C1 The Oath of the Weak
C1 The Oath of the Weak
Moments later, a fierce wind started to blow between the heaven and earth. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. The torrential rain poured down from the sky like a torrential downpour. In just an instant, the entire world was wrapped in layers of heavy rain.
The Wuyuan Town was neither rich nor poor. In this vast South Vietnam, it was just an ordinary small town. However, it was built one by one on the mountain, with its back facing the green dragon river. It could be said to be a unique and quiet resort.
Thick bolts of lightning would occasionally tear apart the sky, and dull rumbling sounds of thunder could be heard. It was as if an eternal dragon had awoken from within the thick clouds and was roaring furiously.
The roar carried the might of the heavens as it shook the mountains, causing all the beasts to linger in hibernation. Countless types of tortoises shrank, causing the entire world to instantly become quiet, with only the sound of the rain falling.
The rain got heavier, as though it was trying to drown the entire world. Yet, in such a terrible weather, at the moment, a figure stood by the side of the Azure Dragon River, as though he was the only one left in the world.
That figure appeared extremely thin, and as the violent winds and torrential rain swept by, it seemed as if it could not stand stably. The rain was too heavy and it was impossible to see his face clearly. He could only vaguely see that there was a thick iron chain in his hands. He was constantly pulling it, as if he was undergoing an extreme level of strength training.
The length of the iron chain was about ten zhang, which was as thick as an adult's arm. The other end was thrown into the fast flowing river of the Blue Dragon River, and as he continued to pull, it could be vaguely seen that on the other side of the chain, there was actually a huge rock weighing over a thousand pounds.
As time passed, the figure repeatedly pulled the huge rock back to shore, and then once again pushed the huge rock into the river with all his might. This cycle continued, as if he was not tired at all.
After a long while, the rain finally began to slow down. Through the thin curtain of rain, he could finally see that the figure by the river was that of a fifteen year old youth.
The young man was dressed in gray clothes and was extremely thin. Although his facial features were straight, he had a handsome face, but his face was sallow, as if he had been sick for a long time. He looked like a sick man, and if no one saw him with their own eyes, they would not believe that this sickly young man could pull up the huge boulder in the water.
Although the Wuyuan Town was not very big, but all this while, there had been three big families that were standing alone, and these three families were the Lei Family, Yang family, and the Shen Family. The young man's name was Lei Yang, a direct descendant from one of the big families, the Lei Family.
However, even though Lei Yang was the noble direct descendant of the Lei Family, his life was not as he wished, and all of this had to do with the test of clan disciples' cultivation talent five years ago.
Five years ago, Lei Yang had only turned ten, and like many of the disciples of the family, he took part in the clan's innate talent test with high expectations. However, in the test of his clan's innate talent, he was unexpectedly judged to be a poor talent, the lowest level that the Lei Family had had ever seen since the founding of the clan.
In such a cultivation clan, perhaps they were in a world where cultivators were revered and respected. In the world of cultivation, a person who was unable to cultivate was actually a "piece of trash", so from then on, the title of "trash" became his nickname, and because of this, he became the "piece of trash" for everyone in Wuyuan Town.
A useless person with inferior aptitude would not be able to obtain cultivation resources in the family, because it was impossible for the family to waste resources on a cripple.
Even though Lei Yang was not willing to give up from the beginning, with his poor aptitude and lack of cultivation resources, no matter how hard he tried, he was still unable to open the bridge of heaven and earth. He was unable to receive the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi into his body, his body was unable to open up the Qi Sea, and he was also unable to store the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi, causing him to ultimately be unable to step into the cultivation world.
It was a good thing that Lei Yang was tenacious and had a kind of tenacity that "wouldn't turn back until he crashed into the south wall" since he was young. Even though his path of cultivation had long been decided by the clan, he had never given up during these five years.
All these years, he had been constantly trying all kinds of cruel training, madly pushing down the potential of his physical body, hoping that his body would improve a little. However, in the end, he was always disappointed.
