Since early morning of the next day, all sorts of variations of news and stories about Ling Yun exploded throughout Qingshui High and spread like wildfire.
"Have you heard? Apparently, the useless Ling Yun from Grade 12 Class 6 came back to hostel really late last night. I heard he was in a frenzy as he stepped on Wei Tiangan in his room!"
"I've heard about that long ago, it wasn't just that, you know who's Jia Meng, right? He got slapped so hard he flew out of the door and lost two of his teeth…"
"Of course I knew that! I saw him clutching his cheeks as he walked towards the hospital when I came to school. I'm guessing he's going to fill his teeth! Hey, his cheeks were so swollen…"
"Unbelievable, judging by how useless that dumb fat pig looks, what on earth could have triggered him to that extent? Don't forget that he has never retaliated no matter who bullied him for almost three years…"
"Hehe, do you really have to ask? That idiot definitely confessed to our school's number one campus belle Cao Shanshan last night. I'll let you know but don't tell anyone, Ling Yun was half-naked when he returned to the hostel!"
"Well, you can't be sure. Maybe Ling Yun felt that since he had bullied and tainted Cao Shanshan, he'd be screwed sooner or later anyway. Therefore, he acted the way he did in the hostel…"
"When all hope is lost, people really do lose their minds…"
…
Last night's news was like a gust of wind that blew through every corner of the school's compound since early morning. In addition, with the vivid imagination of high school students, the rumors snowballed and got even more ridiculous. Yesterday's incident was completely twisted beyond recognition by the end of it!
"That useless garbage Ling Yun confessed to our campus belle Cao Shanshan last night and got rejected. This resulted in him unleashing the beast within and forcing himself upon her. We don't know what happened after that. However, when he got back to his hostel, he gave his hostel mates, who had bullied him before, a good beating!"
To summarize, it was basically like a toad lusting over a swan's flesh! She was way out of his league!
Maybe that was the conclusion that satisfied the high schoolers' wild imagination and curiosity. Ultimately, this was the version of the story that garnered the most approval among the students.
Grade 12 Class 6.
Wei Tiangan held an English textbook in his hand. Even though his eyes were staring at the book, his focus was elsewhere. He had an evil and sly grin on his face that spelt success, with a hint of ruthlessness emanating from the corner of his lips occasionally.
Ling Yun, even though I don't know why you suddenly became so strong, and even though I can't beat you now, there are two among the Big Four Bullies in school who have openly confessed that they like Cao Shanshan. Let's see how your death with unfold when this news gets out!
As his thoughts trailed there, a hint of sick satisfaction filled Wei Tiangan's heart. It was as if he could actually see Ling Yun getting physically abused by those bullies until he was unable to get up, all while howling in pain and begging for mercy.
Hmm, so what if you can fight? With your results being the last in class, you probably can't even pass the college entrance exam and will end up as a labor worker in the future…
Wei Tiangan's Ah-Q
Cao Shanshan definitely deserved it when people crowned her the best campus belle in the history of Qingshui High. No matter whether was it her family background, physical attributes, or academic results, she was always of a higher calibre!
However, Cao Shanshan's beautiful face seemed to be covered in snow. Her gloomy expression, colossal bust that was rising and falling rapidly, and her flaring nostrils following her gentle pants made her look like an angry little lion. She did not know if she could hold it in any longer!
Right then, her desk mate, Zhang Ling, nicknamed "mouth runner", whose favorite thing to do was to get to the bottom of things, would not stop trying to gossip with her.
Zhang Ling was rather attractive too. In fact, she would be considered a beauty if she was among some plain-looking people. However, when she was beside Cao Shanshan, she was nothing more than accessory, like a leaf to a flower.
"I say, Shanshan, did Ling Yun really do something to you?"
"I didn't even see that idiot last night! I've answered this question way too many times already and I'm sick of it!" Cao Shanshan looked at Zhang Ling with an expression that seemed like anger mixed with embarrassment. She looked as though she was about to explode!
"But last night, I really did see Ling Yun follow you out of school… The distance between the two of you was not more than 30 meters…"
Zhang Ling blinked as if she was trying to spot hints or clues from Cao Shanshan's reply.
