I Can't Believe You Didn't Say So Earlier!

In the Martial Arts Arena, both men had already steeled themselves!

Facing Ye Li, who was now in the Body Tempering Realm, if they did not go all out, they would only end up like Lu Yue.

According to the third method Feng Yue had mentioned.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name, Taiwan Novel Network, keeping you company in your leisure time, ??????????.????? So thoughtful.]

Although Body Tempering martial artists used their bodies as armor, so long as their strength remained inexhaustible, their blood armor would not fade!

Yet the nine apertures of the human body were difficult for ordinary martial artists to protect!

The eyes, ears, mouth, nose, chrysanthemum, and horse—these nine apertures all had weak points, large or small!

The eyes in particular!

Even with one's eyes shut, the eyelids could only deflect eighty percent of the force. A blow could still easily cause blindness.

As their thoughts flickered, the two twisted their bodies strangely in midair!

Gao Xu's right fist changed into a finger strike, his protruding index-finger knuckle like a venomous serpent's fang as it viciously jabbed at Ye Li's left eye!

Chang Qing bent his elbow like a chisel, gathering the last of his strength as he viciously rammed it toward Ye Li's right ear!

Yet Ye Li's counterattack against their martial soul fusion technique was faster and fiercer than theirs!

In an instant!

Before Gao Xu's fist could even strike, Ye Li had already leaped up, his legs wrapping around Gao Xu's neck like giant pythons!

On the other side, a smiling face entered Chang Qing's vision!

It was Ye Li's gentle smile. Then...

Crack!

Accompanied by the teeth-grating sound of shattering bones, Chang Qing's wrist in Ye Li's grip was crushed to powder by the force of his hand.

Before the pain could spread from his arm, Ye Li's body twisted one hundred and eighty degrees in midair.

In the blink of an eye, the world spun upside down!

A violent sensation of weightlessness struck them, as if heaven and earth had overturned!

Within their contracted pupils, two suns came into view, like golden crows falling from the sky!

No, the suns were not falling!

Their bodies had been hung in midair!

As Ye Li inverted himself, he forcibly dragged both of their bodies along.

Under the powerful centrifugal force, their fixed bodies were spun around and hurled toward the ground!

Boom! Boom!

Dust flew as the two were buried in the dirt!

Chang Qing's mangled wrist bent at a grotesque ninety-degree angle.

Gao Xu, meanwhile, lay limp as mud, his spine having suffered a devastating injury.

Ye Li landed steadily and flicked the blood droplets from his fingertips.

His blocking displayed his technique; taking hits revealed his toughness!

After showing off his technique and toughness, what followed was an utterly uninhibited display of force!

Absolute domination!

Before everyone present, Ye Li used strength that was higher, faster, and stronger to crush the three of them as easily as rotten wood!

After casually dealing with the three, Ye Li turned and looked gently at Wang Xian.

"I was just coming to congratulate Brother Wang and thank you for the Body Tempering Pill you gave me, but I happened to run into something like this."

"Without the Body Tempering Pill Brother Wang gave me, I could never have achieved what I have today!"

"It's... it's nothing." Wang Xian's lips twitched. It had only been seven days!

He had thought that even with the Body Tempering Pill's help, Ye Li would still need two months to break through.

Only at this moment did he understand the truth behind his father's words. Giving that Body Tempering Pill to himself really would have been a waste!

"Brother Wang, wait for me a moment. I'll be back in no time!"

After saying that, Ye Li's gaze turned cold, and he strode swiftly toward the arena exit.

Half the time it took to drink a cup of tea later, inside the Medicine Hall!

Li Xi was lying in the Medicine Hall, resting.

Because both his arms had been broken, he could only maintain his body's strength through breathing exercises during this period.

Over this past month, never mind improving—even keeping his physical condition from declining would already count as effort on his part.

"I wonder whether Lu Yue has gotten it done yet. It's already been six or seven days!"

