Chapter 2

Duan Lingtian smiled.

Playing sandbag? This is something he excels at.

Li Xin, who was tied to the punishment post, was about the same age as Duan Lingtian and had already been sunburned to a bluish color...

Hearing Li Rou's words, he seemed to be energized, "Father, save me!"

"Li Rou, don't push it too far!"

Elder Seven Li Kun was furious.

"Push it too far? Li Kun, usually your son bullies mine. My son is not as skilled, so it's inevitable that he gets hurt, and I accept that. This time, your son almost killed mine. Do you really think I, Li Rou, can be pushed around?"

Li Rou cast a cold glance at Li Kun, her voice filled with intimidating anger.

"Tian'er, go ahead and act. I want to see who dares to stop me from disciplining the young ones today!"

Li Rou's words were full of a woman's boldness.

Though she was a woman, the momentum she displayed was no less than that of a man.

"Head of the family."

Li Kun looked at the family head 'Li Nanfeng' beside him, hoping he would uphold justice.

"Elder Seven, today's matter is a private affair between you and Elder Nine. Try to resolve it privately."

Li Nanfeng shook his head.

"Is he the one who did this to you?"

Murmuring to himself, it was unclear who Duan Lingtian was talking to...

Slap!

Taking a step forward, without a word, he slapped Li Xin directly.

A slight pain came from his palm, and Duan Lingtian frowned slightly.

This body is really too weak...

"Duan Lingtian, if you have the guts, untie me, and we'll fight one-on-one!"

Li Xin, with one side of his face swollen, eyes blazing with fierce light, roared.

"One-on-one? Sorry, I'm not interested... As for whether I have the guts, that's none of your business."

Duan Lingtian smiled, spreading his hands and shrugging indifferently.

Slap!

He slapped Li Xin again.

"This guy's face is really thick."

Duan Lingtian frowned, blew on his aching palm, and looked unhappy.

The surrounding Li family disciples, hearing Duan Lingtian's words, were speechless.

Someone is tied to the punishment post, completely helpless, and you still think his face is thick?

What kind of person is this?

"Still, shoes are more practical."

Bending down, Duan Lingtian took off one of his shoes, held it in his hand, and aimed it at Li Xin's face.

This scene made the Li family disciples present feel a chill in their hearts...

Is Duan Lingtian really going to hit Li Xin's face with a shoe?

If he really does it, Li Xin's face will be a mess!

"Little brat, you're asking for death!"

Li Kun could no longer bear it. His figure moved, and he flew out like a great roc, rushing towards Duan Lingtian.

"I think you're the one asking for death!"

Li Rou also moved, her steps light as if she had turned into the wind, standing in front of Duan Lingtian first.

Her delicate hand extended, glowing with the light of yuan force, and she slapped Li Kun.

At the same time, wisps of white mist appeared in the air above Li Rou's head.

"Li Rou, I want to see how much you, Elder Nine, are worth today."

Li Kun's eyes were cold, his large hand falling like a fan.

Yuan force burst forth, and he used all his strength to meet Li Rou's palm!

In an instant, four faint ancient elephant shadows appeared in the air above Li Kun's head.

Li Kun used all his strength, invoking the power of heaven and earth, creating four ancient elephant shadows...

In other words, the power he was now using was equivalent to that of four ancient elephants!

One ancient elephant has the strength of ten thousand pounds.

"Mother."

Duan Lingtian frowned, somewhat worried.

The Li family disciples watched intently, the confrontation between Elder Seven and Elder Nine was a rare sight.

Slap!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Li Rou and Li Kun met with a palm.

After a moment, Li Rou's body leaned forward slightly, and the white mist above her head also transformed into ancient elephant shadows...

A total of six!

The power of six ancient elephants!

Li Kun's four ancient elephants against Li Rou's six ancient elephants, the result was predictable.

In an instant, Li Kun flew out like an arrow, landing several meters away, looking miserable.

Li Kun's face turned red, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, staring at the six ancient elephant shadows above Li Rou's head, which were gradually dissipating, with a look of disbelief.

"How is this possible... The power of six ancient elephants, Li Rou is actually a Fourth Stage Condensation Realm warrior!"

Li Kun was shocked.

He never expected that.

In the Li family, the usually low-key Elder Nine Li Rou had such terrifying strength!

The Li family disciples present couldn't help but draw a sharp breath:

"The power of six ancient elephants... Elder Nine is so strong!"

"Based on the power of ancient elephants, Elder Nine's strength should have reached the Fourth Stage Condensation Realm."

