Chapter 606: Chapter 598 Unprecedented Failure_2
"Then I can only say that your experience is too shallow, there are skies beyond skies, and people beyond people," Li Feng said.
Tangyu’s brows also deeply furrowed. Although Li Feng hadn’t spelled it out, Tangyu had already figured it out. It seemed there were many people in the world who had reached his own level. Tangyu had heard his master talk about the Ancient Martial Arts Families, but these families generally kept hidden from the world, some living in remote mountains and forests, others hidden within urban cities. However, those hidden in cities kept a very low profile, just like Li Feng, who, despite being in Donglin City, had remained unnoticed. Only the major powers knew that the Li Family was not simple. Tangyu was certain now that the Li Family was an Ancient Martial Arts Family. These families were very powerful, and of course, Ancient Martial Arts Families typically did not involve themselves in worldly affairs.
This was something Tangyu had wondered about before and had asked his master, but his master didn’t say much.
"Alright, my experience is indeed shallow. I have been in seclusion until these past two months when I started to see a bit of the world. Li Feng, if I want to take a look at your Jade Plate, I wonder if you would be willing?" Tangyu said.
"What do you think?" Li Feng looked at Tangyu, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a strange, inscrutable smile.
"Alright, I understand. Then I won’t disturb you any further. I will take my leave. I mean no harm, and I believe you should be aware of my identity. Even if we cannot be friends, I don’t think we should be enemies," Tangyu said.
Li Feng laughed and said, "The last disciple of the Ghost Doctor. The Ghost Doctor is also considered a strong figure in his own right. I just don’t know how much of his true teachings his last disciple has received."
Tangyu stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Li Feng: "What, do you want to have a bout with me?"
Li Feng shook his head: "No, I’m just offering you a chance to take a look at my Jade Plate."
A surge of elation welled up inside Tangyu: "So, you mean to say that if I beat you, you’ll lend me the Jade Plate?"
"That’s correct, just as long as you can beat me," Li Feng said.
Tangyu’s lips curved into a wicked smile. He might not be confident in many things, but fighting was something he had never lost at: "Fine, then you pick a place."
"No need to look for one, right here will do," Li Feng said.
Tangyu was momentarily taken aback, then glanced around and said, "Right here? Are you serious? Isn’t this space inside the car a bit too cramped? How can we possibly spar properly if we can’t even fully extend our arms and legs?"
Li Feng looked at Tangyu with a faint smile and said, "What, you think this place is too small? I think it’s quite big enough, I can still move my hands freely. Didn’t you just say we are not ordinary people? Then why should this limitation be considered anything to us? If we have to find an open space to spar like ordinary people, what would be the difference between us and them?"
Tangyu nodded, Li Feng’s words had indeed resonated with him. Not having experienced the world meant just that. It seemed his own thoughts and perspectives had much too limited. In the future, he really needed to broaden his horizons.
"Fine, then how shall we spar?" Tangyu agreed readily.
Li Feng took out a coin and placed it in the palm of his hand, then extended it in front of Tangyu and said, "It’s quite simple, if you can snatch this coin from my hand, you win. You have three minutes, how about it?"
"Sure," after thinking it over, Tangyu agreed.
However, Li Feng didn’t show much caution, instead, he spoke with a casual and relaxed demeanor: "Alright, you can begin."
Seeing how relaxed Li Feng still appeared, Tangyu’s brows furrowed, and his eyes narrowed. Such ease and calm were not feigned, but a reflection of Li Feng’s confidence. Knowing that he was the last disciple of the Ghost Doctor and still daring to look down on him must mean he had some reliance. Tangyu too became more solemn. Three minutes to snatch the coin from Li Feng’s hand.
"Whoosh!"
Tangyu suddenly moved, his hand striking out like a flash of lightning, as if a snake were darting its tongue, he reached for Li Feng’s palm. But the grasp quickly came up empty, "Such incredible speed, even I couldn’t see it clearly. A reaction speed that’s completely out of my league," Tangyu couldn’t help but feel a surge of surprise in his heart.
