Chapter 9: He Who Knows The Times Is A Hero
Although Ma Hongjun was defeated in a few moves, Tang San was not panicked at all. If he used hidden weapons himself, he could similarly defeat him in a few moves.
This person’s speed was fast, and the fatty couldn’t react, but he had Purple Demon Eye, so he could easily see this person’s movements clearly.
The advantage is with me! Tang San was full of confidence.
“I apologize to him? Are you kidding? He was the one who spoke rudely first. Don’t tell me you didn’t see that I already showed mercy.”
Meng Huaifeng was somewhat amused with anger. He didn’t expect that upon just encountering Tang San, he would witness his hypocritical shameless face.
They are all protagonist groups, so why is there such a big gap between Tang San and the train crew?
Them injuring others is getting what they deserve, but others injuring them is a crime deserving ten thousand deaths.
“With your strength, you could clearly subdue the fatty easily, yet you insisted on beating him into severe injury. If you insist on not apologizing, then I can only personally seek justice for him.” Purple light flickered in Tang San’s eyes, and his hands showed a jade color, clearly having activated Purple Demon Eye and Mysterious Jade Hand.
“Wait, why do I feel something’s off? As they kept talking, why do I feel like Huai Feng became the villain? Weren’t they the ones who started trouble with us first?” March 7th was stunned by Tang San’s actions and couldn’t help but say.
“Your feeling is correct. If someone unaware of the truth only heard these few sentences, they would indeed think Huai Feng is the one bullying others with power.” Dan Heng affirmed.
“No way, how could it be like this? This guy talks, and it’s just… it has that kind of…” March 7th was indignant, wanting to speak but unable to find the right adjective.
“It has a kind of righteous shamelessness.” Dan Heng supplemented.
“Right! Exactly, that’s the feeling.” March 7th nodded vigorously.
“Got it, I’ll talk like that from now on!” Xing clapped her hands and said.
“Don’t learn that kind of thing, okay?” March 7th quickly advised against it.
Tang San’s aggressiveness also angered Meng Huaifeng. My strength is greater than yours, my backing is stronger than yours, can I suffer this grievance?
Meng Huaifeng sneered: “You can try if you can do it.”
“Tang San, Martial Spirit Blue Silver Grass, thirty-second level control system battle soul master, please advise.” Tang San didn’t forget etiquette; hypocrisy had become a habit.
“Meng Huaifeng, come at me.” Meng Huaifeng hooked his finger. He had no Martial Spirit, so he chose not to announce it.
In Tang San’s view, Meng Huaifeng’s action was full of provocation, still not announcing Martial Spirit, level, and positioning—truly arrogant.
You will regret it.
Tremble before Tang Sect Secret Arts!
“Blue Silver Entanglement!”
He started with the classic Blue Silver Entanglement, then Tang San’s hands waved out phantoms, as if he had several more arms. Countless various hidden weapons gleaming with dark light hid within the Blue Silver Grass and shot toward Meng Huaifeng.
Meng Huaifeng had a body full of Imaginary Energy but no combat techniques, so he could only fully channel Imaginary Energy to protect himself while calming his mind and slashing sword after sword at the incoming hidden weapons.
Relying on his extraordinary senses, Meng Huaifeng could clearly see the trajectories of the hidden weapons, but his techniques were really too poor. Even though he saw them, he couldn’t block all the hidden weapons; quite a few still dinged and clanged against Meng Huaifeng’s Imaginary Shield.
Fortunately, Meng Huaifeng’s shield was powerful; the hidden weapons couldn’t advance an inch and lost power, falling to the ground.
Protective Gang Qi?
A gleam flashed in Tang San’s eyes, and several strands of gold light as fine as cow hair shot out from between his fingers.
Most of Tang San’s hidden weapons had a dark metallic sheen, and the few points of gold light mixed in were especially obvious. The moment Meng Huaifeng saw the gold light clearly, a name flashed in his mind.