"You dare say! Alright, I'll admit that he was not far behind me last night. After a few hundred meters, he took a turn and went the opposite way from me! After that, I went straight home! You can go and ask my parents right now if you don't believe me! Are you satisfied with that answer?" Cao Shanshan was about to lose her mind!
However, the first thing she saw when she got to school was how her classmates were judging her and whispering among themselves. The bits and pieces of the news that she overheard sent her into a boiling rage!
When she finally got to her classroom, Cao Shanshan noticed that everyone there was looking at her differently. She was about to go insane right then and she really wanted to string up Ling Yun before tearing him into thousands of shreds!
"Is it possible that that idiotic Ling Yun wanted to use this kind of method to tell you he likes you?" Zhang Ling truly had the potential to become a reporter. However, since she did not have the guts to trigger Cao Shanshan directly, she just mumbled to herself.
Cao Shanshan blanked out for a moment after she heard that. True, that is indeed very possible.
"Hmm! I'll find an opportunity to let him know today, I will rather accept a pig than accept him. He should just give it up! What an idiot! An idiot whose IQ is lower than a pig!"
Zhang Ling's mouth twitched as she said nonchalantly, "Would you even expect him to be in class? Needless to say, even the teachers couldn't be bothered with him after he gave up on the college entrance exam. His brain probably went haywire, that's why he showed up for self-study session last night and started such a riot today. It would be a miracle if he dares to show up!"
…
The one who started it all, the man of the moment, the idiot who was more worthless than a pig in Cao Shanshan's eye, had just awoken from his slumber.
Ling Yun was woken up by his hunger.
Ling Yun could not help but shake his head and smile bitterly as he heard his stomach growling. He recalled that ever since he had forced himself into fasting period, he had hardly had a taste of normal food.
However, since he got banished to Earth while he was in the Tribulation Stage, he became a mortal. Even though his highest priority was to lose weight, he still had to fill his tummy and treat his organs well!
"I have to buy food first… Crap!" Ling Yun was shocked!
His wallet and meal card were in his coat, but he had already generously given his coat to Lin Menghan last night!
"If only there was a storage bag or a spatial magic instrument of some sort… That'd be a lot more convenient…" Ling Yun muttered to himself.
"Ugh, it's hard being a good person these days. The only time I actually did a good deed, I ended up starving myself…"
Ling Yun rubbed his empty belly and gritted his teeth in regret. He swore to himself never to be a good person again while he pondered about how he could fill his empty stomach.
"Why don't I borrow some from my little stepsister?" According to the information from his memory, he had a younger sister who was also in Grade 12 from Qingshui High. Her name was Ning Lingyu, and by her looks, it seemed like she was one of the three campus belles in school.
An image surfaced in his mind: A beauty with big brilliant eyes, tall and slim physique, with a ponytail tied up. Ling Yun could not help but shudder at the image.
Ning Lingyu. She was always disappointed in him because she had high expectations of him. In fact, her impression of him worsened as they progressed onto Grade 12. Even though they were in the same school, they only saw each other around every few months.
Or, even if they did see each other and Ling Yun tried to approach her, all he would get in return was an icy groan filled with deep disappointment. Following which, she would turn around and sprint away.
Ling Yun completely understood the mentality of these two siblings. He knew that Ning Lingyu was not looking down upon her brother. Instead, she wanted to use that method as motivation for her brother to man up and not be such a weakling.
As he recalled Ning Lingyu's eyes that were filled with disappointment but yet a glimmer of hope, Ling Yun shook his head and muttered to himself, "Forget it, I'll just look around, what if I can find a bit of money? All treasures are discovered this way!"
He searched high and low and dug through all the drawers and shelves. Lady Luck seemed to be on his side since he managed to find a hundred dollar bill in a book at his headboard!
This boy seemed to be good at hiding money. It was too bad he had the time to hide it but did not have the time to use it.
Alright, time to fill this tummy.
After he packed up everything, Ling Yun strolled out of the hostel leisurely with the hundred dollar bill in his hand and went straight to the school canteen. He could not be bothered by the students who were judging him and whispering among themselves on the way to school as long as they did not disturb him.
He knew for sure that the news of him beating up Wei Tiangan had spread like wildfire, but he could not be bothered about it. If people were not talking about the strong, it must have been because he was not strong enough!
