Chapter 0576 Ninja Duel

Seeing the Left and Right Protectors wavering, Luo Yang further breached their psychological defenses.

"We are a family. You should tell me everything and not hide anything from me. If you do and I get hurt or die later, wouldn't you feel guilty?" Luo Yang appealed to their reason.

Sure enough, the Right Protector sighed deeply and revealed what he knew.

The Left Protector could no longer stop him.

Before speaking, the Left and Right Protectors seemed worried about being overheard by others.

"Brother, it's not convenient to speak here. People keep passing by us, and if they overhear and spread the word, that would be bad," the Right Protector said.

"Follow me, let's go talk on the embankment of the water channel," Luo Yang called out.

He then led the Left and Right Protectors along a small path toward the irrigation channel.

It wasn't long before they reached the earthen embankment of the channel.

Standing on the embankment and looking around, one could see clusters of houses scattered neatly around the fields, in the woods, or by the streams, forming a tranquil and peaceful rural landscape.

The rising sun cast a gentle light across the land while the autumn breeze lightly caressed them, truly refreshing the mind and spirit.

Villagers were working in the fields, adding liveliness to the earth.

There were only Luo Yang and the Left and Right Protectors on the embankment, with no one else within a hundred meters.

"Old Du, Old Heng, now we can talk," Luo Yang said as he lit a cigarette.

The Left and Right Protectors looked at each other and nodded.

Then the Right Protector shared with Luo Yang the most dreadful thing about Ying Zhao Yan Xing Sect.

After listening, Luo Yang exhales a long puff of smoke.

"Does Qi Dongqiu dare to do that?" Luo Yang asked.

"Brother, based on our understanding of Qi Dongqiu, he would do it unless he personally defeats you," the Right Protector answered.

"They at Yingyan Martial Arts School have no martial virtue, I must take down their signboard," Luo Yang declared resolutely.

Which meant, he would not negotiate peace with Qi Dongqiu and Qi Xiangtian.

Just then, Luo Yang's phone rang.

"only you, can take me to obtain the Journey to the West..."

On this bright and sunny morning, hearing this comical ringtone, Luo Yang's expression grew more solemn.

He saw the caller ID and his face turned furious.

The Left and Right Protectors didn't know who was calling.

Actually, it was no one else but Mr. Shen, the translator.

In the last ring match, Luo Yang had beaten two ninjas into a pathetic state.

Without even answering the call, Luo Yang guessed those ninjas couldn't swallow their defeat and wanted another challenge.

As soon as the call connected, Luo Yang said coldly, "What do you want?"

Mr. Shen responded, "Mr. Luo, hello. It's like this, Mr. Yiye is not satisfied with the last result and would like to experience your skills again."

Luo Yang scoffed, "Bring it on, and next time bring some stronger ninjas."

At that moment, Japanese could be heard on the other end of the phone, it was evident that Mr. Shen was communicating with someone.

From the voice, it was clear the person beside Mr. Shen was agitated.

Then Mr. Shen said again, "Mr. Luo, Mr. Yiye says that you are not strong, your winning was because you haven't met a true master yet."

That statement was somewhat irritating.

But it was also a relatively close reflection of the truth.

Luo Yang's current martial arts skills were better than some but not top-notch.

If he mastered all the martial arts and sword techniques from the Shennong Scripture's painting in the stone cave, he would become a top-notch master.

Unfortunately, he hadn't broken through the Third Level of Shadow Fist, and he had only mastered the First Layer of the Shadowless Kick.

He hadn't even practiced swordsmanship yet, and the key issue was not knowing where to find a good sword.

Practicing with a kitchen knife probably wouldn't be very effective.

Luo Yang hummed softly and said, "Then tell them to bring someone stronger than me for a real fight!"

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Shen continued to converse in Japanese with Yiye Bupo.

Last time, Mr. Yiye brought two ninjas, namely Kui tou Xiong er and Nagasaki Hayashi.

