Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 93: Compare, Learn, Catch Up, Help, Surpass
The flower that originally took a month to bloom for the first time, now blooms in just half a month under the urging of the flower king.
Tang Zheng was looking at the brilliant flower field under the sun, and he was in a trance returning to the time when he first came to this world.
Hauntings, encounters with friends, and deaths all happen within a day and a night.
Although things that are too intense are bad for the heart, if he hadn't started in such a stimulating way, he might have needed more time to separate himself from the gaming mentality and face a real alien world where there would be bleeding, injuries, and death!
But this is the world he wants!
There were only three disciples of Tangjiabao who had internal organ injuries, and four others who had serious external injuries. Tang Zheng hung the Purple Gold Orders around their necks, and then helped them into the flower field one by one.
Time passes by little by little.
Circles of decadence and extravagance quickly withered away.
The faces of the Tang Family Fort disciples who came out of the flower fields all regained their color.
Although their bodies were still very weak after being bedridden for half a month, there would definitely be no problem if they could slowly increase their practice while recuperating.
After the seven seriously injured disciples used the skill of luxury, a dozen disciples whose injuries were not so serious were also taken in one by one by Tang Zheng.
"Lan Shaoze is great, but our Master is even more powerful! We were able to recover our strength so quickly, and we will definitely catch Hidden Blue Villa off guard!"
"Humph, they probably thought we would have to stay in bed for a few more months!"
"This is what they call "the higher the virtue, the higher the evil!" Little Bell said excitedly, waving her hands.
"..." Tang Zheng's eyebrows twitched, "Ahem, don't use the wrong words!"
The next day, Tangjiabao's newly renovated martial arts training ground welcomed the long-unseen gathering of all the members!
As soon as they arrived at the martial arts training ground, they saw five big words hanging on a book.
Compare, learn, catch up, help, surpass!
The handwriting was not very good, but they were all very familiar with it.
That was Tang Zheng’s handwriting!
Facing the rising sun, Tang Zheng was already practicing with Meng Fenghua. By the time , the star power in his body had already reached more than four thousand one hundred strands.
Less than three months ago, he was still struggling with how to gather the first ray of star power.
And now, there are more than four thousand strands of one-star star power in his body, and he is striving towards the peak of one star!
"Compare, learn, catch up, help, surpass..." Tang Xiaotang recited these five words, her ponytail swinging in the air, "Okay!"
"Then how about you compete with me first?" Tang Zixie shook his wrist, and the hidden weapon in his hand directly faced Tang Xiaotang.
The martial arts training ground was filled with the light of martial arts bursting out everywhere.
The thorns or thorn flower constellations shine even more brightly in the sunlight.
Tang Boyuan, who had just returned from Wulong Town, looked at the brand new martial arts training ground, which was full of vigor and vitality. Even the injuries on his body seemed to have healed almost instantly...
"Apart from his star power, whether it's his knowledge, financial resources or combat experience, Tang Zheng should not be an unknown figure in this Xingyao Continent. It's really hard to believe that such a person would appear in our Tang Family Castle." Tang Zhongxing sighed softly beside Tang Boyuan.
"He is an orphan and suffered a lot outside the border." Tang Boyuan's eyes did not leave the thriving martial arts training ground. "Perhaps, because of this, he has such a deep affection for the children."
"I can only say that he is probably the 'chance' of our Tang Family Castle..."
"Well! Maybe one day, we will be able to hold our heads high in front of our family!"
…
Tang Zheng's star power gathering speed increased steadily. Although he wanted to reach nine stars in one breath, no matter how good the wish was, it had to be realized step by step.
The speed of gathering more than a hundred strands of star power a day is already very fast.
At night, Tang Zheng did not return to his own yard, but groped his way through an abandoned gate in the dark and went to the small yard where the plant was grown.
The yard was originally empty, so Tang Zheng didn't hesitate to ask Tang Boyuan to come over.
At this time, all the flowers in the yard had withered, and new flower seeds needed to be planted before they could grow another field of flowers. However, the flower king in the center was looking very fresh and tender, and was much better than when Tang Zheng took care of it himself.
But he didn't come here to see Kao.
He went into the house and opened the bags of things on his body - all of them were garbage picked up from Mo Feng.
The table was already filled with a row of stoves that he had asked the flower-growing boy to buy for him. The big ones were as big as gas tanks, while the small ones were as small as alcohol lamps.
Tang Zheng took out a gold bar from his belt and began the first step he had learned from others: melting the gold.
Puffs of black smoke came out of the stove.
Tang Zheng coughed several times and wiped his black face - why did he remember that there was no such a lot of black smoke when Mo Feng was melting gold?
He firmly grasped the stars with the power of Taiyin. With more than four thousand strands of star power, it was already quite strong and his star power was very stable.
