Chapter 2: Repaying Cruelty With Kindness (2)


“You should know that our family has two Heaven and Earth Rebirth Pill. Well, I took one of them some time ago.” Luo Peiran said with pride.” This pill is really extraordinary. The pure magical power empowered all my flesh, and helped me to improve from the Refining Flesh Stage to the Bone Refining Stage. To think the efficacy of the pill works only one-tenth! The rest remains in my body and supplies my flesh endlessly. I just need to cross a fine line to get to the Organ Refining Stage, and the Marrow Refining Stage will be just around the corner!”


Luo Zheng gritted his teeth when he heard Luo Pieran. These two pills were the most valuable treasure of the Luo Clan. They were holy pills left by the Luo Clan’s ancestors. They were stored carefully in a sacred place only known by a handful of people in the family. Most people were not allowed to see or use these pills.


According to the old doctrine, only those who reached the Bone Refining Stage before the age of sixteen were eligible to use the Heaven and Earth Rebirth Pill.


The practice of the body includes five stages starting with the Skin Refining Stage. Those who mastered it would move to the second, the Flesh Refining Stage. Bone Refining was the third stage. The final two stages were Organ Refining Stage and Marrow Refining Stages. Each of the five stages were different, and it was incredibly difficult for most people to master each stage without decades of practicing.


It was a miracle if a person reached the third stage before he turned thirty. The entire clan would recognize such a person as being talented.


According to the doctrine, only those who reached the third stage before turning sixteen were eligible to use the Heaven and Earth Rebirth Pill!


People who reached the Bone Refining Stage before that age were undoubtedly strong. In all these centuries, no one in the entire Chongyang County had seen someone like that. That was the reason why the Heaven and Earth Rebirth Pill hadn’t been used in the past three hundred years.


Before the adversity, Luo Zheng had been recognized as a promising child.


At the age of fourteen, he entered the top of the Flesh Refining Stage. For his talent and efforts, he had been praised by the king of Chongyang County. The king had said that Luo Zheng was the hope of Luo Clan’s prosperity, the one favored by the heavens, and a genius amongst geniuses!


However, it was a pity that at such a crucial time, the family suffered from internal strife and his father had been killed by his own brothers. Luo Zheng had been banished to slavery, and had become a sandbag and a prisoner. Since he couldn’t practice any more, he had lost the chance to take the pill.


Luo Pieran was ordinary and didn’t have any talent. He had just reached the level of Flesh Refining at sixteen. He was not eligible to use the Heaven and Earth Rebirth Pill but he still took one.



This Heaven and Earth Rebirth Pill rightfully belonged to Luo Zheng . Unexpectedly, it was taken by this moron who had no talent. Even though Luo Zheng had two years to calm himself and accept the fate of his family, his heart wasn’t at peace.


He could not help but get angry. “Luo Pieran, you son of a b.i.t.c.h! How dare you ignore the ancestors’ doctrine and take the holy pill without permission?”


“Well, you are as insignificant as the insects in the crevices. A good-for-nothing! I have stepped into the peak of the Bone Refining Stage. I can hold a thousand pounds in one hand! You are a slave. I can crush you with one hand. Today, I finished the practice, and in order to congratulate myself, I want to find a sandbag for me!” Luo Pieran ignored what Luo Zheng had said and pointed at someone randomly. “Okay, I choose you!”



He did not choose Luo Zheng, but found a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man saw Luo Pieran pointing at him and trembled. Although he wore a thick leather armor, which could resist a lot of damage, the man was fearful for his life. Luo Pieran had reached the Bone Refining Stage, and the armor would not protect him. The man could not help shivering and peeing.


Then Luo Pieran took a deep breath before a.s.suming the unique posture of the Purple Light Fist. This was an exclusive technique of the Luo Clan. He was trying to show off, and used his inner strength to the best, which covered his body in purple light.


“Please… Please… Young Master! I beg for your mercy!” When the slave saw Luo Pieran’s momentum, his eyes revealed a desperate look. He would die if smashed by Perrin’s fist. He fell to his knees as he continued groveling for mercy.


Boom!


Luo Pieran would never listen to the begging of a slave. He punched his chest. The leather safeguarding his chest collapsed abruptly. The man flew back with the impact and hit a wall in the Martial Arts Hall. His lifeless body fell to the ground with a dull thud.


One punch by Luo Pieran had killed the slave.


“Your fist is very powerful, Young Master! n.o.body from among our clan’s generation can be stronger than you.”


“Our Young Master will ensure that the Luo Clan thrives, and he will carry the whole clan forward.”



Impressed and even fearful, the children patronized the Young Master.


Luo Pieran seemed to be very satisfied with the effect of this punch. He then turned to look at Luo Zheng viciously.


Luo Zheng stepped back. Although he was much stronger than the middle-aged man, he could not take Luo Pieran’s punch.


Luo Pieran laughed and reached out to fiercely tap Luo Zheng"s shoulder twice. “Relax, I will not kill you so quickly. I want you to watch me, and know that I, Luo Pieran, am much stronger than you!”


Luo Pieran stopped talking and turned to leave. Just then, he remembered something and turned around.,” Yeah, I forgot one thing. I heard that my genius cousin isn’t doing well in that sect because she offended an influential person. She has been sent to h.e.l.l Mountain as punishment. I will rescue her when I reach the Organ Refining Stage. Ha-ha-ha…”


Upon hearing these words, Luo Zheng"s chest tightened and his heartbeat quickened.
