Chapter 33 - Knocked Out Cold

Lin Cheng continued to absorb the Spirit Liquid alone in the corner without caring about the others.

However, he suddenly halted his absorption when he realized his cultivation was not improving.

"What's going on?" Lin Cheng muttered in a low tone. "How come I don't feel an ounce of my cultivation base increasing?"

Lin Cheng tried to check his body condition as he wondered what was wrong with him.

Little did he know, Lee Tao was laughing evilly when he watched Lin Cheng acting like an ignorant fool.

"Aiyah, what a foolish kid!" Lee Tao snickered as he stopped harnessing his profound qi for now.

There was no point in harnessing a little bit of Lin Cheng's profound qi when he stopped absorbing the Spirit Liquid.

His value was only slightly decent in Lee Tao's eyes if he had continued to absorb.

"Damn it, what is this crap Spirit Liquid?" Suddenly, Lin Cheng shouted aloud in anger.

He then slammed his palm on the Spirit Liquid, causing a mini-wave around the pond.

"What the hell are you doing?" Meng Xue was the first one to respond and curse Lin Cheng for his actions.

After all, she was like a dumb little girl, falling for his charm, only to realize he was rotten on the inside.

Thus, she felt embarrassed and humiliated whenever she recalled her previous self that looked at Lin Cheng with dazzling eyes.

Lin Cheng snorted as he ignored Meng Xue and stood up from the Spirit Liquid.

"Such trash Spirit Liquid that doesn't even benefit me. It's better off to have it destroyed." Lin Cheng grunted in anger as he raised his hand.

Lin Cheng then used his profound qi to coat his hand as he prepared himself to try and vaporize the Spirit Liquid.

Lee Tao narrowed his eyes as he vanished from his position.

Afterward, Lee Tao appeared behind Lin Cheng with a murderous aura.

"Listen up, you little trash. The next time you want to ruin my chance, I will smother you." Lee Tao said in a cold tone as he flicked his finger.

A wave of profound qi shot directly at Lin Cheng and attached itself in his sea of consciousness.

Lin Cheng was dumbfounded when he realized he could no longer utilize his profound qi.

"What did you do to me?" Lin Cheng turned around as he tried to grab onto Lee Tao.

Lee Tao chuckled softly as he gave Lin Cheng a hard and fierce slap to the face.

Lin Cheng was sent flying as he rolled around the ground before coming to a stop when the momentum was over.

Lee Tao's display of strength once again shocked the women in the Spirit Liquid pond as they didn't know what just happened.

One moment, Lin Cheng was threatening to vaporize the Spirit Liquid. The next moment, he was sent flying like a third-rate villain by Lee Tao.

"I-Is he really an Elementary Spirit Realm?" Jia Qiu asked in a dumbfounded tone.

Her eyes were wide open as she kept rubbing on her eyes to make sure she wasn't blind.

"I-I don't know why but I feel my heart is beating rapidly now." Meng Xue added as she stared deeply at Lee Tao. "For some reason, Lee Tao seemed more handsome by the second and I can't take my eyes off of him."

Jia Qiu nodded her head in agreement.

Meanwhile, Yao Meixiang was too speechless to even utter a single sound.

She could only glance at Lee Tao and wondered if he was really what people had described him- a trash from the Lee Clan.

'How could someone so powerful be regarded as trash?' Yao Meixiang asked herself silently.

"Madam Liu's foresight is indeed terrifying." Tang Lingling muttered as she felt a cold chill in her back.

While the ladies became mesmerized by his prowess, Lee Tao clasped his hand as he shrugged his shoulders.

"What a blunder!" Lee Tao clicked his tongue as he walked toward Lin Cheng.

"Kid was so weak that he was knocked out cold from a single slap." Lee Tao added as he kicked the unconscious Lin Cheng back into the Spirit Liquid.

A big water splash was created when the unconscious Lin Cheng landed on the Spirit Liquid.

Lin Cheng took a deep dive at the Spirit Liquid for a few moments before the laws of physics occurred and he began floating above.

'Don't think that just because you no longer want to absorb the Spirit Liquid means you could stop. This big daddy here wants you to absorb them all so you must absorb them, conscious or not conscious.' Lee Tao cursed Lin Cheng inwardly as he proceeded to walk toward the ladies.

Since the Spirit Liquid could not be absorbed by Lee Tao directly, he could only use Lin Cheng as the guinea pig for him to harness.

Thus, Lee Tao was enraged when a mere guinea pig had the nerve to say he wouldn't do it.

If an Immortal wants you to do something, then as a mere mortal, they should be honored and grateful to be able to assist an Immortal.

Lee Tao took a deep breath to pacify his anger before smiling at the ladies.

"Alright, commotion is over. Back to absorbing your Spirit Liquid. These are sent by heaven and it would be a waste to leave a single drop behind." Lee Tao announced as he laid down on the ground.

Sometime later, the ladies finally finished absorbing every single drop of the Spirit Liquid.

"I have broken through to the next stage." Jia Qiu exclaimed happily when she felt stronger.

"Same for me here." Meng Xue added as she punched out a wave of profound qi.

The punch made a swooshing sound as it penetrated the wall slightly.

"My strength also increased by two-fold." Meng Xue smiled. She then looked at Yao Meixiang and asked, "What about you, Yao Meixiang?"

Yao Meixiang didn't reply to her as she simply exuded her aura.. The ground began trembling slightly once it felt the pressure emitted by Yao Meixiang.
