Chapter 58: Mortal body transcendence formation
(A/N: about character info (like a reference to each chapter where they had a breakthrough and important events etc.) and images, do you guys rather have multiple aux chapters or a discord? Personally, I think a discord server would be a good method of communication (votes for example) but it’s your call, let me know.
By the way GIVE. ME. MORE. PAWAH!)
——(POV third person)——
Li Huang just nodded and turned his back to Hou Liangjun and his lackeys.
Facing him was the baffled Ren twin. They didn’t have the young master mentality so they didn’t know what the hell was that last part about. They were waiting to hear some clarification from Li Huang himself.
Li Huang who was oblivious to their inner thoughts spoke again. Luckily for the twins, his words were exactly what they wanted to hear.
“Well, they won’t be bothering you for a while…” He said while shrugging.
Ren Tai and Ren Ru were stunned for a moment, they didn’t think that this simple meeting would have such a miraculous effect on them. Hou Liangjun and his lackeys were bothering and bullying them for as long as they can remember so this sudden revelation was too shocking to them.
“…H-How?” for the first time since they started speaking with each other, Ren Ru spoke with a soft voice.
If there were more sounds around, you might have missed it but fortunately, the surrounding was relatively silent.
Li Huang was also shocked for a moment but soon was able to collect himself and was able to answer her question.
“Hmm, let’s just say that they are more afraid of me than you are afraid of them.” He gave a small smile.
The twins were shocked again that he knows that they were afraid of Hou Liangjun but to Li Huang, this wasn’t anything extraordinary. He just listened and paid attention to every single facial reaction that they had and cross-referenced it with Hou Liangjun’s reaction and come to the conclusion. Easy, right?
As it was getting closer and closer to the time of the selection, Li Huang decided to finish his outing and get back to his training.
‘If I’m forced to sit through one more of these selections, I’ll hang myself.’ He vowed to himself.
“Anyway, I have high expectations for you. Let’s meet each other on the [Eternal wail trial].” Li Huang said to give them more confidence. It would be hard to get into the final 30, but not impossible.
He also handed each of them a communication device so that they can be in contact.
“Contact me if anything happened, anything. Do you understand?” He asked them. With this type of questioning, they had no way of refusing the communication devices.
“Yes. Thank you, big brother.” Ren Tai said and Ren Ru also nodded while hugging the communication device closer to herself.
“Okay, I will be off then.” Li Huang said and said his goodbyes.
Just as he was getting far from the selection ground, a hand on his shoulder stopped him.
Li Huang thought that the ‘young master Hou’ must be too full of himself to even try to stop him so he turned to face the assailant with a frown.
But the moment he saw the ‘assailant’ his frown disappeared and was replaced with a sheepish smile.
“Little Anjing, I was looking for you. Where have you been?” Li Huang said shamelessly.
‘There is no way that I admit I forgot about her…’ He steeled himself internally.
“I thought you were late so I was walking around a little.” Hu Anjing said. she was a little conflicted by ‘little Anjing’ but put it in the back of her mind.
“I see. You did the right thing by walking, these last few days you were practically only sitting on your throne…” Li Huang thought out loud.
Hu Anjing raised an eyebrow at this.
“…Junior uncle, do you mean to say I’m lazy?” she asked or better interpreted, dared Li Huang to confirm her claim.
Li Huang was confused.
“When did I say that? That aside, how can you be lazy with that strong legs that you have?” He asked back innocently.
There are some words you can say to a woman and there are some that you shouldn’t, regardless of the universe and world. This here was clearly from the ‘this content is restricted’ area.
Li Huang was infinitely close to getting beaten by Hu Anjing.
He suddenly remembered that his wording was shit and that came out wrong.
“Don’t get me wrong, I mean you have a well-trained body. I like your type, okay?” he shamelessly declared as he was explaining.
Well, he got beaten anyway but it was because he was shameless and not because Hu Anjing was angry, so this can be considered a win for Li Huang.
Because they made a ‘small’ scene, they decided to get back to their rooms for the day. This also was what Li Huang wanted, as he didn’t want to hang himself this soon just because he had to see this selection.
Along the way, they had more small talks and as time passed, soon they were close to their destination.
“Oh, I have something for you.” Li Huang said and tossed a storage ring to Hu Anjing.
“What is it?” Hu Anjing asked as she was interested.
“Calmly check it with your Qi sense and don’t shout.” Li Huang sternly instructed.
Hu Anjing rolled her eyes at this. This junior uncle of hers was always like this.
Looking inside the ring there was only one scroll there. Its name was written on it, reading it Hu Anjing couldn’t contain her shock and excitement.
Seeing this, Li Huang could only internally curse.
‘Fuck!’ he popped three pills as fast as his speed would allow it.
One pill was for regeneration and would fix the damaged body, another one was for giving a temporary boost to your body’s toughness, the last one would dull your senses and is usually used as a sort of pain killer.
You might be thinking this is excessive, but you are wrong.
In the next second, Hu Anjing hugged Li Huang so hard that a couple of his ribs were broken and some were fractured. It wasn’t because Hu Anjing wanted to harm him or such, No, it was because she was so happy that she didn’t control her strength and used all of her cultivation power.
As soon as she understood the situation, she loosened the hug and apologized.
“I’m so sorry, are you alright.” She asked with a worried tone.
It took a few seconds for Li Huang to answer.
“I’m fine, luckily I have expected this.” Li Huang got relaxed as his body was already healed.
‘Paranoia can save lives, this should be my motto.’ He thought to himself.
“Anyway, I assume you liked it?” Li Huang said smiling smugly.
Hu Anjing shook her head.
“I don’t like it, I love it!” she exclaimed like a child.
After a second or two, she continued.
“But wouldn’t you be in trouble by doing this?” She asked feeling despondent.
What Li Huang gave to Hu Anjing was a training scroll for a body formation that can be used in the Meridian formation realm to create an inner formation. This formation is called [Mortal body transcendence formation].
This formation is one of the most powerful known formations for this realm and is in possession of the Li family and that’s how Li Huang got his hand on it.
Using this formation you can enhance your body to the next level. If two body cultivation practitioners of the same level fought only with physical power and one of them had this body formation, he/she could easily win the fight.
This formation is said to be one of the keys to be able to get into the transcendent realm of body cultivation, although nothing is proven and this is more of a myth. What you can say with certainty is that having this formation is the next best thing after that legendary realm.
Li Huang just shrugged at Hu Anjing’s words.
“What is the worst that can happen? Would they disown me? If that happen, I can be assured that grandpa Long won’t train me anymore…” Li Huang laughed at his own words. Obviously, the family wouldn’t treat their best genius badly so there is no chance of such a big punishment happening.
Hu Anjing thought a little and nodded, she too could see Li Huang’s reasons.
“…but what if patriarch Li decides to train you more?” Hu Anjing said without knowing the horror that her words have brought to Li Huang.
Li Huang shuddered and looked at Hu Anjing.
“Let us hope that they just disown me…” Li Huang said with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.
