Pei Jinye had no intention of reading too much into Sun Ruofan’s proactive interactions.
Caught in the whirlpool of the Old Gods Association, his mind was constantly focused on how to become stronger.
As for romantic entanglements… nothing could be more exhilarating than knocking out an enemy with a solid punch.
Evening, 5:21 PM.
Tang Huoyang arrived fashionably late.
As soon as he reached the training grounds, he was baffled by the scene before him.
“What the heck, has the barren tree finally bloomed?”
He quickly rubbed his eyes and cautiously took a step back.
“Right, maintain that position… Brother Yang, you here?” Pei Jinye was instructing Sun Ruofan in Power Practice when he twisted his head and noticed someone preparing to crouch.
Pei Jinye obviously thought of something and his face darkened.
Sun Ruofan also saw Tang Huoyang, her face blushed but she greeted him generously, “Brother Tang.”
“Cough cough, I’m not disturbing you guys, am I? I mean… why don’t you continue?” Tang Huoyang winked at Pei Jinye.
Pei Jinye, however, stepped forward and grabbed him, “Didn’t we agree to spar tonight? Are you trying to slack off?!”
He was utterly exasperated.
How had this girl practiced before; how could she have so many questions, more than Silver Art even.
Now that Tang Huoyang had finally arrived, there was no way Pei Jinye was going to let him leave.
And as for Tang Huoyang’s suggestive looks, he ignored them completely.
Sun Ruofan asked softly, “Brother Tang, I’m not bothering you here, am I?”
“Not a bother at all, but it seems like Miss Sun doesn’t often come to the gym for practice, does she?” Tang Huoyang asked casually.
Sun Ruofan smiled and blinked, “Brother Tang seems to come even less often.”
Tang Huoyang gave an awkward smile.
Before he could say anything else, he was grabbed by Pei Jinye.
“Less chit-chat, fight!”
“…Bro, I thought for a moment you had actually turned over a new leaf!!!”
“Quit yapping!”
“Man, could you be a little more gentle with your moves!”
The two traded blows while whispering to each other in hushed voices.
Time passed without them noticing.
Sun Ruofan yawned repeatedly.
Seeing this, Tang Huoyang hastily stopped, “Old Pei, that’s enough for today, you’ve been too fierce. It’s not because there’s a beautiful lady by your side that your combat power is off the charts, is it?”
Pei Jinye was speechless.
Sun Ruofan covered her mouth, trying to stifle her laughter at the side.
Pei Jinye sighed silently to himself.
He admitted he was handsome, but it’s not like just one encounter would make someone silently vow their heart to him.
He always refrained from suspecting others with the worst in mind, yet being cautious by nature was his talent.
So, regarding Sun Ruofan, he had always been on guard.
“How about we all have dinner together tonight?”
Tang Huoyang suggested, looking at both of them.
Pei Jinye didn’t say anything.
It was Sun Ruofan who stood up and apologetically said, “I’ll pass this time, I’ve already made plans to go shopping with a friend tonight, but next time if I’m free, I’ll treat.”
“Haha, sure, just let Old Pei notify me next time you’re free.”
After watching Sun Ruofan leave, Tang Huoyang looked at Pei Jinye with a mix of frustration and regret, “Aren’t you going to walk her out?”
Pei Jinye replied helplessly, “Brother Yang, a twisted melon isn’t sweet, I’m not into romantic stuff right now, don’t get ahead of yourself.”
Tang Huoyang heaved a sigh, “I’ve been sparring with you for so long, exposed my weaknesses several times for you to show off in front of Sun Ruofan, but you were completely oblivious. I don’t even know what to say to you.”
Pei Jinye pretended not to hear and changed the subject, “What exactly is the difference between Power Practice and Exfoliate? I’ve been stuck in Power Practice for too long.”
Tang Huoyang paused.
Feeling helpless.
Knowing that Old Pei was obsessively focused on martial arts, he didn’t say much more and mused, “In my view, it’s a matter of a qualitative change… Power Practice can be trained with fitness lifting, while for Exfoliate you can also use external stimuli… have you heard of the Iron Sand Palm?”
Pei Jinye was taken aback.
It couldn’t be the Iron Sand Palm he was thinking of, could it?
Indeed.
“The essence of Iron Sand Palm is to channel the breath from the Dantian and focus all your strength into the palm. You must begin with real strength and when you exhale, you have to make a sound…”
“Is it really effective?”
“Don’t worry, just control your strength. Otherwise, you’ll end up like me; both hands broken for half a month, but in the end, I successfully exfoliated. You control your strength and there should be no problem.”
