Chapter 9: Who Steps on Whom

After Lin Yang finished speaking, his body underwent a transformation. Ma Wu sensed a familiar feeling, which was indeed the power of the primordial spirit

Ma Wu also gathered his spirits, realizing that this time it would not be easy to handle. Lin Yang threw a punch, which shimmered with strands of golden light. Ma Wu managed to dodge this punch just in time, but the force of the punch created a concave impact behind him. The power of this punch was indeed formidable

Some new disciples nearby laughed heartily upon hearing the man's words, including several women who directed their gazes at him, occasionally casting what they believed to be flirtatious glances.

Then the disciple said that they were all beaten by Ma Wu. Upon mentioning Ma Wu, Wankongxing recalled his own disgraceful incident. In a moment of frustration, he could not contain himself and shouted: Ma Wu!

Lin Yang noticed that the people around him were looking down on Ma Wu, and his desire to humiliate Ma Wu grew even stronger. He said to Ma Wu, "Brother Ma, instead of working in the kitchen, you've come here. There are no meat bones here."

Listening to these words, Lin Yang felt a deep sense of bitterness in his heart. Who would have thought that their formidable Senior Brother Lin, in their eyes, was actually struggling painfully at this moment. He had originally thought that he could resolve the situation with a single punch using his primordial spirit, but he never expected Ma Wu to be so agile. He simply could not land a hit. Lin Yang had only recently begun to harness his primordial spirit, and he was not very familiar with it. Holding on for this long was already quite an achievement. Once he could no longer call upon his primordial spirit, relying solely on his physical strength to fight back would truly mean he was just going to take a beating.

Ma Wu listened to Lin Yang's words, and the anger he had finally managed to suppress erupted once again. In a lowered voice, he said: "There are indeed no meat bones here. However, there is plenty of dog feces. It is extremely foul-smelling, and it must have been left just recently." Ma Wu's remark was unmistakably directed at the disciples. The dog feces were still fresh. Those disciples had just entered the sect, so of course, it was fresh.

Ma Wu watched as a group of people rushed towards him, feeling utterly powerless to resist. A kick landed on his face, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. Another punch followed. Ma Wu surrendered completely, enduring whatever blows came his way.

Ma Wu did not give those people a chance to react, charging into the crowd like a leopard. As Ma Wu lay on the ground, his exhausted body surprisingly began to recover under the blows of those people. The sensation of muscle contraction reemerged. Ma Wu felt as if he had boundless strength.

Ma Wu vaguely opened his eyes and saw a man beside him. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be that lewd man.

Upon hearing the man's words, some people ceased their beating of Ma Wu. They looked at this meddlesome man. The man leisurely gazed at them and said: "With all of you here, I don't even regard you in my eyes."

Upon hearing Lin Yang's words, everyone understood. It turned out that Ma Wu had already lost his strength. This was not merely a matter of being at their mercy; they all rushed towards Ma Wu, punching and kicking him.

Lin Yang's primordial spirit power was completely depleted. However, he did not want to let Ma Wu escape. He shouted to his companions: "This kid has already been drained of his strength by me. Everyone, let's go together"

Lin Yang, seeing Ma Wu dodge, followed up with another punch. Ma Wu evaded once more, but a piece of his clothing was torn by the force of the punch. Observing that Lin Yang had the upper hand, a group of new disciples began to cheer for him

It turns out that Senior Brother Lin has already mastered the primordial spirit; in that case, Ma Wu will be dealt with. The new disciples began to discuss Lin Yang's transformation in hushed tones. The few women looked at Lin Yang with increasingly infatuated gazes.

As they looked at everyone lying on the ground, some who were eager to act hesitated. A few women also gasped softly. Lin Yang's expression was as if he had just eaten something foul. The new disciples shifted their gaze from Ma Wu to Lin Yang, hoping that this master would teach Ma Wu a lesson

Although I am somewhat lecherous, I do have my principles. Brother, have you forgotten that a few days ago, if you hadn't stopped me in front of everyone, I would have truly done something to that ugly woman? With my temperament, I would not have survived.

Xia Jian, despicable. This name truly suits you, especially with your imposing demeanor. Ma Wu chuckled. It seems that this lecherous man's parents had foresight, knowing their son would grow up to be so lewd. What a fitting name they chose.

"You are awake; you are truly impressive. You managed to take down so many at once," said the lewd man upon seeing Ma Wu wake up

Ma Wu also said to the sleazy man: "After all this time, I still don't know your name"

Zhao Biao lunged towards Ma Wu, a smirk appearing at the corner of Ma Wu's mouth. Ma Wu's body, honed through the practice of ancient texts, was exceptionally hard. The force of a single punch could knock down a bull

Ma Wu also recognized that this man was indeed one of the recent disciples of Wan Kongxing. His surname was Lin and his given name was Yang, possessing a mid-level Huang grade primordial spirit. He acted as a leader among the new disciples. It seemed he was accustomed to superiority, displaying a disdainful attitude towards Ma Wu, as if he could crush him like an ant in the blink of an eye

Senior Brother Lin, kill this ungrateful thing

One punch, one punch, yet another punch. In total, several punches were thrown. However, none landed on Ma Wu. The force of the punches was gradually diminishing. The power of the primordial spirit was nearly exhausted. Lin Yang found himself in a difficult position. The continuous high concentration and evasion had also left Ma Wu completely worn out. Ma Wu sensed that it would not be long before he could no longer hold on.

