Chapter Ten: The Agony of Shaping

  In another place, a tearful woman waited alone at home day and night for news.

  "Son, where are you? Mom misses you so much! Can you come back soon?"

  The woman wiped away her tears and muttered to herself.

  This is Chen Pengpeng's mother, Tang Qiu. In order to find her son, she not only reported the case to the police but also posted a missing person notice on TV and asked Chen Pengpeng's teacher, Jiang Rou, to do some contact work with the school. However, no matter how hard they tried to look for Chen Pengpeng, it was all in vain. He seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace behind.

  "Is Aunt Tang here?"

  A questioning voice broke Tang Qiudan's reverie.

  "Ah, okay! Is it Xiaofeng? I'll go open the door right now."

  After finishing speaking, she wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes and walked out of the room, gently pulling open the door.

  "Xiao Feng, have you come to see Aunt Tang for something? Is it about news of Peng Er?"

  Tang Qiuxin anxiously asked.

  "Aunt Tang, I've come to see you. I'm afraid Aunt Tang is too lonely by herself, as a brother of Xiaopeng, I must come to see you. Aunt Tang, don't be so distracted every day, it's no use rushing! Now the whole world knows that Xiaopeng has gone missing, if there's any news, it will naturally reach you."

  Zhou Xiaofeng comforted him.

  Tang Qiu nodded and returned to the house with a worried look on his face.

  Zhou Xiaofeng then took his things and followed him in.

  A group of people gathered in a luxurious hotel in City C, laughing and chatting loudly.

  "Xiong ge, by now the corpse of that poor vegetable vendor has probably been dragged away by wolves! Otherwise, how could the police not find that idiot's body?"

  Huang Mao puffed on a soft Zhonghua cigarette, feeling pleased and content in his heart.

  "That's right, didn't you know that there are often wild beasts appearing in the mountain peaks outside the city? I heard that the villagers nearby don't dare to go there!"

  A very arrogant young master said proudly.

  This is Lin Shangren, the eldest son of the Lin family. Now that he has eliminated his rival, how can he not be happy?

  "Haha, Brother Shang didn't mention it and I almost forgot! I've also heard that the wild beasts there are terrifying and no one dares to go there unless they want to die."

  The yellow-haired girl smiled and flattered him along the way.

  "Now his vegetable-selling old mother is searching for him all over the world! It's best to make her half-dead, only then can I relieve my hatred!"

  Lin Xiang was furious and gritted his teeth.

  "Shang ge, or I'll bring some people to her vegetable selling place and stir up some trouble? Hehe~~"

  The way of Huang Mao's idea.

  "That's great! Little Huang, you're getting better and better! Come on, let's have a drink!"

  Lin was overjoyed and let out a hearty shout.

  Dry

  Dry

  Dry

  "Come on, let's go"

  ……

  A burst of joyful laughter and conversation drifted out from the VIP room of the Guihai Hotel.

  In a luxurious living room in City C, a beautiful girl sat on the sofa. The table was filled with textbooks, but at this moment she had no intention of reviewing. She stared blankly out the window.

  This girl was Wei Lin, who had been stood up by Chen Peng that day. She was heartbroken for the whole night and secretly cried under her quilt that evening. At that time, she vowed never to forgive Chen Peng again and never to be sad for him again.

  The next day, when she went to class with red and swollen eyes, after hearing that Chen Peng had gone missing, the resentment in her heart from last night was replaced by even more worry.

  "Lingling, what's on your mind? The Gaokao is approaching!"

  A kind-hearted middle-aged man broke her reverie.

  "Ah! Dad... it's you, I... I wasn't thinking of anything... I... I..."

  Weilin said many "I"s but couldn't come up with a reason.

  "Silly child, now it's time for the college entrance exam. What else could make my dear daughter think so wildly? Can you tell Daddy?"

  The middle-aged man said with a smile.

  "Dad, I'm afraid if I tell you, you'll be unhappy and definitely get very angry."

  Weilin said in a very soft voice.

  "Hmph! Didn't I warn you? Don't associate with outsiders, especially boys! Those commoners think they can be on par with the Wei Shi family? Don't even think about it, and you can't have any dealings with outsiders either! You should know that only the Yun family is worthy of being on par with ours!"

  The middle-aged man heard Weilin's words and suddenly changed his face, scolding loudly.

  "Dad, you're really too much! Why do you and mom have to control my own happiness? Can't I find a bit of my own happiness on my own?"

  Weilin said with tears in her eyes.

  "Hmph! I knew it, I shouldn't have agreed to let you attend that rotten school! I should've sent you to Yun Jia's high school where Yun Xiao Fei is! I'm too indulgent with you!"

  A middle-aged man scolded with a remorseful sigh.

