Chapter 196 Canglin Tournament (11)

Feng Bujue spoke out, sounding as if he wasn’t ashamed and instead proud.

The crowd was shocked, even his little friends and Young Master Ji Bu were stunned.

In the martial arts world, to say that they “learned without a teacher” was like saying “I can fly and destroy a mountain by my fist” to others in the real world. Also, the sentence “I opened this shack by myself” followed with “learning from no one”, scared the people of Wulin to death.

“Hahaha…”The Drunk Monk Lu Shan, who was sitting by the stairs, laughed after hearing Feng Bujue’s words.” A self-taught man, even making his own Breaking Sword Tea Shack!” He interjected, “this monk has journeyed Wulin for many years and I’ve seen lots of famous people with different reputations, with some that don’t deserve it; As for the people who liked bragging about themselves, they are not even worth mentioning.” He took another sip of his wine from the jar and then looked up at Feng Bujue, “I have never once met someone like Mister Feng, who doesn’t even have any fame yet still speaks like a braggart”.

At this moment, Lu Shan used a martial art style called “Cobra Offering Wine”, people only saw that his arm was curled when he suddenly launched out a powerful wisplike attack by the wine jar from his arm. “This monk shall give you a cup!” Accompanied by his words, the wine jar shot out from his arms, flying towards Feng Bujue.

Lu Shan who appeared to be rude and bold was just scheming. He did this trick deliberately. The present masters of martial arts could see the high-speed rotation of the wine jar had some hidden strength and ordinary people couldn’t resist at all. If Feng Bujue could catch the wine jar then he should be a man with significant inner strength and if he could break the wine jar, then that meant he was an expert of body Kungfu. Of course, there was the possibility that he would be directly hit… It would be such a shame if that were the case… Lu Shan’s behavior seemed like he was creating a mess. But he was helping Feng Bujue out.

Because of Jue-Ge’s shocking words, it could be said that the total hate value of all the people gathered was instantly maxed out. Even the Shaolin monks, Renwu scholars, and Taoists shook their heads. The leaders of the other parties were full of contempt. As for those junior disciples and normal Wulin people, even they couldn’t accept this kind of arrogant language at all.

In this situation, if Lu Shan hadn’t been the first to attack then some second-rate quack would’ve immediately jumped out, shouting something like “Your excellency has such a big tone. I would like to learn some tricks or styles from you”, then proceed to fight with Feng Bujue. Lu Shan was very clear that suckers in Kungfu would have less self-control while their superiors being the total opposite. But he was afraid that some gangsters would come and injure the young man’s bones. But now, that he, the Drunk Monk had made a speech. The lower-leveled people of Kungfu also no longer wanted to move. He had a good shot testing Feng Bujue, the rest need only watch the show.

Lu Shan’s own thought process was, if that Feng dude could block the wine jar, then that would be for the best, others would see his true Kungfu and wouldn’t trouble him again. If he can’t dodge this jar, it won’t hurt him too badly, so he would be too ashamed of himself and go away.

It was a good idea… But…

The result was totally unexpected!

While the monk was laughing, Feng Bujue realized what this NPC was trying to do, so, he immediately prepared his Death Poker under the table ready to defend. No matter how the other side attacks, he will keep to his own way. In any case, if he was with faced a slightly stronger attack, he’d just use the [Shield “Card”] to keep himself safe.

At this moment, the wine jar flew across the lobby in a blink of an eye.

And the people heard something breaking…

The wine jar broke in midair. It was like it had hit a wall in the air and all the liquor spilled out, not one drop getting through the invisible barrier. Feng Bujue sat in his chair without moving, his cup in one hand and the other hand hanging “casually” under the table, he looked cool like a true master.

When the wine jar collided with the field of golden light, he squinted his eyes and the next second, he suddenly reached out with the hand holding the teacup. In that moment, [Shield Card] had deactivated. Feng Bujue reached over pretending to catch a splash of wine that was falling from the air.

“This monk is too generous.” Feng Bujue stared at the wine inside the teacup in front of him “Saying you want to give me a cup but instead sending over the whole jar.” He smiled. “but I can’t drink that much, I guess this is enough for me.” he said, emptying the small teacup “full” of wine that he had received.

