Unbeatable! Invincible! Unparalleled! 26 Chapter 26: The Ronin Samurai!

This building was made up from concrete with a color combination between deep and light blue. Also, the dorm consists of five blocks joined together by a round common hall building at the centre.

From where they stood, Duan Li counted the number of floors slowly using his index finger with squinted eye, and found out that there are a total of ten floors for each block.

"So, your room number is 810 in block B. That's the eight floor, let's get going then! I need to prepare my report too for today as well.. haa.. " sighed w.a.n.g Guozhi.

When he was first offered as a teacher in the academy, he thought that all he needed to do was teach. But now, to think that they had to prepare a report everyday..

What a ha.s.sle!

I should just hire a shadow writer..

...

At first, Duan Li thought that it would take quite an effort to go up the eight floor using the stairs. Fortunately, his body had already underwent a qualitative change from when he absorbed the spiritual Qi from the millennium Yidara tree before.

Therefore, he barely needed to take a break and his breathing remained calm. Had it been his previous limpy body before, not to mention the eight floor, even going onto the third floor would have already caused his breathing to become haggard like an old man.

As they reached the eight floor, a student that came out from his room saw them and greeted with a cheerful smile and a wave.

"Ehh? Senior Teacher w.a.n.g Guozhi? Nice to meet you here!" he said.

"Ohh, Shen Lu! Your room is also on this floor as well? That's great!" he exclaimed with gleaming eyes.

"Could you show him to his room? He is Duan Li and is a new student in the academy! I needed to go now or else I wouldn't be able to complete my report for the day!"

Farewell!

After saying his piece, w.a.n.g Guozhi immediately bolted out from the opening at the stairs and flew away. Leaving Duan Li with Shen Lu in a daze.

"..." Duan Li and Shen Lu

Ahem!

Duan Li cleared his throat as he turned towards the man called Shen Lu.

"Nice to meet you, I am Duan Li from Xuan village, 21 years old. I'm sorry for the trouble.." said Duan Li feeling guilty that he was suddenly being pa.s.sed onto someone else.

"Ahahaha! Don't worry! It is of no trouble! I am Shen Lu by the way!" the man replied casually as he laughed it out.

"Anyway.. you sure are carrying a lot of books there.. You don't have a spatial ring?" he asked with a weird look to his face.

Nowadays, no one actually carried such a burden along with them physically anymore as they stowed them all inside their spatial ring for convenience.

"Emm.. no.. not yet.." replied Duan Li with an embarra.s.sed look.

"Hahahahaha! No wonder! Well, come! Let this brother here help you out a little bit!"

He quickly s.n.a.t.c.hed a few books from Duan Li's hands.

Pointing to a direction further at the back, they began to walk while carrying the books.

"It's that way! Let's go!"

...

'creaakk!'

Duan Li had finally arrived at his own room.

In this room, he could see that there were one study table with one chair facing the window, a small table lamp, a bed, a shelf and one closet. It would seemed that every room has all these essential furnitures in it.

Bam!

Duan Li and Shen Lu put the stack of books on top of the bed.

"Thank you for your a.s.sistance brother Shen Lu! I owe you a favor for this!" Duan Li bowed as he thanked him sincerely.

"Ahahahaha! It's fine! Unfortunately, I have to go now too to meet someone soon. How about we eat breakfast tomorrow morning together? We will have more time to introduce ourselves then!" he suggested.

Duan Li thought to himself that this Shen Lu guy is pretty friendly and the air around him makes it easy for him to talk to with as well.

"Sure, let us eat together tomorrow morning then!" replied Duan Li with a nod.

"Alright! See you tomorrow!"

Bam!

Just like that, he made his first friend in the academy after Xiahou Yu.

...

Duan Li sorted the books out one by one as he put them on his shelf. He looked at the paper receipt and pinned it onto the wall. It seems that he needed to return them within a week. If he wanted to continue borrowing them, he had to go to the librarian again to renew it.

"Hmm, let's start with this book.."

Duan Li picked out the 'Comprehensive Human Meridian Channel Compendium'

Thud!

The book was very heavy, swiftly checking the end page, Duan Li saw the numbers 461 at the end.

His eyebrows twitched..

"Could I actually reach the 1st level of the Qi Condensation realm within three days..?"

Haa..

...

Duan Li took four hours to finally finish reading the whole book. He ma.s.saged his temple together with his thumbs as he felt a little bit headache from all that reading.

Now that I have finished reading them all and memorized everything..

Let's see..

Duan Li closed his eyes.

s.h.i.+ngggg!

Duan Li could see another new pathways that travelled around his body. It seems like this is the meridians inside my body?

He observed his meridians as he could see that there is a kind of flow there but everything was stagnated and flowed really slowly.

"Is this the internal force within my body?" thought Duan Li.

Within the book, there was a mention regarding the internal force inside the body that exists in the meridians.

