My Mysterious Left Hand

Upon hearing this, Chen San frowned, his face showing impatience: "Who is Young Master He? He possesses the strength of ten thousand jin at the Body Tempering Realm, and is destined to reach even higher realms and become a powerful figure. The fact that he is willing to give you a chance to follow him is a fortune you could never attain in eight lifetimes."

Li Chen's eyes turned cold: "So, you've come to disturb my cultivation just for this kind of thing?"

"Brother Li Chen, times have changed. Following the strong brings endless benefits."

Hu Zhongming assumed that Li Chen was unaware of the seriousness of the matter, so he patiently explained, "As far as I know, there are currently no more than ten people in the country who can achieve the strength of ten thousand jin in the Body Tempering Realm."

"You've eaten rare and precious herbs that enhance strength in the Wilderness World, haven't you? A mid-stage Body Tempering Realm cultivator only has a strength of a thousand jin, and a perfected one has a strength of three thousand jin at most. Compared to Young Master He, that's like comparing heaven and earth."

Chen San crossed his arms and slightly raised his chin: "Besides, you seem to be an orphan, right? Young Master He saw that you came from a humble background but had some luck, which is why he took a liking to you. Come with me obediently and perform well. If Young Master He is satisfied, you will receive your due."

"Are you done talking? If you are, hurry up and leave." Li Chen was already getting impatient.

"What do you mean?"

Chen San frowned and said in a deep voice, "Young Master He summoned you. Do you dare refuse?"

Li Chen's face turned cold: "Get out!"

Hu Zhongming's expression changed slightly: "Brother Li Chen..."

"You get out too." Li Chen looked at this self-righteous guy with cold eyes.

He was cultivating well, and his inspiration was flowing freely, when suddenly these two interrupted his cultivation.

If he weren't so good-tempered, he would have attacked directly.

"You..." Hu Zhongming's face turned ashen. He believed he was doing this for Li Chen's own good.

But this guy didn't appreciate it at all and even scolded me!

"It seems some people think they can look down on all the strong people in the world just because they have some strength."

Chen San couldn't help but clench his fist: "I've reached the peak of Body Tempering, possessing a strength of five thousand jin. Compared to Young Master He, I'm still far behind, but I'm definitely much stronger than you. I'll show you the difference..."

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly with a "snap," his head tilted to the side, and he lost his balance, stumbling backward toward the courtyard.

At the same time, the huge shock made his head buzz and he almost fainted.

"What..." Hu Zhongming's pupils shrank, and he was so frightened that he quickly retreated.

Because he noticed that Chen San's right cheek was swollen.

Li Chen strode towards Chen San: "The gap?"

Chen San, who had stopped in his tracks, glared at Li Chen with wide eyes: "You attacked me from behind..."

"I'll launch a sneak attack." As he spoke, Li Chen suddenly flung his hand away.

With another "smack," Chen San screamed and staggered backward, his other cheek swelling up as well.

"This is impossible!" Chen San roared, about to throw a punch.

"Impossible?" Li Chen slapped him again.

The moment the words were spoken, a perfectly synchronized slap rang out.

Chen San couldn't see how Li Chen made his move at all, but that didn't stop him from being furious: "You're courting death..."

"I'm asking for death!" Li Chen suddenly slammed his fist down again.

Chen San screamed again as he staggered backward, his face nearly smashed to pieces.

Hu Zhongming, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded.

As an observer, he could see clearly that it was indeed Li Chen hitting Chen San, and Chen San had no chance to fight back.

In fact, in his field of vision, Li Chen's speed was so fast that it was blurry and unclear, and his thinking and reaction speed could not keep up.

"Aaaaaah!!" Chen San roared, clenching his fist and charging forward.

However, Li Chen suddenly kicked out, as fast as lightning.

"Bang!"

Chen San didn't even see Li Chen's movements clearly before he felt a heavy blow to his abdomen. He screamed and flew backward for twenty or thirty meters, then slid for another ten meters before falling to the side of the road and being unable to get up.

"This...this..."

Hu Zhongming was stunned, staggering backward as he stared at Li Chen in shock: "Aren't you...aren't you supposed to have the strength of a thousand jin?"

It's only been a little over a day.

"There is no obligation to explain."

Li Chen glanced at this self-righteous fellow and said calmly, "Don't judge me with your narrow-minded thinking. This is your last chance..."

"Don't misunderstand, I really didn't mean any harm... I'll leave now."

Hu Zhongming dared not say anything more and quickly ran over to help Chen San up.

