In the Solid Rock Martial Arts Establishment, Chen Heng was respectful towards Liu Ruhai.
He was very friendly to his Senior Apprentice Brothers and Junior Apprentice Brothers. Whether it was to ordinary disciples or to Liu Ruhai"s other disciples, he was always very courteous and would always think from the perspectives of others, making him well-liked.
Hearing that he was going to leave for a while, there were many people to see him off.
In response, Chen Heng conversed with each and every one of them, which took up a few days, before he left.
Before leaving, he looked at the Solid Rock Martial Arts Establishment"s name board and lightly sighed.
In the past, he had wanted to use the Solid Rock Martial Arts Establishment"s power to walk to the core of this world.
However, now that he had joined the Protectors and obtained that information, it seemed that there was no longer a need for this.
Given that this world was so strange and chaotic, what use would reaching the core be?
Compared to the Solid Rock Martial Arts Establishment, the Protectors was a higher platform.
Even if Chen Heng still wanted to reach the core of this world, the Protectors would be a more suitable place than the Solid Rock Martial Arts Establishment.
Chen Heng had already had a look, and the Protectors" library had far more precious records.
Even some of the secret Body Forging Techniques, such as the Solid Rock Body Forging Technique, could be found in the archives.
No matter what Chen Heng wanted to do or to obtain, the Protectors was a better place for him.
After understanding this, Chen Heng made the decision to take leave from Liu Ruhai and depart.
He had already cultivated the Solid Rock Body Forging Technique to the highest degree in the Sorcerer World, and his level was only slightly lower than that of Liu Ruhai.
In terms of strength, he had already surpa.s.sed Liu Ruhai.
If he continued to stay in the Solid Rock School, he would not be able to benefit much.
Since this was the case, it was better for him to leave and go elsewhere.
After leaving the martial arts establishments, Chen Heng did not go to the Demon Resistance Department to carry out tasks like he said he would and instead secretly returned to Lin City.
Compared to the outside world, Lin City was just a small city and was not as prosperous as other cities, nor was it as bustling.
This city was peaceful and calm, and it was not as fast-faced as other places.
However, to Chen Heng, this was a special place.
Whether it was his past life or now, this was his home and where he had started out.
This was the most important place to him, and it had many of his important memories of his family and friends.
As such, Chen Heng travelled directly from the Solid Rock Martial Arts Establishment to Lin City.
When he reached his home, everything was still mostly the same.
However, there were still some things that had changed.
On the gates of the neighbourhood, there was a large banner.
"A hearty congratulations to student Chen entering the Solid Rock Martial Arts Establishment."
The large banner was very eye-catching.
Seeing this banner, Chen Heng"s mouth twitched, not knowing what to say.
The Solid Rock School was a famous martial arts school, and the Solid Rock Body Forging Technique was quite famous too.
Those who could join the Solid Rock School were all elites, and this was even more so for someone like Chen Heng, who had directly become the Master"s direct disciple.
As such, it was normal for such a thing to be advertised.
Chen Heng could still remember that when he had left his school, his school"s reaction was even more exaggerated and almost lit up fireworks.
Chen Heng silently shook his head as he walked forwards.
After he walked for a while, the people around him began to notice him.
"Isn"t this the Heng boy from the Chen family?"
An aunty came out to buy groceries and her face lit up as she said, "Didn"t you enter that martial arts establishment? Why are you back?"
"I just came back to see my family," Chen Heng said as he smiled.
After a while, the neighbors in the surroundings came over to chat with Chen Heng.
By now, Chen Heng had become somewhat of a celebrity here.
Chen Heng had grown up here, and many people had watched him grow up.
Seeing him come back, they naturally had to have a good chat with him.
In response, Chen Heng smiled and responded to all of their questions.
After a while, Chen Heng"s mother, w.a.n.g Li, heard about this and hurriedly came out.
"Get out of my way!"
She swung her hands out, "Let my son come home!"
After making it through to Chen Heng, she dragged him back home.
Their home was still the same and nothing much had changed.
