Chapter 8

The crowd walked up in confusion, and their faces immediately turned dark. They saw that the iron target in the training room had been completely split in half, the upper part crashing to the ground with a loud thud!

On the ground, there were large patches of blood that sent chills down everyone's spines!

Everyone's hearts twitched violently, "Is this kid even human?"

In the next moment, Li Yunxiao appeared in the gravity room, causing quite a shock. But it quickly subsided, and the students who saw him all had bitter smiles. His intense training, like a powerful stimulant, was injected into the hearts of each student, and their original training plans were immediately doubled!

Li Yunxiao felt that his appearance was too showy, so he immediately took out a clean set of clothes from his storage ring and put them on, then quickly walked back to the dormitory.

The effectiveness of the Overlord Body Tempering Technique was indeed incredibly powerful, but the pain was also unbearable for ordinary people. Almost every inch of his skin and muscles was torn, and every capillary burst with blood. By the end of the training, Li Yunxiao was almost on the verge of fainting from the pain, but he continued to endure it by sheer instinct!

Which of the strong who can cultivate to the level of a Martial Emperor is a normal person? They all endure a hundred times the hardships of ordinary people to achieve a hundred times the success!

There are no shortcuts on the path to becoming a strong person!

After returning to the dormitory, Li Yunxiao immediately took a shower. The originally scarred and shocking skin became smooth as jade after the rinse, without a single scar. With his body movements, he clearly felt a long-lost strength, though still very weak, it already made Li Yunxiao very satisfied.

"Truly the number one body tempering technique in the world, even more powerful than using ninth-grade spirit medicines to cleanse the body. With the strength of a Martial Disciple's body, I can also try some simple refining. As long as I can produce some low-grade pills, my cultivation speed can be further accelerated!"

The strength of an alchemist depends on the amount of soul power, but in many basic refining processes, the body must also reach a certain level of strength.

He was just planning to buy some medicinal herbs and refining tools when he suddenly felt a chill at the back of his head, and a gust of wind suddenly attacked him. He instinctively grunted coldly and, without looking, grabbed backward with his palm.

"Slap!"

A burst of air hit his palm, and Li Yunxiao's fingers clenched, his whole body flipping in the air, his right hand spinning 360 degrees downward!

"Crack, crack, crack~"

The sound of bones cracking was accompanied by a huge scream, "Young Master Yun, it's me! My arm!"

Li Yunxiao then saw the person clearly and was stunned, "Fatty Han?"

Han Bai was in pain, his teeth clenched, and his arm almost twisted like a rope. He cried, "Young Master Yun, my arm is ruined!"

Li Yunxiao said irritably, "What kind of sneak attack is this? You deserve it! It's just that your bones are broken into seven pieces. Go to the school infirmary and mix some Huang Qi seeds with flour, apply it for a few days, and you'll be fine."

"I noticed you were acting strange last time, so I wanted to test you." Han Bai said incredulously, "Young Master Yun, your strength... Could it be..."

Li Yunxiao shook his head, "I haven't opened my pulse wheel yet. What do you want from me?"

Han Bai's eyes widened in disappointment, "You're so powerful and you haven't even opened your pulse wheel? Where have you been these few days? Teacher Luo Yunshang has been looking for you everywhere."

"What does that little girl want from me? To punish me to the gravity room?" Li Yunxiao said indifferently.

Han Bai broke out in a cold sweat, "Little girl... Young Master Yun, are you out of your mind? Want to die, just say it. There's another thing, it might be a big trouble! These few days, Lan Fei hasn't been seen either. It's said he's in seclusion, trying to break through to the First Essence Realm! You crippled Du Feng and Luo Jie, and when he comes out of seclusion, he'll definitely come for you first!"

Li Yunxiao looked at Han Bai's worried face and smiled, "Calm down, it's just the First Essence Realm."

"Just the First Essence Realm?" Han Bai was angry, "Do you know what the First Essence Realm means? It means condensing essence energy, truly entering the level of a Martial Warrior, becoming a true martial artist! The difference between a Martial Warrior and us Martial Disciples is enormous! Princess Ru Xue, Chen Zhen, and I have been worried about you for days, and you're saying it's just the First Essence Realm!"

"Ha ha," Li Yunxiao smiled faintly. Martial Warrior? Not even worthy to lick his shoes! Although he currently had no cultivation, a mere Martial Warrior was nothing to him. Whether it was Yu Hesheng or Lan Fei, they were no different from three-year-old children in his eyes.

"I plan to buy some things recently, and I'm a bit short on money. Can you lend me some to spend?" Although Li Yunxiao was the eldest son of the Li family, he had long been ostracized by the family, and his pocket money was given sparingly, so compared to other young masters, he was quite poor.