Chen San's face turned pale, and he felt as if his intestines had been kicked through. He could only stand up with the help of Hu Zhongming.

"Take me to the medical department quickly... Hurry, my intestines might be ruptured..."

He was scared and didn't dare to say anything harsh, fearing that Li Chen would chase after him and beat him up.

Because at this point he realized that Li Chen was definitely not just someone with immense strength, as Hu Zhongming had described.

To defeat oneself so easily, the opponent must possess at least immense strength, perhaps even more.

What he found most unbelievable was that during their brief contact, he had already sensed that the other party was indeed only at the mid-stage of Body Tempering.

This made his head spin, realizing that he might have gotten into trouble with Young Master He, because his tone when he spoke to him earlier was anything but polite.

Moreover... judging from the fact that the other party was covered in sweat, the two of them must have disturbed the other party's cultivation.

"That Hu Zhongming... damn it, he's caused so much harm!"

Although he was furious with Hu Zhongming, he didn't dare to get angry now, because he still needed the other party to take him to the medical department, otherwise it would be troublesome if his hand couldn't be reattached.

……

"baffling!"

Li Chen was also furious. These two lunatics actually made him follow a stranger.

Moreover, he was a piece of trash who only reached the peak of the Body Tempering Realm after half a year of cultivation.

What kind of taste do you have?

He closed the door and stopped cultivating. Instead, he prepared to cook, as he was already very hungry.

"Although I'm still only in the mid-stage of the Body Tempering Realm, my strength should already be over 13,000 jin, right?"

Since there are no objects heavy enough for him to test his strength now, he can only make a rough estimate.

While cooking, he fixed the door lock and also incorporated the "sturdiness attribute" that he no longer needed into his house.

After all one hundred-plus sturdiness attributes were incorporated, the house appeared unchanged on the surface, yet it was frighteningly sturdy.

With Li Chen's current strength, the wall would have crumbled like a cookie with just a gentle squeeze.

But now, even he can no longer easily break through the wall.

Even the doors and windows have become extremely sturdy, to the point that ordinary people absolutely cannot damage them.

"Not bad." Li Chen was very satisfied with this; his left hand was practically cheating.

Soon, the food was ready, and he immediately began to eat heartily to make up for the energy consumed during his cultivation.

The meat of a wild beast, infused with nutrients and the aroma of food, tasted absolutely amazing after being seasoned with salt and other condiments. Even he couldn't stop praising it.

If it weren't for the limited capacity of his stomach, he would have loved to keep eating forever.

After eating, he continued his practice, sweating profusely, unwilling to waste any more time.

He had a premonition that the Xuanming Society might come after him again soon, since he had killed one of their hall masters and that force was unlikely to let it go.

I just don't know if the other party knows about my existence, or if the leader of the Changming branch has reported it to his superiors.

In addition, He Jinlong, the man Chen San follows, may also come to avenge his subordinates, so I must not slack off.

However, to Li Chen's surprise, He Jinlong did not come to his door all afternoon.

Finally, that night, he successfully entered the late stage of the Body Tempering Realm, and his strength had reached at least 20,000 jin.

According to what Hu Zhongming said, he is now likely the only genius on Earth who has reached 20,000 jin in the Body Tempering Realm.

But Li Chen was very dissatisfied, because he was speechless to discover that the Xuanming True Art was once again unable to shake his physical body.

Of course, it's not completely unshakeable, but the cultivation speed suddenly drops sharply.

In addition, his original goal was the legendary theoretical limit of the Body Tempering Realm that Hu Zhongming had mentioned, which is a force of 100,000 jin.

I still have a long way to go.

"Um?"

Just after finishing dinner and preparing to continue his cultivation, Li Chen suddenly felt his eyelids twitching.

At that moment, he suddenly had a strange intuition that someone was going to hurt him, and that he would be unable to resist.

"Is it because of the bit of divinity I gained before that's taking effect?"

Li Chen was filled with surprise and doubt: 'I thought divinity would only increase my potential, but I didn't expect it to also have such a powerful crisis warning ability.'

But such a startling sense of crisis is unlikely to have come from He Jinlong.

Because I am probably stronger than him now.

"Could it be the Xuanming Society? They likely possess the power of an evil god; I have no chance against them!"

Thinking of this, Li Chen got up without hesitation and put all the pots, pans, and even oil and salt in the house into the cave fossil.

He even put away his clothes, pants, and cell phone.

Then he locked the door and strode towards the world passage in the back mountain.