Just as Ma Wuxia and Jian were discussing among themselves, Wan Kong walked in

After a while of fighting between the two, Lin Yang first withdrew his fist, stepping out of Ma Wu's attack range. Sweat dripped down his chin. Ma Wu also sighed in relief after Lin Yang stepped back, breathing heavily.

A single sentence ignited the fury of the crowd. The people were approaching this oblivious individual. At that moment, Ma Wu suddenly stood up and said to them: "You can have your fun. Now it's my turn to enjoy myself."

Lin Yang looked at Ma Wu and said, "I didn't expect you to have some skills, but they were defeated by you simply because they have yet to master the manipulation of their primordial spirit. Otherwise, you would have met a tragic end. Unfortunately for you, you encountered me."

Seeing Zhao Biao lying on the ground, Lin Yang was also surprised. He did not expect Ma Wu to have such skill. Those nearby believed that Ma Wu had accidentally struck Zhao Biao. Some women even looked down on Ma Wu. They did not realize the power of Ma Wu's previous punch

Ma Wu recalled the incident of taking Jia Cui'er's handkerchief and couldn't help but smile. The muscles in his face moved, and he kept grinning.

Wankong had nothing to do, so he decided to check on the progress of the new disciples' training. When he arrived at the training ground, he saw the disciples lying on the ground one by one. He was immediately taken aback and helped one of the groaning disciples to his feet, asking what had happened.

A robust-looking man shouted after finishing his meal: "You old man. Today, I will make you eat dog shit." The speaker was Zhao Biao from Lin Yang's group. Although Zhao Biao possessed a lower-grade Yuan Shen, these new disciples had not yet been able to harness it, making him comparable to an ordinary person.

It was you who put me in this situation, how could you possibly save me

Brother Lin, you truly live up to being the new star of our Xuan Yin Sect. From now on, the Xuan Yin Sect will flourish under your leadership

Once again, a brazen new disciple launched an attack on Ma Wu. Ma Wu dealt with each one with a single punch.

In a short period, Ma Wu knocked each of these individuals to the ground, leaving no one, not even the few women, unscathed. In the end, only Lin Yang remained. At that moment, Ma Wu's body could no longer endure and he fainted.

Just as people were brutally mistreating the horse at noon, a man approached. He said to them: "A group of people beating one. Do you have no shame? You may not care, but we of the Xuan Yin Sect still do"

"Brother Lin, if you defeat him, I will be yours tonight." A seductive female voice came through.

As Ma Wu approached, he swung his fist, landing a solid blow on Zhao Biao's face. In an instant, Zhao Biao was like a kite with a broken string, flying several meters away. Zhao Biao's robust physique was no illusion; after taking a punch from Ma Wu, he remained conscious and spat out a mouthful of blood. Watching Ma Wu charge at him again, Zhao Biao was somewhat careless. However, he quickly regained his composure and dodged Ma Wu's punch. Following the momentum of his dodge, he kicked out, striking Zhao Biao in the groin. No matter how tough Zhao Biao was, as a man, that area was as fragile as porcelain. This time, Zhao Biao, in pain, covered his groin with both hands, unable to muster any strength.

The lewd man proudly said: "I have a good name. I am called Xia He * Tu * Shujian. Just listen to this name, and you will know that I will be sharp like a sword and straight as an arrow in the future"

After Ma Wu finished scolding, a young man walked out with a grin and looked at Ma Wu, saying: "I thought it was someone important, spewing nonsense. Turns out it's our big brother Ma."

"Ma Wu, you actually dare to strike my disciples. Have you eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard?" Wan Kongxing did not allow Ma Wu to say a word and pulled him towards the Punishment Hall of the Xuan Yin Sect.

Xia Jian could not interject, and in a moment of urgency, hurriedly sought out his master

Seeing Ma Wu being beaten, Lin Yang couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. Ma Wu's consciousness began to blur. The attacks on his body grew increasingly severe. Some new disciples shouted arrogantly, "Aren't you quite impressive? Why are you now like a dead dog? Hahaha..."

Ma Wu was walking when suddenly a stone hit him on the head. He turned around to look, but everyone else acted as if it had nothing to do with them. Ma Wu turned back and continued walking, when another stone came flying at him. This time, Ma Wu was furious and shouted at the group of new disciples: "Who is that little turtle, thinking I'm an easy target?"

"So, I suppose I owe you a favor, and this time I will repay it." The lewd man continued.

The man grasped Lin Yang's hand and said with a smile, "Don't bring shame to the Xuan Yin Sect like this in the future. Also, one must respect a man who fights until the very last moment." After saying this, he directly threw Lin Yang aside and carried Ma Wu out of the training ground.

Watching this sudden scene, the man secretly admired Ma Wu's perseverance. Even in such a state, he could still stand up and fight. What a strange person. Lin Yang was also taken aback, watching as Ma Wu's face began to contort into a grimace after he fell to the ground. He picked up a stone and struck it towards Ma Wu's head.
