From Cellar to Throne: Zen's Quest for Immortality novel Chapter 15

Cousin...

Zen hadn't heard anyone call him 'Cousin' in a long time.

He remembered when Andrew was younger, he would chase Zen all around the Luo residence, calling him 'Cousin Zen'.

If anyone bullied Andrew, he would seek Zen's help.

When Zen heard the word 'Cousin', he couldn't help but be transported back to a time in his childhood that was filled with sweet memories. What a beautiful time it had been!

He never dreamed that when he grew up, family fights would break out in the Luo Clan and his father and his uncles would be estranged. These past two years had been tragic indeed.

Zen nodded and changed his address as well. "Cousin Andrew, let's start!"

"Well, it is said that you haven't accepted your identity as a slave. I found that hard to believe. But now that you're addressing me as 'Cousin', it seems as though the rumors are true. I called you 'Cousin Zen' as a test. Did you really think you have the same privilege? Ha ha ha! I'm going to end this today! You will die by my hand." With that said, Andrew sneered and suddenly gave off an aggressive appearance.

Upon hearing the insulting remarks by Andrew, a wave of anger swelled in Zen's heart. His face became cold and indifferent. All traces of residual family affection in his heart vanished!

Andrew covered his whole body with purple lights. After taking a cursory step forward, he rushed to attack Zen.

"Bang!"

The energy Andrew channeled hit Zen on his chest. The force was so strong that Zen felt unbalanced. He took a few steps to steady himself. It was obvious that Andrew had reached the bone refining level by virtue of the Magic Pill.

Over the past few days, Zen had been disappointed with the rate of refining. His body had strengthened so much that when the Luo children hit Zen, his body did not produce the warm currents he needed to continue refining his bones. However, Andrew had struck him so hard that Zen's body produced the warm currents.

A small smile played on Zen's lips as he welcomed the opportunity to remove more impurities from his body.

The feeling of warm currents flowing through his body, removing pollutants, and healing his core, was so cool!

While Zen was secretly pleased, Andrew drew on his rage to attack Zen with all his strength. He didn't want to give Zen any reprieve.

He threw a short straight punch at Zen's chest, followed by a powerful fist. Before Zen could react, Andrew directed a bursting strength at Zen's body.

Andrew then bombarded Zen with a combination of an elbow attack, a side kick, and a front snap kick...

All sorts of fierce attacks were aimed at Zen.

Streams of warm currents flowed between Zen's bones. Their intensity was such that it felt as though floodgates had opened. Zen could feel the impurities in his bones being squeezed out and washed away, little by little, by the warm currents.

"Well done! Just kill him, Master Andrew!" Grey Huang shouted and screamed from outside the arena. He looked excited, as though he were beating Zen himself.

Some children from the Luo Clan were also cheering for Andrew. However, many children were standing still and silently praying for Zen.
