I Might Have Plagiarized...

Tang San finished practicing the last set of Hidden Weapon weapon techniques, stood still, and breathed slightly.

He deliberately revealed so much so that Ye Hua would see everything clearly and be utterly devastated!

"How was it?" Tang San couldn't suppress his smile. "Have you seen my Tang Sect Secret Techniques clearly?"

Three parts provocation, seven parts certainty, and still ninety parts disdain.

"I did see it clearly," Ye Hua stretched, "But the movements were too cumbersome, like an old lady binding her feet."

Tang San sneered, then his laughter turned into a mocking laugh, "All talk and no action is useless."

"Night Alliance Leader Ye, you just swore an oath with your Martial Soul that if you can't replicate it, you'll have to publish an apology in the newspaper!"

"Did I say I wouldn't practice?" Ye Hua blinked, cracking his knuckles. "Watch closely."

He deliberately suppressed his Soul Power to level 50, putting him on par with Tang San.

He stopped and raised his hand.

"First, the Mysterious Jade Hand."

As the palm wind surged, his five fingers were like jade, crystal clear.

Even the faint light emanating from her fingertips was exactly the same as Tang San's.

Tang San's smile froze.

"Second, the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track."

Ye Hua's figure swayed, like a butterfly flitting among flowers.

The steps were fluid and incredibly smooth.

Tang San's lips began to twitch.

Third, fourth, fifth...

Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, Purple Demon Eyes, Mysterious Heaven Skill.

The operational route, every move, was executed flawlessly.

When she finished her stance, even her breathing rhythm matched Tang San's.

"Tsk," Ye Hua clapped his hands, "Not bad, right?"

"However, your technique is still too rigid; you didn't quite grasp it."

You could hear a pin drop in the hall.

Tang San's face had turned from ashen to deathly pale.

"Impossible..." Tang San's teeth chattered. "How could you... You've never practiced this! You clearly only glanced at it twice!"

"That's right," Ye Hua smiled, "After taking a couple of glances, you can learn it, right?"

"You—" Tang San felt a metallic taste rise in his throat and almost vomited blood on the spot.

"Sect Leader Tang Sect," Bai He said with a half-smile, "What else do you have to say?"

"The Night Alliance Leader perfectly replicated those moves on the spot!"

"You still have the nerve to say that it's your own creation?!"

"I..." Tang San opened his mouth, his mind buzzing.

His mouth seemed to be glued shut, and he couldn't utter a word.

"Tang San plagiarized the Night Alliance Leader's cultivation technique!"

"He even lied to us, saying it was Tang Sect Secret Techniques!"

"Pah! Shameless!"

"I had my suspicions about the plagiarism of the Hidden Weapon earlier, but now it seems I was completely blind!"

The disciples behind the three clan leaders were also in an uproar.

The accusations were incessant, completely surrounding Tang San.

Tang San was so shocked by those words that he almost lost his balance, his mind a complete mess.

"I didn't!" He suddenly looked up, his eyes red. "I didn't plagiarize!"

"This is mine! It's the culmination of my many years of painstaking practice!"

"Is that so?" Yang Wudi said coldly, "Then how do you explain that Night Alliance Leader Ye could replicate it just by glancing at it twice?"

"If it weren't for the blatant plagiarism, how could one crack it with just a glance?"

"Hahaha!!!" Laughter erupted in the hall.

Tang San gritted his teeth, his jaw grinding. "Ye Hua!!!"

He roared, and his Soul Power surged forth!

The Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track was activated, and Ye Hua charged straight at him!

A cold light surged from his right palm, aiming straight for Ye Hua's throat!

However--

Ye Hua glanced at him casually.

Tang San was forcefully pressed to the ground by mental power.

"Ah--!!!" Tang San screamed in agony.

His Mysterious Jade Hand, a dark jade hand, hung limply at his sides, its palm a purplish-red.

As for why he didn't use his left palm? No one has forgotten that Tang San's left hand was broken by Zi JI long ago, right?

"A sneak attack?" Ye Hua looked down. "That's not very ethical."

"You—I—I didn't plagiarize!" Tang San roared.

How could this be! How could this be!

Is it just another coincidence?

Or... maybe I really did plagiarize?

Tang San felt a sense of bewilderment.

Seeing that he was still being stubborn, everyone shook their heads.

The Bai He sighed, "Unrepentant to the end."

Niu Gao sneered, "That's all the ambition you've got."

Yang Wudi simply turned his head away.

Dirty eyes!

[bite--]

[Mission "Plagiarism! Plagiarism of everything!" Completed!]

[Rewards being distributed...]

[The authentic martial arts techniques have been stored in the Azure Jade Bracelet and can be retrieved at any time (Azure Jade Hand, Myriad Transformations of Divine Movement, Long Night Art, Hundred Herbs Classic, Annihilation Demon Eyes, Plucking Stars and Seizing the Moon)]

[Hidden Weapon are a product of the old era; the new era has no ships to carry them, so the alchemy classic <The Hundred Herbs Classic> has replaced <The Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapons>.]

