Chapter 3: The Chaotic Pearl
Just as Leng Xiao Yao was lost in thought, the prison door opened and three burly men walked in from outside. (For convenience, Ka Fei decided to change Leng Ao Tian's name to Leng Xiao Yao, and would refer to him directly as Leng Xiao Yao from now on.)
"A killer aura, a master?" was the first impression that flashed through Leng Ao Tian's mind when he saw these three men, and they brought him a strong sense of crisis.
That's right, these three men were exactly the three subordinates sent by Zhao Qing to teach a lesson to Leng Xiao Yao in secret. The cultivation of these three people had already reached that of high-level warriors. In Zhao Qing's mind, sending out three high-level warrior subordinates to teach a lesson to Leng Ao Tian, such a young master, was more than enough. But who would have thought that at this moment, Leng Xiao Yao was no longer the same as before?
"Get out of the way, kid." A rough and arrogant man shouted at Leng Ao Tian with a hint of teasing on his face.
"What's the point of talking nonsense with a big shot? Just beat him up directly." A man echoed, looking eager to take action.
"Is this little frame of his enough for us to take down with one punch?" The last man said with a scornful expression.
Leng Xiao Yao's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he listened to the three men, and his mind quickly calculated the odds of winning if he were to face these three experts alone. After calculating, Leng Xiao Yao felt a pang of sadness in his heart. If it were his past life's strength, he might still have had a chance of winning against these three people. However, this body was too weak, so weak that it was pitiful, and he couldn't even unleash his true power. Now, facing them head-on would only lead to death, but retreating without a fight wasn't in line with Leng Xiao Yao's character. He decided to take a gamble, and if he could successfully launch a sneak attack, victory wouldn't be impossible. He hoped that these three guys would underestimate him, making it easier for him to land a sneak attack.
A man with scars on his face saw Leng Ao Tian and didn't speak, so he took a big drink and said: "Little boy, if you don't want to suffer physical pain, then obediently crawl in front of me and kowtow a few times. Maybe I'll be happy and let you off."
Cold smile, cold and carefree. The words of this man stirred up his ambition. A great man has things that he can do and cannot do. Cold and carefree had a proud bone in his body from the previous life. In his concept, he could kneel to heaven, kneel to earth, and kneel to parents, but others wanting him to kneel down? Unless he was dead.
Suddenly, Leng Xiangyao's figure flashed towards the first man, his right foot directly hooking up a heel kick. Taking advantage of the moment when the man bent down, Leng Xiangyao's right hand curled into a claw shape and fiercely struck the Feng Huang point on the man's back. Before the man could react, he fell to the ground, dead.
"With a 'ka' sound, Cold Blood made his move and used his killing technique. After taking down one man, he turned to the left and pinched the throat of another man with his eagle claw-like hand, crushing it instantly."
"Big bull, little tiger." The man on the right saw that his two companions were fine one second before, but lost their lives the next second. He suddenly shouted and kicked Ling Xiao to the wall with a powerful kick.
“Bang!” Leng Xiang Yao's body crashed into the solid wall of the prison cell, producing a loud echo. In an instant, he felt as if his entire body had fallen apart, and his body slid down along the wall.
"Alas, my body can't keep up after all. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten hurt just now." Han Xiang's heart silently criticized this small physique of his. If it were the previous life, he would be very confident that he could take down these three powerful experts in front of him without a scratch with such a good opportunity for a sneak attack.
It's actually quite unfortunate for the three high-ranking warriors who entered the prison cell. With Ling Xiao's move, he could have killed two people, and apart from the luck factor, the main reason was that the three men saw Ling Xiao as completely harmless, so they underestimated him. However, they never expected that this unassuming little figure in front of them would have such a fierce attack method.
"You're going to die, kid." The surviving man put down his partner's corpse, stood up with a gloomy face and approached the calm and collected Leng Xiang.
"Haha, I can kill one to break even, killing two means I've already made a profit. If you have the ability, come and take it." Leng Xiao's face wore a smile as he coldly stared at the man who was forcing his way towards him.
The man stopped in his tracks, a look of puzzlement flashing across his face. Just a moment ago, he had sensed an intense killing intent and danger emanating from the unassuming young man's body. What was going on? This kid wasn't even a novice warrior, so why did he give off such a feeling? Why did he have such a thick aura of killing intent around him? Was this kid a soldier?
Forget it, first deal with the general's handover, otherwise when it's your own turn, it will be even more miserable. Thinking of this, the man clenched his fist and punched towards Cold Blooded, who was stuck on the wall.
"Danger." Leng Xiangyao used all his remaining strength to fling himself sideways like a broken wooden board.
"Boom!" The solid stone wall emitted a series of echoes, and a basin-sized hole appeared on the wall that Leng Xiao Yao had just leaned against.
"What a great opportunity." Coldly, Xiao Yao took advantage of the moment when the man finished his punch and the instant when he was still holding back that surge of energy. He stuck to the ground and quickly flipped up, his hands and knees rapidly striking various vital parts of the man's body.
Bang! Bang! Bang! A series of impact sounds rang out continuously, and at the moment when Leng Xiao felt his energy disappear, this enemy also launched his final attack, with a fist heavily hitting Leng Ao's abdomen.
"Pffft" Coldly and freely spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his breath weakened, and his body slowly fell to the ground.
"Huff...huff..." Leng Xiao Yao was now completely exhausted, his entire body feeling like it had fallen apart, and all he could do was lie on the ground, gasping for air in huge mouthfuls.
At this moment, a strange thing happened. Leng Xiao felt a tearing sensation on his forehead, and the next moment, a blood-red bead appeared in front of Leng Ao Tian. As soon as the bead appeared in the air, it emitted a strong bloody smell. The next moment, the bead seemed to be like a mischievous child, floating in front of the three corpses killed by Leng Ao Tian, and clusters of gray light were absorbed into the bead.
"Soul Power?" Leng Xiao Yao's face was filled with surprise as he stared at the bead floating in mid-air.
The crimson bead absorbed the three clusters of gray light and floated in front of Leng Xianyao again. In a flash, the crimson bead sank into Leng Xianyao's forehead once more.
"Hum." Leng Xiao felt a buzzing sound in his head, and the next moment, he was suddenly in another place. It was a space about the size of a football field, with armor and weapons placed inside. Where was this? Leng Xiao was momentarily stunned. Before he could think further, five big words appeared in the space: "Indestructible Golden Body Technique."
Suddenly, Leng Xiang felt a tearing sensation in his brain, and the next moment, it was as if many messages had been stuffed into his brain at once, making him dizzy. After a while, Leng Xiang began to examine the messages that had been transmitted to his mind. These messages were all about how to cultivate the Undying Golden Body Technique. The Undying Golden Body Technique was divided into four major stages: Copper Skin, Iron Bone, Silver Body, and Golden Body Immortal. Reaching the first stage of Copper Skin granted one a strong recovery ability and could also harden the body's toughness, but required absorbing 440,000 units of spiritual energy. To reach the Iron Bone realm, one needed to absorb 880,000 units of spiritual energy. To reach the Silver Body realm, one needed to absorb 1,660,000 units of spiritual energy. And to reach the Golden Body Immortal stage, one needed to absorb 3,330,000 units of spiritual energy. How was this possible? Calculating it out, wouldn't that require over six million lives to achieve? In the space on Earth, how could anyone possibly do that? But perhaps in this space, it might be achievable. It seemed that if he had the chance to go out, he would have to go to the battlefield to collect spiritual energy; otherwise, there was no way to absorb so much spiritual energy anywhere else.
