Yin Zhenluo didn’t think Xuanyuan would foolishly apply the dragon scale powder to his private parts.

Regardless of gender, a person’s private parts are the most fragile part of the body, and they have most difficult to have the pores to unclog.

Despite the help from the powder, it was still a miracle for Xuanyuan to have advanced to that part of his body in such a short time. It proved that he had excellent talent.

She could sense a dense Qi pushing through every single pore of Xuanyuan’s body. Some pores were opened, some remained closed. But no matter what, Xuanyuan was surely a rare genius.

“Don’t stop. Not even when your balls are painful.” She wanted to laugh but couldn’t bring herself to discourage him. She said slowly, “A human’s body is like iron. It needs harsh fire to purify it so its true essence can be revealed. Your body has too much impurity. This is only the beginning, no matter how painful it is, endure it.”

Her voice was like a refreshing stream of water from the mountain. It cleared his mind.

Once again, Xuanyuan sat in cross-legged position and recited the Book. If you had good eyesight, you would have seen the pores that were pushing Qi through now kept opening and closing.

His whole body was in pain, especially the most fragile part of his body. But at the same time, he also felt incredibly comfortable. These two sensations kept dominating his consciousness alternatively…

Yin Zhenluo looked at his skin and a dark red substance was oozing out the top layer of his skin. That was the impurities within his body. The substance was extremely oily and dirty, it was the reason that human bodies were unable to absorb Qi from the universe. The substance was now being removed from his body with the help of the Book of The Heavenly Dragon with Burning Scales. Dragons had reverse scales and whatever touched them would die. Xuanyuan was like a baby dragon right now. His scales were burning, opening and closing. His body was being purified.

Without him noticing, a day had already past. His body was covered with an oily film. He smelt disgusting, like he hadn’t washed in years, but Yin Zhenluo was ecstatic. She said,

“Well done. Let’s call it a day. Go and rinse all the dirt and impurity from your body. The powder was absorbed by your skins. I didn’t expect you to recite the whole Book in just a day and you still have strength left. Very well done, indeed.”

After he recited the Book once, Xuanyuan was incredibly energetic. He did not feel exhausted at all. Quite the opposite, he felt like his strength grew exponentially. He was certain that he could lift a bull without any problems.

“Haha, great!” Xuanyuan jumped up and ran to the stream and soaked himself in the water. A dark red colour radiated out from Xuanyuan. All the dirt and oily substance was washed away by the stream water. He swam against the rapid stream and felt the great strength within both his body and mind…

Yin Zhenluo looked at him. She was pleased.

“Within a month, I hope to teach him even more things. With the help of the Dragon Scale Powder, he only needed one day to recite the whole Book and gained a full two bulls of strength. What an unusual genius.”

In the first day, Xuanyuan recited the book once.

The second day, he recited the book twice.

The third day, he recited the book three times. His strength rapidly grew from two bulls to five. All of this excited Yin Zhenluo, perhaps he would prove to be a great apprentice.

Xuanyuan threw a few punches at his full power. The spiritual pores on his body were all opening and closing in regular movements, circulating the Qi. The parts that weren’t purified on the first day were now being cleansed. During his training, the amount of impurity extracted from his skin each day was reducing, but he was not done yet. Xuanyuan knew this was only the beginning. The process would only be completed when he could do eighteen full recitals of the Book in a single day. Then his skins would be completely cleansed and he would be ready to enter the warrior realm.

“Beautiful master, the food is cooked. I’m going out to hunt.” After three days of practice, Xuanyuan’s body went through tremendous changes. His strength was enhanced immensely and his appetite also grew with his strength. Yin Zhenluo didn’t need much food, but it was not the same for Xuanyuan. He finished all the food he stored in no time.

Yin Zhenluo nodded and smiled.

“Go.”

Xuanyuan and Guxing ran out the door. Each step would cover 3 metres of distance, so he was extremely fast. They ran to the Beastly Forest.

That’s was the direction of the mass grave.

There were two men heading in the same direction. They were wearing well made martial arts uniforms and had cruel smiles. They were hauling a frigid corpse, each of them holding a leg. They were heading to the mass grave.

They were the vicious servants from the Yue Family. Who knew how many innocent people they had killed?

“This kid was itching to get his ass kicked. It’s a blessing for him that Master Yuejue liked his sister. How dare he come to our house and demand for his sister back. He didn’t want to continue living.” One of called Qian Yonglai, mocked viciously. He even kicked the dead body.

“Ha, Master Yuejue is a kind man. He only wanted his limbs broken. But I just reached the strength of four bulls. I couldn’t control my strength very well. I killed him with a single kick, how careless of me. However Master Yuejue gave me ten warrior coins for it. They are worth one hundred fighter coins. I’ll treat you to a trip to the brothel when we get back.” The other man named Qian Yongfu laughed loudly. They already arrived at the mass grave while chatting. They dumped the body into the grave and were ready to leave.

Xuanyuan’s five senses became extremely sensitive after practicing. He could see and hear clearly for fifty metres. So Xuanyuan had heard their conversation. Qian Yonglai and Qian Yongfu were among the servants of Yuejue who beat him before he died.

Xuanyuan was surprised to hear that these two evil men killed yet another innocent boy. He was furious, but calmed down quickly. He needed to be careful when facing a man with the strength of four bulls, and another with the strength of three bulls, otherwise he could be killed. After all, he didn’t have any real experience with fighting. Even though he knew how to hunt, humans were a lot smarter than magical beasts.

