"Then I'll choose Wen Wudi!" Li Yang made his decision and looked up as he spoke.
"Yes, this can be done. The process might be a little painful, so please bear with it." As the man spoke, he raised his hand and shot out a beam of light, which went straight for the top of Li Yang's head and disappeared in a flash.
Li Yang felt a sudden dizziness, followed by a sharp pain. He couldn't help but scream and collapsed to the ground, clutching his head. He didn't know how long this intense pain lasted, or perhaps it was just a moment, but it felt like an eternity to Li Yang.
As the pain gradually subsided, he felt as if he had almost died once, his head and body feeling as if they had been washed with water, soaked in sweat.
He said weakly, "Will it really work?" Damn it, if all this suffering doesn't work, I curse you to be sealed for another ten thousand years!
"Mortals are indeed mortals! It seems you are destined to remain mortals. However, I am an immortal, with a transcendent mind, and I will not stoop to your level. I have now cleansed your brain and have some surplus magic power, but it is not enough to cleanse your entire body. Choose one organ." The majestic man saw through Li Yang's thoughts at a glance, but only smiled faintly.
Li Yang felt a chill in his heart and dared not let his mind wander any further. He scrambled to his feet, swallowed nervously, and said, "Okay."
He rubbed his eyes. Well, his eyes were fine then. He loved playing computer games and studying, and his eyesight had long since deteriorated to several hundred degrees. He'd never wanted to wear those thick, black glasses that covered up his handsome, straight nose. If he just cleaned them up, wouldn't his eyes be fine?
"Then let's go with the eyes," Li Yang said.
"Okay." After the man finished speaking, he raised his finger and shot out a beam of light.
Li Yang screamed again, feeling his eyeballs being gripped by intense pain. His tear ducts spasmed wildly, and tears streamed down his face.
After a brief moment of pain, he felt a refreshing coolness in his eyes, incredibly comfortable. He opened his eyes and looked around. "Holy crap, those are spider hairs?" "Wait, isn't that my lost one-yuan coin? It's still in that nook and cranny. Wait a minute, the stairwell is so dark and messy, I searched for ages and couldn't find it, how come I can see it so clearly now?"
Ah! Could it be my eyes? Wow, that's amazing! Li Yang finally believed that the person who suddenly appeared was a deity.
"Thank you. Thank you so much!" Li Yang said excitedly to the deity.
"Hmm. But this is just a report on how you saved me, no need for thanks. I still have a little magic power left. Since you want to be invincible in martial arts, which I cannot achieve, I will simply refine your body a little." The immortal man looked down at Li Yang, flicked his finger again, and shot out another beam of light, but it was much thinner and dimmer than the previous two, obviously containing very limited magic power.
However, Li Yang was already satisfied. Since it was true that his eyes had been cleansed, then his brain must also be real. With these two things, the strength of his body was no longer very important. At least he could have an impressive physique through hard work and training.
The development of the brain and eyes is truly a miracle, something that can only be encountered by chance!
Another wave of sharp pain struck his body, but compared to the agony in his brain, it was nothing, negligible. He was covered in sweat again, but instead of feeling tired, he felt a surge of energy that invigorated him and put him in a great mood.
"grateful……"
Chapter 3: A Beauty That Could Topple Kingdoms
Li Yang was about to say some heartfelt words of thanks when he looked up and saw that there was no one in front of him. Looking down, he saw that the black ring was still on his left index finger, and the wound on the back of his hand had disappeared, replaced by a patch of pink skin without any scars.
Looking around, all he saw was a dirty and chaotic stairwell. But what was originally a dark and gloomy stairwell now appeared as bright as day in Li Yang's eyes.
Li Yang couldn't help but exclaim, "Could it be that my eyes can see at night?" He immediately slipped into the stairwell and closed the door. Based on past experience, it should have been pitch black inside, but at this moment, everything was clearly visible. He could even see the spider web in the corner and a pair of flies making love.
"Hahaha... Ouch!" Li Yang jumped up excitedly, but his head hit the concrete slab on top, making his eyes water with pain.
I couldn't help but look up at the top of the stairwell. Although it wasn't high, with my height and jumping ability, I still couldn't reach the top without stretching my arms.
