Inch of Radiance Vol 1 Chapter 20.1

Book 1 Chapter 20.1 – A Small Splash in a Large World 

Li Yang looked at the excited white-bearded elder and asked stupidly, “Who am I? Who are you?”

When Bai Yang saw Li Yang’s blank expression, he immediately nodded his head in satisfaction. He knew that he had already completely wiped Li Yang’s memory, and so Bai Yang replied, “You are an orphan, a child fostered by the country!” Bai Yang suddenly retrieved a phone from his pockets and said, “Yu, come quickly, there’s another new a.s.signment for you.” 

Soon after, the laboratory door opened, and in walked a rather cla.s.sy middle aged woman.

“It’s another child who lost his memory.” w.a.n.g Yu saw Li Yang who currently had a vacant expression on his face. She released a forced smile, and she clearly understood what really happened. These test subjects were all individuals on the death penalty, so being able to undergo rebirth was already quite good.

“Don’t worry elder Bai. I will take care of him from twelve to three, and after a month, a new Li Yang will appear in front of you,” said w.a.n.g Yu with confidence.

Bai Yang nodded his head, and he felt at ease. After all, all of those on the death penalty that he wiped the memories of had been taken care of by w.a.n.g Yu, and she was the one in charge of reeducating them.

Bai Yang s.h.i.+fted his gaze over to Li Yang, and it looked as if he was admiring a perfect work of art. Only after a period of time did he sigh and say, “I finally succeeded, 15,800 crystals. Although he has just entered the doorstep of fifth-ranked experts, it is still quite excellent.”

Although 15,800 crystals might sound amazing, upon being compared to the members of the 11th Division, it no longer holds much significance. Any random fifth-ranked expert within the 11th Division would have several tens of thousands crystals of Xiantian internal qi. Li Yang’s former captain Meng Tian’s energy already surpa.s.sed 50,000 crystals of Xiantian internal qi, amounting to over three times that of Li Yang’s.

“Yu, you should lead him away. Remember to bring him later to the training facility. I don’t believe 15,800 crystals is his limit.” After speaking, he happily looked at Li Yang.

…

Li Yang still wore that expression as if he still held no memories. From w.a.n.g Yu’s place, he learned that his name was ‘Li Yang’!

…

Within the training facility.

“Heng heng, they really didn’t show any skepticism at all and even told me my real name.” Li Yang casually brandished a large boulder. Even though the gravity was set to ‘10’, to the current Li Yang, 10 times gravity wasn’t a big deal.

To surpa.s.s ten thousand crystals in purely physical body power, what kind of concept was this?

At the very least, the underground world did not have such a frightening person yet. Other than those who utilized the B1 gene medicine, the one with the most powerful physical body would be the Underground Boxing Arena’s ‘Devil King’, and this ‘Devil King’ represented the number one figure of the Underground Boxing Arena. His physical body power was merely a bit over 1,000 crystals, and the most he could lift up was around 1,000 jin. Li Yang was stronger than him by ten times, and even had the a.s.sistance of his internal qi. Even if it was under 10 times gravity, that boulder was still roughly 2,000 or 3,000 jin, and his body was merely about 2,000 jin. For him, this was really just playing around.

(IET carefully explains a bit about the strength of the underground boxers: Underground boxers who haven’t yet used the A1 gene medicine would have about 200 crystals of energy. Of course, rumor has it that the highest was about 500 crystals, and the lowest was about 100 crystals. This 200 crystals was obtained painfully through training, and the average level athlete would squat with about 500 kilograms as well as bench press 150 kilograms. Once they successfully used the A1 medicine, their energy would be around 900 crystals, and they will be able to squat 900 kg and bench press 300 kg. After all, after squatting 500 kg, every increase in weight will require double the energy counterpart. After using the A1, although one’s energy will increase close to about four times, only being able to double the amount one can squat was still considered normal. The work put into lifting a boulder is roughly the same as bench pressing. Devil King is the best of the best among the boxers, and before using the A1, his energy was already close to 500 crystals. After using it, he had more than 1000 crystals of energy, and his energy far surpa.s.sed that of regular athletes. As expected, he could bench press way more than an ordinary athlete could, and reached 500 kg. This was why he was able to lift up 1000 jin weight.)

“Overlord, do you reckon that it’s time to leave? I have already used the B1 gene medicine, and obtained my objective. What is the point of staying here any longer?” Li Yang asked Xiang Yu.

When Xiang Yu heard this, he immediately said, “Sure, Overlord has already waited for this day for a long time. Just use the Escape Technique that you learned to leave. Haha, I wonder what kind of expression that old fart will have when he discovers that you suddenly vanished?”

When Li Yang thought of this, he also began to happily laugh. “That white bearded old man actually wanted to wipe my memory. Heng heng, now that I’m leaving, you really can’t blame me!”

“Escape!”

Li Yang’s hands produced the method’s seal, and the Xiantian qi began to circulate within his body. Immediately, his figure merged with the training room’s metallic wall before disappearing.

…

Li Yang’s speed could not be considered fast, and he carefully felt the relaxed feeling that the Escape Technique brought him.

Li Yang’s body penetrated through the base, and he continued to move forward. Ahead of him was an endless amount of dirt, and although there were some rocks within the dirt, LI Yang pa.s.sed through it all in one go.

“Overlord, this Escape Technique really is fantastic. Haha, it really can escape from everything!” Li Yang was evidently excited.

Xiang Yu said replied, “Heng heng, Li Yang you brat. The Escape Technique you learned is from the Immortal Realm, so of course it is comfortable. Do you know about the Escape Technique from the Kunlun Paradise Five Sect? That one requires close attention to the five elements. In the face of earth you need an earth escape and in front of metal you need a metal escape, making it extremely inconvenient. During the course of the escape, you can’t even move too fast. For example, if a rock appears in the middle of the dirt, then you need to avoid it, otherwise, you need to change to the metal escape. After pa.s.sing the stone, you then need to switch back to earth escape. If a river appears, then you need to switch to water escape…”

When Li Yang heard this, his head immediately became as big as a cow’s. If the Escape Technique was that difficult, he really would go crazy.

Xiang Yu arrogantly replied, “Hehe, do you now know how fortunate you are? Wasn’t all of this given to you by Overlord? Immortal Realm’s Escape Technique? How many people within the Mortal Realm can learn this? Right, Li Yang, quickly pick a place to exit. Your Escape Technique won’t last much longer. Sigh, your strength is too weak!”

Li Yang also felt that his Xiantian qi was getting consumed quickly, and it was leaking out at a crazy speed as if it were a tire with a hole in it. Luckily, Li Yang’s restoration speed of Xiantian internal qi was also quite abnormal, and that was why he was able to keep it up for more than ten minutes.

“Alright, right above us is good. It’s a small alleyway, and there aren’t many people!” Xiang Yu reminded him on the spot.

Li Yang immediately felt moved, and his body directly pa.s.sed through the earth and arrived on the surface.

Haha, Overlord, I finally escaped. This Escape Technique really is amazing as expected! However right now, I have an extremely important task to take care of.” Li Yang looked at his naked upper body and bitterly laughed within his heart. Within the training room, he really did not mind being half-naked, but after coming out, he really could not look like this. Buying clothes was his most important task right now, but currently, he did not have a single cent on him. What was he supposed to do?
