My Apprentice Is Too Diligent

Chapter 57: Silence the Witness, Destroy the Body! (Seeking Subscriptions)

On the disciple information panel, an additional column unexpectedly appeared.

Enlightenment?

Chen Wuji focused his attention.

Hum~

His brain trembled slightly, and when he regained consciousness, a cluster of information appeared out of thin air in his mind.

The so-called enlightenment aims to awaken one's potential!

It is a function specifically for disciples.

It comprehensively enhances and transforms everything from the physical body to the soul.

The aspects in which the disciples originally excelled will also improve accordingly.

This includes their talents.

Of course, each improvement is minimal.

Once a month, only one person can be enlightened at a time.

But this is the frequency for those in the True Qi Realm.

If Chen Wuji breaks through to the Ascending Heaven Realm, the number of enlightenments per month will increase to two, without limitation on the same person.

In short, the higher the cultivation level, the more frequent the enlightenments.

"What a wonderful awakening of potential!"

After understanding what it was all about, Chen Wuji clapped his hands in excitement and stood up, pacing in his study.

This enlightenment came at just the right time.

Previously, Chen Wuji had thought that he relied on cheats to improve his cultivation, but his disciples couldn't keep up, resulting in an ever-widening gap.

They couldn't assist him in subsequent martial arts cultivation.

For example, pure True Qi Realm martial arts that couldn't be activated without sufficient blood and qi required several disciples to also break through to the True Qi Realm in order to practice and assist Chen Wuji.

The problem was that, except for Nan Jinyu, who had the Sword Dao talent, the other six disciples couldn't catch up at all.

As Chen Wuji's speed of improvement increased, these six would fall further and further behind.

But now, with the enlightenment function, several disciples could quickly improve while following behind Chen Wuji.

"Disciples assist the master, and the master enlightens the disciples."

"Tsk!"

Regaining his composure, Chen Wuji smiled and smacked his lips in admiration.

"One enlightenment per month in the True Qi Realm. Who should I enlighten this month?"

After thinking about it, he decided to arrange it according to the order of their entry.

So, the first one to be enlightened would be Su Dayong!

Thinking of this, Chen Wuji looked around, made up his mind, went down to the training room, took a Body Tempering Pill, crushed it, and put it in an empty cup, then poured tea over it.

He stirred the tea, completely blending the pill into it.

Holding the teacup, Chen Wuji left the study and found Su Dayong.

"Drink it."

"Huh? Oh." Su Dayong, who was busy with something, put down what he was doing, took the teacup, and drank it all without asking any questions.

"Thank you, Master."

"Hmm." Chen Wuji nodded, took back the cup, and turned to leave.

Leaving Su Dayong standing there, puzzled.

Little did he know...

While Chen Wuji walked back, he initiated the enlightenment on Su Dayong's panel.

Performing it for the first time, he was afraid of any anomalies.

After turning around the corner, Chen Wuji stopped and listened for any movement from Su Dayong.

As a result, he waited for half an hour but nothing unusual happened.

"It seems that this enlightenment is a silent and gradual improvement."

Chen Wuji realized.

Holding the teacup, he slowly returned to the study.

Silent and gradual, that's good.

If it doesn't have any impact, it won't attract attention.

The current Hidden Dragon Gate.

Whether it's Chen Wuji as the master or the seven disciples, including Su Dayong and Han Ying, they all need to endure and develop slowly.

...

Night.

Chen Wuji practiced the Dragon Gate Primordial Origin Technique in the training room for a while, continuing to refine his essence and transform it into qi, gradually improving his cultivation.

When the time was almost up, he stopped and left the secret room, changing into his night clothes.

Flashing his figure, Chen Wuji climbed over the wall and left the Chen Family courtyard, heading straight for the headquarters of the Qingye Gang.

Zhang Keyan said that he would eliminate any future troubles.

But just in case, Chen Wuji still decided to go and take a look.

