Chapter 50 Challenge
When in doubt, practice standing meditation.
The reason why one cannot control their own power is that they are unfamiliar with the power and unfamiliar with themselves.
For Lu Lin, muscle training was a completely new level.
Just because you've defeated someone at the Meat Training level doesn't mean you should underestimate this level.
At the very least, Lu Lin at the Skin Refining level definitely cannot defeat Lu Lin at the Meat Refining level.
They could only be defeated because they were too weak.
At first, a jumble of thoughts kept popping into Lu Lin's mind.
However, as Lu Lin practiced the stance training for longer, his mood gradually calmed down.
"Lu Lin!"
With a bang, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Lu Lin was awakened by Chen Hongzhi's shout.
Chen Hongming, who followed closely behind, saw Lu Lin cultivating and slapped Chen Hongzhi on the back of the head.
"I told you to be quiet, but you insist on making a racket and disturbing Lu Lin's practice. What are you going to do then?"
"What's the big deal? Lu Lin is just cultivating normally, it's not like he broke through to the Body Refinement stage. Second brother, has your strength increased? Why did you hit me so hard?"
Chen Hongzhi covered the back of his head, looking utterly dejected.
"It's nothing, it's just routine training, there's no question of disturbing you."
Lu Lin smiled, changed to a new wooden tub, and began to take a bath.
"It's so hot, I need to take a shower too."
Chen Hongzhi was the kind of person who had to join in any excitement. He picked up the bucket and said, "Hey, why is the handle of this bucket broken?"
"It's probably because it's been a long time. I'm done washing, you can use mine."
After Chen Hongzhi finished washing up, he pulled Chen Hongming to wash up as well.
In the sweltering summer heat, a cool shower is indeed very refreshing.
"Lu Lin, let's go have a big meal later. The food in the academy's cafeteria is definitely not good. We won't be able to go out again for another ten days."
Lu Lin was also quite tempted. He wasn't a big eater, but when he thought about the quality of the cafeteria food when he was in school in his previous life, he couldn't help but nod.
The three of them had a big meal, which cost twenty taels of silver.
This is a number that Lu Lin could never have imagined before.
But now, we have plenty of money.
Before leaving the city, Lu Lin bought two large bags of snacks, a new long gown for Xu Ruian, and a set of jewelry for Madam Xu. The cost wasn't too high; it was mainly a token of his appreciation.
Sure enough, when Lu Lin presented the gifts to Xu Ruian and his wife, although they said that Lu Lin was not frugal and was wasting money, their smiles grew even wider.
Shi Tou fell asleep after eating, and Lu Lin carried him back to the dormitory.
With nothing else to do, I might as well study the ancient forging method.
Returning to the courtyard today, the main purpose was to retrieve the short sword and the secret manual; cultivation was merely something Lu Lin did as a side effect, sensing that the time was right.
"You wretch, you can't be submerged in water, burned, or even bled; you only reveal your true colors through beatings and whippings!"
If Lu Lin had known he would need this method earlier, he could have learned weapon techniques sooner.
However, Lu Lin was stunned after saying this.
This refers to the ancient sword-forging method, but isn't it also about myself?
Why not just cultivate properly? Why insist on building an invincible shield? The more you get beaten, the faster you improve.
Lu Lin chuckled.
Just as he was about to make his move, he heard footsteps approaching rapidly, followed by a loud knocking on the door.
dong dong dong.
Lu Lin's expression changed.
The stone is sleeping; wouldn't this wake it up?
He hurriedly went to open the door, thinking it was Chen Hongzhi, the escaped guy, but it turned out to be a strange student.
"Who are you……"
"Come out here, this room is for Shang Sanjiang."
The newcomer was seven feet five inches tall, with a fierce face, and was carrying an axe.
Lu Lin looked closely and saw that the axe had already been sharpened.
"Go outside and tell them!"
Lu Lin pushed the man out. The man tried to resist, but no matter how hard he pushed, he kept being pushed back.
Lu Lin casually closed the door, smiled at the person, and said, "Excuse me, my brother is sleeping. Let's keep our voices down."
"Shut up, what business is it of mine if your brother sleeps..."
"Snapped!"
Seeing that the man didn't understand human speech, Lu Lin slapped him across the face and said in a deep voice, "I'm telling you to keep your voice down, don't you understand?"
The man fell to the ground, covering his face, partly from pain, but even more so from fear.
He didn't even see Lu Lin slap him.
How fast must it be to be so fast that you can't even see the movement when it's released?
Seeing that the other party remained silent, Lu Lin nodded.
Some people are like that. If you talk to them nicely, they'll act like they're deaf, unable to understand or see. But if you slap them and hurt them, they'll become as obedient as a quail.
"Okay, what did you say you wanted to talk to me about?"
The other party remained silent.
But under Lu Lin's intense gaze, the man still took two steps forward, his face full of respect, and bowed deeply to Lu Lin, saying, "I'm sorry, I've got the wrong person. I'll leave now."
After saying that, he turned and left without the slightest hesitation.
Lu Lin pursed his lips and was just about to go back to his room when he heard footsteps outside.
Seven or eight students walked in, surrounding one person.
"Huh, someone's here?"
The young man at the front paused for a moment, then said to the person next to him, "Go, make him leave. From now on, this is our Class 15's territory."
"Okay, Song-ge."
A lackey approached Lu Lin, his expression completely devoid of its previous respect. He pointed at Lu Lin's eyes and said, "You, get out, understand?"
Lu Lin sighed.
Why?
Why is it so difficult for him to just quietly spend his first night at the academy with Shi Tou?
There are seven or eight people; the screams will definitely be loud later.
What if I wake the stone from its sleep?
Lu Lin thought for a moment and came up with a solution: to settle the fight outside the courtyard.
"Are you stupid?"
The lackeys were shouting.
Lu Lin reached out and pushed the finger that was pointing at him. The man obediently withdrew his finger, bent his arm back, and took a few steps backward, though his face was a little red.
"Brother Song, this is a master..."
Before the lackey could finish his warning, he had already arrived in front of Brother Song.
"Hmph, kid, you're even more arrogant than me, Li Wansong... Hey, hey, hey, slow down, damn it, how come you're so strong?"
Li Wansong reached out to block the retreating lackey.
But that force pushed him backward.
The other men quickly came to help.
Even seven or eight people combined were no match for Lu Lin.
As soon as Lu Lin left the courtyard, everyone couldn't help but take a step forward, almost falling over in front of him.
"My brother is sleeping, so please keep your voices down when you call him later."
"ah?!"
Before Li Wansong and the others could react, Lu Lin threw a punch.
Bang bang bang.
Li Wansong and his men didn't even have time to fight back before they fell to the ground one by one, like dominoes being toppled.
"Ouch."
"Oh my god."
"It hurts so much!"
A heart-wrenching scream rang out. Lu Lin raised his index finger to his lips and said, "Shh—"
