Chapter 430: Young Master Phoenix Slayer’s request
Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu
Song Shuhang was completely stunned at this time.
The reason for this bewilderment was that he wasn't able to take off his emerald-green kasaya...
Let's explain what happened… after testing the defensive power of the emerald-green kasaya together with Thrice Reckless Mad Saber, Song Shuhang decided to take it off and store it inside his size-reducing purse. If there was a need to fight for justice, he could take it out and wear it, carrying out this cool transformation.
But when he tried to take the kasaya off, he discovered that it wouldn't come off no matter how hard he tried. It felt as though it was an extension of his body.
Song Shuhang anxiously looked at True Monarch Yellow Mountain, seeking his help.
True Monarch Yellow Mountain pondered for a moment and quickly remembered the reason. Then, he told Song Shuhang that the emerald-green kasaya had a very good built-in feature, the anti-theft feature.
If the owner were to wear it (correctly), the kasaya would automatically link itself to its master.
And thanks to the anti-theft feature, the kasaya wouldn't come off unless the correct password was entered!
The unlocking method consisted in condensing a stream of true qi on one's finger and orderly pressing seven times on the checkered squares on the kasaya.
As if that wasn't enough, the method used was quite advanced… if one were to get the combination wrong for seven consecutive times, the kasaya would lock itself, not coming off for the next seven days.
Without the password, even an expert of the Penniless Thief Sect capable of using the 'Emptying Miracle Hands' would be unable to take it off!
Song Shuhang: 😳
Afterward, True Monarch Yellow Mountain told Song Shuhang that he lost the password and that he didn't remember it anymore… after all, it was only a set of magical clothes of the Second Stage.
After hearing this much, Song Shuhang felt his liver ache… did he have no choice but to keep wearing the kasaya?
Luckily, True Monarch Yellow Mountain had the contact details of the manufacturer of the emerald-green kasaya.
Later, he would send someone to ask the manufacturer what the password to unlock the kasaya was.
The only problem was that Song Shuhang would be unable to take it off until he managed to obtain the password.
❄️❄️❄️
In the end, Song Shuhang had no choice but to keep wearing the kasaya. Next, he silently moved to a side and started to practice with his saber.
What he was practicing was the volume of the ❮Inverted Scale Saber Technique❯.
Although there were only three styles, the creator of this saber technique had a very wild imagination. Instead of creating a technique that would use the saber to attack, he created a way to use it to form an incredibly powerful defense.
In the future, if Song Shuhang wanted to sweep several battlefields without suffering a single defeat, the three moves of the ❮Inverted Scale Saber Technique❯ were the way to go!
Compared to his poor and nonexistent talent in regards to sword techniques, Song Shuhang had a pretty good talent when it came to saber techniques.
Even without someone guiding him, he could already roughly use three moves of the ❮Inverted Scale Saber Technique❯ after looking at them only twice.
Of course, the version he was using right now had a fine appearance but no real substance. Properly grasping the ❮Inverted Scale Saber Technique❯ wasn't that easy.
The way this saber technique worked was the opposite of ordinary saber techniques. While practicing, Song Shuhang felt that he lacked something.
"Little friend Shuhang, are you practicing a saber technique?" A neutral voice echoed in Song Shuhang's ears.
Song Shuhang turned his head around and saw that Young Master Phoenix Slayer was standing behind him, smiling at him. Then, he pushed up his glasses, and a ray of wisdom flashed through his lenses.
"Senior Phoenix Slayer." Song Shuhang put the treasured saber Broken Tyrant away and said, "I'm trying to learn a few saber moves. Just now, I was trying to grasp the general meaning behind the technique."
Young Master Phoenix Slayer slightly nodded and said, "Little friend is really talented when it comes to sabers."
After the pleasantries, Young Master Phoenix Slayer came straight to the point.
"Little friend Shuhang, I can sense that someone is secretly monitoring you. Moreover, the opposite party seems to be harboring evil intentions," Young Master Phoenix Slayer said in a low voice.
Song Shuhang was surprised.
Someone was monitoring him?
Who could be it?
Was it the Limitless Demon Sect that Young Master Hai was part of? Or was it one of those elite sea urchin warriors that had undergone the baptism of the ❮20 Years of Mandatory Education Manual❯? Or perhaps it was the influence behind that puppet called She Lan?
"Do you want me to take care of the guys secretly monitoring you?" Young Master Phoenix Slayer pushed up his glasses, and rays of wisdom continuously flashed through his lenses. "Moreover, I can find all the ins and outs of the people monitoring you."
Song Shuhang's eyes lit up. Then, he asked, "Senior Phoenix Slayer, what do you want me to do in exchange?"
In the Nine Provinces Number One Group, people attached great importance to the equivalent exchange.
"It's very simple. Earlier, I told you that I've some reservation about 'vehicles', right? Therefore…" With a smile, Young Master Phoenix Slayer said, "How about controlling my body to participate in the 'hand-guided tractor competition' in my stead? After the end of the competition, regardless of the place or the time, I'll accompany you and ferret out these guys monitoring you, discovering which influence they belong to."
"I'm supposed to control your body?" Song Shuhang was stunned.
Soon after, he recalled the battle between Doudou and Young Master Phoenix Slayer earlier. It seemed that Young Master Phoenix Slayer possessed the ability to influence the minds of others and control their actions for a short period of time.
But could his skill work in reverse and allow others to control his body as well?
Song Shuhang asked out of curiosity, "How can I control your body?"
"Does that mean that you comply? Actually, it's very simple. Come, look into my eyes," Young Master Phoenix Slayer said.
Song Shuhang unconsciously looked in Young Master Phoenix Slayer's eyes.
When the two of them looked into each other's eyes, Young Master Phoenix Slayer quickly took off his glasses.
In the next moment, Phoenix Slayer's eyes changed into a starry sky.
Song Shuhang saw a vast world made of stars. In there, countless stars were shining brightly.
He felt that his consciousness started fluttering. It fluttered and fluttered, until it entered that vast world made of stars.
❄️❄️❄️
It was unknown for how long he floated about. It felt like an eternity, but at the same time, he felt as though everything was happening in the blink of an eye.
Next, he experienced a zero-gravity feeling.
Afterward, Song Shuhang finally returned to his senses.
At this time, he thought of a matter and asked, "Senior Phoenix Slayer, in which way I can control your body? Is it something like the shared senses of a ghost spirit?"
As soon as he said these words, Song Shuhang was stunned… because the voice he used to speak was that of Young Master Phoenix Slayer!
As if that wasn't enough, a bald young man with delicate features was standing right in front of him. At this time, the young man was about to fall to the ground.
Song Shuhang subconsciously stretched his hand out, trying to support the falling familiar young man.
However, there seemed to be a 'delay' between his thoughts and actions.
Approximately three seconds passed from when he thought of stretching his hand out to support the young man to when he actually stretched it out.
Thereupon, he could only helplessly watch this handsome bald-headed man wearing a kasaya slowly but steadily fall to the ground.
The shining bald head of the man bumped into the ground with a thud.
Due to the rebound, the bald head shot up and bumped into the cold earth once more right after… it looked like a rather painful experience.
Song Shuhang felt his heart ache, because the handsome baldy that fell to the ground was precisely little friend Song Shuhang!
