Chapter 3: Go Eat Meat

Most importantly, the technique with which An Zheng threw the dagger left Kou Liu, who had already been astonished from the sidelines, even more shocked

Two people, leaning on each other's shoulders, gradually walked away. Du Shoushou would not know, nor would he think, that his life would change on this day

He turned his head to look at Gaodi, who was covering his ears and trembling. The look in Gaodi's eyes towards An Zheng was filled with fear, as if An Zheng had transformed into a devil at that moment

An Zheng's arm hardly moved, relying solely on the strength of a flick of his wrist. A child of this age would typically need to swing their arm to throw a dagger that far. However, An Zheng merely flicked his hand, not even moving his shoulder. Kou Liu, who could not cultivate and could only train his body, understood very well how to exert force correctly. The waist pushes the shoulder, and the shoulder drives the elbow; this is the most powerful way to generate force.

An Zheng is very certain that in such a place, there isn't even a single practitioner at the Minor Fulfillment level, so no one would notice his unusual presence. His soul is immensely powerful, which is why he was able to escape with his soul even when besieged by over a dozen Grand Fulfillment masters, although this escape was extremely brutal. The opponents were cunning and ruthless, and among the more than a dozen Grand Fulfillment masters, there were actually a few experts at the Minor Heavenly level who launched a sudden ambush against him; otherwise, it should not have been difficult for him to withdraw safely.

An Zheng tossed the silver in his hand and said: "Let's go eat meat"

The other children in the classroom exchanged glances, none daring to speak, not even to breathe. They looked at An Zheng in front of them, feeling as if they had suddenly entered another world. This classroom was familiar, the friends beside them were familiar, Mr. Liu was also familiar, but An Zheng was a stranger. A stranger who evoked fear.

The environment here, the way of life here may be repulsive, but at least it is safe here

I certainly ... ... it seems I haven't eaten meat yet

Du Shoushou's shoulders visibly trembled for a moment, as he found An Zheng's actions today quite strange. No one knew An Zheng better than he did; although An Zheng's appearance seemed unchanged, his gaze was entirely different. The former An Zheng had a timid and flickering gaze, never daring to make eye contact with others. However, the current An Zheng possessed a clear and confident gaze. That kind of confidence was as if he had once trampled the entire world beneath his feet. The former An Zheng had a timid and flickering gaze, never daring to make eye contact with others.

"Very well, you may go. Whenever you feel that your body has recovered, come to the Da Kou Hall to find me"

He felt fear, and he also felt humiliation. But for some reason, he did not even have the courage to resist... Then he cried... A guy who had bullied others for several years was actually scared to the point of tears. Gaodi stood up crying, covered his ears, and ran out.

So An Zheng smiled happily: "There is fear in your eyes, as well as hatred and ferocity. You want revenge, and I give you the opportunity... Today you only hit me once, so I will only collect this one debt. But do you remember how many times you hit me yesterday? If you don't remember, I will tell you tomorrow."

This is correct, let me ask you something, where is the meat delicious

You don't know much more, by the way, starting today I will take care of you

An Zheng extended his hand to catch the silver, smiled, and clasped his fists together: "Thank you, Mr. Liu."

However, although Du Shoushou suspected that An Zheng had changed, he could never have imagined that his good friend had actually passed away. The soul within this body had once truly trampled the entire world underfoot.

But you said you were going to treat the injury

An Zheng's strength lies merely in the force of his wrist, yet it is enough to make people take notice. Within this seemingly frail body, there appears to be immense potential. At this moment, Kou Liu made a decision without hesitation...! ... This kid, An Zheng, can be cultivated!

With a loud bang

I have only eaten the meat made at home... it's only when my elder brother comes back that I get to eat it once. How about you? Anzheng, do you know where the meat is delicious?

No one noticed that behind his seemingly happy smile lay a deep-seated disgust. An Zheng had obtained the memories of this child, and he understood the survival rules that existed in this place. This is the City of Eternal Illusions, the most direct and unmasked manifestation of malevolence in the world. To survive here, one must gain the recognition of these people, and only after becoming powerful can one leave this place

In any case, the others in the Nine Bandits were indifferent to the children, so they simply entrusted all of them to Bandit Six. The few others who occasionally came by did so merely out of whimsy, just to play around.

Just as An Zheng was contemplating these thoughts, he heard someone behind him tentatively calling his name. An Zheng turned around and discovered that it was Du Shoushou calling him. An Zheng felt a deep sense of gratitude towards this big child. If it were not for Du Shoushou's care, An Zheng might not have survived to this age. An orphan living in a place like Huanshi Changju could hardly survive so easily.

Ah? How could I not know that

What, do you feel unwilling?

After seeing the changes in An Zheng, Kou Liu decided to focus on nurturing this child in the future. He now realizes that he had previously misjudged the situation. Although Gao Di and the other older children are fierce, they are not good learners. Those who only understand fighting and competing have no future. An Zheng, despite his young age and short stature, clearly possesses greater potential.

"Today's class is canceled. You all carry Wang Meng and Wang Zhuang to the medical clinic."

An Zheng looked at Gao Di with a smile that was not quite a smile, and the mockery in his gaze sent chills down Gao Di's spine. Although An Zheng was clearly half a head shorter than him, he exuded an immense sense of pressure. An Zheng took a step forward, and Gao Di instinctively took a step back. As An Zheng advanced another step, Gao Di turned and ran away.

