Chapter 122: The Powerful Flesh!
The pain brought by body tempering is something that an ordinary person simply cannot endure.
Each time one undergoes body tempering, the pain is several times worse than the last!
This is the reason why the vast majority of cultivators are unwilling to experience body tempering again.
At this moment, Fang Yu, who was undergoing his one-hundredth body tempering, was enduring unimaginable pain.
He gritted his teeth, his gaze sharp, and an extremely terrifying aura faintly radiated from his body.
Under the influence of this aura, the large tree behind him was bent and swayed precariously.
The pain was gnawing at Fang Yu’s spirit.
Every inch of his skin was in a state of excruciating agony.
If the highest level of pain defined by humans is ten, then the pain Fang Yu was currently enduring was at least in the tens of thousands.
Fang Yu clenched his teeth, his eyes flashing with a red glow.
He knew he had to grit his teeth and hold on; otherwise, as his master had said, he could truly face the destruction of his physical body due to excessive body tempering.
The pain continued to rise, and Fang Yu’s body began to tremble slightly.
But Fang Yu was very clear that as long as he endured this period, his one-hundredth body tempering would be successful.
One minute, two minutes, ten minutes…
Thirty minutes…
An hour later, the pain on Fang Yu’s body completely disappeared.
Fang Yu sat on the ground and let out a long breath.
At this moment, his body was completely soaked.
But in his eyes, there was only astonishment.
Because he discovered that his entire body was radiating a dazzling golden light.
“What is this…”
Fang Yu lowered his head and clenched his hands.
The pressure in the entire space seemed to twist, and the air pressure suddenly dropped!
“Boom!”
The large tree behind Fang Yu could no longer support itself, breaking in half and falling down.
“What is this…”
Fang Yu squinted slightly, looking at his own body.
He discovered the source of the golden light emanating from him.
It was his bones inside his body.
Hand bones, leg bones, rib bones…
“Could it be…” Fang Yu’s expression changed slightly as he looked around for some tools.
There was a toolbox in his vegetable garden that contained a kitchen knife and a sickle.
So, he took a step forward, intending to walk back to the vegetable garden.
“Boom!”
The ground where he stepped directly shattered, creating a depression!
Fang Yu frowned, completely retracting the power within him, and gently took a second step.
“Boom!”
Another loud noise, and the ground where he stepped was still shattered!
Fang Yu’s expression changed.
After this body tempering, he was having a bit of trouble controlling the power of this physical body!
But he wasn’t anxious; he had just finished body tempering, and his body hadn’t recovered from the numbness yet.
He just needed a little time to adapt.
Fang Yu didn’t rush back to the vegetable garden; otherwise, he was afraid he would destroy it.
He sat cross-legged, wanting to wait for the numbness in his body to pass.
But as soon as he sat down, there was another ‘boom,’ and he sat down into a large pit…
…
Two hours passed.
The golden light on Fang Yu’s body slowly dissipated, and the numbness in his body also disappeared. He finally managed to control his power.
He walked back to the vegetable garden and took a kitchen knife from the toolbox.
He wanted to cut his hand to see if the blood that flowed out was also golden.
However, he held the sharp kitchen knife and tried to cut his arm back and forth a dozen times, but he couldn’t break the skin.
So, Fang Yu increased his strength.
“Bang!”
The blade of the kitchen knife shattered.
“Damn!”
…
After returning home, to avoid causing unnecessary damage, Fang Yu was exceptionally careful whether walking or eating.
He was so cautious that even Wang Yan and Yu Yueyue felt that Fang Yu was a bit stealthy, looking… quite strange.
“Xiao Yu, what’s wrong with you?” In the evening, seeing Fang Yu drinking water by pinching the edge of the cup with two fingers, Wang Yan finally couldn’t help but ask.
“Aunt Wang, I’m undergoing a special training; you don’t need to mind me.” Fang Yu smiled and then walked back to his room quietly.
…
Fang Yu spent the entire night training his muscle memory to master his current physical body.
Due to the body tempering and a night without sleep, Fang Yu was extremely tired and fell asleep on his desk as soon as he arrived in the classroom.
“Why are you sleeping as soon as you arrive? Did you go rob a bank last night?” Tang Xiaorou, sitting nearby, muttered, “I brought you European-style bread today, made by Butler Liu; it’s so delicious… I’ve also been learning to make bread recently, so I can make it myself in the future…”
Tang Xiaorou placed a bottle of milk and a pink European-style bread beside Fang Yu.
But Fang Yu remained sprawled on the desk, completely unresponsive.
Tang Xiaorou poked Fang Yu’s arm again, but there was still no reaction.
“You should eat breakfast before sleeping! Butler Liu worked hard to make this bread!” Tang Xiaorou said unhappily.
But Fang Yu ignored her completely.
“If you don’t get up to eat, I won’t bring you breakfast anymore!” Tang Xiaorou said angrily.
Fang Yu still lay on the desk, seemingly already asleep.
“You…” Tang Xiaorou was so angry that her face turned red, but there was nothing she could do. She huffed and turned away.
She would never bring breakfast to Fang Yu again! That jerk who disrespected others’ hard work!
