The Scum Is A ***

Chapter 58 - The Scum Is Powerful



As Xie Lan suggested, the disciples training alchemy – Li Tian, Lei Ling and You Rou, learned martial arts while the disciples training in martial arts – Fei Yin, Feng Mo and Lei Qing, learned alchemy. As the one in between – or, actually, have the both worlds, Cheng Sheng was personally trained by Xie Lan while the six were under observation by Fan Wen.

Li Tian is average in martial arts, so he only needs to improve his martial arts. Meanwhile, Lei Ling and You Rou are clumsy using their sword. Initially, Xie Lan –as their sect leader, has given them their sword. But, Lei Ling and You Rou neglected their sword and practiced alchemy. They only use their sword during Fan Wen's martial arts classes. Even their fellow disciples are better than them. In short, the two of them are on the bottom of the Martial Arts ranking of their sect.

But, they can't disobey Xie Lan. Practicing their sword can also protect themselves aside the alchemy. Thus, they began to learn the basic sword skills. Li Tian was teaching them. Why not Fan Wen? It's because Fan Wen has his hands full in teaching Fei Yin, Feng Mo and Lei Qing basic alchemy.

Fan Wen's face is darker than the bottom of the pot Feng Mo was using. Among the three, Fei Yin is better. Not because he is the da shixiong who excelled in both studies and sword, but because he is good at cooking. This is thanks to Cheng Sheng who Fei Yin feeds every day. Thus, he received a passing grade in Pill Concocting from Fan Wen. Pill Refining is removing the impurities in the magic pills, but they don't need to study this for now. Seeing Feng Mo almost broke the cauldron and Lei Qing who was crying after being choked by the smoke and murdering the herbs, Fan Wen gave up on teaching them Pill Concocting.

The next he taught to the three is Spell Casting. Surprisingly, the three of them passed. Fei Yin easily memorizes the spells and casts them fast. Li Tian suddenly cried, saying their da shixiong is indeed their da shixiong. He bested Li Tian in Spell Casting. On the other hand, Lei Qing only memorized a few words and casts the spells with simpler words. The effect decreased but it is better than nothing. Meanwhile, Feng Mo showed a good performance. Unlike in Pill Concocting, Feng Mo can cast spells at an average pace. He's slightly worse than Fei Yin and Lei Qing, but his performance is passable. When Fan Wen asked him how he did it, he answered –

"I already failed Pill Concocting. I will apologize for failing shimei's expectation. However, I feel like I will disrespect Li-shixiong, and disappoint founder, shifu… everyone, if I'll fail here." Feng Mo said, his eyes burning.

He's really zealous. They thought, but a smile was on their face. Fei Yin and Lei Qing were moved, thus they did their best in Talisman Making. Fortunately, it wasn't Cheng Sheng who was teaching them. Not that Fan Wen is lacking compared to Cheng Sheng in Talisman Making, but because Cheng Sheng's talismans are really too… unique.

Lei Ling who happened to pass by them and saw them succeeded making a few talismans is very proud. I finally have comrades! He thought and almost cried on the spot. However, he didn't know that this performance is only for the competition. When the competition ends, the three would never touch a talisman again.

Cheng Sheng's talismans may be too unique, but Fan Wen is stricter than Cheng Sheng when teaching! They cried in their heart. Their shifu is indeed their shifu. Cheng Sheng has longer patience than Fan Wen, and is carefree in teaching Talisman Making. Yet Fan Wen… Fei Yin, Feng Mo and Lei Qing felt that they couldn't move their hands and their eyes are seeing circles after making many talismans.

Fan Wen sighed and pitied the six disciples before him who were lying on the ground, dead tired. They suddenly turned to the direction of the Training Hall when they heard a loud explosion. Even if Li Tian, Lei Ling and You Rou were training with their sword, but it was just the basics so they trained with Fei Yin, Feng Mo and Lei Qing who were practicing alchemy on the west mountain near the Meditation Hall.