However, Ling Yun still decided to keep an extremely low profile for only one reason. If it was not for his overly showy attitude and high profile in Cultivation World, he would not have suffered that terrible tragedy from Heaven!
As he recalled that horrible tragedy that endlessly haunted him until he was completely destroyed beyond repair, Ling Yun's facial muscles twitched violently. He lifted his head to look at the clear blue sky.
Low profile, mm, I must keep a low profile!
Money was really easily spent at that time, a simple breakfast that was just enough to fill Ling Yun's tummy had already cost him thirty dollars out of the hundred dollars that he originally had.
Of course, that was decided by the portion of the food that he chose. Even though the old Ling Yun had a weak body, he already had a huge appetite; the current Ling Yun was a fatty, who was stronger than a normal person. Naturally, his appetite would be even bigger.
"I want to be rich! Otherwise, I really can't keep up with my appetite. I don't want to waste my body away while I do my strength training!" This was a big question that suddenly popped into Ling Yun's mind as he was walking back to his hostel after buying his meal.
When it came to earning money, Ling Yun was truly not worried at all.
Even though he was still incapable of looking into bodies and utilizing the spiritual energy within him, he was still able to cure normal illnesses with his superb medical skills and familiarity with the human body's meridians and acupuncture points. This was as long as he had a few silver needles with him.
He would also be able to concoct medicine and even craft talismans when he reached the Qi Cultivation Stage. He was confident that it would be a breeze for him to earn money in this world.
After he was done with his meal, he went downstairs again. This time, however, he ran straight for the school field.
PE lessons were cancelled long ago since all the Grade 12 students were busy studying diligently for the college entrance examination that was merely two months away. However, there were still a few classes from Grade 10 and 11 that had PE classes at the school field.
Of course, every high school had their own student-athletes. It was only natural for them to be undergoing their crazy training under the guidance of their coaches under the hot sun right there and then.
Ling Yun's destination was here.
"Yo, if it isn't the centre of attention from our class. Hey fatty, I heard that a lot of people are ready to pick a fight with you after you stirred up that huge mess. Shouldn't you be looking for somewhere to hide? Why are you still here?"
The person who spoke was a student-athlete from Grade 12 Class 6. His name was Cheng Zhiye. He had a tall and skinny frame and was very good at the 3-kilometre race. Ever since he entered high school, the school had no problem extending their winning streak for the 3-kilometre race. He even broke the town's High School Sports Meet record last year. Apparently, Yan Jing Sports University had already made an exception and allowed his enrolment.
Even though he looked down on Ling Yun, he was still proud that he did not bully Ling Yun on a regular basis. This was because he felt that bullying a pig was no better than being one himself.
Cheng Zhiye's attitude towards Ling Yun was somewhat similar to Sha Guoxing's. They would usually just mock or tease him a little to brighten up their boring high school lives.
"I'm here to look for Mr. Ma, where is he?" Ling Yun asked the question directly while paying no attention to him.
"You're here for Mr. Ma? Am I hearing this correctly? Back then when he had PE lessons you would always hide the moment you saw him. Now you're taking the initiative to look for him? Did you catch a cold last night when you were half-naked and the high fever fried your brain?" Cheng Zhiye was shocked, he even put his hand to Ling Yun's forehead to check if he really had a fever.
Ling Yun furrowed his eyebrows slightly as he calmly swatted Cheng Zhiye's hand away and asked, "I'm here to borrow a sandbag."
"Borrowing a sandbag?" Cheng Zhiye was getting more confused. Did Ling Yun get addicted to the power he felt while he beat up his hostel mates last night, thus the urge to switch to boxing? However, he just rolled his eyes and chuckled, "Hey, why do you have to find Mr. Ma to get a sandbag? I'll get one for you right now!"
"Wang Li, come with me to the sports equipment room to get him a sandbag!"
This piqued Cheng Zhiye's interest and he wanted to see what Ling Yun was up to.
Around 9:30 am, right when the second lesson of the day was about to end, a loud exclamation came from the corridor downstairs, closely followed by various noises.
The Grade 12 students were on all the fourth floor and the Grade 11 students were on the third floor. The serenity of the Grade 12 classrooms was quickly stirred by the screams that came from downstairs.
"Gosh! Come and see this! That idiot lifted the entire sandbag up!", cried a female student with a high pitch.
