The Villain's Counterattack

The news that Duan Lang gave up his martial arts and offered his family martial arts to surrender to the gang leader Xiongba spread throughout the Tianxiahui within a day. Nie Feng went to visit him in person, and seeing his friend's pale face, he couldn't help feeling guilty and pity.

"I was initiated into the sect by a master, and all I learned came from my family tradition. I wasn't the leader's disciple, so I didn't fit in with the other people in the gang. I worked as a groom and menial servant for four years, but I still couldn't truly integrate into the Tianxia Association. Now that I have lost all my martial arts skills, although it's a pity, I have gotten rid of the past, started over, and truly become a member of the Tianxia Association." Duan Lang was not at all depressed. Instead, he comforted Nie Feng in a gentle voice, asking him to be more open-minded.

He even joked, "If you ever acquire any magical skills that aren't specifically for helping me, you could teach them to me privately. Wouldn't that be even better? I live in seclusion in the library, enjoying a cup of tea and a book in my spare time. I don't have to go on missions or fight, and I don't have to worry about food and clothing or danger. Isn't my life better than yours?"

Nie Feng knew that his friend had always had great ambitions, and now he actually said such words. How sad it was. But since things had come to this point, he had no choice but to muster up his spirits and offer the tonic herbs. Duan Lang accepted them all with a smile, without any intention of refusing, which made Nie Feng even more sad and upset.

After bidding farewell to Nie Feng, Duan Lang closed the door, picked up a wooden box and took a look at the ginseng inside. Although it was less than a hundred years old, it was considered top-grade stuff. The other medicinal herbs were also very valuable. He felt that his good friend was indeed thoughtful, and this was exactly what he needed most right now.

Physical training has never been an easy task. Even if one has the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art, the Yi Jin Gu Jian Pian, the Nine Yin Scriptures Golden Bell Cover, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra, the Yellow Turban Warrior Technique, and even the almighty God of War Atlas, it is impossible to improve physical fitness quickly without resources.

I have already left an impression of wanting to be a doctor in front of Xiongba. It will not seem so abrupt to go to Tianyi Pavilion a few more times in the future. After reading more medical books for a year or two and showing decent medical skills, my life will surely be better. After three to five years, it will be natural for me to go out to collect herbs.

Duan Lang was only allowed to recuperate for three days after "discarding his martial arts". Three days later, he took up his post as a handyman in the library. He was not a domineering person, so he did not let Wen Chouchou lead the way, and politely declined Nie Feng's company. As for guiding him with words, he asked Nie Feng to follow quietly, and taught a lesson to the disciples of the Tianxia Association who were about to intercept him on the way.

Being pushed and falling down in exchange for Xiongba's reduced suspicion was a very profitable thing for Duan Lang. As for falling out with Qin Ning and his son, that was not a big deal at all. Duan Lang was no longer a groom or a servant, but the third in command of the library.

Well, there are only three people in such a huge library.

Xiongba is not a very good person, but he is really good at developing his power, and he is very good at robbing and plundering. There are many martial arts in the Tianxiahui's library, and there are countless of them, both mainstream and mediocre. But these things, as long as they are not world-famous, are not valued by Xiongba, and he throws them away in the library at will, leaving his subordinates to exchange them for their merits. At this time, Duan Lang really got a bargain.

In front of outsiders, he was the lowest-ranking new servant in the library, but in the library, relying on his status as Nie Feng's close friend, he firmly controlled the two old men and became the real boss.

He is also a good person. He did not act in a domineering manner and bully others. Instead, he took the initiative to do a lot of work, such as re-planning the location of the book collection, standardizing the book collection list and searching, opening a book copying service, and setting a special area for tips for borrowers, etc., which allowed the two elderly people to increase their income while working.

The Library is a completely unprofitable government office, with no extra income at all. However, those who can work in the Library have decent calligraphy skills, otherwise they would not be able to do the work in the Library.

Xiongba may not be the person who can take care of things to this extent, but Wen Chouchou is a capable person who helps Xiongba manage the entire Tianxiahui in an orderly manner. Even Duan Lang has to admit that he is impressed.

Duan Lang, who had served as the chief escort of an escort agency spanning more than ten provinces, as well as the imperial tutor and served princes and emperors, had management skills that were beyond words. However, in this world, he had decided to hide his incompetence and be lazy, so naturally he would not perform too well. However, even so, he could play a small library very well, which amazed his father, Bear, who was secretly observing him, as if he had seen a second Wen Chouchou.

He secretly observed Duan Lang for three whole days and found that this kid was obsessed with finding martial arts suitable for a doctor to practice. He collected hundreds of second-rate and third-rate martial arts, but he couldn't find a first-rate martial art. However, this kid carefully read through each one, and even though he didn't find it after three whole days, he still refused to give up.

Xiongba also secretly modified a rather good lethal martial art and placed it in the place where Duanlang usually read books, but found that the boy read the introduction and found it was not suitable for a doctor to practice, so he threw it aside and left it alone, and he was extremely satisfied.

In fact, Duan Lang did not stop practicing. In the previous world, he first practiced "Xiao Yao Yu Feng" and then practiced "Chang Sheng Jue". Although he successfully practiced both martial arts, he always felt a little uncomfortable. This time, he used the discarded skills to start again and started directly from "Chang Sheng Jue".

The Secret of Immortality originated from the Atlas of the God of War. He had just comprehended the forty-ninth picture in the Atlas of the God of War not long ago, and had a new understanding of the Secret of Immortality. It was naturally easier for him to practice it, and he could easily get started without even having to sit in meditation. After that, walking, sitting, or lying down would all be considered practicing.

The immortality qi was exactly what Duan Lang was looking for: a healing skill that would be more convenient for concealment. It also had considerable lethality. And what pleased him most was that the immortality qi was extremely concealable. It was practically impossible to detect unless one had practiced the same skill or reached a far higher level than he did.

Is Xiongba's realm much higher than Duanlang's?

If it was the original owner, he would naturally be much superior and simply incomparable. However, the one who possessed Duan Lang was a traverser from the world of The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, a traverser who had reached the Broken Void Realm.

In the Tang Dynasty world, shattering the void is the highest realm, but this world of Fengyun is different. Above the shattering, there are celestial beings, and above the celestial beings, there is the mythological realm. At this time, Xiongba has just entered the shattering realm, and his realm is similar to that of Duanlang.

However, Xiongba had all the martial arts skills in his own hands and was able to exert the strength of the Broken Realm, while Duanlang only had the realm, and his body could not keep up at all. It still took him three days to complete the foundation of "The Art of Immortality", starting from the innate level, so he had a little self-protection ability.

In the world of The Legend of the Two Heroes of Tang Dynasty, the innate masters can barely be considered as minor masters, but in Fangyun world, the masters are all cannon fodder, the grand masters can barely be considered as local masters, the Broken Realm is not rare, only the celestial beings can roam freely, and as for the Mythological Realm, there are only a few in the entire Fengyun world.

Xiao Sanxiao counts as one, Wu Wudi counts as one, and Di Shitian can also be counted as one. As for the immortal gods and demons, they are somewhat different, at least they are also in the realm of heaven and man. Wuming is a standard master in the realm of heaven and man, but he has suffered many disasters and his body cannot keep up with the realm.
