Chapter 111: Turning Enemies into Friends

"This martial art was something I obtained by chance; it is indeed called Single-Handed Eighteen Picks. I wonder where you heard of it?" Nan Feihuang asked in return.

He did not want to expose that he was also a transmigrator; given Tang San's personality, he likely would not tolerate the existence of someone like himself.

Nan Feihuang was not afraid of him, but he preferred to use him to attract the attention of major powers in the future; if he kept staring at him, what kind of situation would that be?

"Obtained by chance?" Tang San was skeptical. With his calculating nature, it was impossible for him to believe it just because Nan Feihuang said so.

However, the matter of transmigration was, after all, ethereal, and it was even more unlikely for two to appear in the same generation. He preferred to believe that someone in the Douluo Continent had experienced the same situation long ago, left behind a legacy, and it had been obtained by Nan Feihuang.

Of course, the possibility that Nan Feihuang was in the same situation as him could not be ruled out, but the probability was relatively low.

Regardless of which it was, Tang San's intent to kill had already arisen. A special existence like him—the world did not need two; it was another path to self-destruction.

"Killing intent!" How sharp was Nan Feihuang's perception of killing intent? It seemed he had underestimated Tang San's ruthlessness. Even without solid evidence, just based on suspicion, he was already thinking of wiping him out.

"Hey, are you Nan Feihuang?" Just as the two were confronting each other, Ning Rongrong suddenly stepped out, interrupting their battle and conversation.

Originally, she had not recognized him—this man who had once almost become her fiancé.

But just now, he claimed his surname was Nan, his mother's surname was Lan, and his martial soul was the Halberd. With so many characteristics combined, she would be too stupid if she still could not figure it out.

In fact, her running away from home this time had a little something to do with this guy. As Nan Feihuang's reputation grew, he first became the Academy Chief of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, then swept through all the Gold Spirit fighters at the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena without a single loss, backed by two Title Douluo.

It made Ning Fengzhi sigh a little, regretting that he had rejected Nan Tianchen too quickly back then.

If he had known earlier that Nan Feihuang's talent was inhuman and that he could become a lifelong friend with Dugu Bo, he might not have refused back then.

After all, although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect did not care about a small agricultural kingdom, nor did they care much about Lan Xue, who was only at the Spirit Douluo level at the time, now it was two full Title Douluo plus a top-tier genius destined to become a Title Douluo. He could not help but care; he kept wringing his hands in regret, having lost a peerless genius and two strong reinforcements.

However, sighing was one thing, but he did not intend to pursue this marriage again. For one, he had already refused; to go back and try to salvage it would be losing face for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, wouldn't it?

Secondly, Nan Feihuang's status was special; it was impossible for him to marry into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Moreover, Ning Rongrong had recently been secretly designated by him as the next successor to the sect, so naturally, she would not be easily married off either.

He only told Ning Rongrong that if she had time, she could go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to look around and make friends, so as to repair the relationship between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Gulei Kingdom.

Ning Rongrong misunderstood his meaning at the time and was very unhappy, saying it sounded like she was unwanted. No matter how outstanding Nan Feihuang was, he was just someone she had rejected; what did that count for?

She had a falling out with Ning Fengzhi on the spot. Ning Fengzhi said she was being unreasonable, and as a result, she decisively ran away from home.

Later, when she arrived at Shrek, she was humiliated by Flender and the others. It could be said that the guy in front of her was the culprit.

Ning Rongrong looked at Nan Feihuang with some resentment, which left Nan Feihuang completely confused. When had he ever offended this little witch?

"Nan Feihuang?" Tang San thought to himself, "So this guy is the Nan Feihuang known as the Flying General."

He clearly knew the intelligence on Nan Feihuang; it was his teacher who had told him.

One of the Grandmaster's great interests was studying the martial souls of the world. After accidentally learning about Nan Feihuang's deeds, he had actually come to watch a few of Nan Feihuang's spirit fights and recorded the Peerless Fangtian Halberd in his Spirit Master files.

Tang San immediately restrained his killing intent. It was not that he did not want to kill, but he had to consider the big picture.

First, Nan Feihuang's strength had just been displayed to the fullest, and he did not have absolute certainty of killing him. Second, the power behind Nan Feihuang was too great, while he had nothing behind him; his father was just a village blacksmith. Once he killed Nan Feihuang, he would have to face the pursuit of two Title Douluo, and he would surely die.

