Chapter 562 A 3-Year-Old Child Battles Chen Bei

Chu Yu reached out and poked its dejected face, laughing, "Don't be sad. The name 'Rogue Dragon' is so unique. From now on, you'll be called Rogue Dragon. You'll be one of a kind in the whole world."

Pizi Long rolled his eyes listlessly and nestled on Chen Bei's shoulder like a purple scarf.

"My illustrious reputation... is ruined in an instant..."

From this moment on, the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon became the Rogue Dragon.

Chen Bei put the jade ruyi into his pocket. "Let's go, let's go outside first."

Pizi Long nodded repeatedly, his five little short claws clung to Chen Bei's clothes, and climbed up his shoulder.

It perched on Chen Bei's shoulder, looking completely at ease.

Chu Yu reached out and poked its face, laughing, "You really don't consider yourself an outsider dragon, do you?"

Pizi Long squinted, saying weakly, "I'm completely powerless right now. Where else can I go if I don't follow you guys? What if some stray cat or dog snatches me away?"

Chen Bei and Chu Yu exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh.

The two people and the dragon emerged from the underground palace. The sunlight was dazzling, and Chen Bei squinted and took a deep breath of the outside air.

"It's so comfortable outside, I miss that feeling so much." Pizi Long leaned on his shoulder like a purple scarf, and took a deep breath, sighing with emotion.

Chu Yu stretched, her palace dress accentuating her slender waist.

She turned to look at Chen Bei, her eyes still filled with the excitement of searching for treasure in the underground palace.

"Where do we go next?"

Chen Bei shook his head. He had only recently been resurrected and was completely clueless about this world.

Chu Yu's eyes darted around, then she suddenly clapped her hands and said, "How about we go to Tianfeng Academy?"

"Tianfeng Academy?" Chen Bei raised an eyebrow slightly.

Chu Yu nodded and said with great interest, "Yes, Tianfeng Academy. I heard they've come up with a new cultivation method that's completely different from current martial arts and magic. It's incredibly powerful, and a lot of people have gone to learn it. We happen to have some time, so why don't we go check it out?"

"The new law..." Chen Bei frowned, and Pizi Long also poked his head out from over his shoulder, his eyes also full of doubt.

"A new cultivation method? And completely different from the current one? Little girl, do you think cultivation methods are like cabbages growing on the roadside? That they just pop up anywhere?"

Chu Yu glared at it defiantly.

"What do you mean by 'just popping up anywhere'? Tianfeng Academy has real skills; I heard they were taught by a mysterious expert."

Pizi Long rolled his eyes. "How many years have I lived? What kind of cultivation methods haven't I seen? Martial arts, magic, battle qi, divine arts—they all boil down to the same principle. As for a completely new cultivation system, how easy is it to create one? How much talent and foundation would that require?"

It shook its head and looked quite old-fashioned.

"It's a lie, it's definitely a lie. You young people are so easily fooled."

Chen Bei didn't rush to a conclusion. He thought for a moment and said, "It wouldn't hurt to go and take a look. Tianfeng Academy has a great reputation. Even if the new method isn't that great, it's still good to learn something else."

Chu Yu nodded repeatedly, her face beaming with smiles, "That's right, that's right, anyway, there's nothing else to do."

When the rogue dragon saw that neither of them would listen to it, it angrily flicked Chen Bei's head with its tail.

"Fine, fine, go if you want. I want to see just how powerful this so-called new law really is."

The two people and the dragon set off and traveled for two days. On the evening of the third day, a violent energy fluctuation suddenly came from the horizon.

Amidst the radiant glow of dawn, an ancient portal slowly emerged from the void.

"Has a secret realm appeared?" Chu Yu's eyes lit up, and he instantly became interested. He loved treasure hunting the most.

Pizi Long stood up from Chen Bei's shoulder, squinting his dragon eyes at the portal. "The energy fluctuations are quite large; there's probably something good inside."

