Chapter 23: One Step Closer to Leaving the Foundation Establishment Stage!

 

Fang Yu returned to the second floor and opened the eighteen boxes of monster beast inner dan.

Second tier, second tier, second tier… third tier!

Among the eighteen monster beast inner dan, there were only four third-tier inner dan; the rest were all second-tier.

Of course, Fang Yu did not expect any high-tier inner dan from the secular families, even from the Qin family.

Then, Fang Yu began to swallow these monster beast inner dan one by one.

Streams of spiritual energy were absorbed by Fang Yu.

Fang Yu finally broke through again, and it was a consecutive breakthrough of two levels.

He reached the 9,834th level of the Qi Refining Stage, getting one step closer to the 10,000th level.

…

In the afternoon, Fang Yu went out to the vegetable garden. On a secluded path outside the village in the city, he encountered a luxury car that stopped in front of him.

Getting out of the car was Ji Dongshan, dressed in a suit.

“Mr. Fang, I’ve received news that the Yang family has sent Bai Zhan with the goal of eliminating you. You need to come with me quickly; with the protection of the Ji family, Bai Zhan won’t have the chance to act against you,” Ji Dongshan said anxiously.

“Bai Zhan?” Fang Yu’s lips curled into a slight smile.

Last time at the Tang family, he had already warned Bai Zhan and the Yang family, but it seemed Bai Zhan did not take the warning seriously.

“If he wants to come, let him come. What do I have to fear?” Fang Yu replied.

“Mr. Fang, please believe us. Bai Zhan is a ninth-tier innate martial artist with extraordinary strength; he is not someone you can easily deal with. Moreover, the Yang family is known for their ruthlessness. If they want to eliminate you, they will definitely not send just one Bai Zhan; there will surely be many backup plans.”

This was not said by Ji Dongshan, but by Ji Rubi, who poked her head out of the car.

Ji Rubi’s face still lacked color, and her injuries were clearly not fully healed.

She had just been discharged from the hospital today and should have been resting at home.

But upon hearing that the Yang family was going to act against Fang Yu, she couldn’t sit still.

Fang Yu was her savior, and it was because of her that the Yang family viewed her as a thorn in their side. She had to come personally to save Fang Yu.

Fang Yu looked at Ji Rubi, about to say something, but suddenly turned his head to the side and said, “No need to leave; they have already arrived.”

“What!?”

Both Ji Dongshan and Ji Rubi’s expressions changed as they followed Fang Yu’s gaze.

Sure enough, a black jeep had stopped behind them, and a young man in white stepped out—it was Bai Zhan.

“Is it just you?” Fang Yu asked Bai Zhan.

“Just me is enough,” Bai Zhan squinted and replied.

Then, as if remembering something, he smiled and said, “Oh, actually there is a driver in the car, but he won’t participate; he is only responsible for filming Miss Yang. Miss Yang said she wants to see you die with her own eyes.”

After saying this, Bai Zhan’s eyes were filled with killing intent.

Then he noticed the luxury car next to Fang Yu, as well as the pale-faced Ji Dongshan and Ji Rubi.

Bai Zhan was momentarily stunned, then his eyes lit up.

The Ji family father and daughter were also here? Then he could take them all down today!

In the jeep, the driver pointed the camera at Ji Dongshan and his daughter.

Seeing this scene, Yang Yinzhu revealed a cruel smile: “What a perfect opportunity… let Bai Zhan take down Ji Dongshan and that bitch Ji Rubi together!”

The driver leaned out and shouted to Bai Zhan, “Miss Yang wants you to take them down too…”

The driver made a throat-cutting gesture.

“Understood,” Bai Zhan replied.

Hearing the driver’s words, Ji Dongshan’s face turned even uglier.

He never expected to run into Bai Zhan here, nor did he anticipate that Yang Yinzhu would be so insane.

In broad daylight, she actually wanted Bai Zhan to kill them both!

“Yang Yinzhu, do you really think Jiangnan is under the control of your Yang family? How can you act so lawlessly?” Ji Dongshan shouted angrily.

“Stop shouting; no matter how much you shout, you can’t change the outcome,” Bai Zhan said with a slight smile.

Two bodyguards got out of Ji Dongshan’s car, holding guns aimed at Bai Zhan.

“Bai Zhan, even if you are a ninth-tier innate martial artist, you can’t possibly withstand bullets, right?” Ji Dongshan said in a deep voice.

“Then let them shoot and try,” Bai Zhan said.

“Take him down!” Ji Dongshan ordered.

The two armed bodyguards slowly approached Bai Zhan.

But at that moment, Bai Zhan moved and instantly disappeared from his spot.

A white shadow flashed in front of the two bodyguards.

The two bodyguards’ expressions changed drastically as they raised their guns to shoot.

“Bang!”

But in the next second, their wrists were struck hard, and their guns fell to the ground.

Immediately, Bai Zhan swiftly raised his foot and kicked the two bodyguards in the abdomen.

“Ah!”

The two bodyguards screamed and fell to the ground, completely losing their combat ability.

Seeing this scene, Ji Dongshan and Ji Rubi turned pale.

They never expected Bai Zhan to be this powerful.

The two armed bodyguards were taken down so easily.

Bai Zhan picked up a handgun from the ground and toyed with it in his hand before suddenly pointing the gun at Ji Dongshan.

“You ordinary people really underestimate us martial artists,” Bai Zhan squinted and said, “Do you really think I would be afraid of guns?”

As he spoke, Bai Zhan suddenly pulled the trigger.