Chen Heng felt quite nostalgic.
Following this, Chen Heng looked at w.a.n.g Li.
He remembered that before he had left, he had given more than half of the money that the Solid Rock Martial Arts Establishment had given him to w.a.n.g Li.
Based on the current property prices, that money should be enough to buy a house.
However, it was evident that w.a.n.g Li had not spent that money.
"You can"t rashly spend money."
It was as if she could tell what Chen Heng was thinking as she shook her head, "I"m saving that money for you, for when you get married and buy a house.
"It"s still too early to use it," she said as she smiled.
Hearing this, Chen Heng shook his head, not knowing what to say.
As expected, no matter when it was, what parents cared most about was their children"s marriage.
However, w.a.n.g Li had miscalculated.
From what Chen Heng remembered, in his past life, from the next day onwards, house prices would madly rise for a while.
If w.a.n.g Li used that money now to buy a house, she could buy a decent one; in the future, it would only be enough to serve as a deposit.
That was the case for the previous world, and it would most likely be the case in this one too.
In fact, it was difficult to say if this city could even last until then.
w.a.n.g Li"s plans most likely would not come into fruition.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng inwardly shook his head.
"That"s right," w.a.n.g Li continuously hurried about, putting Chen Heng"s luggage away, "Lil Heng, didn"t you go to that martial arts establishment? Why did you come back so quickly? Do you not like it there?"
"That"s not the case," Chen Heng shook his head, "It"s just that I"m on holiday so I came back to visit."
"Well it"s good that you"re back."
w.a.n.g Li smiled, "Your father"s never home and with you not at home, it gets quite boring by myself."
In Chen Heng"s family, his mother was a full-time housewife while his step-father was a freight transport driver, so he often was not home.
As for Chen Heng"s big sister Chen Jing, her relations.h.i.+p with w.a.n.g Li had never been good, so she did not come back much and usually went to stay with her paternal grandfather.
As such, normally, it was just w.a.n.g Li.
"I"ll be staying for a while this time," Chen Heng said softly as he looked at w.a.n.g Li before asking, "Where"s big sis?"
w.a.n.g Li said, "Oh, her. She came back once yesterday and is probably out playing right now."
Chen Heng nodded and did not follow up on this subject.
He knew clearly that the relations.h.i.+p between w.a.n.g Li and Chen Jing was not very good, so there was no point asking much.
He could just find Chen Jing himself later.
Chen Heng chatted with w.a.n.g Li in the living room for a while before going to his room.
Before getting up, he took a good look at w.a.n.g Li.
As expected, just like everyone else, there was a dense deathly aura above her.
This meant that she would not be able to escape the calamity either.
Looking at this, Chen Heng inwardly sighed.
After finding about some secrets of this world, he had immediately left the Solid Rock Martial Arts Establishment and returned home because he wanted to protect his family.
In this world, many things were illusory and meaningless; only his family were the things most precious to him.
All other things paled in comparison.
Often, Chen Heng worked hard so he could obtain more things and become more powerful.
However, this did not mean that he did not care about his family.
In actuality, for him, his family was the most precious thing to him.
Everything he did was essentially so that he and his family could live better lives. That was all.
As such, after finding out about the secret of his world, he immediately came back here.
From the information from the Protectors, Chen Heng"s strength was incredibly powerful now, and it would be difficult for him to find an enemy who was as strong as him.
However, his family were just ordinary people.
If they encountered any abnormalities or demons, the outcome would be quite bad.
This was why he had immediately returned.
After all, to him, there was not much he could obtain at the Solid Rock Martial Arts Establishment anymore.
Following this, Chen Heng returned to his room. His room was still the same, but it was very clean and was most likely regularly cleaned.
After sitting in his room for a while, Chen Heng took out his phone and messaged Chen Jing.
Soon, he received a message back, and he got up and went out.
He walked quite quickly and soon arrived at a street.
In the distance, a few girls stood there.
"Ah Jing, did your little brother really come back?" Chen Heng was standing underneath a streetlight and looked at her phone as she glanced around.
