Chapter 40: How Dare You Attack Your Colleagues?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

‘I still have 12 units of energy left…’

Xu Ning glanced at the Martial Arts Panel again.

With the remaining 12 units of energy left, he could upgrade his Gale Knife Technique to the perfection realm.

However, if he upgraded his Gale Knife Technique to perfection realm, he would then deplete his remaining energy units.

Also, he would not be able to level up his Source Breath Bodybuilding Tactic.

After commander Wei Changqing gave his speech to the newcomers, the full text of the Source Breath Bodybuilding Tactic was distributed to everyone.

During the previous assessment, everyone also discovered that the black lines on the round stone tablet was actually a guidance method for the Source Breath Bodybuilding Tactic.

In Xu Ning’s opinion, the Source Breath Bodybuilding Tactic was a very practical and powerful external skill.

.

If he could cultivate his Source Breath Bodybuilding Tactic to the intermediate realm, then almost no one could match the power of his physical body.

Therefore, Xu Ning was caught in a dilemma.

‘Should I improve my Gale Knife Technique, or my Source Breath Bodybuilding Tactic?’

‘Or keep the 12 units of energy and use it to reach qi realm?’

Xu Ning didn’t know what to choose.

…

Chen Ren’s study.

Except for Xu Ning, the other six people at the Maple Lane Black Armored Guards Post were in his study.

Lieutenant Chen Ren sat in his chair. He had an angry look on his face.

“Come in!”

Chen Ren shouted.

The city guard that had previously passed the message walked in with a look of fear on his face.

He knew that the lieutenant was not in a good mood.

“Did you tell Xu Ning to come?”

Chen Ren asked calmly.

“Master Chen, Master Xu has already been notified.”

The city guard replied.

“Then why hasn’t he come yet?”

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

The city guard trembled. “Um… Sir I am not sure.”

“Has he already started to lose sight of who is boss around here…”

Chen Ren sneered.

Last night, Chen Ren heard that Xu Ning had once again returned the Qinglu Dans.

He never expected that Xu Ning would disrespect him in such a way that he would dare to violate his orders so directly.

“Pan Du.”

Chen Ren cast his gaze towards the people sitting aside and called out a name.

A pale, lanky man stood up.

He looked to be around 30 years old. There was no trace of color in his eyes, even his whole body looked frozen.

“Sir.”

Pan Du cupped his fists.

“Go and personally ask Xu Ning to come over.”

Chen Ren had to force the words “Xu Ning” out of his mouth.

Pan Du nodded and said, “Understood, master.”

Pan Du walked out the door.

“Xu Ning…”

Chen Ren felt that he had to prove to Xu Ning that he was the true boss of the Maple Lane Guard Station.

…

Pan Du came to the small courtyard in front of Xu Ning’s study room.

Feng Sigua was still standing in front of the door.

“Where is Xu Ning?”

Pan Du asked in an impolite tone after seeing Feng Sigua.

Feng Sigua knew that Pan Du was an evil person who had a dark personality.

One time a city guard accidentally offended Pan Du, and not only was he dismissed from his post, he also suffered physical and spiritual injuries.

Usually Feng Sigua and the other city guards would avoid interacting with Pan Du.

But right now, Feng Sigua had no choice.

“Master Pan, Master Xu is still in his study, he is dealing with important matters.”

Feng Sigua replied.

“Dealing with important matters?”

Pan Du squinted his eyes. “What could be more important than Lieutenant Chen’s orders?”

Pan Du pushed Feng Sigua away and walked straight towards Xu Ning’s study.

Feng Sigua clenched his jaw and chased after him.

He took two steps and walked in front of Pan Du.

“Master Pan, Master Xu is busy with important matters, please do not disturb him.”

Feng Sigua reached out his hand to stop Pan Du, not letting him walk any further.

Pan Du was very surprised. He looked at Feng Sigua from head to toe.

Pan Du’s gaze made Feng Sigua shudder.

But he still maintained his posture.

“You, a puny city guard, dare to block my way?”

