Chapter 033 – Announcement of Victory (2/2)
Just like that, Shen Yuan absentmindedly found Tang Tian appearing before him, he wanted to go and bang his head against the wall, why did he stay here?!
“Bro Yuan Yuan! Your Spirit Card was truly powerful! So useful!” Tang Tian exclaimed.
Shen Yuan laughed forcefully, as he thought to himself: “What irony, what irony, what irony….”
Tang Tian’s eyes shone, replying, “I’ve practiced them all, the five types of martial arts, super powerful!”
Shen Yuan laughed even more forcibly, thinking: “Is this even believable, this smoke screen is way too flimsy..”
“Bro Yuan Yuan is too amazing, Bro Stone also praised your skills in matching the cards. Close quarters combat expert! Wa wa wa!” Tang Tian excitedly exclaimed.
Shen Yuan’s smile turned wooden, thinking to himself: “What nonsense are you blabbering, please just go away….”
“Close quarters combat expert?” Sima Xiang Shang interjected excitedly as he heard this term mentioned.
“Ah ah ah, you know it too?” Tang Tian, as if he had discovered a new world, turned to gaze at Sima Xiang Shan with an exhilarated look.
“Definitely makes one anticipate!” Sima Xiang Shan said, his face was all smiles, “Perhaps we might even be able to spar.”
“If so, you will definitely be defeated by me!” Tang Tian’s tone was of one self-assurance.
Silence blanketed the entire space and everyone’s gaze took a strange glaze, looking towards Tang Tian with pitying eyes.
Han Bing Ning blurted, “Do you know who he is?”
Tang Tian shook his head and said, “Nope, I don’t know.”
Han Bing Ning was about to reveal Xiang Shan’s identity when she heard Tang Tian carry on his sentence, saying: “But as long as it’s my enemy, they will be defeated by me.”
Han Bing Ning, upon hearing this, was as stunned as everyone else who heard it.
“All enemies are meant to be defeated, no?” Tang Tian’s face looked as if he spoke a universal truth.
Han Bing Ning wanted to speak, but she was at a loss for words, she gazed at Tang Tian, whose pupils shone with tranquility, without a spark of fear. The looks of ridicule on Ming Guang and Shen Yang’s faces faded away, as they silently pondered Tang Tian’s words.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
The sound of clapping jolted everyone out of reverie, and the one who applauded was none other than Sima Xiang Shan himself, as he merrily said: “This is the best sentence I’ve ever heard.”
“Because of this phrase, even if we were to meet in a competition, I will not kill you.”
“I will cripple your Dantian and allow you to ruminate in defeat forever, how wondrous and interesting that will be.”
Sima Xiang Shan’s tone was warm, but his words chilled everyone to the bone.
With a cheery voice, Sima Xiang Shan appeared all of a sudden. He turned to the sky smiling and said ‘Really looking forward to it.’
He turned and walked away after speaking.
‘Who is he?’ Tang Tian asked Han Bing Ning curiously.
“Sima Xiang Shan”, Han Bing Ning looked at Tang Tian worriedly. She knew Sima Xiang Shan’s temper was eccentric, who knows, he might really do it.
Tang Tian let out an ‘oh’: “So he’s the one who was beaten several times by Qian Hui?”
Sima Xiang Shan who had just stepped out, staggered.
Shangguan Qianhui was the bane of his existence, all those years ago, he had to live in her shadow. He had continuously tried to challenge and beat her, but every single time, he would be defeated miserably.
That damn woman!
Bastard!
Sima Xiang Shan regained his composure, as he turned around, a billowing murderous intent crashed towards Tang Tian.
Han Bing Ning took a half-step forward, her hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist, her eyes narrow.
The icy-cold killing intent, she had no way of breaking through!
Sima Xiang Shan looked at Tang Tian coldly.
Wang Zheng suddenly opened his mouth: “Sima, if there’s anything, settle it at the competition.”
The killing intent was retracted all of a sudden, as Sima Xiang Shan broke out in laughter: “You’re indeed gutsy! This year’s competition will finally be worth getting excited about.”
He waved his hand: “Godlike teen, I’ll see you again!” [Robin: This is slightly weird, since I’m guessing that they’re about the same age. But it’s what the Author wrote :)]
After which, he disappeared.
Han Bing Ning relaxed, and thought of Shen Yuan’s embarrassment earlier, as she said curtly: “Let’s go back.”
Cai Xue and He Xiao qin followed hurriedly.
Wang Zhen nodded towards Tang Tian, before leaving with an appraising look in his eyes.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
“Tang Tian’s strength is really tremendous.” He Xiao Qin was analyzing carefully: “He doesn’t look like he amounts to much, but he could actually display such strength, it could be said his technique execution was also very powerful. As of now, he used [Flash Fist] and [Aerial Wood Stake], both of which are rank two techniques. Just using these rank two techniques he defeated his opponent, and he can be considered a threat to us!”
Cai Xue lowered her head, as though she was thinking.
He Xiaoqin noticed Cai Xue’s strange expression, and asked curiously: “Ah Xue, did you discover something? Tang Tian’s earlier performance was not revealing enough, I could only do so much in terms of analysis. However, to be able to capture everyone’s attention, this Tang Tian sure has some tricks! The upcoming competition is bound to be interesting!”
“New discovery?” Cai Xue lifted her head, her expression bewildered.
“Your expression, is truly weird, what are you thinking about?” He Xiao Qin was feeling that the situation was turning strange.
“Can I…. can I really say it?” Cai Xue asked softly.
“Say it! What is there that cannot be said?” He Xiao Qin quipped loudly, looking even more confused.
Han Bing Ning also pricked her ears, she could tell that Cai Xue was not in her right mind, but she always put up a cold front, and would not take the lead to open her mouth.
“Senior Sister, what kind of girls do you like?” Cai Xue asked, looking a little shy yet curious at the same time.
Han Bing Ning staggered, almost falling to the floor.
