Chapter 5: Going Back
As Shen Yun continued his physical training beside the river, his muscles strained against the resistance of the exercises. Each movement was deliberate, each punch and kick aimed at honing his body into a weapon of strength and agility.
Afterward, Shen Yun refreshed himself in the river and then returned to the cave.
Usually, the cave, where the spiritual liquid is stored, can be used once every three months for the best effect. Shen Yun came here regularly, but he didn't always temper his body. However, sometimes the little dragon also joined him.
Looking at the sleeping levitating little dragon, Shen Yun scratched its skin to wake it.
"Swip.....with little sleepy eyes, it looked at Shen Yun and nodded. The little dragon knew that Shen Yun was leaving. And he might come back later. Although the little dragon knew this, it couldn't change anything. It could only wait for Shen Yun to become strong through their spiritual practice together. This spiritual practice is done by beasts and humans who have established a blood connection with each other. They can use the blood essence to enhance each other's talents.
However, although the little dragon knew, with blood they can indeed share the talent, but he didn't know that, it requires the technique, that has extinct.
The little dragon knew that its talent was very low, and there was rarely a chance that it could evolve into a true dragon. However, it didn't mean that it was willing to be Shen Yun's pet because of its talent, but because of the friendship between them.
"Okay....bye!" Caressing the little dragon's body, Shen Yun took out his bicycle and rode back to Donghai City.
Soon, half an hour later, on the outskirts of the city...
"Woohh.....!" looking at the bustling city, with people and merchants in their shops, Shen Yun couldn't help but think of his friend from his previous life.
Although he never helped him directly, if there was a crisis, he was always there to support him. And he knew his friend since he was in sixth grade.
And that guy was a terrifically smart person. Because of him, his company had avoided bankruptcy many times.
He just hoped that he could return to Earth. Even if he went back, aside from his friend, he didn't want to meet anyone now.
And now, he had already given up on the love he had. After all, she already had a boyfriend, and she seemed to be living a happy life. But sometimes, Shen Yun was also confused by her actions. Even though she had a boyfriend, it seemed like she was using him like a tool. Her behavior with him was no worse than with her boyfriend. They would hold hands, watch movies, and play together, and she would even share her sadness with him. Sometimes, she would jump on his body and do something weird, as if she were his master, able to control him. Even though Shen Yun didn't mind and accepted everything, everything was shattered that night.
He even wondered if life was playing with him. First, he was an orphan, then he found love, but she was with someone else, then he came to another world. Again, a single parent. Would he experience the same tragic experience of love?
He didn't know, but now Shen Yun didn't have the power to love anyone. It's not that he couldn't love anyone, but the issue was trust.
Actually, he was an overthinker, and most of the time, he already had plans and their outcomes decided in his mind, so he always overthinks what to do.
For more than eight years, even in his mother's womb, he never forgot that moment of proposal. And to come out of the shock, he had first died for a time, wasting at least three years of cultivation.
Here, even in the clan, you could start body refining at the age of five. Although Shen Yun was very talented and had almost completed his extreme realm in just two years, those three years of loss were not easily bridged. And if you wanted, then you had to work harder.
Arriving at the Zhao Clan...
"Hey, look, this bastard came again. God knows where he goes and always comes back three or four days later."
In the Zhao Clan, as Shen Yun was returning home, he heard the clan members talking about him.
To be truthful, it didn't matter to him. With experience from his previous life, he knew that life without parents was extremely hard, no matter which world you were in. So it didn't affect him too much now.
"Hmmmph...I don't know why the patriarch hasn't removed this guy from the clan!" A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy couldn't help but say next to him. This boy was very jealous of Shen Yun because Shen Yun's skin was very smooth and white, with a very handsome face. Although Shen Yun was young now, the adult age of this world was fifteen years old, and from Shen Yun's face, anyone could guess that he would be very handsome in the future.
