Ten Thousand Jin of Immense Strength

Inside the animal pen, one thousand Piebald Horses were confined, and to the left of the pen lay a stable.

Five hundred meters away stood a courtyard, fully equipped with everything needed for daily life.

Houses, a well, a vegetable garden, pots, bowls, ladles, and basins—everything was there.

That courtyard was the new home for Li Yunjing and Ma Xingyuan.

"The smell here is truly unbearable!"

Ma Xingyuan found two cotton balls from somewhere and stuffed them directly into his nose.

"Exactly! Exactly!"

Li Yunjing nodded. At this moment, he felt a bit of regret.

If he had known, he wouldn't have broken through in his cultivation; why was his sense of smell so sensitive now?

He could smell the stench with perfect clarity!

His brain felt like it was about to explode.

The foul odor shot straight to his crown!

"Damn it, these Piebald Horses are so fat. It would be great to slaughter one and roast it to eat!"

Ma Xingyuan circled the fence, observing them carefully.

Although he was joking, he didn't dare to be the least bit careless in his heart. If these Piebald Horses weren't raised well, contribution points would be deducted, and how could he endure that?

"Heh! Each of these Piebald Horses is plump and strong; the meat should taste quite good."

Li Yunjing followed up with a joke of his own.

The Piebald Horse resembled an ordinary horse but possessed a white body, a black tail, a single horn on its head, and teeth and claws like a tiger.

The sound emitted by a Piebald Horse was like the beating of a drum.

This creature was no ordinary horse; each one possessed the immense strength of several thousand jin.

An ordinary person would have no way to subdue such a beast.

Otherwise, there would have been no need to carve runes and restrictions onto the fence.

After observing the stables, Li Yunjing went to their nearby living quarters.

It was a small courtyard with two bungalows and a warehouse.

The two rooms were naturally where the two of them would live.

The warehouse was much larger than the houses; it was filled with feed. These Piebald Horses did not eat ordinary horse fodder, but rather high-quality forage infused with spiritual energy.

As Li Yunjing and Ma Xingyuan organized their belongings, they cursed, "These beasts eat better than we do!"

From that day on, Li Yunjing and Ma Xingyuan began their work.

Raising horses was hard labor; they had to get up in the middle of the night to add more fodder.

Fortunately, the purpose of the Piebald Horses was to supply the sect's dining halls, so there was no need to exercise them, or the two would have been worked to death.

Even so, life was difficult, causing endless misery for two people who had never exerted themselves or done manual labor before.

Three days of peaceful life passed.

Li Yunjing and Ma Xingyuan finally adapted to the situation.

On this morning, the sky was high and the air was crisp.

Li Yunjing and Ma Xingyuan had just finished practicing a set of fist techniques when they heard the sound of footsteps approaching.

The two looked toward the door and saw their steward, Hou Boyan, arriving with several outer sect disciples.

"Greetings, Steward Hou! Greetings, senior brothers!"

Li Yunjing and Ma Xingyuan did not dare to be negligent and quickly stepped forward to salute.

"Hmm! Here is the requisition slip! Ten Piebald Horses are to be taken today!"

Hou Boyan snorted through his nose and handed a slip to Li Yunjing.

Li Yunjing looked at it and saw that it was a requisition slip for the Elegant Fragrance Garden.

They needed to deliver some meat, and these senior brothers had come to collect the Piebald Horses.

"Understood! Steward Hou, senior brothers, please follow me!"

Li Yunjing nodded and said with a smile.

Arriving outside the stable, Li Yunjing took the token from Ma Xingyuan. As he channeled his magic power, the token flashed with light, forming a ten-foot-wide gateway in the fence.

Along the entire perimeter of the fence, only this gateway was free of electric arcs, allowing for free passage.

"You beast! Come here!"

A burly outer sect disciple shouted, stepped forward, curled his five fingers, and grabbed at the air.

Instantly, a Piebald Horse over two meters tall had its neck seized by a yellow light-formed hand and was dragged out.

"Neigh!"

The Piebald Horse, suddenly seized, seemed to sense the danger and struggled violently, letting out a high-pitched, resonant cry.

Yet, this outer sect disciple appeared to possess profound magic power; after the Piebald Horse struggled for a moment, he gripped its throat and choked it to death.

The massive carcass was snatched through the air and slammed heavily onto the ground with a "bang," kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Hiss..."

Li Yunjing and Ma Xingyuan drew a sharp breath; this outer sect senior brother possessed immense magic power!

Having dealt with the Piebald Horse for three days, the two of them naturally knew that this beast had infinite strength, with even the slightest movement exerting thousands of pounds of force.

When fighting for its life, its strength would surely be even greater.

They had not expected such a massive creature to be strangled to death by the outer sect senior brother with a single grip.

"Heh heh! Junior Brother Wang, what great magic power you have!"

Even Hou Boyan could not help but exclaim in admiration.

"Hahaha! What little ability does this younger brother have? How could it be worthy of Senior Brother Hou's praise?"

The outer sect disciple surnamed Wang said modestly.

However, the look of pride on his face could not be faked; clearly, being praised by Hou Boyan made him very happy.

"I shall go and capture a few Piebald Horses as well!"

Another outer sect disciple, feeling his hands itch, said with a chuckle.

"Hahaha! Junior Brother Xu has infinite strength; it is the perfect time to witness his methods!"

The others remarked.

"Hey!"

They saw this man shout, stride fiercely into the portal, and grab a handful of the mane on a Piebald Horse's neck.

The Piebald Horse let out a pained roar and kicked its front hooves out at him.

"Beast! You still dare to resist?"

The outer sect disciple surnamed Xu sneered and swept his foot out; a "crack" sounded as the kicking hoof suffered a broken bone.

The Piebald Horse lost its footing, and as the outer sect disciple pulled it, it collapsed to the ground with a "thud."

"Come here!"

The outer sect disciple exerted force with his hands, grabbed the Piebald Horse's single horn, and dragged the nearly two-thousand-pound beast out of the stable.

Such immense strength was truly astonishing!

Even though the Piebald Horse struggled with all its might, unleashing ten thousand pounds of force, it was no match for this outer sect disciple.

This tall horse was handled like a toy in this man's hands.

"Hiss..."

Li Yunjing and Ma Xingyuan drew another sharp breath.

The Piebald Horse was a beast of infinite strength; it could easily knock down a house.

If one were to contend with the Piebald Horse using magic power, it would not be surprising.

However, for this outer sect senior brother to capture a Piebald Horse with ten thousand pounds of force using only his own physical strength was truly awe-inspiring.

Li Yunjing pondered to himself that for this man to handle the Piebald Horse so easily, he must possess a strength of one hundred thousand pounds throughout his entire body.

This was pure physical strength.

In this aspect alone, he far surpassed Li Yunjing.

It seems I still have a long way to go; there is so much I need to learn.

This scene did not discourage Li Yunjing; instead, it ignited his fighting spirit.

After these Piebald Horses were killed one by one, an outer sect disciple took out a bag.