There were a few girls around her, asking out of curiosity.
"Didn"t your little brother go to the Solid Rock Martial Arts Establishment? Why did he come back so quickly?"
"What does he look like? I have a little sister who"s quite interested in him," hey continuously asked her questions, sounding quite curious.
The Lin City was just a small city and only had a few hundred thousand people; it was quite rare for geniuses to appear here.
Moreover, Chen Heng was the most outstanding genius in recent years.
Whether it was the fact that he had Body Forging Completion cultivation at 17 years old or that big battle, there were all kinds of legends about him.
As such, Chen Heng had become quite famous in the city; many people knew about him.
This naturally included the girls around Chen Jing.
In fact, a few of them were close with Chen Jing precisely because of this.
Chen Jing naturally knew what they were thinking.
"Alright, alright, he"ll come soon and you can have a look for yourselves," she said out of annoyance as she continued to look around.
Soon, she suddenly looked into the distance, where a young man was gradually coming closer.
The young man wore a short-sleeved s.h.i.+rt and looked quite handsome and unique.
He was only 17 or 18 years old but gave off a special aura.
Looking at the young man, Chen Jing smiled and waved.
Seeing Chen Jing, the young man paused for a moment before smiling.
"So you"re part of the Demon Resistance Department? And you have a pretty high position?"
Chen Jing and Chen Heng walked side by side as they chatted.
"In a sense, yes," Chen Heng said.
Technically speaking, this was true. He was indeed part of the Demon Resistance Department, and was a Protector, which was one of the highest positions.
Looking at him nodding, the people behind Chen Heng all looked at him with admiration.
Even though they did not know much about Liu Ruhai or the Solid Rock School, to be able to join the Demon Resistance Department was a grand achievement for most ordinary people.
To them, joining the Demon Resistance Department was a good path and had a lot of security.
For Chen Heng to join the Demon Resistance Department at such a young age and take a high position, it was very admirable.
"If you want, I can also see if I can get you in."
Looking at Chen Jing, Chen Heng smiled, "You just play around all day; it"s not too good. If you have a job at the Demon Resistance Department, you won"t have nothing to do anymore."
"Can you really do that?"
Hearing Chen Heng"s words, Chen Jing felt quite shocked, "I can also get in?"
"It shouldn"t be a problem," Chen Heng said as he smiled and nodded.
Back when he had joined the Protectors, Bi Yi and the others said that one of the rights he had was to recommend some people to join the Demon Resistance Department.
Moreover, given that Chen Heng was quite powerful, he was already an A cla.s.s Protector and had greater authority than ordinary Protectors.
As for the problem of safety, he was not too worried.
The Demon Resistance Department was quite a large department and was not just responsible for fighting.
There were also many administrators who did management.
As such, it would not be too dangerous for Chen Jing to join.
At the very least, Chen Jing could stop living such an idle life.
Moreover, it would be easier for Chen Heng to take care of her.
"Then… Can you try for me?" Chen Jing felt quite nervous as she asked.
Chen Heng readily agreed.
Following this, they continued to stroll on the street.
It was just that after a while, Chen Heng suddenly looked to the side.
In the distance, there were a few girls walking towards them.
One of them wore a white dress and had pretty looks.
This girl was Fang Jingxuan.
After the matter from before, everything had returned to normal.
Under Liu Yi"s recommendation, Chen Heng had entered the Solid Rock School, learning from Liu Ruhai, while Fang Jingxuan continued to go to school here.
After all, she was different from Chen Heng and was still a student.
When Chen Heng saw Fang Jingxuan, she also saw him.
When they saw each other, she looked quite surprised as she stood far away, looking at Chen Heng.
"Don"t tell me you came back just for this woman."
Looking at Fang Jingxuan, Chen Jing looked at Chen Heng, looking somewhat displeased.
Chen Heng did not say anything and only shook his head.
In the end, he only smiled at Fang Jingxuan and nodded.
Following this, they greeted each other before going their separate ways.
Everything was very calm.