Kou Liu's heart trembled; this An Zheng suddenly seemed like a completely different person, and he hardly resembled a child at all! His speech was so calm, neither servile nor arrogant, and he appeared to be truly familiar with the human body. His previous knife techniques were swift and decisive, which could not be achieved without at least two years of training, unless An Zheng was a genius

Get lost

An Zhengdao: "I have been injured. Previously, Wang Meng and Wang Zhuang fought fiercely, and I feel that some of my internal organs must be damaged. I need to go to the medical clinic to have a look. Mr. Liu asked me to go with you, probably wanting to teach me something in private. However, if my body cannot be adjusted and recovered, I fear I won't have the life to learn anything from Mr. Liu."

This is the city of Illusory World, where almost every street has its own faction. Although the Nine Great Bandits sounds impressive, in fact, they are hardly significant in the Illusory World. No matter where it is, the true power always lies with those formidable cultivators. Among the Nine Great Bandits, only the eldest brother and the ninth brother are capable of cultivation. The eldest brother has limited aptitude and has not made any progress since reaching the second rank of the Opening Realm. The ninth brother, on the other hand, possesses decent aptitude, but is constrained by the lack of formal guidance, making it difficult for him to achieve significant advancement.

An Zheng, however, shook his head: "No."

However, it was I who always protected you in the past

Gao Di was nearly driven mad by this pressure, his eyes reddened: "An Zheng! If you don't dare to kill me, sooner or later I will kill you!"

The dagger flew past Gaudi's ear, severing one of his ears before embedding itself in the door frame. Had the dagger deviated even slightly, it would have pierced Gaudi's occipital region. The entire blade of the dagger was thrust into the door frame, indicating the tremendous force behind it. Therefore, even though the human skull is quite sturdy, if Guo Anzheng had truly intended to kill Gaudi, he could have done so just now.

Eating meat is the remedy for injuries

An Zheng walked over and easily pulled out the dagger that was deeply embedded in the door frame, shaking his head: "I won't kill them, at least not today. They have bullied me for several years; if I were to kill them so easily, how would I ever reclaim the debts from the bullying I endured? Today's debts must be settled today, yesterday's debts tomorrow, the day before yesterday's debts the day after tomorrow, and so on, until they have repaid all their debts."

An Zheng smiled at Gao Di and walked over to pat him on the shoulder. When his hand made contact with Gao Di's body, Gao Di involuntarily trembled in fear

Where are we going

An Zhengxiao became even happier: "That would be really great, I also do not want to live such a boring life in the future"

Do you want to kill him

So An Zheng smiled, walked over, and put his arm around Du Shoushou's shoulder: "Let's go!"

If you have the ability, then go ahead and kill me

The Illusory World of Eternal Residence is a remote place where the wickedness is of a lowly nature. Those who are truly powerful disdain to come to such a place, which is why An Zheng has decided to remain here. Since he has chosen to stay, he must endure his own disgust. First, he needs to gain a deeper understanding of this place, and then attempt to cleanse it of all its repulsiveness. If it were not for this rebirth, he might never have set foot in such a lowly place.

An... An contest?

He suddenly raised his voice and shouted, catching Gaodi off guard, who instinctively recoiled and stumbled, falling to the ground with a thud. His expression was one of immense anger; in the past, he had always been the one to bully others—who would dare to bully him? Now, An Zheng, who was considerably weaker than him, merely cast a cold glance in his direction, and he felt as if his heart was about to explode. The earlier shout was merely a reaction born from extreme fear.

After saying this, Kou Liu turned and left. When he reached the door, he stopped, took out a piece of silver from his pocket, and tossed it to An Zheng, saying: "Buy some meat to eat"

In order to prevent one's territory from being encroached upon by others, it is essential to continuously strengthen one's power. Therefore, in the city of Huanshi Changju, there is a school on every street, where the teachings are not academic knowledge but rather combat skills. The school is free, and children from the streets can enroll at will. However, there is a prerequisite: children who enter the school implicitly agree to join this gang in the future

Kou Liu's expression changed: "Are you rejecting me?"

Du Shoushou subconsciously asked a question

However, Kou Liu does not share this view. Kou Liu stated that although young people aged seventeen or eighteen are strong, they have little interest in learning. Even if they are interested, it is difficult to quickly grasp new concepts through temporary instruction. Children, on the other hand, are different; they are innocent and do not have their own ideas. If they are nurtured from the very beginning, it will not only develop their combat skills and survival abilities but, most importantly, cultivate their loyalty.

According to the opinions of the other eight members of the Nine Great Bandits, An Zheng, such a useless person, should have been kicked out long ago. However, Kou Liu had stated before that one should not expel a child simply because they are useless, as this would provoke resistance from others, making them feel that the Nanshan Street Academy is too harsh, which would deter others from sending their children there. The other eight members of the Nine Great Bandits have always held some prejudice against the academy. In their view, when recruiting younger brothers, they naturally prefer to select the young and strong, as training a child would take at least ten years before they could be of use, which is too far in the future.

Kou Liu glanced at the rear guard An Zheng and said, "You will come with me in a moment; I have some questions to ask you"

Well, I will listen to you from now on

I like the way you look at me

Kou Liu tested all the children in the school, and none of them possessed the physical constitution suitable for cultivation. If An Zheng were capable, Kou Liu would even consider sending An Zheng to Lao Jiu right now

Kou Liu asked.
