Chapter 7: Yang Kai
The owner of the annoying voice was a 13-year-old boy with an average appearance and a slightly noble bearing. Walking alongside him were his goons, all of whom were in the 3rd Layer Martial Apprentice Realm, just a single stage lower than the young master they were following.
"Chen Hao." Jin gently stroked his chin, recalling terrible memories of the haughty man sauntering toward him.
"What’s with that look, trash? Are you underestimating me??" Chen Hao punched out at the slightest inconvenience, knocking the wind out of Jin.
"Kuk!" Jin coughed a bit but didn’t cry or plead. He merely stared at the pompous young boy, inwardly thinking, ’This will be the first and last time you’re ever able to touch me.’
[Your Comprehension is Against-Heaven’s Understanding. By taking a punch from a 3rd Layer Martial Apprentice, you have comprehended the Cultivation Technique ’Extreme Body Refinement.’]
A substantial amount of information entered Jin’s mind. He learned everything there was to know about the ’Extreme Body Refinement’ cultivation technique, instantly realizing that it was the superior version of the ’Prime Body Refinement’ cultivation technique that most Outer Disciples of the Yang Sect practiced.
’Against-Heaven’s Understanding is not as simple as merely having enhanced comprehension. I can quickly and most effectively improve upon what I see or experience, aiming to create superior versions.’
For rudimentary techniques like the ’Prime Body Refinement’ cultivation technique, Jin didn’t even need to spend more than a moment figuring out where improvements could be made. His Against-Heaven’s Understanding did all the heavy lifting and tremendously enhanced the original Prime Body Refinement cultivation technique.
"That trash will probably die if you hit him again, Chen Hao," one of the goons snickered.
"Tsk, you’re probably right," Chen Hao scowled. "I’ll let you off the hook this time, you damn wastrel. However, for the Inner Disciple Advancement Competition tomorrow, there will be no mercy."
