Chapter 11 (2/2)

“Boom…” When the vigor of the Qi in Ren Jie’s body reached a certain strength and his body had completely adjusted to it, he used the strength of his body to compress the Qi directly. Under compression, the six linking points of the 36 circular rings formed special restrictions and the strong force pushed them to their limits and they shattered with a loud boom.

At that moment, Ren Jie felt extremely relaxed. The relief made him feel like someone who managed to breathe in fresh air when he was on the verge of dying from drowning or suffocation or being released after being locked up for a few decades. It was a true relief.

Relaxation and comfort, under constant pressure and stress, a large amount of foul-smelling and black perspiration was forced out of his body.

It was far too relaxing. Ren Jie felt that the intensity of the Qi in his body was only half of what he felt initially. That was almost equivalent to the Qi which Ren Jie would experience only at the peak of level-five Body Refinement Realm. However, this was only level-two Jade Emperor Refinement Chant.

Ren Jie did not stop and started concentrating the level-two vigor rings, but he needed to concentrate 72 vigor rings and it was more complicated to concentrate now. Typically, cultivators needed two to three days to concentrate the rings, but Ren Jie only took ten hours.

Although he was prepared this time around, the two times increase in the intensity of the refinement made Ren Jie vomit blood again. He took quite some time to pull himself together and adjust to the refining.

In the wooden house in the Ren family’s magical and special native forest, Wan Hong told the full story about what had happened after Ren Jie had left.

“Asking beast uncle to hit someone with the carriage. Interesting. Looks like this young man has some guts after he has been infuriated and has some authority now.” Ren Jie’s sixth uncle, Ren Tianzong, who did not bother much about the family, started to notice more about the happenings in the family clan.

“You mean he did not come out for two days and two nights after he went back?” Ren Tianzong had a few old books next to him and a book in his hand. He remained seated and watched quietly, then raised his question after listening to what Wan Hong said.

“That’s right, he did not come out after he returned to the Jade Imperial Academy and asked beast uncle to hit someone with the carriage two days ago,” Wan Hong asked immediately.

“Where’s that brat from the Fang family?”

Wan Hong said, “According to my investigation, this matter was probably not instructed by the Fang or Gao families. It should be their own actions. That girl from the Fang family is obviously against the family head. However, it didn’t seem like the family head wanted to hide intentionally because he was afraid to come out.”

“Continue to pay close attention.”

“Yes.”

Ren Jie did not know that the trace of special divine sense split after the Jade Emperor Refinement Chant jade card cracked when he started cultivating.

“Your head, scumbag, rascal, I thought wastrels like him would not try those legendary things in his entire life. If I had known earlier, I shouldn’t have… hmm, rascal why did you choose to cause trouble for me and you when you can live a pampered life. Screw you, I’m going to teach you a lesson.” Just as the jade card cracked, in a dark and discrete corner in the Ren mansion, someone opened his eyes suddenly and looked in the direction of the Jade Imperial Academy.

“Ahh…” In Ren Jie’s room, he let out a terrible scream and transformed all the remaining effects of the medicine into a burst of energy, causing his body to reach its limits after three days and two nights of compression.

However, at last, Ren Jie still broke through the second level of the Jade Emperor Refinement Chant and entered the third stage. At that moment, the Qi in his body was about the same as the level-seven of the Body Refinement Realm.

Although it seemed like he started cultivating the Jade Emperor Refinement Technique from scratch and he dropped from level-five to level-three of the Body Refinement Realm, the strength of his body and Qi increased a few times such that they were comparable to those at level-seven of the Body Refinement Realm.

Ren Jie felt weak and he almost wanted to lie flat on the bed. He took one full hour to finally gain some energy. Other than gaining energy and fulfillment, another feeling which he experienced was: hunger.

He finally recalled that, apart from eating the pastries in the living room downstairs when he was having a break, he had not eaten anything for quite a long while.

Just as he was about to walk out, he realized that his body felt as though it was wrapped up by a layer of armor. In addition, there was a foul smell that almost made him vomit—if there was even anything for him to vomit.

Ren Jie changed his clothes immediately and went downstairs. Ren Jie was a completely different person from three days ago. He was full of energy, just that he was hungry.

“Someone come here, bring me food here immediately…” Ren Jie stood outside the door and shouted.

“Is there anyone around, is there anyone alive, I’m so hungry…” Almost at the same time, the fatso shouted with little energy left from the outside of the garden.
