C5 Ruthlessness

"Hah!"

At the peak of the mountain, a thin youth was riding a horse, constantly waving his fists in front of him.

Every single punch the youth threw out exerted all of his strength. After a few punches, beads of sweat could be seen on his forehead.

Lu Yang's face was full of excitement. His father's words kept flashing through his mind. Every move, every move, they were all deeply engraved in his heart.

Two hours later, Lu Zhentian arrived at the back of the mountain. He did not immediately appear, but instead hid far away to observe. When he saw that Lu Yang was not slacking and was fully focused on punching, a faint smile appeared on his face. After a moment, Lu Zhentian slowly walked over and nodded his head in satisfaction, "Not bad, you were able to display your full strength during your first practice. In the future, you will definitely not be worse than me back then."

Hearing this, Lu Yang's face lit up and he said with some excitement: "Father, can I really reach your current cultivation?"

"As long as you work hard, you can definitely surpass me." Lu Zhentian said with certainty.

The reason why Lu Yang worked so hard to cultivate the Body Technique Fist was so that he could bring his mother out of the Lu Manor in the future. Now that he had received his father's acknowledgement, he was overjoyed and was even more sure that he was on the right path. Just like this, a frail youth could be seen every morning. He would come to the peak of the mountain to cultivate his body technique, and even if it was drizzling, he would never give up.

As for why they had to cultivate on the mountain peak, Lu Yang had also asked his father. Lu Zhentian had told him that the purpose of practicing body techniques was to strengthen the body. Cultivating and cultivating body arts were completely different. The latter cultivated the body in order to increase the power within the body and to generate a certain amount of true energy.

The former, on the other hand, absorbed the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, converted it into Spiritual Qi, and improved his cultivation.

Although the world was filled with countless amounts of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth differed in different places and at different times. Under normal circumstances, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth around mountains and rivers was relatively dense. Every morning, when the sun had just risen, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was at its densest.

Cultivating body martial arts seemed to have nothing to do with the spiritual energy of the world, but in reality, it wasn't.

As the number of moves increased, the boxing style became more and more proficient. Every time one moved, one would have to breathe in, and in the air that was sucked in, a portion of it was the ethereal Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. This part of the Sky and Earth aura could also be absorbed by the human body. Over time, the body would become stronger, and the strength of the body would increase, and the true strength would become purer.

That was the reason why he needed to practice body boxing in order to cultivate immortal arts.

The Lu Manor was not big. Any major events that occurred in the manor would soon reach the ears of others. The news of Lu Yang practising body boxing on the back mountain spread like wildfire, and most people didn't pay much attention to it. Some of them had expressions of watching a good show, after all, Lu Yang was a bastard son, and ordinary families didn't have the right to practice body boxing.

At the easternmost courtyard in the Lu Manor, the courtyard in front of them was very large. There were all sorts of flowers and plants growing in the yard, just like a small backyard flower. The owner of this courtyard was none other than the eldest son of the Lu Manor, Lu Tao. At this moment, he had his hands behind his back and was pacing around the courtyard with a grave expression on his face.

An hour later, the door to the courtyard opened and two fifteen to sixteen year old youths walked in.

If Lu Yang was here, he would definitely be able to recognize them. These two people were Lu Tao's training disciples who had been accompanying him for years. To put it nicely, they were Lu Tao's right-hand men. To put it in a bad way, they were actually Lu Tao's henchmen. If Lu Tao wanted them to do it, they had to obey him unconditionally.

Sun Fei and Wang He walked to the side yard and cupped their fists towards Lu Tao. The former respectfully said, "Eldest Young Master, the matter that you had your subordinate investigate is already confirmed."

Lu Tao turned around, glanced at the two, and anxiously asked: "Is the rumors true? Did his father really want him to become the legitimate son? "And he has the right to be the successor?"

In a large clan, it was normal for a concubine to not have this right, but it wasn't absolute. If there was someone who was particularly outstanding and was loved by the current family head, then in terms of cultivation, he would gain the approval of the other elders. This person could change from a concubine to a son. Big families had three wives and four concubines. The so-called three wives and four concubines were actually a single wife, two equal wives, and four concubines that were officially married.

Even though the position of a legitimate concubine wasn't high, it was, after all, an honorable one. Their child could also be considered as their legitimate son. Lu Yang was like a concubine who was divided into two types. One was an illegitimate child secretly born outside, and the other was someone who had suddenly risen up to favor a woman and had a child. The mother of the child had never been formally married off.

If the son of a concubine becomes the legitimate son, the mother of the family can marry him and become his concubine.

The reason why Lu Tao had sent people to ask about Lu Tao was because he had never seen his father being particularly good to any of his sons, not to mention personally teaching them body techniques. Furthermore, the rumors in the manor were more bizarre the more they spread. In the end, even if nothing happened, it sounded like it was true.

