278: Chapter 230 278: Chapter 230 Jiang Tang thought of all those men and worried that they might not accept him as their teacher and waste a lot of his time, feeling that teaching was quite exhausting.
Not wanting to refuse Lin Dandan, he could only suggest:
“Need we bother?
They’re quite good already.
How about this!
I’ll give you a Secret Manual which you can practice according to, and you can copy it.”
“Secret Manual?
Jiang Tang, you have a Secret Manual of Blade Sect’s Cultivation Spells?” Lin Dandan was somewhat surprised, as their Blade Sect Lin Family within the Noble Clan had the most advanced Cultivation Techniques and Spells.
Compared to those lesser Noble Clans, of course, they weren’t on the same level.
Jiang Tang’s current Cultivation, having broke through to his current level in just over a month at such a young age, truly was mysterious.
For someone who could break through so easily, a Secret Manual given by him must be better than those of their four families.
No other family had someone who could make such rapid progress.
Indeed, among the Secret Manuals that Jiang Tang had obtained in the mystical Space, there was one from Blade Sect containing Cultivation Techniques and Spells.
He didn’t need it, having obtained it right after he was badly injured and during his recovery.
He couldn’t learn this kind of Cultivation Technique and Spell, because back then, he only had the Cultivation of Qi Refining Stage Seven, and this manual was only teachable to those above the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages.
Each stage had its unique Spells and Cultivation Techniques, and Jiang Tang set the Secret Manual aside, and as he kept advancing his own Cultivation, he didn’t need these kinds of Cultivation Spells.
With Jiang Tang’s current level of Cultivation, just one glance at the Secret Manual was enough to understand it without needing to study it any further.
Now, he was learning Spells that were needed for levels above Ocean Wheel.
However, he wasn’t going to give the actual Secret Manual from the mystical Space to Lin Dandan.
Instead, he used a Jade Slip to make a copy, handing over the copied Jade Slip to her, not the original one produced by the Space.
After all, things from that mystical Space were not to be shown to outsiders.
As Jiang Tang handed over the copied Secret Manual to Lin Dandan, she applied the Jade Slip to her forehead, imprinting its content in her mind, word for word.
Although she couldn’t grasp the content at once, she already knew it was stronger than the Cultivation Techniques and Spells of their family.
“Jiang Tang, thank you, thank you for this Secret Manual.
Will you want the Jade Slip back?”
A mischievous smile appeared on Jiang Tang’s lips as he said, “Considering my current level of Cultivation, do I still need such a manual?
You can keep the Jade Slip.
Helping a beauty in distress is my honor.”
“Haha, Jiang Tang, you’re really a true bro this time, thank you so much,” said Lin Dandan, slinging an arm around Jiang Tang’s shoulder.
“Ouch, Lin Dandan, I didn’t expect you to be so rough.
Aren’t you a bit like a tomboy?
Looks like you were just pretending before, huh?
Pretending to be meek,” Tang Yanhong said with an eye-roll.
“It’s obvious she’s not the ladylike type, knew she was faking it all along.
Did you see her brothers?
All brutes.
How could she be any different?” Dugu Yan’er chimed in.
“Right, such an actress,” Yuan Baozhu commented.
“I understand, she puts on this act for her own benefit,” Yun Duoduo remarked.
The women spoke one after another, revealing a slight sense of imbalance in their hearts.
“Is this jealousy I hear?” Lin Dandan retorted, unfazed by their words.
“Alright, let’s drop it.
Lin Dandan, I’ve given you the manual and now I’ll be leaving,” Jiang Tang said, ready to depart, causing Lin Dandan to panic.
“Jiang Tang, wait a minute.
I need to hand the manual over to the person in charge.
Plus, Dugu Yan’er’s brother is still out on the training ground, and I want to talk to you,” she said.
Jiang Tang nodded at Lin Dandan’s request.
Indeed, he had forgotten all about Dugu Yan’er’s brother and wondered how he was faring on the training ground.
Dugu Yan’er had just remembered her elder brother but wouldn’t admit to forgetting him, especially not in front of Jiang Tang or the other women.
When they reappeared on the training ground, Dugu Yan’er’s elder brother – having been tested by so many men, each challenging him in turn – was completely exhausted from the relentless series of fights and now sat on the ground to rest, while the men watched him with grins on their faces.
As Jiang Tang and the girls appeared once more, the spirit of the men on the training ground soared yet again.
“Hey, pretty boy, are you afraid to spar with us?
So what if you’re skilled in Martial Arts?”
One of them challenged fearlessly.
“You seem effeminate just by looking at you.
You might have high Cultivation, but who’s to say you’d fare any better than a woman in a fight?”
Another bearded man added.
“Hehe, pretty boy lives off his face!
Surrounded by so many women, I just don’t get it.
Do people only care about looks these days?”
“Pretty boy, you must be scared of us!
You don’t even dare to take us on,” another joined in.
The men on the scene spoke one by one, and sometimes two or more would speak at once, turning the place into a noisy marketplace, with the chatter more chaotic than that of sparrows.
In the midst of all these voices, Jiang Tang could still hear each word they said.
“I had intended to let you off easily, but seeing how much you seem to want a lesson from me, I’ll indulge you and let you experience a group battle,” he retorted.
Jiang Tang, definitely not one to back down from a challenge, could hardly keep his composure under the assault of so many.
Even a Deity would lose patience.
Moreover, it had been quite some time since he had picked on anyone, and now these men were practically begging for it, so he thought he might as well practice on them.
Back when he had lower Cultivation, he was challenged because others looked down on him.
Now that his Cultivation was high, being challenged in such a manner was preposterous.
