The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 10: A Great Training Partner

A shadow rose in Tang San's eyes, but now that things had come to this, he could only try to stall for time until the dean and teachers came out.

Although Meng Huaifeng was fast, his movements were straightforward and easy to predict, and his transitions were stiff and awkward.

Tang San used his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Technique to nimbly maneuver around Meng Huaifeng, narrowly dodging several of Meng Huaifeng's attacks.

Seeing Tang San's nimble figure, Meng Huaifeng, who was a complete novice in combat, had a sudden thought and slightly reduced his strength.

He carefully observed Tang San's every move and applied what he learned, gradually adjusting his own fighting rhythm.

Gradually, Meng Huaifeng's movements became smoother, useless movements decreased, the speed of changing moves increased, and he also learned to conserve his strength. Occasionally, he could even use a move or two of Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps.

Seeing Meng Huaifeng's obvious progress, Dan Heng nodded to himself, thinking that his new companion's comprehension was quite good.

Tang San's face turned ashen. Damn it, how dare you steal my Tang Clan's secret techniques! You've already met your end!
However, he was no match for him.

Because Meng Huaifeng was holding back in order to gain more combat experience, he was unable to defeat Tang San for a long time. Tang San couldn't help but have a misconception that he was not as strong as he had imagined.

However, this cannot continue. The longer the stalemate lasts, the more of my Tang Clan's secret techniques will be stolen!
Tang San decided to take a desperate gamble, seizing the opportunity when Meng Huaifeng's attack missed and his center was wide open. He ducked down, and a half-meter-long, finger-thick steel crossbow bolt shot out from behind Tang San, heading straight for Meng Huaifeng's throat.

At the same time, he took out a Zhuge crossbow in each hand and fired twelve shots in quick succession, but all of them missed in an instant.

When one's soul power is not yet strong, mechanical hidden weapons are more powerful than throwing weapons. Among mechanical hidden weapons, the thicker and longer the weapon, the greater its power; caliber is the key.

This surprise attack can be considered Tang San's strongest attack to date.

Although the Dragon Beard Needle is specifically designed to counter Qi, its pure destructive power is actually quite weak, far inferior to mechanical hidden weapons. Perhaps its defense is unique enough to ignore the Dragon Beard Needle's counter, but in reality, it is not strong.

Tang San speculated.

"Watch out!" March 7th exclaimed.

Tang San has a wealth of combat experience and his timing is very precise. Meng Huaifeng, who lacks combat experience, has no time to react and can only use his imaginary energy to protect himself.

The countless crossbow bolts struck Meng Huaifeng, but they lost power without even creating a ripple, falling to the ground with a clatter.

"Bang—crack."

The steel crossbow bolt fired from Tang San's back caused Meng Huaifeng's energy defense to tremble slightly, but it still failed to break through the defense.

The defensive strength of imaginary energy far exceeded Tang San's expectations.

Since he couldn't dodge it, Meng Huaifeng decided not to. He seized the opportunity of Tang San's all-out attack and slashed at Tang San's waist with his sword.

Tang San's response was much more refined than Meng Huaifeng's. He first slammed his Xuan Yu Hand hard on the back of the sword, but unfortunately, the difference in strength between the two was too great, and he could only slightly reduce the force on the sword.

Then, several strands of blue silver grass were tied to the Zhuge Divine Crossbow that had missed its target, and they were placed at his waist.

The Zhuge Crossbow was made of refined iron and was quite strong. After Meng Huaifeng's sword cut through two Zhuge Crossbows, it left a ten-centimeter wound on Tang San's waist.

Although Meng Huaifeng was a little embarrassed that he had fought Tang San for so long despite his overwhelming advantage in attributes, he was still satisfied with his first real battle and learned a lot.

Tang San was somewhat unable to accept it. He had used all his skills, yet he still couldn't force out this person's martial soul!
What level is this guy? He looks only six or seven years older than me, how can the difference be so big?
Tang San never imagined that Meng Huaifeng didn't have a martial soul. "Who dares to cause trouble at Shrek Academy? And even injure my students? Do they think we old folks are all dead?"

Just then, a figure flew out of Shrek Academy, like an owl, surrounded by seven spirit rings, and swooped down on Meng Huaifeng from the air.

It was none other than the dean of Shrek Academy, the four-eyed owl Flanders.

"Trying to bully Huaifeng? Show me your arrows!"

On the seventh day of the third month, he took out his bow and arrows and shot three arrows at the approaching person.

How amazing can a little girl be?
Flander thought disdainfully and swatted at the incoming arrow with his claw.

not good!

The moment the eagle talons and the ice arrows touched, a chilling aura spread toward Flander's arm, forming a layer of frost on his skin. Had the contact time not been so short, his entire arm would probably have been frozen!

Flander's expression changed instantly. He immediately abandoned his attack on Meng Huaifeng, raised his body, and dodged the two arrows from behind.

Meng Huaifeng took the opportunity to return to the three of them.

"Who are you? Why did you injure my student?" Flander asked from mid-air.

"You lot are really something. You were the ones who started the trouble and attacked first. But when you realized you couldn't win, you immediately asked us who we were and why we attacked you. Teacher and students are exactly the same, shameless indeed." March 7th held his longbow, looking at Flander warily, and said with disdain.

“Exactly, shameless,” Xing chimed in, hands on her hips.

"Why don't you ask your students what happened, so they don't think we're lying to you?" Meng Huaifeng said irritably.

Dan Heng remained silent, constantly on guard against the person lurking in the shadows. In his perception, that person's energy level was far greater than that of the others.

From Tang San's perspective, I used to think that this group of people were powerful, protective of their own, and loyal.

From the opposing perspective, this group of people are just looking for trouble, bullying the weak, and after beating up the young, the older ones come along. They're disgusting.

Flander blushed. He had already guessed what had happened, but at first he felt that he had the strength, and regardless of who was right or wrong, he would take down these juniors first.

I won't kill them, I'll just teach them a lesson and let them know that there are always people more capable than you.

However, after just one encounter, Flanders knew he had kicked a hornet's nest and wouldn't be easy to defeat!
This is troublesome; it's not easy to solve.

Looking down at Tang San, who was tending to his wounds, and Ma Hongjun, who was speaking with a lisp while covering his mouth, he finally said to Dai Mubai, "Mubai, tell me exactly what happened."

"Yes, Dean." Dai Mubai glanced at Sanyueqi and Xing, who were staring at him with warning eyes, and recounted the whole story without distorting the facts or adding embellishments.

After Dai Mubai finished speaking, Oscar led a group of teachers and students from Shrek Academy out.

"Third Brother! Who hurt you? You're so badly injured! I'm going to kill him! Xiao Ao, restore the big sausage." When the little rabbit Xiao Wu saw Tang San's injury, her eyes instantly turned red, and she glared at Meng Huaifeng and the other three.

"It's nothing, just a minor injury." Tang San took the sausage Oscar handed him and quickly pulled Xiao Wu back. He couldn't even beat her, what use would Xiao Wu be if she rushed in? Would she just be a free kill?
