2 CHAPTER 2: STRENGTHENING

1 Year later...

Li Yangde: "Damn those parents of mine. This crib looks like more of a cage than a crib. I'm not a dog!"

What people hear: "Dou~ goa goa guu. Da dai owww waaa. Da paw wawa!"

During the first few months, since Yangde want to strengthen his body, the only way was to rough it up. He tried dropping from the crib, dropping from the stairs and even droping while his parents are holding him. Bruce and Chun are now afraid to hold Yangde since he always seems to fall. They ended up locking him in a cage and made it look like a crib to prevent him from falling.

Li Chun: "Haaa~ he's angry again. I don't know motherhood is so hard. How is he always falling but the doctor said he is fine. He fell from the second floor and I saw blood, but in a little while there are no scars or bleeding and the blood on the ground is dried up. Is my son a mutant or something?"😥

Li Bruce: "Well, atleast he doesn't cry at night. We get plenty of sleep unlike my co workers in which their baby cry the whole night."

Li Chun: " I know. Until he can walk, the cage stays!"

After Yangde heard that he maximize all his effort to learn how to walk.

Li Yangde: "I need to get walking mastered. Crawling is almost in mastered so all I need is balance."

Yangde tried to stand while supporting himself with the bars in the cage. He keeps falling down due to lack of strength on the legs. He also tried to master talking. He. only got 2 teeth so it's more like spitting than talking. His tongue is supersized since its a baby tongue. So when he say his name Yangde, it's sounded like "thae". He was out of breath just for 2 syllable. So he needs to practice voicing out more than 2 syllables.

It taken a month to start walking and another month to get a few sentence out.

Li Yangde: "Mama! Mi ley ouf da kayj. Mama Mi ley ouf da kayj.."😢

Li Chun: "Ou~ You can talk now. If I let you out, you will not fall or bump to anything. Do you understand!"😡

Li Yangde: "ou!" while he nodded

Li Chun was surprise he understand it at 1 year and 3 months old.

Li Chun: "Hahaha. My bany is a genius!"😍

Li Chun took him out of the cage and kiss him many times.😘😘😘

Li Yangde: "Moooom~"😥

In the next few months, he behaved and delayed hus training. At night when all were asleep, he escape into his dimension. He has a screen that can see if someone is coming close to the crib so he can appear back in his crib.

Li Yangde: "Haaa~ finally back home. This world is my home. Hahaha I love you home!."

In his world, the dimension is always bright but no sun. The land stretched out mile and miles away. It has a lake with a big spirit vein inside and on the shore was all pearls but was in fact spirit stones. The whole enviorment was full of profound energies. He can only absorb some of them or he will explode. Since he is just a baby, he can only absorb a very tiny amount to his heart and blood. He will soon start his hundred days foundation. He doesn't want to do it yet since his small arms and legs prevent him from doing the strengthening externally. Internal strengthening is already above the external strengthening so he was imbalanced. He need to focus on building up his body. He started jumping, but since he just learned how to walk, he always fall down. His balance is way off. He tried to do push ups but his head is too big that it keeps bumping to the ground.

Li Yangde: "This is not working out. Haaa~ I can only wait to grow up until I reach 4 years old.... The land need some fruit trees. I think I will start collecting seeds and see if I can grow some in here."

In the next few years. Li Yangde, stealthly stole some change from his parents. He also went to the garden and started picking out part of plants. When eating fruits, he ask for the seeds. He had a lot of watermelon seeds and apple seeds. He wanted a banana, but you need a banana with roots or the heart of the banana. When they go to the market, when no one is looking. He sent tomatoes, potatoes, pineapples, oranges, chili, and other various vegtables. At night he planted it on his field. He set aside 3 acres for his fruit trees, an acre each for vegtables.

When he went with his dad to a hardware store, he also started stealing stuff. He can put anything into his dimension but it has to be 3 meters away from his reach. He made sure to wait when his dad is not looking. The biggest thing he took was a shed. People in the hardware store was clueless. They did not put a camera in the shed isle because the shed is to big to miss. For furnitures, he went with his mom to IKEA store. When his mom is not looking "Swoooosh" Furnitures disappear.

