Chapter 20: Pain

The potent inner energy within Fan Xian’s body had already reacted, for a dense layer on his back The only proble in at full strength before the inner energy could react

The reason the word “shoot” was used was because the wooden stick’s owner thrust it in a flawless straight line (word used was 笔直, which ht as a pen… yea… ~MCM) with all of the power focused on the head of the pole

Fan Xian let out a stifled cry of pain Although his teenage body had a layer of inner energy as a protective barrier, it still hurt to the bone His entire body arced forward

Onein a fetal position on the floor in pain, the next, he leaned forward and pushed off the stone underneath his legs with his hands Launching hiy from his crouch, he viciously kicked backwards!

Whoever saw such a beautiful young teenager kick with such ferocity and menace would definitely be terrified However, the response was another simple “Thud!”

……

Fan Xian half-knelt on the floor, the hand on his ankle relentlesslyin pain

He knew that begging for mercy was pointless; this was already confirmed from his experience from the past few years He could only stare at the blind one three reed, as long as he could hit the latter, even on the corners of his clothes, he would have won That would earn him a month of rest

Even after having been abused for the past few years though, Fan Xian still could not hit his body Part of the reason was due to the erratic movements of Five-Bamboo, which were silent and relatively quick Thepart of it was the abruptness of his ht nal of the eye or other subtle motions for him to anticipate the attacks

The other reason was because of the ordinary wooden stick in Five-Bamboo’s hand Every time Fan Xian wracked his brain and used all sorts of tactics to creep closer towards Five-Bamboo, the stick would appear out of nowhere like a de his wrists, ankles and even his fingers

They did not break There was only pain; an immeasurable amount of pain

Thefor Fan Xian was, nosounds of waves crashi+ng against rocks, the black cloth wearing Five-Bamboo was still able to accurately discern his location The wooden stick in his hands never missed its mark

“Oh o……” Again, the stick jabbed his wrist Fan Xian was in soin a protracted falsetto He hid as far away from the merciless blind one as he could

An unknown specie of the cliff

Fan Xian sprawled at the edge of the cliff, exhausted At the moment, the ocean at the foot of the cliff has already quieted down, the radiant sunlight reflecting off the surface with a golden hue The rocks that were always being scrubbed by the waves were finally getting so dry in the sun, a few crustaceans cli the rocks like black dots

Caressing the painful places on his body, he casually checked the situation within his body and found that a portion of the violent inner energy had been absorbed into the Snow Mountain pressure point in his lower back Another portion of it had dissipated as a result of blocking the continuous strikes froy within his body was in a very tranquil state…… just like the quiet ocean right now

He knew that to rest in the situation noould not be beneficial to his training Enduring the aches on his entire body, he got up with great difficulty and crossed his legs He began to use the techniques in the Potent Scroll (The two scrolls, re silently at Five-Bae of the cliff

The black cloth that veiled Five-Ba in the sea breeze

“He’s got swag And it ain’t false swag” Fan Xian silently judged the blind one in his mind “Uncle, be careful not to fall over,” he said softly