Dragon Beard Needle!
Meng Huaifeng immediately dodged to the side; the Blue Silver Grass was like paper paste, breaking without any hindrance.
Hmph, can you dodge one or two? Can you dodge thirty or forty?
You haven’t even learned martial arts, and you’ve barely fought a few times. I’ve seen through you!
Tang San revealed a smile of assured victory, touched his belt with his right hand, and a handful of golden small particles appeared in Tang San’s hand, then scattered toward Meng Huaifeng in a rain of flowers from the sky move.
The moment the golden particles left Tang San’s hand, they turned into gold needles as fine as cow hair, completely enveloping Meng Huaifeng and sealing all his positions!
Can’t dodge! Meng Huaifeng immediately realized.
Dragon Beard Needle is made from naturally golden board crystal as material; though metal, it cannot be attracted by magnets.
Specially breaks Gang Qi; after piercing the body, it curls into a ball, causing intense pain, and requires special techniques to remove—extremely vicious.
In the original work, even Soul Sage Zhao Wuji couldn’t block it and suffered from this hidden weapon.
Although Imaginary Energy and Soul Power are not the same, the quality should be several levels higher, but in terms of energy quantity alone, Meng Huaifeng at this moment should be not much different from Zhao Wuji.
Half a day ago, Meng Huaifeng, who was still an ordinary person, had no cognition of Imaginary Energy defense. Dragon Beard Needle is known for countering Gang Qi and is extremely vicious; even Zhao Wuji couldn’t block it.
Meng Huaifeng felt a bit unsure in his heart, and in that moment of hesitation, the Dragon Beard Needles had already shot onto his body.
The Dragon Beard Needles hit the shield, which didn’t budge at all; they were all bounced away, the Soul Power attached to the needles dissipated, and they curled back into small balls.
Dragon Beard Needle does specially break Gang Qi, but it depends on the strength of the Gang Qi.
Imaginary Energy of the same quantity is much more condensed than Soul Power, like the difference between cardboard and iron plate—same thickness, but Defensive Power worlds apart.
Meng Huaifeng breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed, but Tang San was starting to panic. This protective energy couldn’t even be broken by Dragon Beard Needle—what exactly is your strength?
With such strong strength, pretending to be a rookie to bully us young people—you have no martial virtue!
“Wait! Senior, I think it was indeed the fatty’s fault before. I’ll have him apologize to you all right now.” Tang San recognized the facts, immediately stopped attacking, and said humbly and politely.
“Why should I apologize? We were right at our academy gate—could we be bullied by outsiders?” Ma Hongjun covered his mouth, speaking unclearly, and said unconvinced.
Tang San frantically signaled Ma Hongjun with his eyes. Idiot, do you want to die? These people’s strength probably far exceeds our expectations; even the dean and others might not be their match.
Ma Hongjun didn’t get Tang San’s meaning at all, but Oscar understood part of it, knowing they weren’t opponents, so he quietly ran toward the academy to get reinforcements.
“Fatty, apologize quickly!” Tang San was getting anxious and said sternly.
“No need, no need for him to apologize.” Meng Huaifeng said: “You hit when you want, stop when you don’t—where does such good fortune come from? Your hidden weapons before were all aimed at vital points; if it were others, they’d probably be dead already. Knowing you’re outmatched and stopping now? Too late.”
“Senior, our two deans are both Soul Sages. Spare people when you can—speaking of it, it was just the fatty being a bit rude, nothing major. We’ll offer apology to you all; can we let this matter rest?” Tang San brought out the backing he could, neither humble nor arrogant.
“Was it just rude words? You struck first, and when to stop isn’t up to you.” Meng Huaifeng stopped talking nonsense with him and charged straight at Tang San.
I think the train crew generally doesn’t use full strength in conflicts with natives, like fighting Jace and Bronya and the others, otherwise they wouldn’t be chased by Bronya.