It wasn’t until the school bell rang at noon that Fang Yu finally lifted his head and stretched.
Tang Xiaorou glanced at Fang Yu, snorted coldly, and got up to leave.
Fang Yu was puzzled, yawned, feeling a bit hungry, and also got up to head to the cafeteria.
…
Fang Yu was sitting in a corner of the cafeteria eating with Liu Pangzi Li Bingyan.
After eating for a while, a figure walked up beside Fang Yu, bringing a waft of fragrance.
“Fang Yu, there’s still a seat here; is it convenient for me to sit down?” The one speaking was Xia Tinghe.
Fang Yu glanced at her, slightly frowned, and was about to refuse.
“Convenient, of course! We’re almost done eating; this whole table is yours!” Li Bingyan immediately replied, pulling the still munching Liu Pangzi away from the table.
“Thank you.” Xia Tinghe smiled and sat down opposite Fang Yu.
This scene was witnessed by dozens of students around, causing an uproar.
How could one of the school beauties, Xia Tinghe, take the initiative to approach this boy!?
…
“Fang Yu, I…” Xia Tinghe sat down and was about to speak.
“You don’t need to say much; I’ve already said I’m not interested in meeting your grandfather.” Fang Yu saidfaintly.
Xia Tinghe’s expression stiffened for a moment, then she forced a smile and said, “Fang Yu, I haven’t even spoken yet; I’m not here for my grandfather. I just want to be friends with you.”
Nearby students were all eavesdropping on the conversation between Xia Tinghe and Fang Yu.
“That’s even easier; I don’t want to be friends with you.” Fang Yu saidfaintly.
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar around them.
This boy actually rejected Xia Tinghe’s request for friendship?
How many boys dream of such a thing!
At this moment, Tang Xiaorou was just a short distance away, preparing to get her food.
She usually didn’t come to the cafeteria, but today she came because of an invitation from a female classmate.
While talking with her classmates, she suddenly heard the commotion around her and turned her head, just in time to see Fang Yu and Xia Tinghe sitting together talking.
Tang Xiaorou’s expression changed slightly.
No wonder he didn’t even eat breakfast today…
So that’s how it is!
Tang Xiaorou suddenly felt a surge of anger and quickly walked over to Fang Yu’s table.
“You better not get too close to me; I don’t like trouble.” Fang Yu saidfaintly to Xia Tinghe.
Xia Tinghe’s expression changed slightly, about to speak.
“Fang Yu!”
At this moment, a delicate voice rang out beside him.
Tang Xiaorou walked up to Fang Yu.
Seeing Tang Xiaorou’s aggressive demeanor, Fang Yu frowned slightly.
“Fang Yu, why didn’t you call me to eat?” Tang Xiaorou questioned.
“Why should I call you?” Fang Yu retorted.
Tang Xiaorou bit her lip and glanced at Xia Tinghe.
This girl is really beautiful… No wonder Fang Yu was attracted to her…
Looking closely at Xia Tinghe’s face, Tang Xiaorou suddenly felt a bit insecure about herself.
But soon, she made a decision.
“Because I’m your deskmate…” Tang Xiaorou’s voice suddenly softened, her face slightly flushed.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding boys’ expressions changed.
Deskmate?
This boy is actually the deskmate of another school beauty, Tang Xiaorou?
They were about to vomit blood.
Who is this ordinary-looking boy? How could he make two school beauties fight to sit at the same table with him?
The discussions around them grew louder.
Fang Yu knew that if this continued, he would inevitably become famous throughout the school.
So, he stood up and left without looking back.
Both Tang Xiaorou and Xia Tinghe’s expressions changed, wanting to call out to Fang Yu.
As soon as they spoke, both were stunned and exchanged glances.
Tang Xiaorou huffed and turned to leave.
Xia Tinghe bit her pink lip, watching Fang Yu’s departing figure, her beautiful eyes filled with indignation.
This Fang Yu is too arrogant!
If it weren’t for her grandfather’s orders, she wouldn’t even want to say another word to Fang Yu!
But her grandfather’s attitude was too strong; she couldn’t refuse.
“I received intel that a few weeks ago, a young man named Fang Yu defeated the renowned martial arts genius Yang Jian on the competition stage of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association and completely crippled his cultivation!” Xia Heguang said.
“Isn’t it just a coincidence? The Fang Yu at school only has a cultivation of innate seventh stage, how could he possibly defeat a master-level Yang Jian?” Xia Tinghe said.
“That’s why I asked you to investigate and see if this Fang Yu is the same as that one…” Xia Heguang said.
…
In the afternoon after school, Fang Yu walked home slowly as usual.
Xia Tinghe silently followed behind Fang Yu, keeping about fifty meters of distance.
Fang Yu had long sensed Xia Tinghe’s presence, but he didn’t want to pay attention.
After walking for a while, Fang Yu suddenly felt something was off.
There was not just Xia Tinghe following him.
There were also two extremely concealed gazes quietly watching Fang Yu.
Are there assassins again?
Fang Yu stopped in his tracks, his eyes turning cold.
Just right; he could use them to test the power of his body after the one-hundredth tempering!
