Chapter 138: Whoever Asks About This Shall Die!
Translator:?Sparrow Translations??Editor:?Sparrow Translations
Some say a person’s destiny is set since birth, no matter what you do, you can never escape your fate or destiny.
Training hard for martial arts, strengthening his abilities and enhancing his capabilities. These were what Tie Xiaohu dreamed of achieving in his life.
What Ling Yun had demonstrated to Tie Xiaohu ever since his appearance had undoubtedly shown Tie Xiaohu a pie in the sky, overwhelming him with excitement and igniting a never-before-seen passion within him. Like an unquenchable thirst, he simply could not stop thinking about it until he had achieved what he desired.
Ling Yun asking Tie Xiaohu whether he wanted to be as strong as him was probably equivalent to Pan Jinlian asking Xi Menqing whether he wanted to sleep with her.
How could he not think about it, he was probably going nuts over it! With perseverance and unswerving determination gleaming from his eyes, Tie Xiaohu nodded his head without hesitation and yelled, “I want to!”
Ling Yun gave him a faint smile. After torturing Tie Xiaohu for so long, this was the exact answer he was waiting for.
Ling Yun lifted up his hand and pointed at the corner where the sandbags that he had previously used to tie to his legs were placed. “Tie those to your legs. From now onwards, you have to leave those on, even when you’re sleeping! The only exception would be when you’re showering.” Ling Yun ordered.
These sandbags had been rendered useless for Ling Yun ever since he reached the peak of Level Three physique tempering. Even the 50-pound sandbag that he carried while jogging was no longer of use to him.
Right now, he could easily fling Tie Xiaohu’s hundred-kilogram body 100 meters away, what would be the point of him carrying the sandbag while jogging?
Without hesitation, Tie Xiaohu walked over to the corner and tied both sandbags to his calves according to Ling Yun’s instructions.
Ling Yun explained, “Do you know why I rendered all your previous training useless? It’s because whatever you trained for previously was complete trash. Not only was the training taking too long, the results were also extremely poor, it would have had a tremendous amount of side effects on your body in the future!”
Ling Yun finally began to explain the reason he rendered all of Tie Xiaohu’s previous training useless to him. He then plopped down on the couch and continued talking. “I’ve already given your body an internal cleansing. Right now, I’m going to teach you a set of techniques called the Dayan Great Stars Techniques. You have to practice it diligently in the future.”
Ling Yun had known from the start that Tie Xiaohu’s body was best suited for practicing the Dayan Great Stars Technique. It was as if the set of techniques were made specifically for him.
Of course, Tie Xiaohu did not have the amazing ability to absorb the aura of all things between heaven and earth like Ling Yun did. Even if he tried his best and trained as hard as possible, it would be impossible for him to catch up with Ling Yun.
There were two reasons for Ling Yun’s decision in teaching Tie Xiaohu the Dayan Great Stars Technique as his very first ability. One of the reasons was that Tie Xiaohu’s body was best suited for it, the other was because it was a set of techniques that purely encompassed physical training. All it did was to strengthen one’s body from start to finish. In addition to that, it was extremely easy to pick up and master.
Even though it was considered an easy set of techniques to pick up, Ling Yun still used two hours to teach Tie Xiaohu the skillset and made sure that he completely understood the ability. Ultimately, it was Tie Xiaohu’s first time coming across the concept of self-cultivation.
Finally, Ling Yun was done teaching him the set of techniques. “It’s literally this easy, give it a shot and try practicing it…” Said Ling Yun as he looked at Tie Xiaohu with a face full of hope.
Tie Xiaohu’s eyes were gleaming with excitement as he stood up abruptly and began to practice the Dayan Great Stars Techniques in silence. In the end, the excitement in his eyes began to fade.
“I’m done. I didn’t feel a single thing…” Said Tie Xiaohu in disappointment.
Ling Yun burst into laughter and stood up to pat Tie Xiaohu on his shoulder. “You won’t feel anything at the start, it’ll be fine as long as you keep on practicing. It’s alright if you start off slow, as long as you get the hang of it, this set of techniques would come to you as naturally as breathing. You can practice it 24/7.”