At night, he set up plenty solar panels he stole and power converters. He also have laptops and desktops. He have 3 big sheds. He furnished one with shelves to put all harvested fruits and vegtables. The next shed is for supplies and equipments. The 3rd shed is furnished like a house except without a bathroom. Everything is powered by the solar panels. He went to the internet to learn indoor plumbing and waste removals. He also study filtering and recycling waste. He wanted to make a full bathroom and kitchen with running water, excwpt the water is from the lake which waa spirit water. The dimension can connect outside, so he access his parents internet access. He studied everything especially the knowhow from youtube. He also learned how to hack.

For the a year, he constantly steal and upgrade his dimension home. His physical workout is harvesting the fruits and vegtables. As he can control the enviorment, he made it rain every other day and for some reason, the growth rate of all plants and trees is 10 times faster. A month is all that is needed to grow an apple tree. A day is only needed for vegtables. So it was a constant workout everyday. He also started making indoor plumbing and filtering system. He also started creating a waste management system. He knew it will take awhile, but with each day. A little here and a little there and next thing you knew it your on your way.

3 years later

He was now 5 years old. For a kid, he was buffed up. He trained in the family martial arts which was. a mixture of Kenpo Karate, aikido and taekwando. His mother beat him uo everyday but with his rapid regeneration, it was nothing to him. He never get tired due to it to so he trained some more.

Li Chun: "Man, Yangde is a monster. He is only 5 years old and already not making me hold back. That's my son for you. Pure genius. Hahaha!"😄😄😄

Li Yangde: "Damn this amazon woman. She doesn't hold back. Even grown ups will be knocked dead with her punch. I'm really glad I have regeneration. I feel sorry for my dad. I hear her sister and mother in law is twice as powerful. Uuuurrrrrgh"😲 (He said silently to his thoughts)

His mom Li Chun was an interpol agent. She doesn't know his strong she is. But the criminals all was severely injured in the hospitals. Most are crippled when they were captured. Li Chun was demoted a couple of times already for using excessive force and she's nit even using a gun or a stick. It was pure strength. Unknown to him, his grandmother is a cultivator and also his aunt. That was the reason why his mother is weaker than them. Li Chun was the baby of her family and was a failure in cultivation but was stronger than any regular mortal. She was as strong as a cultivator who opened their heart acupoints and finished the hundred day foundation building.

Li Yangde went to his dimension at night. He was halfway done building his mansion. It has indoor plumbing and fully furnished 1st floor. He is working on the second floor. He ran out of cement and steel beams. He have to convince his dad to go back to the hardware store. He also wants to get paint.

In the newspaper, it reads. "Mysterious robbers still not found. Detectives still dumbfounded at the amount of objects stolen."

Li Yangde: "Ooops! I think I over did it. Maybe I'll stop and just leave it one story high. So now, I'll just need roofing materials then."

In the next months. The mansion was finished. The pantry was fully stocked. The 10 fridge was also fully stocked. The warehouse was full of spirit fruits and spirit vegtables. Nothing rots in his dimension space. even milk that supposed to have expired 3 years ago still taste like new.

He experimented and switched the fruits in the house with spirit fruits and spirit vegtables and see if his parents becomes powerful.

Li Chun: "Hmmm! Is it me or these apples taste too good to be apples."

Li Bruce: "Really? Let me see!"

(Crunch)

Li Bruce had his eye widened.

Li Bruce: "O my God! These apples are amazing!"

Li Chun: "See! I told you. "

While they were eating, they felt even more powerful. They also started to cook the vegtables and dinner.

After a week of eating spirit fruits and spirit vegtables. Both his parents filled up their eye acupoints without knowing. They just somehow knew what to do almost instinctively. When his mom opened her eye acupoint she got an ability of slow sight, which slow down everything around her but in reality her eyes are just processing faster than anyone. Li Bruce did not get any ability.

They both started buying a lot of fruits and vegtables while Li yangde switched them off with his spirit fruits and spirit vegtables at night.

Li Yangde also acquired something from filling up his eye acupoint. It was appraisal. A s-grade skill. He was happy to get it. But he can only use it at a limited amount of time and his eye would hurt.

He looked at the mirror and used appraisal. Nothing happened. Then he used appraisal kon objects.

[Table]

- size 4X4 feet

- made of california red wood

- double stained

- 10 years old family heirloom

Li Yangde: "I see it only works on objects. Let's see on fruits."

[Spirit apple fruit]

- 1 year old

- contains small amount of profound energy

- will help cultivator the same way as a high grade strengthening pill.

Li Yangde: "Wow! High grade strengthening pill. I'll be rich in the future."

