Chapter 3: Aren't You Trying to Kill Me?

"I can break through already? Damn, that was fast!"

Su Lang was overjoyed and immediately commanded, "System, let me breakthrough!"

In an instant, Su Lang felt a surge of heat throughout his body, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"I've reached the Initial Body Tempering Realm!"

Su Lang leaped out of bed, feeling that his current body was completely different from before the breakthrough.

For starters, previously Su Lang was severely injured, weak, and deathly pale.

But now, his injuries were healed, complexion rosy, stature erect, and his eyes were sharp and full of vitality.

In a blink of an eye, he had transformed from a half-dead invalid into a handsome man!

"Huff, huff!"

Unable to contain his excitement, Su Lang threw a few punches, the air whistling with each strike!

"This strength is already stronger than the body I trained so hard in my previous life, and I've only just entered the Body Tempering Realm!"

The feeling of mastering this power was incredibly wonderful, as if he had gained control over his own destiny, filling him with confidence in an instant.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

"Su Lang, you worthless piece of trash, if you don't open this door now, I'll kill you!"

The banging on the door grew more intense, accompanied by Chu Gang's infuriated curses that were becoming unbearable to hear.

"Kill me? Hehehe!"

Su Lang looked towards the door, where the thunderous pounding was shaking dust loose, a thick smirk spreading across his face.

Although Chu Gang was domineering, he was just an ordinary person, not even at the Initial Body Tempering Realm.

As for Su Lang, he was a killer in his previous life, and now he had advanced in cultivation. Was he really afraid of an ordinary person?

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"Bastard Su Lang, still not opening the door?"

Chu Gang's fierce voice echoed from outside, the door now deformed and on the brink of shattering.

"Stop kicking!"

Su Lang closed the window tightly, shouted loudly, then opened the door with a cold smile on his face.

Outside stood a skinny, bald man with a dark complexion.

This man was Chu Gang!

"Damn, took you so long to open the door?"

Chu Gang impatiently pushed the door open, squeezing through the crack. "What were you yelling about just now?"

"Heh!"

Su Lang smirked coldly and raised his hand, slapping Chu Gang across his meaty face.

"Smack—!!"

The loud sound of the slap echoed through the stairwell.

Chu Gang was slapped so hard by Su Lang that he spun half a circle, stumbling against the wall, his entire right cheek numb.

"You... How dare you hit me?"

Chu Gang covered his stinging face, looking at Su Lang in disbelief.

Because cultivators at the Body Tempering Realm couldn't emit spiritual energy fluctuations, Chu Gang still thought Su Lang was the same useless person as before.

In his eyes, Su Lang must have gone crazy.

As for why he was hit, it was entirely due to his carelessness and being caught off guard.

"I want you dead!"

Chu Gang was furious, throwing a punch at Su Lang with all his might, aiming straight for his temple, a deadly blow.

If an ordinary person took such a punch, they'd either die or suffer severe injuries!

"Bang!!"

A muffled sound came as Su Lang effortlessly caught Chu Gang's fist.

"How is this possible!?"

Chu Gang's expression turned incredulous just before Su Lang viciously twisted his arm downward.

"Crack!!"

A bone-chilling crack pierced through the flesh and bone, exposed to the open air.

"Ah, ahh, ahhh!"

His arm was snapped into two sections, and Chu Gang couldn't bear the intense pain, letting out a shrill scream.

"Didn't you want to kill me?"

Su Lang discarded Chu Gang's severed arm and delivered another hard slap across his face.

"Slap—!"

This time, it was the left side of his face, sending Chu Gang sprawling to the ground, both cheeks swollen, his bald head resembling a pig's head.

"Ah! My arm!"

Chu Gang's face contorted in pain, clutching his severed limb and howling in agony. His earlier arrogance had completely vanished.

"It's just one arm, and you can't handle it?"

Su Lang closed the door, towering over Chu Gang. "How can someone like you endure the agony of having all your limbs broken?"

"Su Lang! Stop, stop!"

Chu Gang, hearing Su Lang's threat to break all his limbs, looked terrified.

"Stop? Heh—!"

Su Lang's mouth curved into a sneer, stepping on Chu Gang's head. "Have you forgotten how you humiliated me before?"

"I admit I was wrong, but if you don't want to die, let me go!"

Chu Gang violently shook his head. "I'll tell you, I've joined the Axe Breaker Hunting Group! Members of the Axe Breaker Hunting Group have a tattoo on their earlobes. Look at my earlobe!

I'm telling you, if you dare touch me, your end will be miserable!"
