The Invincible Corruption Manual

…..I have been planning on whopping their asses for a long time. Now you have already taught them a good lesson."

Joey looked over at the free and easy-going attitude of the beggar-looking man and his impression of him also flipped 180. " Even though he seems to be an oddball and they all treated him like a moron. Hmm, this guy really seems to be straightforward, unlike those other four pretentious guys here." wondered Joey, judging all of their outlooks.

Joey cupped at him and introduced himself, "I'm Tang Xhuangzong. You can call me by my sobriquet, Joey. Senior, can I know yours?"

The beggar-looking man made a pose, lifting his legs high and taking a step forward, thudding his bare feet over the ground. He also lifted up the curly lock of hairs covering his left-eye, putting them behind his ears." Alright, boy. Listen carefully. You must have already heard of my good name. But I'll still remind you again since you are so polite. My name is Feng Zifeng. And I'm from the Undefeatable Vajra Body Clan[1]."

Joey looked up and down carefully checking the beggar-looking Feng Zifeng physique from head to toe, twice and wondered in his head in surprise, "Is this guy really from the Undefeatable Vajra Body Clan?!" Both disbelief and astonishment were written all over his face as the beggar-looking man had a scrawny physique, unlike all those bulky muscular men he had slapped on the top of the Redcliffe mountain.

Seeing Joey's expression, the beggar-looking Feng Jifeng slightly narrowed his eyes and said proudly, "Boy, don't give me that look. Even though I look petite, I can proudly say I'm the strongest guy in my clan."

"Beggar Jifeng, enough with your bragging." Another middle-aged-looking man with the silver lock berated, " Hahaha, strongest?! My foot! We all here know that you are the weakest even among us."

"So you wanna try a fight with me, right now. Come I'll beat you to a pulp." The beggar-looking JiFeng sprung up like a monkey and challenged him.

"Hmm, good for you. I'm not here to fight you, today. If you like to fight me then let's see in the World Martial Meet. There, I shall kick your sorry ass in front of everyone. " Bai Li responded.

"Fine, then you better take care of your sissy-looking beautiful face. That day I shall slap you hundred times in front of everyone. Hee hee hee, " The beggar-looking Jifeng responded, chuckling while imagining the day of slapping his face.

"Hmph!" Bai Li snorted and ignored him. He then turned at Joey and said, "Young Master Joey, your reputation really precedes you." "In your young age, you can even find us fogies even after using our best hiding skills." And he praised him with a friendly smile, omitting his last statements in his mind: "Even I can't see through his cultivation base. It's as if he doesn't even have an ounce of essence qi inside his body; which is not possible. And that leaves two possibilities. Either his cultivation base is way more above mine or he has a treasure concealing his real cultivation base. I must take this brat to my side or stop others from taking him in."

"I'm Bai Yi, from the Great Gong Clan[2]." he introduced himself.

"Great Gong Clan!  Why is he acting so friendly after all I had already killed all of his juniors in the Hundred Poison Valleys? Hee hee hee, this is really going to be interesting." Joey thought in his mind.

Joey made a friendly smile and said casually, "What can I do for you, Senior Bai Yi?"

"Young Master Joey, truth be told my family patriarch has sent me here. I have brought a truce for you. And you better consider it. " Bai Yi took out a letter envelope and passed it to Joey, levitating it in the air with the wave of his hand.

Joey caught it in the air and checked over it and saw that the envelope was stamped and sealed with the longbow insignia of the Great Gong Clan that he saw at the rope of those family disciples he met in the Hundred Poison Valleys. He still smiled as he tore it and began reading the content of the letter.

After a couple of minutes, Joey put the letter inside the envelope and passed it toward Bai Yi.

"Have you considered it, young master Joey?" Bai Yi asked, seeing his all smiles face.

Joey still kept smiling as he supported his chin and showed his pondering expression."No, I reject them all." He responded, grinning at Bai Yi.

"You…you have even killed Bai Zhen, our pride of the clan using underhanded means. And you dare to refuse our terms. Don't you fear that my Great Gong Clan will take revenge on you? Believe me, when I say revenge it means we'll exterminate all of your family members, regardless of old, young, men or women." Bai Yi threatened and released his extremely overwhelming aura of the early level 1 Semi-Boundless realm[3] and pressed over Joey.

Joey still remained unperturbed and responded calmly while smiling, " I don't care at all. Just do whatever your clan wishes to do." He then smirked and replied in a domineering tone, "Then I shall have  the reason to kill you all." And he raised his right hand casually and made a poking motion with his forefinger in the air.

Bang!

The next instant, with a loud banging sound, the aura disintegrated, pushing Bai Yi three steps back.

At that time, everyone around there looked at him and had the same thought in their minds, "He's so strong!!"

Bai Yi frowned and said, "Humph! I know your origin, brat. Aren't you the fifth prince of the Tang Nation of the Eastern Continent? Even though we can't kill you now because of the Hall Of Alchemy. We can still level the Tang Nation in a night. I shall give you one more chance; serve my clan for three hundred years and we shall leave you and your family alone."

Joey scratched inside his ear with his little finger and said mockingly while flicking the earwax in the air in the direction of Bai Yi. "Ah, what a bad day I have today?! Fine, do whatever your clan wishes to do?"

Bai Yi, the envoy from the Great Gong Clan, shivered his body with anger. He then glared at Joey. If a look could kill then Joey would have been dead gruesomely by now.

"What? Don't you have anything more to say? "  He paused for a few seconds and shouted, "Then get lost. I have more important things to do now."

"Humph!" Bai Yi snorted. He glared at Joey meaningfully one last time, flicked his sleeve, and disappeared in the thin air.

Joey then looked at the other three in the air and said, "Seniors, if you all must have come here for the World Martial Meet then I'm sorry." He then took out a golden ticket from inside his space ring and showed it to them. "I have already decided to join the competition in the name of Hall Of Alchemy," announced him, without beating around the bush.

Joey cupped his hands toward them and said politely, "Seniors, you must have already learned about it. It's not really the right time for me. And I'm really pressing in time here. Please, leave. I'll serve you all to tea another time."

Hearing his words of shooing them away in a polite way, the other three men also disappeared from their spots leaving without uttering a single word.

"Little brother Joey, tch. Too bad. I have been dreaming of doing many things with you these few days. Now I have to cancel them all."  Wang Roufu the envoy of the Inviolable Fire Clan said, acting pitiful expression as she shook her head.

"Little brother, I have some matters to attend to. I shall excuse myself." She then disappeared from the spot like some smoke in the air.

Joey looked over at the scrawny beggar-looking Feng Jifeng who was currently squatting on the ground and asked, "Senior Jifeng, aren't you leaving, too?"

Feng Jifeng stood up and said, "Boy, what do you think about that beautiful Wang Roufu?" His sudden strange question had taken Joey back.

"I mean, do you think we are a match for each other?" he further added.

Joey imagined, pondering over the graceful, and elegant-looking Wang Roufu first. He then continued checking over the beggar-looking Feng Jifeng from his curly and messy hair up to his bare feet. A few drops of sweat came out of his forehead. Joey sighed inside and responded with a wry smile, "Yes, you... two ... are .... perfect. Umm, I meant you two are the perfect match made by heaven."

"Hee hee hee, that's what I have been thinking in my mind, too. You are so likable, boy." Feng Jifeng chuckled and smiled from ear to air.

But Joey had been screaming in his mind, "Why are you asking me that?... Ah, why don't you just look at the mirror and ask yourself? Ahhh.....!"
