199: Too shameless, kick him out of the Sky-blasting Gang

Lingnan City Martial Arts University Cultivation Gymnasium.

The Four-person Group was refining their attribute values on the third floor.

Just then, Qi Chuanyu's phone rang.

He put away his stance, answered the call, listened for a moment, then hung up.

He turned to the other three and said, "The sun must have risen from the west again; Shen Bei is treating us to a meal and wants us to meet at the cafeteria."

Du Ziteng dispelled his meatball form, stretched his limbs, and said with a hint of disdain, "He wouldn't be like last time, just finding some random street stall to eat at, would he?"

Niu Yanben tilted his head, his legs still pounding on the treadmill, "If we want Shen Bei to bleed money, it's impossible without us bleeding first, heh."

"Big guy, you say, are we going or not?" Qi Chuanyu turned to ask Liao Zhongyang.

Liao Zhongyang was blasting a steel dummy, which had already been reduced to an iron ball, but he continued to punch, "If you go, I'll go."

Qi Chuanyu waved his hand, "Then let's go. I guess this time Shen Bei will try to save face and definitely treat us to a big meal."

"I refuse to believe it; he can't possibly treat us to a meal in the cafeteria, can he?"

"Also, we need to show off a bit and surprise him."

Niu Yanben's eyes lit up, and he turned off the treadmill, "I'll do the bragging, heh!"

"Let's go, let's go."

Du Ziteng led the way, calling out as they walked out of the gymnasium.

...

The Four-person Group quickly arrived at the cafeteria.

They didn't see Shen Bei at the entrance.

Qi Chuanyu's mouth twitched, and he led them inside the cafeteria.

From afar, they saw Shen Bei waving, "Over here, time to eat."

The Four-person Group exchanged glances, and their expressions immediately fell.

Du Ziteng clicked his tongue, "See? This guy is just so shameless."

Qi Chuanyu: ...

"No, Shen Bei, are you possessed by a miser?"

Qi Chuanyu sat opposite Shen Bei, wanting to curse, "You're really treating us to a meal in the cafeteria?"

Shen Bei shrugged, "What do you know? This is called eating the 'smell of human life'. I, a Four-Rank Martial Artist, eat this, so what's the big deal for you guys?"

Four-Rank Martial Artist...

As soon as these four words came out, everyone else's eyes popped.

They felt that Shen Bei had, in an invisible way, smoothly pulled off another impressive stunt.

Liao Zhongyang's jaw almost dropped to the ground, "Four...Four-Rank Martial Artist?"

Niu Yanben's mouth twitched, "Is that true or false? If you do this, how am I supposed to brag, heh!"

Du Ziteng stared intently at Shen Bei, his face full of indignation, "No, can't you just wait for us? We just got promoted to Third-Rank, and we wanted to be equals with you and show off a bit, but you've taken off again! Can't we just have fun together?"

Shen Bei continued to gnaw on his chicken leg, his aura like a towering mountain, and said unhurriedly, "You're weak, yet you blame others for running fast."

Qi Chuanyu cursed, "This bun is so bitter!"

Shen Bei tilted his head and said with a smile, "It's not bitter. Maybe your life is bitter?"

Qi Chuanyu: ...

"Did I make you sick?" Shen Bei asked with concern.

Qi Chuanyu nodded.

Sick, extremely sick!

We finally got promoted to Third-Rank, but you got promoted to Four-Rank.

We wanted to show off, but Shen Bei took all the glory.

Sick!

Shen Bei said with an educative tone, "Then don't look in the mirror while eating. You must have made yourself sick."

Qi Chuanyu: ...

This meal really couldn't be eaten anymore.

The few of them chatted for a while.

Shen Bei pulled out a tissue to wipe his hands, his gaze falling on Niu Yanben.

He licked his lips, revealing a barely perceptible mischievous smile.

Shen Bei flipped his palm.

Spiritual energy surged.

Shen Bei felt an invisible large hand grow out of his back.

The arm began to stretch, directly clasping the top of Niu Yanben's head.

Niu Yanben scratched his head, feeling as if a fly had landed on his head.

But he didn't pay attention, continuing to mock Shen Bei, "Do you have some kind of special ability, heh?"

Shen Bei was startled.

Was he discovered?

No, it couldn't be.

Just speaking of telekinesis, when the target isn't moved, no one can see anything unusual.

Shen Bei said with a smile, "How could I have a special ability?"

"Yes, you definitely do." Niu Yanben said with extreme certainty, "Otherwise, why does my head hurt whenever you sit in front of me, heh?"

"Haha..." Du Ziteng slapped the table and laughed, "Good, good, this joke is great, I've learned something."

Shen Bei rolled his eyes, "Little Du Ziteng, you're still in the mood to laugh? If you don't find a girlfriend soon, your hair will think you've become a monk and start to go bald."

Du Ziteng: ...

Qi Chuanyu hummed a few times, comforting Du Ziteng, "Don't listen to his nonsense. We use Bawang shampoo, *dangdandang*. And, I have experience pursuing girls; I'll help you with ideas!"

Shen Bei didn't forget to poke at Qi Chuanyu's sore spot, "You're still here blabbering advice to others? Look at you, you're so heated up, you've saved on heating bills."

Qi Chuanyu: ...

