holding a blue, goose-egg-sized pearl in her hand.

Her exquisite face was as cool and aloof as ever, but her beautiful eyes shimmered with a peculiar light.
