The Origin of the Bronze Temple

‘It’s the Yan family again,’ Lu Benwei thought to himself. He had a feeling that the Yan family was even more cunning than the Zhu family and the Qi family. It seemed like they had a layer of unspeakable secrets.

At this moment, Chu Bowen slowly walked to the coffee machine.

“But I chased him away. Since you’re in my school, you’re a student here.”

“Thank you, Principal Chu.” Lu Benwei nodded.

“It’s just a small matter.” Chu Bowen waved his hand and said, “You, on the other hand, caused quite a commotion last night.”

“I won’t offend anyone if they don’t offend me.” Lu Benwei shrugged indifferently.

“I don’t think I did anything wrong.”

“That’s true. Commander Chu is fighting a bloody battle in the outer realm. The eight great families are targeting Commander Chu’s beloved. But it’s a fact that you’ve offended the eight great families. What do you plan to do next?” Chu Bowen asked casually.

“I’m preparing to go out and train to improve myself!” Lu Benwei replied, “Last night, I was lucky enough to escape from the hands of the eight great families. It was just a trick. If I encounter them again, I must have true strength to fight them!”

Chu Bowen nodded, satisfied with Lu Benwei’s answer.

Lu Benwei wanted to go out and gain experience. It would solve a lot of internal and external problems for Yanjing Hunter University.

Apart from the Yan family, the eight great families had also sent people to Yanjing Hunter University to ask about Lu Benwei. The Yan family was the first to bear the brunt, looking as if they wanted to see the person alive or dead.

In the end, Chu Bowen chased them out with a broom. Chu Bowen was having a headache. This was only the first day.

Moreover, the students at Yanjing Hunter University had a lot of opinions about Lu Benwei.

From time to time, Chu Bowen would receive anonymous letters asking him to send Lu Benwei away.

Lu Benwei could go out to gain experience, which relieved a lot of pressure on him.

“When do you plan to leave? Alone or with Chu Yan?”

Lu Benwei thought for a moment and wanted to bring Chu Yan out to train.

However, he thought that Chu Yan’s path was different from his, so he turned around and dispelled this thought.

“I’ll do it myself!”

Chu Bowen stroked his thick beard and his eyes narrowed. “In that case, I’ll send you on your way. Follow me.”

He waved his hand and Chu Bowen led the way.

Lu Benwei followed behind him. After walking for a while, he realized that they were heading to the bell tower of Yanjing Hunter University.

That was also the core of the anti-magic array. The closer they went, the stronger the magic suppression effect. Even Lu Benwei was affected.

On the way, Chu Bowen suddenly asked, “By the way, where did you get that Bronze Temple?”

Before he could finish, Chu Bowen waved his hand again. “It’s fine if you don’t want to tell me. I’m just curious.”

Lu Benwei was stunned. He thought that the history of the Bronze Temple was very clear, and he would be able to figure it out with a little investigation.

“It was during the National Class Tournament,” he said, “It was during the semi-finals at the Chaotic Battlefield.”

Chu Bowen was a little enlightened and muttered, “No wonder the Yan family reacted so strongly. I see.”

Lu Benwei heard the hidden meaning in Chu Bowen’s words and asked, “Principal Chu, is the Bronze Temple related to the Yan family?”

Chu Bowen did not answer. Instead, he asked, “Lu Benwei, did the Bronze Temple have a powerful magic suppression array?”

“Yes!” Lu Benwei did not hide it.

Chu Bowen let out a breath of turbid air and began to explain to Lu Benwei.

This was the family established by the first batch of hunters who had reached level 99 since the start of the class advancement era.

In the long river of history, there were very few people who could reach level 99. In the same era, there would not be two level-99 hunters at the same time. Due to this, the eight great families became mysterious and prosperous until today.

Lu Benwei understood these secrets and was very puzzled.

“Then what’s going on with the Bronze Temple?” Lu Benwei asked again.

“That was after the dark years,” Chu Bowen continued, “After suppressing the monsters’ counterattack, people suggested that we must start by establishing schools to train hunters. Then, there was the proposal for the National Class Tournament.

“The eight great families took out the treasured weapons left behind by the ancestors of the ultimate contenders and created a secret realm. While the participants competed in the secret realm, they could also obtain the inheritance of the ultimate contenders.

“The eight great families have never sincerely taken out their real treasures, but they have never taken out those useless treasures. I have to praise them for this.”

After a pause, Chu Bowen’s mouth was a little dry from talking, so he took a sip of water.

“When it came to the Yan family, they felt that the items left behind by their ancestors were of great use to them. So they casually take out one of them and it was the Bronze Temple.”

Lu Benwei finally understood.

“In other words, the Bronze Temple was a treasure left behind by the Yan family’s ancestor, but the Yan family treated it as scrap metal?”

“Yes!” Chu Bowen replied.

Lu Benwei sneered.

“In the end, I discovered that the Bronze Temple was a supreme divine artifact.”

However, Lu Benwei was still very curious about the origins of the Bronze Temple.

Other than the three Bronze Buddha Monsters and tens of thousands of stigmata, the materials used to make the Bronze Temple were extraordinary. There was no other material in the world today that had traces of immortal nature.

Chu Bowen searched his mind and replied, “It’s said that he’s an ultimate king tier of the Yan family. He obtained something by chance when he was young and had been carrying it with him ever since.”

Chu Bowen paused for a moment before continuing, “The Yan family only realized how extraordinary it was after they found a small device that could create such a huge magic suppression array after they completed the creation of the secret realm.”

“I see.”

Lu Benwei finally understood the history of the Bronze Temple.

Presumably, the Yan family had also failed to steal a chicken and suffered a loss, losing such a supreme divine weapon in vain.

...

Now that he finally knew that the Bronze Temple was extraordinary, the Yan family’s head would probably wake up from his dream in anger.

“Oh, we’re here.”

Unknowingly, Lu Benwei and Chu Bowen arrived at the bell tower.

“Creak…”

The heavy door was slowly pushed open by Lu Benwei. The pigeons resting on the top of the bell tower flapped their wings and left in shock.

The interior of the bell tower was empty, like a huge abyss, swallowing all light and making it impossible to see one’s own fingers.

Lu Benwei looked back and realized that Chu Bowen had already disappeared. He only said, “Child, you’ve entered the Tower of Musashi. Go in!”

Lu Benwei looked at the space behind him and nodded. Then, he stepped into the bell tower.
