My vision suddenly blurred and tumbled as I found myself blown back several tens of meters into a brick wall. Ouch. When I came to, I felt numb in my left cheek as a metallic taste filled my mouth. Blood, I presumed. Besides that, I had sent my Spiritual Sense to check up on my internal injuries and it was not pretty. I had 3 broken ribs, a cracked skull, my arm bones shattered when they impacted the wall, my spine was cracked but I can still move so it should be fine, and finally, half of my meridians have been clogged.
Ignoring the burning hot pain, I lifted my head to see a man in yellow clothes coldly reprimanding the black cloaked man. The black cloaked man was so arrogant before, but now he was like a mouse. He dared not talk back as the man in yellow criticized and scolded him. Must be his boss, I guess.
Seeing that they were off in their own world, I released my Spiritual Sense and proceeded to eavesdrop on their conversation.
"Hornet 02, you're young master Sain's shadow guardian! What have you been doing while the young master was getting beaten up? Look at him now! He was hit in the balls! He's crippled! What am I going to report to the patriarch when I get back?! Your mistake here will cost the whole Hornet Squad their heads!!!"
"Uhm...if I may add, sir?" [Hornet 02]
"WHAAAAT?!"
"I didn't interfere initially because I thought that young master Sain would have no trouble dealing with a brat. I admit, it was indeed my mistake that I let the young master go unsupervised...But our young master's injury was caused by that brat! *proceeded to point at me* If you join me in killing him, we can wipe away our Hornet Squad's shame!" [Hornet 02]
"Wipe? Wipe your head lah! You'd lost to that kid if it weren't for my intervention. Are you blind? Do I need to beat you up again? Did you not see how that kid clapped your ass?! And now you're asking me to kill a kid you couldn't defeat?? Heh, Hornet 02, you're a bigger joke than when you were at death's door. That's it, when we get back, I, Hornet 01 will thoroughly punish you! Anyhow, since I'm your team captain...It'd be responsible of me to finish up your mess." The man in yellow a.k.a Hornet 01, smirked as he turned to look at my direction.
'Well, shit....' I could see that I was screwed. My body was crippled and my meridians were destroyed, I'd call it plot armor if I survived this disaster. Then again, me reincarnating with Heavenly realm strong soul should already be considered plot armor. Yet, here I was, about to die under an insignificant man's attack. Some would say this is karma? Karma has finally come for my life.
As the man in yellow, Hornet 01, strode over, my mind raced as my blood boiled.
Fuck karma, I wasn't dying today. Not under Sain's lackey, that is. I also remembered my life's sole purpose, to get stronger, to kill the Black Snake Empress, to avenge the deaths of my fellow brothers and sisters of True Star Island!
When the man was 50 meters away from me, I immediately enveloped myself in dense Spiritual Energy. Next, I began reciting the first line of the first page of 7 Star Origin Nova Cultivation manual I kept in the depths of my soul. Oh yeah, you guys probably forgotten about this manual right? I got this manual from a man named Neoh on the Path of Faithfulness back then. I don't know where he got this Heavenly God grade cultivation manual from but oh boy, I am grateful!
"What are you mumbling about, boy? Can't you see you're about to die? Cry for help all you want...No one's gonna help you...you've only got yourself to blame for this one."
Paying him no mind, I continued to recite the first line of my cultivation manual as I circulated my Spiritual Energy from my Spiritual Sea into my soul; then from my soul into my abdomen before it spreads outwards to every inch of body and finally back to my abdomen, to my soul and finally back into my Spiritual Sea. This was one circulation.
After completing 50 circulations, Hornet 01 was now standing before me. His initial cautious demeanor turned arrogant when he saw my body's condition. My heart was calm, my pulse was steady, my mind was clear. 'I can do this!' I told myself.
"Any last words, kid?" Hornet 01 raised his right arm past his head before curling it into a fist.
I stared at him, dead in the eye before mouthing 'Fuck. You.' silently.
He chuckled before he brought his fist down upon my tiny head.
*Pang!* A crisp metal sound rang out from where he struck me.
Ooh, his eyes were bulging out. He was in shock. That fist of his contained his full power, yet I was unharmed? How could this be? Ha, my predictions came through. I can now read him like a book.
Following his shock, I pieced my right arm bones together before reattaching it to my right shoulder at breakneck speed. 'FUCK!' I bit my lip as to not pass out from the pain. *Crack!* Arm fixed and relocated!
Seeing that my right arm has completely healed, I immediately activated [Spirit Eyes] to stun Hornet 01 before throwing out a right hook at his waist. My fist successfully connected with his waist, though thinking that I could make him go flying was a bit overconfident of me. I managed to hit him by the waist but it merely pushed him to the side, he didn't even fall over! Oh right, silly me. I was only at the 1st stage of Body Tempering realm while the person in front of me, Hornet 01 was a...nother Core Formation expert?! And he's at late Core Formation realm?!?! Fuck me!
