You and He Are Both Trash

Su Qingqing's face twitched violently at the sound of Lin Changkong's voice.

In her memory, even when Lin Changkong had been sent to serve as cannon fodder or to his death, he had always run over eagerly.

And now, he had actually called her a lowly sow!

Fury instantly set her ablaze.

"Lin Changkong, I know you're only doing this because I treat Brother Qingyun well and you're jealous. But you and us have long ceased to belong to the same world. No matter how jealous you are of Brother Qingyun, it won't change the fact that you're trash."

Su Qingqing rose through gritted teeth, gathering her strength as she prepared to attack.

"You're merely at the Body Refining Second Level, while I'm already at the Body Refining Fifth Level. What right do you have to humiliate me? Today, I'll make you see just how great the gap between you and us truly is!"

Su Qingqing clenched her fist, stepped forward, and punched toward Lin Changkong's face.

At that moment, Lin Changkong suddenly stepped forward. Though he moved later, he struck first, driving a punch into her chest.

Eight Extremes Collapse Fist!

Bang!

Before Su Qingqing could even touch Lin Changkong, a tremendous force erupted in her chest. She flew a full zhang away, then rolled several times across the ground.

Her face instantly went pale, and she curled into a ball.

Lin Changkong walked over and looked down at her with a cold sneer. "You're right. We no longer belong to the same world, because you're too weak. You'll never catch up to me in this lifetime.

You asked what right I have to humiliate you. This is my right!

Remember this: I'm not targeting you. I'm saying that you and Zhang Qingyun are both trash!"

Su Qingqing curled up on the ground like a dog, her face trembling violently. As she looked at Lin Changkong before her, her heart was filled with disbelief.

How could this be?!

She remembered clearly that only a few days ago, Lin Changkong had displayed the strength of the Body Refining Second Level. How could he suddenly defeat her in an instant?

Could it be that he had been hiding his strength all along, that he had actually reached the Body Refining Fifth Level long ago—or even the Body Refining Sixth Level?

But no matter what, she could not accept this outcome.

He had clearly always been her lapdog, yet now he suddenly refused to fawn over her and was even stronger than she was. Why?!

"Fine, Lin Changkong. From today onward, all ties between us are severed! You'd better pray that you don't run into my Brother Qingyun in tomorrow's qualifying match. Otherwise, you'll definitely regret it!"

Su Qingqing struggled up from the ground, her face twisting from pain and rage.

After delivering her threat, she turned to leave.

"Wait."

Lin Changkong suddenly called out to her.

Joy surged in Su Qingqing's heart. She thought Lin Changkong was afraid. After all, Zhang Qingyun had already reached the Body Refining Seventh Level, and Lin Changkong knew that.

Even if Lin Changkong had reached the Body Refining Fifth Level, or even the Body Refining Sixth Level, he could never be Zhang Qingyun's match.

She immediately turned around, raising her nose to the sky as she looked at Lin Changkong. With a cold snort, she said, "What, now you know fear? If you do, then kneel and apologize to me right away. Maybe I'll consider letting you keep being my lapdog."

Lin Changkong frowned and punched her in the chest again, sending her flying another zhang away.

"You're dreaming if you think that's happening. I only wanted to say that you'd better talk less in front of me from now on. Your voice sounds like a pig squealing—it makes me sick!"

"As for Zhang Qingyun, I'm really looking forward to meeting him tomorrow. When the time comes, I'll let him know exactly how weak he is."

Su Qingqing lay on the ground, her body convulsing with pain. Turbulent waves surged through her heart, and her mentality shattered on the spot.

He had not been afraid. He had wanted to beat her up.

When had this bastard become so ruthless?!

Lin Changkong turned and left, leaving Su Qingqing curled on the ground, dripping with cold sweat as her state of mind collapsed like a mountain avalanche.

After returning to his room, Lin Changkong found that stalk of Hundred Spirits Grass. The medicinal effects of Hundred Spirits Grass were greatly beneficial to cultivators in the Body Tempering Realm, capable of improving the effectiveness and speed of body refinement.

Its method of use was also simple and crude: eat it directly.

He hesitated, wondering whether he should eat it now and see what effect it had.

[Hundred Spirits Grass can improve the effectiveness and speed of Body Tempering Realm cultivation. It is recommended that the host use it together with the distribution of cultivation, allowing its effects to be maximized.]

"Use it together with the distribution of cultivation? In other words, swallow it when my cultivation is distributed each day?"

[Correct. External items beneficial to cultivation can be used in conjunction with distributed cultivation, producing a greater increase. Furthermore, after being processed by the system, any external item will leave behind no side effects.]

[The host may use external items to increase cultivation faster and reach the next major realm. With every increase in major realm, the cultivation distributed each day will also rise accordingly.]

[Upon reaching the next major realm, 'Qi Gathering,' one hundred years of cultivation will be distributed each day.]

"Holy shit!"

"How much? A hundred years!"

Lin Changkong laughed. Sure enough, all roads led to Rome, but only those with cheats were truly plain and unadorned.

With the aptitude of this body, if nothing unexpected happened, he might indeed remain stuck in the Body Tempering Realm for his entire life. Breaking through to the Qi Gathering Realm would already be an immense blessing.

Trying to go any further would be almost impossible.

But now things were different. Ten years of cultivation a day meant breaking through to the Qi Gathering Realm would be as easy as turning over his hand.

And once he reached the Qi Gathering Realm, he would receive a hundred years of cultivation each day. Even a dog could be smashed into becoming a spirit with that!

And this was only the Qi Gathering Realm. If he broke through further into the Core Formation Realm, how much cultivation would he receive each day?

A genius?

No, genius was merely the threshold for meeting me!

Training grounds.

Su Qingqing stood before a young man with a face full of grievance. The young man wore luxurious clothes, forming a stark contrast to the plainly dressed Lin Changkong.

He was Su Qingqing's current lover, Zhang Qingyun.

Zhang Qingyun had been born into a wealthy merchant family. From childhood, he had been dressed in fine clothes and fed exquisite food, with resources piled onto him. Thus, he had started much earlier and under far better conditions than most menial disciples.

He was usually rather arrogant. Aside from the few who were stronger than him, he looked down on all the other menial disciples.

"Brother Qingyun, you have to avenge me! Lin Changkong is far too ungrateful. I told him to give you the Hundred Spirits Grass, but he refused. Not only that, he beat me up and even insulted you, Brother Qingyun.

I can endure him hitting me, but no matter what, I can't endure him humiliating you. My body and heart both belong to you, Brother Qingyun."

Zhang Qingyun snorted coldly. "This Lin Changkong is quite capable of hiding himself. If he could defeat you, then he should be at the Body Refining Sixth Level.

"But don't worry. Even if he concealed his strength, he can be no higher than the Body Refining Sixth Level. I had already reached the Body Refining Seventh Level a month ago. Dealing with him will be as easy as turning over my hand.

"Tomorrow's qualifying match, I'll have someone secretly arrange for me to face him. When the time comes, I'll personally break all four of his limbs as the price for making amends to you."

Su Qingqing was overjoyed. She immediately wrapped her arms around Zhang Qingyun's waist and leaned against his chest, saying in a coquettish tone, "Brother Qingyun, you're so good to me. I knew I hadn't chosen the wrong man.

"Hmph, Lin Changkong, just wait for my Brother Qingyun to break all four of your limbs tomorrow and turn you into a complete cripple!"
