Lu Mingfei, why are you slaying dragons if you're not involved!

Chapter 92 Luck Blesses You, Connecting the Light and the Dark! (3.6K)

"who!"

As Teacher Zhang shouted, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt his breath catch in his throat.

It wasn't some kind of oppressive force that made him unable to breathe, but rather... the wind throughout the entire floor suddenly seemed to have weight.

The invisible air currents transformed into countless transparent giant pythons, coiling around Teacher Zhang's body.

This was no ordinary flow of yin energy. A violent wind element, accompanied by a suddenly rising golden eye like a torch, surged around the one-armed man, as if an unseen dragon was awakening and spreading its wings!
Dozens of windows shattered simultaneously under the sudden and enormous pressure difference, with glass shards flying outwards like rain, only to be swept back into the gym by the gale and piled up again.

At a time like this, Teacher Zhang still had the leisure to prevent an accident caused by objects being thrown from a height!

He put down the Overlord Spear in his hand and shot out of the window like a cannonball.

With a more open area, he could finally be more unrestrained. So the gentle explanation of "air blade manipulation" in the textbooks of Kassel College turned into a raging storm that could almost tear the sky apart!

However, such a solemn and grand battle preparation was destined to be a futile effort... because as the strong wind blew and the misty fog dissipated, the figure that had been floating in mid-air also vanished without a trace.

They came silently and left without a trace.

If it weren't for the fact that Lu Mingfei's casual remark could make the living spirit within the Overlord Spear "submit" and change, shocking everyone, no one would have noticed until the other party left or launched an attack!

"..."

Teacher Zhang waited on high alert for a while before confirming that the other party had really run away.

He slowly "flew" back into the gym, his golden eyes gradually dimmed, and the surging energy around him dissipated.

"The good news is that the other side either doesn't have strong direct combat capabilities or lacks the desire to fight."

Teacher Zhang looked at Lu Mingfei and said, "The bad news is that he/she has extremely strong abilities to hide their tracks and move around."

"Teacher Zhang, you don't need to look at me when you say that..."

Lu Mingfei spoke with a hint of guilt, glaring fiercely at the Overlord Spear that had just been thrown to the ground.

"This thing must have been controlled by that person outside! They're deliberately framing me, trying to sow discord among us so they can profit from it!"

Then, another change occurred—the Overlord Spear trembled and emitted a low groan of "regret," and began to transform again, returning to its original length of three and a half meters, with a rough-looking spear body.

Like a sycophantic and treacherous minister who is despised and rejected, it seems to be saying, "Your Majesty, if you tell me to get lost, even if I am loyal and wish I could stay by your side, I will still obey your order and get lost!"

This change once again caused everyone in the gym to fall silent.

"It's a setup! It must be a setup!"

Lu Mingfei looked utterly dejected, filled with grief and indignation.

Who on earth came up with such a vicious scheme to frame an innocent citizen like himself?
What's the point?!
Teacher Zhang suddenly spoke up: "Mingfei, why don't you try calling it to get thinner and shorter again?"

"This...isn't that necessary?"

Lu Mingfei swallowed nervously. Was Teacher Zhang going to make the final verification before taking action? He felt as if he had already been taken to the execution ground, waiting to be "executed at noon" after his identity was verified!

Most importantly, Lu Mingfei himself felt a little guilty at this moment... Putting aside everything else, this Overlord Spear seemed to really obey him.

"It's okay to try it, nothing bad will happen."

Teacher Zhang urged, "Give it a try."

"Really nothing will happen?" There was definitely impatience in that tone, wasn't there? The golden eyes were already itching to ignite, and who knows, maybe the Overlord Spear would really transform as he said, and countless invisible wind blades would come rushing towards him! Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

The gym fell silent for a moment, so quiet you could hear your own heartbeat. Only the wind blowing in from above through the broken window entrance... everything was poised to erupt.

