Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1266: Really unscathed in every battle

In the lakeside verandah of the Confucian Little Sage Village, Yan Lu, the second head of the house, stands leaning on a pillar, with his hands behind his back, as if he is admiring the scenery of lotuses on the water.

At the other end of the corridor, Zhang Liang walked over slowly with a smile on his face.

Yan Lu glanced at him sideways and did not speak in a hurry. He waited until Zhang Liangshi came to stand beside him and then said:

"I haven't seen you all day today, so what have you been busy with?"

Zhang Liang twisted his face and smiled, and asked, "Senior brother, I never cared about these things in the past, but today it is strange."

Yan Lu listened to his junior brother's meaningful words, but he was not interested in fighting with him and said bluntly:

"Zifang, what on earth are you doing?"

"Senior brother, you want to know?" Zhang Liang didn't answer in a hurry. He lowered his head and looked at the clear water in the pool, his eyes making it difficult to see clearly.

Yan Lu stretched out his hands, supported himself on the corridor railing, and sighed softly, "To be honest, I don't want to know."

"Then why, senior brother..."

"I know you very well." Yan Lu said with a helpless smile, "With your ability, you want to do everything perfectly and hide it from everyone... at least hiding it for a long time is definitely not a problem, but you just You have exposed so many problems to me, and you clearly want me to come to you because of this."

"When I look for you, your wish will come true."

"So I actually prefer to turn a deaf ear and treat it as if any abnormality does not exist."

The smile at the corner of Zhang Liang's mouth became shallow, and his face was illuminated by the sunlight from the side, half reflected in the light and half hidden in the darkness, "But senior brother, you can't turn a deaf ear."

"Yes!" Yan Lu leaned on the fence and sighed softly, but in the blink of an eye he returned to his usual calm demeanor, "There are always some things that I have to care about."

"So I chose to stand here and wait for your answer."

"...In that case, senior brother, would you like to follow me outside the city?" Zhang Liang raised his head and showed a bright smile.

Yan Lu looked at the sun that was gradually setting in the sky and reminded, "Now? It's getting late."

"Ha!" Zhang Liang smiled warmly, "Now that the days are long and the nights are short, there is still time."

When Yan Lu heard this, he no longer shied away, "Let's go. The sooner I know, the sooner I can let go of my worries."

Although it may not be a good thing after letting it go...

………………

"So what did I do?" Tianming looked at Cook Ding depressed and anxiously, hoping that he would clear up his doubts.

In fact, after the beating happened yesterday, the reason why he had been panicking was not only because he was worried about the punishment from Fu Nian, but also because he was confused.

As a young man with dreams, his lifelong pursuit is to become a strong martial arts hero who can defeat the strong and help the weak. Naturally, he would be happy to be able to help the weak like he did yesterday.

But the premise is that he at least knows how to save people!

After being surrounded by a group of people yesterday, he was extremely nervous. He felt that his whole brain was completely empty and he had no idea what was going on. In fact, he would not be nervous if he was beaten, especially those few yesterday. It's not like the opponents have never been beaten by them, but the situation is different. It's a bit too shameful for a competitive young man to stand up for others and get beaten violently.

This inexplicable victory achieved under complete confusion did not bring Tianming much pleasure of justice. He was more confused and panicked, not knowing what strange changes had happened to him - especially in his body. There does seem to be something odd about the body.

Shi Lan, the cook who had previously said to take action, although this made Tian Ming very disappointed, it also made him feel relieved.

If you don't have any extra superpowers, then there won't be many. At least you can ensure that you are still a normal person.

As a result, Cook Ding changed his subject and said that he still had problems.

The torturous feeling of repeated horizontal jumps made Tianming feel very bad, and his tone and attitude also deteriorated a lot.

For an immature boy like Tian Ming, Cook Ding surprisingly understood his thoughts very well. He didn't care about his bad attitude and patted him on the shoulder generously:

"I see."

"Before, you must have thought that there was something wrong with your body and that you had special magical abilities inexplicably. This might be a bad thing or a good thing, so you were worried and secretly happy at the same time."

"It turns out that you don't have any special abilities. The one who does have the abilities is actually Shi Lan, who seems to have been saved by you. Maybe I'm relieved of my worries, but I'm definitely still feeling disappointed..."

