Bang!

"Wha…."

Lin Xiao was stunned. Just as he was preparing to run away, he clearly saw a light flashed from above and landed on his forehead. Pain immediately permeate his body as he screamed loudly.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

He felt as if his entire body was ruptured to pieces. His bones were crushed, his flesh were torn, and his organs were squeezed. It was so painful. And the most painful of all was his brain because he felt as if there was huge pressure in his head.

At this moment, Lin Xiao was cursing out loudly internally. He wished that the pain could disappear.

If I'll be alive from here, I'll bring my brother away from the village.

If I can stay alive, I'll roast those villagers who dared to mock me.

If I'm still alive…. I'll grow even more stronger and no longer be so greedy and enter an unknown place like this.

If I didn't die….

Countless promises were made as Lin Xiao tried to bear with the pain. He felt as if he was already dying, yet he knew that he still could feel the pain in his body. Everything felt so painful that he wished it could end soon.

Thud!

Lin Xiao didn't know how much time had passed.

He found himself lying on the ground. His entire body was covered in sweat and dark liquid that smelled so horribly. Even sewage didn't smell that bad. At this very moment, his eyes opened as he started to regain his consciousness.

He couldn't care about his smell anymore.

All he wanted to know was whether he was still alive or not…

"Uhhh…. I will never try to get Emperor's Inheritance again in the future," Lin Xiao groaned. "It's so painful…"

The pain made him felt as if it would be better for him to die and disappear rather than continue living. It was so painful!

"Hmm?"

As he inspected his own body, Lin Xiao was surprised to see that there was nothing wrong with his bones, flesh, or even internal organs. There was no damage at all, which was confusing considering how painful it was just now.

Not only that, he had advanced to Body Training Rank 7!

If people knew he breakthrough three ranks just within a year, they would be green in envy.

As Lin Xiao tried to circulate his Qi, he was stunned.

"That… the circulation is smoother and easier than before," Lin Xiao said in excitement. He knew that his circulation has never been this smooth and fast before.

His parents had taught him about human's body and about the training that they had ever since they were young. Those with high talent would be able to absorb Qi faster and contained it inside their body perfectly. On the other hand, those with low talent wouldn't be able to do that and had to train for much longer time.

There was no clear distinction of talent in this village, so Lin Xiao had never known about his talent.

He was sure that he was pretty good, though. After all, he still managed to reach Body Training Rank 6 despite being only 15 years old. While the process might be quite arduous, he knew that it was what built his foundation.

And now…

"My talent had increased! Hahahahhahaaa!"

Weird laughter filled the room as Lin Xiao happily jumped around. He never knew that human's talent could change. After all, they were born with that body and should have not experience any change even though they trained bitterly.

But now, he just realized that talent could change.

His talent just got better!

Squash!

Feeling the weird sensation, Lin Xiao looked down and noticed that he was completely covered in jelly like black liquid. His face fell as he just realized how bad the smell was. It was even worse than rotten sewage.

"STINK! YOU STINK LIN XIAO!"

Yelling to himself, Lin Xiao rushed out of the hall. He wanted to enter the water and washed his body thoroughly. It smelled so bad, ah! He couldn't withstand the smell anymore.

No matter how happy he was, he could not accept himself staying in that dirty appearance any longer.

Splash!

As soon as Lin Xiao passed the door, he entered the water once more. He quickly took off his robe and squeezed it to make the dark liquid all came out. At the same time, he thoroughly rubbed his body to wipe the dark liquid.

The small fishes around him were all scared shitless.

Some faint on the way.

Some tried to swim as far away as possible.

The dark liquid was poisonous to them, ah!

Lin Xiao was not paying attention to the fishes. If only he did, he would see that he would be able to fish more efficiently if he used this. All the fish nearby fainted on the spot!
