Lin Changkong looked at Ye Wuchen, who wore the face of a rogue yet had thoroughly vented his anger for him, and secretly marveled.
The Heavenly Fire Sect truly brimmed with talent. It was genuinely rare for them to produce an elder with a personality like Ye Wuchen's.
Ye Wuchen had been willing to stop Luo Qingyi for his sake, and Lin Changkong's favorable impression of him rose sharply.
Luo Qingyi's face turned livid with rage, but Ye Wuchen was also an elder. His cultivation was no weaker than hers, and in all likelihood, even surpassed hers.
If they fought, she might not necessarily lose, but she could not win either. Yet with that mouth of Ye Wuchen's, he would definitely infuriate her half to death.
Besides, she truly had no proof that Lin Changkong had maliciously bullied his fellow disciples. It was more that, upon hearing he came from the Servant Courtyard, she had despised him from the bottom of her heart and felt that bullying him was no big deal.
But with Ye Wuchen stepping in, things were different.
If Ye Wuchen exposed this matter, she would lose a great deal of face. The Heavenly Fire Sect itself permitted competition among disciples, and as long as things did not get too out of hand, no one would interfere.
She had already been in the wrong by rashly making a move, and Ye Wuchen was famous for having a big mouth. If he spread the matter around outside, she truly would be too ashamed to face anyone.
Ye Wuchen looked utterly relaxed as he said again, "If you're not convinced, then let's fight. Going by your logic, whoever gets beaten has the right on their side. I'll break your legs too, and then you'll definitely be in the right.
When the time comes, you can go complain about me to the Sect Master. Wouldn't that be a sure win? Why don't you sacrifice one of those beautiful legs and give it a try?"
Luo Qingyi forcibly suppressed her anger and snorted coldly. "Hmph! Ye Wuchen, today I'll be magnanimous and won't argue with you. From now on, I'll keep a close eye on this Lin Changkong.
He'd better not leave any leverage in my hands. Otherwise, I'll make him regret it!"
Ye Wuchen rolled his eyes. "Magnanimous? Bullshit! If you aren't confident you can beat me, just say so. What fucking point is there in spouting that crap?
I'll be keeping a close eye on Lin Changkong too, so you'd better not leave any leverage in my hands either. Otherwise, I'll fuck you to death."
"Ye Wuchen!!!"
Luo Qingyi had already been desperately holding back her anger, but Ye Wuchen's sudden final remark instantly made her rage soar to the heavens. She flew into a furious tantrum.
Her face went from livid to the color of pig liver.
She only wished she could swallow Ye Wuchen alive.
Hearing Ye Wuchen's ferocious, wolf-and-tiger words, Lin Changkong secretly gave him a thumbs-up and called him fucking awesome.
Ye Wuchen waved a broad hand. "That's just how I talk. If you don't like it, fight me. If you won't fight, then fuck off. I don't have time to waste on you."
Luo Qingyi's face twitched violently several times. She turned and left, her icy voice drifting back on the wind. "Ye Wuchen, one day, I'll tear that mouth of yours apart!"
Ye Wuchen merely chuckled, not taking her words to heart at all.
Seeing the situation, Gong Lian and Gong Cheng immediately knew things had gone bad and hastily dragged the unconscious Liu Qing away.
Ye Wuchen did not stop them. Though his words were unpleasant, he had not sunk to Luo Qingyi's level of bullying disciples.
Even if they had grievances with Lin Changkong, that was a matter between disciples and should be resolved by themselves.
Lin Changkong cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Elder Ye."
Ye Wuchen waved him off. "Thank my ass. That woman Luo Qingyi is famous for bullying the weak and fearing the strong. I just can't stand that ugly face of hers.
Besides, even if I hadn't come, she would at most have threatened you. She wouldn't have dared lay a truly heavy hand on you. The sect rules are right there, and she doesn't have the ability to ignore them. At most, she'd give you the full confinement package.
But now it's different. You made her lose face, so she'll definitely find a way to target you. While she can't act directly, finding a few disciples to make a move will be easy enough.