Hilarious. Right now, Ling Yun had achieved the peak of Level Three strength training. Even he did not feel anything when he was practicing the Dayan Great Stars Techniques at sunrise today, when the holy fire from the sun was at its peak, not to mention Tie Xiaohu, who had just learned the set of techniques a few minutes ago.
“Now, tell me about the Green Dragon Gang.”
The both of them sat down before Ling Yun began asking about the Green Dragon Gang. By the time Ling Yun had a brief understanding of the Green Dragon Gang, half an hour has passed and it was already 6 p.m. in the evening.
Ling Yun took a peek at the dimming evening sky from his window as he thought to himself, “I’ve skipped yet another day of afternoon lessons, Lingyu is going to be so mad at me when she finds out.”
He stood up before speaking to Tie Xiaohu, “Head to Little Gou right now and get that 10 thousand yuan. Remember, don’t be inflexible, get as much money as possible! I’m heading back to school!”
Tie Xiaohu stood up too and takes two steps forward before coming to a halt and turning around. Like an indecisive maiden, he contemplated the instructions that were given to him. “Boss, how could I possibly take the money?” Tie Xiaohu asked, clearly unsure of what to do.
Ling Yun furrowed his brows as he said, “You’re so stupid, couldn’t you just tell him that you gave me a beating of my life?”
“Err…” Tie Xiaohu’s jaw dropped as he thought to himself, Is that even possible? He scratches his head and replies, “But, the entire school saw you beating me up this morning! I’m guessing that Gou Junfa had probably found out by then.”
Ling Yun gives him a smile and bats his lids at Tie Xiaohu. “You can tell him that after following me out of school, you caught me off guard and gave me a beating before knocking me out!”
Tie Xiaohu stares at Ling Yun blankly as he thought to himself, “Doesn’t Boss care about his reputation at all?” However, he was finally clear on what needed to be done and nodded his head before marching out the door.
As if he suddenly remembered something the moment he stepped out of the door, Tie Xiaohu turned around and asked Ling Yun a question seriously, “Boss, can I ask you, how on earth did you suddenly become this strong?”
Looking at Tie Xiaohu, a brilliant glimmer of light flashed across Ling Yun’s beautiful eyes as he smiled faintly. “Whoever asks about this shall die. This is the only time I’ll let you off!” Ling Yun mused, albeit with a rather threatening tone.
Ling Yun’s glare sent shivers down Tie Xiaohu’s spine. It was as if he had been thrown into an icehouse and the surrounding atmosphere had suddenly dropped to zero degrees. An inexplicable wave of coldness washed through him as his heart pounded violently against his chest.
“Yes!” Tie Xiaohu nodded his head earnestly. From then onwards, he never once asked Ling Yun the question ever again.
This was Ling Yun’s biggest secret. He would only rack his brains and come up with explanations when Qin Qiuyue and Ning Lingyu interrogated him. As if he would bother if anyone else asked him about it!
Of course, what truly puzzled Ling Yun was the fact that Qin Qiuyue, Ning Lingyu, Xue Meining and Cao Shanshan did not ask him about it. Even Tang Meng, who was known for his talkativeness, never asked him this question.
It was a first for him when Tie Xiaohu asked him this question to his face seriously!
After Tie Xiaohu left his house, Ling Yun returned to his bedroom and began practicing his techniques on his bed with his legs crossed. As he tried to meditate, he could not help but feel an inexplicable feeling of restlessness plaguing him, giving him no choice but to stop practicing.
This doesn’t feel right, could it be possible that something bad is about to happen tonight? Ling Yun thought.
With his eyes fixed on the darkening sky, Ling Yun muttered to himself, “Isn’t it just an incoming storm?”
Just as he began mumbling to himself mindlessly, large raindrops descended from the sky out of the blue and splattered on the ground, leaving behind penny-sized spots as dust filled the air.
Soon enough, the raindrops joined together to form tens of thousands of lines as they descended from the sky. The rainwater flowed along his backyard like a stream, splattering murky water everywhere with every raindrop that fell on it.
The dark clouds began to gather as the rain continued to pour, turning the sky greyish-yellow. Ling Yun took one look and immediately knew that this was only the start and the real thunderstorm had yet to come.
