Star Iron: Imaginary numbers? Dude, I play with quantum reconstruction.

"I apologize, but with conviction..."

The icy blade in Yan Qing's hand had not yet fully materialized...

"To let you know how treacherous the world is, I have decided to launch a ruthless attack on you."

There was a loud "bang."

A silver light pierced his chest, and he collapsed to the ground. His bracelet began to glow green, displaying the message, "...Wei Feng..."

"Yes, given the same reaction time, a gun is much faster than a sword," Hua Wu said calmly, putting away the pistol he had pulled from his pocket.

Chapter 139 "An Honest and Honest Disciple Meets a Treacherous and Unethical Second Master"

That's right, Yanqing lost. She lost to martial virtue, and she lost to technology.

Jing Yuan stood there stunned; his apprentice had been killed with a single shot.

His muscles bulged again, and the five-hundred-million-fold gravity seemed utterly powerless and weak under his rage.

"Monsoon! Do you know what you...?"

"General, I'm fine." Yan Qing stood up. Apart from a red stain on his chest, with that insurance policy, he couldn't possibly have been hurt.

"Thank you for your guidance, Teacher. I understand now. When exchanging ideas, one should take the initiative, even when facing acquaintances."

Yanqing's understanding... Jingyuan fell silent, staring at his strong arms. The muscles had grown back, which left him bewildered, and he felt incredibly relaxed all over.

He glanced at the numbers on his bracelet; they hadn't changed. There was only one explanation: he had become stronger again.

He felt speechless, while Hua Wu beside him had already started laughing.

"Hahaha... The Divine Strategy General has become the Divine Strength General, all it takes is for Yanqing to fall down. I feel like this thing can't hold back for long... Lion, you need to control yourself. Try not to get angry so often, you... Pfft... I can't hold it in anymore, let me laugh for a bit... Hahaha. Don't worry, our Yanqing will be much more resistant to falls from now on, we won't have to worry about him getting crushed by strong opponents anymore."

Jing Yuan started multiplying the speed on the bracelet until it was full, at which point his muscles were reluctantly pushed back down.

"Let me have some peace and quiet..." he said, covering his head as he walked away.

He planned to go back to the Shence Mansion to calm down. He pushed the back door, and the door exploded instantly.

Seeing this, Hua Wu laughed even harder, "Pfft—hahahahaha!!! I'm dying of laughter."

Jing Yuan didn't say anything, leaving behind a lonely figure as he walked away.

Yan Qing also instantly sensed the trouble. He was so engrossed in increasing his power that he seemed to have forgotten how to control it.

Fortunately, he didn't touch his treasured swords, otherwise, he would have broken them one by one.

Now his sword is completely useless; it can only be used as a decorative piece.

Yanqing had just remembered why he had been shot when he asked, "Teacher, where's the secret manual you mentioned?"

"Secret manual? Of course, I've already prepared it for you." Hua Wu took out a mirror and then asked Yan Qing to hold out her hand.

He used the base of the mirror to scratch Yanqing's hand.

The slight pain left Yanqing a little bewildered. "This is... a blood oath system specially set up to prevent villains from stealing the knowledge? That's amazing. I've only ever heard of this kind of thing in martial arts novels from a long time ago."

Hua Wu nodded and said, "That's right, this is what is called blood recognition. You can connect to this thing now, right? If you encounter an enemy that is too powerful, break this thing, and a fragment will become a clone of you. Moreover, there is no need to retrieve it; it will find you through the causal link with you."

Upon hearing this, Yanqing felt that this thing was not a secret manual, but rather a magical artifact.

"Huh? Wasn't it supposed to be a secret manual? This...this is a magic weapon, isn't it?"

Hua Wu glanced at his disciple and saw that he was ungrateful and couldn't appreciate the finer things in life. Aren't magical treasures more practical than secret manuals?

"The function of a manual is to allow someone to quickly learn a skill. But my manual is different; you don't need to learn it, you can master it directly. This is the ultimate form of a manual! Moreover, it is highly bound to you, so it's probably not much different from the skills you already possess."

Yanqing frowned, puzzled. He couldn't understand it at all. If it was so simple, why take a shot for no reason? "Then... what was the meaning of that shot?"

"When you're about to abandon all martial ethics, your enemy will be even more so. You need to think about how to defend when you're attacking. Also, your attack has too long a wind-up; you need to figure out how to shorten it. Hmm, you should learn our old-timers' zero-frame start technique. Especially reciting that string of words before you start fighting."

"Don't just watch Jing Yuan chanting all day, 'Immortal boats soaring, cloud cavalry always victorious'! Such a severe pre-cast animation makes it easy to fall into his control."

Yanqing was unconvinced. Wasn't the Destruction Armor's wind-up animation longer than his? "Teacher, when you wore the Destruction Armor back then..."

Hua Wu immediately launched into a double standard PUA, "Silly kid, that's because I'm untargetable when I transform. You didn't have anything when you drew your sword. If you had any untargetable or invincible abilities, or even just dodged to the side, you wouldn't have gotten yourself killed by me halfway through your lines."

Yanqing's righteous spirit struck him with her elbow, preventing him from straying from his own will. "Strength comes from the body, but martial virtue remains in the heart. Teacher, aren't all martial artists supposed to uphold martial virtue?"

Hua Wu was determined to seduce Jing Yuan, this innocent little flower. "Martial virtue? Can that save your life? No, that's the cruel law of survival in the universe. Swarms, abominations, antimatter legions, they never talk about martial virtue."

Yanqing said directly, "Because they are not human, they naturally do not need to follow human rules."

