601: We also want to become stronger!

Shaking the brains and minced meat from his hands, Xu Lieying turned to look at the last living person in the arena besides Ming Dian and Lou Chao.

"What, do you want to finish the remaining two hundred and ninety-six head bows for him?"

Innis's face was pale, and even his full beard couldn't hide his current complexion.

"If you don't want to die, then scram. I have no interest in killing trash like you."

Hearing that Xu Lieying had let him go, Innis scrambled away towards the city in the distance.

It was a good thing he hadn't brought Ming Dian and Lou Chao into the city, otherwise that monstrous old man would surely have followed!

Scanning the surroundings, Xu Lieying put his arms around Ming Dian and Lou Chao's shoulders, and the three of them left openly.

"Uncle Xu, we've really offended the Dawn Association this time..."

Lou Chao sighed. Now they could only ride this pirate ship with Xu Lieying and Qi Longhu all the way.

"What if we offend them? Do you really think such people can save those commoners?"

Xu Lieying let out a scoff. He thoroughly disliked people who spouted such grand principles.

They talked but didn't act, only drew big pictures, and achieved their goals by threatening others. It was utterly ridiculous.

"Come, follow me. Our goals are far grander than that so-called Dawn Association."

Gently ruffling Lou Chao's soft curly hair, Xu Lieying's gaze fell on Ming Dian, who was following silently beside him.

"What's wrong, child? Do you think I killed the wrong person?"

"That's not it..." Ming Dian shook his head, sighing with regret.

"Actually, the boss should apologize to those who died at the hands of the Mad Dog Squad, not me."

"Also, I haven't cursed enough yet. He died too easily."

After this incident, Ming Dian's rose-tinted glasses for the Dawn Association were completely shattered.

He was now utterly disappointed in the Dawn Association, and his ideals had taken quite a blow.

Although Ming Dian's face still held a cheerful smile, Xu Lieying could tell that the child was not feeling well inside.

"When we get back, tell me what you want to do, what you want to become."

Xu Lieying knew this wasn't something that could be recovered from in a day or two, so he didn't say much more.

They still had many things to do next, including dealing with the Dawn Association's retaliation.

Xu Lieying naturally knew the consequences of his actions, but he didn't care.

Dealing with one Red Dragon Company was already dealing with it, so it wouldn't hurt to eliminate another Dawn Association.

There was only one real difficulty: the Dawn Association had always hidden in the shadows, and this was merely one of their branch venues.

"You'd best deliver yourselves to my doorstep, saving this old man the trouble of searching for you."

...Returning to the former Flower Gang territory, which was now the Five Spirits Gang Branch, Ming Dian and Lou Chao found Qi Longhu and Xu Lieying.

"Something wrong?" Seeing that the two children hadn't left, Xu Lieying put down his water cup and looked at them.

"Uncle Qi, Uncle Xu, I want to know..."

Ming Dian hesitated. He wasn't sure if he could continue to follow Qi Longhu and Xu Lieying after saying this.

"If you have something to say, spit it out. What's with all the dawdling, big men?"

Qi Longhu hated such indecisiveness and slapped the table, somewhat displeased.

"I want to know if we can become as powerful as you!"

Ming Dian's current appearance was like a protagonist from a traditional hot-blooded manga seeking a master, shouting out his purpose loudly.

Qi Longhu and Xu Lieying exchanged glances, then burst out laughing.

"Want to be as powerful as us?"

"Impossible, you can't do it."

"As expected..." Ming Dian sighed with some disappointment, but he wasn't surprised.

If such inhuman power could be easily obtained, this world would not have been oppressed and enslaved by the Red Dragon Company for so long.

"However, if you're willing to endure hardship, training you to dodge bullets with your Physical Body and kill the Mad Dog Squad with your bare hands isn't a problem."

Qi Longhu crossed his legs, smiling as he looked at Ming Dian and Lou Chao.

They both liked these two children very much, so they naturally wouldn't be stingy and hide their abilities.

Ming Dian and Lou Chao could learn the martial Dao, but the Divine Power bestowed by the blood of the heavenly demon and the heart of the gods could not be obtained through effort.

The Human Race's Physical Bodies here were too weak. Any random martial artist from the Heavenly Demon Star could be considered a superhuman.

Of course, the technological development and weaponry here were incomparable to what martial artists could achieve. That kind of thing had to be handled by that old fellow Liu Ye.

"Really?" Lou Chao's face was excited. Dodging bullets with their Physical Body and killing the Mad Dog Squad with their bare hands were things they never dared to imagine before.

In Lou Chao and Ming Dian's eyes, the Mad Dog Squad was already the strongest fighting force in Red City. They had never even seen stronger existences.

Those terrifying individuals only existed in urban legends.

"Would this old man lie to you?"

Qi Longhu raised an eyebrow. He didn't like to hear that.

"However, this old man will only choose one of you two to be my Disciple and pass on my martial arts."

"Don't worry, the other one will be taught by me."

Xu Lieying also understood Qi Longhu's thoughts and said after taking a sip of the rusty-tasting water.

"Teacher!"

Although Lou Chao was a bit timid, he was clever enough.

The moment Xu Lieying finished speaking, he shamelessly scurried over to Qi Longhu's side.

"Just calling me Teacher?" Qi Longhu lifted his eyelids and grunted, asking.

"Then what else should I do?" Lou Chao was stunned. He didn't know the specific process for such things.

Ming Dian and Lou Chao were just two children who roamed the streets; how could they understand Qi Longhu and their rules?

"Old Qi, they don't understand those rules, and since we're here, we should do as the Romans do."

Xu Lieying saw Lou Chao's embarrassment and spoke up to explain for him.

"Alright..." Qi Longhu let out a long breath and pressed Lou Chao down to kneel on the ground.

"Alright, from today onwards, you are my Disciple."

"child Ming Dian, from today onwards, you will follow me."

Compared to Lou Chao, Xu Lieying preferred Ming Dian.

Ming Dian was more meticulous and better suited for Xu Lieying's family's ancestral Cultivation Technique.

"Teacher."

Ming Dian imitated him, dropping to his knees before Xu Lieying with a thud.

"Good, good."

Xu Lieying chuckled as he helped Ming Dian up, nodding towards Qi Longhu.

"Starting tomorrow, Old Qi and I will begin to train your Physical Bodies. If you can't endure it, you can leave."

"But there's only one chance. If you leave, we will no longer train or teach you."

"Understood?"

"Understood!" Ming Dian and Lou Chao's eyes were filled with excitement. They were already imagining their lives after becoming powerful.

However, this was only their imagination. Qi Longhu and Xu Lieying's methods for tempering the Physical Body were quite unconventional, and harder times awaited them.
