Chapter 12 – No More Pretense: The Truth Revealed

On this day, Lu Zhan and the other two came to Lu Chen's room together, not for anything else but because today was the day they had agreed upon to remove the bandages.

However, as soon as they entered the room, Lu Yi and Lu Kuang widened their eyes at Lu Chen.

At this moment, Lu Chen had already removed the bandages himself and changed into a clean blue robe.

Due to the cleansing from the Yin-Yang Canon, not only was there no scar left on Lu Chen's body, but his skin was as tender as a newborn's, so fair that it would make women envious.

Before being crippled, Lu Chen was already recognized as the most handsome man in Tianyuan City. Now, with his fair skin and deep eyes, Lu Chen appeared even more "beautiful."

But Lu Yi and Lu Kuang's expressions were not because of Lu Chen's appearance; it was because they could actually sense the fluctuation of spiritual power from Lu Chen.

It was well known that only martial artists could have spiritual power fluctuations. If Lu Chen now had such fluctuations, didn't that mean he was a martial artist?

But everyone in Tianyuan City knew that Lu Chen's meridians and dantian had been destroyed. How could he become a martial artist again?

"Chen... Chen'er, you... you have spiritual power!" Lu Yi couldn't believe his senses, his voice trembling as he spoke.

Lu Chen had already prepared his explanation for revealing his true strength and said with a smile, "Father, my dantian and meridians have recovered."

"Really?" Lu Kuang and Lu Yi were shocked.

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe it, Father and Fourth Uncle can check." With that, Lu Chen extended his hands to them.

The two were stunned for a moment, then simultaneously began to examine him. After a moment, they released their hands, looking at Lu Chen with excitement and disbelief.

Through their examination, they found that just as Lu Chen had said, his meridians had completely recovered, and there was a white dantian within him.

The only regret was that Lu Chen's martial path had fallen from the 7th-level Martial Master Realm before being crippled to the 1st-layer Martial Warrior Realm, a drop of fifteen minor realms.

However, to be in such a state after being crippled was already very good.

Lu Yi exclaimed excitedly, "Chen'er, how did this happen? Weren't you crippled? How have your dantian and meridians recovered?"

Lu Chen scratched his head, pretending to be confused, and said, "Father, I'm not really sure either. Just last night, while I was sleeping soundly, an old man with white hair suddenly appeared in my dream. He said he could help me restore my meridians and dantian and grant me a great fortune. When I woke up, I found that my dantian and meridians had recovered, and my martial realm had become the 1st-layer Martial Warrior Realm."

"This..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi and Lu Kuang exchanged glances. At this moment, the two of them thought of two pills: the Meridian Renewal Pill and the Grand Restoration Pill.

The Meridian Renewal Pill was a 5th-grade pill, rumored to repair a martial artist's broken meridians, while the 6th-grade Grand Restoration Pill could defy the heavens and reshape the dantian.

They never thought Lu Chen would deceive them, only believing that Lu Chen had encountered a master and, in a half-awake state, consumed the Meridian Renewal Pill and the Grand Restoration Pill, thus repairing his meridians and reshaping his dantian.

Seeing Lu Chen restored, Lu Kuang and Lu Yi first laughed heartily, then released all the emotions they had been holding back, hugging Lu Chen and crying loudly.

Lu Zhan, hearing that Lu Chen could cultivate again, stood to the side wiping his tears. He hadn't cried before because he didn't want Lu Chen to feel sad, but now he cried.

After a while, Lu Chen gently patted Lu Yi and Lu Kuang's backs, comforting them, "Father, Fourth Uncle, don't cry. It's all in the past."

Hearing this, the two wiped away their tears, and Lu Yi said seriously, "Chen'er, from today on, you are still a cripple with destroyed meridians and dantian."

Lu Kuang also said, "Chen'er, until you break through to the Martial King Realm, you must not let anyone know about the recovery of your meridians and dantian."

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "Father, I know what you and Fourth Uncle are worried about, but I don't want to hide. I want to show my true self."

Lu Yi frowned and said, "Chen'er, do you know who your opponent is?"

"The City Lord's Manor!" Lu Chen replied.

"Since you know, do you still dare to reveal yourself as a martial artist? Aren't you afraid the City Lord's Manor will harm you again?" Lu Yi asked.

Lu Chen said, "Father, the City Lord's Manor is strong, but as long as I don't leave Tianyuan City, they won't make a move against me. After all, they still need to maintain appearances."

Lu Kuang advised, "Chen'er, in my opinion, you should pretend to be a cripple. With your martial talent, it won't take long to seek revenge."

Lu Chen said seriously, "Fourth Uncle, there's no need for that. It's fine."

"Chen'er..."

Lu Kuang wanted to persuade further, but Lu Yi interrupted him, "Fourth Brother, you watched Chen'er grow up. You know his temperament. Don't persuade him anymore. Let's do as he says."

"Third Brother, but..."

"Enough!"

Lu Yi gently patted Lu Kuang's shoulder, then took out his storage ring and handed it to Lu Chen, "Chen'er, I have a thousand spirit crystals here. Make do with them."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Father, there's no need. I have spirit crystals."

Lu Kuang was puzzled. With the shops of the third branch gone and the Lu Family not providing resources, they had no income source. Where did Lu Chen get spirit crystals?

However, Lu Yi's eyes lit up, and his gaze at his son carried a meaningful smile.

He didn't force the spirit crystals on Lu Chen but naturally put them away, "Chen'er, since you don't need them, I won't insist."

"Third Brother, you can't just believe Chen'er like that." Lu Kuang was anxious.

Lu Yi smiled at Lu Chen and said, "Chen'er, since you're fine, focus on your cultivation. Your Fourth Uncle and I won't disturb you anymore."

With that, Lu Yi cheerfully hugged the frustrated Lu Kuang, and the three of them left together.

"Third Brother, you..."

"Let's go!"

Soon, Lu Yi and Lu Kuang's voices came from outside the door.

"Could it be that Father discovered something?" Watching Lu Yi's actions, Lu Chen suddenly felt as if his Martial Emperor identity had been seen through.

However, after a while, Lu Chen stopped thinking about Lu Yi because Lu Yi was his father, and even if he discovered something, he wouldn't harm him.

Thinking about the situation in Tianyuan City, Lu Chen changed into a loose black outfit, donned a black cloak, and quietly left the Lu Family.
