146: Chapter 146: To train the body first, train the brain!

Hegemon Body Sect.

Panshi Peak.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Continuous roars emanated from a Cultivation chamber reinforced by a Formation, causing the entire mountain peak to tremble.

Inside the Cultivation chamber, Gu Qing's eyes were bloodshot. He punched the black wall, which flickered with runes, one after another.

The terrifying immense force caused the wall to indent and cracks to spread, only to slowly repair under the effect of the Formation.

"Die! Die! Die for me!"

Gu Qing roared to his heart's content, each punch filled with intense destructive desire.

Suddenly, the communication talisman in the Cultivation chamber lit up, and Luo Li's voice entered Gu Qing's ears:

"Junior Brother Gu Qing, a powerful Fellow Daoist wants to spar with you. I wonder..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Qing punched the wall and roared:

"Scram!"

As the third on the deity transformation prodigy ranking, he, Gu Qing, was not someone any random cat or dog could challenge!

The communication talisman lit up again:

"The Fellow Daoist who wants to spar with you has strength comparable to the top three on the deity transformation prodigy ranking."

Luo Li said with some hesitation.

He estimated Su Mo's strength to be at the level of the top five on the deity transformation prodigy ranking, but if he said it was too low, Gu Qing probably wouldn't pay any attention, so he chose a middle-ground ranking.

After he finished speaking, the Cultivation chamber suddenly fell silent.

A few breaths later.

Boom!!

The stone door of the Cultivation chamber was suddenly shattered from the inside.

Gu Qing's muscular figure strode out from the dust, a violent Aura emanating from his body.

"Where is the person?"

He growled, his voice full of hostility.

Seeing Gu Qing's current state, Luo Li suddenly regretted agreeing to Su Mo, and couldn't help but feel a chill for him.

"At the Sect's training ground..."

Gu Qing sneered, and shot into the sky like a cannonball, heading towards the training ground with astonishing Aura.

"I'm going to tear him apart!"

The wall was just an inanimate object; even smashing it wouldn't quell the raging anger in his heart.

What he needed was a living opponent who could endure torture, struggle, and scream!

Seeing this, Luo Li also rushed to the training ground; he couldn't just watch the situation spiral out of control.

If Gu Qing really went mad and tried to kill, he couldn't even imagine the consequences!

"They all say Body Refining starts with the brain, so why is this Gu Qing still a brainless idiot..."

...Su Mo was observing the Cultivation of the Hegemon Body Sect Disciples around the training ground.

Their methods of honing themselves were very primitive, but effective.

Under gravity, they engaged in unrestricted mutual combat in pairs, fist meeting flesh, each attack bringing a spray of blood.

Only when they fainted or completely lost the ability to move would they be thrown into a prepared medicinal liquid pool to soak.

There wasn't much to see among the Male Cultivators; what was more eye-catching were the rare female Body Refining Cultivators.

They wore special chest wraps and shorts, revealing well-defined, powerful waists and limbs.

Their eyes were sharp, their moves fierce yet agile when striking, exuding a wild beauty that made many Male Cultivators turn their heads.

Su Mo couldn't help but look at them a few more times with appreciative eyes.

Suddenly, he sensed a fierce Aura rapidly approaching from a distance behind him, heading towards their location.

Heaven Battle and Li Xing reacted extremely quickly, their expressions slightly changing, and immediately pulled everyone back several feet.

Boom!!

A deafening roar echoed.

Where they had originally stood, a huge deep pit had been smashed.

In the dust, Gu Qing's figure slowly straightened, his bloodshot eyes sweeping over everyone.

"The one who wants to challenge me..."

"Is it you? Or you?"

His gaze fell on Heaven Battle and Li Xing, completely ignoring Su Mo.

Su Mo frowned.

Gu Qing's Aura and the Killing Intent emanating from his eyes were completely unlike what a normal person should have.

Instead, he resembled a mental patient with severe mania.

"Gu Qing! What are you going crazy about?!"

Li Xing shouted sternly.

Having fought Gu Qing several times, he clearly saw that Gu Qing's current state was very different from before, with a hint of Qi Deviation.

"Noisy!"

Gu Qing growled, ignoring his question. He pushed off the ground, which then exploded, and punched towards Li Xing.

Just as Li Xing was about to counter, his vision blurred, and a figure emitting a soft white light suddenly appeared in front of him.

Seeing this, he breathed a sigh of relief and stopped his actions.

Although Su Mo didn't know how to treat mental illness, he knew that no matter what kind of mental illness, a reboot would always help for a while.

Facing Gu Qing's ferocious punch, powerful enough to shatter mountains, Su Mo merely took a step back, and his body glowed brightly.

A slightly smaller fist instantly struck Gu Qing's glabella.

Bang!

Gu Qing's forward momentum came to an abrupt halt. The immense force impacting his forehead made his vision go black, and he was sent flying backward, slamming heavily onto the ground.

A deeper pit, even larger than the previous one, appeared on the training ground.

"Is that all?"

Li Xing stared at Su Mo, dumbfounded, and muttered:

"I thought... he'd at least last a couple of moves..."

The fight ended a bit too quickly.

Gu Qing was knocked down with one punch before he even activated his Domain.

Before he could finish speaking, a figure leaped out of the pit.

"Calmed down?"

"Can you speak properly now?"

Su Mo said indifferently.

Gu Qing touched his glabella, shook his somewhat dazed head, his eyes no longer fierce as before.

"You're the one who wants to spar with me?"

He sized up Su Mo, whose depth he couldn't discern, and regained a trace of rationality.

Although Su Mo's punch didn't break his defense, being able to hit his forehead and make him lose consciousness for an instant, this strength indeed reached the level of the top three on the deity transformation prodigy ranking.

The blood-red color in Gu Qing's eyes began to rise again, and he unconsciously licked the corner of his mouth.

Torturing such an opponent brought the most pleasure... "Who are you?"

"Don't speak yet, let me ask you something?"

Su Mo interrupted him mercilessly, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable meaning.

"Do you know Junior Sister Xiao from Heaven Battle Peak?"

The three words "Junior Sister Xiao" instantly caused Gu Qing to erupt again.

He forced out a few words through gritted teeth:

"What's your relationship with her?"

"Me?"

Su Mo's lips curved into a faint smile.

"I suppose I'm her... Dao Companion whom she hasn't seen in a long time..."

"Die!!!"

"Bedrock Hegemon Body – Activate!"

"Domain – Activate!"

Gu Qing instantly lost his last shred of sanity; Su Mo's words directly ignited the anger in his heart.

His skin turned dark gold, and his entire body's vital Qi completely erupted.

At the same time, a dense, dark golden Domain instantly enveloped Su Mo.

Su Mo only felt a heavy pressure, his body becoming hundreds of times heavier, and the air seemed to turn into viscous mud.

However, Su Mo merely frowned, and the light around him intensified even further.

This madman truly cannot be judged by common sense... He shook his head helplessly, his gaze becoming a little more serious.

"It seems a reboot is no longer effective..."
