Chapter 16 (1/2)

”Come quickly, he's awake Little shi+ba's awake!”

Little shi+ba had just regained consciousness While he was still a little dazed, the loud voice of wang Tianlei started to ring beside his ears Later, he heard a ”Bang!” noise and then the sound of a door opening before his mother burst into tears and wrapped her arms around him

”You little bastard, you could have frightened your mother to death! Oh, my!”

So hopeless, so dispiriting, and so unlucky

It was really very si that Little shi+ba was gone, the Zhou fa all over for him Finally, in a thicket behind the wall of their courtyard, they found hiround They then hurriedly carried him ho his luggage to leave After a brief flurry of activity, things were finally settled However, Little shi+ba's mother fainted because she was so worried and shocked

Just as she was carried out, the yell of wang Tianlei was heard throughout the house, telling everyone that Little shi+ba had regained consciousness She awoke from her co to the scene described above

But this

After seeing that Little shi+ba had co problems, everyone started to calm down But, just as soon as they had settled down, Little shi+ba got into trouble

Perhaps the so-called ”to revenge sooner or later” is a vivid depiction of now

With an air of resignation, Little shi+ba lay down on a pile of dry wood, with his hands clasped behind his head With an embittered smile upon his face, he stared up at thein the breeze above him and listened to the sound made by his stomach

Only a day had passed since his regaining consciousness when Old Zhou, his father in this life, had shut hi for three days

Old Zhou was a true, born and bredin thechildren, that was not his strong point

He believed in a dictum from Little shi+ba's previous life: ”Spare the rod and spoil the child” This was indeed a crude and direct style of education Little shi+ba had always been obedient and thus, until now, had given Old Zhou no reason to take action against him He had never been shut into the woodshed like this before Normally, it was Boxer

But how tied Now, it was Little shi+ba as really in trouble Just after he had regained consciousness, Old Zhou had decided that he would not tolerate hi trouble So he sent him to the woodshed, the sa him for three days

Over the next few days, Old Zhou was most satisfied with his actions, because after three days of being locked away, the well-behaved and obedient Little shi+ba of old was back, and he did not give Old Zhou any further reason to worry

How time flew!

Four years had passed before anyone knew it and Little shi+ba was already eight years old

Most people see the tiht as a rather muddle-headed and simple period, yet also a time of purity and innocence But to Little shi+ba, these four years were the most enriched, so that he wanted to shout out ”Hallelujah!”

Thanks to wang Tianlei and the old blind er villagers had learned how to read and write well Perhaps they were not well-educated, but at least they were literate, and when sending letters to distant relatives they would no longer have to try hard to get someone else to write for the would still be littered with minor errors here and there

But overall, this was a remarkable achievement

Little shi+ba was not especially interested in this achieveer needed to painstakingly hide his illiteracy froe could basically all recognize a few characters, and there were even one or two ”prodigies” who could already recite ream after reaes Parents of these ”prodigies”, with great io and take part in the preliminary rounds of the imperial examinations

He was not a child prodigy and was not very interested in the cultural systely rese as others kneas literate, that was enough

His practice of the Ignis Skill had gone s theHeavenly Sword, he had overconis Skill He had been able to absorb Fire Attributes fro special th, he had transfory of Fire Attributes into a unified Internal Qi and contained it entirely within his body

This was the th throughout this world Of course, it was not easy to do this at all Between heaven and earth, there was not only one type of Fire Attribute but countless types For example, the Fire Attribute pneuma emitted by the sun above our head had hundreds of variations, a which the most well-knoas the sun's fire Even just a little of this kind of fire was enough to end, there were few that could handle the sun's fire Of course, the Ignis Skill was only the th with a Fire Attribute Little shi+ba did not yet know this, and with his current level of sensitivity to the essence of the world, he was also not able to sense much

Due to vigorous training, Little shi+ba was able to conis Internal Qi and was able to wield its power He hadSkill Aside from this skill's own inherent power, it was now co fist When fully unleashed, it could have a destructive forceSkill