Only silence remained in the lobby of the hotel…

Even though Shi Yanran had already seen this “martial art”, it was still completely hard to comprehend.

“An expert on internal strength that can stop things in the air; Masters of Qi can drive their Qi out of their body; The formation of gas taking shape can be called the peak…” A soft voice speaking slowly and softly struck right into the hearts of all people.

Feng Bujue looked up and saw a woman in purple sitting there. At first glance, this woman had a beautiful body, snow-white skin, and a jade-like face, after studying her well, he found out that she was far more than beyond of just being a beauty, she was refined and dignified. Especially her lovely flowing eyes. When a person looked at them they would be unable to forget about those eyes.  As the saying goes, “The Beauty with one Sight” [T/L: Chinese saying which means even with one look, people can never forget the beauty]

This woman was Murong Ying and lots of people called her the “Fairy outside the Cloud”. Although her martial art skills were mediocre at best, her martial arts knowledge was extremely profound. In Jianghu word was spread, that if a person marries the Murong family’s young lady, you won’t only be getting a beautiful fairy, but also a half teacher to return home. However, because of this reason, Murong Ying was already 25 and still hadn’t married. Invitations were directly rejected. After all, people’s heart was sinister, she couldn’t tell who was sincere from the pure-hearted. So, she just simply refused all of them.

“… The martial arts of this young man is on a higher realm!” Murong continued her words, “Holding the golden Qi outside the body, then turning into nothing, gather and spread calm… ” She looked into Feng Bujue‘s eyes with a straight face, ” I didn’t know that I would have the honor and luck to see this level of martial arts which hasn’t appeared for the last 300 years, admire, admire!”

Feng Bujue was extremely happy right now. This beauty was too great! He thought that his bluff would take a little more time to work. Good thing someone was willing to cooperate with him. Even he, himself wanted to say ” that sounds reasonable” to her point.

Sure enough, Murong Ying’s words stunned everyone. This was a very interesting phenomenon… When something goes wrong and no one knows what the truth is and then suddenly an expert appears expressing their opinion, whether it was true or not, it was likely to become an accepted fact…

Gongsun Qian was completely dumbfounded. Originally, he was suspicious of the golden force field. But now he was convinced that this owner of “Breaking Sword Tea Shack” was superior.

“Ha-ha, what the Murong girl said made sense! I knew this kid wasn’t easy.” Meng Jiu’s laughter rang out, nobody questioned him when he came out and was now sitting across the threshold of the hotel’s entrance, drinking with his back against the frame.

Lu Shan originally being the bold and forthright person that he was, couldn’t stand the humiliation, so he laughed out loud: ” Ha… Old beggar! This Monk is not as stingy as you! What’s a jar of wine being wasted compare to seeing such a thing?” The appearance of Meng Jiu and the dialogue between both broke the brief silence of the Wulin people. They immediately went into discussions, the focus completely shifting to the “Breaking Sword Tea Shack” and his teammates. As for the matter regarding the Wanxia House, the people have already thrown it out of their minds.

Then another man spoke on the second floor of the hotel. “I wondered what all the fuss was about… It turns out that a guest has arrived.” The man who said this was a swordsman in white with an age less than 40 years, “Lord Feng……..” He made a slight leap with just two steps, his feet were in the middle of the void, jumping directly from the second floor to Feng Bujue’s table, and standing steadily. “I’ve been waiting for your arrival.”

“Do I know you? “Asked Feng Bujue.

The crowd went into discussion again.

“What… Did he just say that he doesn’t know Lin Chang? The Ye Family’s ‘Flower Shadow Six Sword’, the first superior. He unexpectedly doesn’t recognize him?”, “What the hell is wrong with this young man named Feng?”

It was normal for the people around Feng Bujue to make a fuss. Lin Chang was the first of the Flower Shadow Six Sword, amongst the swordsmen, apart from the Unknown Sword Xie San and Sword God Ye Cheng, he could be ranked third. Of course, the gap between him and the first two was huge.

“Haha… “Lin Chang laughed, clenching his fists and said:” This one is Lin Chang of the Clear Sky Sword, waiting for the host, would you accompany me to upstairs for a chat?”
