Chapter 338: Grand Plan

Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations

Fang Zhengzhi didn’t know what Princess Shan Yu was thinking now.

Or, it could be said that even if he knew, he wouldn’t be the slightest bit afraid. In reality, from the moment he decided to stay, he had been planning.

This was an extremely grand plan.

However, this plan must fulfill a requirement.

That was to build up reputation in the Southern Mountain Range.

Initially, he had planned to achieve this in two steps. The first was based off Princess Shan Yu. He wanted to use a cultured method to tell Princess Shan Yu stories, then, slowly gain Princess Shan Yu’s trust.

The second was to find an opportunity to gain popular authority among the entire army.

Initially, he felt that in order to fulfill any of these two points, sufficient time was required. However, in reality, he seemed to have overestimated the difficulty of these.

Because…

He was actually able to successfully challenge General Tai with such ease. Furthermore, what gave him an even pleasant surprise was that Princess Shan Yu had actually chosen to let Fang Zhengzhi fight with General Tai on the drill ground arena.

Most importantly, it was a battle of technique!

This was simply paving a shortcut for Fang Zhengzhi to reach the sky in a single bound.

”Then, General Tai… Sorry for exploiting you!” Fang Zhengzhi’s grin was radiant. Because, he knew very clearly what would happen after today.

Compared to Fang Zhengzhi’s radiant smile, General Tai now felt aggrieved, very aggrieved.

The great Tiger General of the Southern Mountain Range, a powerful being of the Supernatural Advanced State, was now beaten up badly by a ”pawn”. Most importantly…

The opponent wasn’t planning to stop!

Fang Zhengzhi naturally wouldn’t stop. The fighting technique of the Stabilisation Constabulary was very complicated. However, in theory, it was extremely easy - press forward with indomitable will. If the opponent retreats, I will advance. If the opponent falls, I will step on him a few times.

In short, as long as he was alive, he wouldn’t rest.

Even if the opponent had to search for all his teeth on the floor, he had to make sure that he wouldn’t be able to find any teeth.

After successfully landing two attacks, a third attack lashed out.

However, this time, General Tai was evidently more vigilant. It was impossible for the great Tiger General of the Southern Mountain Range to be a showy empty vessel without any practical skills.

Losing twice in a row.

This was due to reasons of carelessness as well as miscalculations.

He had never imagined that Fang Zhengzhi would use such deadly and immoral moves. Furthermore, Fang Zhengzhi’s refined and cultured appearance caused him to have great difficulty imagining that his techniques would be as swift and powerful.

Putting up such a desperate fight to the death at the start?

The anger in General Tai’s heart was now completely ignited. He began to counter-attack.

Unfortunately…

One wrong move led to many wrong moves.

How could the Stabilisation Constabulary’s battle spirit be countered as and when one wished?

On the arena of the drill ground.

Fang Zhengzhi lashed out with punches, palm strikes and grabs towards General Tai. Techniques that appeared messy and random actually combined together naturally and beautifully to form one great technique.

On the other hand, General Tai retreated step by step. He had already been completely forced to one corner of the drill ground arena.

The soldiers below the arena were completely stunned by this scene.

Before the start of the fight, they had imagined countless possibilities. For example, Fang Zhengzhi would lose a few teeth, how long it would take for Fang Zhengzhi to beg for mercy, what kind of defensive moves would Fang Zhengzhi use.

Yet, in reality.

Everything was the complete opposite.

This isn’t right, the outcome shouldn’t be like this!

Why was an ordinary soldier able to wreck the Tiger General of the Southern Mountain Range so badly that he didn’t even have the strength to counter. All he could do was…

Retreat!

General Tai’s eyes were filled with red. He couldn’t retreat anymore, he could only put his life on the line.

The huge black axe on his hand swept out horizontally at the most critical juncture as a streak of black light drew a crescent-moon like arc around his body.

This was the only move he could think of to force away his opponent.

However, even so, he received a punch to the face. The pain was burning. This punch landed on his eye.

A dark panda eye appeared on his face.

On the other hand, after Fang Zhengzhi landed an attack, he finally retreated gracefully, just like a leaf drifting down in the powerful wind, drifting to the other corner of the arena.

”He finally retreated!” Even though General Tai had to take a punch, he was still somewhat happy inside. Because, if he still allowed himself to be forced back in this manner, he might really lose.

This was something he would never wish to experience.

”Do you feel a pleasant surprise?” Fang Zhengzhi stood with hands behind his back in a corner of the arena, asking General Tai with a bright smile on his face.

He naturally didn’t have to retreat completely during that previous attack.

But, he still retreated.

The reason was very simple. He gained an opportunity, an opportunity to plant his authority and grow his reputation. Then, in order to make full use of this opportunity, he had to defeat General Tai justly and honourably.

Furthermore, he had to ensure General Tai lost fully contentedly.

If he forced General Tai off the arena in such a manner, the soldiers of the Southern Mountain Range would only believe that Fang Zhengzhi was extremely lucky.

The opportunity would disappear instantly.

That was how Fang Zhengzhi thought. However, that wasn’t how General Tai thought. In General Tai’s mind, he had forcefully pushed back Fang Zhengzhi by taking a punch.

At this moment, the spirit of the soldiers below the arena was revived.

Forced Fang Zhengzhi back?

Then, General Tai was about to demonstrate his invincible might next!

They were filled with anticipation, anticipating General Tai’s splendid performance that was coming up next.

Only Princess Shan Yu frowned slightly. Because, Fang Zhengzhi’s expression was really too leisurely, as if he hadn’t felt the slightest bit of regret after being forced back by General Tai.

This was clearly not very normal.

”Pleasant surprise?” Princess Shan Yu’s lips softly mouthed these two words. Looking at Fang Zhengzhi with her dark eyes, she grew even more curious.

General Tai was also mouthing these two words.

However, these two words came out in the form of an enraged bellow. ”Pleasant surprise! Good kid… today, I really want to see how much of a pleasant surprise you can give me today!”

General Tai naturally wouldn’t believe that Fang Zhengzhi’s abilities exceeded that of himself.

However, before his voice had even landed completely.

The pleasant surprise came.

Just as surprised as himself were the soldiers below the arena, as well as Princess Shan Yu who was lying down on the golden animal skin.

”How is this possible?!” All of the soldiers widened their eyes.

Because, on the arena, Fang Zhengzhi had drawn open the Fire Rattan Bow. Furthermore, he pulled it into a perfect full moon.

The Fiery Rattan Bow emanated a scorching hot air.

At the same time, it also ignited the eyes of the soldiers standing below the arena.

A fire appeared in their eyes. That was the Fiery Rattan Bow, Princess Shan Yu’s Fiery Rattan Bow. He… actually managed to pull it open.
