"Please Show Some Mercy!"

Uncle Chen had no idea what Li Ang was thinking, but even if he had, he wouldn't have cared.

For Li Ang, the most important thing right now was to strengthen his body. After that, he needed to help Little Black Dog grow stronger as quickly as possible.

Back in his room, Li Ang raised a hand, and Little Black Dog appeared before him. Its somewhat bewildered eyes gazed at Li Ang, full of curiosity.

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

"It's not a very nice name, but it'll make it convenient for me to call you. When I say, 'Please show some mercy,' you'll start fighting right away. Don't hesitate at all. Got it?"

Li Ang looked seriously at the Little Blackie in front of him—or rather, Li Liushou. Little Blackie merely froze for a moment before nodding decisively.

Seeing that it could understand him so easily put Li Ang at ease.

Little Blackie might be tiny right now, but it was already equivalent to a normal Hundred-Year Soul Beast. What's more, it had the bloodline of a Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear and the devouring ability of a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

It was no pushover.

Once its strength reached the thousand-year level, Li Ang would be able to give it a third trait. By then, it would only grow stronger and stronger.

At this early stage, it would be Li Ang's most loyal bodyguard.

As he thought, Li Ang didn't linger. After all, sleep was key to improving the body. Poor sleep put a heavy strain on a person's health.

Seeing that it was already ten o'clock, Li Ang didn't hesitate for a moment. He lay down and went straight to sleep.

But while he was asleep, some people were wide awake.

Though Uncle Chen hadn't wanted to say anything, he still informed his junior fellow disciple, Mu Ye, the current Sect Master of the Body Sect. He also told Shen Ming about what had happened.

Hearing about Li Ang's terrifying physical prowess, even Shen Ming couldn't help but laugh helplessly.

"Uncle Chen, you said this child's strength is about to reach one ton?"

"He's only six years old. Isn't one ton a little too ridiculous?"

Even Shen Ming fell silent after saying that. With strength like this, as long as his defense and stamina could keep up—

The kid was practically a thousand-year Soul Beast in human form, and might even be more terrifying than an ordinary thousand-year Soul Beast.

And judging by the look of him, the kid clearly had plenty of other trump cards.

For instance, Shen Ming could sense an affinity for the elements in Li Ang.

His Martial Soul wasn't an elemental type, though it had some connection to elemental abilities—or, more precisely, control-type abilities.

That made him sensitive to the elements as well. But he could feel that wherever Li Ang was, all the elements drew close to him.

The earth element in particular—whether it was in the ground or floating in the air, it was as if Li Ang had his own personal guard, constantly protecting him.

The earth element not only kept other elements at bay, but seemed to twist them with wild force.

Everyone knew that elements couldn't normally influence one another. Yet wherever Li Ang was, the earth element seemed to be attacking the other elements at every moment.

What's more, the earth element around Li Ang seemed much stronger than ordinary earth elements.

Naturally, this was unreasonable. One could even say it was completely unreasonable.

Shen Ming could also guess that Li Ang harbored a great secret, but he had no intention of investigating it.

It was Li Ang's own secret. The boy was his disciple, and that was enough for him. He wasn't trying to use Li Ang for anything, either.

He had simply taken a liking to the child's talent and planned to nurture him.

"That's right. The Young Pagoda Master's strength is already close to one ton, and it'll only increase further before long."

"His defense is just as strong. The Martial Soul Skills of ordinary first- or second-ring Soul Masters might not affect him at all."

"And there seems to be some kind of power around him, like an elemental shield. I have to use force just to get a grip on his actual muscles."

Uncle Chen sounded a little frustrated. He couldn't understand Li Ang's transformation and had never encountered anything like it.

Still, he took it in stride. Just because he couldn't understand it didn't mean no one else could.

Once Mu Ye arrived, no matter how talented the kid was, he'd become a disciple of the Body Sect.

The Body Sect might not measure up to the Spirit Pagoda, but it wouldn't be hard to get Li Ang to serve the Body Sect while remaining loyal to the Spirit Pagoda. After all, the Spirit Pagoda's resources in Eastsea City were far inferior to the Body Sect's.

Looking at Uncle Chen's expression, Shen Ming's face turned a little strange. But he said nothing, merely dismissing Uncle Chen.

In the morning, as Li Ang walked through the school gates, many of the students who had been lazing around looked at him in alarm. Then they hurriedly scattered in every direction.

Seeing the way his unfamiliar classmates were acting, Li Ang didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

He walked calmly, letting the students keep their distance and even watch him with fear.

"Do these brats actually believe it?"

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

Li Ang scratched his head as he spoke. His mind was full of thoughts about metal, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

He had only crossed half the athletic field when a figure slowly appeared beside him.

Xie Xie walked alongside him. Li Ang's gaze lingered on him for only a moment before he calmly looked ahead again.

Seeing that Li Ang was completely ignoring him, Xie Xie clearly froze.

He was the young master, after all. He'd taken the initiative to come over and talk, and Li Ang was giving him that look? What was that supposed to mean?

Xie Xie was a little angry, but when he looked at the boy beside him, his expression turned strange.

When Li Ang arrived in the classroom, all the desks around him had already been moved away.

The students would rather squeeze together at the back than sit beside him.

So Yun Yue had no choice but to move Li Ang's seat to the very back.

"Sorry, Li Ang. I can only ask you to sit at the back."

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

Yun Yue sounded helpless, and her face showed a trace of weariness.

Ever since she'd gone home yesterday, quite a few parents had started calling her about the incident. They claimed their children had been threatened, so Yun Yue could only explain the situation as best she could.

Most of the parents were reasonable, but some were both unreasonable and influential. That left her feeling helpless.

Yun Yue wasn't about to take her frustration out on Li Ang, but she no longer spoke to him as gently as before.

Xie Xie noticed the change and knitted his brows slightly.

Li Ang, however, didn't care at all. He didn't even wait for Yun Yue to finish before moving his desk to the back himself.

He just wanted to learn about the Douluo World as quickly as possible. He didn't want to listen to her ramble or hear anything useless. He only wanted to listen to the lesson.