Hua Wu coughed a few times, "Cough cough... I'll teach you one last move. This is the move you've always wanted to know. It's the move I used when I sparred with the Marshal."

"Man!!!"

"what?"

Before Yan Qing could even think, he saw a black mass rapidly enlarging in his vision. He tried to condense his sword to defend himself, but he found that his movements were too slow.

"Bang----"

Looking at the unconscious Yanqing, Hua Wu laughed and said, "I know this training is a bit pointless. My elbow strike is not even a tenth as good as the one I did against the Marshal that day. And you just sleep like a log? It's really unbearable to look at... Yanqing."

A flash of green light appeared in his hand, and Yanqing woke up again.

He pounded the ground in frustration, dust obscuring the sun. His hammering created a large crater in the floor tiles, and the Shence Mansion seemed to be shaken by an earthquake.

"Cough cough... Why, why is it so fast? I can't see it at all. I finally honed my strength to its peak, but in the end, I still have to match it with absolute speed?"

Hua Wu lay back in his rocking chair and said, “What I want to tell you is that speed and strength are both indispensable. Speed ​​alone is weak and powerless, and strength alone, though it may be able to break through all defenses, may not be able to hit the target. But it is much easier to cultivate speed after having strength first. It is much more difficult to cultivate strength after having speed first. It is more about endurance than speed.”

"I'm lying in this rocking chair right now, so you can hit me. You'll be done fixing it when you wake me up."

Hua Wu's expression was amused, with a hint of amusement. Yan Qing had suffered so much, he needed to let her vent a little, otherwise she might develop some psychological problems... and then this promising talent would be wasted.

Yanqing remained motionless at this moment, because he was afraid of his second master's zero-frame attack and lack of martial ethics.

Then he'll draw his sword and fire another shot, and then add something like, "All's fair in war."

He didn't want to eat peanuts anymore, and he didn't even know what kind of gun it was. His physique, honed to its peak, was easily shattered by a single gun.

"Teacher, you wouldn't be trying to cheat, would you?"

Chapter 140 Toppa: The company plans to cancel the vacation. Hua Wu: Great, I'll quit.

Star Train —

"The will to preserve!"

"The will to protect!!"

"A commitment to preservation!!!"

Qiong attempted to activate it, but unsurprisingly, the activation failed.

"What are you doing?" Xing didn't understand. Could holding this thing and shouting like that really lift the seal?

"I'm trying to activate my weapon."

"Is it possible that our world is a very idealistic world? If your belief is not strong enough, you can't cheat, understand? I checked the information and found that these star gods are all very outrageous. They all ascended to heaven after enlightenment."

Xing then retrieved the breeding data.

"If you want to awaken this thing, my suggestion is that you first open your mind. Guess how this star god ascended? Because it felt lonely, so it ascended and became a god. And then the universe was messed up."

Qiong looked completely bewildered. "Huh? How do I activate it?"

Xing paused for a moment, then asked, "Is there anything you particularly want to protect?"

"cell phone?"

"Give it to me." Xing snatched it away and slammed it to the ground.

"Do you feel that sense of helplessness when faced with something you want to protect? If you do, then you should be able to... Why do you look so calm?"

Qiong's gaze remained unchanged, staring at the fragments with indifference.

"Because I feel like it doesn't really matter, since you can fix it anyway, right?"

Xing frowned. "Uh... let's assume I don't know how to fix it."

Qiong thought for a moment and said, "Hmm... I'll have Danheng or Sanyue buy one for me online."

Xing was confused. What was going on? She remembered that her adopted brother's emotions were never this stable. "Do you still want to unseal your weapon? How come you're so calm? You shouldn't have said something like that and then..."

Qiong waved her hand to interrupt, saying, "After being hit by Mr. Walter's cane, I realized that there is an absolute difference between people. We cannot be too impatient and impetuous; we must know how to be patient and bide our time."

Qiong got up from the sofa, picked up the broken pieces on the floor, and silently left the hall.

Xing was left completely bewildered. "Why have you suddenly become so unpredictable?"

.......

Shence Palace —

Jing Yuan stared at the crushed chess pieces in front of him, feeling a sense of absurdity he couldn't quite put his finger on.

The fact that a general of unparalleled skill couldn't even manage his own forces made him seem somewhat ridiculous.

"Alas... these are turbulent times. The Dragon Master, the Pill Refining Bureau, the Divination Bureau, the Construction Bureau, the Wisdom Clan, the Master, the Star Core, the Rakshasa, and that elusive Annihilation Lord..."

"These things are happening one after another, and I feel suffocated by the pressure... It's best not to let Jifeng know about his alleged overstepping of authority in dealing with Master Long."

"Danheng... Dragon Master was scared to death by Danheng... The Alliance won't accept such a death. We need to think of another reason... Oh, and there's also the report about Jifeng somehow obtaining the power of the Visionary Dragon... and the report about Jianmu's resurrection..."

“There has never been a shortage of complicated matters, and Fu Qing has also been busy dealing with miscellaneous matters from other departments recently.”

Jingyuan had never felt such immense pressure, like the suffocating feeling of Ultraman Tiga being unable to transform into his powerful form when Gatanothor had his neck bound.

He has a ridiculous idea in his head right now: he wants to just ignore it and see what the league can do about it.

But the moment the idea came to him, he rejected it.

"How could I have such a thought?! Something's not right... this is really wrong..."

Shence Backyard ——————

"Uh... hoo... haha..." Yanqing had lost count of how many times this ultimate move had been used. He only knew that his second master had already snored 824 times, and if he delayed any longer, he might wake up naturally.

He has already mastered three minor skills, two combat techniques, and four ultimate moves.

But it was useless; it just couldn't break through the defense.