Soon he started school and cultivated at night. His parents began cultivating thanks to his grandma and aunt that taught them cultivation. His dad Li Bruce became the master of the dojo after work since Bruce now can stand up to his in laws and also got addicted in cultivating. Once a week they all bath in a bath house due to all the black sludge that permeate out of their skin. His dad also became handsome and his mom became miss universe beauty. Li Yangde was also surrouded by girls in his class, but worst is he was surrounded by the guys in his class. His beauty was mesmerizing, even male teachers are questioning their sexuality.

Due to the unwanted attention. He shaved his head bald and wear a hat and eye glasses. He still look cool but now the guys stayed away and the girls still attracted to him. Soon all the guys are bald. He became a trend setter. Other school laugh out loud at the males of our school, but when they saw Li Yangde. They were mesmorize and soon all district school males have bald head and eye glasses. The news made a report on the wave that was hitting china of bald students. When the reporter asked, they pointed at tge direction of Li Yangde. When Li yangde was interviewed in front of the camera, all viewers and the reporters was mesmorize at the most beautiful child in china.

Li Yangde: "Uh miss reporter san. Hello. Is the interview over.

The reporter just stared at him in awe.

Li Yangde: "Haaa~" (sigh) He looked at the camera and said "Hi viewers, since i don't know what to say. I only advice you to be your own person. You don't have to go with the trend of everyone. Be yourself. So umm...that's it bye!"😄

Reporter: "The angel smiled at me...."😍

The next day, millions of males became bald with eyeglasses. The president of china also went bald with eyeglasses. And believe it or not it looked better on him.

Li Chun: "Aaaaah! My baby is on TV! And he looked gooooooood!"😍

Li Bruce: "I am not shaving my head. Thank god I'm immune to my son's beauty."😥

There was tons of offers to get Li Yangde to appear on tv but Yangde denied it. he is already having a hard time with his admirers. His locker is full of love letters, he had over 20 stalkers. There was no privacy. Soon he became home schooled. When he go out he wears a face mask that covers his nise and mouth and sunglasses and a ballcap. After another 4 years it died down. He grew his hair again and his cultivation is at the 2nd stage with his 6th dantian which was the dragon neck filled with true qi. In the meantime his mom and dad is about to breakthrough to the 3rd stage to become battle kings. They went to the mountains with his aunt and grandma.

Li Yangde: "Hi aunty may, Hi aunty Lili and Hey grandma tsunade.

Yang Tsunade: "I get a hey instead of a hi. Kids today is so rude!"😤

Yang May: "Hahaha, mom is getting mad over a kid, how immature. hahaha!"😂

Yang Tsunade: "Your not to old to be beat up you know. Your only 98 years old!"😤

Yang May: "Hey! Shhhhh! I maybe 98 years old but i look like 21 unlike you who is already 301 years old but looked like your only 40. Look at older sister Lily. She's 111 but look younger than me. It is already to unfair."

Li Chun: "Unfair? I wished i cultivated earlier. I look like my age. I look older that my 2 older sister."😤

Yang Lily: "Atleast your married. I can't find anyone. When it comes to romance in bed, I'm too strong for any man. They became cripples or get knocked out before we even get started. I feel like a 111 year old virgin."😞

Li Yangde: "Umm, I think I'm too young to hear all this."😌

Yang Tsunade: "Okay! Let's get this over with. Lily! you have the potion for just in case they fail the tribulation right."

Yang Lily: " Yup! Got 2 tribulation potion ready!"😄

Yang Tsunade: "Okay you 2 overflow your 8th dantian dragon horn with true qi and get ready for the tribulation. Everyone else, retreat 50 meters or you'll get hit by the lightning."

It was a clear day, then suddenly dark clouds started forming. The lightning tribulation is about to begin.

(BOOM!) (BOOM!)

The lightning hit both of them at the same time.

Bruce: "You okay honey?"

Chun: "You kiddin me? That only tickled me!"

(BOOM!) (BOOM!) (BOOM!) (BOOM!) (BOOM!) (BOOM!) (BOOM!) (BOOM!) (BOOM!)

Bruce: "Haa,haaa, haa You still okay honey?"

Chun: "Haaa,Haaa.. yeah, that was 9 lightning. One more to go. Here drink this strengthening potion.

They both drank the strengthening potion and blood & qi pill which rejuvinated them. The last lightning tribulation is the strongest but it will let them rest for a few minutes giving them time to prepare.

(KABOOOM!)