However, with such a stable star power, he could only watch the black smoke coming out of the furnace...
About a quarter of an hour had passed, and he had only melted less than the amount of a 50 ml beaker of gold bar, with most of it still remaining in the furnace intact.
Tang Zheng simply didn't wait any longer and poured out the melted liquid carefully...
He was speechless again.
The purple gold melted by Mo Feng was a semi-viscous liquid with a very dreamy color, but what he produced was all black paste.
"Will it work?" Tang Zheng poured all the black liquid onto a wooden board he had carved in advance for testing.
What was engraved on the wooden board was a miniature version of the Tang Family Fort martial arts training ground!
The embarrassing-looking liquid fell into the formation bit by bit...
Tang Zheng held his breath and slightly extended his star power, locking all the liquid in the composition of the formation. Just as he got closer and closer, a loud noise suddenly came from the wooden board.
Boom boom boom…
A series of noises like those from firecrackers, accompanied by flames that shot up into the sky, actually lifted up the wooden board. The array patterns carved on it burst open as if by an explosion, and the force of the impact went all the way upwards, actually overturning the entire roof.
If Tang Zheng had not reacted quickly enough, he would have been disfigured by this broken piece of wood.
"Cough, cough, cough..." The room was already filled with black smoke. Tang Zheng was choking and ran out quickly. "How could there be an explosion? I didn't put any gunpowder in it, did I?"
Tang Zheng looked miserably at the roof which had another big hole in it, and thought that he would not be able to escape the title of "Rooftop Killer".
…
There was such a big commotion over here at Tang Zheng's place that even Tang Boyuan and the others came directly over.
The Tangjiabao is now in a state of panic, with every tree and grass looking like an enemy.
Although everyone is improving themselves, everyone is also afraid that something bad will happen to their family members.
Soon, Tang Zheng's place was surrounded by his students.
"It's okay, it's okay. When doing experiments... cough, there are always failures." Tang Zheng said to them while coughing with a blamed face.
After hearing what happened, Tang Boyuan shook his head in a helpless manner and told Tang Zheng to be careful next time.
Demolishing the yard is a small matter, but if something happens to someone, it would be a big deal.
Tang Zheng just thought he was listening to his elders nagging and nodded repeatedly in silence.
When Tang Boyuan left, his students immediately exploded: "Master, what do you want to forge? A new dagger?"
Tang Zheng sighed, sat on the ground, and told his idea: "I think, according to the Star Attraction Method, after the first-star intermediate stage, the star power is constantly flowing in the star veins. So, if there is a formation under the bed to assist in cultivation while we sleep, then we can level up while hanging up... Oh no, I mean, cultivate star power while sleeping?"
Leveling up while idle is one of the life pursuits of every time traveler!
Since Tang Zheng had this idea, of course he would try it. However, he did not expect that purple gold casting was so much more dangerous than ordinary casting, and he accidentally overturned the roof.
Hang up and level up...
Upon hearing his idea, Tang Xiaotang and the others rolled their eyes: "Master, Master, you have already reached the high level of one star in three months, what else do you want?"
The speed at which he cultivated his star power was beyond the reach of many people. Some people said that he cultivated it with money or that he was talented, but he was really very fast.
But this guy is still making trouble!
"You don't know how dangerous purple gold casting is!"
"You are the one who taught us to be less greedy, okay?"
"That's right! What will we do if you accidentally kill yourself? Can you afford the compensation?"
"Although you are really powerful, very powerful, but don't forget that your essence is still a...how do you say that word?" Tang Xiaotang scratched his head and asked to the person beside him.
"So funny! It's from the second section of the seventh lesson taught by the teacher." Tang Xuan, the top student, showed off.
Tang Zheng lifted the roof, there was nothing to refute, so he could only hold his head and let them talk.
As he spoke, he roughly knew where his problem lay—Zi Jin's ability to communicate with star power was too strong!
Pieces of purple gold were too common to him, so Tang Zheng didn't think there was anything dangerous about them.
Just like saltpeter, when it lies in the medicine cabinet, it is just an ordinary Chinese medicine needed to treat diseases such as stones and psoriasis.
But once it meets sulfur and charcoal and is made into gunpowder, the explosion effect is absolutely sour and delicious, and it can definitely be called a combat drug among traditional Chinese medicines.
"Alright, alright, I get it." Tang Zheng raised his hands in surrender. "I have fully realized the seriousness of the problem. I promise to protect the precious roof, rebuild it, and be a good person..."
Tang Xiaotang chuckled and said nothing more.
As they left the hut with laughter, Meng Fenghua, who was standing at the back, turned around and said quietly to Tang Zheng: "Tomorrow I will strive for the second star."
Tang Zhenggang was cleaning up the mess and paused for a moment: "Strike at the second star?"