Han Bai's eyes widened in surprise, "You're really not worried at all? You know, in this year's freshman class of over three thousand people, only about thirty have broken through to the Martial Warrior level. This achievement, even in the poor class, is considered top-notch!"

Their class was full of children from powerful families, so they habitually called other classes the "poor class." However, their class's overall strength was the worst in the entire grade, so other classes called them the "garbage class."

"Ha ha, I'm worried, but it's no use. How much money do you have? Lend it all to me, I'll pay you back later."

"Young Master Yun, I feel like you've changed a lot! I really admire you!"

Han Bai took out his storage bag and poured out a pile of gold coins, "There are about two or three hundred, enough for you to spend for a year!"

Li Yunxiao unceremoniously took them all, "Although it's a bit less, it will do for now." He picked up a gold coin and flicked it back to Han Bai, "Take it to buy medicine. Your arm must be treated within twelve hours, or it will really be ruined."

Han Bai was scared and quickly ran out with the gold coin. Just as he reached the door, there was a loud "bang," and his fat body flew back, spitting out a stream of blood and falling at Li Yunxiao's feet, unconscious. A clear footprint was visible on his bulging belly.

"Stupid thing, not knowing when to die!"

A cold snort came from outside the door, and a black shadow was thrown in, landing next to Fatty Han. The person was covered in blood, his face swollen like a winter melon, groaning on the ground, mumbling something incoherent. Li Yunxiao stared for a while before recognizing Chen Zhen.

"Li Yunxiao, you dare to touch my people, today I'll cripple you completely!"

More than ten people rushed in from outside, led by Lan Fei. He walked proudly at the front, his aura rising with each step. When he reached Li Yunxiao, a dazzling light emanated from his body, terrifyingly powerful!

The light of essence energy, the mark of a Martial Warrior!

"Boss, you've really advanced to the Martial Warrior level, you must avenge me!" Du Feng cried loudly behind him, his crotch swollen like a basin, clearly wrapped in too many bandages, which hadn't been removed yet.

Luo Jie, standing beside him, was pale, his eyes filled with murderous rage, trembling with anger.

"It's just the First Essence Realm, and you have to glow all over, do you think you're a night pearl?" Li Yunxiao bent down to check Han Bai and Chen Zhen's injuries. Although they looked severe, they weren't fatal, so he was relieved, but a hint of killing intent already burned in his eyes, "And you two, it's only been three days, why has your voice changed? Hmm, what happened to the beards on your faces?"

"Ah!"

This sentence hit Du Feng's sore spot, and he spat out a mouthful of blood in anger, shouting, "Kill him, kill him! Boss, you must kill him!" His voice had a high-pitched tone, almost like a woman's, making everyone break out in cold sweat and shudder.

Lan Fei also shuddered, subconsciously tiptoeing to the side, pointing at Li Yunxiao and shouting angrily, "Will you kneel and beg for forgiveness, or do I have to break your limbs and cripple you completely?"

Although Li Yunxiao was a waste, he could bully him at will, but if he really killed him, he had great reservations. After all, killing him would be a slap in the face to the Li family, tearing apart the superficial peace between the two families, with unpredictable consequences. So this time, he only intended to cripple Li Yunxiao and humiliate him, to vent Du Feng's anger.

"Cripple me?" Li Yunxiao's eyes turned cold, and his aura suddenly spread out. Although there was no oppressive force, a hard-to-describe aura condensed in the air, making Lan Fei and the others feel extremely uncomfortable, their palms sweating, "I haven't heard such arrogant words in a long time."

What's going on? Why do I have this trembling feeling?

Lan Fei was shocked, a sense of fear spreading through his body. He mustered his courage and roared, a black iron sword appearing in his hand, and without a word, he slashed at Li Yunxiao!

The fear was inexplicable, making him restless. He feared that if he didn't act decisively, he might never dare to act again! It felt like standing on a small boat facing a massive storm.

"How can I have this feeling, it's absurd!" He immediately cleared his mind, using full strength in both hands, and slashed down with a wide, powerful motion!

"Decisive and without hesitation, not bad, not bad." Li Yunxiao nodded in approval, a black iron sword appearing in his hand, casually held horizontally in front of his chest. This simple gesture blocked all of Lan Fei's sword momentum!

Daring to mock me, asking for death!

Hearing Li Yunxiao's praise, Lan Fei was furious, his face turning red. He increased the strength in his hands, even pouring a bit of essence energy to protect his meridians into the black iron sword, and struck down with 120% of his strength!

"Clang!"

The two swords collided with a loud sound, sparks flying. The immense force from the black iron sword made Li Yunxiao's tiger's mouth split, his arms numb, and he was sent flying. However, he didn't lose his balance, landing a few steps back. A deep cut mark appeared on the black iron sword!
