Chapter 12: Fang Yu's Dilemma

If anyone saw the scene in front of the truck, they would be unable to close their mouths in shock.A male student in a school uniform was seen extending his right palm, using one hand to support the front of the truck.The dent on the front of the truck revealed the tremendous force of the collision just now.Fang Yu remained calm, lowering his head to glance at his shoes.After sliding on the ground for more than ten meters, the soles of his canvas shoes had disappeared.However, if Fang Yu hadn't been wearing shoes, it wouldn't have been a collision that occurred just now, but an explosion.Fang Yu had trained his body for a full 1,500 years, and his physical body had long reached the level of indestructibility. A truck hitting him was no different from hitting a mountain.Fang Yu had already noticed the presence of this truck and had seen Da Biao, whom he had met yesterday, sitting in the driver's seat.Fang Yu intentionally let himself be hit.Because this way, he would have a reason to counterattack in self-defense."Boom!"Fang Yu pushed forward with his right hand, and the ten-ton-loaded truck rolled back several meters.Fang Yu walked to the side of the truck's driver's seat and reached out his hand."Click!"He forcefully opened the driver's door.Da Biao was sitting in the driver's seat, still frantically turning the steering wheel and stepping on the accelerator.However, the truck's power system had already failed."How is this possible?!" Seeing Fang Yu appear alive and well in front of him, Da Biao's mind went blank.What had happened in the past minute was beyond his comprehension.A person being hit by a heavy truck that was moving at full speed, and not a hair on his body was harmed, yet he was able to stop the truck with his strength alone?Was this still a human?Was this something that only happened in movies and novels?"The truck is broken."Fang Yu's voice brought Da Biao back to reality."You, what are you going to... Ah!" Da Biao couldn't finish his sentence, as Fang Yu grabbed his head and slammed it onto the steering wheel."Bang! Bang! Bang!"Muffled sounds accompanied Da Biao's screams.Fang Yu noticed the intercom on the passenger seat, picked it up, and pressed the call button.Three seconds later, He Wencheng's voice came through: "Da Biao, is everything taken care of? I've already arranged for brothers to pick you up..."Fang Yu didn't say a word, he just continued slamming Da Biao's head onto the steering wheel.Da Biao's screams transmitted through the intercom to the other side.He Wencheng was stunned for a moment, then shouted: "What's going on? Da Biao! What happened?"Da Biao's face was covered in blood from being hit, and his screams became weaker and weaker until he fainted.Fang Yu picked up the intercom, and He Wencheng's voice was still shouting on the other end."Come within twenty minutes, or be prepared to collect his corpse." Fang Yu said calmly and then hung up the intercom.Fang Yu looked at the bloody Da Biao without any waves in his eyes.After dealing with Da Biao, Fang Yu jumped down from the truck and immediately noticed the beautiful female teacher standing in a dazed state behind.He recognized this beauty.She was Ding Ran, the English teacher from the neighboring elite class.With her outstanding appearance, Ding Ran was famous in Jianghai Middle School and was considered the perfect goddess in the hearts of many male students.Fang Yu had seen Ding Ran several times in the corridor and had heard about her countless times from the male students in his class.Why was she here? Did she witness what just happened?Fang Yu furrowed his brows slightly and walked over."Cl-Classmate, are you... okay?" Ding Ran opened her cherry lips, her shining big eyes filled with disbelief."Teacher Ding, I apologize." Fang Yu extended a finger and gently tapped Ding Ran's forehead.Ding Ran trembled all over and her gaze immediately became empty."Go home and take a nap, you'll be fine after that." Fang Yu said."Go... home?"Ding Ran stared at Fang Yu in a daze. Two seconds later, she started stepping and walked across the zebra crossing.Fang Yu had used a small magic trick on Ding Ran.This magic was very simple and basically only effective on ordinary people.Most likely, when Ding Ran returned home, she would take a nap and wake up without any memory of what had just happened. Even if she had some vague memories, she would consider them a dream.After Ding Ran left, Fang Yu looked around and noticed two surveillance cameras near the intersection.The cameras had recorded everything that had just happened.After a moment of thought, Fang Yu took out his phone and dialed a number."Hey, Xiaojian, it's me. Can you do me a favor..."