"A man from the sky?"
Li Jialing twisted the body of the third prisoner hard, twisting it from the elbow to the shoulder blade. "Why do I feel like I'm listening to a story?"
"It's true. In fact, the two of us grew up in similar environments. It was a hell on earth where the strong prey on the weak, the survival of the fittest, and the lawlessness. In order to see the sun tomorrow, we had to do our best and exploit every drop of physical and mental power."
Li Yao said, "As far as the eye can reach, wolves, tigers, and leopards in human skin are everywhere. They may waste a whole day searching for food in the garbage, but they may not find any food at all. It is not unusual for them to be starved and frozen for days. It is not unusual for them to vomit blood and have their bones broken after being beaten by other people. It is not unusual at all.
"I grew up in such a twisted environment. By the time I was capable of protecting myself, I had already become ruthless and heartless. All I wanted was to survive myself. What about other people? Who cared?
"Naturally, I did not like to bully the weak, but if the wolves in human skin were bullying other weak people, I wouldn't bother with them as long as they did not piss me off.
"At that time, those guys even gave me a nickname. They called me 'Vulture', referring to my sordid, brutal, and unsociable personality."
"Vulture Li Yao?"
Li Jialing was slightly dazed. "It sounds like a nickname for the Immortal Cultivators."
"Who can say that it isn't?"
Li Yao said with a smile, "If I had grown up like that, maybe I would've become an out-and-out Immortal Cultivator, a loner, indifferent, and cold-blooded one who would not necessarily hurt anyone but would definitely not help those who were in need. Just like your dream right now, I wanted to be free and unfettered, and nobody messed with me!
"But the old guy from the sky completely changed me. He grabbed my ear every day and talked to me about a lot of principles, telling me what was right, what was wrong, what was justice, and what was evil solemnly. He even dragged me to the darkest corner of the magical equipment graveyard, which was the name of my hometown, so that I could see how the lonely and helpless little guys were bullied and how they cried, shuddered, and were full of desperation after they were bullied.
"The bullying and wailing of these little fellows, I have also suffered and wailed exactly the same way.
"At first, I did not listen to any of the old guy's logic at all. I only felt that he was so long-winded that my head was about to explode.
"However, he was stronger than me, and he tempted me with very delicate magical equipment maintenance techniques and some bizarre magical equipment. In order to learn what he was capable of, I could only grit my teeth and listen to the old guy's nonsense!
"You don't say, human nature is a very weird thing. Even the most cold-blooded person, who could not have been colder and colder in the first place, as long as the seed of pity blossomed into a flower..................................................................
"On the surface, I still turned a blind eye to the miserable life of the helpless orphans who were bullied in the magical equipment graveyard.
"But in the dead of night, I gradually began to have dreams. In my dreams, the orphans in ragged clothes were shivering on the garbage mountains, hugging each other for warmth, only to be frozen or starved to death without them knowing it.
"As for myself, I am one of them!
"Every time I woke up from such a nightmare, my 'pity' for the orphans would be greater, and my fury toward the adult scavengers would be deeper, too.
"At that time, I still maintained the most basic rationality and restrained myself from pissing off the adult scavengers. Gangs were behind them, and they were not something that a half-grown boy and an old guy like me could deal with. Pissing them off for the sake of momentary pleasure would only bring me infinite trouble.
"In the last time, when the old guy and I were excavating valuable garbage together, we accidentally saw three adult scavengers who had cornered a nine-year-old orphan and were about to do terrible things to her. Finally, I completely lost control of myself. My head went blank, and I allowed my 'pity' to replace my rationality. Together with the old guy, we finished the three scumbags after much difficulty. As it turned out, we indeed caused an overwhelming amount of trouble for ourselves. Before the old trouble was settled, new trouble came one after another. Even to this day, the trouble still seems to be lingering!
"That's probably the reason why I became a Cultivator in the first place. In fact, everybody can become a Cultivator as long as they can still feel the slightest 'pity'.
"The old guy gave me a seed that activated the 'pity' in my heart. Now, I'm giving the seed to you. I believe that, as an 'experiment subject', you must feel 'pity' somewhere in your heart when you see so many of your own kind suffering the same as you did in the past, right?"