Ye Hua's lips curled slightly as the knowledge of the authentic martial arts technique merged into his Sea of Consciousness.

He looked at the collapsed Tang San and sighed, "Tang San, oh Tang San, let me tell you the truth."

"I don't care if you plagiarize my secret technique; it's your skill if you can even understand it."

"But you only have a superficial understanding, yet you use this stuff to fool others and mislead young people, so I have no choice but to take action!"

Tang San barely managed to lift his eyes, and when he saw Ye Hua's leather boots, his heart skipped a beat.

But his face clearly showed his dissatisfaction!

Ye Hua shook his head. "Fine, since you won't give up until you're in the Yellow Springs, then I'll show you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he began to circulate his Soul Power.

Azure Jade Hand, Myriad Transformations of Divine Movement, Long Night Art

The Hundred Herbs Classic, the Annihilation Demon Eyes, the Plucking Stars and Seizing the Moon.

The whole sequence flowed smoothly and naturally!

Especially the Myriad Transformations of Divine Movement and the Annihilation Demon Eyes.

This is completely different from Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Purple Demon Eyes.

The Myriad Transformations of Divine Movement is elusive and seemingly nonexistent, three times faster and more profound than Tang San's Ghost Shadow Technique!

The Annihilation Demon Eyes can see through illusions and perceive weaknesses; it is not limited to Tang San's Illusion Break!

Seeing Ye Hua practicing, Bai He dropped her teacup and shattered it into pieces.

"This... this is the true ultimate technique..."

Tai Tan, the patriarch of the Strength Clan, was completely stunned.

He originally firmly believed that Tang San's martial arts techniques were the genuine Tang Sect inheritance.

But Ye Hua's demonstration was a complete game-changer for Tang San!

Tang San was the rough draft, Ye Hua was a divine weapon forged through countless trials.

Tang San is all show and no substance, while Ye Hua is a killer move honed through countless battles.

For the first time, hesitation and wavering appeared in Tai Tan's eyes.

Tang San noticed this and panicked, struggling desperately to get up.

"Elder Tai Tan! Believe me! I'm not lying to you!"

"Those manuals are truly mine!"

"Ye Hua definitely stole my things!"

"He's been watching me for a while now!"

Tai Tan weighed the options in his mind and ultimately decided not to expose it.

Seeing his silence, Tang San felt somewhat reassured.

Then he looked at the others and said, "Anyway, I didn't plagiarize!"

"Why do you believe him and not me! I am the true successor of the Tang Sect!"

I swear!!!

Seeing Tang San Sanzhen raise three fingers towards the sky, Niu Gao could only sneer.

Tang San's vow was like a rotten durian thrown in the trash—it stank horribly!

Unable to contain his anger, Niu Gao exclaimed, "What a fine successor of the Tang Sect!"

"Guards! Beat this man up! Teach him a lesson!"

The disciples of the Defense Clan had long been disgusted by Tang San's attitude and were itching for a fight.

"Stop it, all of you!" Tai Tan roared, his burly body blocking Tang San's path. "No one is allowed to touch the sect leader!"

Niu Gao was disappointed. "Tai Tan, you're still going to protect him? You're still so stubborn?"

Tai Tan gritted his teeth, remained silent for a long time, and said, "I'm sticking with him!"

Niu Gao closed his eyes.

"Alright. Let's call it a day then, brothers."

"From this day forward, we shall have no further contact."

Tai Tan shuddered, his lips moving slightly.

He sides with Tang San; if he turns against Ye Hua, can he be trusted?

Moreover, even if Hidden Weapon target the low-end market, they may still be able to compete with Soul Guidance Weapon!

He helped the collapsed Tang San to his feet and growled, "Let's go!"

Tang San's steps were unsteady, and his face was ashen.

They were completely carried away by Tai Tan.

"Wait a moment," Ye Hua said.

Tai Tan's steps faltered in mid-air.

"Night Alliance Leader, we admit defeat."

"How would you like to handle this?"

Tai Tan took a deep breath and didn't dare to turn around.

"Relax," Ye Hua smiled, "I just have one question."

He tilted his head slightly. "Tang San, do you admit it or not? You plagiarized my martial arts technique?"

Tang San stared intently into Ye Hua's eyes, wishing he could shoot him to death with his gaze!

But what rebuttal did he have?

Ye Hua's techniques are more fluid and exquisite than his!

"I... I..."

"Tang San, I almost forgot," Ye Hua pointed at him, "If I lose, I have to apologize. What about you if you lose?"

"We can't possibly emerge unscathed, can we?"

When the words reached his ears, Tang San felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
