My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 1294: Chapter 1293: The Unfortunate Zhong Ruofeng

"Boom!"

This was the second time Chen Tianlong had witnessed such a powerful Powerful Qi Bomb. Although it wasn’t hitting a stone this time, where the full power of the bomb was displayed, this ninety-five percent potency was enough to severely injure the sealed Zhong Ruofeng.

Sure enough, Zhong Ruofeng was sent flying five or six meters before crashing onto the plaza, spewing an unknown amount of blood, clearly near death.

It’s important to know that having Powerful Qi protection or not makes a huge difference. Ordinary masters, when facing life-threatening situations, will subconsciously activate passive skills, forming a shield of Powerful Qi.

But obviously, Zhong Ruofeng did not complete this defense, because his acupuncture points had been sealed by Chen Tianlong’s precise silver needles. Chen Tianlong took a risk this time; if his three needles missed, his opponent would become alert and cultivate Qi for defense, and the Powerful Qi Bomb wouldn’t have such a significant effect.

Thus, the efficacy of a Powerful Qi Bomb depends not on its overall power but rather on whether its user seizes the exact moment to deliver a fatal blow.

Originally, Chen Tianlong’s strength was at the Great Perfection of the Celestial Dao seven-star level, which could confront Zhong Ruofeng directly. However, his Great Perfection just reached its peak compared to the veteran peak seven-star Celestial Dao, offering little advantage.

Relying on existing power to easily settle the opponent was clearly impossible. Therefore, Chen Tianlong employed this relaxed yet thrilling approach — despite its riskiness, it was exciting.

Those around were stunned by what had just happened; it all occurred within a flash. If not watched closely, no one would know what the two were doing until Zhong Ruofeng was seen flying backward.

Regarding hidden weapons, only one person could see clearly — Ren Kun from the Butterfly Assassin Group.

Ren Kun had dealt with such hidden weapons many times and instinctively noticed when Chen Tianlong flicked his left hand, three silver needles swiftly darting towards the opponent.

Due to Zhong Ruofeng’s close proximity, everything happened in the blink of an eye, or perhaps even faster — they had already struck the vital point. Chen Tianlong’s Powerful Qi Bomb followed immediately, drawing all attention to this part, ensuring no one noticed hidden weapons were employed, and even if they did, it didn’t matter as the arena held no explicit rules against their use.

Nonetheless, making a fuss was better avoided; Chen Tianlong tried his utmost to keep it unnoticed, which was naturally preferable.

"He... he... cough!"

Although Zhong Ruofeng realized he’d been struck by Chen Tianlong’s hidden weapon, before he could express it, he coughed up another mouthful of blood, then fainted.

At this time, his subordinates hurried over, lifted Zhong Ruofeng, and fed him a Great Rejuvenation Pill as instructed by him prior to the fight should anything unexpected occur.

Yet this time, his injuries were too severe. The Great Rejuvenation Pill could only prolong his life temporarily, and he likely wouldn’t wake for a day or night.

That being said, Zhong Ruofeng was definitely unable to attend today’s auction, and given the distant journey home of the Celestial Pill Sect, his minor subordinates wouldn’t risk taking him back home. They sought to consult Lao Feng.

"Elder Lao, could you check Zhong and see if he’s in grave danger? What should we do?" Zhong Ruofeng’s minor subordinate asked, overwhelmed.

"Don’t panic, let me check his pulse." This reassurance was belied by Lao Feng noting Zhong Ruofeng’s state of collapsed veins — seemingly projecting a calm exterior.

"Thank you, I assure you the Sect Leader will be informed upon our return and properly express gratitude," the Celestial Pill Sect’s subordinate stated.

However, Lao Feng perceived these words merely as pleasantries. When did the Celestial Pill Sect ever allow a subordinate’s words to dictate actions? Moreover, Zhong Ruofeng brought this upon himself — warned not to provoke Chen Tianlong, yet he deliberately courted trouble.

"Alas, it’s unavoidable; his veins are completely severed, his pulse chaotic, requiring concentrated rest. I suggest staying at the Antique Manor for a few days, administering a Small Rejuvenation Pill daily until recovery is adequate to return home," Lao Feng advised briefly before standing up.

Fearful of misinterpretation by Chen Tianlong as being associated with the troublemakers, Lao Feng was cautious of any potential retaliation.

Swiftly, Zhong Ruofeng was carried back to his quarters as the plaza audience dispersed, with the auction broadcast already underway.

These actions ensued after receiving word from Mr. Feng, the caretaker, by words.

Internally rejoicing, amazingly Chen Tianlong managed to swiftly eliminate the troubling figures he’d fretted about, paving an easier path for subsequent affairs.

In a grand hall, everyone gradually entered, sitting according to prearranged positions. Originally, Chen Tianlong and Tan Xianglan were set in audience seats, but this matter led to Words realizing their significance.

Thus, he specially arranged honorary seats for the two.

"Mr. Chen, Miss Li, your seats are over here," Mr. Feng greeted them with a smile as they entered.

"Oh?" Chen Tianlong was taken aback, unsure what it meant, yet accepted the arranged seating without questioning since all seats were essentially the same.

Tan Xianglan perceived a subtle implication as they hadn’t formally registered for the auction — they were mere spectators. However, being unexpectedly assigned guest seats was likely due to Chen Tianlong’s newfound recognition.

Following Chen Tianlong, Tan Xianglan sat next to him, now seemingly holding a degree of admiration for him.

Earlier, she confidently intended to leave Chen Tianlong humiliated but realized he was feigning weakness to outwit challengers. Fortunately, her interaction remained verbal, saving her potential injury if truly engaged.

Earlier, while in the Ancient Tan Family, hearing about Chen Tianlong’s excellent Celestial Dao five-star mastery, she doubts anyone could rival him now; finally witnessing powers she never believed existed in the Mortal Realm.

Within less than ten minutes’ span, he’d dealt with a Celestial Dao five-star and a seven-star practitioner, demonstrating formidable power surpassing hers against Lei Laowu.

Faced with Chen Tianlong, Tan Xianglan harbors many questions and curiosities, contemplating an opportunity to understand more about this fellow.

Therefore, Tan Xianglan reassesses Chen Tianlong, having grown in such aristocratic surroundings, she discerned beyond marital constraints and certainly doubted love.