It can be seen that as a person who runs an inn all year round and greets guests, Cook Ding has a very precise control over people's minds, but he does not seem to know that he needs to be gentler in his treatment of young people.

Tian Ming, who had all his thoughts shaken away from the little boy, immediately dropped his face, pursed his lips and stared at Cook Ding expressionlessly. When he was about to continue speaking, he finally couldn't help but interrupt:

"I'm not! I didn't! Stop talking nonsense!"

After three consecutive denials, people knew that this guy was in a hurry, not to mention his red face.

But Cook Ding said again seriously, "No, you do!"

"No!" Tianming's eyes widened, deceiving others as well as himself.

"You have!"

"no!"

"You have!"

"no!"

……

……

After repeating the mechanical quarrels between children several times, Cook Ding couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this giant of his own is really stupid but hard-spoken.

Even now I still can’t tell that when I say ‘yes’, doesn’t it refer to the little ninety-nine in his heart! ?
  In desperation, Cook Ding had to say clearly, "I mean, you have your own special ability!"

"No...no...no..."

Tianming didn't react at all when he heard this. He shook his head like a rattle and kept shouting with his eyes closed.

Cook Ding folded his arms and looked at him like a fool, deceiving himself and others. It took a while before Tianming realized what he was doing.

What did he say just now?
  It doesn’t seem like it’s my own little thought?

When he completely remembered what Chef Ding said, the first thing that came to his mind was ecstasy. The corners of his mouth unconsciously opened to both sides, but he kept his dignity and refused to show it. He tried his best to suppress this joy. meaning.

Of course, one can imagine how many inches long a mindless young man has in his palace. In the end, he will look like a rat who has managed to steal some oil - in addition to being wretched, he is still wretched.

Tianming suppressed his excitement and tried to keep his tone steady as he asked, "Um...is what you said true?"

"Of course!" Chef Ding laughed, but did not continue to tease his boss.

This silly boy only listens to the meaning of his words, and it is more troublesome than others to make jokes.

"So..." Tian Ming got a definite answer, and the corners of his mouth were completely pursed, "That's why you said I also took action?" There was an inexplicable power in him. Tian Ming didn't have the ability to determine whether this was a good thing, but it didn't matter if he didn't. , someone else has it!
  He is a giant of the Mohist family. If something big goes wrong with him, how can Chef Ding be so relaxed and comfortable right now?

In other words, this hero will soon become a veritable martial arts master! ?
  Thinking of this, Tianming's giggle became more obvious, and he even got distracted and didn't care what Cook Ding said.

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

"Come back to your senses!" Cook Ding called him several times before finally calling the man's soul back.

"Ah? Ah!" Tianming responded blankly, "What's wrong?"

When Cook Ding saw this, he said angrily, "I just said one thing and you almost floated into the sky..."

"Hey hehe..." Tianming scratched his head in embarrassment, and then immediately asked shamelessly, "So do you know what my special ability is?"

"Haha..." Chef Ding glanced sideways at him, sneered and stretched out two fingers, "You have two special abilities."

"There are two more!" Tianming was even more overjoyed when he heard this, and urged, "Hurry up and tell me!"

"First, I think you should know it yourself." Cook Ding replied calmly, "That is, you are very resistant to beatings! Very, extremely, especially resistant to beatings!"

In the past half month, Cook Ding either directly witnessed or listened to Tao Zhi narrate the scene of Tianming being beaten many times, and discovered an astonishing fact from it - Tianming was very resistant to beatings!
  Although Confucian disciples will not use deadly strikes in competitions, they only need to use non-lethal weapons, such as unedged sharp weapons, or simply use fists.

As long as you don't hit the fatal position, blunt force injuries are difficult to cause death, but the damage is still real.

Tianming has extraordinary resistance to any attack. A hit to others would cause bruises, but a hit to him would cause a burst of physical pain at most.

And his recovery ability is also excellent. No matter how miserable he was at the time, this kid can recover in half a day at most, just like a normal person.

This ability may sound like nothing at first, and may even sound a bit ridiculous, but if you actually observe its effects, you will find that it is very practical.

Just like those injured Confucian disciples yesterday, if it had been Tianming, they would have been alive and kicking today and would not have been caught by Fu Nian.

Chef Ding was right about this, and Tianming knew it all too well—he had known it for as long as he could remember.