This immediately caught the attention of all the students from Grade 12 Class 6 who were initially paying attention in class!
In the entirety of Qingshui High, apart from the disgrace of their class, Ling Yun, no one else in school was called an "idiot"!
"D*mn, are you kidding me? He's carrying the sandbag as he runs! I'm telling you guys, my brother did boxing in the past and that sandbag weighs at least 25kg!"
"I'm guessing he really doesn't want to live anymore. Apart from trying to rape our campus belle last night, he also beat up his hostel mates after he got back. Now he's skipping classes to run laps with a sandbag like a psycho?!"
Cao Shanshan from Grade 12 Class 6 had good hearing, not a single word escaped her ear. She immediately raised her eyebrows and widened her eyes in anger the moment she heard that!
Zhang Ling sneaked a peek at Cao Shanshan before she shifted her hopeful gaze towards the view outside the window. She really wanted to know what on earth was going on out there.
On the school field.
Cheng Zhiye was stunned by the scene before him, his jaw dropped so wide that one could probably fit an entire egg in there. He muttered to himself, "I'll be d*mned, you can't be serious, right? This guy doesn't make any sense…"
He was not the only one! All the student-athletes from different classes around him had to stop whatever they were doing as they stared at Ling Yun who was running his laps while carrying a sandbag in complete shock!
The entire school field was in shock! The soccer players stopped kicking, the stationary soccer ball was left sitting alone on the grass; the basketball players also stopped whatever they were doing. Everyone fixed their gaze on the fat guy who was carrying the sandbag as if it was a flag ceremony. Their gaze shifted along with his silhouette as he moved about slowly.
That silhouette had a heavy sandbag over his right shoulder which he stabilized with his right hand. He was not running at a fast pace, but every step he took was steady and firm. Step-by-step, he ran along the field according to some kind of rhythm.
The fats on Ling Yun's body trembled violently with every step he took, and his fats were burning off at an alarming rate. With eyes filled with determination, his faith was slowly increasing as well!
"A strong person, how does one truly become a strong person? Even if it is a genius, one still has to train insanely hard to find ways to make up for his weaknesses!"
"The moment I start running, only I will stop myself. Apart from that, whatever difficulties that come my way will not stop me!"
"Only then can I keep pushing my body's limits, only then can I quickly reach the peak of physique tempering!"
The mockery and judgmental looks from others, even the loud exclamations and awe, all of those meant nothing to Ling Yun. He only had one goal, and that was to become stronger.
However, it was really tiring. He barely made it to tens of meters before he was already completely drenched in sweat and gasping for air. His feet felt heavier with every step he took.
It would have been difficult enough for a fat person who weighed over 100kg to run laps without any additional weight on him. Naturally, it wouldn't be easy for Ling Yun, who was carrying an extra 25kg!
However, he was aware of his potential. This body had been cleansed and renewed by the immortal spiritual energy from Tribulation Stage. It no longer had any hidden illnesses, not to mention the huge amount of spiritual energy which he absorbed from the Shichiyou herb last night!
As for the Yang Heel Meridian that was nearly 70% healed, it was already circulating without much of a problem. Even if it was a normal human being, there had to be some kind of defect like that in the body, right?
Even though he was tired, it would not hinder him! His goal was to completely deplete the spiritual energy that he had absorbed from the Shichiyou herb last night through whatever methods he could think of!
Only then could he go back to where he found the Shichiyou herb tonight to continue utilizing his talent to absorb the spiritual energy emitted from the Shichiyou herb!
"If only I could continuously absorb the spiritual energy from all things between Heaven and Earth. It would then take me a month instead of two months to reach the peak of the Physique Tempering Stage!"
Unfortunately, this horrible place did not have much spiritual energy to spare.
Thus, he was left with the dumbest method, which was to go step-by-step through all the extreme physical training to break through the body's shackles and improve each aspect of his physical body.
The second lesson of the morning ended and the students had a 20 minutes break before the next lesson began.
The Grade 12 students were already extremely impatient. The moment the teacher announced that class was dismissed, they even forgot to let the teacher leave the classroom first out of respect. All of them flocked out of class immediately, scrambling to see what on earth was happening on the school field!
