Chapter 58: Du Tianci

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Herlyee Translations

Time flew by.

Ever since he returned from the Blood Drop Cave that day and the Tiger Camp set off, Lin Yan returned to his regular life.

Dropping Xiaozhi off, giving lectures in Wu Yard, practicing with Yu Qian, teaching Senior Sister Chen, practicing martial arts, playing and chatting with Xiaozhi, playing and chatting with Senior Sister Chen Yuan…

It was not that there was nothing new.

For example, Yu Qian. Seeing that she really couldn’t avoid Lin Yan’s beating, she actually worked hard and really gritted her teeth to persevere and cultivate diligently.

Her blood energy had not undergone a metamorphosis for long, and it was the time for her strength to increase rapidly.

In addition, her own talent was stronger than what she had shown. Therefore, after every confrontation, her strength and experience improved by leaps and bounds, causing Eldest Senior Brother to frequently look at her in surprise.

However, Lin Yan’s strength increased even faster than before. He was like a deep pool in a valley, calm and without ripples. He easily resolved Yu Qian’s attacks and beat her up every time.

As a result, Eldest Senior Brother occasionally began to suspect that Lin Yan’s strength was really strange.

As time passed, the name of Poison Master Gan Yang completely spread throughout Ding’an City. There were large families in the Inner Circle who offered a high price to catch Gan Yang. Everyone who stayed outside Dragon Gate Pavilion heard the news.

Following that, the news that the Hong family had spent a lot of money to find the mysterious cat-faced masked man spread. They were even more anxious than when they were looking for Gan Yang.

They seemed to value undoing the poison in the pearl very much. This made Lin Yan even more cautious. He hid the Spirit Crystal and poisonous pearl deeply and didn’t mention them at all, as if he had forgotten them.

Of course, in the past half a month, the most important thing for Lin Yan was still the Qinghong Martial Arts School and the Five Animal Hands Technique!

Qinghong Martial Arts School was an extremely powerful martial arts school in the inner area. It was the luxurious premium version of Cave A2 in the Ghost Market and provided various martial arts services, including actual combat.

The only flaw was that it was expensive!

It was too costly!

As soon as he entered Qinghong, it was as deep as the sea.

Lin Yan had previously felt that a huge sum of 40 taels of silver was already considered a lot of money.

However, reality proved that 140 taels of silver was nothing in Qinghong Martial Arts School.

In just half a month, in a small place like Qinghong Martial Arts School, Lin Yan not only invested nearly 40 taels of silver he had plundered, but he also invested all the six to seven taels of silver he had earned in the past half a month!

This was equivalent to spending more than three taels per day.

One had to know that his monthly salary was only two taels!

At this level of consumption, not to mention the Strength Realm, it was almost surpassing the ordinary Tough Realm.

Of course, the money used for actual combat expenses was actually only half of it. Most of it was actually spent on other additional things.

For example, he spent three taels on a pair of steel-forged two-finger knuckles with uneven patterns.

The scale armor that could only protect his chest and back and had a layer of storage cost 25 taels.

There were also various medicinal soups, pastes, and other miscellaneous items that seemed to be useful or useless. When combined, there was a total of ten taels.

He was also very curious. Before entering Qinghong Martial Arts School, he had made up his mind to only fight in actual combat and not spend any more money.

However, when he really went in and was introduced by someone at the side, he inexplicably took out money as if his brain had suddenly gone haywire.

The key was that after paying, he did not feel like he had lost anything.

He was even smug and felt that he got what he paid for. His strength had improved a lot!

It could only be said that Qinghong Martial Arts School was too good at catching martial artists’ sore spots. The things they recommended were always accurate.

Lin Yan recalled the latest strength data he had appraised in Qinghong Martial Arts School. Strength: B+;

Speed: C+;

Defense: A+ ,

Actual Combat: A;

Overall rating: 9;

Compared to the previous data, each aspect was at least one level higher.

Just taking out this data, he was already considered top-notch among the Strength Realm martial artists.

Lin Yan had tried it before. Among the higher-ups of the Qinghong Martial Arts School, as long as they were not good at speed, there were only one or two who could definitely defeat Lin Yan.

Even for martial artists who were good at speed, Lin Yan could rely on the defense advantage of the scale armor to carefully deal with them.

In other words, ordinary martial artists at the high level of the Strength Realm were no longer his match.

Of course, this was the data of wearing brass knuckles and scale armor. If he did not wear knuckles and scale armor, his data…

Hehe, in actual combat with others, of course he had to use his full strength. Why not use the brass knuckles and scale armor that he had spent money to buy?

In any case, he had never taken them off since the day he bought the brass knuckles and inner armor.

“Therefore, when I ambushed Gan Yang and succeeded in one move, it was also partly due to luck

“If he were like me and wore an inner scale armor, my sneak attack would be completely useless.

“It must be that Gan Yang spent too much money on developing poison, or that he was too confident in his poison methods and spent all his money on poison instead of buying Heart Protection Armor.”