"Who would have thought that the usually gentle Elder Nine has such strength. If it weren't for Li Xin almost killing Duan Lingtian, we wouldn't have had the chance to see Elder Nine in action."

...

Li Rou stood there, her slender figure appearing incredibly tall.

"Who would have thought that Mother has such strength. Invoking the power of heaven and earth, creating six ancient elephant shadows, she must be at the Fourth Stage Condensation Realm."

Duan Lingtian sighed in relief.

In this world, martial artists start at the 'Body Tempering Realm,' which is divided into nine stages.

Cultivating to the Ninth Stage Body Tempering Realm allows the body to have the strength of ten thousand pounds.

Once they use all their strength, they can invoke the power of heaven and earth, creating the shadow of an ancient elephant, possessing the strength of one ancient elephant.

Above the Body Tempering Realm is the 'Condensation Realm.'

The biggest difference between the Condensation Realm and the Body Tempering Realm is 'yuan force.'

After the Ninth Stage Body Tempering Realm, when yuan force is cultivated, it becomes the First Stage Condensation Realm.

The strength of yuan force at the First Stage Condensation Realm is equivalent to the strength of one ancient elephant, plus the body's strength, allowing for the power of two ancient elephants.

The higher the cultivation, the stronger the power they can control.

"In my previous life, I trained my body with 'Xingyi Quan' and cultivated internal force, and I was almost unmatched on Earth... But the strongest power I could exert with my body and internal force was only ten thousand pounds, equivalent to the Ninth Stage Body Tempering Realm in this world."

"In this world, people's bodies are naturally stronger than those in my previous life on Earth, and yuan force is a higher level than internal force. In my previous life on Earth, I reached the limit of my cultivation... But in this world, my strength is only a starting point."

A smile appeared on Duan Lingtian's lips.

This world is interesting.

"Tian'er, no one will disturb you now, continue."

Li Rou's gentle voice reached Duan Lingtian's ears.

"Father, save me!"

Li Xin's face was blue, his eyes filled with deep fear...

If Duan Lingtian's shoe really hit him, it wouldn't be a joke.

Li Kun's face was dark.

But he dared not make any further moves due to his fear of Li Rou.

Duan Lingtian grinned.

Slap!

The shoe in his hand fell hard.

Li Xin let out a scream, and a shoe print appeared on his face.

Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!

...

Duan Lingtian kept hitting Li Xin's face with the shoe.

Each time the shoe fell, the Li family disciples present couldn't help but shudder, feeling a chill just from the sound.

Until Li Xin fainted, Duan Lingtian stopped.

"You can rest in peace, I have avenged you."

Duan Lingtian silently thought, only he knew who he was talking to.

As he followed his mother Li Rou, Duan Lingtian noticed.

Elder Seven Li Kun looked at him with a bloodthirsty hatred, as if ready to devour him...

His heart sank.

He had seen this look countless times in his previous life.

People with this look are ruthless and will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

In his previous life, anyone who looked at him like this was eliminated before they could act.

"Today's incident is probably just the beginning... I must quickly improve my strength, or I won't even know how I die."

Duan Lingtian felt the pressure.

Although Li Kun is no match for his mother, she can't always be by his side and can't take care of him for life.

To survive in this world where the strong rule, he can only rely on himself.

He needs strength...

Powerful strength!

As the Ninth Elder of the Li family, Li Rou has her own large courtyard.

The courtyard has three bedrooms, one for Li Rou, one for Duan Lingtian, and one for the maid.

After returning, Duan Lingtian greeted Li Rou and went back to his room.

"Tian'er seems different after this injury..."

As the person closest to Duan Lingtian, Li Rou also noticed some differences in him after he woke up.

She didn't think much of it, assuming her son was just scared.

How could she know that her son's body was still there, but his soul had been replaced?

Back in his room, Duan Lingtian sat on the bed, looking gloomy.

From the unfamiliar memories, he learned that the original owner of this body had been weak and sickly since childhood.

To complete body tempering and reach the First Stage Body Tempering Realm to become a martial artist was as difficult as climbing to the heavens.

"How could your mother, who is so strong, give birth to such a weakling! I'm unlucky to be stuck in your body."

Duan Lingtian cursed in his heart.

"Ha ha ha ha..."

At this moment, a series of eerie, hoarse laughs suddenly echoed in Duan Lingtian's mind.

"Who is it?"

Duan Lingtian's face changed.

"Boy, I didn't expect you to have such a strong soul, not even destroyed by me! But it's the same now... No, you're not that boy, who are you?! Damn, you dare to take the body I wanted, die!!"

The hoarse voice, at the end, suddenly changed, filled with violence and anger.
