Crane Wing Double Link

Zhou Yuxuan knew the reason for their change in attitude. It was nothing more than seeing the performance of Emiya and the other person, finally confirming that the path of Magic Circuits was not only viable but also had great potential.

Initially, they thought that uniting to harvest the Chen Family was the main objective, but now they felt their previous thinking was too conservative and they had misjudged the situation.

It was only because Zhou Yuxuan was meticulous in his dealings and wouldn't dismiss people casually out of impatience, otherwise, the noble families might not have dared to approach him so freely.

"Replying to the Wu Family Head, I am in good health, and Wa Lord is also full of energy."

Wu Jianhong laughed heartily, giving Zhou Yuxuan a strong slap on the back that thumped like a drum. "Ah, Yuxuan, I heard that something happened at the Tomb of the Three Kings recently. You were saved by your new Chief Scribe at that time, is that right?"

Zhou Yuxuan's heart stirred slightly, but his expression remained unchanged. "Thank you for your concern, Wu Family Head. The people below can't control their mouths and just spread rumors. The Chief Scribe is a talent personally valued by Wa Lord. Perhaps someone with ulterior motives enjoys stirring up trouble behind the scenes."

"The Zhou Family's new Chief Scribe, I wonder which esteemed individual it is." Wu Jianhong hadn't given up and was practically asking for Emiya's background by name.

Zhou Yuxuan knew that Emiya was almost like a forbidden possession in Wa Lord's eyes, not to be touched by these noble families. Emiya also didn't want to be bothered by trivial matters. If he were to relax this barrier, the noble families' vast network of spies and personnel would stick to him like a stubborn plaster.

"The Wu Family Head should wait patiently. On the day of the agreed-upon action, you will naturally get to see the Chief Scribe's demeanor."

Seeing the dim evening sky in the distance, Zhou Yuxuan recalled Wa Lord's instructions. He cupped his hands and said seriously:

"Wu Family Head, instead of insisting on ineffective inquiries, it's better to seriously consider why Wa Lord is willing to share this new path of magic with the noble families – in other words, why did she only choose those she is familiar with? You should know that even with strict封锁, news will spread both internally and externally, eventually reaching all nations."

When the day comes that it can no longer be concealed, it won't just be these people who arrive.

The playful look disappeared from Wu Jianhong's bushy beard. "Yuxuan, do you have something to teach me?"

"I wouldn't dare to teach, just a small suggestion... Wu Family Head, Wa Lord probably feels that the voice of our noble families is not strong enough right now, and some people are too much of an eyesore, such as Gattuso, whom the Chen Family is colluding with, and also Cassell..."

The nominal scope of responsibility for the Shenzhou noble families has always included handling local dragon incidents and strictly preventing the entry of foreign Hybrid forces... But for many years, the noble families have been conservative in their approach, not only with a large outflow of dragon blood, dragon treasures, etc., but also with the emergence of Hybrid forces represented by the Secret Society – Cassell even established a preparatory school branch in Shenzhou, recruiting a large number of wild Hybrid freshmen from this area every year –

In fact, the Black King's descendants in Shenzhou have become an important source of students for Cassell, and the noble families have almost given up on managing this area.

Wa Lord believes that the magic system is an opportunity, an opportunity to change the current situation.

Wu Jianhong almost realized something. His big beard trembled, and the thick muscles on his arms also tensed up for a moment. He solemnly cupped his hands to Zhou Yuxuan, "Wa Lord... truly has great spirit..."

After the salute, Zhou Yuxuan slowly turned around and walked away with his back to Wu Jianhong, planning to continue following up on the work he was responsible for. "Yes, so, I hope the Wu Family Head will also show some spirit."

This was a matter of choosing sides, a complete reshuffle of power. The Bai Family had already openly declared their stance. As for the remaining few, the smart noble families must have already made the correct choice in their hearts.

"After all, you wouldn't want your family to become the next Chen Family, right?"

Whoosh—

The sharp whistle of a sharp object cutting through the air, two cold lights like venomous snakes shooting out from the shadows.

"Hey, I'll dodge!"

Old Tang now considered himself to have extraordinary talent and to be well-trained. He dodged with a very flamboyant spin, jump, and closed eyes, and the aura of the ancient swords brushed past him.

Clang—!

After the two black and white bronze short swords crossed paths from either side of Old Tang, they quickly scraped against the solid ground. Only a piercing sharp sound was heard, and the ground scraped by the sword edges was neatly cut open, the cut surfaces smooth as mirrors, with smoke rising faintly.

"Old Tang! Be careful of this!" Emiya's voice came from a distance, followed by a newly appeared pair of black and white twin swords.

The black and white twin swords spun rapidly in the air, making a buzzing sound that broke the air. Their light trajectory was like a wisp of floating silk in mid-air.

As they approached, the two black and white twin swords that Old Tang had just dodged also spun and danced dangerously, as if assassins were lurking in the shadows again—

Thus, two sets of husband and wife swords, a total of four short swords, began to block Old Tang's evasion routes from the front, back, left, and right!

"Damn! Don't you dare bring another pair! Next time, I might lose an arm or a leg from being tested by your moves!"

Old Tang's mind raced, nervously sensing the flight direction of the husband and wife swords – Ganzhiang and Moxie.

The next moment, he made an incredible move, leaning back significantly while his legs spread out like a bow. As a result, the twin swords from the left and right directions collided in front of his chest with a clang and fell to the ground, but the twin swords from the front and back directions unfortunately slightly grazed his trouser legs with their edges...

Rip, Old Tang's new Patagonia sports pants were torn open, leaving two neat cuts.

"Don't worry, there won't be another pair. Two pairs of swords with 'Crane Wing Double Link' is the limit for now."

Emiya walked over and retrieved Ganzhiang and Moxie. During this time, he hadn't practiced anything else with Projection, focusing only on projecting Ganzhiang and Moxie, which Red Archer was best at. His efforts paid off, and he could finally make the projected Ganzhiang and Moxie have the characteristic of mutual attraction.

Using this characteristic to develop the Crane Wing Triple Link, a move that was extremely difficult for enemies to dodge, became his training goal. Incidentally... it also helped Old Tang train his supercomputer brain.

However, Red Archer's Crane Wing Triple Link was an unavoidable move that threw out three pairs of Ganzhiang and Moxie based on his eyesight and experience in seeing through the opponent's actions. His current experience and technique were still only at the level of Crane Wing Double Link.

Old Tang patted the dust off his clothes with a troubled expression. He felt that his recent training had been tough. He had finally gotten close to the wealthy Zhou Family, which made his wallet gradually bulge, and he even bought several sets of designer clothes. As a result, they were worn out during training. His good brother said that sweating more during training meant bleeding less during missions and then started the "involution" mode, making him too embarrassed to say that he actually couldn't help but want to lie flat and play StarCraft, wasting his peerless magic talent.

Old Tang was lost in thought when he saw Zhou Yuxuan walking towards him and Emiya.

"Wa Lord has invited us. According to the latest intelligence from 'The Trio', the Chen Family has been acting strangely recently. Our operation is about to begin."
