Chapter 18: Painful Torture
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Outside the room.
Yang Mu, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, gently raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.
He glanced in Victor’s direction, face full of fear.
He recalled carefully.
He realized that he had not noticed how Victor had kicked at all.
He only felt a powerful force hitting his stomach.
Then, everything in front of him retreated rapidly.
“He’s in the intermediate stage of the second-rate realm, and I’m in the beginner stage of the second-rate realm. How can there be such a big difference in strength?”
Before Yang Mu saw Victor, he had been shouting and was extremely arrogant.
After seeing Victor, he finally knew what it meant to be powerless.
In the room.
Victor sent everyone, including Hua Feng and Gu Xu, away one by one.
After changing to a quiet room, he crossed his legs again and started to heal the damages.
Due to Yang Mu’s interference and his eagerness to succeed just now, the waves of true qi had damaged his meridians while the qi was rapidly flowing in his body.
When he activated his true qi and kicked Yang Mu away, a tearing pain suddenly appeared in his body.
Fortunately, after frequently absorbing talents, his pain tolerance had also increased a lot. He was used to pain, so it was not a big deal to him.
Time pa.s.sed quickly while Victor was healing.
In the blink of an eye, it was the morning of the subsequent day.
It had only been one night.
The news of Victor accepting Yang Mu’s challenge had already spread wholly.
At the same time, what happened in Victor’s room last night had also spread.
“Yesterday in the arena, Senior Brother Hua Feng said that Victor and Yang Mu could put on a fight. To be honest, I didn’t quite believe it at that time.
“After all, half a year ago when he entered the Martial Arts Peak, it was said that Victor was only in the beginner stage of the third-rate realm.”
“Haha, you’re not the only one. In fact, not many senior and junior brothers who knew that Victor had only entered half a year ago would believe that he had the ability to fight Yang Mu.”
“By the way, did Junior Brother Victor take drugs? In just half a year, he broke through from the third-rate realm to the second-rate realm, and yesterday, he just broke through to the intermediate stage of the second-rate realm. This cultivation speed, if you didn’t see it with your own eyes, would you dare believe it?”
“Let’s not talk about the terrifying cultivation speed. According to the seniors and juniors present yesterday, Victor’s casual attack sent the arrogant Senior Brother Yang Mu flying.”
“Holy sh*t, his combat strength is extremely terrifying!”
“In that case, it means that Yang Mu is no match for Junior Brother Victor. Why are they still fighting?”
“I guess Yang Mu doesn’t want to fight. However, he can’t refuse this fight.”
“What do you mean?”
“Think about it. When you are at the critical moment of your breakthrough and someone was shouting beside you, making you unable to focus. How would you feel?”
“I would want to kill his entire family!”
“So, Junior Brother Victor will definitely not let Yang Mu off easily!”
“However, the rules of the Qingyun Sect clearly state that disciples can not kill each other!”
“Although they can not kill each other, once Victor tries to suppress Yang Mu, Yang Mu will no longer have a place in the Qingyun Sect.”
“Therefore, Yang Mu has no choice but to come, even if he knows that this challenge might cause him to lie in a hospital bed for half a year.”
The disciple who just came to realization seemed to recall Victor’s cold gaze from yesterday.
Then, he couldn’t help but shiver, and a look of realization appeared on his face.
The next day, early in the morning.
Although the sect compet.i.tion had ended, the arena was still full of people.
It was only seven in the morning, it wasn’t time for the compet.i.tion to start yet. However, it was densely packed, and everyone’s eyes were filled with expectations.
At the same time.
In the same quiet room.
Victor opened his eyes and exhaled deeply.
After a night of adjustment, his damaged meridians had mostly recovered under the nourishment of the max-level Mystic Wood technique.
The remaining one-tenth could only be slowly healed in the days to come.
Since he had the full-grade Mystic Wood technique, it was only a matter of time before he fully recovered.
However, even if he was fully healed, there would still be some lingering damages. If he wanted his meridians to become like before, he would need some heavenly materials and earthly treasures to replenish his body.
Or he could learn a technique that was even more powerful than the Mystic Wood technique.
“d.a.m.n you!” Victor couldn’t help but curse again.
Thinking about how his cultivation would be affected and that he had to slow down his cultivation speed for the following period of time.
Victor, who had calmed down after one night, was once again filled with anger.
“d.a.m.n it, I racked my brain and downloaded this incredible talent for what purpose? Wasn’t it to keep up with the fast cultivation speed?”
Although, when a warrior broke through, there was a certain probability that their meridians would be damaged. Especially when they broke through in an aggressive manner, the probability was even higher.
Victor’s breakthrough yesterday might not be as easy as it seemed.
However, there was no need for him to breakthrough in such a rough manner.
It was because Yang Mu’s loud roar had messed up his mind. In addition to that, he sensed the anger in Yang Mu’s voice.
Sensing the strong malice in Yang Mu’s voice, he wanted to break through as soon as possible to prevent the enemy from rushing in and interrupting.
Therefore, this had caused his meridians to be severely damaged.
..
Martial Arts Peak, martial arts arena.
Yang Mu slowly walked onto the stage with a face full of fatigue.
Last night, he did not sleep a wink.
It was because of shock, but also due to fear.
He was afraid, but he had no choice but to come.
Because he was the one who requested to challenge Victor.
If he did not complete this challenge, Victor’s anger would not subside.
Hence, he had no choice but to come.
“Hey…”
As soon as Yang Mu stepped onto the stage, a wave of surprise and mockery came from below the stage.
Yang Mu, who was arrogant and domineering yesterday, had become so down and out of it today.
“Sigh, if this guy could keep a low profile and be humble, he would not have ended up like this.”
“Hehe, I have long been unhappy with him. His current state makes me feel happy.”
“Me too. I woke up so early today just to see how would Victor beat him up.”
..
In everyone’s antic.i.p.ation.
Time slowly arrived at eight o’clock in the morning.
By the entrance of the arena, an overbearing figure was walking towards the arena.
Under the gaze of thousands of people, Victor slowly appeared in the arena.
In the arena.
Yang Mu looked at Victor and said, “I may be arrogant and loathsome, but compared to you, you are a demon that tortures people.”
He had come to the arena earlier today, hoping to end all of this quickly.
Yesterday, the two of them could have fought on the spot and decided the outcome.
But Victor didn’t do it.
He insisted on making it this morning.
Why?
Because Victor wanted him to lose in front of everyone.
For an impatient and arrogant guy, what could be better than harming his pride and putting on a mask of pain?
Because the damages ti the soul were far more painful than physical damages.
