Douluo: Unparalleled General, Starting by Deceptive Thousand-Snow-Peak 111

Chapter 111: Turning Enemy into Friend

“This martial art was obtained by chance; it’s indeed called the Eighteen Single-Handed Picks. I wonder where you learned of it?” Nan Feihuang asked.

He didn’t want to reveal that he was also a time traveler. Given Tang San’s personality, he probably wouldn’t tolerate the existence of someone like him.

Nan Feihuang wasn’t afraid of him, but he currently wanted to use him to attract the attention of major forces in the future. It wouldn’t do to have him constantly eyeing him.

“Obtained by chance?” Tang San was dubious. With his cunning, he wouldn’t believe Nan Feihuang so easily.

However, time travel was after all an ethereal matter, especially the appearance of two in the same generation. He preferred to believe that Douluo Continent had, long ago, seen someone like him, leaving behind a legacy which Nan Feihuang had obtained.

Of course, he didn’t rule out the possibility that Nan Feihuang was in the same situation as him, but the probability was relatively low.

Regardless, Tang San’s killing intent had arisen. Beings as unique as himself—the world didn’t need two—and this was a path to death.

“Killing intent!” Nan Feihuang’s perception of killing intent was incredibly sharp. It seemed he had underestimated Tang San’s ruthlessness. Even without sufficient evidence, merely with suspicion, he was already thinking of eliminating him.

“Hey, are you Nan Feihuang?” Just as the two were at loggerheads, Ning Rongrong suddenly stepped forward, interrupting their confrontation and conversation.

Originally, she hadn’t recognized him, the man who had almost become her fiancé.

But he had just claimed the surname Nan, his mother’s surname was Lan, and his Martial Soul was the Sky-Splitting Halberd. With so many characteristics combined, if she still couldn’t figure it out, she’d be incredibly stupid.

Actually, her running away from home was somewhat related to this guy. As Nan Feihuang’s reputation grew, first becoming the top student of the Tiandou Royal Academy and then sweeping through all the Gold Dou Souls in the Tiandou Great Dou Soul Arena without a single defeat, backed by two Title Douluos…

It made Ning Fengzhi sigh. He had rejected Nan Tianchen too quickly back then.

If he had known that Nan Feihuang’s talent was so extraordinary, and that he could even become sworn brothers with Du Guobo, he might not have refused.

After all, while the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School didn’t care about a small agricultural country, nor did they particularly care about Lan Xue, who was only a Soul Douluo at the time, now, they were two Title Douluos and an extremely talented individual who was certain to become a Title Douluo. This was something they couldn’t ignore; they always regretted losing such an exceptional talent and two powerful allies.

However, despite his regret, he didn’t intend to pursue the marriage again. Firstly, he had already refused, and trying to reconcile would be a loss of face for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Secondly, Nan Feihuang’s identity was special; it was impossible for him to marry into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Ning Rongrong had recently been secretly designated as the sect’s next successor, so she wouldn’t easily get married either.

He merely suggested that Ning Rongrong could visit the Tiandou Royal Academy when she had time to make friends and mend the relationship between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Ancient Thunder King Country.

Ning Rongrong misunderstood his meaning at the time and was unhappy. It sounded like she was undesirable. No matter how outstanding Nan Feihuang was, he had been rejected by her, so what was the big deal?

She had a falling out with Ning Fengzhi, who said she was being unreasonable, so she promptly ran away from home.

She then came to Shrek Academy and was humiliated by Flanders and others. In a way, this guy was the culprit.

Ning Rongrong looked at Nan Feihuang with resentment, leaving Nan Feihuang completely bewildered. When had he offended this little witch?

“Nan Feihuang?” Tang San thought to himself, “So this guy is the Nan Feihuang known as the Flying General.”

He obviously knew about Nan Feihuang, having learned from his teacher.

The Grandmaster’s major interest was researching martial souls throughout the land. After inadvertently learning about Nan Feihuang’s exploits, he had actually watched several of Nan Feihuang’s Dou Soul matches and recorded his unique Sky-Splitting Halberd in his Soul Master data.

Tang San immediately suppressed his killing intent. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to kill, but he had to consider the bigger picture.