  "Dad, are you always so overbearing? Can't I have a little space of my own? Do you want to control your daughter's whole life?"

  Vivian spoke with tears in her eyes.

  "Hum! What do you know? This concerns the future of our entire family, let alone the Yun family's young master who is not lazy either. Moreover, he is a talented and well-rounded young man, and he has had feelings for you since childhood. Where can you find such an excellent young man?"

  A middle-aged man glared with anger and said.

  "Dad, is status so important to you? Is it even more important than your daughter's happiness?"

  Weilin asked with a sob.

  "Hmph! I don't care about those things, what's most important for you now is to study hard and get into Tsinghua University! That Cloud kid will be going to that aristocratic school! When the time comes, whether or not you can get in, I'll make sure you go there to study!"

  The middle-aged man grunted and walked out of the living room with a heavy stride.

  The whole living room was left with Weilin, until the middle-aged man walked out of the living room. She burst into loud sobs, her crying voice growing louder and filling the entire living room...

  Horizontal line...

  Since Chen Peng was sucked into the space of the Seven-Colored Divine Finger, he had to offend two giant white tigers in order to save the life of a giant python. To avoid being killed by the two giant white tigers, Chen Peng could only hide in the cave inside the big mountain.

  "Wow!"

  Chen Peng stretched and let out a big yawn.

  Only after he finished this did he suddenly remember that he was still being chased by the two giant worms, and his heart instantly grew cold with sweat.

  He sneaked to the entrance of the cave and took a peek outside with his eyes, only to find that two big silly worms were still guarding him outside! And they even started a small fight.

  "My god! How can you be so patient? Is it necessary? Can't you just let me go after ruining your nice meal? I admire you guys, but why trap me here?"

  Chen Pengpeng suddenly cursed and shouted loudly.

  If Chen Pengan knew that the two tigers were divine beasts, he would definitely hit his head against the wall. It's not just a delicious meal! As can be seen, the giant python and the white tiger are evenly matched, it can be concluded that they are also of the divine beast level. Those two white tigers thought they could use the giant python's inner dan to improve their cultivation, but were instead disrupted by a human, how could they not be furious?

  "Alright, you guys are so patient, just wait then! I'll go cultivate the 'Arrogant Dominance of the World' that my master taught me and see who has more patience!"

  Chen Pengpeng says he does what he says.

  He went back to sleep on the stone slab, learning from the Buddha's sitting posture, closed his eyes, took a deep breath and entered his own spatial consciousness.

  Suddenly, a voice emerged in his mind, reciting the cultivation method of "Pride of Heaven".

  "The Arrogant Dominance of the World" is a divine cultivation technique born from the fusion of heaven and earth, which requires the purification of one's meridians through suffering. The pain will be unbearable, and you must also undergo the refinement of your true body through the Seven Flavors True Fire. If you can successfully pass these two trials, congratulations to you, you are qualified to cultivate the "Arrogant Dominance of the World" technique! If you unfortunately die in the first or second trial, your soul will scatter and disappear forever from this world!

  "My god! Master didn't tell me it would be so dangerous, isn't this like pushing me into a fire pit? This is too much!"

  Tian Pengpeng complained bitterly in his heart.

  But then he thought of his mother outside, and his brother Xiaofeng who had always supported him, and Weilinv who he had always admired, plus the hatred for Lin who had hurt him, and even his master's last words before he died. His fists were clenched tightly, and he made a firm decision.

  "I agree!"

  Chen said in his heart.

  As soon as Chen Peng finished speaking, a seven-colored divine light enveloped him tightly, not allowing him to move at all. Slowly, Chen Peng felt unbearable pain throughout his body, like millions of ants nibbling away at his flesh bit by bit, causing his sweat to seep out continuously.

  Time is passing bit by bit, but the pain has not decreased at all, on the contrary, it's constantly increasing. Now Chen Peng finally knows what it means to be in agony. If possible, he would rather die a quick death now and put an end to this suffering.

  "Ah!"

  After an unknown period of time in his consciousness, a heart-wrenching and lung-splitting cry came out of Chen Peng's mouth.

  One after another, the sound of breaking bones came out, and then it was reconnected again. This repeated for an unknown number of times, each time Chen Pengpeng would be awakened by the torture, only to be knocked unconscious again.

  When Chen Peng woke up in a daze, he thought he was dead. He wanted to move his body, but it hurt so much that he gritted his teeth and made a cracking sound.

  Before he could catch his breath, a voice suddenly burst into his mind.

  "Congratulations on passing the first level, you have successfully cleansed your meridians. You will now face the challenges of the next level, good luck!"

  The voice finished speaking and disappeared. Immediately, a beam of seven-colored divine light appeared from the consciousness and quickly surrounded Chen Pengpeng again.
