Chapter 836: A New Day Of Nangong Chong
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Sunshine flooded into the room through gaps of curtains and shone into a brilliant ss.
Nangong Chong mumbled in his sleep. He pulled the quilt over his head and turned his back to the sunshine, determined to spend another period of cozy ti in bed.
Ding! A sharp sound suddenly rang out. Nangong Chong sat up impatiently. The alarm manager was hopping at the other side of the room as if afraid to be forced to shut down.
Nangong Chong shook his head with sleepy eyes. He sat for a few minutes dully before finally getting up to walk to the bathroom.
After washing his face with cold water, he felt he was fully awake. At the sa ti, different kinds of emotions — sadness, grieving, together with rejoicing and liberation filled his heart.
What made him sad was the death of his dear uncle Wu Youming. He could not tell other relatives about this yet and must wait for the arrangents of the governnt. He grieved that he lived in fear, amazent, and shock, for the past two days. The helplessness had made him gradually beco numb. On the other hand, he felt relieved that last night was just a bad dream and the Guru of the Sect of the Ether did not send others traveling through ti.
This case should have been closed, right? A new day, a new start!
Nangong Chong looked at himself in the mirror. His eyelids were slightly swelling. He clenched his fists to encourage himself and keep up his spirits. Today is the day to make his thesis defense of one subject so he must go to school. What’s more, he can see her there.
At this mont, he saw himself raising the corner of his mouth to form a aningful smile.
He knew that smile so well that he blurted out,
“Sir!”
Every ti he saw that smile, nothing good would happen. Today was especially peculiar — the smile appeared on his own face!
ng Qi’s voice resounded in his head, “Friend Nangong, I am back again.”
Welco back... Nangong Chong’ s expression was sluggish. He felt he was too young and too naïve to believe that this case had been closed. He asked numbly, “What is it this ti, sir?”
“You do as you like. I will tell you what to do when I’m finished thinking,” ng Qi said carelessly and started to do complicated yet fundantal deductions.
The corner of Nangong Chong’s mouth twitched and his teeth clenched. But he did not dare to offend ng Qi so he bitterly brushed and changed.
Actually, after what he had been through last night, he was now quite insensitive to all of these with no more anger and sha.
A few monts later, Nangong Chong was out of his ho and drove his sky car to campus. As soon as he parked his car, a close acquaintance in the sa class, Xu Fang, ca up to him.
Xu Fang looked around and quickly approached Nangong Chong, dragging him to a corner with a mysterious expression.
He lowered his voice as if afraid to be heard by others, “Nangong, do you believe the video of the Guru of the Sect of Ether is true?”
“Yeah...” Nangong Chong was in a daze for a while and answered in an implicitly painful tone — the man’s spirit is in my body right now!
Xu Fang imdiately bead, “Good brother! You are truly my good brother! I knew you would believe it! We are both clever and keen, unlike those foolish people that are easy to be cheated.”
His voice was even lower, “To tell you the truth, I was right behind that building yesterday and saw the Guru of the Sect of Ether striking it down using a single punch with my own eyes! I recorded a video. It is a pity that so many mindless people believe it’s a vicious advertisent.”
He sighed deeply as if he was among the few that had grasped the truth.
Nangong Chong was not in the mood to discuss this with others at all. He made up an excuse and left to go to the nearby teaching building.
Just as he walked to a secluded corner, several n suddenly appeared and surrounded him. It was obvious they had planned to do so.
The man at the lead was a tall and handso young man about the sa age as Nangong Chong, but he was way more outstanding than Nangong Chong on the outside.
“Zou Rong!” Nangong Chong blurted out. His voice was tensed up. His body and eyes gave off a feeling of fear.
He had once offended this rich and powerful guy due to so incidents but he had been careful not to give him chances for revenge. Yet today he was too careless and now he got caught!
Zou Rong smirked, “Nangong, you choose to go down on your knees now or we hit you to your knees.”
He spoke in a triumphant tone.
Nangong Chong looked them up and down. All of them were slender, strong, and well-featured. Each of them was much tougher and more handso than a hobody like himself.
