Bronze Association.
The heavy rain from yesterday had rejuvenated Da Peng City entirely.
The morning sunlight was exceptionally dazzling today, warmly shining on people, and at this moment on the training ground, countless clouds of dust were scattering and soaring under the sunlight.
Fang Tianjian suddenly moved forward, his Double Ring Fist reappearing.
Pei Jinye raised his arm to block, and with a scorpion tail swing of his foot, he harshly kicked Fang Tianjian’s shoulder. However, he himself took a punch to his back, and both men stepped back.
“Interesting, every time the angle you find is more tricky than I imagined,” Fang Tianjian flicked off the imprint of the shoe sole on his shoulder.
Pei Jinye also moved his recently struck back, unconcernedly saying, “You’re no different.”
Fang Tianjian pulled the corner of his mouth, disregarding the faint pain in his arm to prevent showing his weakness.
“What is this… when did you guys get so close?” Tang Huoyang suddenly froze when he saw this.
Two people who should have been “love rivals” were now able to coexist peacefully and even chat and laugh together, making Tang Huoyang marvel at their camaraderie.
Upon Tang Huoyang’s arrival, Fang Tianjian withdrew his gaze with a poker face, still showing his contempt towards him. He then nodded towards Pei Jinye, signaling acknowledgement with a “I’ll be going first.”
Pei Jinye nodded in response.
As Fang Tianjian left, he noticed the blue and white lunchbox on the steps again, his eyelids twitching, but pretending not to see it, he picked up his jacket and quickly walked away.
After he left, Tang Huoyang approached Pei Jinye, full of surprise, “That doesn’t make sense.”
Pei Jinye glanced over, “Do we have to fight to the death for it to make sense to you? What kind of outdated, melodramatic thinking is that?”
Tang Huoyang shook his head with a chuckle, “Ha ha, that’s not what I mean. It’s just that I didn’t expect such a situation; it’s kind of interesting. But has he never said anything to you?”
“Said what?” Pei Jinye looked puzzled.
Tang Huoyang smiled, “Hey, it’s nothing, maybe I’m overthinking it. Just that Sister Xiao Yong’s family member seems to be moving up, and recently a lot of people are trying to cozy up to her family. It doesn’t seem like the Fang Family would… maybe I’m overthinking it.”
Tang Huoyang laughed it off without continuing.
Pei Jinye didn’t pay much attention to these matters.
As of now, Fang Tianjian hadn’t shown any malice towards him.
On the contrary, when they sparred, the moves were less scholarly like Tang Huoyang’s, and with fewer reservations. Pei Jinye felt like he could gain many new insights when he moved into action.
So, if Tang Huoyang claimed that Fang Tianjian was a person with a lot of scheming and had a rather dark side, this argument Pei Jinye would actually agree with, as nearly half of that kid’s moves were aimed below the belt.
Half an hour later.
“Damn it, you’re getting stronger and stronger. Even with my defense on, it still hurts. This really wounds my pride!”
Tang Huoyang grimaced in pain as he rubbed the sore spot on his shoulder, groaning loudly.
“You’re giving up after just half an hour?” Pei Jinye laughed, “Have you been slacking off lately? Did you break through the ‘Drawing Blood Art’?”
“Almost there.”
Tang Huoyang changed the subject, “Oh, have you seen the news? Da Peng City officially imported Blood-red Crap from the neighboring city.”
“What’s that?”
“Heh heh, it’s even more nutritious than Black Blood Beast Meat, but it is the neighboring city’s specialty that’s not normally provided to outsiders. Teacher Chang has a good relationship with them, so he was invited by the city government. Now the two cities have started trading; I don’t know if our guild will be able to get the first batch.”
Tang Huoyang’s face showed longing.
“Does it really have good blood-nourishing effects?” Pei Jinye was surprised.
Tang Huoyang nodded, “One Blood-red Carp is valued more highly than Black Blood Beast Meat. Sister Xiao Yong had it once before, and she said it could almost double the effect of Black Blood Beast Meat.”
Pei Jinye became curious, his heart warming to the idea.
Now that he had eaten almost all of his Black Blood Beast Meat, and the effects were no longer satisfying. If he really could get some Blood-red Carp…
Shaking his head, Pei Jinye set down his water cup and continued to pound the iron-wood post.
After Exfoliating, he felt that his control over his strength had clearly improved from before.
Moreover, the practice of “Twelve Lotuses” had greatly refined his control of Vitality. Details that he had previously overlooked seemed to magnify, allowing for targeted training.
Three miles away from the Bronze Association, on the commercial street.
Wei Xia sat in the car and saw Lan Ranran shopping with friends, “Stop the car.”
The sedan halted.
Wei Xia squinted at Lan Ranran, watching her every move, and noticed that she suddenly winced and held her waist in pain.
The previously lecherous gaze of Wei Xia suddenly changed as he heavily slapped the car seat in frustration.
“That bitch!”
Under what circumstances would a woman wince and hold her waist in pain?
Wei Xia’s mind had already concocted multiple scenarios.
A flash of fury in his eyes, he felt an acidic feeling bubbling up inside.
He hadn’t had his chance, yet that guy apparently did last night!
“Damn it!”
He had had his eyes on Lan Lan for some time, thinking that if he could conquer this good-looking girl, Wei Xia felt a burning desire.
Unfortunately, someone else beat him to it!
A friend at last night’s bar gathering knew what he wanted and had given him a potion.
Originally, he just needed to be tough and direct to succeed.
But then came along that damn guy who spoiled his plan!
Right then, Wei Xia received a phone call, “Speak.”
“Boss Wei, I’ve found out. The guy’s name is Pei Jinye, he just joined the Inhouse last week, is a subordinate of Li Xiaoyin, supposedly Psychic Class, still in the Power Practicing Realm, but his family has been farmers for three generations, has no foundation at all… Oh right, Boss Wei, Teacher Chang asked me to remind you to come to the guild to pick up the Blood-red Carp, the first batch has arrived.”
