Tong Tong wore a smiling face as she walked to the group of disciples who were practising. Although I arrived late by two hours, no one can blame me… Why didn’t Small Brother Qing Feng tell me the path to take? A lesson learned; reach out to those who don’t smile, but those who do smile are not bad! This is the first lesson you are taught by your senior workers!

However, soon enough Tong Tong’s smile dropped. What’s going on? After taking one look at her then you leave? She hasn’t even asked a question yet? Do you need to subtract people when someone appears? She doesn’t even look that scary right…

Eventually, she came across a person who didn’t flinch away when she approached, but still maintained her sitting posture, cross-legged, eyes calmly staring forward. Tong Tong put on her confident smile, bent over, and asked sweetly, “Senior Sister, can I ask…”

No response.

Tong Tong’s smile froze for a moment, then went up a little bit as she came closer, was about to touch noses with this person– at this distance, one could see a few small faint freckles on both sides of her nose and count them.

“Excuse me, I want…”

Still no response.

Tongtong straightened herself and swept her eyes across the circle of those who thought they were well hidden. She couldn’t take it anymore. Her head grew hot, and shouted: “I asked you something, why didn’t you answer? Are you deaf?” The last word was dragged out for four seconds so that the clouds in the distance shuddered and any unstable mountain peaks collapsed. A few shocked disciples looked over anxiously with frightened and angry eyes.

“This one is not deaf…” The person Tongtong had awoken looked like a deity sculpture sitting down, her appearance didn’t look anything out of the normal. The only reason Tongtong went to find her was not just because the other party didn’t flee at first sight, nor was it because she sat pretentiously, but it was because she wore a distinctive dark purple clothing. Tongtong remembered Little Ding had mentioned that the Chonghua Sect wanted to distinguish the background of people. By looking at the colour of any clothing a certain person wears, one could be say they’d be suspicious of a purple clothed person stuck in a light green crowd.

This purple-robed woman’s facial features were mediocre, but her eyes stood out the most; two orbs of black crystal shining brightly.

She wiped the spit off her face with her sleeve without betraying any expression, suppressed her anger and asked, “Who is this? Who dares to offend this one and still refuses to give their name!”

Frightened by the abrupt change in attitude, Tongtong stepped back, and then embarrassed, she tugged and smoothed her clothes to make herself more presentable and flashed a large smile. “Elder- Senior, hello! I am Tongtong, the new disciple. The dean asked me to come to school, but I got lost in the morning so it took me a long time to find this place… he-he heh…”

“Oh, you’re Tongtong…?” When the woman heard this, her anger dissipated, but her face was devoid of any emotion. “I am Chonghua’s second-generation elder, Yuan Qiongshuang. I teach body refination.”

She stood up, smoothed her clothes out, and swept her eyes over Tongtong’s appearance. One could compare her to an old matchmaker selling a new girl to a family. She frowned slightly.

“In this class, being late is not allowed. However, because this is your first time, your punishment will be very light.”

She beckoned towards the group of disciples. Immediately a tall and buff male disciple stepped forward. Tongtong’s eyes went straight to his well-built figure that could not be concealed by his robes- ohoho! His chest muscle was larger than her cup! His arms were thicker than her thighs!

Just as she was thinking of the six-pack abs hidden in his robe, Tongtong heard a loud noise. The body-builder lifted a boulder, around three times larger than Tongtong’s head, and threw it into the air. It came down with a loud “THUD”, grazing the tip of her nose, and making her neck hairs rise.

“Pick that up and walk ten rounds back and forth.” Tongtong swallowed her saliva, looked at the boulder and looked back at the expression-less Yuan Qiongshuang. The other person nodded impatiently, sealing her fate.

Her mouth twitched as she leaned over, took a deep breath, and lifted!

This stone- doesn’t want to move.

Tongtong’s face went red from embarrassment.

She snuck a glance at Yuan Qiongshuang. Good, she is still wearing a dead persons expression. It was a few disciples behind her, especially that Xian Sen who smiled widely and made her want to punch them.

Hmph, what are you smiling at! At first glance, anyone can tell this disciple is all brawn but no brain! Cultivation is about strengthening the mind and cultivating an elegant temperament! So why are your muscles bursting through your clothes? Idiot idiot idiot!

Her head must’ve been stuck in the doorway to think this guy was handsome…

After this secret exchange inside her head, Tongtong turned her attention back. Ignoring her lady manners, she lifted up her sleeves and prepared to use all her strength again. This time, the used the energy as if she was sucking milk out of a breast. (1)

(1)- In China, it is said that babies use all their strength to drink milk, so when someone uses all their strength to do something, they call it that.

Finally, that huge rock boulder was lifted up- just to her ankle.