Lu Mingfei even saw that Chu Zihang's hand had somehow reached into the extra-long tennis bag, presumably to grasp the hilt of the knife wrapped in black sharkskin.
The Divine Sword Murasame was poised to strike from its sheath. Its posture was perfect for unleashing a powerful and swift draw slash.

The direction was slightly odd; it seemed to be pointing not at myself, but at... Teacher Zhang and Ye Sheng?
Hey, senior brother, what are you trying to do?!
Lu Mingfei's eyes widened in surprise. In his haste, he didn't have time to think too much. After preparing to open the entry, he cleared his throat and thought to himself, "Please don't be so obedient anymore."

"Um... Overlord Spear, make it thinner and shorter."

Everything was calm.

The once obedient Overlord Spear now seemed to be in a "bad/lost signal" situation, not responding to Lu Mingfei's commands and still lying quietly on the ground.

Teacher Zhang showed no surprise. He picked up the Overlord Spear from the ground, wrapped it in a strip of cloth, walked up to Lu Mingfei, and handed it to him: "Try it again?"

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath and, after making full preparations, gripped the metal gun barrel, its surface covered with rough cracks, with both hands.

Once it was clear that Lu Mingfei was holding on, Teacher Zhang immediately let go.

Despite having made preparations in advance, the sudden heavy weight almost caused Lu Mingfei, who was standing in the stance, to stumble.

"Thinner, shorter?"

And so the Overlord Spear began to change again, just like before... Lu Mingfei looked at Teacher Zhang with a hint of despair.

"Sure enough."

Teacher Zhang nodded thoughtfully, "It's not your fault."

Just when you think you've reached the end of the road and there's no way out, suddenly the path turns around and you find a new village in the dark!
Lu Mingfei asked, somewhat dazed, "Not... because of me?"

How was this conclusion reached?

You should know that all the changes that had occurred before almost made Lu Mingfei himself think that there was something wrong with him!
"Of course not. Isn't this exactly the same as your reaction when you first got this Overlord Spear this afternoon? This is normal."

Teacher Zhang explained, “Normally, the spirit of an alchemical weapon is bound to the weapon itself. So it can only sense your bloodline's call when you come into contact with it, and thus be ‘commanded’ by you. But the previous situation was different. I guess that the ‘location’ behavior of that being activated the domain of the Overlord Spear, so the spirit in the Overlord Spear has a larger range of movement, and thus can sense you remotely and be commanded and controlled by you!”

Lu Mingfei breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this, but still asked with some concern, "So, being able to summon and command living beings through bloodlines... isn't that a very strange phenomenon?"

“Rarely, but not impossible. Only beings with sufficiently high bloodlines can do this, and your bloodline happens to be S.”

Teacher Zhang smiled slightly, "I think you probably don't know that there are actually very few existing S-class hybrids, and there are also differences between S-class individuals... Principal Angers of Kassel College is one of the most outstanding among them."

After discovering that you can summon living beings by blood, I contacted Principal Angers and received confirmation from him that this phenomenon does indeed occur in hybrids… This answer was very convincing because he said he could do it.”

Now Lu Mingfei was completely relieved. That was Principal Angers! Although Lu Mingfei hadn't been to Kassel College yet, he had heard of the principal's great reputation; he was the leader of the Secret Party!
Lu Mingfei had already made up his mind in an instant: if anyone doubted him again, he would drag Angers into it!
"Just say that what I can do, Principal Angers can also do. If you want to doubt me, go and expose Principal Angers first. Otherwise, you're just bullying the weak and fearing the strong!"

Lu Mingfei thought to himself that he did not feel at all that this move was "borrowing the tiger's power" or "a dog relying on its master's influence."

The atmosphere in the gym finally returned to normal. Chu Zihang expressionlessly withdrew his hand, pulled up his extra-long tennis bag, and continued sparring with Ye Sheng. Meanwhile, Teacher Zhang prepared to continue teaching Lu Mingfei Tai Chi.

Although the "great enemy" has only been gone for a short time, it is necessary to return to normal order and behavior, otherwise life would be impossible.