Trading his own life for Nan Feihuang's was not worth it.

It was just that his killing intent had just been revealed and was clearly detected by Nan Feihuang. Now he urgently needed a way out, and fortunately, someone soon provided him with one.

"Alright, stop it, all of you." Qin Ming rushed between the two groups with a rapid movement and looked at the Shrek group, saying, "You've seen it now, there are still many people in this world stronger than you. Feihuang didn't even use half of his strength just now, so before you go looking for trouble in the future, you had better weigh your own worth first."

"The reason you are so bold now, I guess, is because your teacher is nearby, but what about after graduation? Without protection, what will you do then?"

Qin Ming was using his own personal experience to teach them, and having Nan Feihuang strike first to show off was to increase the credibility of his words.

"Who are you?" Dai Mubai really disliked Qin Ming's lecturing tone; he was not their teacher.

"May I ask, sir, are you the one the Flying General just mentioned, the person who sent him out, and therefore the one qualified to give us some education?" Tang San was clever; he immediately figured out Qin Ming's identity and said bluntly, "What is your relationship with our Shrek Academy?"

Qin Ming smiled, "You are indeed intelligent. I am your senior; my name is Qin Ming, a graduate of the first class of Shrek. Does this identity qualify me to educate you?"

"So that's how it is. Hello, Senior. I am Tang San. Since you are our senior, you are naturally qualified." Tang San said immediately. In fact, whether he was qualified or not, he was just saying it casually, but he happened to need a way out, and since it was right in front of him, he went along with it.

"Brother Flying General, I am truly sorry just now. I thought you were deliberately coming to cause trouble for our Shrek, which is why I showed killing intent toward you. I didn't expect you were entrusted by our senior to teach us. Your strength has indeed made me understand what it means to have people beyond people. I express my apologies and gratitude to you." Tang San spoke in a very generous and appropriate manner, and it was reasonable and well-founded, making people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.

Once he said this, except for Nan Feihuang, who knew him, and Xun Yu, who could see through people's hearts, everyone else's favor toward him increased greatly.

"In Shrek, that Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun are very annoying, but this Tang San is a very good person. He knows how to correct his mistakes, is as humble as Teacher Qin, and his strength is not weak. Being able to have such a student, I now somewhat believe that Shrek is a good school," Yufeng said.

Qin Ming nodded with even more satisfaction, "Your name is Tang San, right? You are indeed measured in your actions. Very good. I didn't expect the academy to welcome such an outstanding child this year. Juniors, I hope you will remember today's lesson. Tang San is right: there are people beyond people. I don't know if those who don't dare to cause trouble are mediocre, but those who cause trouble at will are definitely fools. I hope you remember this principle."

"Yes, thank you for your teaching, Senior." Tang San took the lead in echoing. Although Dai Mubai and the others were still full of reluctance, because he was their senior, they could only say yes with dark faces.

Tang San walked in front of Nan Feihuang again and cupped his hands in a salute, "Brother Flying General, Tang San apologizes to you again. I hope you will forgive my impulsiveness just now. I just couldn't control myself because I was too worried about my sister."

"Old fox!" Nan Feihuang felt a chill in his heart. If others couldn't see Tang San's thoughts, couldn't he?

This act of taking the step down was done really well. In just a few words, he interpreted the blatant killing intent from just now as a misunderstanding, and even apologized and thanked him repeatedly to his face.

If he kept harping on it now, it would make him look like he lacked grace.

"Brother Tang is too polite. How could I, Nan Feihuang, mind such a small matter?" Nan Feihuang returned the salute. The two, who had been at daggers drawn just a moment ago, were now as polite as if they were good friends.

But Nan Feihuang knew that Tang San's killing intent toward him would not really disappear because of this; he just felt that now was not the time.

That was why he put on this posture of turning enemies into friends. If he didn't know this guy a little, he might have been deceived by his image of knowing how to correct mistakes and acting appropriately, thinking he was really good, becoming true friends with him from then on, and then being open-hearted with him, only to have his heart literally ripped out by him.

"Showing such strong killing intent toward me, yet still wanting to laugh it off. Do you really think I'm easy to bully, Xiao San?" Nan Feihuang thought to himself. Since he wanted to turn from enemies into friends with him, fine! Then he would fulfill his wish.

For this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, Nan Feihuang decided that he would definitely do Tang San a favor—a big favor that would make Tang San feel deeply grateful to him.