Pan Du had an amused expression at first, then his smile narrowed and his face turned cold again.

Feng Sigua’s forehead broke out in cold sweat, but he still refused to give in.

“Okay then…”

Without saying a word, Pan Du punched Feng Sigua in the stomach.

Feng Sigua was just an ordinary person who hadn’t cultivated any internal skills, while Pan Du was a muscle bone realm warrior.

Although Pan Du’s strength was considered average among the Black Armored Guards, he could still easily defeat Feng Sigua.

Slap!

A huge amount of power hit Feng Sigua’s stomach.

The unbearable pain made Feng Sigua pass out momentarily.

Afterwards, Feng Sigua felt his chest was burning. There was also a gamey smell in his mouth.

Feng Sigua spewed out a mouthful of blood. He leaned over on the ground.

Pan Du didn’t look at him. He just rolled his eyes and smirked.

Pan Du raised his foot and continued to walk forward.

Afterwards, he felt someone hugging his feet.

This time he lowered his head and saw Feng Sigua, whose mouth was full of blood, grabbing his feet with both hands.

Pan Du was shocked.

“Are you crazy?”

Pan Du asked Feng Sigua.

He really wanted to know where Feng Sigua got the courage from.

Feng Sigua wanted to talk, but even moving his throat was painful.

Pan Du shook his head. Then he lifted his foot and stepped on Feng Sigua’s head.

Pan Du was using his full strength, with a murderous intent in his eyes.

Feng Sigua felt the force on his head.

Suddenly, Feng Sigua felt a little regretful.

He hadn’t received any tangible benefits from Master Xu, yet it seemed that he was already about to lose his life.

But Feng Sigua thought of his past 30 years of mediocrity.

If he had the option to travel back in time, he would make the same decision and remain loyal to Xu Ning.

Slap!

It wasn’t the sound of broken bones, but rather the sound of a slap.

Xu Ning appeared behind Pan Du out of nowhere.

He raised his arm and slapped Pan Du’s face.

The immense power from his inner enrichment caused Pan Du, who was unprepared, to lose his balance.

The huge force from Xu Ning’s palm deformed Pan Du’s face.

His body was fragile to begin with, and thus he spun around and fell on the ground.

“Ah!”

Pan Du let out a scream.

He felt dizzy in his head. His face was in severe pain and his flesh was swollen.

Pan Du couldn’t even open his right eye.

“Xu Ning, how dare you attack your colleagues?!”

Pan Du sat up, supporting himself with his forearms. He covered his right face and looked at Xu Ning, who was dressed in black armor gear.

Pan Du had never met Xu Ning before, but Xu Ning was the only person that could be standing here in black armor gear.

“Yeah, how dare you attack your colleagues?”

Xu Ning walked over.

He bent over and grabbed Pan Du’s collar.

Xu Ning paused for a second.

He didn’t expect Pan Du to be so light.

Dang!

Xu Ning pushed Pan Du against the wall.

Pan Du’s back was in pain as he clenched his jaw.

Pan Du’s hair was messy and his face was bruised. He completely lost his evil composure from before.

“Tell me, why are you bullying a city guard, bullying our…”

“Colleagues!”

Slap!

Slap!

Slap!

Xu Ning held up Pan Du’s head with one hand.

Xu Ning used his other hand to repeatedly slap Pan Du’s face.

It wasn’t too painful, but the humiliation made Pan Du want to kill Xu Ning.

But every time Pan Du raised his hand to resist the slaps, Xu Ning would yank his neck harder, which forced Pan Du to grab Xu Ning’s hand with both hands, for fear that Xu Ning would twist and break his neck.

Feng Sigua was lying sideways on the ground with a puddle of blood near his mouth.

Xu Ning didn’t say a word to Feng Sigua.

But Feng Sigua saw Xu Ning’s actions.

Feng Sigua wanted to laugh at Pan Du.

But laughing caused his stomach to twitch painfully.

“F*cking…”

Feng Sigua said in his heart.

“Deserved!”