Firstly, Nan Feihuang’s strength had just been fully displayed; he wasn’t completely confident in killing him. Secondly, Nan Feihuang had too much backing, while he had nothing. His father was merely a village blacksmith. If he killed Nan Feihuang, he would face the pursuit of two Title Douluos, and he would undoubtedly die.

Exchanging his life for Nan Feihuang’s was not worthwhile.

However, his killing intent had been clearly detected by Nan Feihuang, and now he urgently needed a way out, which someone conveniently provided.

“Alright, stop it.” Qin Ming made a quick move to the middle of the two groups, looking at the Shrek students and saying, “You see? There are many people stronger than you in this world. Feihuang didn’t even use half his strength just now. So, before you cause trouble, you better weigh your capabilities.”

“The reason you are so bold now, I guess, is because your teacher is nearby. But after graduation, without protection, what will you do?”

Qin Ming was using his own experience to teach them, having Nan Feihuang demonstrate his power first to add credibility to his words.

“Who are you?” Dai Mubai disliked Qin Ming’s condescending tone; he wasn’t their teacher.

“May I ask, sir, are you the one who sent this Flying General, the one qualified to educate us?” Tang San was clever and immediately understood Qin Ming’s identity, stating directly, “What is your relationship with our Shrek Academy?”

Qin Ming smiled, “You are indeed intelligent. I am your senior, Qin Ming, a graduate of Shrek’s first graduating class. With this identity, am I qualified to educate you?”

“So that’s how it is, Senior. I am Tang San. Since you are our senior, you naturally are qualified.” Tang San immediately said. Whether he was qualified or not was just a casual remark; he needed a way out, and here it was, so he took it.

“General Feihuang, I am truly sorry. I originally thought you were deliberately looking for trouble with Shrek, so I displayed my killing intent. Unexpectedly, you were entrusted by our senior to teach us. Your strength has indeed shown me what it means to ‘there are always greater people out there.’ I offer my sincere apologies and gratitude.” Tang San spoke with exceptional grace and reason, making people feel at ease.

His words increased the goodwill towards him, except for Nan Feihuang, who understood him, and Xun Yu, who was perceptive.

“In Shrek, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun are very annoying, but this Tang San is a very good person; he acknowledges his mistakes and is humble like Teacher Qin. He is also strong. Having such a student, I now believe Shrek is a good school,” Yu Feng said.

Qin Ming nodded in satisfaction. “Your name is Tang San, right? You are indeed measured in your actions; very good. I didn’t expect the academy to have such an outstanding student this year. Fellow students, I hope you remember this lesson today. Tang San is right, ‘there are always greater people out there.’ I don’t know if those who don’t dare to cause trouble are mediocre, but those who casually cause trouble are definitely fools. I hope you remember this.”

“Yes, thank you for your guidance, senior.” Tang San took the lead in echoing the sentiment, and while Dai Mubai and the others still had unhappy expressions, being a senior, they could only grumble their assent.

Tang San walked to Nan Feihuang again, bowed, and said, “General Feihuang, Tang San apologizes again, hoping you will forgive my impulsiveness. I was just too worried about my sister and couldn’t control myself.”

“Old fox!” Nan Feihuang was startled. Could others not see through Tang San’s intentions, but he couldn’t?

This way of using the situation to his advantage was well-done; in a few words, he turned the blatant killing intent into a misunderstanding and repeatedly apologized and expressed gratitude in person.

If he held onto this now, it would make him seem petty.

“Brother Tang, you are too kind. Nan Feihuang would not mind such a small matter.” Nan Feihuang returned the bow. The two, who had just been at swords’ points, now seemed like good friends.

But Nan Feihuang knew that Tang San’s killing intent would not disappear because of this; he just felt it wasn’t the right time.

That’s why he adopted this attitude of turning enemy into friend. If he didn’t slightly understand this guy, he might have been deceived by this image of someone who admits their mistakes and is measured, thinking he was truly good, and then confiding in him only to be betrayed; betrayed in the literal sense.

“Showing such strong killing intent towards me, yet trying to let it go? Do you really think I’m easy to bully, Xiao San?” Nan Feihuang thought. Since he wanted to turn enemy into friend, fine! He would oblige him.

During this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, Nan Feihuang decided, he would definitely help Tang San—he would do something that would make Tang San eternally grateful.
