29 Main Weapon? (1/2)
Shi Feng and the guards came closer to the beast corpses and counted them by hand.
”I counted 37 here!” A guard shouted.
”I counted uh...45 here!” The other guard shouted.
”I counted...” Shi Feng gulped his saliva before continuing, ”...62 here!”
Hearing the last number made the three of them shudder. Even if Shi Li killed all of these beasts in a time span of two weeks, he still killed at least 10 beasts each day...which was coincidentally the estimated amount Shi Xingwan gave to Shi Feng.
”Totalling all of our numbers, it amounts to...144 corpses...” Shi Feng couldn't comprehend as to how a kid like Shi Li could kill that much beasts in a day.
”144 corpses? Can't we keep some to our own so we can make a small profit out of it?” A guard had the idea as he was slightly jealous of Shi Li gaining a lot of gold coins in one night.
Shi Feng shook his head at the idea. ”Don't even bother. The young master also killed beasts at the Peak of Bone Tempering..even though he was only at the First Stage of Skin Tempering.”
This thought made the guards shudder intensely as they knew for sure, if ever Shi Li found out in the future, with his current potential, they would be minced into pieces in the blink of an eye.
”But seriously though...what the fuck?” A guard truly couldn't believe it. Seeing Shi Li's combat power at the First Stage of Skin Tempering made the guard envious, wanting to know Shi Li's methods of doing so.
The other guard tapped on his shoulder and shook its head as it could sense the guard's greed for Shi Li's techniques. ”Remember who's protecting Shi Li.”
In an instant, the greedy thought was dispelled, making the guard look at the other guard and say, ”Thanks.”
Shi Feng released multiple strands of qi into the air and sent them to Shi Xingwan as he transmitted a message.
”Patriarch, your son is truly amazing. The amount of beasts he has killed throughout the last 14 days was over a hundred!”
After a moment of silence, Shi Feng received a reply from Shi Xingwan as the connection between them strengthened with qi.
”Eh? Over a hundred? My son? Seriously? Could you let me see?”
Shi Feng released yet more strands of qi into the air and condensed them in a certain manner to form a qi eye that would allow someone to see from a further distance.
Shi Xingwan looked through the qi eye and saw the pile of beast corpses in front of him, making his eyes widen with shock.
”What...the fuck?”
”I know right?” Shi Feng laughed inwardly as he saw that the patriarch had the same expression as him.
”My son did that? Seriously?”
”Indeed, Patriarch. According to our spies, only Shi Li left for the Forest of Ruin to temper, so it's quite certain that Shi Li killed all these beasts by himself.”
”...”
”MY SON REALLY DID THAT?!” Shi Xingwan truly couldn't believe it even though the evidence could be seen through the qi eye.
”Yes, Patriarch. But that's not all. He also killed a beast at the Peak of Bone Tempering.”
”...”
”Are you messing with me?” Now Shi Xingwan truly couldn't believe this as Shi Li was only at the peak of the First Stage of Skin Tempering when he started to go out on his tempering journey.
Shi Feng couldn't help but sigh. ”Even I didn't believe it at the start. I'll bring the pile of beast corpses to you at least by midnight and you can see for yourself, Patriarch.”
...
Shi clan, Shi Li's courtyard.
”Haaaaah...” Shi Li yawned as he sat upright on his bed. He looked at Moddy and smiled before nudging it with a finger.
”Oiiiii. Wake up.”
”Nya...” Moddy was enjoying the sensation of Shi Li's soft bed as it rolled to the right...and fell.
”Nyeouch!”
Moddy opened its beady eyes as it tried to rub the spot where it was hit. It looked at Shi Li and yawned. ”Good morning-nya.”
Shi Li replied back. ”Good morning. I'll just go and take a quick bath. Then we'll go to my father's office since I need to get a martial technique.”
Moddy nods as it stood up and did some questionable stretching. ”Nya! I want a technique as well-nya! Can I get a cultivation technique?”
Shi Li looked back at Moddy as he didn't expect it to ask that question. ”Oh? I can ask for one, but where did you learn the term cultivation technique?”
”I don't know to be honest-nya,” Moddy scratched its head but gave up as its paws were too short. ”I have a feeling that some memories were awakened from my blood [1], allowing me to know this term-nya.”
'Awakening memories from a bloodline, it sounds like something that I read from a novel in my previous life. I'll try to find Moddy's bloodline in the future.'
