172. Watch Me Take on Six at Once!

Song Shuhang listened attentively to the lessons throughout the morning.

Doudou transforms into a 'monster' form invisible to the human eye, spending most of its time hiding in its drawer playing on its phone.

As Song Shuhang looked down on the road, he happened to see Doudou leaving a negative review on a shopping website. "Heartless seller, bad review! Where's the promised chicken flavor? I've eaten more than half a bag and still can't taste any chicken! Liar! Have you lost your conscience?"

Song Shuhang broke out in a cold sweat that he couldn't stop.

Do you think the store owner will be incredibly annoyed or just plain stupid after seeing this negative review?

If the shop owner's mood is. "This is absolutely infuriating!" -- then he really is infuriating.

If his reaction is. "I'm so angry at you, customer! This is dog food, and you ate most of it?" then he's either angry at Doudou or angry at the dog.

Come to think of it, no wonder Doudou hasn't asked him to buy anything these past few days; she's learned how to shop online!

Who received the package? Don't tell me Doudou went downstairs to pick it up herself!

Overall, Song Shuhang felt that Doudou wasn't as troublesome as the seniors in the group described. Apart from being a little mischievous, it could play for a long time as long as you gave it something it liked to do.

Oh right... aside from logging on every day to curse True Lord Yellow Mountain, he's actually quite cute the rest of the time.

On another note, ever since Doudou came to his house, the lofty image of the 'True Lord Yellow Mountain' group leader in his mind has been like a waterfall, cascading down three thousand feet.

Hearing Doudou call him "Yellow Mountain Big Fool" all day long, Song Shuhang eventually started to remember True Lord Yellow Mountain as Yellow Mountain Big Fool.

Around 10 a. m., I had two classes in the morning, and everything went smoothly.

No classes in the afternoon.

Tubo asked, bored, "Are you guys going back to the dorm to study? The exam's tomorrow."

Final exams are approaching, and he needs to work hard to avoid failing and having to retake them. Even last-minute cramming can be effective.

Normally, there's a day or two of rest before the final exams each semester, allowing students time to review. However, this year, the exams were moved up at the last minute, making the course schedule more hectic.

"I've made plans to study with Mei Yi, so I won't be joining you guys." Gao Moumou pushed up his glasses, ruthlessly abandoning his single roommates.

Tubo looked at Li Yangde with a pitiful expression.

"Don't do that, it's disgusting. Just come to my place today, and ask me if you don't understand anything," Li Yangde said disdainfully. "She's not a pretty girl, why is she acting cute?"

"Where's Shuhang? Want to come along?" Tubo chuckled and asked.

"I'll see how it goes. If I'm free tonight, I'll go to Yangde's place," Song Shuhang replied after thinking for a moment.

Before he leaves, he needs to make sure that Senior White and Doudou are properly settled. Otherwise, when he comes home, all the appliances in the house will need to be replaced.

Lu Fei, standing to the side, secretly clenched her fist. She had originally wanted to invite Song Shuhang to their dormitory to study together—because the dormitory's air conditioner was broken, and she didn't know when someone would come to fix it.

After Tubo stirred things up like that, she became too embarrassed to speak.

Although Song Shuhang had formed a contract with Spirit Ghost, he still carried the Soul-Sealing Ice Pearl with him, and its cooling effect remained unchanged. Let alone the Spirit Ghost inside, the Soul-Sealing Ice Pearl itself was a treasure. Looking back, Miss Soft Feather was incredibly generous.

"Shall we go back to the dorm together?" Song Shuhang asked Lu Fei. He needed to go back to his dorm and bring all his textbooks back to the Medicine Master's building. He had to think about it; he needed to review them.

"Great!" Lu Fei exclaimed happily.

************

On the other side.

The Sunflower Cultivator looked nervous. "'The pressure of the mountain of books' is over, school's out! Are you all ready?"

Beside him were six men in black with cold expressions and a strong killing intent emanating from them. These were all subordinates of the 'Altar Master' of Luoxin District in the neighboring city, who had been recruited by the Sunflower Cultivator through various means.

"Very well, then prepare for action!" The Sunflower Cultivator said in a deep voice, "Notify the members of the Neighborhood Office to go and process a temporary residence permit for that 'white' cultivator, and try to delay the process as much as possible."

In modern society, there are many ways and means to hold someone back.

"We're under a lot of pressure ambushing that Book Mountain cultivator. Remember, we need to be quick. Otherwise, by the time that 'White' cultivator realizes what's happening, we're all doomed."

"You only get one chance, go for it!"

Song Shuhang escorted Lu Fei to her dormitory, retrieved his own study materials from his own room, and then headed back to the Medicine Master's building.

Doudou was perched on his shoulder, playing a mobile game.

As Song Shuhang walked along a side path, he suddenly paused.

Although this road is narrow, it is still frequented by many pedestrians.

But now, there isn't a single pedestrian...

"Good for your Vigilance," Doudou praised.

"How many people are on the other side?" Song Shuhang asked, realizing that someone definitely wanted to attack him.

"There were seven people in total. Five of them were about as strong as you, around First-Grade first or Second Aperture the first rank, one was at the Third Aperture of the First-Grade; the last one was that handsome, burly guy who was following you last time, at First-Grade Fifth Aperture of the first rank, close to the leaping dragon Dragon Gate Leap realm. But that guy was sneaking around at the back, thinking I couldn't see him, hehe." Doudou recounted the number and location of the ambushers as if they were old friends.

