Chapter 5: An Unexpected Encounter With the Wrong Opening

Bai Qige returned home, his face very dark, extremely dark. He underestimated Long Aotian and overestimated himself.

The mysterious high monk Master Wet Dream of Lanruo Temple was naturally disguised by Bai Qige, and his transformation was not through makeup, but through the illusionary power of Myriad Illusions Sky Slash.

The main material of Myriad Illusions Sky Slash, a God Weapon, is a substance that absolutely does not exist on Earth. It is like flowing metallic liquid, yet also like a semi-energy body with an undefined nature. By holding Myriad Illusions Sky Slash and deliberately shaping it with thoughts, the sword can instantly transform into any form imagined by the user, making it the most powerful attribute of this God Weapon.

In the hands of warriors in the Middle-earth World, by a single thought, Myriad Illusions Sky Slash can transform into various weapons such as swords, spears, and more, possessing the characteristics of perfectly mimicking the weapons and lasting for a considerable time. It can be said that with this sword in hand, there is nothing further to desire, perfectly meeting all the needs of warriors.

Bai Qige was originally thinking of inventing powerful weapons, like guns and sniper rifles, with his ability called Myriad Illusions Sky Slash. Unfortunately, this ability could only change its appearance to something Bai Qige could understand, but couldn’t create real weapons. So, his idea for the weapons didn’t work out.

So, he had to stick to transforming swords and spears instead. But humans are very creative, so they found a way to cover the whole body with Myriad Illusions Sky Slash and give it any shape they imagined. This resulted in the appearance of a mysterious monk named Master Wet Dream at Lanruo Temple. The idea was simple: Bai Qige covered himself with a layer of Myriad Illusions Sky Slash to look like someone else. Though there were many flaws, like the hard and cold skin, it was good enough to scare Long Aotian.

Bai Qige’s plan was simple, he decided to bet on Long Aotian’s rare talent. Bai Qige wanted to teach Long Aotian a special technique called Dragon-slaying Alliance Basic Heart Sutra to see if Long Aotian, with his talent, could master it in a few days. If Long Aotian succeeded, it would be a great achievement. If not, Long Aotian would still gain some knowledge.

Bai Qige believed in his plan, expecting it to bring good results with no risk. But when he transformed into Master Wet Dream in front of Long Aotian, an unexpected situation occurred.

[Due to the influence of Dragon’s Fighting Spirit, your intelligence is decreasing…]

[Under the influence of Myriad Illusions Sky Slash, your mind is getting confused…]

Fate Interface suddenly showed two reminders about Myriad Illusions Sky Slash being an Evil God Weapon causing mental confusion. This weapon had a mysterious power that could disturb the mind, but it was not serious if one focused. However, Bai Qige didn’t expect Long Aotian’s Imbecility Aura to mix with the confusing power of Myriad Illusions Sky Slash.

As a result, the kind and wise Master Wet Dream disappeared, and a fanatic Muscular Monk appeared, who was passionate about muscles.

Initially, Bai Qige planned to deceive Long Aotian by pretending to be Master Wet Dream and teach him the Basic Heart Sutra. But due to the confusion, he ended up hugging Long Aotian and demonstrating the charm of the indestructible muscles for ten minutes.

That is indeed the indestructible muscle of Myriad Illusions Sky Slash, formed by the transformation of the fourth-level God Weapon, which can definitely rival the material of high-strength alloy.

Feeling the charm of the indestructible perfect muscles for ten minutes, Long Aotian ended up foaming at the mouth and fainting, prompting Bai Qige to act sensibly and urgently take him to the hospital for first aid!

A perfectly zero-risk, high-return plan turned into a mess because of his own confused state of mind. Can Bai Qige not feel embarrassed?

However, tempted by Experience Points, Bai Qige can only continue to seriously consider how to remedy this plan.

Wrapped in bandages, Long Aotian lay on the hospital bed, looking up at the sky in silence. He felt that what happened today was too absurd – a mysterious monk invited him, spoke a bunch of cryptic words, claimed he was a martial arts prodigy, and offered to teach him martial arts to help him avert a destined catastrophe. Well, up to this point, the plot was quite normal, but what followed seemed as if the author had drunk two bottles of liquor and then written it with their face on the keyboard.

The mysterious monk transformed into a Muscular Monk and, under the pretext of making him personally experience the allure of muscles, ruthlessly subjected Long Aotian to a brutal bear hug. In that moment, Long Aotian fully believed that this monk possessed extraordinary martial skills. He struggled desperately, fought back with all his might, but the muscles shimmering with dazzling golden light, like forged from titanium alloy, instead crushed his hand bones. Then, amid the sounds of his bones crunching, Long Aotian fainted in a mix of suffocation and terror.

Multiple fractures, severe bruising, extensive lacerations, ligament tears, internal injuries – when he woke up in the hospital bed, the doctors were curious, wondering if he had been attacked by a gorilla or bear that had escaped from the zoo.

After all, Long Aotian was just a young man in his twenties, facing death for the first time. Now he feels a fear towards muscles and vows never to step into a gym again. He fears that once he enters, he will recall the moment when his bones began to break in the embrace of the Muscular Monk, leading to suffocation and fainting.