Kui tou Xiong er's strength was that of a Jonin Ninja, while Nagasaki Hayashi was a Third Class Chunin.

In the ninja ranks, those who frequently appear in battle are generally Genin and Chunin. Once one reaches the level of Jonin, they don't partake in ordinary missions.

Only in the face of particularly troublesome matters would a Jonin possibly make a personal appearance to resolve the issues.

A Chunin-level ninja is equivalent to a contestant with world-class free combat skills.

A Jonin has begun to glimpse the mysteries of the Five Elements Technique.

To put it more clearly, a ninja who has cultivated to the level of Jonin, just like a Taoist who has learned to cultivate, possesses certain extraordinary abilities.

After a while, Mr. Shen said, "Mr. Luo, Mr. Yiye would like to meet you. It will only benefit you, not harm you."

Luo Yang scoffed, "Get lost! I don't want to meet with you guys!"

However, Mr. Shen said something that made Luo Yang reconsider.

"Mr. Luo, don't you want to know the secret of Mu Tan? Mr. Yiye is willing to have a chat with you. How about that?" Mr. Shen said.

Indeed, Luo Yang had always wanted to uncover the unspeakable secrets hidden within the one-foot-square piece of charcoal.

It must be noted that even Hong Jiaxin's parents refused to tell their daughter, indicating the secret was incredibly terrifying.

As long as the secret of the charcoal was uncovered, other issues might also become resolvable.

"Where shall we meet?" Luo Yang asked coldly.

"Mr. Yiye suggests, to show sincerity, that you choose the place to meet," Mr. Shen said.

In the county town, the place Luo Yang felt most confident in was the International Hotel.

The hotel's owner was familiar with Luo Yang.

"Then you go to the International Hotel, once you arrive, wait for me there," Luo Yang said indifferently.

"Good, we'll discuss more when we meet," Mr. Shen replied humbly.

After hanging up, Luo Yang tossed his cigarette butt down and stomped it out with his foot.

The Left Protector asked, "Young master, do you need us to help with anything?"

With Luo Yang's guidance, they had advanced in martial arts,

But they hadn't actually done anything for Luo Yang, and feeling undeserving of their rewards, the Left and Right Protectors were uneasy.

In fact, Luo Yang had plenty of tasks for them to do, and just wanted them to relax for the time being.

"Not now, in a few days, the apprentices from the county town dojo and the village martial arts training ground will be taught by you respectively. Are you willing?" Luo Yang asked.

"It would be our honor to help you, young master," the Right Protector answered.

Then the three of them left the mud embankment of the water channel.

The Left and Right Protectors went home to make breakfast, while Luo Yang went to visit his parents' home.

Recently, his younger brother had stayed home to review his studies and seldom went out.

His parents were quite busy with building a new house.

Luo Yang stopped by to ask if they needed help, and finding nothing pressing, he headed to Qin Piao's house.

Hong Jiaxin was reviewing examination material in her room, preparing for an exam in the county town that afternoon.

Shuang Qiao, Shi Yun, and other beauties accompanied Fang Lin to visit Luo Yang's fish pond and vegetable patch.

When Luo Yang returned to Qin Piao's house, went upstairs, and knocked on Hong Jiaxin's door, only then did he find out that Suyun was also there.

She must have come over in the morning.

"Teacher Su," Luo Yang greeted as he entered.

Suyun, also revising exam content, said, "Luo Yang, you are taking the exam with us this afternoon, aren't you?"

"Yes."

For Luo Yang, who possessed X-Ray Ability, a simple glance heated up his body temperature.

Suyun and Hong Jiaxin both sat on the bed where Luo Yang had also slept.

That night, just after helping Suyun stabilize her Qi Force between her shoulders, Luo Yang had held her to sleep all night.

Since then, Suyun always had a shy look in her eyes whenever she saw Luo Yang.