Although these hidden figures concealed their presence, they were as bright and conspicuous as the Bright Moon in the sky in Doudou's eyes.

Song Shuhang touched the items on his person.

A Stench Pill.

A Sword Talisman.

Three Armor Talisman.

Eight Evil-Repelling Talisman.

Finally, there was an Ancient Copper Ring whose purpose was unknown.

"Doudou, you'll help me, right?" Song Shuhang asked.

Doudou said generously, "Of course, when you're seriously injured and about to die, I'll drag you away. Don't worry!"

"Alright, that suits me just fine." Song Shuhang laughed, tossed his satchel aside, and voluntarily entered the ambush set by the Sunflower Cultivator.

Doudou jumped lightly and dodged to the side.

"Come out." Song Shuhang stretched his limbs. "There were six people in total. I saw them all Chu Chu. No need to hide anymore."

He deliberately concealed one number of people, so that the Sunflower Cultivator would believe that he had not yet discovered them.

As soon as Song Shuhang finished speaking, six figures leaped high into the air from all directions. They all wielded the same type of Hiltless Blade, aiming to stab Song Shuhang at tricky angles.

"Hiltless Blade, is it a subordinate of the Altar Master?" Song Shuhang thought to himself.

At this moment, if he had enough mental energy to activate his Eye Aperture Talent 'Expert's Vision', it would definitely feel great. Unfortunately, that would completely deplete his Blood Qi, and spirit. He would have to wait until he opened at least two more acupoints before this Eye Aperture Talent could take effect.

Therefore, Song Shuhang chose to activate an Armor Talisman.

The Armor Talisman can block attacks from all cultivators below the Third-Grade, and even the Altar Master cannot break through its defenses. These cultivators, who only have one to Third Aperture, cannot harm Song Shuhang in the slightest, even if they exert all their strength.

"Clang clang clang clang clang!" Six Hiltless Blade pierced Song Shuhang's body, sparks Mars.

The six Altar Master looked on in astonishment. The sharp, handleless knives in their hands kept slicing, cutting, and stabbing, but they just couldn't break through Song Shuhang's defense.

"The speed isn't fast either," Song Shuhang thought to himself. After opening his Eye Aperture, he could Chu Chu see the movements of the subordinates of the Altar Master with one or Second Aperture as long as he concentrated.

This is the impact of the quality of the 'Foundation Building Technique'.

The Altar Master himself was just a rogue cultivator from the Ghost Gate. The foundation-building techniques he could collect for his subordinates to cultivate were all the most ordinary and common techniques in the Cultivator World.

Even among the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group, Song Shuhang's Vajra Foundation Fist and True Self Meditation Scripture were considered excellent foundation-building techniques.

The difference between the two is obvious.

"Basic Fist Technique, Part Two!" Song Shuhang silently recited the fist technique incantation, his Heart Aperture and Blood Qi surging in his heart and Eye Aperture, aided by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The fist shot out like a meteor!

In the blink of an eye, nearly forty punches were unleashed, and each of the Altar Master's subordinates was hit several times.

They had no protective treasures on them, and after taking a solid hit from Song Shuhang's punch, the six subordinates were sent flying backward, crashing into the wall and spitting blood.

Except for the First-Grade Third Aperture who avoided vital points at the crucial moment, the other five subordinates were unable to move and their fates were unknown.

Song Shuhang clenched his fist. He found that he really liked this feeling—no matter how hard other people's fists or weapons tried to cut through his defenses, they couldn't break through. But he could take half of their lives with just one punch!

Perhaps, this is a fighting style he can adopt next?

This thought flashed through his mind in an instant. Song Shuhang stomped his right foot hard on the ground and rammed into the First-Grade, Third Aperture cultivator, striking while the iron was hot to finish him off!

"Basic Fist Technique, Number One!" The punch was like a cannonball; this was Song Shuhang's strongest punch.

That cultivator at the First-Grade with Third Aperture was experienced in combat. He was only momentarily stunned by Song Shuhang's intimidating defenses before being hit by Song Shuhang's punch.

His body twisted strangely, dodging Song Shuhang's straight punch. At the same time, eight hiltless blades appeared between his ten fingers and were thrown towards Song Shuhang.

Clang, clang, clang—a series of impacts—these handleless blades pierced Song Shuhang's body, sparking a burst of sparks, before being repelled by the power of the 'Armor Talisman'.

At this moment, Song Shuhang chuckled, and his fist, which had been like a cannonball, suddenly turned strangely, becoming as nimble as a snake, and solidly struck the heart of the First-Grade Third Aperture cultivator.

The cultivator at the First-Grade Third Aperture coughed up blood, and the protective mirror on his chest was shattered by Song Shuhang. However, the heavy force of the punch still slammed into his body, sending him flying.

Although I lack combat experience, I've watched quite a few martial arts films since I was a child, Song Shuhang thought to himself smugly.

Actually... it's not at all because the martial arts films Song Shuhang watched were so great.

It was entirely due to the opponent's lack of intelligence and underestimation of the enemy.

According to their intelligence, Song Shuhang was merely a lucky individual who had encountered a master, obtained elixirs and cultivation techniques, and had recently achieved Heart Aperture. This novice with so little combat experience was practically a piece of cake for them, right?

They never expected that Song Shuhang had already opened two apertures and possessed a powerful defensive Talisman Treasure.
