Chapter 81

Li Mang temporarily ignored the ridicule from the clowns outside. He was still in a state of shock and suspicion about the unusual feeling in his body. The reaction just now was still fresh in his mind; his body had 'flown' out as if it were as light as cotton.

"Rui!" Li Mang was not stupid; he immediately figured out the reason. After eating the Rui meat last night, his body had felt light and unsteady. At the time, he thought it was due to the essence of the Rui meat, but now it seemed that was not the case. The Rui meat had actually given his body a new ability.

Was it lightness or flight? Li Mang couldn't guess for sure. He wanted to test it, but with a few clowns still outside, it was really inconvenient. He got up from the grass and glared at the yard outside. It was Pan Zhengcheng from Group Three, with a few lackeys behind him. The stone just now was thrown by him.

"What, are you itching for a fight again!" Li Mang asked coldly.

"..." Pan Zhengcheng immediately put away his smile upon hearing this. He would never forget the humiliation in the cafeteria that day. Because of that, he had worked hard these past few days and made significant progress, breaking through the critical realm of twenty years of cultivation. With the guidance of famous masters and the assistance of potent medicines in Group Tian, his control over dark force was at its peak.

Hearing that Li Mang had returned from his mission, he brought people early in the morning to provoke him. He had seen Li Mang exercising and threw a stone at him.

"Li Mang, I challenge you!" Pan Zhengcheng said coldly. Learning from his past mistake, he decided to follow the rules this time and challenge Li Mang fairly.

"Sure!" Li Mang bared his teeth and did not refuse. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze was sharp. Since they were already enemies, Li Mang was not afraid of offending anyone.

"Hmph!" Pan Zhengcheng snorted, lightly leaped, and directly jumped into the yard to stand opposite Li Mang. The two stood facing each other, and the atmosphere became tense.

Both of their eyes narrowed simultaneously, and without a word, they both moved, testing each other with a palm strike.

"Bang!"

The two clashed and immediately retreated. Li Mang's lips curled slightly, and he remained calm, while Pan Zhengcheng's face turned dark, his hand trembling slightly.

"How is this possible!" Pan Zhengcheng could hardly believe it. As a member of Group Tian, the benefits he enjoyed were far beyond what Li Mang could compare to, and he had a strong sense of superiority.

However, Li Mang had also made progress in these few days, and it seemed even greater than his own! Through that simple test, he still felt a numbness in his palm, as if he had hit a piece of steel. In contrast, Li Mang showed no signs of discomfort, and the smile on his face was clearly mocking. Yes, mocking.

"..." Pan Zhengcheng was both shocked and angry, but more so, he was terrified. The pride of Group Tian was instantly forgotten. The cold sweat trickling down his cheeks made him think about how to end this. Suddenly, he lost all confidence.

Admit defeat? To admit defeat without even fighting would mean he couldn't stay in Group Tian, and with his lack of strong backing, he might even be demoted to Group Di.

But if he didn't admit defeat, he would be beaten again. Although it wouldn't be as humiliating as admitting defeat, the outcome would still be embarrassing. No matter what, it wasn't what he wanted.

"Cough, cough..." Pan Zhengcheng coughed, subtly nodding to Li Mang, as if hinting at something.

"Hey, you still dare to insult me!" Li Mang 'understood' his meaning and immediately became furious, his steel-like fist, filled with inner force, breaking through the air.

"Who insulted you!" Pan Zhengcheng felt wronged. He was clearly hinting for Li Mang to give up the match! But seeing Li Mang's fist coming, he had no choice but to raise his fist to meet it.

"Bang!" Pan Zhengcheng's face turned green, and his body flew backward, breaking through a section of the fence, his appearance in disarray.

"Li Mang, you're strong!" Pan Zhengcheng had to compromise. He was worried that if he continued, he would be thoroughly beaten, but he couldn't bring himself to admit defeat directly. He could only hint at his intention indirectly.

"Hey, you still dare to threaten me!" Li Mang 'understood' his meaning again, and with a heavy step, the 'cotton' feeling returned to his body. He lightly landed in front of Pan Zhengcheng and kicked him, so fast that Pan Zhengcheng couldn't react.

"Damn!" Pan Zhengcheng's face changed drastically, instinctively raising his foot to meet Li Mang's kick.

"Bang!" He was thrown backward again, his back scraping against the grass, and his feet aching. This made Pan Zhengcheng even angrier.

"Too much!" Pan Zhengcheng finally stood up, his palm heavily striking the ground, his body springing up like a coiled spring. He raised his palm and struck Li Mang's chest.

"Come on!" Li Mang was delighted, but unexpectedly, he did not counterattack. Instead, he lightly tiptoed, finding that 'cotton' feeling, and nimbly dodged Pan Zhengcheng's strike.

"Huh?" Pan Zhengcheng's strike missed, and he seemed to notice Li Mang's unusual ability. But in his anger, he didn't think much about it and continued to attack without retracting his hand.

"I'll turn!" Li Mang tried to quickly control his body's movement, but since it was a newly acquired ability, it was difficult to control and not very flexible. Eventually, he was hit by Pan Zhengcheng's palm— "Bang!"

Under this palm, Li Mang's body flew out, but he only felt a slight pain at the point of impact. His tough skin provided great defense. Combined with his body still in the 'cotton' state, he landed lightly a few meters ahead without being injured.

"This is impossible! You've only been cultivating for over twenty years, how can your lightness be so powerful!" Pan Zhengcheng finally saw the abnormality, his face full of shock and disbelief. He also had lightness, but below fifty years of cultivation, it was not very 'light.' Li Mang, who had just surpassed twenty years of cultivation, was still in the 'learning to walk' stage of lightness.

But the lightness Li Mang had just demonstrated could rival the initial stage of fifty years of cultivation. How could this be! This was not just a matter of science but far beyond his understanding.

"Ha ha, Pan Zhengcheng, keep taking it!" Li Mang laughed, not explaining as he floated over. He was just luring Pan Zhengcheng to attack, not to seriously injure him. Li Mang's intention was very clear: he wanted to use Pan Zhengcheng as a free sparring partner.

"..." Pan Zhengcheng almost spat blood but had no choice but to attack. He wanted to admit defeat but couldn't bring himself to lose face, thinking he could endure it.

But in the next few minutes, Pan Zhengcheng was almost driven mad. As Li Mang became more familiar with his new ability, his body became even lighter and more agile. At first, Pan Zhengcheng could still hit him a few times, but later, he couldn't even touch Li Mang's clothes. This was indeed a form of inhuman torture for Pan Zhengcheng.