Therefore, Gan Yang died. This was the value of the inner scale armor that was worth 25 taels.

However, these were external items that increased one’s strength after all.

What made him increasingly excited and gradually ecstatic was that after half a month of crazy combat training, his proficiency in the Five Animal Hands Technique had finally reached 99-9%!

Lin Yan could feel that he was just one last step away from perfection!

This morning, Lin Yan sent Xiaozhi to Muqing Book House as usual.

When he left, he did not notice that Xiaozhi’s gaze was fixed on his back.

Xiaozhi stood in the corner of the school and tiptoed against the wooden window. She watched Lin Yan disappear at the end of the street before retracting her gaze. She placed her hands on her knees and sat down.

In front, Grandpa Li was reciting a poem called “Quiet Night Thoughts”. Xiaozhi was very happy to hear it because it was written by her brother.

In her life, there was only her brother now. As long as it was related to her brother, she would be very happy no matter if she heard or saw it.

It was noon.

Grandpa Li got someone to bring her food.

Her brother said that he had specially paid for Grandpa Li’s meal fees and asked Grandpa Li to give her more meat and vegetables.

Therefore, lunch every day was actually sumptuous and delicious, but she still had no appetite because she did not eat by her brother’s side.

However, she still finished all the food bite by bite. In the end, she even picked up every grain of rice and ate them one by one. There was not a single grain left.

Rice was very precious. In her blurry memories of the past, there were very few times when she was full like now.

That’s great!

Every day, she could eat her fill!

There was meat, rice, green vegetables, and most importantly, her brother’s company. This was great!

In Book House, everyone sat in their seats and ate in small bites.

Suddenly, a boy on the left of the first row started crying.

Xiaozhi raised her head and looked around. The little boy was drenched from head to toe, and his hair was dripping with water. He was wailing.

Across the table from him stood another little boy with snot hanging from his nose and a wooden basin in his hand. He was holding his stomach and laughing.

Xiaozhi pouted. It was Du Tianci again!

Du Tianci was a little boy who had transferred to Book House previously. He especially liked to tease others.

Grandpa Li had already taught him a lesson a few times, but Du Tianci began to tease others a few days later.

Why did he like to tease people?

Didn’t he know that it was very uncomfortable to be drenched in water?

Xiaozhi thought to herself, Please don’t tease me.

I’ve already caused so much trouble for my brother. I definitely can’t cause him any more trouble!

In the afternoon, Xiaozhi rested on the table.

Just as she was dreaming of riding a big fish on the sea with her brother, a huge wave suddenly surged over and drenched her head.

Xiaozhi suddenly woke up and looked up. Her entire body was cold, and water kept dripping from her head. Her entire body was drenched.

“Caw caw caw, a girl with little radish legs. You fall into the river and become a water ghost after drowning!”

Opposite him, Du Tianci laughed as he knocked on the wooden basin. Snot flew all over his face as he happily twisted his hips and danced.

Xiaozhi panicked. The cold water kept stimulating her skin, making her feel cold and shiver. However, she didn’t cry or get angry. She just stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do.

This attitude made Du Tianci laugh even more.

He suddenly stared at Xiaozhi’s face and pointed with his finger. He said excitedly, “Wow! Look, look! The clown cat has turned fair!”

It turned out that water flowed down Xiaozhi’s face and washed away Lin Yan’s ugly makeup.

All the children present looked over.

“It’s true!’

“Wow, so Lin Xiaozhi looks like this!”

‘Why was she blackened?”

“I didn’t expect you to be so good-looking!”

Most of the people present were seven or eight-year-old children, but there were also a few ten-year-olds who could recognize beauty and ugliness. In this day and age, children matured early. All of them stared at Xiaozhi non-stop.

“Nice? Is it really nice?’

Du Tianci casually wiped the snot on his face. When he heard the word ‘good-looking’, his face immediately became interested. He casually threw the basin in his hand away and ran over in two to three steps to grab Xiaozhi’s arm.

“Hehehe, nice, nice!”

Xiaozhi panicked. “You, let go!”

However, Du Tianci grabbed Xiaozhi and was about to pull her away. “You’re beautiful! Hehehe, you’re beautiful! Grandma said that if I meet a good-looking person, I should bring her home as a wife!”

Xiaozhi was so scared that her face turned pale. She struggled and said, “Let go, let go! ‘

The more she struggled, the more energetic Du Tianci became. He simply grabbed Xiaozhi with both hands and leaned back. “Follow me, follow me!’ Xiaozhi was flustered and helpless. She struggled hard and retracted her hand.

Du Tianci lost his balance and staggered to the ground.

He was slightly stunned, and his mouth immediately deflated. He shook off his limbs and wailed like a calf. “Waaah! You pushed me! Boohoo! You pushed me!”

Xiaozhi’s face turned pale as she said aggrievedly, “You clearly fell down yourself! ”

“Wu wu wu wu! I don’t care, you push me! Grandma! Grandma! Wu wu wu!

Someone bullied me! Someone bullied me!”