"Are you kidding me? I don't even know what you're talking about."
Li Jialing frowned hard. "Why me?"
"Because of a certain mysterious cycle, or rather —"
Li Yao said with a smile, "It must be fate!"
Boom!
Li Jialing blew away the third prisoner with a punch. He wriggled hard on the ground, unable to get back to his feet.
Breathing hard, the young man frowned and gestured at the surveillance camera in the corner. "It's not enough. Pick another thirty, no, fifty prisoners and bring them in!"
Very soon, fifty bizarre-looking, brawny, and hideous prisoners stood in front of Li Jialing.
They were all foaming at the mouth, their eyes bloodshot, and their muscles were shivering unnaturally. It was obvious that they had been injected with excessive excitants.
"That's … more like it!"
The young man grinned hideously. The power rune arrays of the Crystal Suit were activated to the maximum. The tiny training room was filled with the noises of air being torn apart, and the overlapping blasts swept across every inch of space like airwaves.
Hiu!
Li Jialing turned into a streak of brightness and charged at the fifty prisoners.
Those prisoners were obviously much stronger than the three prisoners just now. Although they did not carry any equipment, their iron fists and sharp claws were the most dangerous slaughter machines. Fifty fearless brawny men against one, even Li Jialing could not completely crush them, but he was blown away again and again until he hit the transparent glass wall brutally.
Li Jialing, on the other hand, was so excited that he stomped on the transparent glass wall again and again. The flames spurting out of the power rune arrays below his feet seriously weakened the hardness of the transparent glass wall, too.
Finally —
Li Jialing blinked and dodged the claws of two prisoners. On one of his knees, he opened his hands, and a mini crystal cannon appeared on his wrist and his shoulder. Four crystal cannons in total were aimed at the prisoners and bombarded them crazily. Most of the mystic rays and bullets hit the transparent glass wall that faced the hollow channel! BOOM! BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM! Li Jialing seemed to have gone crazy. Shooting stars rushed out of his hands and shoulders and swept across everything like a storm.
Other than wiping out a large batch of prisoners, interconnected cracks were also left on the transparent glass wall.
"Kacha, kacha, huala!"
The tempered glass wall here only considered the collision of the prisoners' fleshly bodies. It never occurred to them that somebody would launch attacks from inside.
Also, Li Jialing's brutal stomps at the beginning had seriously weakened the hardness and stability of the transparent glass wall.
Now that it was under the bombardment of the crystal cannons that felt like a storm, it could not persist for long before shocking holes were left on it.
The prisoners who were attacking Li Jialing immediately fell quiet and looked at the broken transparent glass wall in disbelief.
Li Jialing stopped attacking, too, as if he were at a loss.
"Aooooo!"
Those prisoners let out hoarse roars, which contained an incomparably strong unwillingness and joy. They were almost dancing with joy.
Nobody looked at Li Jialing anymore. They all jumped out of the broken transparent glass wall.
Alarms were echoing up and down the beehive prison in an orderly manner.
Hum! Hum! Hum!
Hum! Hum! As red and green mystic rays flashed, an invisible, mysterious force rose quickly like a flood and drowned the entire beehive prison. The complicated rune arrays on the walls around began to flash glamorously, raising visible electric arcs between them and the shackles of the prisoners!
For a moment, in all the cells nearby, the prisoners were stuck to the ground with their limbs stretched out. The shackles were integrated with the floor. Even a piece of paper could not be stuffed into them.
The prisoners who had already jumped into the air were also pulled back by the powerful spirit magnetic force. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! They crashed into the walls, the floor, and the ceiling like rats that had been nailed to a chopping board. They could not move at all.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
There were a few particularly stubborn prisoners who tried to break free from the shackles, but they only caused ear-piercing sounds to erupt from their bodies. The pale white bone fragments even pierced through their flesh and blood and stabbed into the air. Instead of saying that they were in pain, it would be better to say that they were in deep sorrow and despair!
"Aooo! Aooooo!"
Like beasts, they roared at Li Jialing and the entire prison.
His hands in his back, Li Jialing stared at the prisoners coldly in silence.
"I'm very curious. When you were tied up and carried to the operation bed for refinement, did you grimace and grimace in excruciating pain like they did?"
Li Yao asked.
