"Please Show Mercy!"

Li Ang had no idea what Uncle Chen was thinking, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.

For him, the most important thing right now was to improve his physical strength, followed by helping Little Black grow stronger as quickly as possible.

Back in his room, Li Ang raised his hand, and the little black dog appeared before him. Its somewhat naive eyes looked at Li Ang, filled with curiosity.

"I forgot to give you a name earlier. From now on, you shall be called Li Liushou."

"This name might not sound very pleasant, but it's convenient for me to call out. When I say 'Please hold back,' you are to strike immediately without the slightest hesitation, understand?"

Li Ang looked at the little black creature—or rather, Li Liushou—with a serious expression. The little creature merely blinked for a moment before nodding decisively.

Seeing that the creature could easily understand his words, Li Ang felt quite reassured.

Don't let its current small size fool you; it was already equivalent to a normal hundred-year soul beast, and one that possessed both the bloodline of a Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear and the devouring ability of a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

This was no piece of trash.

Once its strength reached the thousand-year level, Li Ang would be able to grant it a third trait directly, and by then, its power would only continue to grow.

In these early stages, it would be Li Ang's most loyal bodyguard.

Thinking this over, Li Ang didn't linger; after all, sleep was the key to physical improvement, and a lack of rest placed a heavy burden on the body.

Seeing that it was already 10 o'clock, Li Ang didn't hesitate at all, flopping down and falling straight to sleep.

However, while he was asleep, others were not.

Although Uncle Chen was reluctant to speak, he eventually notified his junior brother, the current Body Sect master, Mu Ye, and also informed Shen Ming of the situation.

Upon hearing about Li Ang's terrifying physical constitution, even Shen Ming found himself at a loss for words.

"Uncle Chen, you say this child's strength is approaching one ton?"

"He is only six years old! Isn't one ton a bit too absurd?"

Shen Ming fell silent after saying this. Based on that strength alone, as long as his defense and stamina kept up, this kid was essentially a humanoid thousand-year soul beast—perhaps even more terrifying than a normal one.

Moreover, looking at the boy, it was clear he still held many cards up his sleeve.

For instance, he could sense a certain affinity for elements emanating from Li Ang.

His own martial soul type was not elemental, but it had some connection to the elemental or control types.

Therefore, he was equally sensitive to elements, and he could feel that whenever Li Ang was present, all elements gravitated toward him.

Especially the earth element; whether it was from the ground or floating in the air, the earth elements acted like Li Ang's personal imperial guards, protecting him at all times.

These earth elements not only isolated other elements but were even frantically distorting them.

One had to understand that elements usually could not influence one another, yet wherever Li Ang existed, the earth elements were constantly attacking the others.

Furthermore, the earth elements around Li Ang seemed far more powerful than ordinary ones.

This situation was naturally irrational—one could even say it was completely impossible.

He could infer that Li Ang must harbor great secrets, but he had no intention of prying.

These were Li Ang's own secrets; the fact that the boy was his disciple was enough for him, and he wasn't looking to use Li Ang for anything.

He simply saw the child's talent and intended to nurture it.

"Yes, the young pagoda master's current strength is nearly one ton, and it won't be long before his power increases further."

"His defense is also extremely strong; the soul skills of a normal one or two-ring soul master might have no effect on him at all."

"He also seems to have a power similar to an elemental shield around him; I have to exert force just to reach his actual muscles."

Uncle Chen spoke with a hint of frustration. He couldn't understand these changes in Li Ang, having never encountered anything like them before.

However, he took it in stride; just because he didn't understand didn't mean others wouldn't.

Once Mu Ye arrived, no matter how high the boy's talent was, he would become a disciple of their Body Sect.

Although the Body Sect couldn't compare to the Spirit Pagoda, it wouldn't be difficult to make Li Ang's heart lean toward them even if his body remained in the Spirit Pagoda, especially since the resources of the Eastsea City Spirit Pagoda were far inferior to those of the Body Sect.

Observing Uncle Chen's expression, Shen Ming looked a bit strange, but he said nothing, simply dismissing Uncle Chen.

The next morning, as Li Ang entered the school gate, many of the students who had been lounging about looked at him with terror, then scurried away in every direction.

Seeing the reaction of these unfamiliar classmates, Li Ang felt no discomfort at all.

He walked calmly, letting the surrounding students keep their distance, even watching him with fear.

"These little brats don't actually believe it, do they?"

"If I really had the power of a Destruction Domain, wouldn't I have killed you all already?"

Li Ang scratched his head as he spoke, though his mind was entirely occupied with thoughts of metal, so he didn't pay it much mind.

Just as he passed the middle of the playground, a figure slowly emerged beside him.

Seeing Xie Xie walking in step with him, Li Ang let his gaze linger on him for only a split second before calmly looking ahead.

Seeing that Li Ang was completely ignoring him, Xie Xie was visibly stunned.

He wondered, I, this young master, am taking the initiative to approach you and strike up a conversation, and you give me that look? What is that supposed to mean?

Xie Xie felt a surge of anger, yet as he looked at the youth before him, his expression turned somewhat peculiar.

Upon arriving at the classroom, all the desks that had originally surrounded Li Ang had been moved away.

The students would rather crowd together in the back than sit anywhere near Li Ang.

Consequently, Yun Yue had no choice but to move Li Ang's seat to the very back of the room.

"I'm sorry, Li Ang, I'm afraid I have to trouble you to sit at the back."

"Of course, if there is anything you don't understand, you can come find me after class every day."

Yun Yue spoke with a sense of helplessness, a trace of exhaustion evident on her face.

Ever since she returned home yesterday, many parents had been calling her to complain, claiming their children were being threatened, leaving Yun Yue to offer explanations in desperation.

Most of these parents were reasonable, but there was always a portion who were both unreasonable and held a certain social status, which left her feeling quite drained.

Although Yun Yue would not vent these emotions on Li Ang, her tone when speaking to him was no longer as gentle as it had been before.

Xie Xie noticed this change, and his brows furrowed slightly.

However, Li Ang was completely indifferent; he didn't even wait for Yun Yue to finish speaking before he moved his desk to the back on his own.

He only wanted to quickly understand the knowledge regarding the Douluo World, so he had no interest in listening to her empty talk or useless content; he only wanted to hear her teach the lesson.