He had an idea. With Guxing next to him, he approached them while faking a limp. He stopped when he was only ten metres away from them.

The servants were shocked to see Xuanyuan, but quickly showed looks of disgust.

Qian Yonglai laughed in an evil high pitched voice,

“Isn’t this the boy we almost killed a few days ago? He’s quite tough to survive that. The wolf looks nice; we should barbeque him later.”

“Kill him. Master Yuejue will reward us for it later. You’re right about the wolf. Its fur is beautiful. We should skin it alive and give the fur to Master. He’ll be delighted.” Qian Yongfu took a step towards Xuanyuan. He was very cocky because he had just gained the strength of four bulls. Not to mention Xuanyuan was still “wounded”, and even if he was healthy, he could catch and kill him easily.

Like a rabbit facing two wolves, Xuanyuan pretended to be petrified. He was “limping” backwards and cried,

“You two again…You almost killed me, can’t you let me go?”

“Hahaha…Seems like you are scared of us. Weren’t you acting tough a few days ago? Well, we could let you go…if you give us that wolf of yours. If we’re happy, maybe we’ll let you off the hook.” Qian Yonglai laughed. He seemed very happy with himself.

“Let you go? You filthy bastard, you disrespected Master Yuejue’s carriage and insulted him. Even if you die a million deaths, you still couldn’t make it up to him. You, that wolf, and your whole family should be killed!” Qian Yongfu was very aggressive. Qian Yonglai also revealed his vicious expression.

“Guxing, run!” Xuanyuan pretended to be crying as he ran away while limping. The servants were amused and chased him.

“Boy, you are not going to die quickly. This time, I’m going to break all of your limbs and make sure you’re slowly eaten by the beasts in the mass grave.” Qian Yongfu was more powerful so he quickly approached Xuanyuan and raised a fist to punch Xuanyuan’s back. Xuanyuan felt his back tingling. He knew immediately that this was the power of sense he gained from reciting the Book. With the tingling sensation, he could sense what direction the enemy was striking him from.

When Qian Yongfu almost hit Xuanyuan’s back, Xuanyuan suddenly crouched and turned around. His fist violently hit Qian Yongfu’s stomach.

His attack was almost undetectable. His strength of five bulls burst forth. There was a sharp bang when he hit Qian Yongfu.

Qian Yongfu’s eyes grew round. He started to throw up the contents of his stomach. He didn’t expect the boy who only had the strength of one bull was now in possession of five times that strength after a few days. What made him even angrier was that Xuanyuan pretended to be weak and tricked them!

It was only one punch and Qian Yongfu could no longer fight. He was twitching like an electrocuted toad. A stream of saliva was flowing from the corner his mouth. He was in a miserable state.

Qian Yonglai was petrified. He still hadn’t understood what was going on.

“Wha…what do you want?”

The roles suddenly reversed. Qian Yonglai was like a terrified little rabbit and Xuanyuan was the big bad wolf.

Guxing slowly approached. It had a smirk on its face, like it was mocking them.

“Not much. I just want to break all your limbs and feed you to the beasts in the mass grave. So you know how it feels.”

Qian Yonglai’s strength was much weaker than Xuanyuan’s. Xuanyuan stepped forward and grabbed Qian Yonglai’s shoulders. It was so tight that Qian Yonglai couldn’t move. He could only feel his shoulder bone being crushed bit by bit. A searing pain transferred through every part of his body. He could not help but cry out.

Usually, Qian Yonglai was the one who did the beating. No one dared to beat him. After all, no one wanted to provoke the Yue Family, the biggest family of Moonwaste city.

Xuanyuan did dare to provoke them.

Crack…..crack….

The sound of bones crushing was harmonized with Qian Yonglai’s screams. All the bones in his limbs were broken one by one.

Because of the terror and pain, Qian Yonglai lost control of his bowels. A disgusting stench suddenly made Xuanyuan cover his nose. He searched Qian Yonglai’s body and found a big bag of fighter coins, at least a thousand of them. Xuanyuan was shocked by how much a vicious servant of the Yue Family could earn. It was more than he had saved in his whole life. He put the bag of coins into his pocket without a second thought.

He then moved to Qian Yongfu and smiled coldly. He stamped down onto Qian Yongfu’s limbs and broke them. There was a horrifying scream.

He felt amazing while doing all this. Xuanyuan had never killed anyone and had no desire to kill them. This was sufficient punishment.

He found two hundred and fifty warrior coins on Qian Yongfu. He remembered that one of these coins was worth ten fighter coins. This seemed to be the reward for him reaching four bulls strength. No wonder he was showing off and planning a visit to the brothel.

The servants were very upset about Xuanyuan taking their coins. The money was gained from a great deal of bad deeds. Now that it was taken by Xuanyuan, it clearly upset them.

“Hey, man…let us go…. it’s all our fault. Forgive us, we’ll make it up to you.”

“That’s right…. Don’t do this… You already broke our limbs. Please don’t do this.”

They kept begging and crying while looking terrified.

“You gained these coins by evil means. I’m going to spend them for you. As for your lives, that depends on your fate.”

Xuanyuan smiled happily as he dragged them onto the ragged road. Their faces and bodies were bruised. They looked disgusting. Xuanyuan threw them into the mass grave like dead animals. Then he went back into the forest to hunt for food.