This internal force is separate from the spiritual Qi, but they exists together as well. Like Yin and Yang, they made up the total amount of prowess one could hold if they master the usage of the both of them.

"Hmm.. now that I've learnt that one.. next should be.. the human acupoints huh?"

He put the previous book back to the shelf as he took out the '2000 Acupoints in the Human Body'.

Thud!

"..."

This book is even thicker, a total of 912 pages!

Even for someone who loved reading, this book is too much!

Who in their right minds would compile everything into a single big book?

Haa...

Duan Li sighed as he immersed himself reading the book word by word, not missing any details.

...

After around 8 hours..

"F-finally.. done.."

Duan Li slumped his head above the book with tired face. His eyebag is already making it look like he is one of those malnourished panda.

He looked towards the window with difficulty as he realized that it was already dark.

"It seems that.. its already pa.s.sed midnight.. got.. to.. sleep.." he said weakly as he forces his body to move limpidly onto his bed.

He didn't even bother to check whether or not he had gained the ability to see the acupuncture points with his All-seeing eye ability.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he immediately fell asleep.

s.h.i.+nggg!

His All-Seeing eye activated. Thankfully, he could only see it when he was conscious. Otherwise, he might suffer from mental damage of being unable to sleep..

...

The next morning..

Duan Li rustled around within his blanket.

As his consciousness woke up, he jumped up in a fright as he saw his body to be all bones and muscles.

Holy-f*ck!

It turns out that he had forgotten to open up his eyelids...

Yawnnnnn!!

Duan Li stood up from his bed lazily with a back stretch.

It was quite chilly in the early morning so out of habit he tucked his left arm inside his clothes as he walked out of his room with droopy eyes.

He remembered that the Shen Lu fella whom he called brother before, had told him that everyone on each floor shared the same public bathroom together.

Thus, bringing his toothbrush and other morning amenities, he slided through the hallway among the many students who also lived on this floor.

"Hey, look! Its a new face!"

"Ohh? Its weird to have a new student at this time of the year.."

"This man looked a little bit older than us, but he seemed weak.."

"I think so too.. should we play a prank on him?"

The people around him whispered here and there as they made a few a.s.sumptions regarding the background of Duan Li.

"But hey, look at the way he is walking.. that staunched stance.. that indiffereny expressions.. he looks just like one of those ronin samurai from the Eastern lands!" one person commented.

"Lets open up a path! I don't want to get in trouble with someone like that!"

People began opening up a path for him to walk.

Duan Li hadn't realized any of this yet as his mind was still in a daze after that long reading last night.

Suddenly..

"Stop right there!" shouted a man who seemed to be 18 years old.

This man had quite the colorful pattern to him as his hair was dyed with the color of red, blue, green and yellow.

When Duan Li raised his gaze to look at the person in front of him, still in a daze, he blurted out a sentence;

"A peac.o.c.k.."

Gasp!

The crowd sucked in cold breath.

"Did he just call brother Zhang Li, the famous bully among junior students of the academy, as a peac.o.c.k?"

Pu!

The crowd exclaimed in shock!

This new guy is quite savage with his words!

New boy, we know that his hair color looked like a peac.o.c.k, but you shouldn't say that out loud you know?

"He is finished! Once brother Zhang Li gets enraged, that guy would be beaten up to a pulp!"

"This is bad! Should we report this?"

"No don't! I want to see how this goes!"

The crowd then started to back up to give them both a s.p.a.ce for a few good rounds of brawling.

After all, the use of spiritual Qi within the dorm is forbidden, and for security purposes, runic formations was around somewhere to seal their spiritual Qi are put into place on the foundation of each block.

Thus, when there are fights at the dorm, people usually resorted to the good ol' fists method!

"Y-you!! You dare call me.. a peac.o.c.k!" said Zhang Li enraged as he put up his hands together with clenched fist as he twisted his neck left and right to produce that 'crack' sound.

"T-that is his famous fighting style.. called boxing!" exclaimed one of the crowds.

Poor new student, today is your bad luck it seems..

Zhang Li curled up his mouth into a sneer as he moved in a stepping motion, zig-zagging between left and right with his arms raised.

"Take this!" he shouted out as he threw a left hook in a sudden jerk.

When he saw that Duan Li seemed too slow to react he smiled in disdain!

This snail!

But, just as his fist was only 1 centimeter away from hitting Duan Li's face, the latter suddenly disappeared.

Whoooshhh!

Bam!

Gales of wind pushed his face up against the wall, knocked unconscious.

His left hook had punched the empty air!

Gasp!

Seeing this scene, the crowd sucked in air again as they stood silent for a while before breaking into storm.

"W-what the h.e.l.l! Did you guys see that!"

"Unbelievable! To dodge at the last moment! But where is he..?!" said one of the crowd.

They then look around to see that Duan Li was already at the end of the hallway turning the door k.n.o.b of the public bathroom casually.

"..." everyone.
