Chapter 1893: Chapter 1882: Strange Behavior
Faced with the reputation and special talents of the academy, Shui Linghan clearly values the latter more.
"Wait!"
Before Leng Shui could turn around, Ao Cangsheng hurriedly called out.
"What’s wrong?"
Shui Lingleng stopped in her tracks, somewhat surprised.
Ao Cangsheng said, "Since Luoyun Valley can send people here, they’ve mostly gauged the principal’s actions already."
"In my view, even if the principal cancels the duel at the cost of the academy’s reputation, Luo Yonggu should have other plans."
"Perhaps the next step is Luoyun Valley’s real path to targeting the Heavenly Dragon Martial Arts School."
"What do you think?"
Shui Lingleng frowned, showing some helplessness.
"Let’s engage them in battle ourselves! Facing them directly is easier than dealing with them in the dark."
Ao Cangsheng squinted his eyes, then his words startled everyone.
"But didn’t you say the war was extremely dangerous?"
Shui Linghan looked at Ao Cangsheng.
Ao Cangsheng spoke with confidence: "Rest easy, Principal. Even if the war is extremely dangerous, we must proceed."
"As for how to deal with Luoyun Valley’s attack in the end, I have my own methods!"
Shui Lingleng hesitated for a moment, but eventually chose to trust Ao Cangsheng.
Having said that, Ao Cangsheng summoned nine other disciples to the side.
Looking at Ao Cangsheng’s mysterious demeanor, all nine seemed puzzled.
After this month’s deadly training, these people not only gained confidence but also have great admiration for Ao Cangsheng’s strength.
They couldn’t understand what made this powerful and incredible companion suddenly turn solemn?
"I want to share some bad news. Our opponent this time is exceptionally strong."
Ao Cangsheng said with a sweeping glance, his proud demeanor serious.
"How strong? Brother, we’ve ranked in the top ten of the diving chart. Everyone else can enter the top twenty. Who can defeat us?"
Qiao Li sat up, striking a very proud pose.
Although the others said nothing, Ao Cangsheng noted that they agreed with Man Zuo from their expressions.
"Alright, sit down and let’s talk. After this month of training, you’re indeed strong
"Now, aside from the five disciples whose lives were ruined, none of the other five dare to enter the top ten of the diving Giant Dragon chart!"
"But even so, I’m still worried about your participation in the war. You’re strong, but your opponent is stronger."
"For example, if you can make it into the top ten of the diving chart, the opponent can easily enter the top three."
As Ao Cangsheng’s words fell, the nine people in front of him suddenly opened their eyes simultaneously.
"Leader, I believe the opponent isn’t strong. Before the duel, you said they were strong, but I didn’t believe it!"
This time it was Hong Laohu.
Hong Laohu always remains quiet. Even facing Ao Cangsheng, he rarely speaks.
At this moment, when Hong Laohu spoke, it visibly challenged Ao Cangsheng’s judgment.
"Indeed! I agree with Hong Laohu. With our strength, I believe no one in Sky Martial Arts Academy can match us!"
Leng He nodded, speaking angrily.
As the first martial arts school of the Tang Dynasty, they are the leaders of martial arts schools. Leng He naturally has his pride.
"It’s apparent you’re angered, and you’re right. But who told you, you’re fighting against disciples of Cangqiong Martial Arts Hall this time?"
Ao Cangsheng smiled, but once he spoke, the nine in front were left surprised.
"Leader, are you kidding? The entire academy, even the whole Tang Dynasty knows our challenge is the Sky Martial Arts Academy."
"Given the circumstances.
"Chief, how do we fight this war? If the other side consists of people like Peng Hua and Lv Lingfei, we are bound to lose this battle!"
While sitting down, there was a hint of frustration. Having just shed a lot of blood, not knowing what to do, suddenly the heat completely vanished.
Although the other eight said nothing, they simultaneously looked seriously at Ao Cangsheng.
Clearly, the question Hong Zuo raised was precisely what they wanted to say.
"If my expectations are correct, among the five people with exceptional natural and cultural environments, most possess strength akin to Peng Hua and Lv Lingfei, or they do too!"
