Wang Teng suddenly understood.
No wonder this landlord treated money like dirt and did not care about one or two thousand yuan more or less in rent.
A man with eighteen demolition-compensation apartments was just that outstanding!
Just that damn awesome!
You had no choice but to be convinced!
Though he did seem a little afraid of his wife~
Beneath that facade of forced strength, Wang Teng saw a weak, helpless soul that had suffered untold torment.
Amen. A moment of silence for three seconds!
Seeing the look in Wang Teng's eyes, the toe-picking burly man opened his mouth.
"Bro, there's no need to say anything. I understand. I admire men like you too. Go beat... ah, no, buy the soy sauce. Sister-in-law is still waiting for you."
Wang Teng patted his shoulder and spoke earnestly.
The toe-picking burly man opened his mouth again, but could not say a single word. In the end, he waved his hand and walked dejectedly toward the convenience store beside them—to buy soy sauce!
A real man should be like this, daring to face the tigress at home!
Wang Teng got into the car and cast one final look at that bleak, desolate back, leaving behind a sigh that drifted away on the wind.
Wang Teng returned to school. There were still ten minutes before class began.
But he did not plan to return to the classroom.
For him, sitting obediently in class was truly a waste of time.
He did not need to worry about Five Years Martial Arts Exam Three Years Simulation. If he found time to work through it every day, he would soon achieve a perfect score.
"Class monitor, cover for me this afternoon."
Wang Teng called out to Lin Chuhan and leisurely left the classroom amid her helpless gaze.
"This guy is so infuriating. He makes me cover for him every time. If I'd known, I wouldn't have bothered with him. Again and again, he keeps pushing his luck!" Lin Chuhan could not help stamping her foot.
In truth, the teachers of every subject had always turned a blind eye to Wang Teng, this rich second generation, skipping class, playing on his phone during lessons, and such.
In the teachers' eyes, Wang Teng had always been a poor student. As long as he did not affect the other students in the class, they counted themselves fortunate.
The class bell rang.
The noise around the school gradually fell silent. Before long, only the teachers' lectures could be heard.
Walking along the school road, Wang Teng decided to find a place to cultivate Primal Force.
Ever since becoming a Martial Warrior, he had not properly cultivated even once.
Now that he had some free time, he would use it to cultivate his Primal Force Cultivation Method and see how effective it was.
There was a small grove behind the training field. Aside from a few delinquent students smoking there, hardly anyone ever went.
And since it was class time, there was even less chance of anyone being there.
After thinking it over, Wang Teng headed toward the grove.
Within the grove, the occasional chirp of insects and birds made the place seem especially quiet.
Wang Teng walked farther in and spotted a large boulder, just right for someone to sit on.
With a light leap, he landed on the rock and sat cross-legged.
A patch of shade overhead happened to block out the blazing sun.
The temperature was still high, so he used Ice Element Source Power to form a circle of ice around himself.
The temperature immediately dropped considerably.
Comfortable!
Seeing that no one was around, he closed his eyes and began cultivating his Primal Force Cultivation Method.
First, the Crimson Flame Art!
Following the cultivation route, he drew the Fire Source Power from within his Origin Core and circulated it through his four limbs and bones.
Wang Teng gradually entered a state of cultivation.
The scattered Fire Source Power between heaven and earth surged toward him...
According to the Crimson Flame Art's description, when Primal Force traveled once through the cultivation route in the body before returning to the Origin Core, that counted as one cycle.
At this moment, the Fire Source Power had already completed one cycle, but Wang Teng did not stop and continued cultivating.
One cycle, two cycles, three cycles...
An hour passed in the blink of an eye!
When it came to cultivation, Wang Teng displayed a rare level of focus.
An hour later, he slowly opened his eyes. He could feel the Fire Source Power within him had grown considerably, and his mastery of the Crimson Flame Art had also increased.
His gaze fell upon the Attribute Panel.
Comprehension: 83.1 Spirit: 20.2 Talent: Elementary Fire Talent (11/300), Elementary Ice Talent (13/300), Elementary Earth Talent (12/300), Spiritual Sight (Elementary 1.1/10) Primal Force: 63/100 Fire (One-Star War Soldier Level) 5/100 Ice (One-Star War Soldier Level) 4/100 Earth (One-Star War Soldier Level) Cultivation Methods: Crimson Flame Art (Entry Level 5/100), Profound Ice Art (Entry Level 2/100), Yellow Earth Skill Earth Essence Shield (Entry Level 2/100) Combat Skills: Basic Combat Skills (Fist, Sword, Saber, Movement: Subtle Mastery), Basic Staff Technique (Entry Level), Gun Technique (Small Success), Fire Scale Sword Art (Entry Level 40/100), Illusory Ice Fist (Entry Level 9/100) Knowledge: Basic Subjects (Perfect Score) Comprehensive Combat Strength: 195 Blank Attribute: 0
"Only one point of Fire Source Power increased?!" Wang Teng's eyes widened.
He had cultivated for a full hour, yet his Fire Source Power had only increased by one point. The speed felt somewhat unbelievable to him.
Normally, he relied on picking up attributes to improve himself, and his strength rose absurdly quickly.
Sure enough, without comparison, there was no harm!
It seemed he really had been spoiled by the system.
"What if one day, the system disappears?"
The moment Wang Teng considered that possibility, his heart tightened. He quickly shook his head. "No, no. I can't rely too much on the system. I have to work hard and cultivate on my own too!"
Taking a deep breath, Wang Teng's gaze became resolute.
Having thought it through, his mindset gradually corrected itself.
Then he looked further down.
Crimson Flame Art (Entry Level 5/100)—its proficiency had increased by three points from before.
Wang Teng nodded inwardly. If he kept working this hard, breaking through Entry Level would only be a matter of time.
Once he reached the next level, his cultivation speed would definitely become faster.
Next, he continued cultivating, but later switched in turn to the Profound Ice Art and Yellow Earth Skill.
Compared with Fire Source Power, his Ice Element Source Power and Earth Element Source Power were undoubtedly far too weak.
During last night's battle, Ice Element Source Power had served as an unexpected trump card and played a decisive role in the fight.
So it was necessary to improve these two kinds of Primal Force, so they could serve as trump cards in the future.
Time passed...
For the entire afternoon, Wang Teng sat motionless atop the rock, cultivating his Primal Force Cultivation Methods.
When the bell for the final class of the afternoon rang, he stopped cultivating.
He glanced at the Attribute Panel.
Ice Element Source Power and Earth Element Source Power had each increased by 1.5 points.
At the same time, the Profound Ice Art's proficiency had increased by four points, while the Yellow Earth Skill's proficiency had increased by three points.
"Not bad gains!"
This time, Wang Teng did not think it was too little.
Mm, his mindset was very steady!
He was about to climb down from the rock when he discovered that his legs were stiff, and he nearly fell flat on his face.
"My god, that scared me to death!"
He hurriedly grabbed the rock for support and caught his breath.
A Martial Warrior nearly falling off a rock "this high"—if word got out, people would probably laugh themselves to death.
"Eggy, novels are all lies, right? Who said cross-legged cultivation was more effective? My legs are numb!"
His legs were completely immobile. Wang Teng could only pry them apart with his hands, and after resting for quite a while, he was finally able to get down and walk. Inwardly, he grumbled without end.
