Zhang Chulan VS Feng Baobao

Xu San and Xu Si were also staring at Feng Baobao in shock, saying:

"Baobao! What do you mean, you knew all along? No, you knew all along, so why didn't you say something earlier?"

Feng Baobao looked at the two of them, scratched her head, and said:

"I did say it! I already told you before!

San'er, that night at the cemetery after we ran into Zhang Chulan, I told you right then."

At this, Xu San broke out in a cold sweat and said:

"No, Baobao, when did you say that? At the time, you just said he wasn't an ordinary person, that he was hiding... his... strength!"

As soon as he said this, Feng Baobao nodded frantically, indicating that was exactly what she had said.

However, seeing this, Zhang Chulan and Xu Si both fell silent.

After a long while, Zhang Chulan slowly uttered a sentence:

"That's very Sister Bao'er!"

And at that moment, Xu Si burst out laughing, slapping Xu San on the shoulder, and said:

"Hahaha, hahaha! San'er, looks like your comprehension skills still aren't up to par!"

Xu San said irritably, "Get lost, Xu Si. I'm telling you, this matter was my mistake.

I took Baobao's words to mean he was hiding his supernatural ability, not his actual formidable strength.

Anyway, from now on, Baobao, don't go spouting nonsense, got it?"

Feng Baobao nodded.

And then, Xu Si spoke up:

"Alright, stop wasting time here. Let's go, try your hand against this kid Chulan.

Don't let it get to the point where we still can't figure out Chulan's real strength, and end up making fools of ourselves!"

Soon, the group arrived at a previous training ground.

And at that moment, a short blade slid out of Feng Baobao's sleeve and landed in her hand.

On the other side, Zhang Chulan, upon seeing this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he crooked his finger at Feng Baobao.

"Come on! Feng Baobao, let me show you what I've got!"

At this, Feng Baobao didn't say a word and directly swung a slash.

In an instant, a blade aura shot straight toward Zhang Chulan.

Seeing this, Zhang Chulan didn't take it head-on. Instead, he stepped forward, his entire body like a ghost, instantly dodging the slash.

After Feng Baobao saw this, she charged straight at Zhang Chulan.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the two bystanders, Zhang Chulan darted left and right, even leaping and twisting in midair, dodging with extreme precision.

For a time, Feng Baobao's blade couldn't land a single hit on him.

What's more, Zhang Chulan wore an utterly relaxed expression, even leaping up onto a tree in one bound, more agile than a monkey.

Seeing this, Xu San and Xu Si were both stunned, their mouths hanging open.

After a long while, Xu Si turned to Xu San and said:

"No way, Xu San, you've been investigating for so long, how come you don't know anything?

Zhang Chulan's lightness skill is this incredible, and you had no idea? What have you even been doing?"

Xu San, upon hearing this, didn't answer. He just stared at the scene, equally shocked.

"This... I don't know either! Zhang Chulan never revealed that he was a supernatural being.

He hasn't been active all these years, and anyone who practices this kind of lightness skill can usually be spotted to some extent.

But Zhang Chulan? You can't tell at all. If he didn't show it, you'd never know he had this kind of lightness skill.

This is absolutely baffling!!!"

If Jiang Zhen had heard this exchange between the two brothers, he would have rolled his eyes and laughed right back at them.

After all, regarding Zhang Chulan's Prosperous Steps, he knew a thing or two.

This lightness skill, like Yangzhou Slow, if you don't use it, you can't detect a thing.

Maybe Yangzhou Slow can still be sensed a little, but the lightness skill can't.

Otherwise, that guy Li Lianhua, wandering the martial world for so long, had run into plenty of experts, even old acquaintances, and none of them could tell from his footsteps that he possessed such a powerful lightness skill.

They couldn't even detect the Internal Energy of Yangzhou Slow. Part of that was because he couldn't use his Internal Energy, but still, plenty of people had taken his pulse and couldn't discern the specifics of his Internal Energy.

That alone proves that Yangzhou Slow has a powerful concealment ability.

Xu San and Xu Si, those two idiots, wanted to dig up some information on Zhang Chulan from that? How could they possibly succeed?

Only a freak like Feng Baobao, with her powerful perception, could sense something unusual about Zhang Chulan.

