Soon, the news of Ling Mo Xie's pig slaughtering spread, and some younger members of the Ling family came in groups to watch the spectacle.
Before long, the area outside the slaughterhouse was filled with people, mostly elegantly dressed young men and women from the Ling family. They probably had never been to a place like a slaughterhouse in their lives. Each one covered their nose, pointing at Ling Mo Xie and chatting and laughing with those around them.
The Young Master who had beaten Ling Mo Xie yesterday laughed wildly, boasting about how he had hit Ling Mo Xie. Many believed that it was this beating that had left Ling Mo Xie dazed!
Ling Mo Xie was in the midst of his work when he heard their discussions. He merely curled his lip, ignoring them. However, when he saw the Young Master who had hit him, he thought to himself: You laugh at me for slaughtering pigs now, but one day the knife used for slaughtering pigs will be at your throat!
"Mo Xie!" A clear yet slightly anxious voice called out. Ling Mo Xie turned around to see Zhou Xinyi!
"What’s wrong, Xinyi?" Ling Mo Xie asked, holding the blood-dripping pig slaughtering knife, looking at Zhou Xinyi with confusion.
Zhou Xinyi disregarded the unpleasant smell of the slaughterhouse and walked up to the pigpen where Ling Mo Xie was. With wide eyes filled with concern, she said, "Mo Xie! What happened? You’re not really dazed from being hit by Ling Yijun, are you? That’s so dangerous! Come on! Let’s go back!"
Ling Mo Xie rolled his eyes. If he didn’t slaughter pigs now, it would be during the year-end competition at the Arena that he would truly be beaten senseless by Ling Yijun!
So, Ling Mo Xie reassured the worried Zhou Xinyi, saying, "You don’t need to worry about me! I’m perfectly fine! Really! It’s so smelly here! You should leave quickly!"
"I won’t! Ling Mo Xie, tell me! Are they forcing you?" Zhou Xinyi stubbornly looked at Ling Mo Xie, clearly convinced that someone was pressuring him to slaughter pigs.
How can I explain this? It’s not them forcing me! Ling Mo Xie felt a bit resentful for those young members of the Ling family; Zhou Xinyi was being overly protective of him!
No matter what, I can’t let her interfere with my pig slaughtering business! Ling Mo Xie thought to himself while casually telling Zhou Xinyi, "Xinyi, you should go back first! Really nothing is wrong; it’s not dangerous! Look!" As he spoke, Ling Mo Xie effortlessly killed a fat pig.
Zhou Xinyi was taken aback. What’s going on? Isn’t Ling Mo Xie usually someone who couldn’t even lift a chicken?
Seeing her confusion, Ling Mo Xie seized the opportunity and leaned closer to Zhou Xinyi, whispering, "Xinyi, look! I’m doing this quite easily, right? Did you forget what I said yesterday? I want to take revenge myself!"
"But... but what does your revenge have to do with killing pigs?" Zhou Xinyi initially saw that the usually weak Ling Mo Xie could easily kill a fat pig and was somewhat uncertain after hearing him say that.
Little girl, this connection is huge! Slaughtering pigs can help me level up; leveling up makes me stronger; being stronger allows me to take revenge! Of course, Ling Mo Xie couldn’t explain it like that to Zhou Xinyi and could only make something up: "Hehe! Didn’t you see I’m already at Foundation Establishment Level Two? Wasn’t I just at Level One yesterday?"
Ling Mo Xie spoke mysteriously to Zhou Xinyi. When she looked closely, she indeed saw that he was at Foundation Establishment Level Two!
Ling Mo Xie hadn’t improved for ten years but suddenly became Level Two overnight. Zhou Xinyi exclaimed in surprise, "You... what is this..."
Ling Mo Xie, showcasing his talent for nonsense, said, "Let me tell you! My father left me a pill! If I take it, I can start cultivating! You see, I've never fought in real combat before, so today I'm going to kill some pigs and see some blood, so I won't be scared when I have to fight someone later. So, you should just go back!"
"Uh... oh, oh!" Zhou Xinyi nodded foolishly and said, "Then I'll head back!"
Seeing Zhou Xinyi's adorably silly demeanor, Ling Mo Xie smiled inwardly; this girl was really easy to fool! He replied, "Yeah, yeah! Hurry back! Don't delay me from killing pigs!"