Grade 12 Class 6 had the most intense response out of all because they knew that the person running laps while carrying a sandbag on the school field was definitely their classmate, Ling Yun.
Chai Hanlin sat at the front of the class due to his short stature. With all the strength he could muster, he dashed out of class onto the corridor the moment class was dismissed!
"God! It's really Ling Yun!" Chai Hanlin was shell-shocked!
"My goodness, it really is Ling Yun! This guy must be crazy!" The classmates who followed closely were also exclaiming loudly.
"Oh my god! Did the sun rise from the west today? Am I just dreaming?" Even the girls were shocked!
"It's either I've turned crazy, or the world has gone crazy! Why would that pig perform such a shocking feat!"
Cao Shanshan was trying her best to maintain her composure as she wanted to settle things with Ling Yun. However, she had no choice since Ling Yun did not show up for class. Now that she had caught wind of that idiot acting all crazy carrying that sandbag, she, too, wanted to join her friends and go see how he was embarrassing himself. However, the moment she lifted her well-rounded butt cheeks off the chair and turned her tiny waist around, she plopped back down into her seat, looking disheartened.
"Shanshan, it's really that idiot, let's go have a look…" Zhang Ling looked around the entire class and noticed it was just the two of them left. She then encouraged her to go and take a look at what was going on outside.
"You can go if you want to go, I'm not going to watch that idiot embarrass himself!" Cao Shanshan was swayed as she really wanted to go see how Ling Yun was humiliating himself. She wanted to watch him slip and fall, but she still wanted to appear stubborn.
"Aren't you interested in what triggered Ling Yun to undergo such a tremendous change? Aren't you interested in seeing how long this idiot, who brought you so much suffering, can last?" Zhang Ling did not believe that Cao Shanshan could hold out for much longer.
"Alright my fine lady Miss Cao, take it as you're accompanying me!" Zhang Ling noticed that she had successfully convinced Cao Shanshan, thus, she quickly dragged her out of her seat towards the classroom door.
"Almost half a lap! That's 200 meters! And he's still running!" These words pierced through the air the moment both of them exited the classroom!
"That idiot is going to stop soon, look at his waist! Even though his speed remains unchanged, his waist can barely stay straight!", stated a student from Grade 12 Class 6 after some close observation.
By the time Cao Shanshan and Zhang Ling found a spot, they both saw a silhouette moving robotically and unsteadily. They were truly shocked!
Cao Shanshan felt her heart twitch violently!
With such a weak and overweight body, he still chose to run while carrying such a heavy sandbag. It had even been for quite a while already. What on earth could have triggered this idiot so much to make him undergo such a drastic change?!
A mere boy carrying a sandbag while running laps on the field caused a major uproar in the entire Qingshui High. There were those who mocked, those who laughed, and those who were watching for fun. They were all waiting to see when Ling Yun was going to slip and fall face flat on the ground.
There was only one person, that one person who stood quietly in the corridor, one could even say leaning on the corridor railing. Her gaze was fixed on the bulky shadow on the field who was still persevering even though he was completely exhausted. No matter how hard she tried to hold back, tears still streamed down her face.
She was a beautiful girl. Her beauty was completely out of this world! Unlike anything or anyone from the mortal world, she was dreamy and subtle! She stood around 1.7 meters in height, compared to the other girls along the corridor, she definitely stood out from the crowd. Needless to mention her slim and perfect figure, her delicate and beautiful features, along with her fair and smooth skin on her neck that was beyond seductive. In comparison to Cao Shanshan's beauty that was like a flashy peony, hers was like a secluded orchid in the deep mountains, untainted by the world.
With an attitude made in heaven and a unique vibe, she was the epitome of beauty in the human world.
Wearing a simple red ribbon around her ponytail, her ravishing features such as her crystal clear skin, slender neck and exquisite jawline were overshadowed, due to her round and brilliant eyes that were blurred by her tears. Anyone would take pity the moment they saw her.
Ning Lingyu was from Grade 12 Class 1, and she was probably the first to dash out of her class. The moment she saw the fatty who was running laps on the school field while carrying a sandbag as if he was insane, her tears came streaming out immediately!
"Ling Yun, my brother! I knew you wouldn't let me down! I knew you could do it… Mom was right, you wouldn't let us down, you really didn't let us down! Brother!"