Today, sixth day of the disciples' training, the Training Hall is occupied by Xie Lan and Cheng Sheng. Xie Lan was idle while Cheng Sheng doesn't need to train with his fellow disciples since his talent is above theirs. Thus, the two decided to spar with each other in the Training Hall.

The six disciples, together with their shifu, flew across the Xinfaxian and reached the east mountain. When they neared it, they felt the fluctuation in the air. Then, they saw a big hole on the Training Hall's roof, and all the weapons inside – their blade sticking out of the roof like the roof was skewered.

"Lan! Xiao Sheng!" Fan Wen called and flew to the ground. The six disciples behind him followed and they all ran inside the Training Hall. They saw Xie Lan – who was near them, and Cheng Sheng was standing on the other side far from them.

Cheng Sheng's face is emotionless as he looked at Xie Lan. Fan Wen and the others can't see Xie Lan's expression since his back is on them. Cheng Sheng's gaze finally moved away from Xie Lan and he turned to Fan Wen and the six people behind him. "Shifu. Da shixiong. Li-shixiong. Feng-shixiong. Shijie. Shimei. Lei-shidi." He called the six people.

"Lan…?" Fan Wen called, his eyes only on Xie Lan's back.

Xie Lan has already felt Fan Wen and the six flying towards the east mountain. However, currently, he can't move since he was injured. He can't face Fan Wen since there's blood trickling out of his mouth. He regulated his qi and he forced a laugh. "I'm fine. I'm fine – " he said and used his qi to wipe the blood off the corner of his mouth. The Spiritual Awakening Method is very scary. He thought as he looked at Cheng Sheng who was beaten by him, yet looked nothing like injured. Instead, it was him who was pale since he received an internal injury after provoking Cheng Sheng from using his golden core.

He was careless. The power hidden in Cheng Sheng's body is too strong he was hit just from one wave when Cheng Sheng released the power in his body. However, it only helped Cheng Sheng rise one level. Even so, rising one level in just a second is already heaven-defying. Currently, Cheng Sheng's level is mid-level Golden Core.

"What happened?" Fan Wen asked after the fluctuations in the air disappeared. They immediately entered the Training Hall.

"Cheng-shidi." While Fan Wen went to check on Xie Lan, the six people went and gather around Cheng Sheng.

"I'll tell you later." Xie Lan whispered to Fan Wen and turned to Cheng Sheng and the others. "Xiao Sheng." He called.

"Yes, founder." Cheng Sheng answered, his robes were torn and have bloodstains. His face also has cuts.

"After you fix yourself, you and Xiao Yin would teach your fellow disciples." Xie Lan told him. "Your shifu and I have something to do." He said. "Xiao Sheng will teach you alchemy, while Xiao Yin will teach you martial arts. Tomorrow and you'll change teachers to help you breakthrough on your bottleneck." He told them.

"We understand, founder, shifu!" they all bowed.

Xie Lan just nodded at them and he and Fan Wen – who was still confused, left. "Are you alright, Cheng-shidi?" Li Tian asked when their shifu and founder left.

Cheng Sheng nodded and wiped the blood on his forehead. "I'm fine." He answered and took out a Cleaning Talisman, then pasted it on himself. His robes became clean, but were still torn. His face darkened. Xie Lan is really merciless. Using sword on this pitiful disciple! He thought, then remembered Xie Lan was provoking him. He can only sigh. "I'll change my robes first. Shijie. Feng-shixiong. Meet me on the foot of the south mountain." He told them, then turned to Fei Yin. "How about da shixiong's group?" he asked.

Fei Yin has been staring at Cheng Sheng, looking for changes. However, he didn't see anything, and so he can only give up. "Li-shidi. Lei-shidi. You-shimei. Since we can't use the Training Hall, we'll be training on the foot of this mountain." He told them.

"Yes!" they answered.

Cheng Sheng then left and headed to the north mountain where their – disciples', residence is, to change his robes. Meanwhile, Lei Qing and Feng Mo flew to the south mountain. Fei Yin, Li Tian, Lei Ling and You Rou walked down the mountain, passed by a stream and filled their bamboo tubes water, then continued to descend.
