Chapter 94: 【087】Seek Dangerous Lands, Unveil New Martial Arts

"Hmm... Alright, I’ll listen to you two elders, I’ll take a trip soon," Wang Longhu thought for a moment and suddenly agreed cheerfully.

This surprised both the big monk and Hong Wentai. They expected the young and reckless Wang Longhu, now a master of Dark Force, would likely refuse immediately.

After all, the young fear nothing on earth or in heaven, and with his unmatched strength, how could he back down?

Yet, unexpectedly, Wang Longhu made a complete turnaround, agreeing with a sense of justified compromise.

"You, you rascal, I don’t even know what to say to you." Hong Wentai caught his breath, trying to find the right words, but ultimately just sighed with a helpless smile.

"Traveling is good, with Old Qin and us here in Dong County, you take the Marrow Cleansing Scripture with you, and even if the Lu family sees you’re not around, they won’t dare to act too excessively." The big monk breathed a sigh of relief, feeling comforted.

He had known Wang Longhu for more than half a month, and he would really be troubled if this young man encountered any danger.

In fact, Wang Longhu’s quick agreement was simply because, after the typhoon, there was no longer a dangerous environment in Dong County to hone his skills.

Cliffs on the back mountain or undercurrents in the sea, neither posed much danger to the current Wang Longhu, and didn’t help in refining his skills.

Accustomed to rapid skill growth, Wang Longhu couldn’t tolerate daily hard practice with only slow improvements.

So he planned to leave Dong County to explore the great landscapes of his homeland, with steep peaks, deep abysses, extreme cold regions, primeval forests, and wilderness, so many places suitable for skill refinement. It would be a shame not to use them for martial arts practice.

"Master, you want me to take the Marrow Cleansing Scripture with me? Aren’t you planning to hand it over to the Wen City Martial Arts Association?" Wang Longhu asked in confusion.

"These days, taking a photo and turning it into a PDF file for the association archives, letting them share a bit of your light and drink some soup, is enough. They still dream of the original ancient texts? Those pampered, mediocre half-baked martial artists can dream on," Hong Wentai squinted, his tone full of disdain.

It was evident that relations between Hong Wentai and some people within the Martial Arts Association were not good.

The big monk chuckled, "There’s always some difference between reading an e-book and a physical book, especially with a rare skill like the Marrow Cleansing Scripture. In the Martial Arts Association, hardly any master Ming Jin. It’s more appropriate for you to keep the book.

Master Hong and I have studied the Marrow Cleansing Scripture for so many days without entry, proving it’s not something ordinary people can train in. You’re likely the one who can succeed, so you take it. We can just read the PDF."

Wang Longhu felt inexplicably touched.

He hadn’t known the big monk and Hong Wentai for long, yet their generosity was genuinely rare.

If it were the typical association martial artists, they would likely reverse the roles, letting Wang Longhu read the PDF while they kept the actual Marrow Cleansing Scripture.

"Master Hong, since I’m going on a trip, could I borrow that assembled spear of yours for a while?" Wang Longhu asked seriously.

Hong Wentai opened his eyes, his expression odd, "Borrow my spear? Are you sure you’re going traveling and not going to war? Carrying that thing would never pass security checks, it’s an illegal weapon and would be confiscated, I’m warning you."

"I’m going traveling, but not the typical kind, so needing a weapon for self-defense is kind of reasonable, right?" Wang Longhu showed a harmless smile.

But to the big monk and Hong Wentai, it seemed that smile harbored a hint of menace, like a grinning tiger.

The assembled spear, worth mentioning, was a weapon Hong Wentai had crafted with great expense by a Longquan artisan. Notably, when Wang Longhu used it to run through a Maybach body, it didn’t even bend, just chipped at several points, not affecting use.

Seeing its solidity and handiness, Wang Longhu naturally had his eye on it.

This trip, he had already chosen his target.

And that was Zheng Dongliang’s family company.

Last time, after saving Zheng Dongliang from four strong men, he mentioned to Wang Longhu about taking some jobs from his family if interested, offering handsome rewards.

Although Wang Longhu wasn’t particularly short on money right now, the tasks from Zheng Donghai’s family company deeply interested him.

Deep in the mountains, seeking natural herbs.

This put him in dangerous environments, much riskier than the monotonous underwater martial training.

During the typhoon, the turmoil of undercurrents allowed Wang Longhu to feel the immense terror between life and death. Now, with calm seas, even thirty meters underwater, he couldn’t feel a ripple of excitement, the technique apparently had lost its effect.

Places like the deep mountains have real bears, wild boars, tigers, and wolves roaming, providing a much better environment for martial training.

Hong Wentai nodded, "Alright, I rarely use that spear much anyway, I’ll temporarily lend it to you. Just don’t lose it, the materials alone cost over three hundred thousand, and if you lose it, you’ll have to compensate me with a new one."

Wang Longhu was startled, never imagining Hong Wentai’s spear had such a high price tag.

Over three hundred thousand, what is that concept? A BMW 3 Series or an Audi A4L could be fully purchased with that. For Hong Wentai, it’s just a spear, all about cash clashing in combat.

The big monk chuckled, "Master Hong’s spear contains many metal alloys, with tungsten steel on the spearhead, that’s why it helped deflect Lu Tianxing’s car."

"Too expensive, if I lost it, I really couldn’t afford to replace it," Wang Longhu laughed heartily, further convinced that taking Hong Wentai’s spear was the right choice.

Once he left Dong County, he could even practice with the spear.

"When do you plan to leave?" the big monk asked.

"Within a week, need a bit of preparation," Wang Longhu replied, deciding when to leave Dong County mostly depended on when Zheng Dongliang and those rich second generations planned to go, then he could hitch a ride.

"I’m really looking forward to seeing what level you’ll reach next time we meet. Alright, I’m off, the temple is organizing visitors to burn incense and worship at Mount Emei in Sichuan Province, I’ll be leading them, a lot to handle," the big monk waved, saying goodbye as he exited the courtyard, ready to leave.

Wang Longhu suddenly remembered something and quickly asked, "Master, where did you hide the stuff that night? I searched the entire house and couldn’t find it."

"In the fire pit under the kitchen’s clay stove, remove the ashes, and you’ll see it," the big monk’s distant voice finally enlightened Wang Longhu.

Grandma’s kitchen stove for cooking was still the last century’s clay stove style, with a big iron pot on top, and a hole beneath for adding firewood.

Ever since Grandma left, that stove had never been used, causing Wang Longhu to entirely overlook that spot, no wonder he couldn’t find the Marrow Cleansing Scripture and the martial arts secrets.

It must be noted; the big monk did have a knack for hiding things.

"I’ll be off too, it seems I won’t need to deliver supplies here anymore, quite a relief. Wang Longhu, when you leave, make sure to train well and build a reputation for Dong County martial artists, so I can bask in your glory too." Hong Wentai stood up, patting his pants, and left briskly.

Watching familiar faces leave one by one under the sunlight, Wang Longhu couldn’t help but feel a bit reluctant, though he didn’t quite know what to say.