“Dad!” Ji Rubi screamed.

“Bang!”

A gunshot echoed through the mountains and forests.

But Ji Dongshan was unharmed.

Fang Yu stood in front of Bai Zhan, gripping Bai Zhan’s hand and raising the gun barrel upwards.

The shot fired into the sky.

“You have quite the mouth, huh? Ordinary people… do you think you’ve become immortal?” Fang Yu smiled.

Bai Zhan’s expression changed slightly as he tried to break free from Fang Yu’s grip.

He knew how strong Fang Yu was; he had never intended to compete in strength today.

He planned to use martial arts techniques against Fang Yu.

“Let Bai Zhan kill Fang Yu quickly!” Yang Yinzhu, watching the scene through the camera, became impatient and ordered.

The driver leaned out again and shouted to Bai Zhan, “Miss Yang wants you to finish it quickly!”

“Okay, as you wish, I’ll finish it quickly,” Fang Yu smiled slightly, twisting Bai Zhan’s wrist with force!

“Crack!”

Bai Zhan’s right hand was twisted 180 degrees by Fang Yu!

“Ah!”

Bai Zhan staggered back several steps, clutching his right hand, crying out in pain, sweat pouring down his forehead.

He looked at Fang Yu, his eyes filled with disbelief. He had thought that the strength Fang Yu displayed the day before yesterday at the Tang family was already the limit.

But he never expected Fang Yu’s strength to be even greater than he had anticipated!

How could someone with only five levels in the Qi Refining Stage possess such immense power?

Bai Zhan felt a bit flustered; he realized he had misjudged Fang Yu’s strength.

“In this world, the only one who can call others ordinary people is me,” Fang Yu’s voice drifted closer.

In the next second, Fang Yu appeared in front of Bai Zhan and threw a punch at Bai Zhan’s abdomen.

Bai Zhan gritted his teeth, crossing his arms to block the punch.

Fang Yu’s fist struck Bai Zhan’s arm.

“Crack…”

A series of bone-crushing sounds echoed as Fang Yu’s fist crushed Bai Zhan’s hand bones to pieces before slamming into Bai Zhan’s abdomen.

“Poof!”

Bai Zhan was sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air, mixed with internal organs and bone fragments.

He fell to the ground, his eyes vacant, his body twitching slightly.

This punch marked the end of his martial arts career, and even his life force was rapidly fading.

Fang Yu did not look at Bai Zhan again but walked towards the jeep, taking the camera from the now-dumbfounded driver and pointing it at himself.

“This is my last warning. If you provoke me again, I won’t hesitate to eliminate your Yang family,” Fang Yu said in a calm tone.

After saying this, Fang Yu returned the camera to the driver, then turned and dragged the barely conscious Bai Zhan, opening the car door and throwing him inside.

“Let’s go back; this is my gift to Miss Yang,” Fang Yu said to the driver.

The driver was sweating profusely, trembling all over.

Upon hearing this, he immediately turned the car around and sped away from the scene.

Fang Yu turned back to see Ji Dongshan and Ji Rubi, both in shock.

…

At the Yang family, Yang Yinzhu forcefully threw her tablet, sending it crashing onto the nearby wine rack, knocking over several bottles of expensive red wine, which shattered with a loud crash.

“Damn it! Damn it!”

Yang Yinzhu trembled all over, her eyes bloodshot. She was proud and arrogant, yet Fang Yu had repeatedly provoked her!

Since taking over the Yang family’s business, she had been winning and hadn’t tasted defeat in a long time.

Fang Yu must be dealt with! He must die!

After today, Yang Yinzhu’s hatred for Fang Yu had surpassed her hatred for Ji Rubi.

After venting for a while, Yang Yinzhu finally calmed down.

Fang Yu’s displayed strength far exceeded her expectations; sending people to confront him directly would not succeed.

So now, to eliminate him, she needed a different plan—she had to strike when he was unaware and kill him in one blow!

Yang Yinzhu thought for a moment, and a cruel smile reappeared on her face.

Fang Yu, this time, I will make sure you die without a complete corpse!

…

On Monday and Tuesday, there would be mock exams. Arriving early in the classroom, one could see that the vast majority of students were diligently reviewing.

A very small number of students, like Fang Yu, were still sleeping at their desks.

Tang Xiaorou finished two math problems and couldn’t help but reach out to pat Fang Yu’s shoulder.

“Why aren’t you reviewing? The mock exam is today!” Tang Xiaorou said, her brows furrowed.

“I don’t need to review,” Fang Yu replied.

“Don’t need to? Don’t you want to get into a good university? You’re so good in other areas; why not focus on your studies?” Tang Xiaorou said.

“Even if I don’t focus on my studies, my exam scores will still be better than yours,” Fang Yu said.

Tang Xiaorou laughed; this time, she truly couldn’t help but laugh.

She was among the top students in the key class, a true academic powerhouse.

Fang Yu, who came to class every day just to sleep, thought he could score better than her?

In his dreams!

In other areas, Tang Xiaorou admitted that Fang Yu was impressive and acknowledged that she was far inferior to him. But in academics, as a top student, she had her own pride!

“You say you can score better than me, so let’s make a bet! Do you dare to accept?” Tang Xiaorou challenged.

“Sure, if you lose, you have to bring me breakfast every day, and it can’t be the same every day,” Fang Yu said.

“And if you lose!?” Tang Xiaorou asked, her tone strong.

“If I lose, you can do whatever you want,” Fang Yu replied.

“It’s a deal!”
