Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 87 Let’s sign a life and death agreement first
If Tang Zheng was present at the scene and heard Ouyang Luoluo's reasoning, he would definitely laugh three times, and then tell Ouyang Luoluo that it would be a waste for her not to become a romance novelist.
But for Li Xiaoren, Ouyang Luoluo's investigation conclusion, which was completely far from the truth, sounded detailed, logical, and well-founded, and there was really no room for rebuttal.
In fact, through understanding Tang Zheng's fighting style over the past two days, Li Xiaoren had already had doubts in this regard.
Apart from Kageyama, it is really hard to imagine any force that can cultivate a warrior in his twenties to have such rich combat experience and a sinister, yet extremely practical fighting style.
Even for Yingshan, Li Xiaoren believed that only a very small number of direct descendants and elites could reach such a level at Tang Zheng's age, otherwise, Yingshan's true strength would be too terrifying .
Moreover, Tang Zheng casually took out Yingshan's unique martial arts book on Blood Shadow Escape and a rare martial arts book on Cloud Step. Looking back now, Li Xiaoren felt that Tang Zheng's ignorance of the origin of Blood Shadow Escape was probably a disguise to cover up his true origins!
"Well, now everything fits in!" Li Xiaoren has completely agreed in his heart with Ouyang Luoluo's statement. Tang Zheng is Yingshan's direct descendant.
"If Tang Zheng is Yingshan's direct descendant, it makes sense that he acted so relaxed when faced with the terrifying murderous attack from the powerful demon clan on the day of the inscription ceremony." Li Xiaoren nodded. Ouyang Luoluo's investigation results solved the biggest doubt in his mind about Tang Zheng, and his expression finally eased.
"Okay, let's stop here. Although Tang Zheng is from Yingshan, it doesn't matter to our academy. Both the headmaster and the first deacon have said that unless they are from the demon tribe or the demon tribe's spies, our academy will not exclude any students. You haven't forgotten this, right?"
Ouyang Luoluo was a little worried that Li Xiaoren would target Tang Zheng after knowing his true identity, so she couldn't help but remind him.
Li Xiaoren shook his head and said, "I am an instructor. As long as they are not colluding with the demon tribe, I will treat all students equally regardless of their identities. However, just because we don't care doesn't mean others don't care. Other students don't care. I think you are also very clear about Yingshan's reputation ."
Ouyang Luoluo heard what Li Xiaoren said and thought he was still adamant and insisted on expelling Tang Zheng from the academy. She couldn't help but raised her eyebrows and said, "What do you mean? Even if Yingshan makes a living by doing business with no capital, even if his reputation is not good, don't forget that over the years, they have never been soft-hearted in slaughtering the monsters. They are definitely one of the indispensable pillars in the fight between our human race and the monsters! I absolutely do not agree to expel Tang Zheng, don't even think about it!"
Li Xiaoren ignored Ouyang Luoluo's anger and said calmly, "You misunderstood. What I meant was that the fact that Tang Zheng came from Yingshan must be kept highly confidential. In our academy, I'm afraid there are many students and even teachers whose relatives and friends died from Yingshan's assassination. If the fact that Tang Zheng came from Yingshan is exposed, there will definitely be a lot of trouble that we can't imagine."
After Li Xiaoren reminded him, Ouyang Luoluo frowned and said, "Oh no! I only noticed that Tang Zheng's identity would not harm the academy and the human race, but I didn't expect that Yingshan's identity would have such a big impact on many ordinary students and teachers. No, we must find a way to solve this problem!"
"How many people know Tang Zheng's true identity now?" Li Xiaoren asked.
"You, me, the first deacon, and when I reported to the first deacon, there were two teachers and an instructor present." Ouyang Luoluo answered quickly.
"It's never too late to mend. You go and tell the two teachers who were present at the time, and I'll go and tell the instructor. Also, it's best to keep a close eye on Tang Zheng's safety in the next few days to prevent any accidents from happening." Li Xiaoren said.
"Okay, let's do it!" Ouyang Luoluo nodded heavily.
…
Tang Zheng had no idea that he had been mistaken for one of Yingshan's direct descendants. In his mind, he was only thinking about one thing, that is, how to quickly practice the Cloud Step to the point where he could be used in actual combat within ten days.
If he could do that, he would be in a much more proactive position when facing Leng Zhan's challenge in ten days. Otherwise, facing Leng Zhan, a real fighting genius who had been practicing martial arts since he was born, his chances of winning would not be high.
Fortunately, Li Xiaoren's judgment was correct . After resting for an afternoon and a night, Tang Zheng's leg injury had almost healed. He circulated his star power a little and found that there was no hidden injury in his star veins.
The next day, after getting up early, running and jumping, and doing some warm-up exercises, Tang Zheng was sure that he could start practicing the Cloud-Stepping Steps again today.
"Today, I will arrange some training tasks for you, and then you can practice on your own. If you encounter any problems, you can ask me tomorrow. Tang Zheng, come here." Li Xiaoren arranged self-study content for Tang Xiaotang and the other three in the morning, and called Tang Zheng over.
Tang Zheng thought that Li Xiaoren called him over to give him special training in the Cloud-Stepping Step, so he walked over with a smile on his face. Just as he was about to say something, Li Xiaoren suddenly punched him without any warning.
Fortunately, Tang Zheng's reflexes, which had been trained in his previous life, were not to be outdone. He immediately jumped back to avoid the inexplicable punch. However, Li Xiaoren, perhaps because he had wet the bed last night or something else, was in a particularly bad mood early in the morning, and he continued to chase and hit him relentlessly.
Although Tang Zheng's eyesight and reaction nerves could keep up with Li Xiaoren's attack speed, but there was no way that a two-star warrior could face a four-star warrior. The gap in physical fitness was too great, and his body could not keep up. He was about to be beaten black and blue by Li Xiaoren again.
Seeing Li Xiaoren's casserole-pot-sized fist getting closer and closer, Tang Zheng subconsciously used the Cloud Step, "engine started", jumped to the side, and at the last moment, he dodged Li Xiaoren's punch, but the strong wind from the fist still hit his fragile nose, and two lines of blood immediately flowed down.
"Instructor Li, the breakfast you had this morning was full of gunpowder. You must be really irritable!" Tang Zheng wiped the blood from his nose and said a little depressed.
Li Xiaoren finally stopped chasing, put his hands behind his back, and said sternly: "As a warrior, you must be on guard at all times. Otherwise, when you are out in the martial arts world, will others let you know before they attack you? Didn't your elders teach you this?"
Tang Zheng curled his lips and said nothing. He couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Damn, you are so right. Next time when you squat in the toilet, if I don't light a string of 10,000-shot earth cannons, I will really let down your teachings, instructor!"
Li Xiaoren certainly didn't know the evil plan that Tang Zheng was thinking of in his mind, but he frowned and continued, "I learned the Cloud Step yesterday, but I didn't know how to use it until someone hit me in front of me. Moreover, the activation time is too long, the dodge efficiency is too low, and the movement distance is too short. It is far from being able to be used in actual combat. Do you want to improve the effect of practicing the Cloud Step as soon as possible?"
Tang Zheng was cursing Li Xiaoren in his heart, but when he heard this, he immediately became excited, his eyes widened, and he nodded eagerly, "Instructor, you are so considerate. Of course I want to practice Cloud Step as soon as possible, and I really want to do it!"
Li Xiaoren nodded: "Very good, I have a method, but you have to sign a life and death agreement first. After you start practicing, you are responsible for your own life and death. Only then can I teach you!"
