——(POV Li Huang)——
Running to the courtyard door I kicked the door with the power of my physical body. That is to say that because of my body cultivation, my kick was strong enough for what I wanted to see as a result.
And… results I got.
The guard dude was sent flying and he was embedded on a building's walls.
I could swear that I have seen this pose on some Egyptian ancient artifact back on earth…
Remembering that I had things to do I walked to the courtyard with heavy steps and shouted my line.
"LI. HENG. DIE. FOR. ME."
Li Heng who saw me for the first time was amused by my courage to shout at him. Remembering that his door and wall was destroyed, he got angry.
"How dare you come to my doorsteps and cause trouble? Do you have a death wish?" he talked through gritted teethes.
This question was a clever one, although it showed that he is angry, it also showed that he wants to know if I have any background that he should be wary of…
I had to somehow make him relax so that he could play with ease of mind.
How would I be able to do it?
Just watch me go…
"I, Chu Feng, have never been afraid to do what I had to do, what is a mere Li family's descendent's doorstep in front of me?" I answered him with my ego piercing the heavens.
But why did I introduce myself as Chu Feng?
Well first of all 'Feng' is the go-to name for every Chinese novel written in the history.
Specifically when the character is trash and no one gives a fuck about him even his family.
You might be like okay but why 'Chu' as my fake family name?
For this one, I can understand your dissatisfaction. I was in a dilemma between 'Chu' and 'Chen' for surname but in the end, I choose 'Chu' as the winner.
Why? Well, they both could represent a family who was good and mighty but now has fallen from the grace and is equal to shit, or a family who is in a good situation but don't give a shit about the MC although he is a member of the family…
Well for more diversity you could use 'Feng' for last name and 'Chen' or 'Chu' for the first name…
This was one of the hardest decisions that I had to make but in the end, 'Chu' won in a coin flip so there it is.
What? This is the most fuck that I could have given to this, so sorry, not sorry.
As I was having my internal struggle to prove to myself the genius behind my choice of fake name and reveling the nooks and crannies of this intricate process, Li Heng was looking at me.
The way that Li Heng was looking at him was of shock and this in turn shocked 'Chu Feng'.
"You are Chu Feng?" Li Heng asked after a little pause.
His question was not on my script but I didn't lose my composure.
"I am, What of it? Afraid?" I tried to taunt him so that he might act extreme.
But reality disappointed me like it often does.
He ignored my taunt and asked again.
"Chu Feng as Chu Feng, great-grandchild of grand elder Wan?" he asked with a sense of urgency in his voice.
'Grand Elder Wan? Great-grandchild? Chu Feng?' I was stupefied.
After a moment i remembered that grand elder Wan had only one daughter and she was married to someone surnamed… Chu.
'Fuck!'
How can my luck be this shitty? Do you mean to tell me there is one Chu Feng in the Omniverse that is not trash and has a good background with a loving family?
I admit I didn't see this coming…
So this is karma. I shouldn't have trash talked about the naming sense of some authors…
As a wise man once said 'you either die shitting on others or you live long enough to be shat on…' well in my experience I died and transmigrated but in essence, it is the same.
Looking back at Li Heng I started talking.
"I have no relation with this grand elder Wan, today I am here only as Chu Feng, not a word more and not a word less." I answered him with a smirk.
After hearing my words Li Heng looked relieved.
"Good. I was about to let you keep your life to give grand elder Wan some face but now that you have burned your only path out don't even think of leaving behind a complete corpse." He grinned at me as if I was a country bumpkin for not seeing that I could flee if I used the grand elder's name…
"I do not intend to give you a path out, too." I readied myself for his attack.
"I give you three moves if you can def—" as he was trash talking I jumped forward to attack him.
It's not like I have all day, and he is stronger than me on paper.
He is in the first stage of the Meridian Formation realm while I am in the eighth stage of the Qi Gathering realm, so I am two small realms lower than him and there is also a big realm bordering between us that can not be breached easily.
But who am I? I had the best of the best for everything as one of the top young masters in the world, so a peasant has nothing on me.
So why don't I finish it in the shortest time? Well, you remember that I'm doing all this to find the root of the problem so beating this trash is not my main problem.
I have to make the one behind him scared for him so that he shows up.
As I was revisiting my plan, my punch connected to his face.
To my 'shock' he didn't move much.
As my eyes widened as he seemed to be fine he grinned back to me.
"You shouldn't have touched my face with your dirty hands…" Li Heng told me as he cracked his knuckles.
'Welp, training time it is then.' Li Huang thought to himself.
With the first punch from Li Heng, Li Huang was lunched to the opposite wall and destroyed it.
As I was trying hard to stand up, Li Heng comes towards me with short steps.
"Did you think I am like the trash that you saw on your way inside here?" Li Heng told me while grabbing me by the collar.
What followed was a brutal beating and our MC got the shit kicked out of him.
After a few minutes of abusing 'Chu Feng', he was dropped back to the floor by Li Heng.
Li Heng looked at him contemptuously.
"I have a beauty waiting for me so I will play with you later." He turned to Lai Xinyue and flashed a charming smile.
To nobody's surprise, Lai Xinyue just looked at him emotionlessly.
Just at this moment, there was a movement from the rubbles.
'The punch was really light if you compare it to grandpa's.' Li Huang thought to himself.
As he got up from the floor you could see a silver hue around Li Huang's body. This was a sign of his body cultivation and you could count the layers as a sign for which stage he is currently at.
Looking at Li Huang you could clearly see that he is currently at the fourth stage of Silver Body.
Before this fight, he was at the peak of the third stage of Silver Body and needed a heavy push to break through to the next stage and 'getting beaten the shit out of' was the plan that Li Huang came up with and as you can see from the results; it is effective!
Showing Li Heng a toothy grin 'Chu Feng' spoke.
"Thanks to you I have broken through, young master Li." His smile would be normal if his mouth wasn't full of blood and his teeth, bloody.
To Li Heng, he was like a demon coming from the depth of the abyss to devour his soul.
"Now let me return the favor…" This time Li Huang's grin only got wider.
In a blur 'Chu Feng' was in front of Li Heng and punched him in the balls.
Li Heng who was covering his face instinctively was nearly shocked to death.
"Don't—" was all he could say before he was blown away and hit the wall behind him.
'Oh that was his room's wall…' thought Li Huang.
As I watched the style of his room, Li Heng was struggling to get out of the wreckage.
Coughing up a mouthful of blood Li Heng tried to stand straight but the last uppercut to the balls made it harder for him to even move a little, much less stand.
'Still not showing yourself? Well, there is one way to find out…' Li Huang thought to himself.
Getting close to Li Heng, I smiled at him.
"Any last words?" I asked him.
"D-Don't come closer!" Li Heng answered back while trembling.
"Not the wisest of words but oh well…" Li Huang shrugged.
Just as I was about to go and kill the impostor a thunderous voice sounded!
"How dare you touch a member of Li family!" the voice shouted and a sword light shot toward me.
'hypocrite bastard!' I sneered.
