Chapter 143
His Heart Aperture was filled with qi and blood. When conditions are ripe, success is assured. The aperture had opened on its own!
Only after opening the Heart Aperture could a cultivator properly control the power of qi and blood in the body, outputting a power that far surpassed the human limits! With enough power of qi and blood, it was possible to twist a steel bar bare-handed!
In the middle of his sea of consciousness, his true self had become more vivid. Now, it truly resembled a cultivator.
Song Shuhang stood up, slowly breathing in and out.
He started to recall in his mind the dreamland he had seen while learning the ❮Basic Buddhist Fist Technique❯. He was trying to recall the great master with a naked torso displaying the fist technique.
It was a series of very simple and common fists. But when used by that great master, the fist was curved, yet aiming straight at the target. It had an incredible power, similar to that of a cannon. But at the same time, it was as gentle as the wind. It had both strength and elegance.
Before opening his Heart Aperture, Song Shuhang couldn’t do that type of relaxed movement.
But now, he could give it a try!
He could feel the power of qi and blood constantly flowing out of his Heart Aperture. Along with his throbbing heart, the power of qi and blood was transported to every corner of his body. After circulating throughout his entire body, the power of qi and blood became even stronger. Afterwards, it returned inside his Heart Aperture. With things as they were, the power of qi and blood would get stronger just by him staying alive.
While the power of qi and blood was circulating inside his body, Song Shuhang could feel the condition of every muscle in his body as well as their explosive power.
While in this state, he could completely control his body.
Song Shuhang used once again his ❮Basic Buddhist Fist Technique❯. His four limbs were both loose and tight, and almost seemed to the merge with the surroundings. At this moment, his body had completely relaxed.
He held his breath. And after concentrating, he sent out a fist!
It wasn’t fast. However, it still produced a thunderous roar in the air. Its strength had already surpassed his previous full-powered fist. A casual swing of a fist or any other random action performed by him was now as strong as his fist technique attack while chanting its formula and arousing the spiritual power of the world in the past!
After practicing the ❮Basic Buddhist Fist Technique❯ once again, Song Shuhang spat out a mouthful of bad air.
This was what you would call practicing the basic fist technique in one breath.
After spitting out that mouthful of bad air, every single muscle in his body had started to shake faintly, reaching in the end a very healthy state.
Song Shuhang showed a satisfied smile.
Today’s cultivation session was over.
If he wanted to, he could have used those qi and blood pills to practice the fist technique for a few more rounds. However, he wasn’t planning to practice again.
Haste makes waste. He had just completed his Foundation Establishment. Therefore, he needed some time to adapt to his new body. As first thing, he had to thoroughly understand his current state!
A beard well lathered is half shaved.
After taking a shower, Song Shuhang brought out Altar Master’s box.
Then, he placed the Blood God Crystal he had obtained yesterday inside the box. The precious saber obtained from the Moon Saber Sect’s sect master was also put inside.
On the blade was engraved a name: Broken Tyrant.
The saber was around one meter long; the fire of the tribulation had burnt its blade, changing its color to black. Originally, it was attractive and seemed very precious. But now, it was nothing but a pitch-black saber.
However, after being baptized by the tribulation fire, the seal and soul mark left behind by the sect master Ba Qianjun of the Moon Saber Sect had also been destroyed. Right now, this saber was an ownerless treasure.
“It would be cool if I could make it invisible like Senior Medicine Master’s flying sword. This way, I will be able to carry it with me all the time,” Song Shuhang muttered.
He was fond of this saber and wished he could bring it with him all the time.
Unfortunately for him, sabers were classified as dangerous objects. If he were to carry it around while still visible, it would be confiscated by the police. And in addition, he would be charged for carrying restricted tools.
He had decided to put these treasures inside a safe box in the room. After all, Medicine Master’s house was protected by a defensive formation. Therefore, he didn’t have to worry about some thief entering the place to steal his stuff. Everything here was completely safe.
Afterwards, he took out Great Master Profound Principle’s flying sword and headed toward Jiangnan College Town.
He had to mail back the flying sword to Great Master Profound Principle.
He had already sent a message to senior brother Young Monk Three Realms, informing him that he had retrieved the sword.

On the road, Song Shuhang gave Sima Jiang a call, “Hello, Little Jiang? Haha, sorry for calling you this late. How are your wounds from last time? Hm, can you come over right now? I need to send that express delivery from the last time once again.”
Sima Jiang quickly replied, “No problem, do you still live in Jiangnan College Town? Fine, I got it. I’ll be on my way!”
Sima Jiang feared that Song Shuhang wouldn’t use his express delivery service anymore. But after receiving this call, he knew that his worries were unnecessary.
“I’ll take four people along with me,” Sima Jiang said. If someone were to rob him again, he would be too ashamed to show his face around.
“Mr. Sima, how should we deal with that robber?” The man in a black suit pushed up his eyeglasses and asked.
“Confine him somewhere. Wait for me to meet Song Shuhang and ask his opinion,” Sima Jiang said while setting out with those four men.
***
While heading toward Jiangnan College Town, Song Shuhang met two ‘acquaintances’.
These two acquaintances were the two meters tall Nan Haomeng and the thin and weak Lin Tao.
Lin Tao was the schoolmate that had received Song Shuhang’s friendship punch on the face after disclosing his information to Altar Master.