As Li Xi lay on the bed, every time his thoughts drifted, intense resentment and venom filled his heart!

Staring at the beam above the Medicine Hall, Li Xi began cursing Ye Li in his heart again!

Just as his thoughts raced, the door outside the Medicine Hall creaked open.

Li Xi did not raise his eyes. At this hour, the person coming here was most likely one of the gang's servants who changed his medicine every day!

Unfortunately, he had guessed wrong!

Ye Li kicked the door open and stepped into the Medicine Hall.

The moment he entered, he saw Li Xi lying leisurely on his sickbed.

Thinking of what the other man had done, fury surged from his heart!

"Li Xi! No sleeping in bed!"

The furious roar exploded like thunder!

Li Xi looked up in horror, only for his vision to be filled by an rapidly enlarging shoe sole!

Bang—Crack!

Ye Li's shoe sole viciously ground into Li Xi's face!

The violent force bent his supine body upward, and the fragile sickbed shattered with a crash!

His head was embedded firmly into the floor, while his body bent into a humiliating "L" shape!

Though Ye Li had held back enough not to take his life.

Under the still heavy and powerful War Stomp, Ye Li successfully helped Li Xi enter an infant-like sleep!

Ye Li lifted his foot and looked down.

Li Xi's once-tall nose bridge had been flattened beneath that kick, as smooth as if an iron had rolled over it!

Meanwhile, inside the gang's Law Enforcement Hall.

After Lu Yue, Gao Xu, and Chang Qing had been splashed awake with water, the already injured trio were being tortured by the Law Enforcement squad!

Every lash tore away a layer of intact flesh from their skin.

Before long, all three were covered in wounds, without a single patch of uninjured flesh.

"I'll confess! I'll confess!"

Amid miserable screams, Lu Yue said, "I'll confess everything! I absolutely won't hide anything."

"What are you confessing?" Law Enforcement squad captain Fu Yingjie lowered his whip, confusion in his eyes. "What do you have to confess?"

"You..."

Absurdity flashed through the eyes of the three men. "Weren't you beating us all this time because Li Xi hired us to attack Ye Li?"

"I can't believe it, you didn't say so earlier!!!"

All the students of the Law Enforcement Hall were shocked. They had never expected there to be such an inside story.

"You didn't know we'd made a mistake, so why were you beating us?!" Seeing the Law Enforcement squad's baffled expressions, all three men burst into tears.

"Of course we were beating you because it was fun. You actually dared to clash with a Body Tempering martial artist who was one of the gang's core students."

Fu Yingjie looked utterly baffled. "And you think I'm wrong for beating you?"

In the Law Enforcement squad's eyes, these newcomers were not even ordinary gang members. They were merely a group of newcomers who had signed contracts selling themselves.

These newcomers held no higher status than the gang's servants. Why would anyone need a reason to beat them?

It was like commoners accusing officials in ancient times: regardless of the facts, they would first receive a hundred intimidating rods as a warning. No reason was needed.

Even government offices acted that way; a gang like the Azure Dragon Gang was naturally even more ruthless.

Whipping the three at this moment was merely to uphold the dignity of a core student!

"However... judging by what you said, you actually dared to plot against a core student. That changes things."

As he spoke, Fu Yingjie set down the whip in his hand and beckoned.

Immediately, a Law Enforcement squad member beside him skillfully handed over a red-hot branding iron.

Even from a distance, the three could feel the scorching heat radiating from the branding iron.

Fu Yingjie wore a savage grin. If he had only intended to give them a small punishment before, now he was truly about to play dirty.

"Go on. How were you planning to frame a core student? Confess quickly—it will be better for everyone."

Seeing the Law Enforcement squad's savage grins, the three regretted it until their intestines turned green. Had they known, they would have simply endured it.

Not long after, wave after wave of miserable screams rang out throughout the Law Enforcement Hall!

Only after a long time did the sounds finally cease!
