Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 301-Chapter 400)

Han Anjun said sternly, “Just outnumbering him is not enough, is it? You even want to bully the weak too?”


The bald man refused to relent. “They were all empty-handed, so how could they properly unleash the power of the encirclement? If they fought in actual battle with real weapons, he would have died long ago.”

Han Anjun placed down his bronze cup heavily. “I think the one arrogant is not him, but you lot! In a real slaughter with anything and everything allowed, he can kill his way in here in under half an hour. You all seem so skilled and capable during training, but when it comes to actual battle, you show your true colours and descend into a complete mess. This is embarrassing, utterly embarrassing! All of you piss off and spend three days reflecting on yourself.”

The quiet Han Anjun suddenly spoke up, scolding them violently. All of them fell silent from fear and left under Han Anjun’s orders. Only Han Tieyi remained.

Han Anjun’s expression gradually eased up. He let out an extremely rare smile. “Tieyi, well done. This is the bit of motivation that they need. They can’t keep thinking they’re stronger than the disciples of the other schools just because they have it a little tougher every day.”

As the leader of the school of the Military, his senses for certain things were far sharper than Liu Zhangqing’s. Under the facade of peace, something seemed to be growing tense again. War was near.

His exact objective was to borrow Li Qingshan to fiercely temper the military disciples so that they could prepare for any potential turmoil. Embarrassment was better than losing their lives. He was not afraid of embarrassing the school of the Military. Dead people felt no embarrassment.

“I didn’t think he could make it all the way up like this.” Han Tieyi frowned. He did not doubt Li Qingshan’s ability to charge all the way up, but making his way up step by step after sweeping aside everyone had taken him by surprise.

“His body tempering techniques are something else. It’s just a pity that he’s not a disciple of my school of the Military. Otherwise, our chances of winning the martial arts competition of the nine prefectures would increase by thirty percent at the very least.” Han Anjun let out a sigh just like the slovenly daoist priest.

Out of the prodigies who had appeared during the entrance examination, Li Qingshan would be the greatest if he were evaluating them. Both Chu Tian and Yu Zijian paled in comparison to him. Although Xiao An’s talent was monstrously high, she was not necessarily suited for the path of the military. However, Li Qingshan was basically born to be a soldier. He liked fighting and killing, yet he also possessed courage and sharp wit.

Han Tieyi said, “He’s not a disciple of the school of the Military, but you still can give him some guidance, general.”

Han Anjun said, “That’s what I have in mind too. I’ll leave this to you for now!”

Only when the big fish was violent enough could the group of small fish be prompted into action, erupting with unprecedented potential and becoming even more united. And, even without this reason, they were reluctant to see someone with such great potential like him being wasted away in a place like the school of Novels.

“Yes, sir!”

……

Li Qingshan woke up from his dream. White blankets covered him with white walls, tables, and chairs around him. The curtains swayed in the breeze as sunlight poured in from the windows.

A pure-white lily was placed by his bed, giving off a faint fragrance. The weather had cleared up before he knew it, allowing the warm sunlight to pour in.

Li Qingshan stretched a little; he felt that various parts of his body still ached slightly. However, he felt extremely happy too. Sure enough, compared to writing novels, this lifestyle suited him better. It was best if he just gave up on that unrealistic idea!

He closed his eyes and sensed the various parts of his body. They were all fine. His depleted dantian began to build up true qi again too.

True qi originally followed a process of circulation. Having overexerted it, his recovery rate was extremely gradual, but his true qi’s quality did increase.



He had benefited quite a lot from this battle. Although he did not receive a single word of advice from Han Anjun, he had comprehended plenty of things.

He was a genius for actual combat. He radiated with charm in battle and battle would also unlock his potential. Although none of the military disciples seemed like his opponent, the moves they unleashed, the tricks in how they used their force, and even the feeling when he was struck by them brought him great benefit.

Ru Xin walked in from outside. “You’re awake.”

Li Qingshan’s eyes lit up. Another beauty, and a beauty at the tenth layer. Sure enough, there were plenty of fish in the sea. He really struggled to understand what Hua Chengzan was thinking.

Though, if he actually had to compare them, the person standing before him was slightly worse than Gu Yanying. He had no idea why he felt like that. Perhaps it was the truth, or perhaps it was his deep impression speaking, which he had gained from suddenly seeing a supreme beauty after spending over a decade trapped in the countryside.

Wasn’t there a story just like this? A scholar had eaten a bowl of lotus starch in a farmer’s home whilst in abjection, and he found it to be utterly delicious. Afterwards, he became a high-ranking official and tried the lotus starch made by all the renowned chefs in the region, but none of it tasted like before. In the end, he found the same famer’s home as before and ate it again, but it no longer tasted like before anymore.

He was very interested in finding an opportunity and testing whether this story was true or not for himself.

“I’m Li Qingshan. May I ask for your esteemed name?”

“How could I, Ru Xin, not know about the infamous fellow Li’s name?”

Were there surnames like Ru? Li Qingshan was perplexed. He looked around. “Where’s Xiao An?”

“She has been called back by the One Thought master. It’s not like you’re riddled with illness either, so there’s no need for her to remain by your bedside constantly.” As Ru Xin said that, she sat down by the bed and pressed her hands against Li Qingshan’s bare chest. His bluish-green robes had been ripped to pieces during the battle.

Her hands that were as soft and smooth as jade slid from his chest to his belly. “Your wounds healed very quickly. The vitality your body contains is simply shocking.”

“I ate some unknown fruit when I was young, and I just became so robust afterwards.” Li Qingshan casually made up a lie. Is she interested in me? Heh, she must have witnessed my valiance in the school of Military. She has been drawn to me by my bearing.

Whatever, I can’t just let her do all the work. Li Qingshan had always been a person who did whatever he wanted. He grabbed Ru Xin’s hand. “I still have to thank you for treating my injuries with so much care.”

Ru Xin’s face stiffened. She tried to pull her hand back, but it was stuck. Her face reddened slightly, and it was not out of embarrassment, but anger. She had plenty of suitors in the academy, but there really were few as shameless as him.

Li Qingshan thought his charm had already reached Hua Chengzan’s level.

Ru Xin said sternly, “Sir, if you don’t let go, I’ll have to call out.”

Only then did Li Qingshan let go of her. He was surprised. “Didn’t you touch me first?”

“I’m the doctor, and you’re the patient. That’s something that comes first. What? Do you like it like that, being massaged by someone? Though, I need to say it is an option. That is one of the services our school of Medicine provides, but it costs money.” Ru Xin lowered her head with a faint smile. She seemed extremely moving.

Li Qingshan was both excited and disappointed. “Alright. How many spiritual stones is it?”

“Lie down. I’ll go make some preparations.” Ru Xin smiled enchantingly and left.