Shen Yun also heard the boy's words but couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Haha...hah....! Why should he remove me? What can't you?" Shen Yun turned back and asked. Although there was no privilege in the clan, he didn't mind enjoying it.
"Hmmph....first of all, you have a foreign surname. That's enough reason to remove you from the clan!" The boy said loudly.
"Oh...because I have a different surname than why?" Shen Yun raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion.
"Yes, because of this!" The boy nodded.
"Ohh...I have heard that there are many orphan children in the clan and there are elders in the clan who have different surnames. Why haven't you removed them from the clan?" Shen Yun also wanted to let these kids entertain him.
"Hmmph...they are contributing to the clan and they didn't betray the clan like your mother did." That kid said loudly.
"Hahh....hah...what Zhao Fu said was indeed right. After all, they didn't betray the clan at least, like that bitch."
"Haha...hah...!" The crowd followed suit.
"Huh...!" Taking a deep breath, Shen Yun raised his head and looked in the direction of the person who spoke. He saw a young boy, thirteen or fourteen years old, with long black hair and rich clothes. When Shen Yun noticed this guy, who hadn't even reached the level of the spirit condensation realm at the age of thirteen, his mouth curled up and a terrifying hidden smile appeared on his face.
He approached the boy and asked, "Were you the one who said something about my mother?"
The tone of his question was simple, neither arrogant nor humble.
"Yes..! I did, so what? Isn't she a bitch who left the clan for another man, and when he abandoned her, she returned to the clan," the boy replied arrogantly to Shen Yun.
"Ohh....!" Shen Yun said lightly, and his fist clenched tightly, then suddenly landed on the boy's face.
"How dare you insult my mother!" Another fist landed on the other side of his face, breaking his teeth instantly.
Puff.....!
These two fists were enough to kill a waste like him, but Shen Yun held back.
Wwoo....!
As this happened, the people around Shen Yun, mostly young people between 16-17 years old, whose highest cultivation was only at the 5th-6th stage of the spirit condensation Realm, were shocked by Shen Yun's power. Even if they were in the spirit condensation realm, to incapacitate someone about to step into the spirit condensation realm with only two fists, they couldn't do it.
In Donghai Province, if you could cultivate your physical body up to 20,000-30,000 kilograms of force, you could still be invincible at the same realm. And Shen Yun's current power was around 95,000 after coming out of the spiritual liquid pool. Even if they were in the realm of Spirit Condensation, they would be beaten to death by Shen Yun.
"You....how could you be so strong?" The boy, now beaten and with his teeth fallen out, asked horrifically while looking at Shen Yun.
Shen Yun came closer to him, raised the boy by his neck in the air, and said, "I am forgiving you this time, but if there is a next time, I won't hesitate to kill you, even if you are from the clan."
After that, he threw the boy to the ground and looked at the others with cold eyes, making them think twice before they acted.
Then, Shen Yun left from there.
In Shen Yun's hut.
There were actually two huts, one for Shen Yun and another for his mother, Zhao Xin'er.
When Shen Yun came back, he saw his mother making food for him. Although the food was for a cultivator of the Spirit Condensation realm, because in the spirit condensation realm, you could use spiritual power to replenish energy, food was still necessary for Shen Yun, who was still in the Body Refining realm and needed to replenish his energy through food.
"Mother..?" He said, smiling, which was completely different from just now.
"Have you come back?" As soon as Shen Yun spoke, his mother's soft voice replied. After all, she knew that her son went to cultivate in the forest and usually came back 2-3 days later. Although sometimes she worried, she couldn't stop her child from becoming strong, and she even supported her son.
"Go and freshen up, mother will prepare delicious food for you!" She said, coming out in front of Shen Yun and rubbing his head.
"Okay..!" Nodding at his mother's words, Shen Yun also left to freshen up.
"Zhao Xin'er, come out and give me an explanation of what your son has done to my son."
At this time, an angry voice came from outside Shen Yun's house.
