To Hear the Way in the Morning, One May Die Contentedly in the Evening

Chapter 30: To Hear the Way in the Morning, and Die in the Evening? So Be It!

At this moment, in Girls' Dormitory Building B6.

This location offered a clear view of the school's sports field.

"Hahahaha, you guys come take a look! What kind of idiot is still running laps on the track in this weather?" a girl with shoulder-length bobbed hair laughed heartily.

"Is this another new trick to show off and attract naive little girls?" A curvaceous girl, lounging on her bed, fanned herself with a small fan, trying to ward off the heat. She felt incredibly hot and a certain person's image involuntarily popped into her mind.

The bobbed-haired girl chuckled, "If he really wanted to show off, he's utterly failed. No girl in the world would find such a fool handsome. By the way, Lu Fei, come take a look. This guy looks a bit familiar. Is he from our class?"

"Let me see." The curvaceous girl climbed to the window and looked towards the sports field.

Just then, she saw the man stop and take off his shirt, holding it in his hand. His back was like a monkey's, his waist like a bee's, and his muscles were well-defined, exuding explosive power.

The bobbed-haired girl giggled, "Tsk, you really can't tell until he takes his shirt off. This guy has a great physique. Just these firm muscles might attract many naive girls."

"He's from our class." The curvaceous girl's eyes widened. She had just been thinking about him.

What a great body, so manly.

Combined with that cool aura he had, she should make a move before other women discover his good qualities?!

Song Shuhang looked at his clothes and found that they weren't just stained with sweat, but also with many black, impurity-like substances. These were impurities from tempering his body, expelled along with his sweat.

Song Shuhang looked down at his body and indeed saw some black smudges and small granular impurities.

Body tempering, body tempering. It wasn't just about strengthening the body, but more importantly, refining it and removing impurities.

Then, he reached out and touched his abdomen.

He actually saw his long-lost abs.

He hadn't seen them for about a year and a half. Ever since he crammed for college entrance exams in his final year of high school, his abdominal muscles had disappeared due to lack of exercise, replaced by a little bit of fat.

But now, after just a few laps, his abs had reappeared.

Furthermore, many minor ailments he had suffered from were completely gone. For example, the dull ache in his right shoulder from constantly using the computer; the minor issues with his neck from sitting for too long. All these ailments had vanished completely!

Also, Shuhang felt that the world before him was crystal clear. He had been slightly nearsighted, also due to excessive eye strain during the college entrance exams. But now, his mild myopia had healed on its own. His eyesight had even been greatly enhanced.

As long as he concentrated, he could see the leg of a fly's corpse on the fence of the sports field, ten meters away...

"Calm down, calm down. Let's test other aspects. My physical strength and endurance have clearly improved. Let's check my strength." Song Shuhang tried hard to calm himself.

In fact, he could no longer remain calm. He felt like he was drunk, his brain desperately trying to maintain composure, but his body faithfully betrayed his extreme excitement.

He clenched his fist, feeling an overwhelming surge of energy in his arms with nowhere to release it, giving him the urge to tear apart tigers and leopards.

His gaze fell upon the shot put area, where two types of shot puts were placed.

The shot puts used by the school weighed 5kg for men and 4kg for women.

Song Shuhang stepped forward, picked up a larger one, and weighed it in his hand, wanting to test the strength of his arms.

But as he lifted the shot put, he was slightly stunned—was this really a shot put, or a basketball or a football?

The increase in strength was obvious.

At that moment, he really wanted to throw this shot put and see how far he could hurl it. But he forcefully suppressed this urge, not knowing how far he might throw it. What if he caused trouble?

"Just from a mouthful of medicinal paste, which might even be a semi-finished product or a failure. The enhancement to my body has reached this level. If I had taken the complete Body Tempering Liquid, would I instantly become a Hercules capable of running horses on my arms and pulling planes with my teeth?" Song Shuhang, clutching his clothes, returned to his dorm in a daze.

The dorm door opened, and he entered the kitchen, looking at the hot pot and the black medicinal paste within.

"Body Tempering Liquid. The name truly fits, it's genuine Body Tempering Liquid!"

On this day, the man named Song Shuhang was utterly floored!

Since joining the Nine Provinces No. 1 Group, the Heavenly Tribulation, the Spirit Ghost, the Ice Pearl, and Yurouzi's monstrous strength and the magical medicinal herbs she sent, everything had been shaking Song Shuhang's worldview.

And this 'simplified version of Body Tempering Liquid' in his hand delivered the most fatal blow to Song Shuhang's worldview.

June 4, 2019.

On this day, Song Shuhang's worldview, built over eighteen years, crumbled spectacularly, leaving not even a speck of dust behind.

It was not easy to establish a worldview, but it was so easy to shatter it.

"Forget it, if the worldview is shattered, then let it be. Only by shattering it can one see more of the world's truth," Song Shuhang murmured.

At this moment, his strong heart came into play.

First, he cleaned up the remaining 'Body Tempering Liquid' in the hot pot, not leaving a single drop. For now... he didn't dare to drink this stuff again.

Then, he took a shower.

While showering, he also discovered that his reflection in the mirror looked... much fairer? His skin was rosy and white, exuding a healthy glow. It was more supple than a woman's skin!

This was a disaster. When his roommates returned from their walk, how would he explain suddenly becoming so much fairer in just one afternoon? Would he say he applied a new type of whitening cream?

Well, these were not important matters.

The important thing is... everyone in the No. 1 Group of the Nine Provinces are actual cultivators, AAAAAH!

As expected, I can't calm down at all!

How could he calm down? Anyone in his situation wouldn't be any better.

A chat group he thought was a gathering of chuunibyou fantasy enthusiasts suddenly transformed. Every member in the group turned out to be a real cultivator, making it incredibly impressive out of nowhere.

This was far more stimulating than winning fifty million.

Compared to 'cultivation,' fifty million wasn't even dust.

The two boxes of medicinal ingredients Yurouzi sent him were worth far more than that.

What should he do next?

He knew that 'cultivation' truly existed in this world, that magical medicinal ingredients truly existed between heaven and earth, that all sorts of elixirs and miraculous medicines existed, and that the No. 1 Group of the Nine Provinces existed too!

Song Shuhang asked himself what he should do now.

He walked to the computer and logged into his chat account.

Taking a deep breath, his finger hovered over the No. 1 Group of the Nine Provinces in the chat software. Ignorance is bliss; only by knowing more does fear arise. His finger stopped on the icon for the No. 1 Group of the Nine Provinces—the meaning of clicking it this time was completely different.

Now, a door leading away from the mortal world was right under his finger, on the computer screen!

He had two choices.

Would he live an ordinary life as a common person?

Or would he deeply engage with the cultivators in the No. 1 Group of the Nine Provinces, integrate into their world, and become a cultivator himself? Embarking on the dangerous path of cultivation?

Cultivation is dangerous; if nothing else, there's the 'Heavenly Tribulation.' The lightning tribulation in H City that Su Clan's A-Sixteen faced was terrifying, and it was only a third-grade Postnatal lightning tribulation.

Even with Senior Su Clan's A-Seven guarding her, Su Clan's A-Sixteen still failed to overcome the tribulation and was injured. Without Senior Su Clan's A-Seven present, her life and death would have been uncertain.

And Song Shuhang himself, without such a powerful senior, if he encountered such a terrifying lightning tribulation, he might be reduced to dust and ashes.

Song Shuhang hesitated... for one second!

Then, he forcefully clicked the No. 1 Group of the Nine Provinces icon.