Ao Cangsheng mentioned casually.
"What, more of them?"
Sitting up, his eyes widened, visibly startled by Ao Cangsheng’s words.
"Why, are you scared?"
Ao Cangsheng sneered, suddenly questioning back.
Even though he had questioned them, he calmly looked at everyone.
"Afraid? Hmph, what’s Cloud Valley? Strong means they’re great?"
"Sure, they’re stronger than me, but can they be as deadly as me?"
"Don’t tell me, Leader. Even if our opponent is Luo Yumeng’s dogs this time, I’ll show them my teeth!"
Hong Lao sat like a tiger, tail held down, suddenly roared.
With his roar, the previously lost heat in the blood suddenly boiled again.
"Yes! There’s nothing remarkable about Cloud Valley’s people! Others may fear them, but we do not."
"We are the elites of Heavenly Dragon Martial Arts School. We’ll fight dogs in Cloud Valley!"
Hong Laohu, too, was furious, with a face flush and ears red.
It shows that Ao Cangsheng’s previous words greatly stimulated him.
"I also like Hong Zuo’s stance. Wuyun Valley may be powerful, but can it be as deadly as us?"
Wei Ziqing clenched his fists, appearing arrogantly tyrannical.
Witnessing this sudden change in attitude, Ao Cangsheng’s face suddenly lit up with a smile: "The principal intended, for your safety, to cancel the war even if it meant shaming the academy."
"But hearing your words now, it seems you wish to clash with the people of Cloud Valley?"
Hong Zuo nodded emphatically. "Leader, quickly stop the principal, don’t let him cancel the match."
"This battle concerns not just the reputation of the Heavenly Dragon Martial Arts School, but our honor."
"If he goes back on it, who will come to the Heavenly Dragon Martial Arts School? How can we even hold our heads high then?"
"Absolutely! Leader, you must stop the principal. Otherwise, once he cancels the match, the core strength of the Heavenly Dragon Martial Arts School will completely collapse!"
Hong Laohu looked anxious, suddenly stepping forward with urgency.
Ao Cangsheng waved his hand and said, "Don’t worry, I just stopped the principal. I wanted your input before confirming whether he’d proceed."
"Don’t leave! We’ll fight till the end! Wuyun Valley came to us. If we don’t engage, what makes us different from cowards?"
Shen Wei’s eyes sparkled, his entire being filled with fighting spirit.
"I don’t care what others think. Anyway, I’ve grown up, and I want fragments from Cloud Valley’s remains!"
As Hong Zuo spoke, he grinned, showing disregard.
Ao Cangsheng’s smile widened. The scene before him was precisely what he desired.
He understood that if he encouraged them actively, even if they bravely faced challenges, fear might dwell in their hearts.
Thus, Ao Cangsheng did the opposite. First, he sparked curiosity with mystery.
Then, he used Luoyun Valley as a tool to challenge everyone.
Finally, he strategically exaggerated Luoyun Valley’s strength, igniting the bloody battle spirit within them.
Urging them to remove fear from their hearts and face Luoyun Valley’s disciples.
It’s undeniable that Ao Cangsheng’s method was brilliant. With brief effort, he could make the nine before him fight decisively and muster courage to fight against those from Luoyun Valley.
With the problem resolved, Ao Cangsheng must deal with the aftermath.
Though these people do not fear war, once actual combat begins, it’s another matter.
As Ao Cangsheng mentioned before, this battle is a life-defining one.
Severe injuries remain the secondary concern, even war isn’t impossible to imagine.
Hence, before the fight, Ao Cangsheng must prepare well.
"I have some medicine here. Carry it. It’ll be useful in battle!"
Ao Cangsheng said, raising his right hand, holding two Crystal Jade Bottles.
He opened the bottles and distributed the pills to the nine people before him.
Even though their bloodlines were thoroughly inspired by Ao Cangsheng, they weren’t arrogant enough to reject Ao Cangsheng Pills.
Two bottles of Spiritual Medicine were distributed, and no one refused Ao Kangsheng.