In the world nowadays, highly developed technology allowed gene adjustnt of germ cells to be extensively used. Any rich family can let their offspring to have pretty good appearance and body. However, Nangong Chong’s uncle joined the Canopy Ga Company when he was already several years old and his parents were both ordinary workers. Thus he did not have the chance to experience gene adjustnt. When he faced people like Zou Rong, he could not help feeling self-abasent and afraid.
“Fighting on campus would get you expelled!” Nangong Chong forgot about anything else and tried to scare them off.
Zou Rong laughed, “Unfortunately, the monitoring device here is broken. How could you bla us for tripping yourself over?”
He blinked in a vicious and playful manner.
Then he imdiately changed face and cried,
“Hit him! Give him a good beat!”
Seeing Zou Rong’s fist punching straight towards his face, Nangong Chong just wanted to crouch, protect his head, and let them beat him. After all, he was no match for any of them. It would be better to give up revolting to avoid stimulating their ferociousness.
At that mont, he felt he lost control of his body. Instead of crouching down, he made a sidelong punch with his right hand in a clever angle and perfect timing that smartly shoved aside Zou Rong’s violent punch.
However, other people started their attack aid at the back and two sides of Nangong Chong at the sa ti.
Nangong Chong was afraid, but he saw himself rushing into Zou Rong with a bounce of two legs and narrowly avoided the attack from other people.
At the sa ti, he stretched out his hands and locked the forearm of Zou Rong tactfully. After jumping and rotating, Nangong managed to get Zou Rong in front of him like a shield.
Bang! The second round of attack from the other people all hit Zou Rong and made him shriek in pain.
Nangong Chong raised his right foot and quickly kicked three tis, each hit a different enemy’s shin and sent them crouching down in pain.
After that, Nangong Chong saw himself move like floating cloud and flowing water, beating down his five enemies with power that was no match for Zou Rong’s. His enemies whined and rolled on the ground, unable to get up. Yet there were no visible injuries on them.
“You are welcod to get your revenge at any ti,” Nangong Chong curled his right index finger and left through the building with a swift turn.
The real Nangong Chong was dumbstruck. He could only feel that the fighting had an amazing sense of rhythm. Though it was violent, it was more beautiful than a dance and it had the amazing power to fight five people single-handedly. Under the enormous gap between body size and strength, enemies were defeated in a few breaths.
Was this kung fu?
Was this the power of martial arts?
Nangong Chong breathed heavily. He rembered the arts the Guru of the Sect of Ether taught him yesterday. Excitent started to boil in his heart and a strong urge to practice martial arts grew out.
Before, this kind of urge was never as strong as it was now.
Whether seeing the Guru of the Sect of Ether’s magnificent power to reverse through and condense current or seeing him fight the Female Monarch fiercely and punch down a building with a single blow, all these things were just too far away from him that made him felt unrealistic. Though he longed and yearned for that power, he was not motivated enough. Just like the charm and might of science that let him dream of becoming a scientist in his childhood. He gradually forgot this dream because scientists were too far away from ordinary people.
But now, those who often bullied him like Zou Rong were no match under this martial art. It was sothing he had just seen and did. It was so close to life that he could not help yearning to learn the martial arts.
Under the restriction of a heavy weapon, those who knew martial arts were just valiant!
“Sir, it was you who had helped just now?” he asked respectfully in a low voice.
“If you help do things well, I will surely point you in the right way,” ng Qi said smilingly.
How could an insensitive mount that bears grudge be better than an initiative and enthusiastic assistant?
So, when he found out that Zou Rong planned to teach Nangong Chong a lesson, he led Nangong Chong into their trap on purpose in order to motivate him in learning martial arts.
As a qualified old man, he would create a chance even if there was no chance!
Nangong Chong was delighted. All his numbness and impatience disappeared at once, “I will do as you told, sir!”
“You just mind your own business for now,” ng Qi was still deducting.
As he reached the classroom door, Nangong Chong stopped in midway before he entered and looked at a graceful girl with long hair from a distance. She had a beautiful face with delicate features and she was like a pure and fresh water lily in her long light muslin dress.
