Li Yao blushed and scratched his head in embarrassment: "I didn't know that you were Fiend Blade Peng Hai. If I knew, even if you beat me to death, I wouldn't have dared to spar with you. Wouldn't that be courting death?"
Peng Hai slightly smiled and continued:
"Secondly, in the Crimson Nimbus Guild, Chixiao No. 2 High School and my Crimson Nimbus Transportation belong to two different systems. Not to mention, I only signed a six-year contract with Crimson Nimbus Transportation. After the contract expires, I can leave at any time!"
"Even now, the contract hasn't expired yet. As long as I'm willing to pay a high penalty, I can still leave the Crimson Nimbus Guild!"
"Strictly speaking, I'm only an employee of the Crimson Nimbus Guild, not a disciple of the Crimson Nimbus Guild. I say this because I know that you and Chixiao No. 2 High School are not on good terms. It's natural for you to vent your anger on the Crimson Nimbus Guild. However, I hope that our friendship won't be disturbed by these trivial matters. To be honest, I also don't like those bastards from Chixiao No. 2 High School!"
Li Yao was stunned once again. A very strange feeling emerged from the bottom of his heart.
He didn't expect that Fiend Blade Peng Hai, a great cultivator at the high level of the Building Foundation Stage, would actually use such a vulgar word as "bastard".
It was just like how he never thought that cultivators also needed to poop and pee.
Although he carefully thought about it, cultivators were also human and definitely needed to eat, drink, and pee. However, if he really met a cultivator in a public restroom, he would still feel … shocked.
Peng Hai smiled again.
His smile was very bright and very lively. It was very much like a mischievous youth in his twenties. He lowered his voice and said in a low voice:
"When I was in Chixiao No. 2 High School, before I had made a name for myself, those bastards gave me supercilious looks and made things difficult for me. I wanted to quit school countless times like you, but I endured it all because of Teacher Sun Biao. You did what I wanted to do but didn't have the opportunity to do, Student Li Yao!"
These words caused Li Yao to feel a burst of excitement in his heart. He felt that the distance between him and Fiend Blade Peng Hai had narrowed a bit.
When he looked at Peng Hai again, he didn't seem to be so high and mighty. He had become a trustworthy big brother next door.
Peng Hai patted him on the shoulder, not concealing the admiration in his eyes as he said, "How about it? Do you have confidence in this year's college entrance exam?"
"Of course!" Li Yao used all the strength in his body to stick out his chest. He was unwilling to show weakness in front of Peng Hai.
"Good lad, you have ambition!"
Peng Hai punched him in the chest and said, "Chixiao No. 2 High School is nothing special. If you want to quit school, then so be it. For the next month, I will go to the Demon Beast Wasteland to kill and thoroughly consolidate my realm. I will lend you this cultivation room. If you want to use any strengthening drugs or high-energy nutrient fluids, put them all on my tab!"
Ding Ling Dong opened her eyes wide and shouted, "Hey!
"Senior Brother Peng, you've gone too far. I've pestered you for so long, but you've only occasionally brought me to this cultivation room to enjoy myself. You've never said that you'd lend me your room for a month. Why are you so generous to this kid?"
Peng Hai smiled faintly. "This is my 'deal' with him!"
Li Yao looked around and didn't find any mysteries in this simple and crude cultivation room.
However, he knew that since this was Fiend Blade Peng Hai's private cultivation room, there must be some mysterious and incomparably magical ability that would be of great benefit to cultivation. He couldn't help but ask, "Deal? Then what do you want from me? "
Peng Hai stretched out two fingers. "I'll give you two choices."
"First, I will lend you this cultivation room for free. At the same time, I will provide you with enough strengthening drugs and all kinds of resources. You can use as much as you want until the College Entrance Exam. This will be my investment in you! Before you step into the Core Formation Stage, I won't ask for anything in return. But if you are lucky enough to become a Core Formation Stage cultivator, then you will go to the Demon Beast Wasteland to hunt the strongest demon beast you can find and return it to me! "
"This deal is fair. What's the second choice?"
Li Yao looked pensive. This deal was not a loss for Peng Hai. It was the same as casting a long line to catch a big fish. Even if he couldn't become a cultivator, Peng Hai would at most lose some strengthening drugs.
For Li Yao, this was an astronomical figure, but for Peng Hai, it was just a drop in the ocean.
But once Li Yao formed Jin Dan, a powerful demon beast comparable to a Core Formation Stage cultivator would be priceless!
"Second, I will also invest in you. However, you don't need to kill demon beasts for me. You just need to call me... Brother Hai!"
Peng Hai said with bright eyes.
Li Yao was stunned. It took him a long time to react. His heart was filled with excitement.
Fiend Blade Peng Hai, the famous upstart of the cultivation world in Floating Spear City, was truly willing to make friends with a nobody like him!
If he chose the first option, it would be just a deal, just an investment. Peng Hai would now pay a trivial amount of resources. In the future, if Li Yao killed a great demon beast, he would pay him back a hundredfold. This deal would then be over. There would be no more connection between the two of them!
If he chose the second option, it would not be a deal, but Fiend Blade Peng Hai's sincere desire to make friends with him!
"Brother Hai!"
Li Yao called out without the slightest hesitation. But in his heart, he was truly puzzled to the extreme. He couldn't help but ask:
"Brother Hai, my pineal gland was torn, and my Actualization Quotient plummeted to 7%. Everyone is not optimistic about me. Why do you still have so much confidence in me? Why do you believe that I can still cultivate and even attack Jin Dan one day?"