Chen Bei didn't say anything, but quickened his pace and hurried in that direction.

He had seen many similar secret realms in his previous life and knew that such places were full of opportunities, but also full of dangers.

But fortune favors the bold, and he urgently needs to improve his strength; he cannot afford to miss any opportunity.

……

Seven days later, the two people and the dragon emerged from the secret realm.

Chen Bei had several wounds on his body, but he was in high spirits, and his eyes shone with a restrained light, clearly indicating that he had gained a lot.

He obtained several spiritual herbs and a fragmented cultivation technique in the secret realm. More importantly, through a series of battles, his strength became more solid. The Chen family's cultivation technique emphasizes combat.

Chu Yu followed behind him, her face flushed with excitement.

Although she didn't obtain any extraordinary treasures, she did find a few decent magical artifacts.

The rogue dragon perched on his shoulder, chewing on a spiritual herb, and mumbled indistinctly, "It's alright. This secret realm has some merit, but the ferocious beasts are too weak. Back in the day, I could have killed a whole bunch of them with a single swipe of my tail."

Chu Yu reached out and flicked its head: "You can't even beat a wild cat now, stop bragging."

As soon as the three of them emerged from the exit of the secret realm, a chorus of voices arose around them.

"Look, that's Chen Bei!"

"Is this Chen Bei? I heard he single-handedly fought three ferocious beasts of the same level in the secret realm, killing them all within ten moves!"

"Not only that, I heard he even defeated a second-tier demonic beast."

"Second tier? He's only first tier, how can he be so strong in battles against opponents of a higher tier?"

"This is a peerless genius! How can ordinary cultivators compare? I think Chen Bei is definitely among the top in this generation!"

"That's for sure. Many geniuses in this secret realm were defeated by him. He's too strong."

It can be said that the appearance of this secret realm has greatly enhanced Chen Bei's reputation, allowing many people to witness what a genius truly is.

Chen Bei listened to the surrounding discussions with a calm expression. He had heard such things too many times in his previous life and no longer cared about them.

Chu Yu, however, held her chin high, looking as if she were proud of herself.

Pizi Long curled his lip and muttered under his breath, "A bunch of country bumpkins, and this is what they call impressive?"

Just as Chen Bei was about to leave, the crowd in front of him suddenly stirred.

"Huh? What's that? Why is there a child?"

"Whose child is this? Where are the adults? Who's so careless as to bring their child to such a dangerous place?"

Chen Bei looked up and frowned slightly. In the crowd, a little boy of about three years old was walking towards them.

The child was fair-skinned and tender, with a round face and chubby cheeks. His big eyes were round and bright, like two pieces of amber.

The little guy was wearing a golden robe, and he walked with a swaying gait, looking incredibly adorable.

"So cute!" Chu Yu's eyes lit up, and her maternal instincts shone through instantly.

The rogue dragon also stretched its neck, a hint of doubt flashing in its dragon eyes.

"This kid... something feels off about him?"

Chen Bei looked at the child and felt something was wrong. This was a forest full of monsters, so how could there be a child here?

The little boy walked up to Chen Bei, looked up at him with his bright, sparkling eyes.

"You're Chen Bei?"

His voice was sweet and adorable, yet it carried a maturity beyond his years.

Chen Bei paused for a moment, then squatted down, trying to make his line of sight level with the child.

"I am Chen Bei. Who are you? Where are your parents?"

The little boy didn't answer his question, but instead tilted his head and looked him over.

"As long as you are Chen Bei, that's enough. I came here to find you."

"Looking for me? What do you want? Little kid, I don't know you!" Chen Bei was stunned, his face full of doubt. He thought about it carefully and realized that he had never seen this child before.

Pizi Long perched on Chen Bei's shoulder, his eyes darting around, and he chuckled mischievously.

"Hehehe, kid Chen, this isn't some old woman's seed, is it? Is that why they've come knocking on your door!"
