Capítulo 3: Chapter 03 I Hate Being Weak
Facing Chu Fan, Lu Jin knew that he has no chance against him, even if Chu Fan used only his elementary spells.
"But to kowtow to someone weaker than me when my life is not even threatened, that impossible," he thought as he stood his ground.
The difference between the body tempering realm and xiantian realm is so huge that ten 'normal' peak rank body tempering realm cultivators can't win against a single xiantian realm cultivator.
A xiantian realm cultivator has unsealed its dantian, which is located at the naval region of its body.
And the dantian is used to store energy Qi. With the amount of energy Qi a dantian of a rank one xiantian realm cultivator can contain is 20 times the energy Qi swimming in the meridians of a body tempering realm cultivator.
"Even if I can't beat him or defend myself from been brutally beaten, I must protect my internal organs," Lu Jin thought as he readied himself for the imminent thrashing.
When the crowd of students saw Lu Jin getting in a battle stance, they were astounded at his stupidity.
"Do you think that you can do anything to me, or do you think you can run away from me even if given the chance to?" Chu Fan asked confusedly.
Giving no reply, Lu Jin kept his battle stance as he moved his sword Qi to protect his meridians and other important internal organs.]
"I guess I have to mix my spell with my martial art so as to not accidentally kill him," Chu Fan thought as he dashed towards Lu Jin with the image of a cheetah with flames coming out of it nose appearing behind him.
Awakening a raging flame cheetah demon as his life spirit, Chu Fan was famous for his speed, his flame control, as well as his martial art strength, and together, that made Chu Fan a dangerous cultivator to deal with.
Making use of an elementary spell, Chu Fan's flaming Qi flowed through his meridians before settling at his fist.
Having a flaming fist in his right hand, he punched strongly at Lu Jin's chest.
Crack!! Bam!!
Lu Jin was sent flying as the sound of his bones breaking could be heard around the area of battle.
"Coug...cough....cough," he breathed weakly on the ground as blood leaked out of his mouth and nose, signifying the degree of damaged he received from Chu Fan's attack.
"Let leave," Chu Fan said to Bu Nan and some of his friends who came with him.
"Even though craving sword Jin is a genius, he amounted to nothing in front of senior brother Fan's strength," a peak rank body tempering realm cultivator said as he shook his head.
After all the commotion settled down, the students left Lu Jin alone on the ground without rendering any help or assistant.
Looking at the students leaving, Lu Jin didn't call for anyone to help him, letting them all go and leaving him to his fate.
"It's all because I'm so weak that I got trampled upon by senior brother Fan and had no strength to resist," he said as he looked at the bright blue sky above him, "all my cultivation and hard work wasn't even enough to go against one of the weakest students in the academy."
"I hate it. I hate how weak I am, hate how useless my strength is," he sobbed as tears rolled down the side of his eyes to his ears.
After lying on the ground for over an hour due to the pain coursing through his body, he once again saw the nature of humans.
The entire student in his batch left him to his fate.
"I'm really glad I got to protect my internal organs, saving me from developing internal problems in my body, which might've reduced the speed at which I normally cultivate," Lu Jin muttered as he appreciated the beauty of the vast blue sky.
"Chu Fan and Bu Nan will definitely pay for what they did to me. And I will render suffering and sorrow to anyone who crosses my path to the top and to a lifetime of freedom," he said with determination and conviction.
Crawling to his room, Lu Jin was glad that Chu Fan and Bu Nan came close to his room, as it made it easy to crawl back to.
Entering his room, he tried sitting down but found out that he doesn't have any strength in his limbs.
"The energy Qi Chu Fan used went into my body and broke so many of my bones, burnt some of my veins and left me internally injured. But I'm glad my meridians are completely saved," he said as he remembered what he heard on the street in the past.
"The body of a cultivator is a like a building, the skin is the roof, the bones are the pillars, and the meridians and dantian are the foundation, so protect your foundation and it will protect the pillar and the roof."
Lu Jin started cultivating with the 9 basics of the sword technique, but after cultivating for just a few seconds he could feel pains coursing through his body.
"Aaaah...aaagg.. I can take it, I can take it, I can take it, I..... can.....take...I..it," he consoled himself as he kept on practicing.
Using the energy Qi absorbed by the 9 basics of the sword, he started mending his bones and healing the burnt veins.
During the process of treating himself, Lu Jin was able to see his bones, his bone marrow, his blood vessels, hear his heartbeat, see his meridians and even a tiny dot of light at his naval region which is the formation of his dantian.
Using the energy Qi of his sword technique, he directed it to his bones, bringing one close to the other as he used the energy Qi to bound them together.
Feeling the reattachment of his bones by using energy Qi, he gritted his teeth and continued his practice.
Few hours passed by before a cracking sound echoed from Lu Jin's body.
Opening his eyes, he smiled and said, "never expected to breakthrough to the 8th rank of body tempering realm so fast."
As its name implies, the body tempering realm is to temper the body with the energy Qi gotten from the environment, breaking the limit of the human body and gaining monstrous strength.
The standard strength of a rank seven body tempering realm cultivator is calculated at 1,750kg.
Now in the 8th rank of body tempering realm, Lu Jin has the strength of 2,550kg.
"If I were to face senior brother Fan again, I would still lose badly," Lu Jin said as he felt the strength coursing through his body, "but I just need to keep working hard and maybe try to understand more about my body."
Seeing how charred his hands were, he shook his head before getting up.
"Seems like I have to go to the sickbay to get medication," he said as he walked out of his room.
...
Six days later...
Hearing nothing from Lu Jin after six days, the students from his batch all became curious about his wellbeing.
"Do you think he still alive?" a student asked, not indicating the person he was asking about.
"It doesn't matter if he's alive or not," Bu Nan said as he sat cross-legged on the ground, "his cultivation won't be as easy as it was before."
Just as the class were in a heated discussion, someone wrapped like an Egyptian mummy walked into the class.
"Excuse me, are you supposed to be in here?" a student asked the mummy.
Instead of replying, the wrapped individual started writing in a paper and after he finished, showed the paper to the student.
Looking at the paper, the word was Lu Jin.
"Lujin?" the student pronounced before looking at the paper properly.
"Lu Jin!!" he blurted out as he finally remembered his classmate.
"That Lu Jin? he looks different," a student said.
"That is because he's wrapped," another student said.
"Hahahaha!! Lu Jin, looked like you suffered quite a lot to be wrapped like this. Hahaha!!" Bu Nan laughed with joy coursing through his veins at the sight of Lu Jin.
Not bothered to respond, Lu Jin sat there as if he didn't hear what Bu Nan said.
"Looks like you lost your voice in the beating, so unfortunate. But you shouldn't feel bad, at least you can still walk to class after five days," Bu Nan said with a smile on his face.
Not getting any response from Lu Jin, he snorted before sitting cross-legged on the ground.
"Lu Jin, hope you are recovering well?" Sir Ku wang asked with expectation after entering the classroom.
Lu Jin responded by nodding his head.
"Ok, try to rest well." Sir Ku wang said.
"All of you have just a month and two weeks before participating in the annual competition for newcomers," he said, "noteworthy rewards will be given out to those who performs well."
