The red-clothed fighter was a bit dazed, his mind in a state of chaos.

The most important thing was that the painting also depicted a bizarre hand blade covered in small mouths, also two meters in length. It was almost identical in outline to the green blade the senior had used to block the attack earlier, the only difference being that one was formed purely from inner force, while the other was composed of overlapping small hands. Their nature was somewhat different.

Fortunately, no one noticed the change in the red-clothed fighter's expression at this time.

Everyone was actively discussing this Calamity-level abnormality.

A high-level Calamity-level abnormality was something that needed serious attention even in the capital, so naturally they couldn't afford to relax their vigilance.

With Tian Wangchuan's explanation, the calmed-down red-clothed fighter and Lan Shan's Third-Rank Blue Guard, Yang Diandian, handed over their formation tokens.

Only when three formation tokens were gathered together could they truly control the defensive formation of Chu Nuan City.

The individual formation tokens, except for Tian Wangchuan's, were only truly capable of temporarily dispatching the formation, and even that was only temporary. Many functions could not be freely used.

This was a kind of check and balance, a respect for the government.

No matter how powerful the local forces were, they still had to give face to the government.

After obtaining the formation tokens, Tian Wangchuan immediately went to the formation platform and activated the formation.

In an instant, the entire Chu Nuan City was shrouded in clouds and mist, as if in a fairyland.

However, the clouds and mist dissipated after a while.

Tian Wangchuan frowned, looking up at the sky, actually looking at the sun, a corner of which was being devoured by blackness.

"Is it because of the Heavenly Devour... How could this be..."

Everyone stepped forward to inquire, only to learn that Tian Wangchuan, holding the formation, couldn't find the whereabouts of that abnormality.

Either the abnormality had already left Chu Nuan City, or the abnormality's ability to conceal itself was so great that even Tian Wangchuan, with the aid of the formation, could hardly find it.

The former was better, the abnormality leaving, Chu Nuan City would be safe.

But if it was the latter... the danger level of Chu Nuan City would increase sharply!

"Then, will the Wu Jue (martial arts competition) still be held?"

Someone couldn't help but ask.

With such danger, holding the Wu Jue seemed inappropriate.

But Tian Wangchuan glanced at that person and said indifferently, "It will be held."

Others might be a bit surprised or puzzled.

But Tai Yuema knew that holding the Wu Jue was inevitable, because the reward for the Wu Jue had been ordered by the Phoenix organization to be changed to 'An Dong'er,' and there must be a plot behind it. It was impossible to stop the Wu Jue.

Tian Wangchuan should be even clearer about this than he was.

After a fruitless search, everyone could only strengthen patrols. After some discussion, they dispersed.

Yang Diandian seemed to be in a good mood. After all, if abnormalities were rampant, it would be a loss for the Qing Si (Azure Department).

He wanted to mock the red-clothed fighter, but the red-clothed fighter seemed to have something on his mind and left in a hurry.

That embarrassed departing figure was captured by Yang Diandian, who couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.

"Now you know to panic, right? With abnormalities rampant, your position as Red-Clad won't be stable for long!"

With a slight curl of his lips, Yang Diandian went back to Lan Shan (Blue Coral) while humming a little tune.

"System Notification: Congratulations to player [Night Dawn], who, with [Full Attributes], has accumulated a wealth of experience and broken through to a new realm, rewarding a special attribute [Comprehension] +2."

Without relying on killing enemies, this time, Fang Yue relied on cultivating martial skills, practicing with diligence, and breaking through to a new realm on his own!

And at the moment of reaching the Ren (Human) level, Fang Yue felt as if he had been reborn!

His entire body seemed to be different. He felt relaxed, like a wild horse freed from its reins, or a fish returning to the sea. His whole body was filled with power.

Ren level, breakthrough!

Feeling the surging power in his body, Fang Yue smiled.

Finally, finally, I have reached the Ren level!

Finally, I can inherit Lord Han's legacy!

"Lord Han... Master... I will definitely inherit your mantle and pass on your legacy! Even if you have passed away, your martial arts, your legacy, will never be cut off!"

Fang Yue clenched his fist, thinking of Lord Han's past, took a deep breath, and slowly calmed himself down.

Once, Fang Yue said he would help Lord Han obtain the Bianhua flower (flower of the underworld).

Once, Fang Yue said he would help Lord Han reach the Xian (Immortal) level.

Once, Fang Yue said that he would complete his promise to Lord Han no matter what.

But now... Lord Han has passed away, and all he can do is take one step at a time and try to fulfill his past promises!

One day, he will obtain the Bianhua flower and place it in front of Lord Han's grave as a tribute.

Before obtaining the Bianhua flower, before fulfilling his oath... he even dared not return to Qing Si County, dared not face Lord Han's tombstone.

"Wait a little longer... Lord Han, wait a little longer! I am now at the Ren level, and above that is the Yun (Cloud) level, the Yu (Rain) level... the Xian level! I have a spiritual root, I can do it! I will witness the splendor of the Xian level for you, see those landscapes that you never saw, and then bring back memories to tell you in front of your grave."

Clenching his fist, Fang Yue opened the attribute list.
