East Star Continent, Stellarsky Empire, Tiankui Nation, Tianchu City, Tang County.
"Didn't Li Sheng just scold you? You motherless bastard! You're just a first-level Star Warrior trash, yet you dare to publicly perform martial arts with me! You really don't know what's good for you, pui!"
At this moment, a young master on the stage raised his right hand and pointed at a young man lying on the ground in a sorry state. He kept cursing.
The young master's words immediately caused a commotion in the crowd below the arena.
"Hey, isn't this the idiotic young master of the Li family? Why is he fighting with the third young master of the Lin family?”
"Sigh, the third young master of the Lin family is a third-order Star Warrior. For us Star Cultivators, one level is equivalent to ascending to the heavens. I think Li Sheng really doesn't want to live.”
"So what if I don't have the strength to scold you? Even if I hit you, you have to be a ninja.”……
At this moment, the surrounding crowd kept criticizing Li Sheng, who was lying on the ground. Their sarcastic and heartless words kept entering Li Sheng's ears. It was like a sharp sword stabbing into Li Sheng's heart, making him feel a heart-wrenching pain and humiliation.
" It's been ten years. Ever since my mother was taken away when I was five, I, Li Sheng, have been cultivating with all my might every day. Why, why can't I break through to the second-order Star Warrior realm? Could it be that I'm really the trash that they say I am?”
The Eastern Star Continent where Li Sheng was from was a world where martial arts were respected.
On the continent, families were secretly fighting for resources, cultivation techniques, and wealth.
Li Sheng's family was one of the four great families in Tang County.
Li Dongliu, the head of the Li family, was a legendary figure in Tang County. He had come to Tang County fifteen years ago. Five years ago, for some unknown reason, Li Dongliu suddenly rose to power and became one of the four great families of Tang County, the Li family.
However, it was also because of the outsiders that the Li family had always been ostracized by the other three major families in Tang County.
On the Eastern Star Continent, the strength of a Star Cultivator was constantly increasing along with the improvement of his cultivation technique.
Currently, on the continent, cultivation techniques were divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow.
Yellow Grade was the most common cultivation technique on the continent, and it was also the only one Li Sheng could cultivate at the moment. If he wanted to obtain the other three, he had to either pass them down for generations or spend a huge amount of money to buy them.
And even if he obtained them, he still needed to have a strong aptitude to cultivate them. Even the lowest Yellow Grade cultivation technique, Li Sheng, had cultivated for ten years to reach the First Order Star Warrior, let alone higher level cultivation techniques.
The cultivation levels of Star Cultivators ranged from Star Warrior, Star Knight, Star Master, Star General, Star King, Star Emperor, Star Grandmaster, Star Venerable, Star Emperor, Star Saint, to the top-notch Star God.
At each level, one could condense their own Astral Soul, allowing it to evolve and produce even more powerful Astral Soul Skills.
The quality of Astral Souls was divided into seven grades, with each grade being stronger than the last. Most of their original forms were randomly formed, some were artifacts, some were beasts.
Li Sheng got up from the ground and raised his head, revealing his delicate and fair face. He wiped the blood from his mouth with his sleeve.
At this moment, Li Sheng roared in his heart,'I've put in a hundred or a thousand times more effort, but in exchange, I'm two levels lower than him. I can't accept this!' Unwilling! Why did I, Li Sheng, have to watch my mother be taken away? Why did I have to suffer humiliation?
Li Sheng looked at Lin Zichen, the third young master of the Lin family, who was still arrogant on the stage, and shouted,"Lin Zichen, I, Li Sheng, will forever remember today's humiliation. One day, I'll make you pay double!”
When Lin Zichen heard that, he raised his head and spat at Li Sheng. Then, he said,"Trash is trash. If you go home and cultivate for another eight to ten years, you will still be trash. If you dare to fight me again, I won't let you off so easily. If I don't beat you until half of your body is gone, I will really let down your title of being the number one trash in Tang County.”
Avoiding the disgusting spit, Li Sheng's heart burned with anger.
Aren't you just two levels higher than me? When I go back and cultivate with all my might, even if the road ahead is difficult, I will definitely catch up to you. At that time, I will beat you up until you find your teeth on the ground and take revenge for my humiliation today.
That night, Li Sheng was still cultivating hard in his courtyard.
Looking at the few small pits on the ground that he had made with a flick of his pen, Li Sheng's body shook and a feeling of weakness came from his body.
He had consumed too much Star Power.
At this moment, what happened in the arena during the day surfaced in Li Sheng's mind again. The scene changed, and his mother's face appeared in his mind again. He remembered a sentence he asked his father when he was young.
"Father, when will Mother return to our side?”
"When you become stronger!"
Li Sheng clenched his fists and shouted in his heart," Mother, wait for me. I will become stronger. That damned fellow, I will definitely surpass you!
Thus, Li Sheng wiped the sweat off his forehead and sat down cross-legged again to practice the Yellow Rank cultivation technique, the Runic Water Mantra.
