What kind of sect is Haoyue Sect? It's one of the most powerful sects in the entire TianGang Greater Domain! Their meat buns, how could they possibly use ordinary beast meat? They use high-level fierce beast meat! Just one bite can make these youngsters sweat all over! And then they would gain a lot of strength!
This is truly exceptional food!
Liu Yunfeng grabbed a meat bun and took a bite. This meat bun was many times more delicious than the one he had eaten before... The young Liu Yunfeng even felt faint from the bliss. So happy!
In the sky, above the huge warship.
That old man, pointing at Liu Yunfeng below, said: "See that boy? Do you see the expression on his face? That contentment, that happiness! You find it disgusting, don't you? Does the mere sight of it make you want to vomit?"
The old man's expression was very serious, and deep in his eyes, there even flashed a hint of reminiscence. Such expressions were hard to find in the eyes of a top Great Venerable.
All the young men and women by the warship's window fell silent. The porcelain doll-like girl, with eyes like Qiushui, also lost the previous expression on her face, revealing a reflective look.
The old man continued: "This is food! This is food made from truly top-quality ingredients. Let alone these poor orphans, even the heads of those small sects in our TianGang Greater Domain might not be able to eat it. But in your eyes, is this food… of any value?"
Silence.
Everyone was silent.
Looking down.
After Liu Yunfeng took a bite of the bun, his entire being became more vibrant, and his body seemed to be glowing.
He wanted to conceal it, but it was impossible. Therefore, his abnormality quickly caught the attention of the other children.
"Kid, what's that in your hand?" A youth of about fifteen or sixteen bellowed.
"A bun! It's a bun! A meat bun!" Another fifteen or sixteen-year-old's eyes turned green as he charged at Liu Yunfeng in an instant.
Liu Yunfeng turned and ran, gripping the bun in his hand tightly.
"Don't let him run! Take that half of a bun from his hand!" A cold-eyed teenager about eighteen or nineteen loudly commanded.
Following that, the two fifteen or sixteen-year-old youths instantly chased after Liu Yunfeng; one of them shouted loudly, "Kid, hand over what you've got!"
"There are so many buns over there, why do you have to snatch this half from me?" Liu Yunfeng's youthful voice was filled with panic and unease, as well as a hint of anger.
The porcelain doll-like girl on the warship asked the same question, "Master, I see there are dozens of buns over there... why do they have to snatch his half?"
The old man sighed: "Because of greed."
Below.
The fifteen or sixteen-year-old youth sneered: "All of it is ours; letting you have a few bites without spitting them out is already generous enough! Hand it over quickly!"
In the meantime, the two youths had cornered Liu Yunfeng front and back. They were much older than Liu Yunfeng, and both of them had power on the edge of Foundation Establishment. If they had the materials for Foundation Establishment, they could step into that realm at any moment. Dealing with a child like Liu Yunfeng was really all too easy.
"I beg you, can you say something to Dog Brother? We've always been together..." Liu Yunfeng, who didn't even have a name at the time, pleaded bitterly.
One of the youths looked towards the direction of the eighteen or nineteen-year-old, while the other sneered coldly, "Stop dreaming; the reason we haven't messed with you is that you've been honest and decent, but today you shouldn't have taken that bun, you shouldn't have eaten it! Hand over that half bun you have. I'll beg Dog Brother on your behalf, asking him not to kill you..."
"You… want to kill me?" Liu Yunfeng's youthful face was full of surprise and fear, and he couldn't help but ask loudly: "Why?"
On the warship, almost all the young men and women were stunned; they all looked at their master with puzzled eyes as well. In the Cultivation Realm, it wasn't too strange for people to kill for heaven and earth treasures, for skills, for women. But they had never seen someone who would kill over a meat bun.
The old man said indifferently: "This is human nature. Those older children, they have started to form their own small forces. They want to eliminate those outside their power. That way, in the future, all these foods will be theirs."
"Just for a little bit of food…" This group of young men and women were deeply moved. They were witnessing the cruel reality of this world for the first time. Several young girls even found it hard to accept.
Just as the old man said, down below by the rubbish heap, slaughter had begun.
A group of fourteen or fifteen-year-old youths pulled out weapons from their bodies and crazily started slashing at others.
The two youths surrounding Liu Yunfeng, one of them began to hesitate a bit, but after another said a word, he finally hardened his face and drew out a sharp knife.
"Do you want to be kicked out of the gang by Dog Brother?"
The hesitating youth shivered, and then his face turned cold and ferocious. The knife in his hand was very sharp, quickly honed, and under the afternoon sunlight, it gleamed chillingly.
On the warship, the porcelain doll-like girl pleaded with the old man: "Master..."
