Fang Heng swaggered into Chu Yan's courtyard with a smug look on his face. Once considered one of the "Three Ultimate Wastes," he had awakened a two-star martial spirit with the help of a "Soul Awakening Pill." However, even with his awakened martial spirit, there weren't many who could be impressed by him in the highly talented Extreme Sky Sect.
That's why Chu Yan became one of his few targets.
But today, Chu Yan...
"Junior brothers and sisters, this is Chu Yan, the so-called number one waste in our Extreme Sky Sect!"
"In the future, all of you must strive to cultivate and awaken your martial spirits early. Otherwise, you'll end up like him, constantly oppressed and humiliated, like a dead dog, bringing shame upon yourselves."
The boys and girls, aged ten to fifteen, following behind Fang Heng, wore expressions of innocence and curiosity, clearly new disciples.
Chu Yan sneered. After awakening his martial spirit, Fang Heng, relying on his family's "Soul Awakening Pill," didn't devote himself to cultivation and delighted instead in humiliating others every day. What achievements could such a person have?
In Chu Yan's memories, not only Fang Heng but also the others in the sect who frequently humiliated him were numerous. Getting beaten up a few times every month had become a regular occurrence.
Even the "Body Tempering Pills" provided by the sect were always snatched away...
Chu Yan let out a cold laugh and looked at Fang Heng, casually saying, "Who are you calling a waste?"
"Huh? The waste has some backbone today. Why are you glaring at me? Feeling itchy again?"
In the instant Fang Heng locked eyes with Chu Yan, he instinctively felt something was off about those sharp eyes.
"Just you?"
Chu Yan continued to sneer, standing tall with an indifferent demeanor. In contrast, Fang Heng's face turned slightly red, and a sense of uneasiness surged within him.
"You're looking for death!"
In his desperation and anger, Fang Heng's aura, at the second stage of Body Tempering Realm, surged violently as he attempted to throw a punch at Chu Yan.
"Stop!" A sweet voice suddenly rang out.
Everyone looked up simultaneously, seeing a young girl in a purple dress stepping forward. Although there was a smile on her lips, her sharp gaze was fixed firmly on Fang Heng.
Upon seeing the girl, Fang Heng's face instantly changed, filled with a strong sense of fear.
Not because of anything else, but simply because of the girl's purple robe, a symbol of an inner disciple.
Even more importantly, this girl was none other than Chu Bing, the number one genius of the Chu Family, whose reputation spread throughout the entire Luonan City.
Fang Heng inwardly cursed. He thought he could tease Chu Yan in front of the new disciples with his cultivation level, but he never expected her to appear at this moment.
"No, it's nothing. I just wanted to have a little exchange with Brother Chu Yan," Fang Heng, who knew about the close relationship between Chu Bing and Chu Yan, placated with a smile towards the girl in the purple robe.
"Go away!"
The girl stared at him, then uttered a single word.
Fang Heng trembled, his face turned ashen. As he turned around and walked away, he shot a fierce glare at Chu Yan, only to be followed by the new disciples leaving Chu Yan's courtyard.
"Chu Bing! Why are you here?" Chu Yan looked at the fellow clanswoman in astonishment, a questioning expression on his face.
"I secretly came to see you!" Chu Bing's icy demeanor slowly melted, revealing a rare gentle smile.
This rumored astonishingly talented and unparalleled beauty was rarely seen to display warmth in front of others, except for Chu Yan, her childhood companion.
Chu Bing would never forget...
When they were young, she had accidentally fallen off a cliff and scared away all the other kids. Only seven-year-old Chu Yan, gritting his teeth, held onto her small hand for a full hour until their clansmen found them and rescued them.
As they grew older, Chu Bing relied on her incredible talent and reached the sixth stage of Body Tempering at the age of twelve, awakening a six-star martial spirit. She was directly accepted as an inner disciple by the Extreme Sky Sect, causing their opportunities to meet to become scarce.
"Here!" Chu Bing extended her hand towards Chu Yan, revealing a lightly scented Body Tempering Pill in her open palm.
"This is too precious, I can't accept it!" Chu Yan quickly refused.
The Body Tempering Pill was a precious medicine for cultivating martial arts, with powerful effects for cultivators below the realm of Body Tempering. Both the clan and the sect would spend large sums of money to provide such invaluable pills to talented disciples.
Originally, Chu Yan had also received Body Tempering Pills distributed by the sect, but as a weak individual, he always had them snatched away. So, for the past three years, Chu Yan hadn't taken a single pill.
It seemed that Chu Bing had taken the Body Tempering Pills given to her by the family or the sect and kept them for him. This gesture moved Chu Yan, but he couldn't accept it.
"I said I'm giving it to you, so just take it. Are you still my little brother?" Chu Bing expressed some displeasure.
"With this Body Tempering Pill, it can help you improve your cultivation. Maybe it can even awaken your martial spirit!" A glint flashed in Chu Yan's eyes, and he was about to speak when a voice suddenly sounded.
"Ice, why did you come here?"
A figure dressed in a purple robe with golden trims entered the courtyard. After sweeping a glance at Chu Yan and faintly furrowing his brows, he spoke to Chu Bing.
"Master! I came to see my little brother!"
Taking advantage of Chu Yan's momentary distraction, Chu Bing swiftly stuffed the Body Tempering Pill into his hand and hastily bowed to the middle-aged man in the purple robe with golden trims.
"Ice, why did you come here? Come back with me!" The middle-aged man's face displayed displeasure.
"Yes, Master!" Chu Bing glanced at Chu Yan, reluctantly lifted her foot, and walked towards the middle-aged man.
Watching their retreating figures, Chu Yan held onto the Body Tempering Pill, feeling a warmth in his heart.
"Ice, you are one of the top ten talented disciples of our sect. In the future, speak less with trash like him to avoid being influenced by him..."
"Master, my little brother just hasn't awakened his martial spirit. He is very intelligent..."
"Enough. I saw you just gave him the Body Tempering Pill. When we return, I'll give you another one. Let this matter be settled, but don't let it happen again. Remember, it's best to avoid associating with trash who haven't awakened their martial spirit by the age of fifteen, even if they're fellow clansmen."
"..."
Every word of Chu Bing's conversation with her master reached Chu Yan's ears, as well as the ears of Fang Heng, who was secretly hiding outside the courtyard and hadn't left.
"Without strength, one can only be looked down upon. Isn't that the rule of this world?"
Chu Yan retracted his flickering gaze, feeling a stirring in his heart. He lifted his foot and walked out of the courtyard, heading towards the direction of the Martial Skills Pavilion.
