BANG!

At night, in a corner of the training base, a sharp crack shattered the silence.

One punch, and the brick crumbled!

"Master, I... I shattered the brick!" Lu Pengju said ecstatically, looking at the brick before him, now snapped in two.

"And my hand doesn't even hurt! Haha, this feels damn amazing!"

After just one day of hard and diligent cultivation, Lu Pengju tried once more to punch a brick.

This time, he reached the level of an inner strength cultivator. Even Lin Feng, standing to the side, could feel a fluctuation of Inner Strength!

"You now have the strength to challenge Yao Bin," Lin Feng said, looking at the excited Lu Pengju. His words made Lu Pengju's eyes light up.

Ordinarily, a person's strength couldn't improve so drastically in just a few days. However, the difference between an inner strength cultivator and one who was not lay precisely in this.

Even reaching the entry-level of inner strength cultivation was a qualitative leap compared to ordinary Martial Artists.

Lu Pengju's grueling cultivation over the past few days, sleeping only two hours a night, had allowed him to rapidly achieve this qualitative leap!

After practicing for almost another half hour, Lu Pengju and Lin Feng returned to the dormitory, just as the others were returning from their nightly exercises.

"Lu Pengju, fetch me a jug of water. I'm dead tired today; I want a nice bath," Yao Bin ordered casually as he entered the dormitory and saw Lu Pengju, stretching lazily.

These past few days, he had grown accustomed to ordering Lu Pengju around to do his chores.

"Oh, right, wash this shirt of mine too!" Yao Bin added, taking off his stinky, sweat-soaked shirt and tossing it at Lu Pengju, who was resting on his bed with his eyes closed.

However, this time, unlike usual, Lu Pengju remained lying on his bed, not even opening his eyes.

After changing his shirt, Yao Bin saw Lu Pengju still motionless. He furrowed his brow and raised his voice, "Lu Pengju, I'm talking to you! Did you hear me?!"

Lu Pengju slowly opened his eyes, his face emotionless. "I heard you!"

His voice was just as loud, completely overpowering Yao Bin's.

Yao Bin's face instantly darkened. He was completely taken aback, never expecting Lu Pengju to dare shout back at him!

"You fucking grew some balls, huh? Daring to talk to me like that? Get your ass in gear, fetch my bathwater, and wash my clothes! You hear me?"

Yao Bin had always bullied the weak and feared the strong. In his eyes, Lu Pengju was undoubtedly a timid man. Moreover, he was confident he could keep the mild-tempered Lu Pengju in check, so he had always treated ordering him around as perfectly natural.

Hearing this, Lu Pengju sat up, looked Yao Bin straight in the eye, and said coldly, "Yao Bin, don't you ever talk to me in that tone again, and don't order me around. Let the past be the past. From now on, we're equals. Don't even think about me doing your chores! I'm not your dog!"

With fury in his voice, Lu Pengju finally voiced everything he had been holding back.

He had always wanted to say these words but lacked the strength before. But now, with Master Lin Feng's help, he finally had the confidence to say them!

Hearing Lu Pengju's somewhat aggressive tone, Yao Bin's cheek twitched.

He clenched his fists and snorted coldly. "Damn it, did you take the wrong medicine today or something, daring to talk back to me? I'll say it again: go get my bathwater and wash my clothes, and I'll pretend tonight never happened. Otherwise, I'll make you regret it tonight!"

Yao Bin's eyes looked as if they were about to shoot fire.

It was bad enough that Lin Feng dared to oppose him, but for Lu Pengju to also have such audacity!

"If you've got the guts—try and make me regret it!" Lu Pengju stared at Yao Bin, clenching his teeth as he spoke fiercely.

His own fists were clenched just as tightly.

"Damn it, you're asking for a beating!" Hearing Lu Pengju's provocative words, the enraged Yao Bin could no longer hold back and threw a punch straight at Lu Pengju's face.

"I've put up with your crap for too long!" Lu Pengju, already prepared, roared and threw a punch back at Yao Bin.

The fighting spirit he had suppressed for so long finally erupted!

He couldn't stand being bullied anymore!

Fight back!

BANG!

Their fists collided, and both stumbled back a step.

Yao Bin staggered, almost losing his balance. He barely managed to steady himself by grabbing the bedpost behind him, avoiding a fall.

This kid! When did he get so strong?! Yao Bin shuddered with shock. He had used nearly 80% of his strength in that punch, expecting to knock Lu Pengju down, but instead, he was the one almost sent sprawling!

Seeing the shocked expression on Yao Bin's face, Lu Pengju felt a surge of secret satisfaction.

He had only used sixty percent of his strength to send Yao Bin reeling—that was something he wouldn't have even dared to dream of before.

"Yao Bin, I'm giving you one chance. Apologize to me now, and I'll let this go."

Taking two slow steps forward, Lu Pengju stood with his hands clasped behind his back. His voice carried an arrogant, domineering air. At last, he could hold his head high in front of Yao Bin!

"Apologize? Apologize my ass! Fuck you!"

To be so humiliated by the underling he had always bullied made Yao Bin's lips tremble with rage. He lunged at Lu Pengju like a mad dog.

"Hmph. Since you're asking for it, then I won't be polite!"

With a cold snort, Lu Pengju clenched his fists and met the charging Yao Bin with a flurry of his own punches and kicks.

With the disparity in their strength, the outcome was immediately apparent.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

Lu Pengju attacked with a barrage of punches from both fists. Yao Bin managed to block a couple before he could no longer withstand the assault.

Under Lu Pengju's fierce assault, Yao Bin was repeatedly hit in the face, abdomen, and chest. He staggered, lost his footing, and collapsed.

"Lu Pengju, you motherf..." Even as he lay there, Yao Bin still refused to accept the truth: Lu Pengju's strength was now far beyond his own!

"Hmph! Still stubborn even now? Today, I'm going to beat you until you look like a panda!"

Remembering all his past anger towards Yao Bin, Lu Pengju's fury surged. He kicked Yao Bin repeatedly, making him howl in pain.

"Apologize to me!"

"Pah! Impossible... Kid, I'll get my revenge someday..."

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

"Apologize!"

"Never..."

THUMP! THUMP!

"Still not apologizing?"

"N..."

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

"Don't... don't... stop hitting me... I apologize..."

Yao Bin, beaten until he resembled a panda, finally couldn't take Lu Pengju's relentless torment any longer and waved the white flag.

"I apologize to you... I'm... I'm sorry... From now on, I won't order you around anymore..." Gasping for breath under Lu Pengju's fierce gaze, Yao Bin offered a thoroughly humiliated surrender and apology.
