Chapter 38: A Calamity Befalls Him

  The next morning, Liu Yi woke up, stretched his waist, washed his face simply, and went out for a morning exercise. He had just run a few steps when he thought of last night's events, the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He hadn't even done anything yet, but was forced to join the troops like that.

  Liu Yi, who was secretly annoyed in his heart, unconsciously quickened his pace. This acceleration was just right, and he happened to bump into an elderly person who was exercising in front of him. Because he was not in a good mood, Liu Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, "What are you doing blocking my way?"

  The old man flared up instantly, "Young man, don't be impudent! Obviously it was you who bumped into me, wasn't it? How did I end up blocking your way? Besides, I've been practicing my skills here for several hours already. First come, first served, do you understand?"

  Liu Yi was already unhappy in his heart, and listening to the old man's chatter here made him even more annoyed, so he turned around and walked away directly, no longer paying attention to the old man.

  The old man didn't say another word, and quickly walked up to Liu Yi, throwing a punch at him. "Young man, it's better if you understand some discipline!"

  Liu Yi didn't expect the old man in front of him to make a move, so he hastily dodged, but what made him even more unexpected was that the speed at which the old man made his move was clearly faster than Liu Yi's dodging speed. The result can be imagined, Liu Yi was punched by the old man and retreated two steps backward.

  He rubbed his chest, feeling a sharp pain, and Liu Yi secretly sighed "This old man is quite formidable!" At this time, he heard the voice of the illusion spirit "Not good, this person is an expert, with your current strength, you are not his opponent."

  This made Liu Yi even more puzzled, in this modern society, where are there still any martial arts masters?

  "Undeniably, there are still masters in modern times, but they might be hiding in seclusion, unknown to the world. The one before you is a true master, think quickly about how to deal with him!"

  Liu Yi sighed, just about to speak, when he saw the old man pounce on him again. "You stinky little brat, your body is quite sturdy, but I only used three-tenths of my strength earlier. How about taking another palm from me?"

  At this point, Liu Yi saw that he could no longer dodge and weaved, so he gritted his teeth and confronted him head-on. After one punch, the old man didn't move a muscle, while Liu Yi flew directly backwards, hitting the back of his head squarely on the ground, instantly swelling up a big lump on his forehead.

  Rubbing the bulging big bag, Liu Yi thought that today was indeed a bad luck day. So many people didn't provoke him, but he just had to provoke a master.

  Without thinking twice, looking at the old man walking over, Liu Yi hastily struggled to get up and said to the old man "Senior, I'm sorry, it was my fault earlier!"

  The old man snorted, "You're apologizing now? It's too late! Where were you just now?"

  Liu Yi looked at the old man's unyielding and formidable strength, which was terrifying, and he had the idea of using one of his thirty-six strategies to escape. Taking advantage of the old man's momentary distraction, Liu Yi turned around and ran away. Due to the exertion from running and fighting earlier, his body had suffered significant depletion, and this escape inadvertently relied on his inner strength.

  The old man saw Liu Yi running away, so he got up to chase him. However, he found that Liu Yi was still quite fast. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that Liu Yi had internal energy in his body, which shocked him. It's rare for someone to have internal energy, and this young man, who looked only 18 or 19 years old, actually possessed it, and it seemed to be very strong.

  The old man couldn't help but think of his younger self, having just entered the Moonwatching Pavilion a few years ago with internal energy less than one-tenth of Liu Yi's. Now that he was already in his seventies, he was only slightly stronger than Liu Yi by one level. Thinking of this, the old man felt that the world was unfair and also exerted his internal energy to chase after him. With strength that was indeed superior by one stage, he quickly caught up with Liu Yi, and with a single palm strike, the old man knocked Liu Yi to the ground.

  Liu Yi felt the blood in his body churning, gritted his teeth, and almost spat out blood. Knowing he couldn't escape, he quickly thought of a countermeasure. A clever idea flashed through his mind, and Liu Yi shouted, "Senior, please report your name! Maybe you're one of us!"

  The old man was also stunned, thinking to himself that although he was the elder of Wangyue Pavilion, he had always focused on practicing his skills, and the affairs of the sect were managed by other elders. It was possible that the young person in front of him might not be from his own sect after all. He said, "I am Huachenzu, an elder of Wangyue Pavilion. You wouldn't say you're also from Wangyue Pavilion, would you?"

  At this time, the phantom in his mind suddenly spoke out "Wangyue Pavilion, I didn't expect that this sect still exists!"

  Liu Yi hastily asked the phantom "What's wrong? Beautiful sister, do you know Wang Yue Pavilion?"

  "Hmm, this Moonwatch Pavilion was originally a small sect, but later on, an extremely powerful expert emerged, and from then on, it became one of the major sects in our time. However, so many years have passed, I didn't think that this sect would still exist, it's probably gone through dozens of generations."

  Liu Yi hastily asked again, "Then is your sect on good terms with this sect?"

  "How should I put it? Our Yulongmen and Wangyue Pavilion have a general relationship, but my master and the former master of Wangyue Pavilion had some connections... It's just that so many years have passed, and I don't know if Wangyue Pavilion still knows about this past history."

  Liu Yi saw the killing intent in Huachenzi's eyes and thought that he could only resort to desperate measures, so he said "Senior, spare my life, I am a disciple of Yulongmen."

  Hua Chenzi was stunned, this Yu Long Men, he had also heard of it in the records of the sect, but it was said that it had disappeared hundreds of years ago. How could the person in front of him know about Yu Long Men now? Could it be that Yu Long Men was just hidden or moved to another place?

  Liu Yi's words made Hua Chenzi dare not act rashly. To think that among these ancient sects, if they still exist today, there must be powerful masters within them. The young man in front of him was still young, yet he possessed such profound inner strength, so the master behind him must be even more formidable. Thinking this, Hua Chenzi cupped his hands and said, "In that case, let's drop the matter here. Please give my regards to your master. Another day, if I have time, I will definitely visit."

  Liu Yi saw that his words had taken effect, and he hastily made amends, saying "I was wrong in many ways before, please forgive me, senior! I will pass on your words to my master as soon as I return."

  After exchanging a few pleasantries, Huachenzu turned around and continued to practice his skills, while Liu Yi sullenly returned home, preparing to pick up his school bag and head to school.

  Suddenly a sharp pain surged up to his heart, and Liu Yi hurriedly covered his chest. The illusion also sensed this and hastily said, "It must be the palm strike from earlier that caused you internal injuries. Quickly find the medicine I gave you, there's an active pulse pill that can help you quickly resolve the internal injury."

  Liu Yi immediately took out a Huo Luo Dan and swallowed it, instantly, a cool sensation spread throughout his body, and the previous pain disappeared.

  Thinking about what just happened, Liu Yi shuddered all over, fortunately his brain reacted quickly enough, otherwise he might have been beaten to death by now.

  Liu Yi took his school bag and rode his bike to school.
