Chapter 10: 9th Stage of QI Condensation realm? (1/2)

Eastern Mountains,

It was noon, the sun is burning at its limit, the mountains and the forest were peaceful as always. Only God knew why it was so.

In the middle of said mountains, there was a den inside of a cliff. Inside the den, a boy was sitting on a big rock. He is almost 170 cm high with a bare top and wearing purple shorts, and his eyes were closed with sharp eyebrows and a ponytail. His face was handsome.

Suddenly, the air around him got tense and he opened his eyes.

BOOM!

The whole cliff shook. The birds and animals on the cliff started running away. Inside the den, that boy sighed exasperated.

”Huff, I reached the 9th stage of Qi Condensation realm” he said with a deep breath. He was none other than Du Chan. Six years have passed since he started cultivating. He was 14 years old now.

He came down from his rock and wore a plain white t-shirt. A guy entered the room after the commotion ended.

”Brother Chan, let's eat” that guy was the same height as Du Chan but he was fatter. He was Zho Rong. With the devilish training imposed by Du Chan, he reached the 1st stage of the Body Training realm a few days ago. He can be considered a genius too because he reached the 1st stage at 14 years of age.

”Sure” Du Chan said with a smile.

Zho Rong, shocked by the sight of Du Chan, said ”Brother Chan. It looks like you become more handsome by the day”

Du Chan smiled and both of them walked out of the den, hunted 2 deer, made a dish and ate.

”Brother Chan. I heard that a beast's meat is very good!” Zho rong talked while munching on his meal.

”Hmm. I heard that too, but we don't have any beasts in here and if we wanted to hunt them we need to go to the northern forest. And that's impossible because Auntie will not allow us” he explained

”Ahh! I want to become an adult and become stronger than anyone. Well except brother Chan though...” Zho Rong laughed.

”Haha, sure why not. Let's conquer this world on our own, haha” Du Chan said.

”With brother Chan, we can do anything”....both of them chit chatted for some time.

”Let's go. It's time for your training” Du Chan stood up but Zho Rong's expression changed.

”Brother Chan…please be gentle…” Zho Rong requested before they began.

Du Chan didn't do anything regarding his complaint. He went back to the rock he sat on before and picked up a big rod made of iron. Seeing him brandish the rod, Zho Rong stood up and bowed apologetically.

”Sorry, SIR! Let's start training”

Du Chan came back to him with the rod in his hands, he smiled and threw him out of the cave.

”RUN THE WHOLE MOUNTAIN WHILE WEARING 50KGS OF WEIGHT” Du Chan shouted

”YES SIR”

Zho Rong stood up and ran near the cave. There were more than 5 bags in that place. Every bag had a number on it. Zho Rong picked up a 50kg bag, wore it and started running.

Du Chan sat on a rock in the lotus position and closed his eyes.

After 10mins, Zho Rong returned, drenched in sweat. The whole Mountain was more than 10 km…

”3 seconds late” Du Chan said without even opening his eyes.

Zho Rong, who was running out of breath, came in front of him and raised his right hand with palm. Du Chan picked up the rod and…

”Pal” he beat on his palm his whole hand shook but nothing happened to his bones because Du Chan only hit his muscles.

Zho Rong hid his hand back, he didn't make a single sound even though it hurt like hell. He bit his lower lip to restrain himself from making any sound. Then, he raised his left hand the same as before.

”Pal” another one.

Zho Rong hid both of his hands behind his back. He was at the edge of controlling his cry.

”FAST” Du Chan shouted.

Zho Rong looked at him with eyes filled with water but he didn't even open them. So he raised his right hand the same as before.

”Pal” with his throb, Zho Rong thought he lost his right hand but it was fine and started crying silently.

”10 minutes break then push-ups” Du Chan said.

”Y..E.S S..I..R” Even in pain like that he said that loudly. And went to a tree and sat there to take a rest.

After 10 minutes the training continued with push-ups, sit-ups etc. Du Chan made him do all of them very strictly. When he missed the count got beatings.

Training was completed in 2 hours and Zho Rong got 5 beatings today. Du Chan didn't even open his eyes nor move from that place.

Finally, he opened his eyes and saw that fatty was on the ground, filled with sweat and his face turned red.

”Now, now, fatty. Let's go back to the orphanage and take a bath” Du Chan said while smiling.

”Ahh. I'm very tired right now so wait a little” Zho Rong said.

”Okay” Du Chan came down from the rock, entered the den, came back to fatty and slept beside him.

”Fatty, listen. This is all to help you” Du Chan said.

”Stop, you say that every time” fatty said.

”It's okay if you understand” he said.

”Hmm I can understand” Fatty said.

Du Chan smiled. After some time, both returned to the orphanage and directly entered the bathroom. After freshening up, they went to their rooms.

He jumped on his bed and tried to sleep but he heard someone knocking on his door. He went to open it.

”Don't dis- haa Auntie, what happened?” He was annoyed by knocking but it was Auntie so he asked.

”Nothing. It's just that someone came here and wants to see you. So come with me” Auntie said.