Zhou Xinyi walked outside, causing the Ling family disciples surrounding them to disperse with a clamor. They had bullied Ling Mo Xie but had often been beaten by Zhou Xinyi! However, seeing that Zhou Xinyi completely ignored them and walked straight out of the slaughterhouse left them confused.
Ling Mo Xie chuckled and continued his pig slaughtering business!
After watching for a while, the Ling family disciples found it somewhat boring and soon scattered in twos and threes. Ling Yijun also threatened Ling Mo Xie that he must participate in the year-end martial arts competition before leaving gracefully.
Ling Mo Xie paid them no mind and focused solely on slaughtering pigs.
For the next six days, Ling Mo Xie left early and returned late each day, going to the slaughterhouse at dawn and coming back under the moonlight. Zhou Xinyi brought him meals every day, acting like a virtuous wife.
On this day, it was the opening day of the year-end martial arts competition. Ling Mo Xie did not go to the slaughterhouse but rummaged around until he finally found a somewhat new white robe. After tidying himself up, he prepared to head to the training ground where the competition would be held.
After several days of "leveling up" through pig slaughtering—who cares what it's called?—Ling Mo Xie had already reached level nine. He only needed two hundred Experience points to reach level ten, which is known in the cultivation world as the tenth layer of foundation building!
In just seven days, going from the first layer of foundation building to the tenth layer was unprecedented; whether anyone would follow in his footsteps remains unknown.
"Knock knock knock!" A series of knocks came at the door. Ling Mo Xie smiled knowingly; it must be Zhou Xinyi.
Opening the door revealed her!
"Xinyi! What’s up?" Ling Mo Xie asked casually.
"What do you think? Are you planning to participate in the year-end martial arts competition again? Haven't you been beaten badly enough in previous years? Why won’t you listen? No! I won't allow you to go!" Zhou Xinyi looked at Ling Mo Xie, who had already changed into his clothes, and began a rapid-fire barrage of words while blocking the doorway with her arms.
"Do you really not trust me? Why are you so sure I'll get beaten instead of beating others?" Ling Mo Xie said helplessly.
Zhou Xinyi glared at him with wide eyes, shaking her head as she firmly stated each word: "Not allowed to go!"
Ling Mo Xie rolled his eyes and said, "How about this? Let's have a match first. If you win, I won't go; if I win, you won't stop me!"
Zhou Xinyi lowered his head and thought for a moment. He felt that it was unreasonable to block Ling Mo Xie like this. If he could show him his strength, perhaps Ling would reconsider going, so he nodded and said, "Alright!" He continued to scold Ling Mo Xie, "I mean, look at you! Even though you're at the second level of Foundation Establishment, they've been cultivating for over ten years and are already at the seventh or eighth level. You can start cultivating now; why not wait a few more years before seeking revenge on them?"
Ling Mo Xie walked into the courtyard and looked at the still-chattering Zhou Xinyi, saying, "Okay, okay! I got it! Let's just start!" Honestly, he was more nagging than his own mother; the constant chatter was making his ears sore.
Ling Mo Xie helplessly smiled at Zhou Xinyi.
The two stood facing each other in the courtyard. Ling Mo Xie announced, "I'm starting now!" and launched an attack towards Zhou Xinyi.
Zhou Xinyi saw a flurry of afterimages moving left and right, up and down. Despite being at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, he couldn't see clearly and began to take it more seriously. Had Ling Mo Xie really become this powerful in just a few days? Could killing pigs really help with cultivation?
Ling Mo Xie's face turned red. Why? The skill he was using now had come from when he was slaughtering chickens at the market; it was called "Chicken Flying and Dogs Jumping." It could confuse enemies, making it hard for them to discern their own position while slightly increasing his speed.
Oh no! Of all names to explode with, this one is just too embarrassing; this skill is too ridiculous!
However, its effectiveness was undeniable; after all, it was a mid-tier yellow-grade skill! In the Foundation Establishment stage, it was considered quite high-ranked.
With all that confusion, before Zhou Xinyi could react, Ling Mo Xie had already grabbed him by the neck from behind and smugly said, "How about that?"