The lightning was so strong that it burned everything around them. The cloyds started to dissapate which means the end of the tribulations.

Yang Tsunade: "Hahaha! Congratualations to the both of you. You are now 3rd stage battle kings. hahaha! You both can live on up to 400 years.

Both Bruce & Chun: "Thanks mom!"

Li Yangde: "Hey grandma, can you also help me with my tribulation. I'm already 2nd stage true qi cultivator with my 6th dantian filled and already got my 7th dantian half full."

😮😮😮😮😮 All of them were shocked

Yang Tsunade: "Genius, 10 years old and already going to the 3rd stage. Hahaha! You might surpass me soon."

Li Yangde: "Really grandma! What cultivation are you now?!"😆

Yang Tsunade: "Hahaha, I just became a 5th stage spirit sovereign with 9 dragon marks. I have a 99% chance to become an eternal being. So I will be here awhile. I can also walk in the sky."

Li Yangde: "Really! Can you show me! please,please, pretty please!"😢

Yang Tsunade: "Okay okay! See and watch!"

Tsunade started floating in the sky and started walking then running in the sky.

Li Yangde: "Wooooooow!"😮

Yang Lily: "I can do that too!"

Lily put her sword down and rode on it. She started flying going around in circles around Tsunade.

Yang May: "Show offs. Hey Yangde, me and your aunt lily are 4th stage cultivators. We can only fly by controlling our swords. You will soon master it once you get to the 4th stage."

After that day, we were officially a cultivator family. Being a cultivator is expensive. Rare ingredients are hard to find. Soon Yang Tsunade told the secret that they are actually rich. Make that beyond rich. She is an alchemist that sell potions to other cultivators. Her main competitor is a cultivator with a Dao name of medicine master. Her Dao name was Alchemy mistress. She also own a field that grows rare medicine. Her husband died long ago and was a grandmaster of the dojo. She didn't want to inherit the dojo but it was a family heirloom that has over 200 diciples. So she kept it. The current part time master was Li Bruce, but he was also a part time nurse. Yang Lily was the current grandmaster but she keep pestering Tsunade to introduce her to a good male cultivator. But most don't want to start a family due to they will live long lives. And having a family will slow down with their progress.

A few months later, Yangde was ready to breakthrough towards the 3rd stage. He was not worried because he got hyper regeneration, but he still take precaution. He remember what the administrator said that if he loose his head his dead.

The whole family are back in the mountains again. Everyone is worried because he is the youngest person ever to go through the tribulation to 3rd stage at a tender age of 10 years old. There are also other cultivators that came. He saw the Medicine master that look like in the comic books in his old life. He also saw a a person with a saber. He seems to be thrice as reckless mad saber from the 9 province number one group. Also saw the Su clan's seven. Everyone wants to witness the birth of the new 3rd stage prodigy.

Li Yangde: "Grandma! Why did you have to spread the word of my breaking through! Now I'm a nervous reck!"😤

Yang Tsunade: " Hehehe! I got too excited that i cannot control myself to brag to other cultivators. But hey, if something happens. Atleast you have a lot of help for you to safely pass to the next stage."

He then went to a clearing getting ready for the tribulation. He took a deep breath.

Li Yangde: "Okay here go..."

He overflowed his 8th dantian. Everyone became quiet. The thunder clouds formed. The clouds were thicker than when his parents went through it.

Medicine master: "My god! These clouds feels powerful. Hopefully this kid survive this tribilation."

(KABOOOOOM!)

Li Bruce: "Holy crap! That first one is as strong as our last lightning...But it looks like he's okay.

Li Chun was about to run to save her baby but stopped when Yangde was giving a thumbs up.

Li Yangde: "Whoo! That was a shocker. It made my penis bigger. hahaha! Give me all you got!"

(KABOOOOM!) (KABOOOM!) (KABOOOM!)

(KABOOOM!) (KABOOOM!) (KABOOOOM!)

(KABOOOM!) (KABOOOM!) (BOOOM!)

Li Yangde: "Huh? That was the 10th one. How come it wasn't powerful."

Yangde looked up and saw the thunderclouds wasn't dissipating. Instead it was condensing into a more powerful cloud. He quickly started gulping down strengthening potion and blood & qi pills. He put on of hi hands covering his crotch to protect it and pinching his nose. Everyone was looking at the clouds.

