Chad Grant finished a set of Mighty Vajra Fist, already drenched in sweat as if he had just climbed out of water. Every muscle in his body ached, and after completing the entire set, every muscle and bone had been thoroughly exercised.
After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, Chad Grant was once again full of energy.
Beyond the third level of Postnatal Realm, the fourth, fifth, and sixth levels belong to the mid-stage of the Postnatal Realm, which are much more difficult than the first three levels. Spiritual liquid made from herbs over 50 years old has little effect on advancing the realm; herbs over 100 years old are required.
Chad Grant planned to go to the city market to have a look and buy some spiritual herbs. Now that his injuries had healed, there was no way he would let his father run errands for him anymore.
After greeting his father, Chad Grant left the courtyard. Colin Grant saw that Chad Grant had indeed recovered and was overjoyed at the immortal fate Chad Grant had encountered in his dreams. He didn’t say much, only told Chad Grant to be tolerant if he ran into other members of the Gu family and not to get into any more disputes with them.
Chad Grant had lived for 500 years; his perspective spanned the entire Ancient Wilderness Continent. Naturally, he felt no resentment toward these Gu family juniors, as they simply didn’t register in Chad Grant’s eyes. If he considered them his opponents, that would be lowering himself too much.
However, some things come whether you want them to or not. Chad Grant just wanted to go to the market to buy some spiritual herbs, but before he even left the Gu family compound, he ran into five or six Gu family youths. Among them was Ian Grant, the very one who had seriously injured Chad Grant during the clan competition.
“Stop right there, you good-for-nothing.” Chad Grant didn’t even glance at them, quietly walking out. At this moment, Ian Grant’s angry voice rang out.
Chapter 004: Beating Up Ian Grant
Chad Grant turned a deaf ear and continued walking out, as if Ian Grant and the others didn’t exist. The ones with Ian Grant were all disciples from the first and second elder’s branches, who had bullied Chad Grant plenty in the past.
Chad Grant’s disregard infuriated Ian Grant and the others. A useless second-level Postnatal brat dared to ignore them like this? They felt this was a great humiliation.
With a wave of Ian Grant’s hand, the other four youths immediately understood, running ahead to form a semicircle and block Chad Grant’s way.
“You piece of trash, didn’t you hear Brother Ian talking to you? How dare you disrespect your elder brother?” As soon as Chad Grant was blocked, Ian Grant strode over, glaring at Chad Grant with a face full of anger.
Ian Grant was thirteen, Chad Grant ten. Both were members of the Gu family, so Ian Grant was naturally the elder cousin. However, with so many disciples in the third generation, apart from the eldest, second, and third brothers, everyone else was addressed by name rather than rank.
Brother Ian was, of course, the respectful title Chad Grant had always used for Ian Grant.
Chad Grant glanced at Ian Grant and said, “Ian Grant, what do you want?”
Because he had seriously injured Chad Grant during the clan competition, Ian Grant had been punished by the clan leader with ten strokes of the cane. His butt still burned from it. Now, seeing Chad Grant looking completely unhurt, Ian Grant felt he had suffered a huge injustice, and his anger flared up.
“You little piece of trash, how dare you call me by my name?” Ian Grant glared fiercely at Chad Grant.
Normally, being glared at so fiercely by Ian Grant, Chad Grant would have been scared and apologized. Ian Grant was waiting for Chad Grant to panic, but today, Chad Grant seemed different.
Chad Grant showed not a trace of fear or anger, only calmly said, “If there’s nothing else, go play somewhere else.”
What? Telling them to go play somewhere else? A ten-year-old brat telling them to go play somewhere else? Their faces all showed shame and anger. This sentence was even more humiliating than being ignored by Chad Grant earlier.
“You little brat, are you itching for a beating?”
“What are you? Just a bastard of the Gu family, and you dare talk to us like that?”
“This little beast is getting out of hand. Today, your big brothers will loosen up your bones.”
...
The group of youths all cracked their knuckles, eyes burning with anger, just waiting for Ian Grant to give the word to start beating Chad Grant.
Chad Grant frowned. Even a clay Buddha has some fire in him, let alone Chad Grant. At first, Chad Grant didn’t want to stoop to the level of these brats, but since they were being so aggressive, he didn’t mind teaching them a lesson.
Although these youths’ cultivation was higher than Chad Grant’s, with his understanding of the Gu family’s techniques and mastery of over ten top-tier Postnatal skills, even using only second-level Postnatal strength, Chad Grant was more than enough to handle these youths, whose highest cultivation was only fifth-level Postnatal.
Compared to the others, Ian Grant was even angrier, cursing, “You little bastard, you’re not hurt at all, but you made me take ten strokes for nothing. My butt still burns! I knew it, the clan leader is biased toward you two bastards, Colin Grant that big bastard... Ow!”
At this point, Chad Grant heard him not only cursing himself but also his father. Instantly furious, he launched a ‘Vajra Tiger Kick’ forward. Legend has it that a single kick from a Buddhist Vajra could kill even a strong tiger.
Of course, Chad Grant couldn’t match a true Vajra’s kick, but this ‘Vajra Tiger Kick’ was still impressive. With a miserable scream, Ian Grant was sent flying more than ten feet by Chad Grant’s kick, landing hard on his butt with a thud.