Li Feng’s strength was formidable, perhaps a bit more than he had anticipated, and it made Tangyu brace himself more seriously. He hadn’t suffered a defeat in years and he certainly didn’t want to capsize here.
Tangyu attacked again, and this time Li Feng couldn’t dodge and had to counter-attack. Their palms collided fiercely in midair, emitting a series of clashing sounds, snap, snap, snap, causing the car to shake violently. If one were to observe from the outside, the car seemed as if it was partaking in a vehicular version of trembling. Such a spectacle inevitably drew the attention of many passersby; some even recorded it with their mobile phones, probably hitting the internet with headlines like brazen daylight vehicular shaking under broad daylight.
Both men were incredibly fast, and time also passed swiftly; two minutes quickly elapsed, during which they exchanged countless bouts. Tangyu was clearly at a disadvantage, having failed to gain the upper hand in two minutes, and, on the contrary, had taken a few minor losses. Although they were not serious, in a true battlefield, these minor setbacks could have resulted in serious injuries for Tangyu.
"You’ve got one minute left," Li Feng said with a light chuckle, a look of calm and ease still on his face as if he was merely playing house with Tangyu, not focusing too much effort on it.
This was undoubtedly another blow to Tangyu. It implied that Li Feng might not have been using his full strength. If that was the case, Tangyu truly felt like spitting blood.
Time waits for no man; at this rate, a crushing defeat was certain.
Tangyu’s eyes sharpened, Pure Yang Qi surged out of him, and his hand morphed into a finger, his fingertip emitting a faint light nearly invisible to the naked eye. He pointed it towards Li Feng; he had to resort to his killer move now.
"Oh, it’s finally getting interesting," Li Feng’s eyes flickered with a slight movement, paying a bit more attention now.
Tangyu’s finger touched Li Feng, and a burst of Pure Yang Power shot into him. However, a strange smirk appeared on Li Feng’s face. Tangyu froze, looked at Li Feng, and exclaimed, "Acupoint Shifting! You—you can actually do it, making it impossible for me to block your acupoints."
"Not bad, recognizing Acupoint Shifting. Even though you haven’t received much of the Ghost Doctor’s true transmission, you’re still quite good. Even among what you call our kind of people, you’re not weak. Of course, you’re still young, with plenty of room for improvement," Li Feng said.
"Young?" Tangyu shook his head, "I’m almost twenty-five, and you’re calling me young?"
"Yes, you are young. I am already thirty-five, almost thirty-six," Li Feng replied, his words carrying a hint of envy. Everyone has been young, no one wants to grow old, all longing for youth.
"Uh—" Tangyu was stunned, sizing up Li Feng, "Thirty-five, I couldn’t tell at all. I thought you were around my age. If you put it that way, I do feel a lot more comfortable, it gives me some sense of balance. But a loss is a loss, I have nothing to say, I’m clearly not your match. This is also the first defeat of my life. Of course, I haven’t seriously sparred with any true masters, I do feel somewhat like a frog in a well."
This was indeed an unprecedented defeat for Tangyu.
Of course, this failure deeply wounded Tangyu’s pride. He wasn’t strong enough, far from it, even somewhat weak. The bit of arrogance he had was crushed and dissipated by Li Feng.
He needed to become stronger, he would strive harder. frёewebηovel.cѳm
"Li Feng, even though I lost to you this time. But as you said, I’m still young, I have a lot of room for improvement. I believe, I will defeat you soon. The next time I come to borrow your Jade Plate, I will surely defeat you," Tangyu declared.
The corners of Li Feng’s mouth lifted slightly, "Oh, really? That’s something I look forward to. Fine, I’ll wait for you. When you have the strength, come and borrow my Jade Plate. As we say, martial prowess is the highest respect among our kind. If you can’t earn my respect, naturally, you won’t be able to borrow anything from me."
"You’re right, anything worth having must be earned through one’s own strength. I’ll remember your words. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I must be going," Tangyu said and then opened the door and got out of the car.
