76 Sports Day Kicks Off (1/2)
*Shiiing!*
The Essence of Blade let out a shrill snip and flew from the corpse of the Killer Bee back to Chen.
This little guy consumed the essence of the blood, but it did not suck people dry – it only ingested the best parts.
The Killer Bee was a powerhouse in the mortal world. His essence of the blood was exuberant, but evidently, to the Essence of Blade, it was not enough to satisfy its appetite.
It was originally semi-translucent, and now it was glowing with a slight red hue, the changes were not too apparent.
”Don't get anxious about this matter, Master had already said earlier, nurturing a sword is the same as training: take one step at a time, take it slow.”
Chen had a very good attitude going on; he was not impatiently demanding for instantaneous results. He moved his thoughts and stored the Essence of Blade back into his body.
Subsequently, Chen kept Killer Bee's body back in the treasure chest. He carefully inspected the surroundings to make sure that he had not left any trails behind, before leaving in the car with Jing Fei.
But!
Right after they left, a silhouette appeared from behind a car nearby.
That person held a phone, and its screen was playing back a recording of Chen's flying sword taking the man's life.
”How did this kid do it… He's only in the middle phase of the physical body! How is it possible for him to control the sword? This is too incredible…”
The mysterious man stared at the phone and played the video over and over again, and he kept mumbling, ”This is not possible… How could this be possible…”
...
Back in school.
Chen was not lying on the hostel bed scrolling through group chats like he usually did.
Instead, he ran all the way to the rooftop of the entire block, sat on the ground and immediately started to practice on the Scripture of Heaven and Earth.
Everything that had happened today made him realize that he was still a pebble in a world of martial art masters.
Even if the Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms had changed his life; in reality, it was far from enough.
The world was far bigger than he had imagined it to be! And far more brutal!
He did not want to be an ignorant fool, and even moreso, he did not want to be a weakling bullied by others!
There was only one way to avoid that —— hard work! Ceaseless hard work!
...
This time, he spent a long time training himself – it continued on for five days and five nights.
During the course of which, Chen relied on the Potion of Hundred Herbs to restore his strength.
He did not even take one step off the rooftop.
His combat power and health had increased to 998, one step away from breaking through.
But Chen had no choice but to stop here, because today is the opening of the Sports day.
As he sat on the rooftop, he could hear, distinctly, the marching song coming from the field.
”Shit! The inauguration is about to end! My beautiful teacher must be worried sick…”
Chen did not dare to delay any further. He quickly ran downstairs and sprinted towards the sports field.
...
On the field.
The opening ceremony has ended. The students of every class were already seated in the stands.
Lin Xiang stood at the very front of the class, looking out frantically at the entrance of the field, ”Damn it! Xiaobei! Why isn't he here yet… The one-hundred-meter dash is going to start…”
”Ms. Lin, where is your Most Valuable Player?”
Right then, a strange voice boomed from right beside her.
When she turned around, she saw Luo Bing, accompanied by Dongfang Yangwei, walking over. Both of them wore conceited expressions on their faces, full of mockery.