“So this is the girl you like?” ng Qi’s voice suddenly ca out as Nangong Chong was hesitating to approach with an uncertain expression.
“No...” Nangong Chong unconsciously denied, but he then rembered how powerful the guru was and answered in a small voice, “I like her quite much and confessed to her once, but I was turned down. Afterwards I got into trouble with Zou Rong and was afraid to get near her even more.”
ng Qi smiled, “Confess? Were you two good friends?”
“No, we were just ordinary classmates who seldom spoke with each other,” Nangong Chong was not sure about the reason why he asked him this question.
“Now imagine, a person who was almost a stranger to you and had nothing charming in his looks and grace suddenly cos up to pick your nose. How would you feel?” ng Qi asked with a smile.
“This guy must be insane!” Nangong Chong answered without hesitation.
ng Qi said, “That is right. Emotions are even more private and important than picking noses. You have not even talked much with her. Your confession would only scare her off. The best way is to create opportunities to get to know her more and spend more ti with her.”
Nangong Chong was stunned to hear this, “Sir, I have never thought that you were so experienced that you could even advise in dating...”
That was a sad story... the theoretical expert ng Qi answered without hesitation, “Sure.”
When you have morized three hundred poems from the Tang Dynasty, you could recite poems even if you could not write poems. I am a versatile old man!
Just as Nangong Chong wanted to ask more on this matter, ng Qi suddenly said, “There is no need to give you advice. Du Qingqing is cultivating with all her might and she may have the chance to enter our world in the future.”
Ah... Nangong Chong opened his mouth wide and thoughts like a ghost and a human in love and an evil ghost kills her husband popped out from his head, circulating and arguing with each other.
Three hours later, Nangong Chong finished his thesis defense. Before he could make up his mind, he heard the old man saying,
“Go to the place where the monitoring device was broken and make a call.”
The place where the monitoring device was broken? Nangong Chong was confused for a few seconds, but he quickly figured it out and hurried towards the secluded corner where he had given Zou Rong and his fellow students a good beating and found a public telephone.
“Call Dong Yuan of the Mystic News Corporation,” ng Qi had finished his deduction of the first part and needed more information.
....
Dong Yuan was sitting on the couch with a glass of wine in his hand, enjoying his scarce quality ti.
At this mont, the video telephone rang and disturbed his good mood.
“Hello? Who is it?” Dong Yuan picked up the phone and saw a blurred picture as if soone blocked the cara from the other side.
“I am the Guru of the Sect of Ether,” a cool and familiar voice ca into Dong Yuan’s ears. His pupils imdiately shrank and beca tense. This monster was still here and showed up again?
Dong Yuan took a deep breath and said, “Well, what can I do for you, sir?”
“I need information about the governnt’s investigation. I will exchange it for other clues,” the calm voice said.
Dong Yuan looked around him and made sure his office was under protection of military force. With the various types of monitoring devices and shields against spirit-control, he was not afraid to be attacked by the Guru of the Sect of Ether. He finally relaxed a little bit and answered more firmly, “I am afraid it is impossible. This is top secret in this nation.”
But we could make a deal, based on what clues you can offer.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a stream of electric current flash across the screen of his video telephone and a hand stretched out from it, forming a figure in green robes. It was the Guru of the Sect of Ether!
“S...sir...” Dong Yuan stuttered with his eyes wide open.
All the defenses seed to be aningless...
ng Qi smiled, “Since you want to make a deal, let us have a good talk.”
....
In the ghost village, the guru of the Taoist Master’s mansion checked the crack and found no problem so he decided to take Qin Shuanglian and the others back.
In the back room of the palace, the Taoist Master was asking about the details of their trip.
The guru recalled, “The ghost village was still as gloomy as ever...”
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly fell down with clenched teeth. All signs of life quickly drained from him and even the Taoist Master was unable to save him.
Qin Shuanglian and the other watched in despair as the Taoist Master took off the clothes on this guru’s back and saw a bloody character of “Kill”!