"That's too much." Liao Zhongyang joined the fray, "If you ask me..."

Then, the Four-person Group opened fire with their mouths, starting to gang up on Shen Bei.

They couldn't match him in strength, but they couldn't lose in a verbal battle.

Qi Chuanyu even opened his phone and started searching for various jokes to tease him.

But Shen Bei turned a deaf ear to all of it.

His spiritual energy surge had already connected to the top of Niu Yanben's head.

With a thought.

Absorbing Skill!

Instantly.

In Shen Bei's vision, a milky white True Qi, like a ghost, emerged from the top of Niu Yanben's head.

It floated along the spiritual channel and landed in Shen Bei's palm.

This True Qi then entered a dedicated meridian channel, bypassed the five internal organs and six viscera, entered the Dantian, and was stored little by little.

The speed was a bit slow.

But it was effective.

Moreover, Niu Yanben was still bragging and hadn't noticed anything unusual.

Shen Bei increased the drawing force.

And then.

The True Qi, which was originally like a trickle, instantly became like a gushing reservoir.

A large amount of True Qi was mercilessly extracted by Shen Bei.

Shen Bei cursed under his breath.

Too much was absorbed.

The Dantian couldn't store it all and was about to overflow.

At this moment, Shen Bei realized that he needed to continue Cultivating the Absorbing Skill.

Especially the storage capacity, which was related to the output that could be converted and Fused.

After all, once the storage was full, the remaining True Qi would run rampant, affecting his own True Qi circulation.

The next moment, Shen Bei clapped his hand in reverse, scattering all the excess True Qi.

A strong wind suddenly swirled around Shen Bei's feet, blowing outwards.

This caused everyone in the cafeteria to be startled.

Wind from nowhere...

Who's causing trouble?!

At this moment, Niu Yanben shivered all over.

His face was pale, his pupils dilated, his mouth slightly open, his expression filled with a strange surprise.

He spread his hands and looked down to examine his body.

Niu Yanben's mind was suddenly stirred, his hair stood on end, and he immediately let out a gut-wrenching roar:

"Holy cow! I think I'm leaking, heh!"

Qi Chuanyu: ???

Du Ziteng: Huh?

Liao Zhongyang: ...

Shen Bei: Uh...

"Why are you yelling?!" Qi Chuanyu patted Niu Yanben's shoulder, "If you could leak, Du Ziteng would be happy."

"Damn, your joke is like a shit-stirring stick." Du Ziteng rolled his eyes.

Niu Yanben's face was filled with a look of shock and incredulity, and he cried out, "No, listen to me, I really leaked! I have hardly any True Qi left, heh!"

Liao Zhongyang showed some disdain, "Do we have any red mushrooms in our food? Are you hallucinating? How could True Qi leak out?"

"Eat, eat." Shen Bei waved his hand, "Nonsense, it must have been a fart that escaped."

Niu Yanben's face turned red with anxiety, "It's true! Whoever lies is a turtle's grandson! My True Qi is gone! It seems like someone stole it, heh!"

"Then call the police." Shen Bei suggested.

Niu Yanben: ...

Damn.

Who would believe that if I called the police?!

Besides, True Qi can be slowly generated.

The police wouldn't even bother with him, and he might even be sent to a mental hospital.

Niu Yanben himself didn't believe it and began to deeply doubt life.

Indeed, a large portion of his True Qi was missing, just gone without a trace.

His brain's CPU was almost burned out, and he still couldn't figure out why this happened.

Niu Yanben scratched his head, "This is truly baffling. I'll have to ask a teacher tomorrow, heh."

Shen Bei rolled his eyes a few times; as long as he didn't ask Professor Gu Xinrou, Niu Yanben would probably never find the answer in his lifetime.

Shen Bei quickly finished eating, needing to rush back to continue Cultivating the Absorbing Skill and expand his Dantian further.

Moreover, he also needed to try to Fuse and convert Niu Yanben's True Qi for his own use.

These all required practice and real-world application.

"You guys take your time eating, I'm leaving first."

Shen Bei left in a hurry.

The Four-person Group waved their hands, telling Shen Bei to get lost and not interrupt their Third-Rank Martial Artist gathering.

Soon.

The Four-person Group ate their fill, patted their butts, and were about to leave the cafeteria.

At this moment, a cafeteria staff member came to their table with a smile, "Did you enjoy your meal?"

Qi Chuanyu, picking his teeth, looked cocky, "Yep, you clean up."

"Uh... that'll be five hundred eighty in total." The staff member handed over the menu.

"What?!"

Qi Chuanyu's toothpick instantly snapped, and he asked incredulously, "You want us to pay?"

"Yes."

"Holy cow!" Qi Chuanyu's eyes widened, "Didn't Shen Bei pay?"

The staff member shook his head.

"I... he..."

Qi Chuanyu's mouth twitched, and he was completely enraged.

The other three held their foreheads, silently shedding tears.

Qi Chuanyu spat, then asked, "We didn't eat much, just a few buns and stir-fries. Why is it so expensive?"

The staff member replied, "Shen Bei packed a Supreme dinner, and that's included here."

Qi Chuanyu: ...

Qi Chuanyu stiffened his neck and said to the others, "How about I suggest we hold a round table meeting and collectively vote to kick Shen Bei out of Zha Tian Gang?"
