Chapter 55: Lu Xun Bullies Again! Another Breakthrough

He got stronger again.

When Lu Xun was excessively praising He Xiao, Lin Yan hid behind the school gate, so scared he didn't dare to peek.

Now he is utterly afraid of Lu Xun.

He Xiao specially brought him here today, intending to wait for Lu Xun to come back so they could face off on the fighting stage.

Who would have thought Lu Xun wouldn't observe martial virtue, directly starting a fight off-campus and beating He Xiao so terribly.

He Xiao's face, which was barely presentable, was beaten beyond recognition.

I'd guess even if he used the Return My Pretty Pretty Fist, he still couldn't strike back.

"Lu Xun, you wait, today's grudge... pfft..."

"Fellow student, please don't fight anymore, otherwise we'll have to take coercive measures..."

On the other side, He Xiao saw the school's security guards and teachers arrive, preparing to say harsh words to salvage some face.

As it turned out, Lu Xun, right in front of the security guards and teachers, kicked him flying away with one kick.

He Xiao's whole body was flipped headfirst into the pond, legs pointing skyward, leaving passing students staring agape.

"Too brutal."

Lin Yan shuddered in fear.

At that moment, he realized his foot was still outside the school gate, so he hurriedly pulled it back.

Afraid of being discovered by Lu Xun if he lingered, Lu Xun also gave him a strike.

"Extra extra, Lu Xun violently beats He Xiao..."

"Pfft, He Xiao is also too miserable, his face turned into a pig's head."

"Look at that picture behind, it turned directly into a compass."

Not long after, various pictures were uploaded onto the campus network.

It attracted quite a crowd of onlookers.

Today being a weekend, there were more students online.

Some students, after finishing their daily cultivation, also habitually log onto the forum to avoid missing any important news.

"It's just beating someone up—what punishment, come at me, don't make things difficult for my good student."

At the Office of School Affairs, Fei Tai'a appeared in a carefree, irresponsible manner.

Well, Lu Xun was brought here because he beat someone.

He didn't know where he got the news, but he came running to protect Lu Xun.

Fortunately, Lu Xun fought off-campus, and with Fei Tai'a's staunch defense, he received no punishment—just a talk from the school leaders.

The implication was that students should live harmoniously and not bully others.

"I'm a freshman, he's a sophomore—how could I have bullied him? This can only be blamed on his own lack of ambition."

Lu Xun spoke with righteous confidence, unaware of any wrongdoing and unprepared to change.

Thus the school leaders scored Lu Xun's answer 98.4 out of 100, not giving a perfect score because they felt he lacked 1.6.

"He Xiao, are you even a man? If you're a man, come up on the fighting stage with me."

"He Xiao, you're such a coward—does your mother know?"

"He Xiao, is what's in your pants cotton or your courage?"

"He Xiao,..."

Over the next few days, a scene appeared on campus that opened many students' eyes.

Lu Xun would go block He Xiao whenever he had nothing to do; as soon as He Xiao appeared, Lu Xun would go up and shout for him to get on the fighting stage.

If Lu Xun were a year ahead of A Xiao, or even the same year, it wouldn't matter.

The problem is that Lu Xun is a freshman while He Xiao is a sophomore.

Faced with Lu Xun's challenge, He Xiao dared not accept; Lu Xun's words were like knives, each sentence stabbing at his heart.

That fight a few days earlier had already spread throughout the school.

He Xiao's dignity had already suffered a huge blow.

Now, being occasionally humiliated like this by Lu Xun, He Xiao felt his whole life had lost its color.

"Damn it!"

"I'll kill you!"

"Bang bang bang~"

In the cultivation room, He Xiao was seething with anger.

Angry, anxious, and helpless.

Lu Xun was like a ghost appearing and disappearing; as soon as he went out, it wouldn't be long before he could intercept him.

Then Lu Xun would propose a challenge.

Then he wouldn't dare to accept.

Then he would be mocked publicly.

After that, he lost all face, and didn't even have the mood to cultivate.

Only heaven knows how he's gotten through these days!

He also didn't dare to leave the school.

Because whenever he appeared at the school gate, Lu Xun's figure would always show up not far away.

This made He Xiao feel that if he dared to leave the school, Lu Xun would surely rush out and give him a thorough beating.

He Xiao was desperate.

"5555, Father, get revenge for me!"

One week later, He Xiao couldn't stand it any longer; on a weekend, he called his father to come to the school gate to pick him up.

He wanted to go home; he had to go home.

He didn't want to stay at school.

No matter what, he didn't want to be at school.

If this continued with Lu Xun tormenting him, he would go crazy.

As soon as he saw his own father, He Xiao rushed over and burst into tears.

"Good grief, He Xiao is really miserable, being bullied to tears."

"Although... I can't help but want to laugh."