This chase went on for over ten minutes, and Feng Baobao still hadn't even touched the corner of Zhang Chulan's clothes.

At that moment, Xu Si shouted from afar:

"Zhang Chulan, you little bastard, stop dodging! Are you planning to win this match just by running away?"

Hearing this, Zhang Chulan flipped over, dodging a slash from Feng Baobao, then swiftly darted past her.

He landed on a large tree behind Baobao in the distance.

Then, Zhang Chulan slowly spoke:

"Sister Bao'er, be careful now. I'm going on the offensive!"

As his words fell, Zhang Chulan's right hand swept across his belt at his waist.

A crisp sound rang out.

"Clang..."

Then, another clear noise followed as a purple soft sword was drawn from his belt.

The purple soft sword shimmered with faint purple mist rising from its blade.

Xu Si: "Holy shit! A soft sword! You know swordsmanship too, kid?"

Zhang Chulan grinned, but his eyes were fixed on Feng Baobao as he said:

"Sister Bao'er, this sword is called the Ziwei Soft Sword. I got it from a friend of mine.

Be careful—it's extremely sharp!!!"

Of course, Zhang Chulan was lying through his teeth. He had bought it from the System Mall for two hundred Chat Points.

It was the Ziwei Soft Sword mentioned in The Return of the Condor Heroes, a blade no weaker than the Mysterious Iron Heavy Sword, and even sharper than Ling Lianhua's sword forged from celestial iron.

Hearing this, Feng Baobao's eyes sparkled as she stared at the sword in Zhang Chulan's hand, then nodded.

But she also raised her own blade and said:

"This knife was forged for me by Xu Si. He said it's incredibly sharp in my hands and named it Okamoto Zero Point Zero One!"

At that, Zhang Chulan's eyes went wide.

"Wait, Sister Bao'er, what did you say that knife is called?"

Feng Baobao: "Xu Si said it's called Okamoto Zero Point Zero One..."

Zhang Chulan's mouth twitched. He looked to the side and saw Xu San, face burning with rage, shouting:

"Xu Si, what the hell did you teach Baobao?"

Xu Si waved his hand with an awkward grin. "I was just joking! Who knew she'd take it seriously? Kidding, kidding!"

But then Feng Baobao continued:

"That's not all. Xu Si also named a bunch of my moves. Perfect timing—we can try them out!"

Zhang Chulan's eyes lit up. "Really, Sister Bao'er? That's great! My complete sword technique is called the Xiangyi Tai Sword.

Perfect—let's spar!"

With that, Zhang Chulan struck, the Ziwei Soft Sword in his hand flashing out.

In an instant, sword light blazed as it clashed with Feng Baobao's blade, and the two began fighting fiercely on the spot.

Then, Zhang Chulan suddenly leaped into the air and shouted:

"Baobao, watch out! Take this move: Last Night's East Wind in the Small Tower!"

As his words fell, Zhang Chulan zipped around at incredible speed, continuously striking at Feng Baobao.

Feng Baobao, unfazed, kept slashing with her short blade.

After blocking that strike, she mimicked Zhang Chulan and said:

"Zhang Chulan, take my Guanyin Sits on the Lotus..."

"And the Solitary Dragon Drill!"

For a moment, Zhang Chulan was stunned by the names, staring at Feng Baobao in disbelief, forgetting he was in the middle of a fight.

Still, he managed to dodge using the Prosperous Steps.

"Stop, stop, stop! Sister Bao'er, pause! I have some questions..."

At that moment, Xu San dragged Xu Si over, his face dark as pitch, and said:

"Yeah! I have questions too!"

"Baobao, what are all your move names?"

Feng Baobao looked blank, not understanding, and said:

"The full set is called Ah Wei's Eighteen Styles, and there's the Solitary Dragon Drill..."

Xu San's face burned with fury as he glared at Xu Si.

After a long while, he took a deep breath and said:

"Baobao, you've been sparring with Chulan for quite a while now, so head back for now.

As for the match, we'll settle it next time!"

Zhang Chulan, upon hearing this, smiled and nodded, then, without another word, pulled Feng Baobao and left.

Not long after the two had gone, a voice full of fury rang out:

"Xu Si..."
