Chapter 15: Stone Breaks Ice

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The atmosphere in the training field suddenly became tense.

Li Hao, whose clothes were stained with blood, held a Snow Tusk Spear in his hand, and his eyes were bloodthirsty.

‘I’m going to double today’s humiliation and return it to that trash!’

“Senior Brother, didn’t you agree that we’d fight in close combat? Ah, you didn’t keep your word!”

Li Ran sighed. ‘I didn’t want to bully you too much, but you insisted on using your Soul Ring!’

With that, he activated his Soul Ring in a familiar manner, and the silent stone began to move. If it was not controlled by him, it would have broken out of his body long ago.

“Cut the crap. Who knows what method you used to change the strength of your physical body…”

Li Hao no longer believed the words of the young man opposite him. He had suffered a loss and if he continued to fight with Li Ran, he would be a fool!

“Alright.”

In the next second, an ordinary stone appeared in Li Ran’s hand, and he held it in his hand.

The stone was dim, and it did not look as imposing as the Snow Tusk Spear. No one would doubt that it was a stone picked up from the outside.

“Junior Brother, do you want to change your weapon? Otherwise, people will say that I’m bullying you.”

Li Hao glanced at the stone that was about the size of a fist and said mockingly.

The youth opposite him did not say anything and only gave him an intriguing smile.

He stood on the spot and did not move. He exerted force with his hand and threw the stone toward Li Hao.

“Are you trying to hurt me with this Soul Skill?”

Li Hao’s gaze was cold. He was disdainful toward this kind of Soul Skill that could not be used in public.

He had an indifferent look on his face but when he activated his Soul Skill, he did not hold back his strength.

Having suffered a loss the first time, he did not dare to be careless.

At the same time.

The Snow Tusk Spear awakened, its body revealing a dazzling luster. Strange roars sounded on the training field. It was not just one sound; it was as if there were thousands of fierce beasts standing proudly with their tusks spread out!

At this time, the particles in the air that could not be seen by the naked eye slowly materialized, forming layers of thick ice barriers!

“Not bad, Li Hao’s Soul Skill is very powerful. After being strengthened many times, its lethality will be very great.”

A hint of admiration appeared on the face of the elder in the lead.

The two other elders at the side nodded their heads in agreement. The power of a Weapon Soul Ring was generally not as strong as a Beast Soul Ring, but Li Hao’s Snow Tusk Spear was rare. There was not much of a difference between its strength and a Beast Soul Skill.

Everyone was lamenting the power of the Snow Tusk Spear. They did not pay any attention to that small stone at all.

‘What kind of storm could a stone cause, after all?’

‘It probably can’t even break through the first layer of the barrier!’

Everyone glanced at it from the corner of their eyes. They wanted to fulfill their guesses but next, everyone’s eyes widened as they were completely petrified on the spot.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

The small stone passed through the barriers without any obstruction. The ice shards were shattered. The barriers in the air turned into pieces of ice shards and shattered to the ground.

Countless layers of barriers exploded one after another!

The crisp and melodious sounds of shattering were like a nail in the coffin to Li Hao.

It was unknown when the stone had broken through the barriers and appeared in front of him. His pupils instantly dilated!

With a very dull bang, Li Hao’s body was drenched in a cold sweat. He collapsed on the ground. After a long time, he felt a burning pain on his head.

The training field was dead silent.

At this moment, the disciples who mocked Li Ran could not laugh. They were all dumbfounded.

Everything had changed too quickly.

Under everyone’s gaze, a stone shattered the solid barriers and left an obvious mark on Li Hao’s forehead.

Li Hao’s head had a bulge. He sat on the ground in a daze. He was no longer in high spirits like before.

He was obviously frightened.

Everyone had different expressions. What happened just now had overturned their understanding.

‘Was that the trash we were talking about?’

‘His body was crushing Li Hao… His Soul Ring has defeated the 400-year-old Snow Tusk Spear…’

Most of them present would not be a match for Li Ran.

If Li Ran was trash, would they not be worse than trash?