"What grudge, what grudge, to be tormented by Lu Xun like this?"

"Lu Xun is really bullying people too much!"

"There must be a story behind this; otherwise, why would Lu Xun only bully him?"

"That's exactly right!"

This scene was captured by a busybody and sparked heated discussion at Beidou University.

The onlooking students said this melon was interesting.

They had never seen such a scene—a sophomore senior who had opened the Heaven Earth Meridian and was a fourth-layer Qi Sea genius.

Unexpectedly, he was reduced to tears by a freshman, forced to cry and call his dad to come pick him up.

Damn.

Many students said it was satisfying and wanted more.

"Damn it, I'll never provoke him again."

Lin Yan made up his mind.

From then on, upon seeing Lu Xun, he would retreat thirty meters before speaking.

He Xiao had been completely broken by Lu Xun; if Lu Xun wanted to deal with him, the consequences were unimaginable.

"Hahaha, Brother Xun, you're really talented; if I ever make enemies, you must definitely help me deal with them."

Li Bu Fan was overjoyed.

"Lu Xun, I heard you bullied He Xiao to tears?"

"Yeah."

"Oh, then you'd better be careful; the He family are very petty."

Chu Youqing also heard about this; without asking the reason, she just told Lu Xun to be careful.

Lu Xun didn't tell her about the million bounty.

So she wouldn't worry.

After He Xiao went home, he took a long leave from school; it seemed he wasn't planning to return.

Lu Xun lost a source of amusement.

Lu Xun basically hasn't left campus lately, because Luo Da Sheng told him the million bounty had risen to two million and had already been claimed.

Exactly who took it is unknown.

This bounty is somewhat special; the claimant might not be just one person.

"It must be the He family, no doubt."

The change in the bounty amount convinced Lu Xun.

This bounty is definitely the He family's doing.

He Xiao had been messed up so badly by him, so the He family raised the bounty to let He Xiao vent his anger.

The He family indeed has money; they can produce two million units of Dark Energy just like that.

In this situation, Lu Xun became more cautious.

【Murong Wan broke through to the third layer of Qi Sea; you gain twenty times her harvest.】

A few days later, the twentyfold return came again.

Murong Wan's cultivation speed was indeed astonishing; the Heaven-tier Pill given by Bai Ling gave her an extra boost, and with less than a month before the official start of school, she broke through another layer.

Third layer of Qi Sea!

Lu Xun's strength began to surge again.

From the eighth layer of Qi Sea he surged to the ninth layer, then to the tenth layer, and then all the way to the peak of the tenth layer of Qi Sea.

After reaching the peak of the tenth layer of Qi Sea, Lu Xun felt that the internal heat flow was still immense.

"He should be able to enter the Third Realm, right?"

Just as Lu Xun thought he could directly charge into the Third Realm, the internal heat flow continued to widen his Qi Sea.

Then Lu Xun rose to the eleventh layer of Qi Sea.

"What a guy."

Lu Xun didn't expect Qi Sea to have an eleventh layer.

The gap between the third layer and the ninth, tenth, and eleventh layers of Qi Sea is too great; even with the twentyfold return, Lu Xun only managed to stay at the eleventh layer of Qi Sea.

"Looking at it this way, it's like body refining... Murong Wan's breakthrough in the Qi Sea Realm will probably keep pushing me upward."

Lu Xun thought.

The second realm of martial arts is the Qi Sea Realm; the third realm is the Aperture Opening Realm.

Reaching the Aperture Opening Realm requires opening the body's 108 secret apertures to awaken martial divine abilities.

This realm is crucial.

Murong Wan's return in the Qi Sea Realm mainly targets the Qi Sea; not being able to open the secret apertures is therefore normal.

Probably only when she breaks through the Third Realm will Lu Xun formally break through the Third Realm, and then charge forward all the way.

Such a return model, in Lu Xun's view, is nothing special; on the contrary, it would be better.

Because every step of his foundation is stronger than others' by an unknown multiple.

Not to mention anything else, his Qi Sea is huge, huge, and his true qi quality is excessively high, which will be very friendly for his later growth.

If he were to directly break through the Third Realm, in Lu Xun's view it would actually be worse than the current situation.

The gap between the Second Realm and the Third Realm is too great; even if the Second Realm's return were twentyfold, its actual improvement to the Third Realm would be limited.

It would be better to solidify the foundation even more.

Moreover, if Lu Xun could continue pushing upward in the Qi Sea Realm, even without breaking through the Third Realm, he could surpass a major realm and defeat Third Realm cultivators!

【Chu Youqing breaks through Qi Gathering second layer, you obtain twenty times Chu Youqing's gain.】

Another two days passed.

Chu Youqing also broke through.

With the twentyfold return, Lu Xun leapt from Qi Gathering sixth layer straight to Qi Gathering tenth layer.

He was only one step away from the Third Realm.
