"I am.... Ah, what the hell." Xiao Shen sighed and swiftly gave the men swift punches to the gut using his advanced speed.
His strength had gone back to normal, but, even still, he was very fit and packed quite the punch.
Before they could react, they were all rolling on the floor in pain.
Sometimes, one had to avoid problems in their entirety. If he told these men his name, it would bring about all sorts of problems for him.
There would be the issue of his presence at the forest, when he was supposed to be on campus.
There would also be the issue of the craters and felled trees in the forest.
The CCP would knock on his door the next day and the issue would swell to massive proportions.
Thus, knocking out the guys was the best option!
And, since he did not know how to knock people out, leaving them rolling on the floor in pain was the next best option!
Despite it seeming to have been a long amount of time, not more than an hour had really passed. The sun was still shining in the sky and there was still at least an hour or two of daylight left.
"Still, I have no idea where I am..." Xiao Shen shook his head and muttered to himself.
The distance he had covered while running at superhuman speeds was comparable to at least four to five hours of driving, thus, it could be assumed that he was in some town close to the campus.
"F*ck!" He smacked his forehead in frustration.
He could have at least asked the guys he had knocked out of his current location!
He sighed and decided to walk until he got to civilization. Definitely, he would meet someone who knows where the university town was!
***
Xiao Shen walked for a few dozen minutes before reaching a small rural town far from the edge of the forest. At this point, he was thirsty, hungry and yearned for nothing more than his bed at the dorm.
He was too thin skinned to directly ask for money from the existences viewing him and thus had to find a way to return to campus by himself.
Yes, he could just ask for speed boosts and directly run there, but he was sick of moving at superhuman speeds at the moment.
Moving that quickly for a long amount of time induced a mild nausea that threatened to make him spill his guts out.
Not to mention the fact that all the food he had eaten today had been emptied out to provide the energy needed to move at such speeds.
Real life was not a movie where the main character could do just about anything without repercussions.
Super strength required a super amount of energy, there was no way that one could survive with normal meals!
"You!" A young lady suddenly yelled at him.
"Eh?" Xiao Shen turned his head to look at a pretty girl with long black hair tied into ponytails.
Her small mouth curled into a frown and she shook her fist at him. "What did you do to my father?!"
Xiao Shen blinked and gave her a look that said, Lady WTF?!
Who the f*ck is her father, even!
She grabbed his collar and shook him vigorously. "What have you done with my father!"
[Ooh, drama~]
[Anchor, what have you done with her father?!]
[How dare she touch MY Anchor?]
«[### has gifted lightning bolt!]»
Boom!!
A golden bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky, heading straight for the girl.
"Ah!" She yelped in fright and immediately distanced herself from him.
Her eyes widened in shock and she looked up at the evening sky. There were no clouds and the sky was as clear as ever while the sun shone with orange rays.
F*ck! Where did the lightning come from?!
Xiao Shen had the corners of his lips twitch, but chose not to break the momentum he had just gotten. He folded his hands behind his back and frowned. "Who is your father?"
At this moment, it was easy to mistake him for some powerful person.
[So overbearing!]
[Anchor looks so cool!]
[### has gifted one time use
[Kill him, lass!]
[### has gifted
Xiao Shen thought of activating the one time Aura effect and his body instantly exploded with a terrifying aura.
"M-Mu Laoban..." The girl stammered out a reply.
Let's make a recap from her point of view...
Earlier, her father had gone corpse digging as usual, after letting the Jiangshi out to graze. Then, his aura vanished and the forest began shaking with trees falling here and there.
She had incited some villagers to explore, while she watched at a distance, only for this dude to pop up and beat them all up!
Surely he had something to do with her father's aura suddenly vanishing, she had thought, so she had confronted him.
And now, it seemed like it was a bad idea as the seemingly unassuming young man was actually a powerful senior who could make lightning descend from the sky!
"Mu Laoban..." Xiao Shen suddenly felt guilty.
He could vividly remember Old Baldy say earlier:
「"I am Mu Laoban. My dao name is Zombie Master Mu. May I know who YOU are?"」
Once again, the bullet chat exploded with comments:
[Anchor... Grave robber was her father!]
[Kill her too!]
[All Corpse Cultivators must perish!]
[Lass, he killed your father! Kill him!!]
[Things are escalating, how interesting~ (≧▽≦)]
Yes. He indeed had something to do with her father, and had, in fact, done him in.
But how was he to tell that to this lady?
Xiao Shen felt a massive headache coming...
"Ahem." He coughed lightly and put his hands behind his back, puffing his chest out this time around. "That junior offended me, so I sent him to meet his ancestors. Do you want to avenge him?"
His overbearing aura descended upon her like a tornado storm, making her hair stand on end.
She definitely could not dare go against this guy!
However, at that very moment, a new screen appeared before his eyes.
«[One time use Aura effect has been consumed.]»
The overbearing aura instantly vanished without a trace, taking away all the corresponding effects that came with it.
"...." Xiao Shen.
"....." Mu Laoban's daughter.
