Chapter 35: Getting Weakened!
"Now you have nothing stopping you; you have to leave with me." With an unquestionable tone, Ma Linglu stated after Fang Yuan left.
A helpless expression appeared on Li Haoping's face. Only after confirming their relationship did he find out about Ma Linglu. She had an extremely special background.
He didn't know the extent of the background, but from her actions, it was clear that she was a descendant of one of the top figures of human civilization on the Qingtian continent.
Ma Linglu wasn't from Yellow Peach City but had come here to do something. She refused the advances of Li Haoping for the same reason, but seeing his persistence and charm, she also fell for him.
Now that her task was over, it was time to leave the city and return to where she came from. Since her feelings for Li Haoping were genuine, she also wanted him to follow her.
She knew Li Haoping's family was here, so she had already settled them. The last thing on his mind was his friend, Fang Yuan, so she came to meet him today.
The meeting between the three wasn't coincidental at all.
Li Haoping had no issues with leaving Yellow Peach City, so since Ma Linglu had done her part, he nodded and accepted his fate.
If others heard what was waiting for him, they would be red-eyed with jealousy.
The strongest of the humans lived in Central City, and only Foundation Building cultivators could enter and live there. As for Qi Refining cultivators, they must have achieved something great, and only then could they enter the city.
Ma Linglu directly purchased a permanent residency for Li Haoping. When he heard about it, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth for hours. It was also the first time he knew that his girlfriend wasn't ordinary.
***
Unaware of the conversation between the two, Fang Yuan was sitting on the bus, on his way to the gym.
While sitting, he had nothing to do, so he was thinking about what Ma Linglu said. She only said that he has a chance at the top three.
Since there were chances of entering, there were also chances of failing. So Fang Yuan was thinking of what to do to turn that chance into certainty not only for the top three but the first-ranked sect of the city.
For some reason, he completely believed what Ma Linglu said, having no doubt about her. He didn't notice that weirdness and was immersed in his thoughts.
Screech!
The bus driver suddenly stepped on the emergency brake pedal, and the bus stopped with great momentum, throwing Fang Yuan to the next seat.
He immediately stood up and walked to the front to see what forced the driver to take sudden actions. The next moment, a horrified expression appeared on his face.
Not far from the bus, a zombie was eating a man. Fang Yuan's blood ran cold and as he was about to run, someone gently tapped on his shoulder.
The next moment, he groggily opened his eyes and saw the bus conductor tapping on his shoulder and saying something.
The words became clear after a while, forcing Fang Yuan to stand up and rush out of the bus.
The bus had reached its endpoint, which was around half an hour away from the bus stand near the gym.
Fang Yuan not only got late, but he also had to take a cab to reach the gym. As for the nightmare, he didn't have time to worry about it.
The training time for the gym wasn't flexible. A fixed time was given to every student and the trainer would only train them during that time.
The cab was faster than the bus, so he reached the gym in half time, but he was still around half an hour late.
The training time was two hours, so one-fourth of it was already done before he stepped into the gym.
***
Fang Yuan rushed back to the house with hunched shoulders. The training was more tiring today.
Fang Yuan noticed that things weren't normal with him. The training content was the same as yesterday, but unlike yesterday, his body was crying for rest.
When the two siblings saw Fang Yuan in such a condition, the sister hurriedly brought him a glass of water, while the brother started to massage his shoulders.
Instead of feeling relaxed, Fang Yuan felt that he was getting more and more tired with time. He asked the two siblings to go back to study and then walked to his room.
The bed seemed like heaven for him, so he hurriedly jumped on it once he reached the room. His body immediately let go of everything and he fell asleep.

"Are you sure that it wouldn't harm his body?"
Li Haoping asked with a troubled expression.
"My answer wouldn't change if you asked me more than ten times," Ma Linglu responded with a helpless expression.
Only saying those things wasn't enough to alleviate Li Haoping's worry about his friend, so with gritted teeth, she fed Fang Yuan Qi-and-Blood powder made up of the bones of a Foundation Building level monster.
It was a diluted version, as the complete powder would make Fang Yuan explode due to his body not being able to bear it.
"He will only feel weak for a week, and then he will be fine." Seeing the worry on Li Haoping's face, she still gently repeated what she had repeated numerous times.
Li Haoping nodded, but the worried expression on his face was still visible. He was about to ask something when he heard a booming sound.
A smile appeared on Ma Linglu's face, and he understood the source of the sound.
When he walked outside, a car floating in the air confirmed it. It was time for the two to leave Yellow Peach City.
The packing had already been done while his parents had already gone to Dongjing, one of the major cities of the continent.