Lu Tao was extremely jealous. He couldn't tolerate someone stealing the position of the successor, even if there was the slightest hint. In addition, he had already sought out his mother, and she told him that he could do so without any worries. Even if he committed a grave mistake, his mother could still save his life.

That was the reason why Lu Tao decided to ask around for news of Lu Tao to see if the rumors were true.

Sun Fei and Wang He had been by Lu Tao's side since they were young. They were very clear about Lu Tao's thoughts. The two of them looked at each other and knew what to say.

Sun Fei had already thought of an excuse long ago, so he quickly said, "Young Master, I think the rumors are probably true. If the lord doesn't want that trash to become his son, why would he teach him Body Arts Fist?"

Wang He nodded his head, and agreed: "That's right, I think that even if this matter isn't real, it should be close. I really don't know what the old master is thinking, and why he values such a useless person."

Hearing that, Lu Tao's face turned ugly. He clenched his fists and said coldly, "A trash wants to fight with me for the inheritance right of the family. If I don't teach you a lesson, you really think you're someone great. " After speaking, he looked at the two of them and asked, "How do you think we should deal with that trash?"

He thought for a moment and said: "Young Master, I think it's very simple. Why don't we call that brat over and then Sun Fei will beat him up and tell him that in the future, we can't fight with the young master for the rights to be the next successor of the family, can we?"

Lu Tao was startled, then glared at Wang He, and said snappily: "I say, are you an idiot, or are you originally an idiot? You don't have to think about it. If we really hit him, what would he tell Father? Even if he didn't tell his father, wouldn't his father have seen him being beaten up by us? "

"This ?" Wang He thought that he had thought of a good idea and was waiting for Lu Tao to praise him. However, he didn't expect that he would be scolded and he lowered his head, "Eldest Young Master, that's not what I meant. I mean, we could beat him up into an internal injury, the kind you can't see with the naked eye, and that would be perfect for both of us. "

"Both sides are good, but don't come up with any rotten ideas." Lu Tao's gaze turned to Sun Fei and said, "Since you were young, you have been paying attention. Now you should have a good idea, right?"

On the other hand, Sun Fei's body was relatively thin, but he was extremely quick-witted, and there were some people from the small city. He had already thought of a plan. He never said anything about it. He would wait until Wang He came up with a rotten idea and got scolded. Then, Lu Tao would take the initiative to look for him. Sun Fei knew in his heart that only when the Eldest Young Master talked to him would he be able to leave a deeper impression in Lu Tao's heart.

"Eldest Young Master, may this subordinate dare to ask, we are here to teach that piece of trash a lesson, remind him. Once and for all, this problem will be solved! " As Sun Fei spoke, his eyes flashed with a cold light. Obviously, he had come up with a lot of methods, and each of them were extremely vicious.

Lu Tao's eyes lit up. His interest was piqued and he quickly asked, "Sun Fei, do you have a way to solve this problem?"

Sun Fei nodded and said in a serious tone, "First Young Master, it's actually very easy to solve this problem, that is..." After saying that, he raised his right hand and made a slashing motion towards his neck.

Of course, Lu Tao knew what this action meant. He was shocked and asked, "Sun Fei, is there a mistake? You want to kill him?"

"That's right, as the saying goes, 'good is good.' You can't be a man without poison. If you don't kill him, then there might be even more troubles in the future." Sun Fei was ruthless. If he was a strategist, he was indeed a good one. He thought of everything he did for his master, and he dared to think about it. He dared to do it.

Even though Lu Tao despised Lu Yang since he was young and often bullied him, he had never done anything like killing people. Furthermore, he had never thought of killing people. Don't look at Lu Tao's usual arrogant attitude of not putting the rest of his sons in his eyes. He truly didn't have the guts to do so. Let's think of something else. "

Sun Fei secretly sighed and did not give up. He continued, "Young master, we can think of another way, but we only have one chance. If we don't solve this problem this time, it will only become more and more troublesome in the future. Once that trash is alerted to us, it will be even harder to kill him in the future. "

Sun Fei paused for a moment before continuing, "Young master, I know you are kind-hearted and you are reluctant to kill him out of brotherhood. But would that kid think that in the future? We've been bullying him all these years, but he never said anything. If he becomes the Patriarch in the future, can he spare you, Eldest Young Master? "

"This ?" Lu Tao thought about it for a moment and realized that it was possible. Thus, he asked, "So, does that mean that other than killing him, there's no better way to deal with him?"

Seeing that Lu Tao's heart had wavered, Sun Fei quickly said, "No."

Lu Tao was silent for a while. Then, he gritted his teeth and said: "Tell me your solution! If possible, I'll do as you say. "