Although his cultivation had not improved at all, the strength of his physical body was already different from that of an ordinary person's. Therefore, even though his body seemed weak, the strength of his physical body was astonishing.
The sudden downpour caused the Azure Dragon River's water to rise sharply, and the flow of water became even more turbulent. The gigantic boulder in the water became heavier and heavier due to the huge impact of the water flow, and the iron chains in Lei Yang's hands tightened.
The huge inertia almost dragged him into the turbulent river several times, but it did not affect his mood and instead stimulated his fighting spirit.
"Phew! Phew! Phew!" A heavy panting sound could be heard. Lei Yang's entire weight was lowered as he concentrated and calmed. Like a wooden stake, he inserted himself into the shore of the Azure Dragon River without a trace of panic in his eyes.
He slowly retracted the iron chain that he was holding, inch by inch. The veins on his long and slender arm bulged. It was obvious that no matter how strong he was, he didn't dare to be careless at this moment.
Finally, after Lei Yang used his last bit of strength, he once again pulled the huge boulder to the shore. He fell to the ground on his back, and an indescribable feeling of fatigue spread throughout his body.
"I'm finally exhausted!" Even though his body was so tired that he couldn't move at all, Lei Yang still revealed a happy smile on his face.
He couldn't even remember how many days had passed in a row. He could only remember that he had to exhaust all of his strength every single time or else he wouldn't stop. He lay on the ground, feeling his eyelids getting heavier and heavier. Unknowingly, he had fallen asleep in the rain.
When Lei Yang woke up again, it was already evening. The rain had stopped long ago, and the air after the rain seemed especially fresh. The fragrance of the natural soil drifted over from the river bank. He sat up and stretched his limbs. When he felt that he had recovered some of his strength, he finally got up from the ground. He shook off the silt on his body and dragged his weak body towards Wuyuan Town.
Lei Family was one of the three great clans of the Wuyuan Town. Its history was so old that it was unimaginable. It was faintly rumored that the Lei Family had already existed for ten thousand years and was a clan filled with mystery.
The Lei Family Garden was the mansion of the Lei Family, it was located at the northwest corner of the Wuyuan Town, right beside the Dragon Mountain Range. Inside the manor, there were countless of pavilions and buildings, winding paths, winding paths, and countless fake mountains.
When Lei Yang tiredly walked into the Lei Family Garden, night had already fallen. There were already scattered lights in some parts of the villa. Under the twilight sky, Lei Yang walked towards his house at the back of the mountain.
"Hey, trash, did you go there to torture yourself again?" It was at this time that an arrogant and overbearing voice suddenly sounded out from the dark limestone road in front of them. Immediately after, a fifteen year old youth around Lei Yang's age shakily walked over, blocking Lei Yang's path.
Behind him were seven to eight youths of different ages. Some were big and some were small, but they all surrounded Lei Yang.
"Lei Ming, what are you doing?" Lei Yang said loudly.
The youth who blocked Lei Yang's path was called Lei Ming. His aptitude was originally also average, but because his father was the law enforcement elder of the Lei Family, Lei Kaishan, he had a very high status and prestige in the clan.
In order to increase his cultivation, his father even knelt down to beg for elders, to let them secretly use their own cultivation to help him breakthrough. Under all these methods, Lei Ming's cultivation was raised to the fifth floor of the Spirit Qi.
Therefore, even some of the clan elders were wary of him, so normally, Lei Ming would act arrogantly and tyrannically in the clan, with no one controlling him, and no one daring to do anything about it either.
Moreover, Lei Kaishan was especially doting towards Lei Ming. Lei Kaishan's actions, he had even more so, allowed him to do as he pleased, which made Lei Ming even more fearless, frequently causing trouble in the clan, bullying the weak, causing many of the younger generation in the clan to hate him to the bones. However, he could only helplessly become angry and did not dare to say anything.
"Oh, you piece of trash. I haven't seen you for a few days, and you even have a temper. Not only did you not kowtow and greet me, you even dare to contradict me. I think you've been feeling too comfortable recently!" Lei Ming looked at Lei Yang with a smile that was not a smile, and his face was filled with ridicule.
