705 Warp and Weft Footnote: Warp and Weft is a weaving technique in how the horizontal and vertical fibers interlace and intersec (1/2)

Unaware of the impact his words had had on the Dragon King, Doctor Sun felt just a bit sorry for the situation on the field. ”Almost! What a pity! The Dragon King could have defeated the swordsman from the Qingcheng Sect if his saber was just a bit faster.”

Shangguan Fei didn't care about the duel anymore. He vaguely felt that the doctor had given him good news but he wasn't absolutely sure, so he asked, ”Is the divine doctor trying to say that my Daoless Divine Power will gradually turn into the Sumeru Mustard Divine Power and then my Qi deviation will disappear by itself?”

Doctor Sun turned and glared at him. ”That's exactly what I'm said.”

Shangguan Fei could not hold back his excitement anymore and smacked his left palm with his right fist. He had been forced by his mother to learn the Daoless Divine Power and had suffered a lot; therefore, he didn't feel any sadness about losing it at all. ”How long will it take to dissipate?”

”It's hard to tell.” Doctor Sun was closely watching every move of the Dragon King's and perfunctorily said to Shangguan Fei, ”A year or two, or maybe twenty.”

”Ah? What if my Qi deviation breaks out before then?”

”Get over it and you live. Otherwise you die. Aiya, the two masters of the Kongtong Sect are going to join hands. What will two crutches be able to do? Oh, I see. This is the unique skill of the Kongtong Sect, the Warp and Weft Staff Technique. I didn't expect that I would still be able to witness such a divine technique at my age!”

Doctor Sun answered his own questions with great excitement. Shangguan Fei approached him and wanted to ask him more but was rudely pushed away.

Red Bat asked softly, ”Is the Warp and Weft Staff Technique very formidable?”

Shangguan Fei shot a glance at her, blaming her for interrupting, but Doctor Sun was apparently more interested in answering this simple question. ”Of course, but that's all hearsay. Warp and Weft is, you know, one horizontal and the other vertical, like a net being weaved in midair, which makes escape for the opponent impossible…”

As he spoke, Dog Butcher and Tu Pianpian had moved closer, each waving their own crutch. Their moves were neither fast nor fierce and there was not much of the aforementioned criss-cross movement between the two. They were still more than ten steps apart, and it seemed like they were still fighting on their own. In contrast, the other four had already engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat. ”

Doctor Sun grabbed his small bun of hair and frowned. ”Could I have guessed wrong?”

”How could the divine doctor be wrong? They are probably preparing their internal Qi. Divine doctor, please take a look at my illness again…”

Before Shangguan Fei could finish speaking, Fan Yongda, the disciple of the Kongtong Sect, who had unconsciously gotten near them, interrupted. ”Doctor Sun is right. This is precisely the Warp and Weft Staff Technique. Literally, it means that the crutches will run lengthwise and crosswise, but in fact, this staff technique is powerful enough to seal the Geavens. My Uncle Master and Aunt Master are setting up a battle formation and will soon demonstrate their true abilities.”

”I see,” Doctor Sun echoed along with Red Bat.

”You are bragging.” Shangguan Fei looked at Fan Yongda with a gaze full of disdain and suddenly pointed at him and asked, ”When did you sneak here, you ungrateful wretch? Long Fanyun, let's drive him away together.”

”He's not hostile, why drive him away?” Red Bat shot back, as she did not like the instructor's brother very much.

Long Fanyun, a man of few words, had been watching the Dragon King closely. Although he hadn't said anything, his motionless body obviously showed that he would not 'join hands' with Shangguan Fei to drive out this person.

Full of jealousy, Shangguan Fei said in a voice dripping with sarcasm, ”Warp and Weft Staff Technique, sealing the Heavens. What a formidable staff technique! Let's wait and see how the Dragon King and my sister get killed then.”

”Why are you cursing the Dragon King and the Instructor!?” Red Bat questioned indignantly.

Shangguan Fei was just about to argue back when Fan Yongda came straight over and said in a low voice, ”That's why I'm here.”

”You want us to betray…” Shangguan Fei shouted out loudly, but before he could finish speaking, he was poked in the chest by Doctor Sun. Actually, he could have dodged it, but he didn't dare to. He thought that the divine doctor was going to check his illness but as soon as the doctor poked his acupoint, a surge of foul air rose into his throat, which caused him to start coughing repeatedly and be unable to speak.

”What does your Excellency want to say?” Doctor Sun also lowered his voice. Long Fanyun and Red Bat also came over to listen.

Fan Yongda took a look at the situation on the field and pointed at the nearby tent, which was actually the tent Red Bat used as a latrine. Red Bat blushed and anxiously shook her head, and Long Fanyun said, ”Let's go behind it.”

Fan Yongda nodded and walked behind the tent, with the other three following along. Shangguan Fei finally stopped coughing and whispered an urgent warning, ”Don't be fooled. It's a trap.”

But the four had already disappeared behind the tent. Shangguan Fei stamped his feet and also hurried over.

It wasn't the best place to have a private talk, but time was running out, and Fan Yongda didn't have much of a choice. ”I'll make a long story short…”

”That would be for the best.” Shangguan Fei didn't forget to keep irritating the other side with sarcastic jabs, and only closed his mouth under Doctor Sun's intense glare.

”I just want to explain some of the rules of the Central Plains' Jianghu. Please do not misunderstand. I have no intention of belittling you.”

”We know you mean well,” said Long Fanyun, who hoped that the other side would cut to the chase immediately.

”In the Central Plains, unless there is a deep seated hatred that is unresolvable, there are usually no deaths in the kung fu competitions held between the various sects. And this time is no exception.”

”But this is a duel of life and death, and the ugly old woman also said that the last person standing would be the winner.” Shangguan Fei still wasn't able to keep his mouth shut, but this time his remark had the approval of his companions, including Doctor Sun who wasn't a veteran of the martial arts world of the Central Plains and didn't fully understand these subtle rules.