“Hehe, looks like Tie Xiaohu is going to be completely drenched!” Ling Yun chuckled to himself as he dug out a tattered black umbrella and headed straight to school after locking up the doors.
……
Ling Yun’s judgment was wrong this time as Tie Xiaohu did not get drenched in the rain. As soon as he left Ling Yun’s house, he quickly got to Xuefu Road and hopped on a cab!
It only took Tie Xiaohu 20 minutes to reach the First People’s Hospital of Qingshui City’s surgical ward.
By then, it was already raining cats and dogs outside. The downpour resembled a white screen made up of water that filled the space between the sky and the earth, what a magnificent sight to behold!
As he reached the entrance of Gou Junfa’s ward, Tie Xiaohu entered the room without knocking.
Right now, Gou Junfa had a cocky smirk plastered on his face!
Tie Xiaohu was right about his prediction. Ever since Tie Xiaohu got to Qingshui High in the morning and started his fight with Ling Yun, Huang Mao had been giving Gou Junfa live updates on the fight through WeChat!
“Ling Yun kicked Tie Xiaohu into the air again!”
“Ling Yun flung Tie Xiaohu 8 meters away!”
“Gosh, Ling Yun threw Tie Xiaohu onto the school field!”
“He’s just throwing him around. Ling Yun is too strong and too fast!”
“Damn, Tie Xiaohu is done for, he’s been thrown onto the basketball backboard by Ling Yun!”
“Ling Yun is just too good at fighting! He completely obliterated the Green Dragon Gang members! He even extorted them for 30 thousand yuan!”
“The police are here. Damn, Ling Yun abducted the beautiful female police officer!”
“What? Go back? Alright, I’ll be there immediately!”
Looking at the never-ending stream of text messages and photos from Huang Mao, Gou Junfa’s blood began to boil as his previously-swollen face started to hurt again.
By the time Huang Mao got back to the hospital and described the entire incident to Gou Junfa and Lu Chengtian, both of them gasped in shock as shivers ran down their spines!
Ling Yun single-handedly crippled over 30 members of the Green Dragon Gang unarmed? Seven or eight of them could not even get up? Tie Xiaohu got thrown around by Ling Yun like a basketball?
This, this was impossible, how is it possible for an ordinary person to possess such a great amount of strength and speed?
After a brief moment of shock and silence, Gou Junfa and Lu Chengtian exchanged glances and noticed the terror in each other’s eyes!
It was impossible!
Lu Chengtian’s father worked in the education sector. Therefore, it was normal for him to play mean tricks or bully others. However, after seeing Ling Yun’s feat of insane strength, he could not help but want out.
Ultimately, Gou Junfa was the one who suffered the beating. At least, Ling Yun did not cause any trouble for Lu Chengtian up till now. There was no reason for him to support Gou Junfa as he went up against Ling Yun, a force that should not be reckoned with.
Gou Junfa was not stupid either, he was terrified too. He could tell from Lu Chengtian’s eyes that he was thinking of backing out, however, Gou Junfa was a fierce character. He was not going to give up!
To be tortured by Ling Yun, even his parents had never laid a single finger on him since birth. He would not let this go this easily!
“What’s wrong? Scared?” Gou Junfa gave Lu Chengtian a side glare as he asked both Lu Chengtian and Huang Mao, who was busy smoking.
Lu Chengtian scratched his head as he asked, “Brother Fa, it’s not about being scared or not. Ling Yun is amazing at fighting, even 30 Green Dragon Gang members were not enough to take him down, what’s the point of calling a few more people to help out? Who isn’t scared of getting beaten up?”
Lu Chengtian was just stating facts. There were many people who were willing to beat people up, but there were very little people who were willing to get beaten up.
Gou Junfa gave a sly laugh. “Lu Chengtian, did Ling Yun scare your brains out? Did you forget, even though we can’t fight him physically, we can still beat him with our brains!”
“Brains?! What do you mean?” Everyone asked simultaneously.
Gou Junfa squinted his eyes and chuckled menacingly. “He can fight, right? But there are a lot of things in the world that cannot be solved by brute force! Even though we are no match for him when it comes to physical combat, we still have money and power!”
