Chapter 153: Chapter 146: Heavenly-Covering Array, Wu De’s Trickery! Sparring!
Hearing Su Nan’s words, Wu De’s face turned green.
He wondered why Su Nan always sided with Wu Yong.
Turns out, the damn senior brother is actually Su Nan’s son?
"So, it means..."
Wu De pointed at his own nose, looking as if he was about to vomit blood,
"I gave away a ton of resources, yet got a useless cultivation technique in return."
"And in the end, the Su family benefits, and freely comprehends my family’s array?"
Initially, when Su Nan wanted a recorded killing array, Wu De firmly disagreed.
But now, the resources were gone, and the damn array was still not recorded.
Moreover, it wasn’t about recording, it was about comprehending!
Thinking back and forth, wasn’t this a massive loss? I feel like a huge fool!
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
Before Su Nan could speak, Wu Yong complained: "Without my senior brother, could I have mastered this cultivation technique?"
"It’s merely about comprehending the Great Emperor’s killing array, it’s not like we’re giving it away, why be so stingy?"
Wu Yong truly disliked the two young masters of the Su family, but he genuinely appreciated Su Changqing from the bottom of his heart.
"Exactly."
Su Nan crossed his arms, giving Wu De a sidelong glance, "Learn well from your son."
"With such a little vision, you should retire early like me, hand over the power."
Wu Yong’s eyes lit up, "Right, right, right! Uncle Su is right!"
If he becomes the patriarch, wouldn’t the Wu family be under his command?
"You... you ungrateful son!"
Seeing the father-son duo seemingly in cahoots, Wu De was so mad he almost spat out blood.
Whose son is this anyway!
Letting Wu Yong be the patriarch? Does he even have what it takes?
Su Moyan’s skills and wisdom, can they even match Wu Yong’s?
"Enough, enough!"
Finally, Wu De waved his hand helplessly, "It’s good that the cultivation technique is mastered, if you want to comprehend the killing array, go ahead."
"This Wu family will eventually be yours, see how far you can go."
Although Wu De looked like he was about to vomit blood from distress, knowing that the Hun Yuan Heavenly Cycle could be mastered, he felt quite gratified.
Not to mention, if Wu Yong could truly carry forward this legacy, it’s far beyond a single killing array.
With the major trend approaching, all he can do is pave the way for Wu Yong.
"Hahaha, good!"
Hearing Wu De agree, Su Nan was even happier than Wu Yong and laughed while patting Wu De’s shoulder,
"Stay for dinner tonight!"
Hearing this, Wu De forced a smile harder than crying, the cost of this meal was way too high.
However, a thought crossed his mind, and he leaned closer to Su Nan, whispering, "Brother Su, is your son’s comprehension really that strong?"
Su Nan grinned and humbly replied, "Average, just the first in the ranking of the Primordial Stone Engravings’ prodigies."
"Hiss!"
Hearing this, Wu De’s expression changed instantly.
It’s hard to gauge comprehension just from words, but being first in the ranking of the Primordial Stone Engravings speaks volumes of his terror.
Suddenly, an excited look appeared on his face, "Brother Nan, do you want your son to comprehend another set of Great Emperor arrays?"
Su Nan’s eyes lit up, "Oh? What’s that supposed to mean?"
"You know the Fang family’s small Heaven Shrouding array, right?"
With a mischievous smile, Wu De said: "Don’t judge it by its size, it’s the best in the world at sealing auras and secrets."
"Once the array is set, even if every quasi-emperor on the continent looks, they won’t find a trace."
"With the major trend approaching, the Fang family only has ways to defend and avoid, but they’re severely lacking in offensive arrays."
"Recently, the Fang family has been contacting me to exchange arrays, but we’ve never reached an agreement."
As he spoke, Wu De’s little eyes gleamed brightly,
"The Fang family, those bastards think the same as I do, wanting the other’s array but unwilling to let their own flow out."
"Since Nephew Chang Qing’s comprehension is so formidable, why don’t we..."
This was a matter of great importance, so he began to transmit his thoughts directly.
As Su Nan listened, his eyes grew brighter, eventually gasping in surprise, giving Wu De a look,
"You’re gonna screw over the Fang family!"
