Chapter 138: Traditional Kuaiban Not Only Blows Up the Stage, But Also Makes People Pass Out from Hype?

Seeing the atmosphere on site had already risen, Su Meng nodded secretly and pulled the topic back.

"Your Master said it's fine if you embarrass yourself—your skin's thick anyway—but the craft of Kuaibanzhe Sect can't be embarrassed!"

"Master really does understand me! So what do we do?"

"So your Master has dispatched a top-tier Kuaiban expert to properly show off the craft."

"Really? Where is that expert?"

"That expert is handsome, dashing, debonair and gallant—standing on this stage he shines with radiant brilliance. You know who it is now, don't you?"

"Aiya, Master is too kind, I'm embarrassed."

"Liu Tianxian, bring me my forty-meter broadsword… and don't bother with the ladder!"

"Bro, I was wrong—it's you, it's you, it's you! You're handsome, dashing, debonair and gallant, alright?"

"That's more like it. Your eyes may be small, but at least they're not blind."

"Then bro, which piece is this top-tier expert of yours preparing to perform?"

"Since you stumbled on traditional Kuaiban, I naturally have to win my face back with traditional Kuaiban—so let's do a piece called 'Red Willow Tower.' Folks, do you want to hear it? Or do you want to hear it? Or do you want to hear it?"

"We want to hear it!" The audience below gave face too, shouting in unison.

Although it was traditional Kuaiban, this was Su Meng singing it!

As long as Su Meng is the one singing, we love listening!

……

"'Red Willow Tower'?" Inside the Deyun Society, quite a few people cried out in surprise.

Even Guo Dagang and Uncle Yu looked thoroughly taken aback.

You have to know, this Kuaiban routine was a tongue-twister, famous for its extreme difficulty.

Even if you pulled out this many people from the Deyun Society, hardly any could sing it through completely and accurately.

Let alone sing it well and with flavor.

This Su Meng actually wants to challenge 'Red Willow Tower'?

Guo Dagang deliberated for a moment, then said slowly.

"Gao Feng, your Kuaiban skill is the highest here."

"In a while, listen carefully and see how his work is."

……

At Shi Fukuan's home, the old man sat back down.

The rage on his face had already faded quite a bit.

"'Red Willow Tower'? He really dares to pick it."

"Then let me see just how much skill you've actually got…"

……

On stage, Su Meng had already pulled his stance back open.

"When it rains in the sky and flows on the ground, summer goes and winter comes—there is an end."

"The great swallows fly south knowing warmth and cold, sun and moon take turns yet wander on their own."

"What I'm saying is, on the west bank of Haihe, at the head of the willow grove, a brand-new Red Willow Tower was just built…"

Although it was completely serious traditional Kuaiban, quite a few audience members who had been looking forward to Su Meng pulling something off were a bit surprised.

But Su Meng sang it clearly and beautifully, full of flavor—and that made everyone listen seriously all the way through.

The earlier parts of this routine were still manageable, but the later lyrics were all sorts of tongue-twisters.

Yet when Su Meng spoke them, every word came out clear.

"On that very day, this Old Qiu Tou wanted to use his slippery-slimy, black-as-pitch black loach to trade with Old Liu Tou for his flat-brained, flat-headed, flat-nosed, flat-beaked, flat-Bai Bai-flat flat turtledove."

"Old Liu Tou heard it, flattened his head, and said he wasn't willing—using my flat-brained, flat-headed, flat-nosed, flat-beaked, flat-Bai Bai-flat flat turtledove to trade for your slippery-slimy, black-as-pitch black loach…"

This long string of lyrics came out in one breath, and Su Meng's breath didn't falter in the slightest, as if he didn't need to breathe at all.

But countless viewers at the scene and in the livestream subconsciously held their breath.

Only after this long string was finished did they let out a long breath—then realized their lungs were about to burst and their heads felt a bit dizzy.

"…only then did he know it was because: a dog bites the monkey, the monkey scratches the dog; the dog bumps Old Liu, Liu fights the dog; the fight didn't catch the dog but caught Old Ox; the fight caught Old Ox and Old Ox roared; the ox's roar scared the monkey trembling; that bald-tailed monkey then knocked over a vat of black loach, climbed the willow tree, and released six flat-brained, flat-headed, flat-nosed, flat-beaked, flat-Bai Bai-flat flat turtledoves…"

"Good!"

"Awesome! (voice crack)"

"Brother Su Meng is amazing!"

"Su Meng is great! Su Meng is fierce!"

Another long string of extremely high-difficulty tongue-twisters—listening to it made the convention center explode on the spot.

Countless people screamed and shouted wildly.
