Payback & Punishment

After entering the school Bei Feng and Fu Jing walk towards their seats in the back left of the class. When Bei Feng glances around the room he could see lots of dust on the desks and cobwebs near the corner of the roof.

After waiting in his seat for class to start Chu Xiang enters the class and sees Bei Feng talking to Fu Jing as if nothing happened. Annoyed he walks towards Bei Feng and kicks him off his chair. “Haha look at this trash. What’s the point of him coming here if he can’t cultivate.” Chu Xiang mocks Bei Feng while everyone in the class laughs at him.

Bei Feng was originally going to ignore Chu Xiang but he attacked him first so Bei Feng won’t show any mercy to him. While Chu Xiang is mocking Bei Feng, he doesn’t notice him picking up a pencil that fell when Chu Xiang kicked Bei Feng.

When Chu Xiang is getting ready to kick Bei Feng again Bei Feng quickly rolls away and stabs Chu Xiang foot with a pencil.

Even though he is weaker in cultivation he has much more experience and is much more cunning that Chu Xiang. After stabbing him Bei Feng quickly jumps up and quickly kicks the back of Chu Xiangs legs. While Chu Xiang is still in shock from the pencil he doesn’t notice Bei Feng behind him about to kick his leg and when he does it is already too late as he is already lying down on the ground with blood coming from his leg.

“What is going on here!” The teacher suddenly enters the room stopping Bei Feng from snapping Chu Xiangs spine in two. While everyone is still in shock from what just happened they quickly regain composure. “Teacher Bei Feng suddenly attacked Chu Xiang for no reason”

“What!” asks the teacher while looking at the scene. Thinking there’s no way Bei Feng could beat him normally so it is probably true.

Even if it’s not true he will still get in trouble for letting Chu Xiang get wounded. He quickly picks Chu Xiang and gives him a recovery pill which he just managed to buy with his wages. Furious, the teacher glares at Bei Feng who just nonchalantly sat back in his seat.

Bei Feng at this point is just thinking about the competition Fu Jing mentioned taking place in one month where the first prize is a pill furnace and a set of high grade materials. “Bei Feng do you have anything to say to this!” The teacher furiously shouts while saliva hits Bei Fengs face.

“So what if I did this he attacked me first ” after hearing his reply the teacher got even more angry and starts screaming at Bei Feng about how stupid he is and ultimately decides to put him in the dungeon for two weeks.

“What two weeks” one boy with curly hair said before adding on “are you sure he won’t go insane in there.”

The dungeon in basically like a cell with absolutely no light and no human contact. The food is poured down a tube before falling on the dirty ground where people went to the toilet as there’s no place to go to the toilet there either.

Bei Feng thinks about this and gets extremely excited but stops a smile from forming on his face. It is basically a paradise where he can cultivate and fix his dantian with no one interrupting him. He quickly puts on a sad face and sits back down without saying anything. While others are thinking he is really sad and is full of regret he actually didn’t speak so to hide his excitement.

He will be going there in one week and staying there for two weeks while the competition will take place in one month so he will still have one week spare. But even if he can fix his dantian and cultivate it will make nearly no difference as he has zero talent for cultivation. Talent for cultivation is split into different grades : -Zero talent

-Low grade talent

-Middle grade talent

-High grade talent

-Pinnacle grade talent

-Peerless grade talent

-Heavenly grade talent

-Godly talent

Bei Feng has zero talent for cultivation so he will have to cleanse his meridians so that Qi can flow through his body faster. The dantian stores the Qi while the meridians determine how fast the Qi can go through the body. That’s why it determines talent if you have high grade talent your cultivation will go several times faster then someone with meddle grade talent.

He will need to use a special acupuncture technique which allows him to unblock his meridians thus allowing him to have a better aptitude(talent) for cultivation.

Acupuncture needles are generally quite expensive. A decent set will cost 15 gold coins. That would be like pocket change for someone like Chu Xiang but for him that’s his family’s whole fortune several times over. The only way for him to make enough money is to hunt magical beasts and sell their hide, claws etc. in the forest.

“Do you want me to go to Mr. Tang and tell him what really happened, if not I’m afraid two weeks in there will be too much.” Waking Bei Feng from his trance he quickly replies “don’t worry it’s only two weeks. I’ll be alright”

Fu Jing stares at him blankly as if he said something unimaginable . “Do I have something on my face?” Bei Feng asks Fu Jing. “No never mind.” He quickly replies and looks back up at the whiteboard.

After that incident the class is finally starting. From the lessons he could figure out that it is ten thousand years after he died and the destiny sect is but a fairy tale. From the several wars in the time he was gone the geographical state of the world has changed greatly.

After school ends when he gets home, he looks for any item that he could be used to hunt magical beasts

but to no avail.

He finally decides to go and buy one in the market. Although he has little to no hope. He still breaks open his piggy bank with his life savings . 1 silver 24 bronze coins.

This is after living a frugal life for sixteen plus years. “Oh god just how poor is this family.” Bei Feng thinks as he says goodbye to his mother and sets off to the market.