So you need to be prepared. We aren't afraid of trouble, but we can't be too careless either."
Lin Changkong nodded. "Thank you for the reminder, Elder Ye. I'll be prepared. By the way, Elder Ye, what realm is Luo Qingyi at now?"
Ye Wuchen said, "Core Formation Realm Fifth Level. What, from the sound of you, do you want to beat her up yourself?"
Lin Changkong said, "I do have that idea."
"HAHAHAHA..."
Ye Wuchen burst into laughter and heavily patted his shoulder, looking deeply appreciative.
"I like your kind of personality. I'll remember those words, and I'll wait to see you beat her up with your own hands someday. You bastard, it's like your second dick grew on your forehead—you've got the bearing to fuck the sun!"
"HAHAHAHA..."
Watching Ye Wuchen throw back his head and laugh wildly, even Lin Changkong, who had lived two lives, felt his heart twitch.
If you had even the slightest bearing of an elder, I wouldn't believe you could say such wolf-and-tiger nonsense!
Courtyard.
Zhang Qingfeng looked at the Gong Cheng and Gong Lian brothers, whose legs were crippled as they sobbed miserably, and his expression was extremely ugly.
"You're saying that Lin Changkong was still at the Body Refining Ninth Level in the morning, yet broke through to the Qi Gathering Realm by afternoon, beat Liu Qing badly, and then broke your legs?"
Even Zhang Qingfeng found the words he had just repeated difficult to accept.
Breaking through an entire major realm in half a day—was that even possible?
Yet he had seen Gong Lian and the others' injuries with his own eyes. They could not be fake.
Gong Cheng cried, "It's absolutely true, Senior Brother. That brat is insanely vicious for some reason. You have to find a way to avenge us. We can't suffer this humiliation for nothing!"
Zhang Qingfeng furrowed his brows, his expression growing even uglier.
"Hmph! A piece of trash from the Servant Courtyard could never break through to the Qi Gathering Realm in half a day. He must have concealed his strength beforehand, which also matches the information my cousin sent me.
Trash is still trash. Even with a bit of luck, he won't amount to anything. Don't worry. I'll arrange this matter. The New Disciple Martial Competition is the day after tomorrow. When the time comes, I'll make him leave lying down—perhaps never able to stand again for the rest of his life!"
Zhang Qingfeng snorted coldly, his eyes brimming with killing intent.
Lin Changkong returned to his residence and pondered the matter along the way.
From the looks of it, Luo Qingyi was most likely Zhang Qingfeng's master. In that case, their grudge could certainly not be resolved peacefully.
He was not worried about Zhang Qingfeng. He was merely in the Qi Gathering Realm. Starting tomorrow, he would be able to claim one hundred years of cultivation every day, so catching up to Zhang Qingfeng would not be difficult.
Luo Qingyi was more troublesome. She was at the Core Formation Realm Fifth Level, so dealing with her would definitely take some time.
Moreover, with the innate talent of this body, breaking through to the Core Formation Realm would certainly be a major hurdle.
The higher one's realm, the greater the talent required for breakthroughs. It was not something that could be achieved merely through the accumulation of time.
Still, this did not worry him too much. He believed that as long as he had resources, a breakthrough was only a matter of time.
He simply wanted to reach the Core Formation Realm faster. When that time came, he would personally beat Luo Qingyi until she crawled all over the ground looking for her teeth.
"No rush. With a cheat like me, how could I possibly be afraid of her? What a joke!"
Lin Changkong laughed, then went to sleep with a clear conscience.
After waking the next day, the first thing he did was claim his cultivation.
"One hundred years of cultivation—I'd like to see what level it can bring me to. But this time, I can't only raise my realm. I need to improve my martial arts as well."
Lin Changkong opened the Body Tempering Pills he had taken from Gong Cheng and Gong Lian yesterday and swallowed them all in one gulp.
For ordinary people, they definitely could not consume so many Body Tempering Pills at once. Not only would they be unable to digest them, they might even burst apart from the strain.
But he had the system and would not suffer any aftereffects, so he feared nothing at all.
"System, claim my cultivation."
