"That is to say." Yu Cang hesitated for a moment and then said with some uncertainty, "The four major families in the imperial capital... are showing favor to me?"
"Of course." Ren Zheng said matter-of-factly, "You are now the winner of the Yanhuang Medal, and you have also entered the vision of many Yanguo senior officials. It can be said that as long as you don't die young, you will definitely become the top existence of Yanguo, and you are still The status of the card maker who created the system is not much worse than that of a mythical soul card maker. Duan Feng may even come to you for help when he becomes a mythical person."
Ren Zheng picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip of water, and continued: "The four major families seem to be particularly obsessed with polishing Duan Feng's resume... I can't say whether this approach is good or not. Anyway, it is foreseeable. , if we don’t deal with the relationship with you, you will most likely become an indelible stain on Duan Feng’s life experience, so showing good will is inevitable.”
"...It's really interesting." Yu Cang didn't know what to say.
"Actually, the Duan family told me about this matter a few days after the major military reform, but I rejected it. Now that you have broken through to level five, they know about it again, so they come to visit you again. "Ren Zheng said, "This time, the conditions they gave are quite generous, so I'll ask you first."
Yu Cang blinked: "What are the conditions?"
"I won't talk about the money and some materials. It's quite a lot, but it's just tack-on. I suggest you don't ask for these. Just follow the facts." Ren Zheng paused and said, "The most important thing... is Tianmen Secret realm.”
Yu Cang's pupils shrank: "Tianmen?"
Ren Zheng nodded slowly: "Yes, mythical soul card, Tianmen."
This is the second myth in the history of Yan Kingdom, and it is also the most powerful one.
Its true abilities, story, and creation time are no longer known. We only know that Tianmen has been in a mutilated state since it was found by Emperor Changan, and can hardly be used in actual combat, but even so, it can still exert mythical-level abilities.
Today, there is a "Tianmen Secret Realm" in Tianmen, which contains almost all the spiritual beasts that have survived to this day.
The secret realm of Tianmen is isolated from everything, and the only exit from the outside world is Tianmen itself. Therefore, as long as it is properly controlled, it will not be afraid of the intrusion of Huang, and the remaining spirit beasts can live in it with peace of mind.
Therefore, although Tianmen cannot be used for combat, the Zhenguo in charge of Tianmen naturally has huge influence.
The current owner of Tianmen is named Ling.
Ling Luo Qiu Duan's Ling!
In the secret realm of Tianmen, there are crouching tigers, hidden dragons, ranging from ordinary and rare, to legendary, and even mythical beasts. This is a very terrifying force.
The ancestors of these spiritual beasts were each the overlords of their side in ancient times, but now they can only rely on humans to survive.
Their abilities are all kinds of weird. Card makers with almost all attributes can be satisfied here, and the rhythm is of extremely high quality. The most important thing is that it is 100% safe here. If you encounter any dangers, not to mention other things, those spiritual beasts No matter how hard you try, nothing will happen to you.
Human beings are injured in Tianmen, how can they still be as good as their spiritual beasts?
Therefore, the Tianmen Secret Realm can be regarded as one of the highest-standard secret realms in the Yan Kingdom.
Of course, the review of Tianmen Secret Realm is also very strict.
Spiritual beasts have almost no resistance to Huang. Previous experience has proved that as long as they encounter a little bit, no matter how powerful the spirit beast is, it will be defeated in this life.
Therefore, everyone who enters the Tianmen Secret Realm must go through numerous checks and undergo an absurdly long isolation assessment period before they can stay in the Tianmen Secret Realm for a short time.
Even if Yu Cang showed his identity as a Flame Emperor Medal recipient and Ren Zheng was helping behind the scenes, he might not be able to get this spot - after all, Yu Cang had frequent contact with Huang, and there was even someone like Qi'er around him.
Belonging is the scarcity of scarcity.
Ren Zheng can even say that even Duan Feng, who is held in the palm of the four major families, may have never entered the Tianmen Secret Realm... Because the Zhenguo named Ling is very principled. After getting the soul card, even if he is the Everyone in the family seemed to be indifferent, let alone Duan Feng next door.
But now, this opportunity was clearly placed in front of Yu Cang's eyes, and they didn't know how they got it.