Feeling the Star Power slowly recovering as he circulated his cultivation, Li Sheng shouted in his heart," I haven't done enough. I want to be stronger and stronger.
When Li Sheng was at the Star Warrior level, he had condensed a pen, and it was the lowest grade bamboo pen. The Star Soul skill that came with it was to flick the pen. Every time it was used, it would consume a huge amount of Li Sheng's Star Power. With Li Sheng's current strength, he could only use it seven times.
As his Star Power recovered, Li Sheng stopped cultivating. A question flashed across his mind.
Why did 30% of his Star Power mysteriously disappear every time he finished cultivating? Otherwise, he could have used it ten times in a row with a flick of his pen. Moreover, every time he felt that he was about to break through, the Star Power in his body would disappear in an instant. Was there something wrong with his body?
However, that shouldn't be possible. He had never heard of anyone having problems cultivating.
However, he had to find a way to figure out what was going on. Otherwise, he might stay at the level of a Star Warrior forever.
Thinking of this, Li Sheng exerted his strength again. A huge bamboo brush phantom appeared behind him.
Li Sheng waved his right hand, and the shadow of the bamboo brush emitted a faint black light along with his movement.
"Bang!"
A small pit suddenly appeared on the ground of the small courtyard. It seemed to be a little bigger than the previous one.
Li Sheng felt a little comforted. His hard work was still effective. He quickly used his Star Soul Skill again.
"Ha, flick the brush!"
Suddenly, the small courtyard was filled with a constant banging sound.
At this moment, an old man wearing a grey cloth slowly walked into the courtyard with food in his hands. He looked at Li Guansheng who was cultivating and sighed softly,""Sigh."
Then, the old man turned around and prepared to leave, not wanting to disturb Li Sheng's cultivation.
However, his soft voice had already attracted Li Sheng's attention. Li Sheng stopped cultivating and turned to look at the old man, shouting,"Grandpa Dongming, why aren't you asleep yet?”After saying that, Li Sheng looked at the old man with a puzzled expression.
Li Dongming was the old housekeeper of the Li Residence. He had watched Li Sheng grow up. When he heard the young master calling him, Li Dongming quickly turned around and walked towards Li Sheng. At the same time, he said,"This old servant heard some noise in the courtyard and knew that Young Master was still cultivating so late at night. I was afraid that you would be hungry, so I brought you some food.”
Li Dongming placed the food in his hands on the stone table in the courtyard and silently looked at the young master in front of him. He sighed in his heart: The young master had always been working hard on his cultivation. However, the heavens didn't allow him to do so, and he was still stuck at First-Order Star Warrior after ten years.
"Grandpa Dongming has told me many times, don't always address me as Young Master, just call me Xiaosheng. I grew up in your arms, and you always call me that, it makes me feel uncomfortable.”
Hearing Li Dongming still address him as young master and old servant, Li Sheng started to complain. This was the person closest to him, other than his father and his mother who had been taken away.
"Hehe, Young Master, etiquette cannot be abandoned.”Li Dongming laughed.
"What? You can't be deposed? You're my elder, so it's only right for you to call me Xiaosheng.”After saying that, Li Sheng helped the old man sit down with him on the stone bench.
Then, he casually picked up the meat bun in the food box and started eating.
While eating, Li Sheng suddenly said,""Right, Grandpa Dongming, prepare a carriage for me tomorrow. I'm going to the Beginning Spring Pavilion.”
Looking at Li Sheng, Li Dongming thought, Other than cultivating, Young Master also had another hobby, which was painting. Moreover, Young Master's painting was a little special because he only painted beautiful women and had never painted anything else. In his words, his eyes only contained beautiful women and star coins.
Actually, Li Dongming knew very well that Li Sheng had been working hard on his painting, hoping that one day, he would be able to draw a portrait of his mother that could be compared to a real person. It was also because of his mother that Li Sheng had been working hard to cultivate.
" But Young Master..." Li Dongming hadn't finished his sentence when he was interrupted by Li Sheng.
"Grandpa Dongming, call me Xiaosheng. I've already said so much. I know what you want to say.”
Hearing Li Sheng's words, Li Dongming replied with a 'mm'.
"My father won't say anything. He knows that I didn't go to the Beginning Spring Pavilion to fool around.”After saying that, Li Sheng swallowed the bun in his hand, got up, and continued cultivating.
Li Dongming looked at Li Sheng and did not speak.
Li Sheng had been like this ever since he became sensible. However, Li Dongming had also asked Li Sheng before why he liked to draw beautiful women. Li Sheng replied unwillingly,""It's good for the eyes!"
Li Dongliu knew why Li Sheng only drew beautiful women.
However, every time he returned, he would always be beaten up by his father, Li Dongliu. However, Li Dongliu usually focused on dealing with business and strengthening the Li family.
He didn't discipline Li Sheng much, especially when he saw that Li Sheng's cultivation had only reached the First Order of Star Warrior after ten years. He couldn't be bothered to discipline him anymore. Right now, Li Dongliu only hoped that Li Sheng would start a family as soon as possible. He had already placed his hopes on the next generation.
