Chapter 1096: Encounter

Song Shuhang comforted, “In fact, everyone doesn’t have to worry so much. Daoist Priest Horizon isn’t as dreadful as you imagine. After having made contact with him, I know that although he is known as the Frenzied Strength Imparter, he actually has principles. Before imparting strength, he would definitely get the other party’s consent first.”
Moreover, he had just finished transcending his tribulation. There was still a long time until his next transcension, so during the time in between, everyone should be safe.
Loli Shi blinked. “But I still feel that it would be safer to get stamped by you first.”
Song Shuhang: “…”
Su Clan’s Sixteen thought for a moment, and said, “I think it’s better to get stamped just in case. Just as Shuhang said, Daoist Priest Horizon has principles… but what if we come across a Frenzied Strength Imparter without principles? A person that would impart them with strength regardless of whether the other party was willing or not? Since some things have already been mentioned, it would be safer to simply take precautions.”
“Yes, yes. Teacher, that’s a valid point, so stamp us quickly,” cried the monster bird Little Cai.
She had long thought that having a lot of ‘Profound Sage Seal Marks’ on her body would look great, but Song Shuhang never stamped her. Now that there was an opportunity, she would definitely get herself stamped by her Teacher’s ‘Sage Seal’.
“Okay.” Song Shuhang sighed, brought out the ‘Sage Seal’, and then asked Shi, “Where do you want me to stamp you?”
When he had stamped the tree demon, he had just randomly stamped on the other party’s body, but when it came to Loli Shi, he couldn’t just stamp her back, could he? That would be too weird.
Loli Shi stretched out her left hand, rolled up her sleeves, and exposed her tiny arm. “Senior Brother Song, would it be alright for you to stamp my arm?”
Song Shuhang held the ‘Sage Seal’, aimed at Loli Shi’s small arm, and stamped his Sage Name, ‘Tyrannical Song’.
The pattern of the Sage Seal appeared on Loli Shi’s white arm, which was shiny and beautiful. She reached out, poked the ‘Sage Seal’ on her arm, and grinned. Her face was filled with happiness, similar to the face of a little girl who had just received a toy.
Heavens, why does it feel like there’s something wrong with this process?
“My turn, my turn.” The monster bird Little Cai jumped over. “Teacher, can you stamp my wings? One stamp for each wing!”
This way, when she opened her wings, there would be two Sage Seals. Wouldn’t it look cooler?
The corners of Song Shuhang’s mouth twitched as he said, “One stamp per person.”
“Well, then just stamp me on my back.” Little Cai said regretfully.
Song Shuhang held the Sage Seal, aimed it towards Little Cai’s back, and forcefully stamped—one stamp was a stamp, two stamps were also a stamp, anyway, they were all stamps.
“Bam”, the Sage Name ‘Tyrannical Song’ was printed on Little Cai’s back.
It was equally as shiny as Shi’s.
Then, Little Cai jumped away in satisfaction.
Song Shuhang: “…”
Sure enough, I keep getting a strange feeling that can’t be explained from this process.
After stamping Little Cai, Song Shuhang turned his head and looked at Su Clan’s Sixteen, asking jokingly, “Sixteen, do you also want a stamp?”
Su Clan’s Sixteen grinned. She then stretched out her left arm, revealing her snow white arm in front of Song Shuhang.
For a while, phrases such as ‘smooth like silk’, ‘tender hands’, ‘smooth, soft, and glossy skin’, and ‘slim white hands’ popped up in Song Shuhang’s mind.
He took a breath, held the Sage Seal, and gently stamped on Sixteen’s arm.
“Bam!” Similar to the others, the Sage Name, ‘Tyrannical Song’, was imprinted on the arm.
Su Clan’s Sixteen retracted her arm, looked at the ‘Tyrannical Song’ writing, and said, “It’s just like a tattoo.”
Song Shuhang said, “Unfortunately, I didn’t have the time to choose carefully at that time. Otherwise, I would never have chosen ‘Tyrannical Song’ as my Sage Name.”
“Tyrannical Song sounds pretty good, it’s not bad.” Su Clan’s Sixteen pulled her sleeves down, and her ears turned slightly red.
She still had to carefully hide this mark.
Song Shuhang held the Sage Seal and retracted his gaze from Sixteen. Then, he looked at Young Master Phoenix Slayer, and asked, “Senior Phoenix Slayer, do you want some too?”
Young Master Phoenix Slayer: “…”
What the hell do you mean with that?
“Maybe another time.” Young Master Phoenix Slayer waved his hand, and said, “Daoist Priest Horizon has just transcended, and he’s far from his next heavenly tribulation. Currently, he wouldn’t need to impart his strength to others, so we really only need to discuss this for his next transcension.”
“You have a point,” Song Shuhang said. “A single ‘Frenzied Strength Imparter’ is already more than enough for the world. There shouldn’t be many others who are able to impart their strength, if any at all.”
Young Master Phoenix Slayer: “…”
Was that a flag?
If it was a flag, would it be safer for him to get stamped as well?
❄️❄️❄️
The sky grew brighter as the sun rose higher.
Young Master Phoenix Slayer bade farewell to the others and left. He was now heading to True Monarch Yellow Mountain’s place to see Doudou and give him a congratulatory gift for his marriage. After that, he planned on closing up for a period of time.