Over the years, life has beaten him repeatedly, and his flesh has become elastic and elastic.

Only by being severely beaten can you build thick armor!
  This is the reason why he is thick and can withstand beatings - of course, this is the reason Tianming thinks.

In fact, the beatings in life can only be regarded as a small part of the reason, helping him form some instinctive reactions in avoidance and defensive postures. What really helped him build up his armor was the special power sealed by the sleeping spell, and the recent Yan Yan The deep inner strength that Dan passed on to him.

Although he cannot mobilize the latter, it will passively nourish his body and improve his physique.

At the same time, it seemed to further intensify the former's power, causing Tianming to become more resistant to beatings during this period.

In the past half month, he had gone head-to-head with a large group of Confucian disciples, fighting overtly and covertly. Although he had not won a single victory, he had been unscathed in every battle!

Do you know about the Armored Gate celebration? People in the world call him Xiao Tianming!
  But no matter how much help this ability provided to Tianming, in the young man's eyes, it could only be regarded as a shame at best.

All he pursues is victory!

Of course, this is also what most normal people think. Who would be proud of being beaten when they have nothing to do?

Therefore, when Tianming heard this, his face suddenly fell into disgrace and he stared at Cook Ding expressionlessly:

"Are you here to laugh at me?"

"What kind of special ability is this!"

"Don't underestimate it!" Pao Ding said to Tianming seriously when he heard this, "This ability is very important, especially for a weakling like you."

"Hey!" Tian Ming curled his lips disdainfully, "How many more times does it count as a skill?"

"Of course it's my skill!" Cook Ding said matter-of-factly, "This fight is nothing more than you attacking and me defending, back and forth."

"If there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, the stronger one can end the battle with one move. There is no need to say more about this situation."

"But if the strength gap is not that huge, it depends on the comprehensive strength of both sides."

"It takes ten punches for you to defeat him, but it takes twenty punches or more for him to hit you. Who do you think has a better chance of winning?"

"Of course it's me!" Tianming replied excitedly at first, and then collapsed immediately, "But I can't hit anyone in a fight with them. Even if I get twenty punches, I can't hit even one... "

"It's about overall strength." Pao Ding comforted him kindly, "You still have obvious shortcomings, but as long as you make up for them a little, you can defeat those opponents immediately. Isn't this the benefit of your resistance to beatings? "

"So of course it counts as a 'special talent' of yours."

"Okay... okay." Tian Ming was still a little disappointed, reluctantly accepted this statement, and then immediately looked at Cook Ding with hope again, "What about the other one?"

The first one has been sent, and now all his expectations are on the second one.

"You have quick, quick, quick reflexes!"

Cook Ding used three words in a row to describe it, because it was indeed too fast.

At that time, both Tian Ming and Shi Lan took action, but Tian Ming's attack speed was much faster than Shi Lan's, so much so that even with Thieves Zhi's eyes, they couldn't see it clearly.

"Is there...?" Tianming looked down at his hands suspiciously.

This ability sounds very cool, but... he didn't think he had such ability!

With such ability, can he still be beaten every day?
  "Of course, certain conditions must be met." Cook Ding smiled and put a prerequisite for Tianming's ability.

"Ah..." Although he didn't understand why, he felt that it was not a good thing when he heard it. Tian Ming stared at Cook Ding with one eye, waiting for the follow-up.

Cook Ding continued as he wished, "I don't know the specific conditions at the moment, but I think it should be triggered when encountering danger... just like yesterday."

"Really..." Tian Ming is still not sure, because he has encountered so many dangers, and he has never seen any... Uh, wait!
  When he recalled the dangerous situation he encountered, Tianming realized that he seemed to be extraordinarily brave at that time!

How could he have been entangled with that bronze giant for so long! Not dead yet!
  Thinking of this, Tianming started to believe it.

Chef Ding was also very confident in his judgment. After being questioned, he decided to conduct a practical test:

"We'll find out after we try it."

After saying that, he didn't give Tianming any time to react, and immediately punched the opponent's front door with all his strength.

He definitely couldn't be too cruel to Tian Ming, so he had to change his mind and use a sneak attack to catch the opponent off guard as much as possible.

Only in this way can it be effective.

"what!"

It was indeed very effective. Tianming covered his face and let out a shrill scream, and his whole body suddenly leaned back.
