From Douluo to Godhood: Chapter 25

It felt as if ten thousand alpacas were stampeding through his heart; it took him a long while to react, finally choking out a single word: "Pervert!"

Jiang Chen did not stop, he was running with great gusto.

After running two more laps, he finally came to a halt and returned the stone roller to its original place.

He was panting like an ox, his entire body soaked in sweat, yet he felt a sense of unbridled exhilaration.

He hadn't used any of the soul power within his body during the exercise just now, relying purely on physical strength to carry that heavy stone roller for ten laps.

Once he stopped, he circulated his soul power and immediately felt an incomparable comfort; his whole body tingled with a numbing itch, and his physique seemed to be slowly strengthening.

The Corpse Core within his dantian rotated slowly, absorbing the soul power flowing back from his meridians while simultaneously emitting energy to nourish Jiang Chen's body.

Looking at that half-black, half-gold bead, Jiang Chen felt it was somewhat strange; he wondered if this bead, which had fused with heavenly lightning, could still be called a Corpse Core.

He had tried before, but he couldn't mobilize the bead at all; he could only passively let it purify the soul power he cultivated.

Thinking of that zombie's heaven-defying cultivation, he understood that this bead must be an incredible treasure, but it was a pity he couldn't utilize it.

While lost in thought, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Tang San's clumsy actions.

At this moment, Tang San was standing in his own courtyard, holding a struggling rabbit in his left hand and a kitchen knife in his right, unsure of how to proceed.

Seeing Jiang Chen's days filled with fish and meat, Tang San had only recently realized that he was severely lacking in nutrition; while he wasn't exactly sallow and emaciated, he was close to it.

Moreover, he was currently learning blacksmithing from his father, and the physical exertion was immense; living on porridge and simple meals every day, he felt as though his body was being hollowed out.

With his skills, catching a few animals was not difficult at all, and the grey rabbit in his hand now was the result of today's efforts.

Tang Hao stood to the side with his arms crossed, showing no intention of helping.

He was a rough man; he knew how to kill people, but he truly had no experience in butchering a small rabbit.

Tang San struggled for a long time before finally making up his mind, pressing the rabbit's head to the ground, and preparing to bring the blade down.

"Tang San, what are you doing?" Jiang Chen walked in, curious.

Tang San stopped his movements, looking somewhat embarrassed as he said, "I'm killing a rabbit."

Jiang Chen was speechless; fortunately, Tang San hadn't met Xiao Wu yet, otherwise, he would definitely be beaten up by her.

"Look at you, your hands are as clumsy as feet. Let me do it."

Tang San's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly handed over the rabbit and the kitchen knife; he had witnessed Jiang Chen's knife skills and culinary arts just yesterday.

Thinking that he would be able to feast again today, Tang San couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"What are you standing there for? Help me hold its four legs," Jiang Chen commanded.

"You got it!" Tang San scurried over to help.

Tang Hao watched the two busy little figures from the side, feeling somewhat satisfied.

"Little Chen, stay here for lunch," Tang Hao said.

"I'd like to, but I have to go back and cook for Grandpa," Jiang Chen said, blinking helplessly.

Tang Hao was at a loss for words, so he could only say, "Then call that old thi... cough, call your grandfather over as well."