Su clan's Seven: "My god! Is this the legendary 11th lightning tribulation. i better continue filming so sixteen will have to prepare better for her lightning tribulation."

Seven continued filming. He will now have to be better prepared in the future.

Thrice reckless mad saber: "Whoa! This kid will be a somebody in the near future."

Medicine Master: " This will be the first. I better borrow Seven's tape on this event. I'll ask him to share it with the group."

(KKAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOMMM!)

Li Yangde: "Owwww! Thay one hurt!"

He was covered by smoke so no one saw him that he got cut in half. Anyone should be dead but with his regenetation, his heart started to form back all his organs got strengthen. Once his regenetation was complete, his hair also grew back with his eyebrows. As most tribulation takers usually becomes partial bald or all facial hair burnt clean off including the eyebrows. Li Yangde all grew back. His skin became perfect. His overall beauty had upgraded. When the smoke cleared. Hisclothes became ragged that looked like he got rapped. When all the cultivators looked at him, everyone got mesmorized.

Su clan's Seven: "Oh my god! Another White!"

Thrice reckless mad saber: "So pretty... Aaahh! I like women! I like women! I like Women! Godamnit I love women!"

Medicine Master: "My god! Another one!"

Most cultivators in the area was now questioning their sexuality. Li Yangde sigh and start to put on a ballcap and the facemask.

Li Yangde: "Dad, do you bring my change of clothes?"

Li Bruce: "Y-yeah., it's in the car."

Yangde went to the car to go change.

Li Bruce: "What is wrong with me. Did I just fall in love with my son..."

Li Chun: "You are not alone dear. I think we need to stay away from him for awhile.

Yang Tsunade: "I second that. Even I cannot resist his beauty. I need to concuct a potion to get immunity from Yangde's charm. You 2 sisters also stay away from him for awhile you got that may! Lily!"

The 2 nodded back

Li Yangde the decided to hide his face even at home. He only took off the covers when he is alone or in his room.

He went to his dimension and started cultivating the heavenly god technique and void god technique from the library of heavens path. He gone to the fields that his grandma owns and got one of each all the herbs that where growing in the fields. He got 30 acres for all the herbs and soon multiplied. Everything was now automatic. He have a harvester that harvest the vegtables and pack them in the bag. Also the fruit harvester. The fruit harvester were monkeys. When he first put a monkey in his dimension. The monkey followed all his command. So he taught the monkey everything. It also like the spirit fruits but told the monkey they can only have a limited amount. He figured that these monkeys will start talking soon. He also teach them cultivation. For some reason, they were understanding the conversation.

A few months later, the monkeys are now wearing clothes and grooming themselves. They use the bathroom like a regular human does and they have rooms in the mansion. One of the monkey was named George. He started talking like a normal human.

Li Yangde: "Hey George, how is the harvesting going?"

George: "Everything is good young master. The production rate is up 30%. We are now expanding the fields to accomodate more fruit trees and vegtables. I say young master, when are we starting the livestock ranch. We just finished building the ranch about a mile from here. Also a river was formed lately, we can also accomodate fresh water fish. We cannot accomodate ocean fish unless you increase your cultivation stage and it will form an ocean."

Li Yangde: "I see, well I'm not sure about livestock yet. They may become spirit beast. Can spirit beast be eaten?"

George: "I have no idea young master. We can always taste it. We are willing to test it ourselves."

Li Yangde: "Hahaha, i like your style George. I will see what I can do."

In the next few months, he ran into the forest and hunted wild boars, peasants, deers and so on. He sold some rare herbs to buy chicken, goats and hares. He also bougth 4 cows and 2 bulls. The cows are used for milk and the bulls are used to impregnate the cows and was used for beef products.

George and the monkeys studied pasturization from the internet and started to make a milk industry inside the dimension.

Everything inside the dimension is self sufficient. On his last breakthrough, a sudden discovery was made. A gold mine was found. So now there are monkey miners in which they melt the gold in brick bars. He was now rich in gold bars like fort knox.

In the coming months he turned 11 years old. He now have a steady income, so it's time to bring his family in.

Li Yangde: "Mom, Dad what do you say if I have a secret that was so big that it takes 11 years to get fruition. And now I think it's ready to share to you."

Both parents look at each other and both looked back to their son and nodded.

Li Bruce: "You know son, it's hard to keep a serious face when your wearing a cap and a facemask."

Li Yangde: "Well your not immune to my charms yet."

Li Chun: "He got you there honey. hahaha!"