"Maybe it’s just a dream. I was really attacked by a gorilla that escaped from the zoo today, I just read too many martial arts novels recently and hallucinated! It’s a dream, it’s a dream, definitely a dream. Now is the age of science, there are no monsters or goblins, that Evil Monk couldn’t suddenly appear from outside the balcony, we’re on the twelfth floor, I definitely had a hallucination!"

"Good evening, young friend. I will keep it short – do not cover your head with a blanket. Ignoring the truth will not help. My actions may seem strange, but it is for your benefit. The skills I taught you require challenges. The state you are in now is perfect for training. I have written down the techniques for you to practice. If you want to participate in the upcoming competition, focus on your training! I must go!"

Bai Qige dared not say more, fearing that if he stayed a moment longer, he would be overwhelmed by Long Aotian’s Imbecility Aura and the confusing power of Myriad Illusions Sky Slash. He tossed the Dragon-slaying Alliance Basic Heart Sutra he had copied over to Long Aotian and went back to the balcony. After a long while, Long Aotian finally peeked out from under the blanket, curiously looking at the secret book made from a one-dollar notebook.

Long Aotian wondered if there truly were mysterious masters teaching martial arts in the world, while Bai Qige climbed the hospital wall regretting his decision not to take the elevator.

The next few days, Bai Qige focused on training at the Natural Martial Arts School while Long Aotian recovered in the hospital or studied the Basic Heart Sutra Bai Qige gave him. Bai Qige continued his practice, leaving Long Aotian’s progress to fate.

On the day of the fight between Long Aotian and the arrogant young man, it was the School Festival at Canglan Academy. Bai Qige sneaked into the academy as an outsider, taking advantage of the festive atmosphere.

Canglan Academy, a prestigious school known for its comprehensive education, held the School Festival every two years to engage with alumni and raise funds. The school was open to the public, and Bai Qige explored freely after registering.

Bai Qige dropped out of middle school and reflected on the possible different path his life could have taken if his parents were alive.

The showdown between Long Aotian and the young man took place at the Second Sports Hall. Bai Qige arrived early but found many students already gathered, eagerly waiting for the event to begin.

Bai Qige listened to the gossip among the students and discovered that the bet between Long Aotian and the young man was widely known at Canglan Academy.

Long Aotian has always been a popular figure at Canglan Academy, simply because he is handsome. In this society where looks matter a lot, it’s not surprising that he is very popular. Tang Jiaorong, on the other hand, is a wealthy and charming girl, also known as one of the top ten beauties at Canglan Academy. Even though they are high school students, they are both very popular, and when these two popular figures come together, rumors spread everywhere.

The dandy young man is not well-liked by many students. They talk about him behind his back, thinking he’s like a toad trying to eat swan meat!

The time for the duel was approaching quickly. The dandy young man arrived first, looking arrogant. However, Long Aotian had not shown up yet. Bai Qige thought to himself, if Long Aotian had successfully completed the first level of the Basic Heart Sutra in these past few days, he should be able to leave the hospital. If Long Aotian didn’t show up, it meant he had failed, and the mission would also be a failure.

Luckily, Long Aotian’s rare talent did not disappoint Bai Qige. He finally arrived.

He wore a smart school uniform, looking so handsome that it made others jealous. Although he had some bandages around him, the injuries from the battle with Master Wet Dream were still visible. Despite this, as he walked over, the female students couldn’t help but scream in admiration.

The dandy young man looked displeased, as did many other male students. They were all men with backgrounds and status, all students at the same school, so why was he the only one so popular?

"Hmph, you dare to show up. It seems like the beating I gave you a few days ago wasn’t enough. Today, I will make you beg for mercy in front of everyone! Give up Tang Jiaorong."

The dandy young man gritted his teeth while Long Aotian remained unfazed. His eyes showed a different kind of power and confidence.

"I have transformed, you are going to lose!"

Bai Qige hid in the crowd and watched the confident Long Aotian, couldn’t help but touch his chin, muttering, "Is this really the rare talent of a century? It’s quite exaggerated!"

He could still peek into Long Aotian’s Fate Interface, at this moment, in Long Aotian’s Fate Interface column, clearly displayed a line of words… Dragon-slaying Alliance Basic Heart Sutra Level 3 (under the influence of bloodline, in mutation).

In just a few days, he had successfully practiced the Basic Heart Sutra to Level 3, which was already a remarkable speed. Bai Qige remembered that when he practiced the first level Basic Heart Sutra to Level 3, it took him several months, and there was this inexplicable mutation, not knowing what impact it would have.

The dandy young man and Long Aotian stared at each other, then turned their heads and began to prepare. After a while, the two teams appeared on the basketball court in the sports field, and the audience seats erupted in boos.

"This dandy young man seems only frivolous, but not foolish! However, his character is really a bit shameless!" Bai Qige showed a helpless smile. On Long Aotian’s side, there were five students with spirited looks, showing some basketball skills. On the dandy young man’s side, there were five strong African Americans at least over six feet tall.

Anyone could see that this was not a matchup of the same level! Some of the audience also had a liking for basketball games, and immediately recognized two familiar faces among these five African Americans.

"Hmm, you think you’re good at basketball, so you’re useful? Handsome? Let me tell you, in the Yanhuang Empire, having connections, a strong family background, and good relationships is the real deal. If I say a word, I can gather a team of NBA-level professional players. You want to compete with me? You’re clueless! Also, you said you’ve undergone a complete transformation? I’m already doomed to lose? Now let’s see who’s doomed to lose."