“Li… Li Ran has only started Body Cultivation a few days ago, yet his transformation is so astonishing!”

The group of disciples could not even speak clearly.

As for the three elders, they looked at each other. When Li Ran threw the stone just now, they had clearly seen that the stone did not contain Soul Qi. It only contained the strength of his physical body!

Li Ran, who had been called a good-for-nothing for many years, had used his pure physical power to defeat a proud disciple of the first elder!

Today’s matter would definitely spread throughout the entire Pure Wind Clan!

On the training field.

Li Ran ignored everyone’s reactions. He played with the stone in his hand and walked toward the injured Li Hao with a smile on his face.

“Senior Brother, have I won?”

Seeing that strange stone, Li Hao subconsciously retreated. The impact he had received just now was too great.

An aged voice was heard coming from outside the training field.

“Li Ran, you won!”

After hearing that, Li Ran looked toward the direction of the voice. It was the leader of the elders. Perhaps it was to avoid further sparring as Li Hao’s life was in danger.

“Senior Brother, don’t forget our bet. A magical monster that’s more than 600 years old!”

Li Ran stopped at the right time. Since the people of the clan knew that he was in Body Cultivation and needed a monster to temper his body, no one would suspect him when he proposed this bet.

“I’ll give it to you tomorrow!”

Li Hao glared at the young man fiercely. The big bump on the corner of his head hurt so much that he took a deep breath.

“I believe you, Senior Brother. First Elder values you the most, after all. There’s no reason for you to lie to me for a magical beast!”

Li Ran smiled and added, “Senior Brother, if you still want to spar in the future, feel free to come to me. I think it’s quite fun to spar with you. It’s unlike the other senior brothers who fight to the death but still can’t tell who’s better. That’s so exhausting!

“In short, I like sparring with you, Senior Brother Hao. It was a good experience!”

As soon as he said this, Li Hao was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

‘It was a good experience?

‘What the f*ck!’

That trash was deliberately provoking him, indirectly teasing him that he was not powerful enough for being defeated after just a short while!

The more Li Hao thought about it, the angrier he got, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

“I didn’t hit you too hard. Why did you vomit so much blood? Senior Brother, your body’s too weak. You need to temper your body.”

Li Ran finished as if it was nothing and turned around to leave no matter how furious the person behind him was.

The matter in the training field had come to an end. He did not plan to stay here any longer and was about to leave.

“Li Ran, I haven’t seen you for a few days. Your strength has improved a lot.”

The three elders jumped down from the high platform and appeared in front of Li Ran in a second, which was several meters away from the training field.

“Greetings, elders!”

Li Ran did not have any impression of these three elders, so he greeted them indifferently.

“I heard that you’ve been practicing Body Cultivation recently?”

One of the elders asked with a smile.

It was well-known that Body Cultivation would improve one’s strength slowly, but Li Ran… In just a few days, it was as if he had been reborn.

“That’s right. Without Body Cultivation, do you think I could’ve defeated Li Hao?”

The three elders nodded. What Li Ran said was indeed true. His foundation was weak. If it was in the past, he would not be able to contend against Li Hao.

During this period, they had only heard of Li Ran cultivating Body Cultivation. There was no other news.

From the looks of it, their guesses were correct. It was because of the tempering of his body that he had such a shocking performance.

“You’re a good seedling for Body Cultivation!”

Another elder praised.

“Elder, you flatter me. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first.”

Li Ran did not have the mood to interact with these elders. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he left the training field.

Only the three elders were left. As they watched the young man leave, they were shocked and filled with emotions.

“Li Ran’s very talented. He was born for Body Cultivation!”

The other elder had the same thought.

“No matter how talented he is, the path of Body Cultivation won’t last long!”

The elder in lead scoffed.

After the other two elders heard that, the excitement in their eyes gradually extinguished as they shook their heads and sighed.

‘That’s right!

‘After a Body Cultivator reaches the Soul King realm, there’ll be no more path to walk!

‘What a pity!’