Su Clan’s Sixteen had no classes today. As such, she planned on consolidating her realm after having that ‘crocodile leg feast’.
As for Shi, she headed back to her room and went to sleep.
Senior White Crane had already left earlier with the excuse of finding delicious food for Venerable White.
As a result, Song Shuhang was now left alone in the room.
Shuhang looked at the time, and saw that there were still a few hours before class.
What do I do now?
Should I go to the bookstore next door?
He hadn’t been to that female shopkeeper’s store for quite a while, causing him to become nostalgic… But, at this point, the shopkeeper had yet to open for the day.
Then, should I just review homework?
There was no need to—ever since he had become a cultivator, his memory had been growing stronger day by day. He would be able to remember all the contents of a textbook after reading it once. Therefore, there really was no need to review homework.
Then, should I just practice?
But I just borrowed Young Master Phoenix Slayer’s CPU, so it would be quite meaningless to practice again.
He remained deep in thought…
“I should go buy a phone,” Song Shuhang murmured.
He was really unused to not having a phone by his side, and the phone stores should all be open at this time.
In recent years, he had gotten used to buying phones directly from the official websites of those phone brands. It had already been years since he had bought a phone in a physical store.
Shuhang first turned on the computer and searched for the nearest and most complete phone store around him.
I should go to this one, this store’s products are relatively new, and I just happen to want to buy two new phones, Song Shuhang thought to himself.
Having selected the location, Song Shuhang brought out his treasured saber Broken Tyrant.
After using Young Master Phoenix Slayer’s CPU, Song Shuhang’s flying proficiency on the treasured saber had increased greatly. Now, he could already be regarded as an expert at riding a flying saber.
He skillfully poured his saber qi into the treasured saber, and he got the fat whale illusory core to pour the innate true yuan.
In the next moment, a complete set of ‘saber intent armor’ had formed on the treasured saber.
“❮Blade Dragging Technique❯!” Song Shuhang grabbed Broken Tyrant’s handle with his right arm, which was also the location of the leg of the saber intent armor.
“Whoosh～”
The treasured saber Broken Tyrant dragged him as it rushed into the sky.
Hm, it’s too fast, my hands are trembling, Song Shuhang said inwardly. After his experience had increased greatly, the flight speed of the ❮Blade Dragging Technique❯ also increased by a great margin, allowing it to fly faster.
It seemed that the matter of refining a [treasured saber customized for flight] had to be given more priority on the list of things to do. He wanted to make a door-sized saber with guardrails, and it would be best to add a tempered glass cover or something. Also, if it was possible, it would also be good to add a chair…
Song Shuhang thought about it, and grew more and more fond of the idea.
❄️❄️❄️
On the way to the phone store, Song Shuhang unexpectedly saw an acquaintance as he passed through a park.
It was a young man with a crew cut.
With a saber, a sword, and a staff on his back, the man had arrived in a groove deep in the park.
Then, he placed down the saber and the sword, and took out the staff.
He shut his eyes and meditated for a moment. Then, he moved, and a set of staff techniques was displayed. It was not some peerless staff technique, but rather just a very basic staff technique.
However… the ‘basic’ staff technique was seemingly based on a cultivation technique.
Song Shuhang, who was using the ❮Blade Dragging Technique❯, stopped. He jumped up, and stepped on the treasured saber Broken Tyrant. He continued to stay on top of the saber as he watched the man’s movements.
After finishing the basic staff moves, the man put the staff aside. Then, he raised his treasure sword and began to practice. What he was performing, similar to before, was a very basic sword technique.
After practicing with the sword, he put it away.
After practicing with the saber, he performed a basic fist technique.
Basic saber technique, basic fist technique, basic sword technique, basic staff technique.
After finishing all this, the man was left panting as he sat on a random part of the grassy area. Panting heavily, he drank water as he rested. He then brought out a well-balanced breakfast and ate it silently.
Song Shuhang: “…”
This young man was surnamed Li. As for the rest of his name, Song Shuhang wasn’t too sure.
This young man was once Song Shuhang’s instructor. However, he wasn’t a driving instructor, but rather a personal flight instructor. At that time, Song Shuhang called him ‘Instructor Li’.
It was this Little Li who accompanied Song Shuhang and Venerable White to space by accident, suddenly becoming an American astronaut and experiencing a series of tragic events.
In the end, it was True Monarch White Crane who took him back from the West.
After he got back to China, Instructor Little Li encountered Venerable White’s desertic illusory reality, and in that desert, he met a young man decked in a green robe riding a white horse.Afterward… well, there was no afterward.
Venerable White erased Little Li’s memory, and secretly compensated him.
Song Shuhang pinched his chin as he said to himself, “Sure enough, after repeatedly erasing his memories back then, Little Instructor Li’s memories could not be completely erased. He still remembers some of the things that happened to him.”
The saber, sword, staff, and fist techniques he was practicing all came from the young man wearing a green robe in Venerable White’s illusory reality.
However, these basic martial arts had no matching breathing method and formula.
They were fine to keep oneself fit, but it was almost impossible to use them to build the foundation and enter the world of cultivation. Moreover, Instructor Little Li had long missed the best age to cultivate, and he wasn’t a virgin, either.
Song Shuhang shook his head slightly, went back to riding the saber, and left the area…
