Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 131 Return to the Academy
Seeing Ning Mo's serious expression, Tang Zheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be so exaggerated. We are the only ones who kill people. No one can kill us. You don't have to be so serious when you are with me. Just be casual. You can learn this from Qing Yan."
As Tang Zheng spoke, he pointed at Xu Qingyan who was standing on the other side of him. However, when he saw Xu Qingyan's poker face that looked like it was carved out of ice, he sighed and said, "Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything... Anyway, just do whatever you want. I'm a very easy-going person."
"Ning Mo and Qing Yan, go and find out about the Yingshan mission. Once I pass the Tracing World Star Tower, we can start work in full swing. My top priority now is to complete the Tracing World Star Tower. Otherwise, it will be a big deal to be stuck at the peak of the two-star level and waste my life." Tang Zheng added.
Ning Mo and Xu Qingyan naturally had no objection to Tang Zheng's decision. They nodded to each other, left Tianxia Minglu, and continued to look for a suitable Yingshan mission according to Tang Zheng's instructions.
Tang Zheng returned to his room, lay on the bed, took out the martial arts book "Secrets of Strengthening Meridians" that he bought at the auction from his storage bag, and began to study it.
After the battle with Leng Zhan a few days ago, Tang Zheng, in addition to solving the mystery of Ning Mo's sister, spent the rest of his time reflecting on and digesting that battle, and he has gained a lot so far.
In addition to some combat experience and improvement in martial arts application skills, there was another thing that attracted Tang Zheng's great attention.
That is, resistance to negative states.
Whether it is Tang Zheng himself or Leng Zhan, they both have the means to put their opponents into a negative state during the battle.
Tang Zheng relied on the bonus of being a Taiyin Star Favored One and the top-grade dagger Han Jiangxue to bring an all-pervasive chill to his opponent. Leng Zhan relied on thunder-attributed martial arts, and every time he hit his opponent, he could use the thunder force to paralyze the opponent temporarily. Especially after activating the astrological talent, the thunder feathers that emanated from the sky brought Tang Zheng a lot of trouble.
Based on the experience of this battle, Tang Zheng predicted that in the future, he would definitely encounter such a strong enemy whose attacks brought negative status again.
Therefore, it is necessary to prepare for a rainy day.
Tang Zheng has been recalling the momentary feeling of numbness brought about by the cold war's thunder force entering his body, especially the effect of Lei Yu interrupting his martial arts. After thinking about it, he finally had a preliminary idea.
Continue to enhance the strength of the star veins!
According to Tang Zheng's feeling, when those negative star powers invaded the body, they achieved various negative effects by interfering with the star veins and accumulating damage, whether it was the paralyzing effect of Cold War's thunder martial arts or the slowing effect of his own cold invasion.
If the star veins are strong enough, although it is impossible to completely ignore these negative states, it can definitely greatly improve the resistance and reduce the negative effects.
This is just like the settings in previous games, where high physique brings high blood and high defense, and high star vein strength can bring high resistance and toughness, greatly reducing the risk of being interrupted when performing martial arts, as well as the damage caused by negative states.
With this idea in mind, Tang Zheng felt more and more that buying the book "Secrets of Strengthening Meridians" was a perfect decision and it was totally worth it!
However, just like the Treading Clouds Step, he studied it several times but was unable to fully understand this martial arts book.
"It seems that I have to ask Li Xiaoren for help again. I used to think that since all martial arts have guided versions, there would be no point in learning them in the academy. Now I think about it, I am still too young. There are actually more good martial arts without guided versions. Without the guidance of an experienced master, I would be lucky to have mastered the Nine Yin Scriptures and the Toad Kung Fu..." Tang Zheng studied for a long time and felt that he did not gain much. He closed the book helplessly and sighed.
In this way, Tang Zheng held the "Secrets of Strengthening Meridians" and read until he fell asleep. Early the next morning, he found a large pool of saliva on the pages of the book. He packed up his things in disappointment and set off directly for the academy.
As soon as he returned to the academy, Tang Zheng met Ouyang Luoluo. She was not even surprised to see that Tang Zheng had almost completely healed his injuries from the battle with Leng Zhan in just two days. Since she met Tang Zheng, he has been constantly refreshing all kinds of common sense and cognition. By now, Ouyang Luoluo has become numb.
However, seeing that Tang Zheng was alive and kicking again, Ouyang Luoluo still smiled and went over to say hello: "Tang Zheng, the contribution to the academy that you won in the last open challenge has been transferred to your name."
When Tang Zheng heard the news, he immediately smiled. He was still worried about his contribution to the academy a few days ago, but he didn't expect that in just a few days, his contribution to the academy has reached more than 10,000 yuan. Such a large contribution to the academy is enough to rank among the top three in the academy: "Haha, thank you very much."
Ouyang Luoluo smiled and shook her head: "You don't have to thank me, just don't make any more trouble. By the way, the matter of your identity... you handled it well. Everyone in the academy should believe that you are not Yingshan's person. By the way, how did you do it at that time?"
Seeing that Ouyang Luoluo deliberately lowered her voice and looked curious, Tang Zheng of course knew that she was referring to the time when he deliberately drank the "smart water" in public and asked and answered his own questions in order to clear his identity as Yingshan and prevent future troubles.
Tang Zheng squinted his eyes and whispered, "Of course the 'smart water' is fake. How could the City Guards lend me such a precious thing that would affect my reputation? They just helped me by letting Xu Qingyan investigate the crossbows and corpses left at the scene."
Ouyang Luoluo's eyes widened : "Ah? Fake? Then why did you act so genuinely at that time? I actually believed that you were really drunk!"
"Well, because I... am an actor!" Tang Zheng imitated Stephen Chow's accent, smiled, waved and walked away.
After saying goodbye to Ouyang Luoluo, Tang Zheng hummed a little tune and went straight to the venue where the freshmen were practicing martial arts.
Sure enough, Tang Xiaotang, Meng Fenghua and Jiang Wuyan were practicing martial arts diligently under the guidance of Li Xiaoren. Everyone was so focused that they didn't even notice Tang Zheng walking in.
"It's full of youthful passion..." Tang Zheng was waving his folding fan, looking like a seasoned veteran. He watched several people practice and completely forgot that he was actually one of the freshmen.
"Yes, martial arts is so attractive."
Tang Zheng was pretending to be cool when he heard a voice in his ear. He turned around and saw Leng Zhan, who was still wrapped in bandages. He didn't know when Leng Zhan suddenly stood next to him, which scared him.
"Fuck, when did you appear? I remember you were not practicing here, right?" Tang Zheng glanced at Leng Zhan and asked.
"That's right, it wasn't like that before. From today on, I will practice here!" Leng Zhan looked back at Tang Zheng and answered frankly.