Peng Hai smiled:
"The reason is very simple. I met a person before. Her experience was the same as yours. At the age of thirteen, her Actualization Quotient dropped from 85% to 11% all of a sudden. Everyone predicted that she would never be able to cultivate again. She wouldn't even be able to stand up. She would only be able to lie in bed for the rest of her life, becoming a complete cripple!"
"But this person not only stood up again, she also put in a hundred times more effort than normal people could imagine. She once again embarked on the path of cultivation. At the age of twenty-two, she rushed to the peak of the Refinement Stage!"
"If I'm not wrong, at most a year and a half, she will succeed in Foundation Establishment and become one of the youngest Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Federation. And give her another thirty to fifty years … maybe she will become the youngest Yuanying powerhouse in the Federation!"
"There's such a fierce person?"
Li Yao was secretly shocked. He couldn't help but ask, "Who is this person? Which university or cultivation sect is she in now? "
Peng Hai faintly smiled: "She's standing right next to you."
"What!?"
Li Yao was stunned. His gaze turned towards Ding Ling Dong.
He didn't expect that this girl who was like a little sun would actually have such a past.
No wonder she said that she saw her "former self" in Li Yao.
Was this the reason why she "didn't abandon him, didn't give up"?
Ding Ling Dong kept a straight face. She tightly bit her lips as if she was wearing a mask on her face. She didn't want others to find out what was on her mind.
Peng Hai also knew that she didn't want to talk about her past, so he changed the topic and said to Li Yao: "Now you understand, Student Li Yao. Even if the whole world doesn't think highly of you, even if they don't believe that you can still rise up — at least Ding Ling Dong and I both believe that you can create miracles!"
Li Yao's heart warmed.
"So there are still people in this world who believe in me!"
When he had just woken up, Professor Xie Tingxian of Deep Sea University didn't believe that he could still participate in the college entrance exam. Chixiao No. 2 High School even directly asked him to suspend his studies.
These two matters indeed made him feel somewhat lost.
But at this moment, all his losses were thrown beyond the highest heavens. Li Yao's eyes were moist. His blood was boiling, and his fighting spirit was soaring!
"Alright!"
Li Yao no longer hesitated. He calmly accepted Peng Hai's good intentions. "Brother Hai, we are all friends. I won't say too many polite words. Just one thing — if one day I really become a Master Refiner, I will definitely refine you a peerless saber that can split the ocean and cut the stars!"
As long as he could devour Ou Yezi's later memories, Li Yao was absolutely confident that he could create the strongest artifact in the Tian Yuan Realm!
Peng Hai laughed heartily: "Good, very straightforward. I will wait for that day to come. But I don't need a saber. I am proficient in seventeen types of weapons, but I don't know how to use a saber. If you refine me eight or ten flying swords, I will definitely accept all of them!"
"You are known as the 'Fiend Saber', but you don't know how to use a saber?" Li Yao was once again dumbfounded.
He discovered that when he was with someone like Peng Hai, his brain cells were always insufficient.
Peng Hai blinked his eyes. His face revealed the exact same expression as Sun Biao, the scum of the Cultivation World. He smiled and said:
"The nickname 'Fiend Saber' was deliberately released by me to let others know. Now that the entire Cultivation World knows that I am the Fiend Saber, everyone will naturally be on guard against my saber. Who would know that I am most proficient in swords? If in a fight, I suddenly conjure seventeen or eighteen flying swords, twenty or so long spears, and in addition, I conjure up three heads and six arms, brandishing seven or eight meteor hammers — but no saber. Wouldn't the opponent be dumbfounded? They would wholeheartedly ponder where my 'Fiend Saber' is hidden. In the time it takes for them to be distracted, it would be enough for me to behead them a hundred times. All is fair in war! "
Li Yao's head was covered in cold sweat. He could finally confirm that this "Brother Hai" was indeed the personal disciple of the scum of the Cultivation World, Sun Biao. Both of them were equally despicable and shameless!
"It's not good to casually reveal such a huge secret, right?"
"It doesn't matter. As for the matter of me not knowing how to use sabers, I have personally told many people in the Cultivation World, even my enemies. I very sincerely confessed to everyone that I was deceiving everyone. The 'Fiend Saber' is just an undeserved reputation. Do you think they would believe it?"
Li Yao pondered for a long time. He suddenly realized that this move of Peng Hai's was really too insidious and too cunning!
"Then do you know how to use sabers, Brother Hai?"
"You guess?"
"I'm not guessing. I've decided to refine a set of sabers for you, including flying sabers, daggers, miaodao, girdle soft sabers, and nine-ringed golden machete. You can hold a 'Saber Appraisal Convention' in the Cultivation World and tell everyone that these are your 'Fiend Sabers'. This way, the next time you duel with an enemy, your enemy will have to guard against your flying sabers, be afraid that you will cut their throats with your daggers, and be worried that you will suddenly pull out your nine-ringed golden machete and fiercely chop them. While their imaginations are running wild, you will suddenly stab them to death with your snake spear. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.
The two, one big and one small, laughed sinisterly at the same time.
On the side, Ding Ling Dong rolled her eyes. The shamelessness of these two guys was completely beyond her imagination.
"Good boy, I appreciate you more and more. Come, let me show you my 'real' training room!" Peng Hai laughed.