Because the conditions given by the four major families clearly stated that Yu Cang could choose some areas that were not open to the public to visit, and even stay there as long as he wanted within a month, or live in them.
This treatment is ridiculously high! Not to mention Yu Cang, even Ren Zheng had never heard of using the Tianmen secret realm in this way.
That Ling Zhenguo can indeed do this... But just like Ren Zheng will not use his influence easily, the more he uses his influence, the less he will use it. If Yu Cang is given an "outsider", I am afraid that the four major families will be indispensable. It has to be done up and down.
Yu Cang opened his mouth but said nothing.
For him, this condition was extremely tempting.
And it was just a duel, and he was not asked to do anything excessive.
Yu Cang was a little confused for a moment.
It turns out that before I knew it, my worth was already so high.
Can you get so many things from just one game?
Thinking of this, Yu Cang said: "Then, do I have to lose to Duan Feng in the duel?"
You have to let it go... maybe you have to put on an acting show to make Duan Feng look more handsome when he wins.
Otherwise, he would not feel at ease with the money (no).
"No need." Ren Zheng shook his head, "They may not have thought about the possibility of Duan Feng losing, so they didn't mention it, and it's not important. No matter what the outcome of the duel between you and Duan Feng is, they will definitely have corresponding plans. Rhetoric.”
Yu Cang huffed.
Is there such a good thing?
Spend a lot of money to invite yourself to a duel, and you don’t need to fake the match yourself. No matter you win or lose, you can get tickets to the Tianmen Secret Realm?
Ren Zheng: "...what's your expression?"
"It's nothing, what's wrong?"
"Xiao Cang, it's not me who's attacking you." Ren Zheng sighed, "If it were a normal duel... you might really not be able to defeat this peak."
"Oh?" Yu Cang became interested, "How do you say it?"
"You should know that Duan Feng's talent is the same as Emperor Shinhwa's talent back then."
"I heard something." Yu Cang nodded.
But he didn't know what it was exactly.
Although Emperor Shinhwa is already a household name, his specific combat power, deck talents, etc. are definitely kept secret, and it is impossible to let everyone know in a big way.
Even the fact that Duan Feng and Emperor Shinhwa's talents are the same, Yu Cang obtained the information after a long time of research, and he still doesn't know whether it is true or not... because it is very likely that the Emperor's Shinhwa talent known by the four major families is also fake.
But in short, it is certain that Duan Feng has a "mythical appearance".
Ren Zheng was very straightforward and had nothing to hide. He said directly: "Duan Feng's talent is called the 'Spirit of Symbiosis'. Looking at history, it can be said to be one of the talents that has the most blessings in combat. As for whether it is the same as the Emperor's Mythology ...Don’t ask about this, even I don’t know.”
Yu Cang nodded: "Understood."
Ren Zheng explained: "People with the talent of symbiosis soul are born with a 'companion soul'. This companion soul can only be seen by the owner, but it can be directly affected by various soul cards. I even heard that some people will This talent has been trained to the extreme, and it can directly make the accompanying soul appear, which in turn affects other soul cards."
Yu Cang rubbed his chin and fell into thought.
Ren Zheng continued: "Each companion soul also has its own abilities - even talents have their own talents. How does this work? Forget about these, there is one more thing, the companion soul can help the host share the mental pressure. In other words, Duan Feng's mental stress limit is at least twice that of the same level. In the case of equal fighting, you have reached the mental stress limit and have no soul energy at all, but others can continue to fight normally. How can you fight? "
"It's really hard to fight." Yu Cang thought thoughtfully.
"Unless you can print a piece of legend on the spot like you did in the Snow Mountain, otherwise even if you use the mechanical system in its heyday, it may overturn." Ren Zheng shook his head, "But you also said that such an opportunity is rare. .”
Yu Cang clicked his tongue lightly.
"Okay, I understand, old man." He stood up, "Is there anything else?"
"No, that's why I called you here."
"Then tell them that I agree to the duel." Yu Cang showed a smile, "Let's arrange it as soon as possible, otherwise, I may leave the ancient capital for a while."
Grandmaster Yun Yan often chats with me these days and introduces him to their secret realm.