She was kind-hearted and didn't want to watch this slaughter over food, but the old man was indifferent, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Below, someone had already fallen into a pool of blood.
The two youths surrounding Liu Yunfeng finally made their move. Once the hesitating youth made up his mind, he became even more ferocious. Holding the sharp knife, he fiercely stabbed at Liu Yunfeng's heart.
Liu Yunfeng screamed, rolling to the side, but he couldn't completely dodge it; his arm was slashed, the wound wasn't deep, but blood immediately flowed out.
Following the arm, it dripped onto the half bun in his hand. The sight was startling.
Another youth had by this time sneaked up behind Liu Yunfeng, raised the knife in his hand, and stabbed viciously toward Liu Yunfeng's back!
"Ah!" Inside the warship, nearly all the young boys and girls couldn't help but scream out in shock. Some couldn't bear it and closed their eyes.
Only the elderly man watched with interest and commented, "Not bad, not bad, at such a tender age, they are already cruel and ruthless, and moreover... Eh?"
Below.
Beside a mountainous pile of trash.
Liu Yunfeng, with one arm already slashed, lying on the ground and still clenching a bloodstained bun, suddenly rolled in a bizarre manner and miraculously dodged the youth's fatal strike aimed at his back!
Thud!
The youth's knife stabbed into the ground instead.
While Liu Yunfeng rolled right beneath his feet, unbeknownst to anyone, a small dagger the size of a palm had appeared in his hand, and without hesitation, he slashed across the backs of the youth's heels.
Then—
The youth let out an extremely agonizing howl. He collapsed to the ground with a thud. His two Achilles tendons... had been severed by Liu Yunfeng in an instant!
That was not all. Liu Yunfeng arched his body, dodged the collapsed youth, and without a second glance, threw back a knife strike, piercing directly into the youth's back.
The screams of the youth, whose Achilles tendons were severed, abruptly stopped!
At that moment, the elderly man on the warship uttered a light "Eh?" and then exclaimed in surprise, "This child... and that knife in his hand? Why does it look so familiar? That's a dharma instrument! Isn't that—"
Below.
Beside the trash heap.
Liu Yunfeng, at the age of eight, killed someone for the first time. His hands were shaking, his whole body was shaking, even his heart... was trembling.
But another youth, around fourteen or fifteen, holding a sharp dagger, seemed even more terrified than him, standing petrified in place!
Liu Yunfeng howled, his left hand clutching the half-bloodied bun, and his right hand wielding the knife, stabbing fiercely!
Piercing sound!
This stab, from the front, pierced into the youth's heart, killing him instantly.
Two youths, initially wanting to attack someone else, had their fatal moves brutally returned by an eight-year-old kid.
At that moment, a youth about eighteen or nineteen years old saw what was happening here and charged over with a howl: "You little beast, you killed two of my great warriors, I'll kill you!"
In his hands, he brandished a long sword, without any skill, but his strength was much greater!
Liu Yunfeng seemed destined to die under his sword.
At this moment, the eight-year-old Liu Yunfeng made a move that no one expected; a mocking smile appeared on his young face. He made no move to attack or flee. Instead, he raised his left hand, took a vicious bite of the bloodstained bun, and then swallowed the bun along with his own blood.
"Let me finish this bun before I die, can I?" Only an eight-year-old child, with an eerily calm voice, could say such a sentence that sent chills down one's spine.
The eighteen or nineteen-year-old youth had already rushed up to Liu Yunfeng, lifting his sword. Hearing this sentence, he hesitated and did not strike down.
However, by the time he came to his senses and wanted to strike, it was already too late.
The elderly man made his move, taking Liu Yunfeng away. He didn't kill the others, only taking this eight-year-old child with him.
From that moment on, he was given the name Liu Yunfeng, for the elder's surname was Liu, and he took him as his adopted son.
From that time, Liu Yunfeng finally had a home of his own.
After being brought back by the elderly man, Liu Yunfeng became a personal disciple of the Haoyue Sect.
"That wild child picked up from the garbage dump."
"The lucky one who came across Junior Master Qin's imperial dharma instrument!"
These two titles had accompanied Liu Yunfeng for many years.
Until the day when he defied the heavens to attain enlightenment and stepped into the Supreme Realm, all the noise finally disappeared completely.
He became the pride of the Haoyue Sect, a young, top-ranked Heavenly Genius!
He also became the idol in the hearts of many.
Countless female cultivators within the sect wanted to become his dao companion. The days when he had scavenged for food in the trash had now become taboo, with no one daring to bring it up. Even those senior brothers who were entitled to talk about it in front of him would only jokingly mention it briefly, followed invariably by the words: Yunfeng is a Heavenly Genius who emerged from adversity; he is the pride of our Haoyue Sect!
