"So you do have it!"
Meng Tiancheng licked his lip, his eyes glowing.
This man was obsessed with cultivation. All he could think about every day was how to raise his cultivation level and get promoted to the upper court.
Now that he knew Chen Shaojie had a Qi Attracting Pill in his possession, he must have it no matter what.
When he saw Chen Shaojie pick up a branch from the ground, his mouth curled into a little disdainful smirk. He just walked over with big steps.
Chen Shaojie was not afraid. His eyes locked on to Meng Tiancheng. The big stick in his hand instantly felt like a continuation of his body. Feeling how thick and long it was, it boosted his confidence significantly. He walked forward to meet with Meng Tiancheng's advance.
"If you don't hand over the Qi Attracting Pill today, I'll beat you to death."
Meng Tiancheng's steps were unhurried. In his opinion, Chen Shaojie, who had not even reached the Bronze Skin realm, was no different from an unarmed child to him.
Chen Shaojie was no threat to him at all. He could not even run away!
"F*ck off!"
Chen Shaojie rushed forward dragging his big stick. When he was within five steps of Meng Tiancheng, he swung the stick in a circle and smashed it at Meng Tiancheng's shoulder.
He did not dare to aim at Meng Tiancheng's head for fear of accidentally killing the guy.
According to the rules of the Qing Yu Immortal Sect, the disciples were not allowed to fight among themselves without a valid reason.
What they were doing was already in violation of the sect's rules. If he were to kill someone, he would be in big trouble.
Therefore, he was only trying to teach the guy a lesson.
Bang!
Meng Tiancheng blocked the stick with one hand. The big stick struck his arm heavily.
Chen Shaojie was overjoyed, thinking that he had landed a decisive blow...
But right then--
*Crack*
After the big stick hit Meng Tiancheng, it actually broke in two.
Holy sh*t!
Chen Shaojie stared at the broken stick in his hand at a loss.
This was probably the defensive capability of Bronze Skin and Iron Bones. It was not something ordinary sticks could overcome.
On the other side, although Meng Tiancheng managed to block the stick with his arm, the blow managed to stop him in his tracks.
He had long achieved Bronze Skin and Iron Bones. Initially, he thought that even if Chen Shaojie went at him at full strength, there was no way he would get hurt, but the result was not what he had expected at all.
After receiving the blow, he felt an excruciating pain on the spot on his arm where he was hit. That stunned him a little.
"How can this kid be so strong?"
Meng Tiancheng was enraged by the hit. His gaze turned ferocious. Without thinking too much, he swung his fist at Chen Shaojie.
Chen Shaojie had recovered from his daze. When he saw Meng Tiancheng's fist, he also swung his own fist instinctively. This time, he aimed at Meng Tiancheng's face.
He lacked fighting experience after all.
In his previous life on Earth, he was a rich trust fund kid who grew up being given whatever he wanted. He was involved in very few fights, and the few times he did fight, he always made sure he had the numerical advantage.
In this life, he came from an honest peasant family. He could only find memories of the original Chen Shaojie getting beaten up, and none of him beating up other people...
The right move to deal with Meng Tiancheng's punch should have been to take a step back to avoid it or to parry it and counterattack, but he chose to meet it head on without any technique at all.
Whack!
Whack!
Meng Tiancheng's fist struck Chen Shaojie's chest.
And Chen Shaojie's fist struck Meng Tiancheng's face.
Both of them had Bronze Skin and Iron Bones, so their cultivation levels were comparable. The difference this time lay in where the attacks landed.
Meng Tiancheng was worried that he might kill Chen Shaojie, so he only aimed at the chest.
At the same time, he had also greatly underestimated Chen Shaojie's cultivation level, so he did not use his full power.
On the other hand, Chen Shaojie did not think too much. Although he had swung his fist in a hurry, the punch was aimed at Meng Tiancheng's cheek.
Both punches landed and exerted their force.
Chen Shaojie was knocked backwards. He stumbled and fell on his butt.
Meng Tiancheng's outcome was much more miserable. Blood spurted out of his facial orifices, and his head was knocked sideways.
The punch made him see stars...
He received a heavy blow to the head. Of course he would be dizzy.
That was why, by the time Chen Shaojie climbed back up from the ground with a groan, Meng Tiancheng was still lying down there.
Holy sh*t, that really hurt...
The pain made Chen Shaojie grit his teeth. He rubbed his hand on his chest for a long time, but it was still painful. He could even feel the swell.
Meng Tiancheng now tried to get back up while making groaning noises.
'I'm gonna kill him!' thought Chen Shaojie. He walked over to Meng Tiancheng while rubbing his chest.
"You... You... Wronsh Shkin and Iron Woness?"
The punch had knocked off a few of Meng Tiancheng's teeth. The bridge of his nose was also crooked. Seeing Chen Shaojie walking over, although he was still too dizzy to climb up from the ground, he managed to utter a few words.
"That's right, I've also achieved Bronze Skin and Iron Bones."
After saying that, he gave the guy on the ground a good kick, then asked, "How about it? Do you give up?"
"Ugh..."
Meng Tiancheng's body curled up from the kick, but he did not answer.
Not answering huh?
Chen Shaojie would not hold back. He immediately gave Meng Tiancheng two more kicks.
"Ugh...Ugh...I give up, I give up..."
Meng Tiancheng finally answered. He was not as tough as he looked after all.
Chen Shaojie sat down on his butt.
F*cking bastard...
Making me so tired...
The fight had concluded. Chen Shaojie could now think about other things.
For example, how should he explain himself now that he had beaten up a person to this state? How should he deal with the aftermath? How should he deal with this bastard from now on? He could not keep letting the guy do nothing but cultivate every day.
The moment he thought of the word "cultivation"...
[*Crunch*]
[A friendly reminder from the Bask-in-the-Glow System: Meng Tiancheng's body contains a grade-3 Golden Spiritual Root. When you are close to him, your cultivation speed can become 8 times as fast. Would you like to bask in his glow? (Yes/No)]
The system prompt suddenly sounded, surprising Chen Shaojie.
Looking at the guy with a swollen face and a crooked nose on the ground, Chen Shaojie suddenly had an idea, 'That's right. Now that he's been beaten up so badly, he won't dare to be so arrogant anymore. In that case...can't I bask in the glow of his grade-3 Golden Spiritual Root from now on?"
Chen Shaojie made his plan. From now on, after the morning cultivation session in the lower court ended, he could go to the Book Depository to continue to freeload on Meng Tiancheng's WiFi.
Although Meng Tiancheng's WiFi only increased his cultivation speed eight-fold, which was less than Li Xuejiao's WiFi, it was still an option.
Besides, Meng Tiancheng would always stay in the Book Depository all day to cultivate without doing anything else. The cultivation hours were definitely long enough. In fact, considering the total amount of time spend cultivating, Chen Shaojie might even make more progress when he dipped into Meng Tiancheng's WiFi than when he dipped into Li Xuejiao's WiFi during morning cultivation.
"Not bad, not bad at all..."
While thinking that, Chen Shaojie could not help but look at Meng Tiancheng with a touch of warmth and love in his gaze.
"..."
Meng Tiancheng was covering his face, grunting, when Chen Shaojie's suddenly gave him that look. It sent shivers down his spine. He started feeling uneasy. He had no idea what Chen Shaojie was planning.
Chen Shaojie patted Meng Tiancheng's face and smiled amicably, "You have to cultivate diligently from now on, understand?"