How did I bump my head? Could it be that my jumping ability has also been greatly improved? Wow, this body modification is amazing!
Li Yang pushed open the door and rushed out like a gust of wind. What used to be a staircase with a maximum of three steps per step, he now took five or even six steps at a time, reaching his own door on the sixth floor without even taking a breath.
Li Yang took a deep breath, held it to suppress his overwhelming excitement, opened the door and called out, "Mom, I'm home!"
"Okay, okay, stop yelling so loudly, I'm not deaf. Wash your hands quickly, let's get ready to eat." His mother's voice came from the kitchen. Li Yang looked up at the clock and realized it was still noon. Just a moment ago it felt like a long time had passed, but now it seemed like only a moment had gone by.
But in that instant, everything about me seemed to change.
He didn't rush to wash his hands, and didn't even smell the aroma of his favorite braised fish. Instead, he went straight to his room, slammed the door shut, took out a high school math textbook, and quickly started flipping through it. The problems about sets and functions were things that had troubled him in the past.
However, now, those problems that were once painful and difficult to understand are no longer problems. They become clear with just a little thought, and the speed of his understanding surprises even himself.
He took out a high school physics textbook and started reading. The things about mechanics that had previously confused him seemed to become very clear. He understood everything after just one glance, and he was no longer confused or dizzy as before.
"Hahaha……"
Li Yang couldn't help but burst into laughter in the room.
"Bang!"
The door to the room was suddenly flung open, and Jinmei, the mother, appeared in the doorway with a shocked expression, still wearing an apron. She exclaimed in surprise, "Yangyang, what are you doing? What are you grinning about?"
Li Yang felt ashamed. He hadn't expected that his momentary arrogance would frighten his mother. He really shouldn't have done that.
"Mom, it's nothing. I just saw a joke, it was so funny, I couldn't help it!" Li Yang had no choice but to lie to his mother, because the truth was too bizarre to understand. If he told the truth, his mother would not only not believe him, but would also think he had gone crazy and worry even more.
"You silly child, I told you to wash your hands and prepare the dishes for dinner, but you're just watching and making a fool of yourself. Don't you want to eat? Today we have braised fish. It's good that you don't eat it. Your dad and I are in for a treat!" Mom glared at Li Yang with displeasure and said, pretending to be angry.
"Oh no, Mom! I'll go wash my hands and prepare the dishes right away." Li Yang wasn't about to agree; braised fish was his favorite.
"This kid, it was just a joke. Why did you run so fast?" Mom was surprised to see Li Yang flash by. When did he become so fast? The power of food is truly immense! Mom couldn't help but smile. After all, someone was praising her cooking skills, and it was her own son! What mother wouldn't be happy?
At the dinner table, Li Yang learned that his father had found him a tutor and that he should start classes the next day. However, his father's expression was a bit strange, but Li Yang didn't pay much attention to it.
Back in his room, Li Yang was still incredibly excited. He had only had a brief taste of his refined brain, but the results were already quite noticeable. Now, all he could think about was studying, studying, and studying some more. With such a powerful brain, it would be foolish not to use it!
He lowered his head and kissed the jet-black ring on his finger, then took a deep breath, sat down, and began to review his lessons, starting with math, physics, and chemistry from the first year of high school.
Then, he spent the afternoon in a state of surprise, excitement, and detachment, until his mother called him for dinner. Only then did he snap out of his daze, put down his textbooks, and leave his room.
This time, my parents were in a much better mood because he rarely studied as hard as he did today, and he didn't leave the house all afternoon.
If they knew that what Li Yang learned in one afternoon was equivalent to what others learned in a whole semester, I wonder what their expressions would be.
Following the address, Li Yang arrived at the teaching location of Teacher Cao. Looking at this area of upscale villas, he realized it was a very famous residential area around the city's No. 1 High School; everyone knew that those who lived there were extremely wealthy and influential. Even some of the school's high-ranking leaders owned properties there.
This teacher owns a house here, which means he's an upper-class person with a car and a house. Why would he still do tutoring, a job that's already a dead end for him?
