Chapter 20 Space in the Mysterious Stone

"This..."

Li Ping'an suddenly quivered. His body pain and exhaustion abruptly eased, and he also gradually recovered from the numbness in his limbs.

The scene before him was extremely startled and shocked.

Above the big stone, there was a tall and large bird, as if it were a king arrogantly inspecting its land.

This bird, glittered with gold light, was big enough to almost blot out the sky.

Standing below it, Li Ping'an felt that he was as tiny and weak as an ant.

He was being stared at by this pair of cold gold eyes of the bird. Its eyes were so vivid that as if it were alive.

Moreover, it was likely that he would be fed by it.

"Is it Kunpeng in the tale? It's pretty cool."

However, Li Ping'an didn't avoid its eyes but glanced at them.

It was indeed his character.

As the saying went, "We would rather die on our feet than live on our knees."

When he was alive, if he could not eat meat cooked in the pot, he would be willing to perish in the pot.

Thus, if he were eaten by Kunpeng, he must find out what exactly the stone was.

Everyone would be dead. However, in the course of the long history, who would be fed on by Kunpeng, a unique bird?

In the tale, it was a match for dragons and phoenixes.

If Li Ping'an were to be killed by Kunpeng in its mouth, he would not regret it, regardless of his unwillingness.

In his view, he not only respected the strong but also longed to be stronger.

Li Ping'an was not stronger than the bird, so he should bear this result.

To his surprise, the huge Kunpeng didn't do any other thing but faded after seeing Li Ping'an for a while.

On the big stone, there was no pattern but only a little glittering light. It showed that what Li Ping'an had seen just now was real.

"What's the hell going on?"

Li Ping'an recovered more from his numb hands and feet, so he tried to get to his feet, continuing taking a look at this place.

At this time, Li Ping'an was neither knocked unconscious by the horrible force nor was driven out of this place. On the contrary, this place seemed to be owned by him.

Li Ping'an trembled.

"Is it because I was so weak that I was driven out of the space at its will before? Now, after drinking eight bottles of five-star Nutrition Drop, I'm strong enough, so even if Kunpeng cannot throw me out again."

He was delighted.

In spite of this assumption, Li Ping'an thought it increasingly reasonable.

Although the huge Kunpeng firstly stared at him, it also disappeared firstly.

Li Ping'an was bold, so after a few minutes of rest, he was energetic despite being physically weak.

"It is not easy to enter this space, and it's owned by me, so how could I not make a careful inspection of it?"

Casual as his words were, Li Ping'an still kept prudent.

Having been thrown out many times before, he didn't feel comfortable but grow stronger, so he was confident now.

More importantly, the stone was given by his parents, and he wore it since he was born.

If the stone were harmful, how could his parents give it to him and even let him wear it?

Li Ping'an figured it out, so he was not concerned about this place but felt at home here.

The private property left by his parents was owned by him at any place and at any time.

Having taken a rest, Li Ping'an regained his strength, so he didn't feel tired when walking. Now, he started gingerly patrolling his own field.

The space in the huge stone was not big, covering about a few square meters. It was surrounded by the white fog.

Although Li Ping'an was curious about the world beyond the fog, he was too weak to explore it. So, he was cautious enough to patrol the place within his ability.

Soon, in the space of the big stone, Li Ping'an encountered a pool as big as his fist.

Drip.

From above the stone, there were drops dripping exactly into the small pool.

It was the mysterious voice he had heard before.

"Why is there a small pool?"

"It's so strange. Where is the source of the water?"

Li Ping'an examined the pool and found that it was clean and clear, without any smell, as if it were the tastiest spring water.

After drinking eight bottles of Nutrition Drop, Li Ping'an was quite thirty, as if there were a fire burning in his chest.

The pool was not foul but clean, so he wanted to take a sip of it.

"This is my personal property and field, and it is given by my parents, so am I allowed to have a drink of the spring water?"

"What's more, I spent one bottle of five-star Nutrition Drop opening the space. Now, taking some spring water as interest."

After thinking of this, Li Ping'an, without any hesitation, scooped some with his hands to taste it. He found it quite sweet and tasty.

So, he chugalugged the spring water of the small pool.

Most of the drops newly dripping from around the stone fell onto his head.

"Haha, it is pretty tasty. Moreover, it is renewable. It will be a good idea if I come here for a drink in the future."

Li Ping'an casually relaxed his limbs and explored this place in a good mood.

He had gulped down eight bottles of five-star Nutrition Drop, but so what?

He bore the suffering.

What did it mean?

It meant that he was tenacious.

So, it was not easy for Li Ping'an to be dead.