Wu De chuckled, with such heavy losses from this trip, he needs to make some recovery, right?
The Su family is too strong, and with them in the Southern Region, he can’t make a move.
But the Fang family doesn’t have so many concerns. Usually, they don’t get along, and they’re also a power from the Eastern Region, so if he doesn’t take advantage, it’s a waste not to.
"The Fang family..."
Su Nan rubbed his chin, thoughtfully saying, "They seem to be quite close to the Holy Feather Country."
"Everyone knows, those two families are basically in each other’s pockets."
Wu De looked at Su Nan in surprise, "Brother Su, you’re not getting along with the Holy Feather Country?"
"Just a little thing."
Su Nan didn’t elaborate, merely smiling, and said, "Let’s do it your way, and remember to have Chang Qing record a set of arrays for me."
"Preferably, both the killing array and the Heaven Shrouding array."
On the surface, the Southern Region seems calm, but once chaos starts, it can’t be suppressed.
All Su Nan can do is try and delay things as much as possible.
"Alright, I’ll go prepare..."
Seeing Su Nan agree, Wu De’s face immediately showed excitement.
But before he could finish, a commotion erupted outside.
"The Young Master is fighting with Brother Er Niu? Haha, let’s go, let’s go, and see the Young Master’s strength!"
"Brother Er Niu is at the fourth stage, while the Young Master is only at the first. Isn’t it a given that he’ll lose?"
"You damn fool, Brother Er Niu must have lowered his level, duh! He wouldn’t let the Young Master see his true cultivation level..."
Hearing the sounds from outside the courtyard, Su Nan also showed a look of interest.
Though he knows in the same realm Chang Qing would surely win, he hasn’t really seen Chang Qing fight anyone.
"Care to join me in taking a look?" Su Nan asked Wu De.
"I’ll pass, what’s there to see in a Divine Body stage fight."
With the matter of the Fang family’s arrays in mind, Wu De couldn’t stay any longer, so he said:
"Brother Su, wait for my message, get Nephew Chang Qing to come when everything is ready, I’ll take my leave now."
With that, Wu De waved his broad sleeve and vanished.
"What’s there to see in a Divine Body stage fight?"
Wu Yong pouted, remembering the stunning swing of his senior brother’s axe back then, and sighed,
"Senior Brother Chang Qing isn’t just strong in comprehension; his combat power is terrifyingly formidable too."
...
The news of Er Niu and Chang Qing sparring spread, and not a single person in Cyan Mountain Village missed it.
Even Ye Shu, who was cooking, came to the depths of the sky to watch the two below.
At this time, the sky was already crowded with seventy or eighty people.
Below, in a broad clearing in the depths of the forest.
"Chang Qing, why choose a place like this?"
Er Niu casually sliced through a large tree, saying helplessly.
"To avoid disturbing the villagers, Uncle Er is quite old, what if we scare him?"
Clearing out a broad area, Su Changqing nodded with satisfaction.
The mountainous terrain which was once extremely perilous during his childhood, now seemed ordinary to him.
Facing Er Niu, he softly smiled: "Brother Er Niu, how is your cultivation now?"
"I..."
Er Niu thought for a moment, then replied: "At the peak of the Divine Body realm, I guess."
He could sense Chang Qing’s cultivation, just mid-level Divine Body.
With his peak Divine Body realm, he figured he could suppress and match Chang Qing’s pace.
"Brother Er Niu is truly a genius," Su Changqing replied with praise.
"Heh."
Er Niu chuckled, a sword flourish in hand, looking at Su Changqing with eyes full of fighting spirit:
"Let me see how much you’ve progressed this past month, Chang Qing!"
With those words, Er Niu’s figure charged as his vitality surged, his sword moving like a swift serpent directly toward Su Changqing.
Su Changqing stood firm, rivers and mountains seemed to move beneath him, and in the blink of an eye, he powerfully punched directly at Er Niu’s sword.
Withdrawing his fist and standing still, Su Changqing looked at Er Niu on the opposite side, smiling with confidence:
"Brother Er Niu, "
"Now, I must be counted among the talented!"