After all, the leader of the Qingye Gang, Wu Zhong, was a formidable expert at the Eighth Layer of Body Refining.

Swoosh~ Swoosh!

Taking advantage of the night, he flew like a ghost.

Soon, Chen Wuji arrived at a tall building near the Qingye Gang's base. He crawled on the ground, hiding in the dark attic, and looked over at the Qingye Gang's base from a distance.

The county town had already imposed a curfew.

Inside the Qingye Gang's base, however, there was a bustling crowd, and torches illuminated most of the area.

Listening to the wind, Chen Wuji heard a group of people arguing and discussing.

They were discussing how to form alliances with other forces to destroy the Zhang family and Chen Wuji's Hidden Dragon Gate.

"Wu Zhong really dares to think, huh?"

"He thinks that by swallowing most of the territory left by the Xiong Gang, he can consider himself the number one force in the county?"

Listening to the faint arguments in the wind, Chen Wuji couldn't help but find it amusing.

No wonder Wu Qingzhou, this son of his, was so arrogant and looked down on others.

"Indeed, there are countless ways to seek death, and the fastest one is to bring it upon oneself!"

Chen Wuji gazed at the Qingye Gang's base, his eyes filled with amusement.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, figures dressed in night clothes suddenly flashed out from the darkness, surrounding the Qingye Gang's base.

"They're here!"

Chen Wuji's spirits rose as he focused his gaze.

He watched as these black-clothed figures silently climbed over the walls and entered the Qingye Gang's base, each holding a cylindrical hidden weapon.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh~

Only the faint sound of breaking wind could be heard as the Qingye Gang members scattered throughout the base were quickly shot down.

By the time the high-ranking members of the Qingye Gang inside the house realized something was wrong, most of the lower-ranking members had already been killed.

A group of people exclaimed and roared, initially wanting to kill the black-clothed figures. However, they didn't expect that more than half of the black-clothed figures were at the Mid-stage of Body Refining, and there were even five at the Late-stage of Body Refining.

Wu Zhong and the other high-ranking members of the Qingye Gang were simply no match for them. After only two rounds of fighting, they gave up and tried to escape.

However, it was already too late to escape at this point.

Under Chen Wuji's gaze, including Wu Zhong, everyone persisted for less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before they were all killed.

The black-clothed figures didn't forget to finish them off one by one.

After checking to make sure there were no survivors, they began to carry the bodies and pile them up in the courtyard.

When the pile was almost complete, two black-clothed figures carried a large black wooden barrel and walked to the pile of bodies. Using ladles made from gourds, they scooped out unknown liquid and poured it onto the bodies.

Chen Wuji watched from a distance as the piles of bodies quickly dissolved under the coverage of the unknown liquid.

Corpse-dissolving water?

Decaying corpse liquid?

Regardless of what it was, it could only be said that the Zhang family had prepared thoroughly enough.

First, eliminate any witnesses, then destroy the bodies!

Chen Wuji didn't look at the battlefield anymore.

He withdrew his gaze and turned to leave.

The Qingye Gang was completely wiped out, leaving no future troubles.

"The Xiong Gang, the Big Knife Gang, and the Qingye Gang."

"The three major gangs in the county town, two have been destroyed, leaving only the Big Knife Gang. Won't they become the only one? The number one?"

On the way, Chen Wuji thought with great interest.

...

The next morning, early in the morning.

Zhang Keyan, as promised, brought a group of people carrying two large boxes of gifts to the Chen Family courtyard to present them as gratitude to Chen Yifan.

Fifteen thousand taels of silver notes.

Three thousand eight hundred taels of silver.

Two long swords and a broadsword made of refined iron.

Three well-known martial arts manuals.

Various jewelry and accessories.

And a large pile of Body Tempering pills and blood-strengthening soup.

Chen Wuji looked at them and glanced strangely at Zhang Keyan.

"Wow."

If he guessed correctly, these things should be the spoils of war that the Zhang family collected from the Qingye Gang's base last night!

There are still two more updates during the day.
