Translator: 549690339
Yang Zhen didn’t care whether you were irritated or not. In fact, if he knew that the crowd outside was furious, he wouldn’t stop what he was doing. Instead, he would probably turn to face them with the most innocent and sincere grin in the world, then ask them genuinely, “So, are you upset or not?”
And really, no wonder so many people on the Azure Planet wanted to become internet celebrities or star broadcasters. The feeling of being the center of attention was incredible, and Yang Zhen was having a blast.
Humming a tune, he chopped the Gale Sheep’s meat into small pieces with his Thunderbolt Sword.
“Buddies, it’s time to show off the sharpest slicing skills. Look at these meat chunks, look at this knife-work. Without a hundred years of chef’s experience you can’t do this!”
Yang Zhen cheerfully shared his work with his audience, even deliberately showing the neatly sliced meat under the water screen so everyone could see it clearly. It was a perfect blend of lean and fat, and even Yang Zhen himself was very pleased – the product of a Heaven-level high-grade weapon was indeed outstanding.
Outside the secret room, everyone was on the verge of madness. Some practitioners, who had the lesser patience, even messed up their meticulously styled hair in frustration, lamenting at the screen, “But… you’re using a sword, not kitchen knives – knife skills, cutting techniques – oh, cut the crap!” “This jerk, is he treating us like idiots? I think he’s not here to comprehend the Sky Crossing Void at all, but instead to make a joke!”
Flower Tower Master, Yang Zhen is messing around. Please arrest him.”
“Yes, such a rascal should be sliced into pieces. I can’t even look at mutton anymore.”
Lan Fangyue watched Hua Youyue with a mixed feeling of laughter and tears, unable to say a word.
Hua Youyue, however, seemed oblivious to the surrounding complaints, wearing a smile on her face. Her delicate eyes were curved like crescents as she said softly, “Let’s see what he’s up to.”
Medicine Elder shivered, casting a strange look at Hua Youyue.
The rest of the people also held their breaths, halting their complaints and fits of madness.
All practitioners in Flame City understood that Hua Youyue was angry now. The last person who had offended Hua Youyue and made her angry was currently just a head caught in the grass, prodded over and over again.
That guy Yang Zhen was really asking for trouble.
People started to calm down, looking at Yang Zhen with schadenfreude.
You like messing with us, right? Now you’re the one being played.
No one could save Yang Zhen now. Even if Hua Youyue wouldn’t touch him, the people at Changyue Tower wouldn’t let anyone who angered Hua Youyue off the hook.
Unless Yang Zhen could truly comprehend Sky Crossing Void, no matter how lucky he might be, he would not have an easy time in Flame City.
But strangely enough, even though Hua Youyue was clearly angry – which was a telltale sign of her anger – she didn’t immediately have Yang Zhen hauled out. Her eyes even showed a hint of curiosity, which left the crowd somewhat confused.
Could it be that Hua Youyue thought Yang Zhen could actually cook something
That so-called cumin mutton?
Impossible. Yang Zhen only had a sword and a piece of meat now, nothing else, unless he had a pan in his sack!
But even if he did have a pan, how was he going to start a fire?
Unconsciously, everyone started considering for Yang Zhen: without a pan and fire, how could Yang Zhen cook any delicious food?
The atmosphere on the scene became weird. And at that moment, Yang Zhen suddenly looked up and laughed.
“Some of you guys might be wondering, ’How can you cook with just a piece of meat?’, right? I’m asking you, right?”
All those who were just pondering the problem stumbled, staring at Yang Zhen in horror.
Are you a devil? Can you read minds?
No one noticed the smile that threatened to bubble forth from Hua Youyue’s lips under her veil.
Yang Zhen snapped his fingers and said, “The answer is right here!” With that, he moved a wooden table from behind him to the front with a bang. Everyone was stunned, their eyes wide with shock as they gazed at Yang Zhen in the water curtain, then all turned their heads in stupefaction to look at Hua Youyue.