He has been looking forward to it for a long time.
"Okay." Ren Zheng nodded.
Turning around, Yu Cang left the principal's office.
Got a good business deal.
To be honest, he didn't have the same obsession with this former senior as he did with Wu Chutai. When he first participated in the college league, he simply wanted to beat him up.
But...if they accidentally win by then, they probably won't regret it.
…
imperial capital
A certain reception room.
Wu Chutai clenched his teeth and his eyes widened, filled with clearly visible bloodshot eyes.
He stared at the figure across the reception table, the disbelief in his eyes clearly visible.
"W-what did you say?"
"Mr. Wu." The figure in the suit said calmly with a formulaic smile, "I have repeated it three times. I think what I repeated is clear enough."
"But this is impossible!" Wu Chutai stood up excitedly, "I have given Duan Feng so many achievements! I designed his deck myself, and even the results of the major armament reform that I have been preparing for several years have been handed over to others. , how could you stop my resources just by saying stop?"
The smile on the face of the figure in the suit faded slightly. He looked at the excited old man in front of him, his eyes gradually became cold, and after a while, he snorted: "I don't understand."
Wu Chutai glared: "You!"
"Mr. Wu, it seems that you still don't understand what I mean." He still sat on the chair and said word by word in the most standard Mandarin: "Mr. Wu, you want to use your status as a mentor to seize Yu Cang's achievements. , and put the blame on Duan Feng. Now that the matter has been exposed, we have decided to immediately stop all your resources and hold the relevant responsibilities accountable. As for the results you mentioned above - they were all obtained by Duan Feng's own research and are not There is a gift relationship, and I hope you understand that and remember that.”
He raised his head slightly, and the light flashed through his glasses, making Wu Chutai unable to see his eyes clearly. Wu Chutai didn't understand how this man could say these words in such a confident tone, as if this was the truth of the matter.
Wu Chutai's lips trembled, and he wanted to utter a few words to refute, but the emphasis on the word "remember" by the man in the suit suddenly made him sober up.
Refutation...what's the use of refutation.
What they decide is, to him, the fact itself.
After trembling for a while, he said unwillingly: "I...I want to see the head of the Duan family..."
"This is what the master of the family means."
As soon as he said these words, Wu Chutai seemed to have all his strength taken away from him in an instant. He sat back on the sofa, his eyes dull, and he fell into a long silence.
Seeing this, the man in the suit smiled.
"It seems you have remembered." He stood up, "There will be someone to deal with your affairs later. Don't forget what you should remember."
After that, he turned around and walked out of the room without looking back.
In the room, Wu Chutai did not move. He slumped on the sofa, his eyes unwavering.
Why……
correct.
Yu Cang.
He said Yu Cang!
Wu Chutai's face was ashen.
On the day of the major military reform, he left early because of humiliation, so he did not see Yu Cang being awarded the Flame Emperor Medal. Naturally, his students would not take the initiative to tell him or cause trouble for him.
By the time he found out about it, it was too late.
Everything from him has been taken away.
Yu Cang...
That's the Flame Emperor Medal!
Without this news, he would only think that Yu Cang was a guy who was good at taking advantage of situations, and relied on Ren Zheng and some other backgrounds to defeat him.
If that were the case, he wouldn't be in such a miserable state.
His skills are just inferior to those of others.
But now that Yu Cang has received the Flame Emperor Medal, the nature is different.
The Flame Emperor Medal will not be awarded to you just because of how powerful you are. If you want this medal, it means that you must show corresponding results and strength. And with the weight of this medal, a prototype of the mechanical system alone will not be awarded to you. It’s not qualified!
Yu Cang, what have you done in the year since you left him...
Can people really do these things with talent?
His eyes suddenly fluctuated.
At this moment, he hated Cang deeply, but he had to admit that behind the resentment... a touch of envy could not be erased no matter what.
How wonderful... She is so talented and talented that she doesn't care about anything and can use her strength to get anything.
When did he... throw away these mentality?
suddenly.
The door was pushed open.
There was a figure standing at the door, but he didn't come in.
Wu Chutai's eyes fluctuated slightly. He recognized the person, but he did not speak.
Hu Chen spoke: "Wu Chutai, I submitted an application to change my tutor yesterday, and the school approved it a year ago."
