Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 162: Boiled Frogs in Warm Water
Tell a story?
When the audience heard Tang Zheng's words, they all found it unbelievable.
Facing the crazy attacks of a warrior who is one level higher than himself, being able to hold on is already the limit for a two-star warrior. Since Tang Zheng can do this, everyone thinks he is very powerful.
But who would have thought that he would have the leisure time to tell stories on the stage?
Was this just a response to Zhang Yang's dirty talk? Or was it Tang Zheng's overly arrogant provocation?
"Isn't Tang Zheng a little too arrogant? Facing a three-star warrior, it is indeed commendable that he can hold on until now. But if he underestimates the enemy because of this, he may suffer a great loss in the end! " A warrior who looked mature and steady frowned slightly when he heard Tang Zheng's words.
"No, you see, the battle situation on the ring now seems to have tilted towards Tang Zheng..." another warrior with good eyesight suddenly said.
After this warrior's reminder, many spectators suddenly discovered that the situation on the ring seemed to have really changed quietly.
Many viewers were originally worried about the fact that Tang Zheng was always being suppressed by Zhang Yang.
Unexpectedly, in this star fight, just when Tang Zheng proposed to tell a story, the style suddenly changed. His speed suddenly increased by about twice as much as before. Tang Zheng, who had been struggling in a precarious situation, suddenly became extremely relaxed under Zhang Yang's attack.
"What's going on... Tang Zheng was having a hard time fighting just now, but after fighting for such a long time, his speed has increased instead of decreased!"
"Either Zhang Yang's attack was too fierce, and he was unable to continue, causing his martial arts skills and movement speed to drop significantly, so it was easier for Tang Zheng to dodge. Or Tang Zheng was actually hiding his skills just now, hiding his physical skills..."
"No, I think it's both!"
…
The fight had come to this point, and because of Tang Zheng's words and the changed situation, the audience below the stage started a heated discussion again.
"The story I want to tell is about frogs..." Tang Zheng stood at the edge of the ring with a smile, gently waving his folding fan. He just caught Zhang Yang unleashing a round of martial arts, which he dodged easily. He took advantage of the opportunity that Zhang Yang could not launch another fierce attack in a short period of time and spoke.
Frogs? Those little green animals that feed on mosquitoes and flies?
The audience below the ring suddenly quieted down when they heard Tang Zheng's words, and some of them showed a hint of curiosity on their faces.
No one has ever heard of the fables or stories about small animals like frogs...
“Haha, the teacher is suffering from his occupational disease again. He wants to teach through entertainment again. However, Zhang Yang, who is being taught a lesson this time, probably won’t find it fun to watch…” Tang Xiaotang, who was sitting in the ring, burst into laughter as soon as she heard Tang Zheng’s tone.
She couldn't help but recall the first time Tang Zheng stood on the podium of the Tangjiabao Clan Middle School and told them stories. She still remembers it vividly.
"In my hometown, there was once a very annoying scholar who did a very interesting experiment."
"What is this experiment? He caught a group of frogs and threw them directly into boiling water. Then guess what happened?" Tang Zheng asked with a smile as he continued to easily dodge Zhang Yang's knife that was slashing towards him.
"Burn to death?"
"Escaped?"
"No, no, no, boiling water will definitely kill the frog..."
…
The audience couldn't help but talk about this strange and unique experiment when they heard about it.
Everyone guessed the results of the experiment based on their own impression of frogs, which are very common creatures.
For a time, there were many different opinions and no one could convince anyone else.
At this time, Tang Zheng spoke again: "Haha, when the frog was thrown into the boiling water, it did not die. Instead, it could not stand the sudden high temperature stimulation and immediately jumped out of the boiling water with all its strength, and finally escaped successfully!"
Tang Zheng's answer made those viewers who thought far-sighted and thoughtful. Those who guessed wrong also thought about it. Even those who thought the answer was unlikely no longer objected.
After all, no one has ever tried this experiment. But from Tang Zheng's tone, no matter what the starting point of the scholar from his hometown was in doing this experiment, or how he came up with the idea, it cannot change the fact that he has actually done the experiment.
Facts always speak louder than words, so the correct answer, of course, is that Tang Zheng has the final say.
"However, the scholar did not stop there. Not long after, he conducted another experiment on frogs!" Tang Zheng continued.
"Master, the scholars from your hometown have such a deep hatred for frogs..." Tang Xiaotang couldn't help but laugh and complain when she heard this.
The other audience members were still very interested, and their attention even exceeded that of the star fight itself.
Zhang Yang, who was still panting, running back and forth on the ring, madly and in vain, chasing Tang Zheng in an attempt to kill him, had completely become a moving background board for Tang Zheng's storytelling.
"What was the second experiment? The scholar took the same batch of healthy frogs again. This time, instead of throwing them into boiling water, he put them into a container of cold water and then slowly heated it. Guess what the result was this time?"
Faced with the question raised by Tang Zheng again, the audience fell into discussion again, but this time, no one firmly insisted on their own theory. Instead, they all turned their eyes to Tang Zheng, looking forward to his answer.
"Yes, I'm sure everyone has guessed it. This time, the frog was actually enjoying itself in the water because the water temperature was comfortable at the beginning. When the frog found that it couldn't stand the high temperature, it was already unable to do so and was boiled to death in the hot water without knowing it!"
"Ahem... this story is called boiling a frog in warm water!" After Tang Zheng finished talking about this extremely simple experiment, he gave a final summary. However, when he said the last sentence, his eyes were fixed on Zhang Yang, who was already exhausted and gasping for breath, bending over opposite Tang Zheng, brewing his next attack.
The audience in the audience looked at Tang Zheng's expression and suddenly understood.
"Hahaha, it turns out that Zhang Yang is the frog that was boiled to death in warm water!" An outspoken audience member in the audience suddenly shouted with laughter when he recalled the entire process of the star-studded fight.