Yang Zhen brought over a table made from the wood of the Chenhua tree, which naturally contained a rich amount of “wood spirit”; it was a very precious material. One could buy a house in Flame City with a table like this one.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, a sudden misgiving made Hua Youyue’s eyes twitch.
“See this table? What comes next is the real masterstroke. Fellows, better blink less, because if you do, you’re going to miss the most spectacular swordsmanship in the world!”
Yang Zhen was very satisfied with this wooden table. It was solid and fire-resistant and seemed easy to burn, full of wood spirit, durable and fire-last, the best material for barbecuing.
As he spoke, Yang Zhen reached out and picked up the Thunderbolt Sword lying next to him.
“Wha… what is he gonna do?!” Medicine Elder watched Yang Zhen in bewilderment, only to be startled once more, launching into a slew of expletives.
Buzz!
A dazzling burst of lightning erupted from the Thunderbolt Sword in Yang Zhen’s hand. Amid the buzzing, the whole secret chamber filled with ripples of shockwaves and surges of swordsmanship.
’Ts.Js that swordsmanship? My God, Yang Zhen is so young, yet he has already comprehended swordsmanship.”
Are you sure it’s swordsmanship, not sword aura?” someone asked incredulously: “Only after mastering a sword technique to the point of full proficiency and achieving a thorough comprehension of it, can one comprehend the swordsmanship in it. How many years could Yang Zhen practice, even if he started from his mother’s womb?”
“But it is swordsmanship! I’ve seen Sect Master Zun demonstrate swordsmanship. I absolutely cannot be wrong!”
A gleam flashed in Lan Fangyue’s eyes, and he asked Hua Youyue in surprise- “Tower Master, has Yang Zhen really understood swordsmanship?”
Hua Youyue nodded unexpectedly, a touch of curiosity in his eyes as he said- “It indeed is swordsmanship. Seems like Yang Zhen’s talent is not inferior to yours!”
“What?” Lan Fangyue was stunned as he looked at Yang Zhen in the water curtain.
-No way, that cheeky brat! He really chopped up the Chenhua wood table! This is such a waste of valuable resources!” Medicine Elder shrieked, pointing at Yang Zhen.
Boom!
In the water curtain, Yang Zhen’s sword came slashing down, and the table instantly scattered into fragments, filling the entire room.
What followed was the horrifying lightning burst from Yang Zhen’s Thunderbolt Sword, roared in the secret chamber like a thunderstorm, leaving everyone trembling with the dreadful might of heaven and earth.
“Such a powerful sword aura!”
Everyone was shocked to discover that Yang Zhen’s command of swordsmanship was significantly superior to others present, leaving everyone with incredulous expressions.
Yet such terrifying swordsmanship was used by Yang Zhen to chop firewood!
This was indeed a grave sin! What a waste of good things!
Yang Zhen laughed heartily: “How refreshing! My friends, did you see? This is the real swordsmanship, the firewood chopping technique, see these logs, these pieces of firewood?”
Everyone was too exasperated to retort.
“Go to hell with your knife technique! This clearly is a superior sword technique, how did it become a knife technique?”
Oh, my god, what is wrong with this jerk, Yang Zhen?
If Yang Zhen hadn’t been in the secret chamber, he probably would have been
“slain” countless times by the crowd.
However, what drove everyone to the edge of insanity was what happened next: Yang Zhen actually started a bonfire in the secret chamber and then set up a makeshift grill. He skewered some meat on a wood stick and benignly began to roast it.
He’s too outrageous, too boisterous!”
An elder in the crowd stared at Yang Zhen, incensed. He turned to Hua Youyue and said: “Tower Master, this Yang Zhen is doing whatever he pleases He shows no respect for any of us, and has no regard for Changyue Tower.. This inept old man volunteers to grab this scoundreL.and huh, what’s that delicious smell?”