In spite of his jokes, Li Ping'an still respected the stone.

After drinking the spring water in the pond, he didn't disturb anything here.

However, he experienced a lot, more than he had imagined, so he was exhausted.

Not far from the small pool, there was a big, smooth, and flat stone which was suitable to lie on it. Thus, Li Ping'an walked toward the stone and then lied on it. He planned to think over what had happened today. He also wanted to explore the space after taking a rest.

Maybe he was very tired when he lied on the stone. He felt that his eyelids were heavy. He couldn't control himself, even if he resisted the sleepiness. So, he fell asleep quickly.

...

As a line of the poem went, "Ten years of indulgence in Yangzhou was like a dream, but someone was seen as a heartless lover."

Li Ping'an didn't anticipate that when he slept inside the space, many days had passed outside it.

Today was Monday.

The combat testing for students would be held at Lanhai No.1 High School.

At 8 a.m., the school was busy and crowded.

Combat testing was the sole criterion of a strong person.

Today, combat testing would be held, which was the first time and the most important one after students of Grade 3 returned to school.

It affected not only the resource distribution of the school but also the reputation of each student.

If a student could be famous for his brilliant performance in Grade 3, it would be beneficial for his future, no matter an entrance examination for the university or other things.

His family and parents would also benefit from it.

If students were strong and famous, their parents would be proud of them.

Moreover, if they were geniuses, they would be adept at all aspects.

The generation of Li Ping'an's parents had many pities in the course of their life.

When they were students, there was no set of well-developed systems for activating their potential.

So, although they were in high positions, they were still far from the holy Awakening Stage.

Now, in this world, many things proved that a strong person good at fighting was more influential, and he even became the basic force of the world.

He was indispensable to many important jobs, too.

Hence, plenty of parents and relatives of students came to school to watch this testing which was rarely held every year.

At eight quarter a.m., it was in the testing ground in Lanhai No.1 High School.

Liu Qingyun wore white Taiji clothes, with his long hair tied on the back of his head. Now, he looked energetic and handsome.

Sitting not far from the main VIP section, he was surrounded by his followers.

In the main VIP section, Liu Haishan, the father of Liu Qingyun, was enthusiastically talking with leaders of Lanhai No.1 High School and influential people in many fields. They were quite brilliant.

"Childe Qingyun, Li Ping'an doesn't go to school these days. It's said that he has asked for a long leave. Does this bloke fear Childe Qingyun, so he dares not come here?"

"Sh*t! I used to think that he was famous, but how could he play tricks on us? He is not only as treacherous as a dog but also a cowardly bully."

"You shouldn't say that, because it means that Childe Qingyun is famous."

"You know, in school, Li Ping'an is also a little famous. However, at this time, he doesn't dare to fight with Childe Qingyun. Therefore, Childe Qingyun must be in a higher position and more famous than Li Ping'an in the future."

"When Childe Qingyun defeats Yan Xue and Liu Qu, he must be No.1 in school. Therefore, he will be a seeded player of the Hyphalosaurus Group of Yanjing University. Lots of beautiful girls must love him to death."

Liu Qingyun listened to flattering remarks by his followers, with a bigger grin on his face, and arrogantly cast his eyes to a charming figure on the other side.

He thought in mind, sneering, "Jiang Zhiyan, is it the man you have chosen? He always boasts himself, but why doesn't he appear at this critical moment? I wonder whether he would come here at ten when the game starts. If he didn't, how would you react to it?"

Not far from here, Jiang Zhiyan furrowed her eyebrows.

She was so acute that she naturally knew that Liu Qingyun would jerk at her with unkind eyesight.

However, she regarded him as a poor worm, so she was not willing to take another look at him.

What annoyed Jiang Zhiyan was that Li Ping'an had been disappearing for many days, so she didn't know whether he was alive or not.

She had asked Uncle Zhong to look for Li Ping'an at his home. However, he was not here.

Where the hell this b*st*rd had been?

Ms. Hong also arrived at the VIP section, on the other side of the testing ground.

On this occasion, the future of Li Ping'an was influenced by the testing result, so Ms. Hong must attend it.

When she arrived at the school, she knew that Li Ping'an had not come here for many days, which made her angry.

You boy, how come you played hooky?

However, he was out of touch, as if he had disappeared.

Ms. Hong knew that the combat testing was important to Li Ping'an, so he would not give it up without reason.

"Does he fear Liu Qingyun?"

"How could it be? He has beaten Yinya, so he is pretty bold."

"Is anything wrong with this boy?"

After thinking of this, Ms. Hong quivered and then took out her communication gadget to dial her assistants to look for Li Ping'an.
