Chapter 5: A group goes to the door to get beaten up!
As dusk fell, when Shi Tie dragged his nearly broken body back to the academy, he happened to run into Xiao Chenyu and his group at the gate.
"Hey, isn't this the apprentice of our good-for-nothing 'gatekeeper'? What happened? Did you fail to learn your skills and end up turning yourself into a dog? Haha..." Xiao Chenyu and his group mocked without any attempt to hide their sarcasm.
"That's true. How good can the students taught by this good-for-nothing be? He's a useless piece of trash, not even guarding his own gate, yet he dares to dream of instructing others in cultivation. Has his brain been kicked by a donkey?"
"That's right, the key is that someone actually wants to become his apprentice. This big waste teaching a little waste, it's quite a good experiment!"
"..."
Shi Tie ignored the mockery of the crowd, only looked up and gave them a cold look. The calmness and ferocity hidden in his eyes made Xiao Chenyu feel a sudden chill in his heart!
There's something different about this kid's eyes!
"Get out of the way!" Shi Tie said without any politeness!
"Hmph, after training with that good-for-nothing Lin Mu for a whole day, he didn't learn a single skill, but he's certainly grown bolder, daring to talk to us like that!"
For some reason, every time Xiao Chenyu saw Shi Tie's stubborn temper and his unyielding appearance, he couldn't help but want to punch him!
This might be because he's used to being the boss, and he feels a lack of accomplishment when someone doesn't listen to him!
"I see you're only happy when you get a beating! Perfect, I didn't get enough yesterday, so I'll make up for it today!"
This time, Xiao Chenyu didn't waste any time and directly ordered his underlings behind him. Immediately, several of them rushed towards Shi Tie!
At this moment, Shi Tie had no ability to resist. Even when he was in good condition, he was no match for them, let alone now that he was sore and weak all over, he had no means of fighting back!
As expected, Shi Tie was knocked to the ground by the crowd, and then a barrage of punches and kicks came his way!
However, to Shi Tie's surprise, the attacks that used to make him collapse and clutch his stomach were now completely painless!
In fact, what Shi Tie felt more deeply than their punches and kicks was the soreness coming from inside his body, rather than the external pain!
Since I successfully drew upon a wisp of spiritual energy last night to temper my meridians, my ability to withstand blows seems to have improved considerably. At least for now, I can't feel any pain at all!
"Heh, not strong enough! Xiao Chenyu, is that all you've got? You're a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong. You think you can make me submit to you? You're not worthy!" Shi Tie said directly, hitting Xiao Chenyu's weak spot without any politeness!
That's right, Xiao Chenyu is indeed a bully who preys on the weak and fears the strong. Those who can't beat him will be bullied as much as they can, such as Shi Tie and Wang Sheng, and of course, many other poor work-study students!
He would deliberately avoid those he couldn't beat, such as Tang San and Xiao Wu!
Being publicly looked down upon by a good-for-nothing enraged Xiao Chenyu. He immediately punched Shi Tie in the stomach, sending him flying several meters away, before angrily shouting:
"How dare you, a loser, look down on me? No matter what I do, I can still beat you up! You know what? What I like to see the most is your unconvinced look but you can't do anything to me, haha...! You'd better pray that you don't meet me during the college exam in three days. I'm afraid I won't be able to help but beat you to death!"
"Haha... No wonder he's Boss Xiao! We'll definitely teach this kid a lesson!" the crowd echoed.
Xiao Chenyu spat at Shi Tie with a fierce but weak expression, and before leaving, he turned back to give him a final word of advice:
"Oh, right, remember to tell your useless master to wear something warmer tomorrow. His little frame isn't as tough as yours! Haha... Let's go!"
……
The attacks from the group did not cause any damage to Shi Tie. After returning to the work-study dormitory and washing up quickly, he fell asleep immediately!
Even in his sleep, his body continued to twitch slightly and rhythmically. It was his physical body instinctively adapting to the training he had undergone that day, and his blood and qi were slowly nourishing the damage to his body with the help of the elixirs.
And a faint, almost imperceptible wisp of earthy-yellow spiritual energy slowly seeped into his skin from all directions.
The body is absorbing spiritual energy on its own, which is clearly a sign that it is about to begin cultivating immortality!
……
The next day, Shi Tie appeared on the back mountain as usual.
The aches and pains had long since disappeared, replaced by an indescribable feeling of refreshment. He had slept soundly last night!
I was still doing horse stance today, but it was much easier than yesterday!
Although it still caused him excruciating pain, making him grimac and drenched in sweat, this time, after enduring a full hour, he did not collapse to the ground but was still able to barely stand.
While squatting in a horse stance, he was also constantly circulating the Primordial Overlord Body Technique in his mind. Now he was able to skillfully control the spiritual energy to circulate a complete cycle in his meridians!
He could even clearly sense that he was just one step away from entering the first level of body refinement!
Lin Mu nodded to himself. The more he looked at Shi Tie, the more he liked him! His resilience had far exceeded his expectations.
While talent is certainly important on the path of body refinement, Shi Tie's ruthlessness is the key to his future success.
After a short rest, Shi Tie began to follow Lin Mu's instructions and guided the spiritual energy to cleanse his limbs in a special posture.
The feeling was like having two red-hot iron files constantly grinding against his bones, causing him so much pain that he almost fainted.
Just then, a loud commotion suddenly erupted from the entrance to the back mountain, the sound growing louder as it approached:
"Cousin, this is it! Lin Mu and Shi Tie, those two good-for-nothings, must be here!"
Xiao Chenyu led seven or eight people toward Lin Mu and his companion.
The leader was a young man of about seventeen or eighteen, wearing the uniform of an advanced soul master academy, with an arrogant expression.
Beneath his feet, two spirit rings, one white and one yellow, hovered prominently. Behind him was the phantom of a raging giant bear with bristling fur, its imposing aura making the surrounding air feel heavier!
Liu Qing, a level 26 offensive-type Battle Soul Master! Martial Soul: Berserk Giant Bear!
"Cousin, look, that's the guy sitting there. He's the good-for-nothing gatekeeper at our academy that I told you about—Lin Mu!"
Xiao Chenyu pointed at Lin Mu, who was sitting cross-legged on a blue stone with his eyes closed, and said fiercely to the man next to him.
Liu Qing followed the gaze and saw that the other person looked to be about the same age as him, but he could not sense any fluctuations of soul power from him.
Then look at the child next to him, whose posture is strange, as if he is being tortured. The contempt in his eyes is obvious!
"Xiaoyu, are you talking about these two bastards?" Liu Qing's voice was very rough, and his tone was full of undisguised contempt: "Two pieces of trash who don't even have spirit rings actually managed to hurt you? You're really getting worse as you get older."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chenyu blushed and quickly retorted, "Cousin, that kid's attacks are a bit strange, his strength is really odd! You mustn't be too careless!"
"Alright, alright, no more excuses!" Liu Qing waved his hand impatiently, then stepped forward and looked down at Lin Mu, shouting:
"Hey, you, the gatekeeper, are you the one who injured my cousin?"
