Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 1135: True Proof (11)

The dimly lit back alley, Wang Chen facing five alone.

Four muscular athletes encircled Wang Chen, three of them wielding baseball bats, and even if they excluded the vocational student at the back, their apparent strength completely overwhelmed him.

The eyes of each one of them held a teasing hue, as if a cat playing with a mouse, showing a hint of excitement and cruelty.

As the "resident toughs" of their little gang, they had done similar jobs more than once.

Each time they had reaped both money and satisfaction.

It was downright addictive!

As for that sponsor—the vocational student—he was eager to see Wang Chen kneeling and begging for mercy.

He even opened his palm, fantasizing about the joy of slapping Wang Chen.

However, in the next instant, Wang Chen suddenly made his move, abruptly seizing the baseball bat pointing at him and snatching it away!

Besides its intended purpose, a baseball bat is also a perfectly legal and compliant close combat weapon.

Right sized for gripping, easy to use, made of durable material, with controllable damage...

It has many advantages.

The athlete threatening Wang Chen was an old hand with a baseball bat. He knew Wang Chen had some skill—otherwise people wouldn’t pay top dollar for them, the Four Vajras, to pick a fight—so he was on guard.

But he had never imagined that the weapon firmly in his grasp would be snatched away by Wang Chen in an instant.

The athlete was dumbfounded.

Before he could react, a cylindrical object struck hard against his abdomen!

"Ugh..."

The tall and strong athlete immediately bent over, donning a mask of pain, his brute strength utterly useless, and he went weak in the knees, falling to the ground.

The immense pain radiating from his abdomen made him want to vomit, and then he heard the dull sounds of blows and the ensuing cries and howls behind him!

In just a moment’s time, all five guys who were just still aggressive and intimidating were lying on the ground, crying their eyes out.

It hurt too much, truly too much! frёewebnoѵēl.com

None of them had a clear view of Wang Chen’s actions before their joints and ribs were precisely targeted and painfully struck.

This kind of agony penetrated deep into their bones and had a prolonged effect, making them wish for death on the spot, yet they had to endure it fully conscious.

To say their souls were scattered would not be an overstatement!

Smack! Smack! Smack!

Wang Chen, holding the bat in his right hand, lightly tapped it against his left palm, mimicking the actions of that very same guy from earlier.

Every sound of Wang Chen’s tapping, as it reached the ears of the five people lying on the ground, felt as though it was striking heavily upon their heads, causing their entire minds to buzz.

It was unbearable to the extreme!

At this moment, Wang Chen spoke: "Today I’m in a good mood, so I’ll just teach you a little lesson. If any of you are dissatisfied, just bring more people to come find me."

"I’ll keep beating you until you submit!"

In that last sentence, Wang Chen’s tone was utterly chilling, exuding a cold, murderous aura.

The five athletes and the vocational student lying on the ground all subconsciously shuddered, as profound fear arose in their hearts and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

Some even let out a silent wail—they had provoked a monster!

Following that, these scoundrels endured a second wave of baton "education".

Screams of agony and wails of despair rose and fell, echoing through the dim alley, causing passersby to hurry away upon hearing them.

"What joy!"

Wang Chen tossed the baseball bat onto one of the athletes writhing on the ground, returning it to its original owner.

He hadn’t exerted much effort in beating them; he used not brute force, but rather a sinister strength, and the targeted strikes were precise, inflicting excruciating pain but without causing any real harm.

After being sent to the hospital for an injury examination, not even a minor injury could be detected!

However, this lesson was enough to make this scum remember for a lifetime, trembling at the thought of tonight’s events.

Wang Chen believed that many innocent students would benefit from this.

Most importantly, his thoughts had become clear and unobstructed.

The shame of the past had vanished with the wind at this moment!

As Wang Chen stepped out of the alley, his Spiritual Energy silently advanced to the level of the Second Ring.

Back at school, Xiao Xudong was still waiting at the dormitory entrance. Seeing Wang Chen return safely, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked, "Brother Chen, are you alright?"

"Do I look like I’m not alright?"

Wang Chen said with a smile, "The issue has been resolved; let’s go eat."

Xiao Xudong was bewildered: "Okay, okay, let’s go for a meal."

Wang Chen patted his shoulder.

After the two had dinner in the school cafeteria, Wang Chen said goodbye to Xiao Xudong, who like Wang Chen’s four roommates, was a local from the provincial city and thus would go home on the weekends.

Wang Chen then went to retrieve his bicycle from the shed and rode all the way back home to Shangma Village.

By the time he arrived in the village, it was already very dark.

In the vast village, only a few households still had their lights on, and from somewhere came the faint barking of dogs, carrying a touch of desolation.

But for Wang Chen, this place made him feel more at ease.

Returning to his rented house, Wang Chen first took a cold shower, then went up to the wide terrace on the third floor.

He sat down on a recliner, gazing up at the boundless night sky.

Shangma Village was originally a true rural area, but due to the rapid expansion of the provincial city, it had become a suburban village, and the city lights had also tainted its sky, so that not many stars could be seen at night.

However, in Wang Chen’s vision, or more accurately his Perception, the world had become different.

His Spiritual Energy spread silently around him, more acute and enduring than before, and he discovered energy that roamed free between heaven and earth.

This energy was not nature’s Spiritual Energy; it originated from the sun, the moon, the stars, and the Milky Way universe, constantly pervasive in every corner of this world after being filtered and obstructed by Earth’s magnetic field.

And it silently affected all things in heaven and earth.

Including humans!

Although Wang Chen, with the help of his own Spiritual Energy, perceived the existence of this cosmic energy.

He did not dare to touch it recklessly.

Because the current Wang Chen was not yet qualified to control and harness this energy, premature contact could potentially bring disaster upon himself!

But this vast and immense power not only instilled deep awe in Wang Chen, but also sparked a strong curiosity.

Even a slight use of this power could bring unimaginable benefits to him!

It was only when a slight headache emerged that Wang Chen retracted the Spiritual Energy he had extended.

His Spiritual Energy was not unlimited, and there were restrictions in quantity. Excessive consumption would certainly damage the Divine Soul.

And that would be difficult to recover from.

Wang Chen closed his eyes, and a Dharma Technique from the "Supreme Mysterious Divine Origin Scripture" surfaced in his mind.

The "Supreme Mysterious Divine Origin Scripture" was an excellent spell for cultivating the Divine Soul; since it was independent of Spiritual Power and Soul Strength, it could be contemplated and practiced even in the Spiritless Land, which is why he chose it to enhance his Spiritual Energy.

Concentrating his mind and calming his breath, clearing away all distractions, Wang Chen began his daily cultivation.