Wu Chutai: "..."
so good.
The application submitted yesterday was approved a year ago.
A year ago, nothing like this happened.
Hu Chen was not affected at all.
He knew that Hu Chen's family was very rich, but they were just rich and had no power. It would probably take a lot of effort to achieve this.
It doesn't matter, it has nothing to do with him. Literally, it didn't matter a year ago.
He waved his hand, indicating that he already knew.
So Hu Chen turned around and left without any nostalgia.
Wu Chutai didn't say anything.
Hu Chen at least came over to talk to him in person.
As for the others——
Next to him, Wu Chutai's personal terminal kept ringing. He glanced at it with his peripheral vision, and he could recognize it without looking carefully. I am afraid that all the information above was to disown the relationship.
Two and a half years ago, Duan Feng joined his laboratory, and earlier than that, the Duan family had already selected him, so over the years, the students he has accepted have more or less come with other intentions.
...Thinking about it this way, Yu Cang is probably the only student with a simple mind.
These students all have their own backgrounds, and it is difficult for them to separate themselves, but it is not difficult to do so.
I... am already alone.
Wu Chutai continued to slump on the sofa and slowly closed his eyes.
Somewhat tired.
suddenly.
He heard footsteps coming from outside the door.
Hu Chen didn't open the door when he left, so the footsteps walked straight in and stood in front of Wu Chutai.
Then he opened his eyes again...it was Wen Yang.
Wu Chutai's eyes fluctuated slightly.
Wen Yang, among his students, is a rare person with no background.
He didn't know where he heard about Duan Feng's half-claw, so he followed the clues and found the door. He tried all kinds of means, even a little humble, before he accepted him and boarded Duan Feng's ship.
Wu Chutai knew from the beginning that Wen Yang was a snobbish person who had a strong purpose in whatever he did.
Someone like Yu Cang might not like it, but Wu Chutai doesn't.
It is people like this who can make him realize how right and pleasant it was to give up that ridiculous persistence when he was young.
Originally, Yu Cang would also be his means of obtaining pleasure.
"What are you doing here?" Wu Chutai didn't want to pay attention to him.
Is there any need to say what a person like Wen Yang would do in this situation?
Everyone else has a background and can get away with it, but he is the only one with a very shallow background. He must be here to squeeze out the last bit of value from himself and stop losses as much as possible.
"Get lost," he said.
But Wen Yang seemed not to hear it and placed several sets of documents in his hands on the table.
He said seriously: "Teacher, now that all the brothers and sisters have left, our situation is very unfavorable. We have no time to stay like this anymore. We must take the initiative!"
There was a slight change in Wu Chutai's eyes.
Wen Yang's words... why were they different from what he imagined?
While he was stunned, Wen Yang continued: "Teacher, I have analyzed the four families of Lingluo and Qiuduan. Although their power has been at its peak in recent years, due to their barbaric growth, they have secretly offended many other families. There may be strength in this that we can draw on.
"Ignore the small families that have declined for the time being. For this plan, we must get the support of the Wang family."
Wen Yang placed several documents on the table. Wu Chutai looked at them and saw that there were many annotations densely packed on them.
"Although the Wang family has kept a low profile in recent years, their power is still not weak, and their next heir has a good relationship with Yu Cang. He expressed dissatisfaction with the four major families back then, so he is someone who can be won over. All we need is..."
Wen Yang laid out some information and talked eloquently, his expression remained calm and there was no sign of panic.
Wu Chutai was stunned when he saw it.
Suddenly, he didn't know where the strength came from, and interrupted Wen Yang's explanation: "Stop dreaming!"
Wu Chutai sat up and slapped his hands on the table: "You said you can win over the Wang family if you can? Who do you think you are?"
"..."
Wen Yang made a move.
After a while, he raised his head and looked directly into Wu Chutai's eyes: "Of course I am Wen Yang - teacher. Back then, my talent, personality, and talents were mediocre. How did you allow me to join your laboratory in the first place? ?”
Wu Chutai: "..."
"I can think of a way, no matter how humble it is." Wen Yang said firmly, "It depends on people, teacher - and we also have bargaining chips."