"Exactly, hurry up and kowtow to Young Master Ming!" Just then, Lei Ming's lackeys followed and jeered.
"Hmph. What a joke. You and I are both young masters in the direct line of descent. No matter if it's our status or seniority, we are both in the same generation. If you want me to kowtow to you, you are not qualified." Lei Yang laughed coldly, and said loudly.
Although he was a cripple with no cultivation, he had a strong personality and was never willing to show weakness to anyone. He had already made up his mind. At most, he would just be beaten up. After all, it wasn't that bad this time around.
"You really want to be beaten up, but big brother, I really like your look."
Not bad, you have guts!
This brother here shouldn't be stone-cold, right? Seeing that you have such backbone, I'll give you another chance, immediately kneel down and kowtow three times, then apologize to this brother. This brother here doesn't care about this little one, so don't mind it, how about it? "
Lei Ming said as he approached Lei Yang. His body was much sturdier than Lei Yang and he was half a head taller than Lei Yang. At this moment, he looked down at Lei Yang with contempt, as if he was looking at a pitiful insect.
Lei Yang's face was ashen as he glared at Yue Yang. He really wanted to smash this bastard's head in one punch.
"Why are you unconvinced? If you're unconvinced, come hit me. But it's a pity, a pity that you can't beat me!" Lei Ming's shameful appearance of asking for a beating made even Lei Yang's teeth itch in hatred. His fists were clenched so tightly that he made clucking sounds, but he was helpless against the other party's words. It was true that he could not beat him, but he still had a bunch of people.
"Have you thought about it? I'm not a patient person. If you don't kowtow, then I'll just go find your useless dad and have him help you kowtow."
I truly do not know why, to be able to cripple a family even after being crippled. It is truly fate. Lei Ming was unbridled and spoke nonsense, causing the subordinates behind him to immediately laugh out loud.
"Lei Ming, you bastard!" Lei Yang's entire being suddenly erupted like a volcano, with a "bang", he punched at Lei Ming's left cheek. Although he did not have any cultivation, the strong force caused his fist to emit a sharp ringing sound.
He simply could not tolerate others calling him father. It was like the reverse scale in his heart. No one was allowed to touch it. Anyone touching it would definitely be angered.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Lei Ming screamed out miserably and his entire body staggered. He was actually struck by Lei Yang's fist and fell to the ground.
He really did not expect this trash to actually dare to take the initiative and attack him. Although his cultivation was at the fifth level of the Spirit Qi, he was too close to Lei Yang just now, and was actually thrown to the ground by a single punch from Lei Yang.
"Good, you have guts. But, you're dead meat! Brothers, don't be so polite, treat me well! " Lei Ming's eyes flashed with killing intent, and said fiercely. Suddenly, he was wounded by a small reptile in his eyes. This made him lose all face, and he was truly angry.
The consequences of Lei Yang following this could be imagined. A group of people swarmed over, their fists raining down on his body. In just a dozen breaths, his mouth and nose were bleeding, his entire body was purple, and even his two eyes were severely deformed.
But Lei Ming still did not plan to let him go, and arrogantly said while stepping on his face: "See, this is the price. You are merely a small reptile, yet you dare to compare yourself with this young master. Remember, you are only fit to be stepped on by me. "
Lei Ming said fiercely, his foot even rubbed hard on Lei Yang's face a few times, and then kicked hard on Lei Yang's abdomen a few times, before bringing the crowd away angrily.
On the dark road, Lei Yang miserably curled up there, breathing less and less, and only after a long while did he regain his composure.
He struggled to get up from the ground with great difficulty. Blood was all over his face, but he couldn't feel any pain. He stared fixedly at the direction Lei Ming was heading, and bit down hard on his teeth: "Lei Ming, I swear, there will be a day when I, Lei Yang, will make you pay for what I have done to you!"
The voice came from the gaps between his teeth. It was filled with endless anger.