Song Shuhang saw them as soon as he turned the corner. However, due to the angle, the opposite party didn’t notice him.
The two of them also seemed to have met by chance.
Nan Haomeng revealed a dazzling smile and greeted Lin Tao, “Fellow schoolmate Lin Tao, did you manage to fix your broken teeth?”
Lin Tao’s face was still slightly swollen, and he looked distressed. However, for the sake of currying some favor he still replied, “It’s all fixed now, all fixed.”
However, due to the number of broken teeth, the fortune he had acquired was almost completely used up. In the end, he hadn’t made any real profit and he had even lost half of his teeth. Lin Tao felt very bitter about it…
“It’s a good thing that they’re fixed. Technology is really advanced nowadays. You can’t even make out if those teeth are real or false. Oh yeah, you didn’t complain to the school, right? We aren’t kids anymore; right now, we are adults. If you do something bad, you have to take responsibility for it, right?” Nan Haomeng revealed a gentle smile and patted Lin Tao’s shoulder.
“I haven’t. Of course I haven’t,” Lin Tao vigorously shook his head.
“If you haven’t, then it’s all fine. After all, you and I can be considered as friends after that quarrel. It seems that the two of us were fated to meet thanks to that fight,” Nan Haomeng was a talkative fellow. Song Shuhang knew this from their first encounter.
Moreover, this fellow didn’t even have a bit of self-awareness. He was clearly a chatterbox, but he wouldn’t admit it even at the point of death.
“Later, we will be good friends. And I believe you won’t like to experience again that ‘friendship through a fight’ thing, right? Therefore, let the past events disperse like the dust in the wind. All that happened in the past is no longer important, right?” Nan Haomeng patted Lin Tao’s shoulder again.
“Of course, of course,” Lin Tao wanted to cry. Who the hell would want to be friends with you?
“Then, let us meet again in a few days. I hope you’ll do well in your studies. Haha,” Nan Haomeng laughed and waved his hand; he left relaxed. It seemed that he was scared of Lin Tao telling everything to the school. And after a few days, he had specially come to threaten him once more.
Unexpectedly, this big fellow knew how to be careful?
Lin Tao gritted his teeth and touched his swollen face, muttering, “If only I had the strength, I would certainly give a good lesson to those two bastards!”
His voice had yet to fall when he heard a demonic voice spread from behind, “Hm, not bad. You have some guts after all.”
Lin Tao was scared half to death. Just who the hell was this guy that had arrived behind him without making a sound?
He turned his head and saw Song Shuhang’s fair face.
Lin Tao’s face twitched; even those places where he was hit a few days ago started to throb.
“However, you need to do a lot of exercise. Because I only need a finger to defeat the current you. You’re the same as a little chick in my eyes. I’ll wait for you to train a bit. Afterwards, you can come and look for me.” After finishing his sentence, Song Shuhang looked around a bit until he saw an old multi-storied building that was being torn down.
He arrived in front of a wall of the building. And after holding his fist and controlling the degree of strength, he gently punched the wall.
“Bang!” It produced an ear-splitting sound.
The wall started to crack bit by bit as if hit by a huge steel hammer.
Song Shuhang nodded in a satisfied manner. Then, he turned his head and said to Lin Tao, “Hm, did you see? When you have practiced till this level, you can come and look for me to have your revenge.”
Lin Tao’s eyes were lifelessly looking at the cracks on the wall. He didn’t say anything for a long time.
After Song Shuhang left, he went towards the wall and touched it, pushing it again and again.
This wall that they were planning to tear down wasn’t made of some inferior material. It was a properly built good construction!
Both his legs went soft.
***
Around ten minutes later, inside Jiangnan College Town’s men dormitory.
Sima Jiang took that express delivery from Song Shuhang once again. This time, he placed it with great care inside what seemed to be a high-tech black box.
“Little Jiang, I’ll trouble you again with this express delivery,” Song Shuhang said.
Sima Jiang revealed a bright smile. He was a tactful person and didn’t ask how he had retrieved the express delivery.
Before leaving, he said, “Right. Student Shuhang, how should I deal with the thief I caught last time?”
“Oh, that guy with broken legs? You can do as you please. If he’s too troublesome, just throw him in prison,” Song Shuhang replied after pondering for a moment.
‘Speaking of prison… how is that western monk doing? How can I obtain information about him? Is there a way to obtain his news?’
“I see. This time, I’ll deliver your package without fail. You can rest assured!” Sima Jiang said firmly.
“I believe you,” Song Shuhang waved his hand. He felt a little guilty. Sima Jiang had been involved in that mess because of him. If he had the opportunity to compensate him in the future, he would definitely seize it.
After seeing off Sima Jiang, Song Shuhang returned to the dormitory.
His three roommates had yet to return. Ever since Yang De had rented that building outside, the dormitory had been less lively.
‘Should I get a pet?’
No, students weren’t allowed to raise pets in the dormitory.
After pondering for a moment, Song Shuhang pushed open the dormitory’s door.
At this time… he saw a big and hairy tail. The tail was very big; as big as a floor standing fan!
Song Shuhang closed the door and rubbed his eyes.
He had a very bad premonition just now.
After taking a deep breath, he once again opened the dormitory door.
At this moment, he saw a huge pekingese with its tongue out, trying to act cute…
