I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 38: Isolation

Wiping off his sweat, Zhang Yuan sat down on the stone bench beside the Martial Arts Arena.

The big trees provided shade, shielding him from the sun. Coupled with the cool breeze, he felt extremely comfortable.

"Dinner’s ready!"

Several servants, carrying two large wooden buckets, came over and placed them in front of the group of martial arts trainees.

One of the big wooden buckets was filled with white steamed buns, while the other was filled with vegetable soup!

The young trainees, who were already famished, cheered in unison.

Although their eyes were gleaming with hunger.

No one rushed forward to snatch anything, but instead, they neatly lined up.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan also queued up at the back of the line.

Since there weren’t too many people, he quickly received his lunch.

Two large buns stuffed with soy sauce pork, and a bowl of vegetable and egg flower soup!

This kind of meal in the county could only be afforded by well-off families.

Zhang Yuan sat down and took a big bite of the bun, his mouth instantly filled with rich oil.

The bun was white and soft, without any mixed grains, exuding a fragrant sweetness.

The soy sauce pork inside was seventy percent fat and thirty percent lean, rich in oil and flavor, instantly whetting his appetite.

In just a few bites, Zhang Yuan finished one stuffed bun and drank half a bowl of vegetable and egg flower soup.

He immediately felt a sense of contentment in life!

The Furious Whale Gang was indeed one of the top powers in Daqian’s martial world, just the financial resources of this Linhai Sub-Branch were extraordinary, able to provide such good food.

A Martial Artist’s Qi Blood comes from their physique, benefits from their cultivation technique, and requires nourishment from food.

Wealth begets strength!

Because lunch was unlimited, Zhang Yuan rarely opened up his stomach, devouring five stuffed buns.

And three bowls of vegetable and egg flower soup!

However, he was so focused on eating that he didn’t notice the strange looks from around him.

After filling his stomach, Zhang Yuan asked for a bowl of iced tea.

Sitting under the tree, he digested his food.

As soon as he took a sip of tea, three young men approached him.

"Are you Zhang Yuan?"

A handsome young man, around fourteen or fifteen years old, asked, "Are you a relative of Instructor Dong or someone else?"

Zhang Yuan was quite annoyed by the other’s tone, but remained calm on the outside: "No."

This arrogant young man reminded him of the Chen Family’s young master.

However, this person’s demeanor was far superior to that fool who had already died under Zhang Yuan’s blade!

Zhang Yuan guessed he must be the offspring of some important figure in the Furious Whale Gang.

Such people were the most troublesome.

Zhang Yuan disliked trouble, but trouble often found him.

Just like these young men before him!

"How is that possible?"

The handsome young man was incredulous: "If you had no connections, why did Instructor Dong teach us the first three moves of the Thunderous Palm Technique today? Everyone has already learned them long ago."

"He did it just to teach you, the newcomer!"

The young man spoke confidently, as if he had discovered a great secret.

The other two young men chimed in: "Exactly, exactly, how can you deny it?"

Zhang Yuan was speechless.

He drank the tea in his bowl in one gulp and said calmly, "For this question, I suggest you ask Instructor Dong. I believe he will definitely give you an answer."

The handsome young man was left speechless.

If he dared to question Dong Yuanwei, why would he bother talking to Zhang Yuan?

After a moment, the handsome young man said angrily, "I will remember you!"

After issuing a threat, he turned to leave.

Zhang Yuan suddenly said, "Wait."

The handsome young man immediately smiled, "What do you want to say?"

Zhang Yuan smiled: "I don’t even know who you are."

The handsome young man’s face immediately turned red: "Remember, my name is Xu Zhengyang!"

After saying this, he left with his two followers.

Zhang Yuan nodded.

This person was quite arrogant.

But not bad.

Zhang Yuan was most troubled by those unruly and unreasonable spoiled brats.

Although Xu Zhengyang’s status was quite unusual, he clearly had no intention of using his status to suppress Zhang Yuan.

Therefore, he wasn’t hard to deal with.

However, Zhang Yuan quickly discovered that he was being isolated by his "classmates"!

No one sought out Zhang Yuan to speak, let alone exchange pleasantries or get close, as if a vacuum surrounded him.

Everyone kept their distance from Zhang Yuan.

Change it to another peer, facing such a situation, they might experience a variety of negative emotions.

But Zhang Yuan felt...

Great!

He didn’t think that trying to befriend these strangers could bring him much benefit.

Zhang Yuan’s identity and ambitions meant he and Xu Zhengyang weren’t on the same path.

So unless Zhang Yuan was willing to bow and acknowledge Xu Zhengyang as his elder brother, what did isolation matter?

The crucial thing was that with no disturbances, he could focus entirely on learning martial arts.

So Zhang Yuan went to a corner of the Martial Arts Arena and practiced the Thunderous Palm Technique over and over again.

Sweat drenched his clothes, dripping steadily from the hem.

As it landed, it stirred up small clouds of dust.

Zhang Yuan was oblivious. He even lost track of time, fully immersed in it.

All along, Zhang Yuan had an unshakeable sense of crisis within him.

This crisis stemmed from his experiences in the county years ago.

The bearded master who killed seven Wandering Heroes in mere ten breaths left an indelible impression on Zhang Yuan.

Many nights he woke up from nightmares.

Feeling as if traces of blood splatter still lingered on his face!

This experience made Zhang Yuan deeply aware of the dangers in this world, so he would rather endure hardships than exploit his past life’s knowledge for profit.

Weakness is the original sin!

For the same reason, Zhang Yuan developed a strong desire to learn martial arts.

He went to great lengths to please Hunter Gao.

But ended up gaining nothing. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Now that he finally had the chance to study martial arts, why would he waste time on trivialities!

And the scene of Zhang Yuan diligently practicing the Thunderous Palm Technique was clearly seen by Dong Yuanwei and Chen Zhize from the corner tower!

After watching for a moment, Dong Yuanwei suddenly said, "He has potential."

Chen Zhize said, "I’ve already checked, Zhang Yuan’s background is clean. He only has a widowed mother at home and no involvement with the Fierce Tiger Gang."

"As for the unusual aspects, they may well be due to his talent and luck!"

"Hmm."

Dong Yuanwei nodded: "Then let’s observe him for a while longer. If there are no problems, he is worth cultivating as a core disciple."

Chen Zhize smiled, "I believe if given a chance, Zhang Yuan will definitely surprise us!"

Dong Yuanwei sighed: "That would be best. Right now, our Furious Whale Gang is in a transitional phase, deeply entrenched problems within our gang require refreshing with new blood, it’s tough on you."

Chen Zhize shook his head, "It’s part of my duty, it’s only right."

He dared not respond further.

After all, Dong Yuanwei’s position was special; it was one thing for him to speak candidly.

But Chen Zhize was merely a Little Incense Master.

The two of them fell silent and once again turned their gaze to Zhang Yuan.

That young man tirelessly continued to practice his palm strikes!