That evening, back at home, Pei Jinye looked at the wok in his kitchen, tempted to try.
Maybe give it a shot?
But he decided against it… that method sounded a bit too unorthodox.
He practiced “Psychic·Lock Technique” as well as “Solid Yuan Technique” once through.
Before he knew it, morning had come the next day.
Pei Jinye woke up feeling refreshed and clear-headed.
The increase in spiritual power seemed to have shortened his sleep time.
Speaking precisely,
the moment he successfully entered concentration during cultivation, he reached a state akin to deep sleep. Thus, Pei Jinye ensured his rest while also advancing his cultivation—a two-fold gain.
“Buzz buzz!”
That morning,
Black Shark sent a message over.
[What you requested is at No 18 Heyue Street, under the third stone slab in the third alleyway counting from the third wutong tree on the left.]
Silently, Pei Jinye put away his phone.
The Appraisal Technique had arrived!
He got his gear ready.
Quietly, Pei Jinye slipped away.
After emerging from the slums, he changed into a new outfit, complete with a duckbill cap, large sunglasses, and a black face mask.
Even if Tang Huoyang had appeared right then, he would not have recognized that this person was Pei Jinye.
Before long,
following Black Shark’s guidance, Pei Jinye arrived at the designated spot. Wearing specially made gloves, he carefully lifted the stone slab and immediately saw a roll of cowhide lying within.
He quickly scooped it up and tucked it into his bosom.
Just as he was about to get up,
“Kid, hand over the stuff!”
A vicious voice suddenly came from behind him.
Without a hint of panic, Pei Jinye stood up, turned his head to look, and saw a small-time thug with a wicked wolf tattoo on his arm, approaching with a switchblade in hand.
Seeing Pei Jinye’s fully armed appearance, the thug was clearly taken aback.
In broad daylight, normal people wouldn’t be dressed like this.
In the moment his brain froze, the thug turned and ran.
But suddenly, a sigh rang in his ear, sounding at that moment like a thunderclap in spring.
A chill ran down his spine, and just as a hand landed on his shoulder, his arm broke out in goosebumps. Before he could utter a sound, an emotionless voice whispered in his ear.
“Enter the dream.”
It was as if no one noticed that a thug had just vanished from the world at that moment.
Probably except for his boss, who was shaking down others.
“Damn Kong Que De, where is that guy? Did he go whoring off again! Mad, he’s late even when I told him to be on time!”
At 8:20 AM,
Outside the rental.
The landlady was slightly taken aback upon seeing Pei Jinye: “Little Li, good morning.”
“Morning, Aunt Wei.”
With a face of easygoing humility, Pei Jinye nodded and then walked into his room.
The landlady hesitated for a moment, but said nothing more and returned to her own room after throwing away the trash.
“Mom, what are you mumbling about?”
A young girl’s voice came from the living room.
“Nothing much, I just bumped into Little Li from next door. Haven’t seen him around much lately.”
“What’s the big deal about that? By the way, Mom, I need some Blood Energy Pills to replenish my blood. I should be able to go for my awakening and ranking at the end of the month.”
“You’re awesome, darling.”
“Alright, Mom, stop pinching my cheek.”
“I wonder if Little Li has gone through his ranking… If he has, maybe I could ask him about it.”
[Appraisal Technique: Beginner 0.1%.]
Straight after Pei Jinye began, he immediately noticed an additional line of text on his attribute panel.
Spiritual Power: [5.2-5.2]
He made a point to check the Old Gods Association’s internal network.
Appraisal Technique price: 5800 (original price 10000)
“Tsk, Old Black is even stingier than I thought.”
Combining merits from both of his accounts, Pei Jinye had amassed four thousand, meaning the compensation that Black Shark made such a fuss over was mostly from Pei Jinye himself.
Glancing at the Solidifying Yuan Technique, it was priced at 78000, clearly demonstrating the Silver Art practitioners’ kindness.
“Times have changed… Black Shark’s heart is truly pitch black.”
On the way to school,
Pei Jinye kept using the Appraisal Technique.
Numbers like [1-1], [0.3-1], [1.3-1.3] occasionally floated above the heads of the passersby.
The proficiency of this technique was also rising imperceptibly.
Unexpectedly,
upon taking his first step into the school,
an Appraisal Technique was cast, and a row of numbers surfaced above the head of a middle-aged man with a dark complexion.
[10-?]
“Holy shit! Did I just bump into a Sweeping Monk???”