Wen Yang took out several documents and placed them in front of Wu Chutai.
"These are the evidences I have collected. With these, it is enough to prove that Duan Feng has been committing academic fraud in recent years and sucking the teacher's blood. Moreover, in private, he is definitely not as perfect as the character run by his family. As long as he does well Operation, relying on these is enough..."
"Wen Yang!" shouted loudly.
Wen Yang paused. He raised his head and saw Wu Chutai looking at him with a livid face.
"Do you know what you are doing?" Wu Chutai panicked.
If he calmly accepts his arranged ending as he does now, then although his career will be ruined, at least he will not have any trouble in his later years. Even when the limelight passes, he can be more shameless and regain the protection of the Duan family. It's just that you can't show your face.
But if the Duan family discovers that they are collecting evidence to bring down Duan Feng——
You may not even think of what will happen.
"I'm gathering evidence."
"That's enough!" Wu Chutai suddenly stood up. He pointed at Wen Yang, his fingers trembling slightly, "Do you think your little tricks can be hidden from the Duan family? Do you think you are the only smart person in this world? Their family The cause is great, but your little tricks and thoughts are all leftovers from what they did decades ago! You have only lived a few years, and you want to fight with a group of old foxes? Can you fight them? "
Wen Yang frowned, he thought for a moment and said:
"Why can't I fight - I haven't tried yet and I haven't failed."
"You-" Wu Chutai was about to say a curse word, but when his eyes met Wen Yang's, he was suddenly stunned.
Wen Yang's eyes were firm and confident, without any hesitation.
This look... is so familiar.
The self who was unrepentant back then and insisted on using his talents to break the monopoly of the big family could see this look in his eyes every time he looked in the mirror.
It was the same look Yu Cang had every time he told himself that he didn't need to take him to participate in any projects, and that he would rely on his own hands to create results that satisfied him.
Wu Chutai's fingers trembled.
He realized something.
Even if Wen Yang is extremely snobbish, extremely purposeful, and profit-oriented, even if he doesn't look like a student at all, in the final analysis.
He is also a... young man.
Even if Wen Yang once knelt down to him in order to join the laboratory, even if he was extremely flattering in order to participate in a project... he still had his own pride.
He still wants to take his own path to the end step by step and rely on his own strength.
Wu Chutai used to feel that Yu Cang was like himself before being hit, and Wen Yang was like himself after transformation.
But now it seems that they are just them, the kind of people that I despise most now.
He looked at Wen Yang, his lips trembling, and suddenly, a fierceness filled his eyes.
"Get out!" He yelled, "I don't have you as a disciple! From today on, we have no relationship...and your stupid achievements, take them with me when you get out, you know? I Putting your name on those achievements is an insult to my reputation! Pack up your achievements and get out of this door. If you dare to appear in front of me again, I will...beat you to death!"
Wen Yang frowned, clenched his fists, and suddenly said: "Teacher, what are you doing? I don't want to regret the decision I made!"
"..."
"I am your student after all."
"Shut up!" Wu Chutai waved his hand, and all the documents on the table were swept away by him, "You still want to collect evidence under the hands of the Duan family? It's ridiculous...stealing the evidence I worked so hard to collect, right? Do you want to use this to claim credit from the Duan family? Don’t even think about it, get out of here!”
Wen Yang fell silent.
After a while, he took a deep look at Wu Chutai, his eyes extremely complicated.
Turn around.
"...Wen Yang." Wu Chutai stopped him, "Huh... A scum like you will definitely go to my nemesis Zhu Yuandong after you leave me, right? Huh, I don't know why, but he treats you so unkindly If you are so interested in his results, I warn you, if you go to him, even if you can use his power, don't appear in front of me again!"
Wen Yang: "..."
His fists clenched quietly.
After a moment of silence, he also left.
In the room, Wu Chutai collapsed weakly on the sofa.
"...It's over." He carefully recalled Wen Yang's every move after entering the room.
Haha...Is this your method?
You have no background, so you rely on this childish method to try to get yourself out of trouble for you?
Hahahaha... It seems like something you can do.
But forget it.
Even if there is a slight possibility that Wen Yang's performance just now is true... then just treat it as true.
It’s so good to be young…
If possible, stay young.