Just maintain the necessary and sufficient vigilance at all times.

Lu Mingfei returned the Overlord Spear to Teacher Zhang and put it back in the containment box. Before the matter of the "Millennial Dragon Blood Zongzi" was resolved, this thing was obviously a hot potato.

"Time is running out, so we won't continue with the practical training. I see you've been practicing standing meditation for a while now. Have you felt the kind of 'qi' that Chu Zihang mentioned when he contacted me last time?"

Teacher Zhang asked.

"what?"

Lu Mingfei was taken aback, then carefully sensed it for a moment, and said with a strange expression, "It is indeed there."

What he didn't say was—not only did it exist, but it was also more obvious and much stronger than last time!
"Hmm... if that's the case, then it shouldn't be bloating."

Teacher Zhang clicked his tongue.

"You truly are a peerless genius! Come, try to mobilize that energy, just follow your instincts."

Theoretically, you should be able to concentrate that energy in your arm. Once you've done that, throw a punch at me, and I'll know if your 'energy' is correct.

"Does it have to be this brutal? Even if this really is 'qi,' Professor Zhang, shouldn't you be able to detect it through other methods, like pulse diagnosis or something..."

Lu Mingfei was somewhat embarrassed. "And what's with the theory! Aren't there any martial arts techniques, secret manuals, or anything like that?"

"No test can compare to the intuitive experience. As for martial arts techniques and secret manuals... they exist, but you have to practice them. There's no time for that now; you have to go to school and have extra lessons tomorrow, don't you?"

Teacher Zhang urged, "Hurry up and come on. Don't worry, I'll stand here and let you hit me. You can't hurt me! Just get ready, and when you feel ready, just start hitting me."

Lu Mingfei had no reason to refuse anymore. He tried to sense and mobilize the "qi" that was constantly flowing in his body, just as Teacher Zhang had said.

"Flow, concentrate...to the arm..."

This seemingly random act of "thinking" actually yielded a quick response: the "qi" flowing throughout the body was mobilized and gathered towards the arm.

At that moment, a line of semi-transparent text that he had never seen before appeared before his eyes.

[Ming Jin - Level 1] / [An Jin - Level 1] / [Ming Jin - Level 1] + [An Jin - Level 1]

This is... an attack option?

Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that the 'qi' was the basis for the two terms in Tai Chi Chuan to function—"circulate qi throughout the body, and connect with the divine in both light and darkness!"

He thought about it and figured it was just a test anyway, there was no need to risk injuring his muscles by using his internal strength. Besides, after practicing standing meditation for a while, his physical strength and energy had almost recovered...

Let's go with [Dark Strength, Level 1]!

So Lu Mingfei raised his hand and threw a punch.

This punch didn't look heavy; outwardly, it appeared to be just an ordinary punch thrown by an average person who had trained for a while.

Teacher Zhang raised his palm to meet the blow, but he didn't go so far as to actually stand there and let Lu Mingfei hit him, as that would be too disrespectful.

Fist to palm.

His previously calm expression suddenly turned serious!
With a swift movement, Teacher Zhang deflected Lu Mingfei's fist, sending it flying away.

He looked down at his right palm, where he had caught the punch—the skin on his palm was completely intact, without even a red mark.

But the slight, yet deeply penetrating, stinging and burning sensation emanating from inside his arm reminded him that if he hadn't reacted in time, his arm would have suffered a direct internal attack!

"Huh, huh..."

Lu Mingfei stumbled and collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at the light on the ceiling.

He now understood what it meant to "consume a great deal of physical and mental energy".

Before throwing that punch, he was full of energy and vitality, but now he just wanted to close his eyes and fall into a deep sleep, not even wanting to say a word.

And... this punch doesn't seem to have any effect?
He tried to roll his eyes.

At that moment, Teacher Zhang appeared in his field of vision and slowly squatted down.

His face showed undisguised anticipation and a slight upturn of his lips, and he deliberately lowered his voice.

"Um, Mingfei... does what you said about becoming my apprentice still count?"