She was just about to ask Yuan QIongshuang for help, her neck turned around and she hadn’t even opened her mouth when the woman said indifferently, “Good. Now carry that to the tree over there.”

Following her eyes, Tongtong turned her head around to look at the target- a thousand meters (0.6 mi) away, swaying its branches with the wind, as if beckoning for her.

“Doong–” “Shpaa–“

The first sound was the sound of the boulder falling to the ground and the second sound was Tongtong’s body falling to the ground after hearing Yuan Qiongsheng’s words.

Lifting this boulder would take away half her lifetime, and she still had to carry it all that distance?

My god, let lightning strike and kill her!

Or, go and strike Qiongshuang to death!

When Tongtong used her entire body to lift the dead boulder and move forward at five micrometres (0.0001 in.) per second, she heard Yuan Qiongshuang’s flat voice float by: “Don’t forget, ten rounds back and forth.”

Tongtong’s hands shook, almost letting the boulder fall again. There was a roar in her heart: the other iceberg face Su Yan was ten thousand times more pleasing than this woman! She definitely doesn’t judge people by their appearance!

After assigning tasks, elder Yuan Qiongshuang felt that Tongtong’s spit was a bit unbearable. She shook her sleeves and left to take care of her personal hygiene, leaving Xian Sen the Bodybuilder hated by Tongtong to supervise.

This man with big white teeth picked up another boulder twice as big as Tongtong’s, lifted it up and down twice, then threw it from his left hand to his right like an acrobat throwing a small ball.

After setting aside 1% of her strength to roll her eyes, Tongtong decided to ignore him.

Just when she spent more effort than nine cows and two tigers and was around 2 or 3 meters from the tree, a small nosed-small eyed rat-like disciple approached her. He smiled flatteringly; “Sister Tong, I heard you are close to Brother Su?”

Tongtong didn’t want o to ignore him- she was brought up as a polite child- but right now she had no time to answer his question or even move her eyes to look at him.

The man formed a sword shape with his hands and pointed at the boulder, recited a verse, which Tongtong only understood one word: “Qi! (2)”

(2)- Not “air” or refinement, this one means “rise!” or “release!”.

A wonderful thing happened! Tongtong felt the heavyweight in her hands lighten as if a big invisible hand lifted the boulder for her.

“Wow! Dude, you are skilled!” After the excitement settled down, Tongtong took the opportunity to trot to her destination.

“Heh heh, where is it…” The male thought he was cleverly tagging along, and although his face was full of smiles, it was also a little pale. “Sister Tong is very lucky! In fact, this one has admired Brother Su for a long time. I hope you can recommend me to this brother…” He hadn’t finished speaking, yet the spiritual power in his hand diffused, and the boulder in Tongtong’s arms reverted back to the weight it originally was.

Tongtong had no more energy or concentration to listen to him.

The man left, looking lost.

It didn’t take long for Tongtong to sense a woman beside her- if someone sprayed this perfume that could smoke all the insects within a hundred meters, then their heart must be oppressed by a female. It tickled her nose and made her sneeze twice, almost dropping the boulder.

However, this torture is not enough. The woman followed her closely, insults and attacks spitting out of her mouth like poisonous juice.

Tongtong evened out 1% of her concentration to listen. To sum up, this woman was almost telling herself a story: Su Yan is so noble, so cold, so beautiful, so pure, so unique, that he should not get rid of this poor woman! Otherwise, you will not live a good life and so on…

The most abominable thing is that she was talking and lifting the weight with her verses, Tongtong was so comforted by the thought that the other party had reduced the weight that when they actually released the weight, she felt as if crushed by an elephant.

She couldn’t withhold all the weight so she let go of the boulder and leaned on it to take a couple of breaths.

Seeing her miserable appearance, the female disciple was startled and didn’t dare move her hands or feet. She planned on spitting out more harsh words but held them in and hurried away. Tongtong bent over the boulder, stroking her back, out of breath and gulping for air… it’s all Ji Ya’s fault! Does she have no luck? It feels like there is none left…

Two minutes passed by, and Tongtong had traveled one-third of the distance away from the tree.

She looked to the side and saw the bodybuilder Xian Sen was leaning on his boulder taking a nap. She plopped down and let her limps flop, in her heart, she cursed her horrible fate.

Suddenly her eyesight wavered, a purple robe appeared suddenly, scaring her.

“Who let you rest?” The cold and clear voice cut across her mind, leaving a metallic coldness behind. There was a trace of danger…

This author has something to say:

something something I can’t translate

Someone told me the chapter of Ji Ya was terrifying… was it?

It is a legendary beast, like a horse, tiger, leopard, etc. If you want a specific image, then a unicorn.

Spoiler point- Ji Ya… is a female.