...Fang Yu returned to the courtyard and was about to go upstairs when Yueyue ran out of her house and grabbed Fang Yu's hand."Brother Fang Yu, my mom came back this morning. I told her about what happened a few days ago, and she wants to thank you. Come to our house for dinner tonight.""Sure, it's been a long time since I tasted Aunt Wang's cooking." Fang Yu happily agreed.When it came to eating, he never refused, no matter the time.Yueyue's mother was called Wang Yan, a beautiful woman with excellent cooking skills.As early as when Yueyue was ten years old, Wang Yan divorced her gambling-addicted husband, Yu Cheng Ye, and took on the responsibility of raising Yueyue alone."Xiaoyu, have a seat. I'll make the dishes soon." Wang Yan tied her apron and peeked out from the kitchen, smiling at Fang Yu."No problem, take your time. I'm the one who's imposing on you, Aunt Wang." Fang Yu said."Don't mention it! I've heard from Yueyue, if it weren't for you helping that night..." Wang Yan's face turned a bit unsightly when she said this. She bit her lip and didn't continue."I'll prepare the food, you have a cup of tea." Wang Yan said."Huh? Fang Yu, why aren't you wearing shoes?" Yueyue suddenly noticed that Fang Yu was barefoot and curiously asked."I stepped on a rock just now and the sole of my shoe got damaged, so I threw them away." Fang Yu said."Both of your feet got stepped on?" Yueyue widened her eyes and asked."Yes, my luck hasn't been good recently, always encountering unlucky things." Fang Yu sighed lightly and sincerely said."Pat your head, I'll give you some luck." Yueyue reached out her small hand and gently patted Fang Yu's head.A few minutes later, Wang Yan brought the dishes to the table, with a total of four dishes and a soup.Wang Yan's cooking skills were needless to say. Fang Yu always thought her cooking skills were not inferior to many hotel chefs.During the meal, Wang Yan was talking and laughing, but Fang Yu noticed a hint of sorrow in her eyes.Seeing that Wang Yan had invited him to dinner, Fang Yu was willing to help her, but if she didn't speak up, he wouldn't ask her on purpose.After finishing dinner, Fang Yu returned to the second floor.In addition to a small living room, there were two rooms in his house, one being the bedroom, and the other being a storage room for miscellaneous items.As he passed the storage room, Fang Yu smelled a faint medicinal scent, suddenly remembering Tang Xiao Rou's question earlier.Inside the storage room, there were the medicinal herbs brought back from the northwest, which were grown by Xia Xiu Zhi outside the grass house.These herbs were extremely rare, and many of them had disappeared from the market.It could be said that these medicinal herbs were truly priceless.But Fang Yu treated them like trash and threw them into the storage room. If Xia Xiu Zhi knew how Fang Yu treated his hard work, he would probably be furious."The herbs that couldn't be found in that prescription, they should be in here, right?" Fang Yu looked at the herbs in the storage room and thought.Forget it, help others to the end, not to mention the Tang family had already given a reward."Let that girl come and pick them up tomorrow."Late at night, Fang Yu lay in bed, eyes open, pondering over some issues.Advancing further at his level of cultivation was quite difficult. Although he was only in the Qi refining stage, he was already at the 9,832nd level of the Qi refining stage.As early as 2,000 years ago, Fang Yu couldn't rely solely on cultivating his techniques and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to improve his cultivation.To break through the levels, he had to rely on other means. In the past 2,000 years, Fang Yu's most efficient method was to devour the inner cores of demonic beasts.Using this method, he had been able to break through from the 5,000th level of the Qi refining stage to over 9,000 levels.But now, with the decline of spiritual energy on Earth, there were fewer and fewer surviving demonic beasts. In the past hundred years, Fang Yu had only found a few.Now, his cultivation had completely stagnated, stuck at the 9,832nd level for a long time.Fang Yu believed that as long as he could break through to the 9,999th level of the Qi refining stage and reach the 10,000th level, he would be able to smoothly enter the Foundation Building stage.At that time... his ultimate dream that he had been cultivating for thousands of years would come true.But he didn't expect that just when he was not far from reaching the 10,000th level, demonic beasts on Earth were on the verge of extinction...Now, he either had to find other efficient methods of cultivation, or he had to search the world for the few remaining demonic beasts."Forget it, I won't think about it. I have plenty of time, I'll take it slowly." Fang Yu thought to himself.Fang Yu closed his eyes, preparing to sleep.But at this moment, he heard a suppressed sobbing sound coming from downstairs.
