Chapter 138: Chapter 141 How is that possible?
He was confident that the moment Xiao Yi’s hand touched his, would be the very moment he’d be crippled!
However, just as this thought had not yet settled, his expression changed!
His hands had come into contact with Xiao Yi’s!
But he didn’t hear the screams of agony he expected from Xiao Yi. The scene where Xiao Yi was crippled, lying on the ground, didn’t occur. The thrilling sensation of his powerful energy crashing through the opponent’s body like a force of destruction didn’t come!
What he felt was an endless, boundless force!
A might carrying the force of devastation, like the fiercest whirl of electricity, cruelly devoured the energy he had mustered with all his might in an instant. Following that, that same torrent of energy mercilessly surged into his body, through channel after channel of his meridians.
"Ah!"
The young man’s face was instantly distorted by pain and a piercing scream tore from his lips, his erect figure collapsing onto the ground.
"Young man, the Initial Tier of Bone Tempering is merely the foundation of a towering edifice and far from enough to be an adversary. The world is truly vast, so vast. In the future, keep your eyes wide open and think twice before striking someone, especially with malicious intent. However, I guess you won’t get the chance anymore. My words are probably wasted on you!"
Xiao Yi lightly patted the palm he had just clashed with and looked with a hint of mockery at the young man lying on the ground, still screaming in agony. Leaving those words behind, he turned and left the park without looking back.
He knew the young man was essentially done for. Originally, he had only planned to break one of his arms and legs as a lesson, but when he sensed the intent to kill emanating from the young man just now, he became enraged. This person was at the Bone Tempering Period, yet so ruthless in his actions, casually seeking to cripple another person!
At that moment, he changed his mind. The mere 20% of strength he had intended to use surged to 50% in an instant. The normally mild force he employed was abruptly exchanged for the most brutal force, tearing apart the young man’s full body meridians in a flash.
He was actually a freak at the Middle Tier of Bone Tempering!
He had been hiding his strength all along!
Despite the intense pain searing through his body, the young man, who had formally entered the Bone Tempering Period, had his hearing and vision not entirely overwhelmed by pain. His ears picked up Xiao Yi’s words clearly and his eyes saw that mocking look.
Deep inside, he unleashed an indignant roar that was full of resentment...
Those words were almost exactly what he had thrown at Xiao Yi earlier, believing Xiao Yi was someone on the verge of, but not yet into, the Bone Tempering Period. He could never have imagined that he had been wrong all along; Xiao Yi was a freak above the Middle Tier of Bone Tempering!
In a matter of minutes, those words were returned to him in their original form, the heavy irony exacerbating the agony in his heart, far surpassing the physical pain he felt.
How could this be possible?
How could such a country bumpkin, so young, be above the Middle Tier of Bone Tempering?
With my exceptional talent and various favorable conditions, I am still a small step away from the Middle Tier. How could he have risen to it!
Gazing at Xiao Yi’s retreating figure, the young man’s eyes were filled with fear, as well as a sense of unwillingness and venomous resentment!
To think he was pretending to be weak while hiding his true strength, just to deceive me!
Such malice, truly despicable!
At this moment, he had completely forgotten that Xiao Yi had never concealed anything from him. Xiao Yi didn’t even recognize him; it was always he who had taken for granted that Xiao Yi was someone not yet in the Bone Tempering Period!
The humiliation of today, I will definitely reclaim it another day!
Xiao Yi, I won’t let you off!
The young man was silently screaming in his heart, filled with intense hatred!
However, thinking of his current situation, his eyes instantly turned dim again...
After a long time, he struggled to take out his cell phone from his clothes with trembling hands, as if it required a tremendous effort, and dialed a number for help with great difficulty.
...
"Li Ziming, it seems I really need to warn him."
Walking out of the park, Xiao Yi muttered to himself and continued towards Azure Waterfront without looking back. This little incident had wasted some of his cultivation time, and he needed to hurry back and catch up on his training.
For Xiao Yi, the events of the afternoon were just a minor episode in life, not even causing a ripple. Although Li Ziming finding someone in the Bone Tempering Period to take action was somewhat surprising, he didn’t develop the slightest fear towards Li Ziming because of it.
He was not at all afraid of revenge from the young man in the Bone Tempering Period or Li Ziming. It’s not that he was fearless, but he did feel the pressure of the forces behind Sun Hao. The reason he had no fear of Li Ziming and that young man was because he was sure neither the Li Family nor that young man had the ability to retaliate against him. A person’s background and depth could not entirely, but to a certain extent, be discerned from their speech and demeanor.
A person who dares to bluster at the Initial Tier of Bone Tempering, thinking himself unbeatable in the world, how powerful could his backing be?
And as for the Li Family, there’s even less to say. With Li Ziming’s cowardly display, one glimpse can reveal the whole picture; he has never considered this so-called great family worthy of attention.
It’s the other two families, the Zeng family and the Zhao Family, especially the Zhao Family, that give him a sense of unpredictability. It is said that Zhao Yuhua, from his class, comes from the Zhao Family. He hadn’t noticed anything about her temperament at first, but after several casual observations over time, he felt that her temperament was probably related to the cultivation technique she practiced, and her martial skills were not simple!
As for Zeng Xiaomei, the beautiful police officer from the Zeng family, she too was highly skilled, at least at the realm of the Bone Tempering Period.
He didn’t wonder why the Zeng sisters were so different; Zeng Xiaomei excelled in martial skills while Xiaoxiao had not practiced martial arts. Having spent so much time with Xiaoxiao, he had long realized that her constitution was not suited for martial arts. Even if one had the talent, not everyone could practice martial arts. The martial path is not one the average person can walk, as even the mere First Tier of Bone Tempering can daunt countless people.
It’s an achievement hard-earned through true grit. The initial entrance stage, called Bone Tempering, is aptly named. It’s not just about practicing a Cultivation Method. One has to genuinely refine every muscle and bone in the body. This kind of kung fu relies entirely on the External Refinement of Muscles, Bones, and Skin. Even with the old man’s extraordinary methods, he too had to endure pain for a long time when he first started. That kind of suffering is absolutely unbearable for most people.
