Crippled by Drugs (3)
His current body had already adapted to the stimulation of the Five Animal Hands Technique, so he could no longer grow his muscles and bones.
“Tomorrow is the Monthly First Evaluation again, but I entered Dragon Gate Pavilion a month and a half ago. I won’t participate in the assessment until next month. In other words, I still have a month to train the Five Animal Hands to 100% proficiency. I’ll give it a try!”
Lin Yan chanted in his heart, revealing a determined expression.
“The Spirit Recovery Pill has been consumed, and the Emerald Wind Powder is gone. I have to buy some more from Pang Tong.
“Also, there’s money. This bit of savings can’t afford such a consumption at all. If I sit and eat, I’ll end up empty-handed. I wonder if Pang Tong helped me find out where I can earn money…”
After stretching his muscles, Lin Yan pondered and slowly left.
However, about half an hour after he left.
Two figures slowly walked out from the dark shadows in the corner of the martial arts field.
The person on the left had praise, surprise, and regret on his face. His expression was rather complicated.
He was as burly as a giant bear and was the owner of Dragon Gate Pavilion. His surname was Pang and his name was Pang Yinlong.
The person next to him was sitting next to Pang Yinlong at the Monthly First Evaluation that day. His appearance was 30-40% similar to Pang Yinlong, but his figure was much thinner, like a skinny monkey.
He was Pang Yinlong’s younger brother and was also one of the two guest masters in Dragon Gate Pavilion other than the owner. His name was Pang Meng.
Pang Meng was the first to speak. “What do you think, Big Brother? You’ve lost the bet. Do you believe me now?”
Pang Yinlong clicked his tongue and sighed. “I didn’t expect there to really be a disciple from Wu Yard who can practice the Five Animal Hands Technique to its true form. Even if it’s only in the form of a deer, it’s really unbelievable.”
Pang Meng said, “That’s right. Back then, you were facing a real bear. After the expert gave you many pointers, you finally mastered the true form of the bear. This kid didn’t have anyone to guide him, but he was able to master the true meaning of one form out of thin air… He’s much more powerful than you!”
After saying that, Pang Meng���s body suddenly moved, as if he was sliding horizontally, to the right by half a foot.
As expected, Pang Yinlong’s large hand had already reached over, but he dodged it by a hair’s breadth.
Pang Yinlong’s face was originally dark, but when he saw that his brother’s movement technique was fast, his eyes lit up. “Ah Meng, your speed has improved recently. Come on, fight me!”
Pang Meng rolled his eyes. “Are you trying to beat me up because you lost the bet? You’re just a Noble Realm cultivator. Why are you being petty with me, a Tough Realm cultivator?”
Pang Yinlong’s face darkened. “You’re just thinking about my pot of jade ice wine! You’re deliberately plotting against me!”
“You were the one who made a bet with me and said that it was impossible for a disciple of Wu Yard to practice the Five Animal Hands better than you. Now, you’re denying it?”
Pang Yinlong’s face turned even darker. “Forget it, forget it. It’s just a pot of jade ice wine. Take it!”
“Hehe, thank you, Big Brother!”
Pang Meng immediately chuckled and returned to Pang Yinlong’s side.
Pang Yinlong looked in the direction where Lin Yan had left and sighed. “In the prefecture capital, the martial arts camp will specially capture five types of ferocious beasts for disciples to observe. There will also be brilliant instructors to guide them.
“But even so, only 10 to 20% of those can cultivate the true meaning of one form.”
“This kid has probably seen a real deer before, but he can rely on his martial arts intuition to reach this realm without anyone teaching him. In terms of the talent of the Five Animal Hands Technique, he’s probably even more talented than Mi Tai!”
Mi Tai had just entered the sect this month. In just more than 20 days, his blood energy had successfully transformed. The guy was a genius seed that he thought highly of.
Pang Meng curled his lips. “With this temperament, how can he compare to Mi Tai?
“If he was really a genius, he wouldn’t have foolishly eaten the Spirit Recovery Pill.
“Heh, they’re both commoners. Mi Tai has a genius temperament and proudly accepts challenges.
“This Lin Yan is short-sighted. He doesn’t even have the basic composure.
“It’s great now. The poison has damaged his foundation. His path of martial arts will be severed from now on. I’m afraid it’ll be too late to regret it in the future.”
Pang Tong was Pang Meng’s son.
Three days ago, Pang Meng saw Lin Yan practicing martial arts in the middle of the night at the martial arts arena. He was shocked on the spot, so he specially asked his son, Pang Tong, for information about Lin Yan.
After learning that he had bought the Spirit Recovery Pill and observing him for two days, he regretfully realized that Lin Yan had clearly eaten a lot of the Spirit Recovery Pill. His foundation was already crippled.
Since the man was crippled from taking drugs, he did not tell his big brother immediately. Instead, he set up a bet to cheat his big brother of his jade ice wine.
“Why do you think he took the Spirit Recovery Pill for no reason?”
“Because of stimulation. Pang Tong said that this kid should have wanted to hoard Spirit Recovery Pills to earn money.
“Perhaps it’s because after Mi Tai entered the sect, his performance was outstanding and agitated Lin Yan.
“It’s also possible that it has something to do with a girl called Yu Qian from Wu Yard. I heard that she entered the school at the same time as Lin Yan and is relatively close to him.”
“Anyway, young people are just competitive and lovey-dovey.”
Pang Yinlong shook his head. “It’s a pity. This kid only has talent, but he doesn’t have a compatible temperament.”
Pang Meng pursed his lips. “About this Lin Yan, since he’s crippled, why don’t we inform Du Fushan and send him to the Tiger Camp? It can also be considered as making the best use of him while he’s alive.”
The Dragon Gate Pavilion had two guest masters. One was Pang Meng, and the other was Du Fushan.
Pang Yinlong shook his head. “It’s a waste to die like this after cultivating true intent. Ever since Zang Wei lost his arm, he has been depressed. He’s not suitable to teach Wu Yard.
“Since Lin Yan has practiced the Five Animal Hands very well, I might as well let him be an assistant instructor in the future and help Zang Wei teach the Five Animal Hands Technique to the disciples of the Wu Yard. It will also show his value.”
Pang Meng clapped his hands. “That’s a good idea! Speaking of which, the Monthly First Evaluation is tomorrow. This Lin Yan is working so hard. He must be thinking of shocking everyone tomorrow and entering Wei Yard as a genius to suppress Mi Tai.”
Pang Yinlong nodded. “Alright, let’s give him a chance to make a name for himself. He can be a sharpening stone and give Mi Tai and the other disciples some pressure. After all, it won’t be long before the Genius Dingdeng Battle this time.”
Only then did the two of them turn around and leave, gradually disappearing into the night.
