Chapter 72: Chapter 71: Mindset and Guo Yang’s Visit
Translator: 549690339
High noon.
The sun blared overhead.
The backyard of Yinghui Grocery Store.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Muscular arms repeatedly sliced through the air, resounding with the noise of breaking air constantly.
Chen Sheng’s gaze was focused, his breathing lengthy, constantly practicing the Three Bodies Five Elements technique.
There were no errands for him to run today.
Starting from breakfast, he had been training in the backyard the entire time.
At this moment,
Zhou Li’s words from the morning kept echoing in his ears.
The people he had killed,
From the startup Pig-faced Man, to the Faceless Man, the two brothers of the Wang family, Li Qian, and the two from last night.
The faces of these people surfaced before him one after the other.
Their expressions were fierce and resentful, continuously questioning Chen Sheng why he had to kill them.
“Chen Sheng, despite taking my uncle as your master, you killed me. I want to see how you’ll face my uncle!”
“You might have killed me with your strength today, but there will be stronger people who will kill you tomorrow!”
“You killed me, the organization will take revenge for me. You won’t die a good death!”
These questions seemed almost tangible, disturbing Chen Sheng’s peace.
“Get lost! ”
He suddenly bellowed out.
His fists thundered out like cannonballs, trying to smash the resentful faces in front of him.
Indeed,
Among the people he killed, some had to die, while some didn’t need to.
Most things in the world also had better, more perfect solutions.
But so what?
Isn’t killing them outright the simplest and most straightforward method?
Why would he abandon his own strength and choose the so-called “kind”, “gentle” way which was more troublesome? To let those people consider how to harm him?
Or was it,
Waiting for others to solve his problems?
Waiting for things to develop in a good direction?
Waiting for good luck to favor him and turn evil into good?
No.
That was not what he wanted.
What he wanted was,
To control his own destiny with his own strength!
With this thought, Chen Sheng’s gaze became more determined.
He threw a punch.
Swoosh!
The force flowed without hindrance.
The Pig-faced Man, the Faceless Man, Li Qian…..
These faces were shattered one after the other by Chen Sheng’s punches.
The original knot of negative energy whirling in his heart was also shattered by this punch.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
His thoughts were firm, and his mind was clear.
Chen Sheng’s punches became faster and faster, leaving a trail of shadows in front of him.
The sound of breaking air became continuous.
But he didn’t feel the slightest fatigue, instead, the more he punched, the more excited he became.
He even had a faint feeling that every minute and second, he was getting stronger.
One hour.
Two hours.
Time slowly slipped away as Chen Sheng was continuously training and growing stronger.
Immediately after he finished drinking the Vitality Soup during his training, he gulped down the Spirit Medicine Soup and started practicing Eagle-shaped Breathing Technique without rest.
Until the sun set and the moon rose.
Chen Sheng, somewhat short of breath, finally stopped his movements. He sat near the stone table in the backyard, assessing the results of his training that day.
A full day of training brought about considerable improvement.
[Chen Sheng] [Strength: 9.05] [Agility: 9-47]
Iconsutuuon: 9.23 J [Skill Points: 8.54]
Strength increased by 1.8 Agility increased by 2.
Constitution increased by 1.7
This huge improvement was almost equivalent to the past two or three days.
This includes the time he spent and the benefits from the Eagle Body Breathing Technique.
Of course,
The main factor is still the Spirit Medicine Soup.
Without the energy from the Spirit Medicine Soup, even if Chen Sheng trained until bedtime, he might not have had such a large improvement.
What a pity.
The effects of the Spirit Medicine are too potent, it evaporates too quickly, even if Chen Sheng trained relentlessly, he was unable to absorb all of it and part of it was lost.
Upon reflection, Chen Sheng thought it was because his training results weren’t big enough.
Yesterday, the reason why Chen Sheng was able to increase all his attributes by more than two points in one day,
Was because he upgraded the Eagle Body Breathing Technique, which in a short time reduced the duration of practicing the breathing technique, allowing him to absorb the effects of the Spirit Medicine in a shorter time.
But today, without being able to upgrade the Breathing Technique again, he could only watch the effects slip away.
Even with 130kg weight, for him now, it was barely enough.
Although with higher attributes,
The speed at which he was getting stronger would also get faster and faster.
But Chen Sheng still felt that it wasn’t enough.
Thinking about what Shen Ziming had said earlier, about how Heavenly Persons might appear in the near future, he felt an inexplicable sense of urgency.
