“Not bad, a bonafide king at thirty years old! You’re probably the only one in the Xia clan!” Chu He said with a smile.

According to what Chu He knew about the situation within the Xia clan, he had not met with any real fighter of the Genuine King Realm. The one with the highest realm was the Ultimate Demi-King, who was only able to match up to a freshly broken through real king.

He was unsure whether or not there were other hidden powerhouses.

At the very least, on the surface, apart from him, Lin Xueling was considered the most special one.

“That’s not true! In the Imperial City, there’s currently an Ultimate Demi-King elder. When he was young, he managed to enter the Demi-King Realm at the age of twenty-eight. There’s still a huge gap if I were to compare with him.”

Lin Xueling would not let pride overrule her just because Chu He praised her.

However, she was unaware that the one in the Imperial City was just a demi-king while she was an actual king.

In fact, if she just wanted to break through into the Demi-King Realm, she could have done that a few years ago. Besides, there would not be any risks involved, and need not accumulate for such a long time.

“Oh yeah, Lil Chu, when did you break through into the Demi-King Realm?”

Lin Xueling blinked and asked curiously.

She had long ago confirmed that Chu He was a powerhouse.

Besides, she had never doubted him once. Ten years ago, the one who instantly killed the five powerhouses of the foreign clans with five punches, and the one bestowed her family elder an additional five years of lifespan, was none other than Lil Chu before her.

“I’ve never broken through into the Demi-King Realm!” said Chu He.

He was stating the fact. He immediately broke through into the Third Turn, which was equivalent to a genuine king. As for the crooked pathway to becoming a demi-king, perhaps he would never need to trek that path.

Lin Xueling was not willing to buy it.

Chu He was able to present her with the tablets needed to break through and even guided her. ‘I’m able to enter the Demi-King Realm in such a short period, how can it be possible that his abilities are anything short of overwhelming?’

However, since Chu He would not tell her, she did not ask anymore either.

…

Time passed by very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, another 10 years had passed.

It was the winter solstice season.

Snow covered every surface, and it was a year of harvesting.

It was windy outside. There was also a very thick layer of snow on the ground when the book depository was opened.

Chu He, who was wearing a thin green shirt, came out for a walk. He tucked his hands behind him, allowing the chilling snowflakes to land on his face.

“Today is such nice weather!”

Chu He let out a warm breath.

He was in a nice mood that day.

Regardless of the weather, he could feel comfortable whatever the case.

It had been ten years!

After accumulating for more than ten years, and going into isolation for one month, he managed to break through into the realm of the Fourth Turn just a moment ago.

His cultivation had increased. Even though it was just a natural event, it still made one feel thrilled.

“Lil Chu, you finally ended your isolation?”

Lin Xueling, who had been standing guard at the courtyard beside for a month, revealed a joyful expression as she jumped over to him with just a single step.

Chu He did not need anyone to watch over him when he was isolating himself.

That would be meaningless, after all.

He did not inform Lin Xueling that he was going into isolation. He merely asked her to take over his job to serve the other people of the Lin family while he locked himself up in the book depository for a period of time.

Then, he immediately placed several layers of formations inside and started isolating himself from the world.

The signs led Lin Xueling to the conclusion that Chu He had gone into isolation. Her intelligence was the only reason she managed to guess correctly.

“Yup!”

Chu He nodded with a smile.

Even though he never took the initiative to expose his cultivation, and never even revealed everything when he spoke, on this day he felt he no longer needed to sneak around.

Given his current ability, he was not afraid of other people learning a bit about his ability, even if the news spread throughout the entire Xia clan.

It would be fine as long as they did not know the full extent of it.

It was just like describing his realm in a manner that did not make sense at all. He would not expose the entire situation outright. ‘It will be fine if I just make it vague and no one will be able to see through it!’

Currently, he was in the Fourth Turn cultivation. If he were to take action and deal with the Celestial Realm of the Great Wasteland in front of a crowd, he would be able to expose his abilities as the Ultimate Demi-King. 2

That was nothing.

Of course, he would not go out of his way to steal the spotlight. He would at most expose the abilities of this level when others came forth to look for trouble. It would still be best if no one sought any trouble.

‘It’s always better to live a carefree life without any troubles.’

“Lil Chu, I need to head over to Annan for some time!” said Lin Xueling.

“Be careful. If anything happens, open up the pouches that I gave you.”

Chu He nodded and did not say anything save for that single reminder.

Ten years ago, Lin Xueling broke through into the Genuine King Realm, and Chu He did not stop her from demonstrating her abilities in public.

In no time, the people of Lin family had all learned of the fact that she had broken through into the Demi-King Realm.

All of them thought that Lin Xueling was a demi-king. Never once anyone thought of, nor dared to consider that she could be a genuine king.

Even though her combat skills were insane, everyone just thought that she was a natural devil who was stronger than the lord.

It was a given for her to have such overwhelming combating skills.

Later on, as the strongest powerhouse of the Lin family, she shouldered a responsibility-to lead the entire Lin family.

Annan was the borderline for the Xia clan.

It was the Defensive Zone of the Lin, Ji, and Tianshan Swordsman Tribe.

A long time ago, when the elder of Lin family suffered a heavy injury and the annihilation of the Zhennan Military Troops occurred, only the Ji family and Tianshan Swordsman Tribe were left in the Defensive Zone, and they were suffering because of that.

After the death of Lin Zhennan, only the unknown Ultimate Demi-King who no one could find was left in the Lin family. Even if they wanted to come over to seek help, they could not find anyone and dared not describe the full severity of their situation. Hence, the incident just kept dragging on.

However, once Lin Xueling’s ability was exposed, they no longer wanted to stay still!

At the end of the day, the Lin family still occupied a part of Annan.

The Lin family had such a huge Lin Commandery. Hence, they should be contributing their efforts as well!

Their three commanderies were all guarding a piece of land. That was their responsibility and the task they were given.

The Lin family had lost their Zhennan Military Troop, and the Lin Commandery had experienced turmoil, and their mid-tier military force had wilted and needed time to regain power. The other clans understood and empathized with their situation.

However, now that there were two demi-king powerhouses in the Lin family boosting their military forces, the other clans would not tolerate it if they did not contribute to guarding the land.

For the past years, it was always three demi-kings who would take turns to guard the land of Annan.

Two demi-kings would stand guard and while the other would take turns going home.

It had been more than 20 years since the incident involving Lin Zhennan. The two elder demi-kings of Ji family and Tianshan Swordsman Tribe had been forced to stay at Annan ever since, and naturally they were unsatisfied with it.

After some discussion, Lin Xueling began her journey over to Annan to take her shift of guarding.
