Chapter 402 I Am Too Weak
Two more days went by.
Elbert stayed committed, leaving early and coming back late every day!
He'd gone from walking to running!
He could now climb halfway up the towering mountain!
Elbert felt like his internal injuries had healed by about 30%!
The old man with white eyebrows watched in secret every day, constantly amazed.
"My God! It's only been six days!"
When he got here, his bones were shattered, and now he could run?
At this rate, he could sell organs for a living and get rich without any cost!
Right now.
Elbert, resting in the grass hut, was deep in thought.
In the past two days, he had felt something strange. Although the water droplet pendant on his chest was quiet, Elbert could clearly feel a stronger connection to it!
Could it be that the amount of liquid metal he could control had increased?
Elbert thought back to the moment before he shattered the meteorite, when the liquid metal surged out, covering his entire body and propelling him skyward with an unbeatable feeling. He couldn't help but feel a bit hopeful!
Could this body recovery also enhance DNA evolution?
With a thought, the liquid metal slowly flowed out from the water droplet pendant, forming a thin line, like a stream of clear water, gently floating in the air.
It stretched over ten feet long!
This weight was almost at his peak!
With another thought, the liquid metal danced in the small room!
He carefully sensed it.
The speed, strength, and precision were not at their peak!
Elbert sighed.
He slowly retracted the liquid metal.
It seemed that his injuries were also affecting his special abilities!
Suddenly, a faint cracking sound was heard!
Straight cut marks appeared on the four pillars of the grass hut!
The roof of the hut collapsed with a crash!
Elbert poked his head out from the straw, looking bewildered.
Had his control over the liquid metal become so rough that he didn't even notice cutting through the pillars?
Elbert chuckled bitterly.
He simply lay down on the straw, hands behind his head, gazing up at the starry sky!
Fortunately, the mountain air was pure, and the starry sky was clearer than in the city!
Under the beautiful scenery, Elbert fell into a deep sleep!
The next morning.
When everyone woke up, Elbert had already gone into the mountains.
The old man with white eyebrows looked at the collapsed grass hut, his expression devastated, "My property, destroyed! At this rate, will I have to become a wanderer?"
That evening, Elbert returned.
He announced one thing: he would challenge Peaceful Heart!
Everyone in the temple was excited!
Life was usually dull, and it was rare for someone to challenge them, how thrilling!
In the open space, Peaceful Heart smiled naively, "Elbert, you're still injured. Fighting you would be taking advantage of your weakness!"
Elbert shrugged slightly, "Peaceful Heart, look, if I don't fight you, I won't have a place to stay."
Peaceful Heart nodded, "Master said that if we enter a fight, we must give it our all. Elbert, I have no choice but to offend you!"
The monks in the temple were dismissive. He was in big trouble today.
Those four martial monks might look simple, but when they went out to quell disturbances, each one was terrifying!
Rachel reminded, "Peaceful Heart, Elbert is a guest, keep it to a minimum."
"Okay, I'll try!"
Peaceful Heart clasped his hands together, bowed slightly to Elbert, then assumed a stance, no longer holding back, his fierce aura erupting!
Elbert's eyes narrowed.
Peaceful Heart's previously gentle and restrained aura became outwardly fierce and domineering!
His strength was stable at J-level!
In the world, this would be an extraordinary existence!
In the secret room.
The old man with white eyebrows smiled at the portrait, "Master, by the timeline, this kid is very weak now. I'm really curious, just how weak is he?"
In the courtyard, the sound of heavy blows and the monks' cheers could be heard!
The old man with white eyebrows tilted his head, listening intently.
He heard Elbert sigh, "I'm too weak right now!"
The old man shook his head helplessly, dusting off his clothes. "The road ahead is long and tough. One day, you'll shake the heavens and earth, but for now, you're still just a young lad!"
"Watching you stumble is a rare treat. Once missed, it's gone forever!"
With a smile, he walked out of the main house, only to see a figure flying towards him!
His expression changed!
He quickly reached out to catch the figure, but the force pushed him back a few steps!
Then.
The old man looked closely!
"Peaceful Heart?"
"Why is it you?!"
Peaceful Heart's eyes were already bruised, and he said naively, "Master, Elbert's strength is astonishing. I lost!"
The old man took three steps back, his eyes wide with disbelief, "How is that possible? You are..."
At the fight scene.
Elbert also had blood at the corner of his mouth!
This fight had given him new insights.
So this was what it felt like to fight someone for ten rounds?
And he had even taken a punch!
Elbert felt a bit melancholic, muttering, "I'm too weak right now!"
The surrounding monks were still immersed in the recent fight! It was spectacular!
And someone had actually defeated Peaceful Heart?
It was a bit unexpected!
But what did this young man mean by constantly repeating that he was too weak?
The old man with white eyebrows slowly walked over, looking surprised. "Kid, weren't you seriously injured?"
Elbert sighed, "That was five days ago. Now I've recovered halfway!"
"Halfway?"
"You've recovered halfway this quickly?"
The old man was stunned, then shook his head vigorously, "I wasn't talking about your injuries. I meant, how did you manage to defeat Peaceful Heart?"
"Maybe Peaceful Heart was being lenient. After all, I'm too weak right now!"
Elbert's words were full of disappointment.
The old man with white eyebrows turned to look at Peaceful Heart.
Peaceful Heart's eyes were already swollen, and he said naively, "I wasn't."
"Master, compared to a rebirth, I prefer to remain undefeated!"
"But... I'm really too weak right now!"
Elbert turned and walked away, asking over his shoulder, "By the way, which room am I staying in?"
The old man with white eyebrows was momentarily stunned.
You're not weak at all!
With your injuries only half healed, you defeated Peaceful Heart!
But, as the young man walked away, proud and cold, with an imposing presence, the old man saw a shadow of his master!
The old man with white eyebrows took a deep breath, almost overstepping his bounds. This guy was indeed beyond his judgment!
The other monks, simple and honest, pointed to a room in the corner.
"Thank you all!"
Elbert opened the door and entered. Compared to the grass hut, this room was a world apart!
At least it was a brick house, with white walls.
The bed had not just straw, but a thin mattress!
There was also a set of porcelain on the table!
Elbert nodded slightly, sat down, and drank coffee.
At the same time, he thought, starting tomorrow, he needed to double his exercise!
Of course, Elbert was also a person who didn't give up easily.
At night.
He began tirelessly trying to control the liquid metal again.
This time, he was very careful. Although he didn't collapse the house, he still left many marks on the walls!
The next day.
Elbert got up two hours earlier and returned two hours later!
While pushing his physical limits, he also carefully collected some things in the mountains.
That evening, he challenged Serene Mind!
Under the attention of the entire temple, he sent Serene Mind flying in eight rounds!
However, as fate would have it, when Serene Mind was sent flying, he landed right on Elbert's room.
Combined with the damage from the liquid metal, the room couldn't bear the weight and collapsed with a crash!
The old man with white eyebrows wept silently.
Elbert, full of guilt, moved into an even better room!