A creature that was extremely terrifying, harbored malice towards humans, and was immortal.
If everything Shen Ziming said was true,
The appearance of this species would inevitably cause a huge impact on the current world.
What Chen Sheng wanted was to improve himself as quickly as possible before the world changed drastically, so as to cope with potential crises that might come.
But now, the lack of Spirit Medicine and intensity of training greatly slowed his pace.
As for the issue of spirit medicine, Chen Sheng planned to find time to consult with Zhou Li.
As for the intensity of his training, that was a problem he had to solve himself.
Thinking of this,
Chen Sheng sighed helplessly.
Once his stamina was basically regained, he got up and walked towards Zhou Li’s room.
Thump, thump.
The room door was knocked.
“Old man, are you eating or not, I’m starving to death.”
Chen Sheng, who hadn’t eaten lunch after finishing his training, was continually getting hunger signals from his stomach.
After he knocked on the door.
The sound of someone getting up from the bed and several harsh coughs came trom inside the room.
About half a minute later, the room door was slowly opened.
Zhou Li had been in his room all day, except for breakfast and lunch.
At this moment, his face was deathly pale.
As the weather gradually turned cold, his body also became worse and worse.
“What’s for supper?”
Despite this,
Zhou Li looked excited at the thought of eating.
“I suddenly feel like eating meat.”
“Then you give me the phone number for ordering food, shall I order delivery?”
“Alright, alright, the phone number is 153…”
“Oh yes, I want to eat red braised pork—
Just when Zhou Li was about to tell him what he wanted to eat.
He saw Chen Sheng suddenly change his expression as if he had noticed something.
“Forget it, let’s eat later.” He interrupted Zhou Li’s order.
Bang!
He even directly shut the wooden door, nearly hitting Zhou Li’s nose.
This made the old man angry. “You damn little whipper-snapper, are you playing me?! ‘
“If you don’t order, I will!”
“Open the door for me!”
Zhou Li tried to push the door open, but it wouldn’t budge.
At the same time,
Chen Sheng’s serious voice came from outside. “Old man, lock the door and find a place to hide.”
“If I don’t call you, don’t come out.”
Hearing this,
Zhou Li’s face changed and he immediately understood what Chen Sheng meant.
He was silent for two seconds.
“Be careful.”
During this conversation, Zhou Li’s voice was somewhat low. “Don’t worry, it’ll be over soon.”
Only after the light was turned off and the room quieted down.
Did Chen Sheng leave the door and sit by the stone table in the backyard.
His eyes were downcast, as if waiting for someone.
Sure enough.
About a few minutes later, a tall, thin figure slowly lifted the curtain and walked into the backyard.
Once he entered the backyard.
His gaze landed on Chen Sheng, a gentle smile spreading across his face.
“Long time no see, junior brother Chen.”
The visitor was none other than Guo Yang.
Facing this man, who once made him feel helpless and outmatched. Chen Sheng’s heart was no longer as tense as it was before.
“Not disguising yourself this time?” He said without lifting his head.
At his words,
A flash of surprise passed through Guo Yang’s eyes.
“Junior Brother Chen, you knew it was me last time?”
Chen Sheng didn’t reply.
He lifted his head, staring coldly at Guo Yang. “Can I ask why Senior Brother Guo must insist on making me fight for my life?”
A slight smile formed on Guo Yang’s lips.
“You’ll find out.” “But not now.”
After saying this,
He slowly walks towards Chen Sheng.
“Are you so sure you can handle me?”
Chen Sheng also slowly got up to meet Guo Yang, who was leisurely strolling forward.
Chen Sheng’s face was expressionless.
Guo Yang wore a faint smile.
But when their eyes met.
In both of their eyes, there was a blatant animosity.
“I, of course, know that Junior Brother Chen’s ability is not bad, after all, you have just killed a Transformed Force yesterday.” “Who knows how much stronger you are today.” “I dared to come here because I have my own confidence.”
Obviously,
Guo Yang had already learned about the death of the dog-faced man.
It seemed to confirm his words.
Behind Chen Sheng, shadows shuffled.
Two people wearing dog-faced masks leaped into the courtyard.
Their chilling eyes were all focused on Chen Sheng.
Even if Guo Yang thought he could handle Chen Sheng on his own.
But the presence of two Transformed Force dog-faced men could make things a bit simpler.
“Junior Brother Chen.”
Guo Yang’s face was full of mirth.
“Do you give up willingly?”
“Or do I have to beat you to a pulp and then take you away?”
