Chapter 390 Psychic Needle
Humph!
Masika got mad and snorted embarra.s.sedly. If it had not been for the rewards, Masika would have left right away.
In contrast, Tom Rein wasn"t depressed, and he even said with a sneer, “There is no difference between the sixth place and the seventh place. Anyway, we can both have three martial arts manuals in the end.”
Tom Rein didn"t seem to care about the ranking, but Masika thought she just became the object of ridicule. Tom Rein"s att.i.tude undoubtedly irritated her.
Three foreign masters died and the other two had lost the qualification to challenge others. Therefore, only those masters from Celestial Empire would take part in the following duels.
After almost one hour, the final top-ten… to be exact, the top-seven list was completely finalized.
There was no doubt that Liu Feng ranked first. Su Mo took the second place due to her well-recognized strength. Han Yichen was the third after several fierce fights. The fourth was Chen Xin. Even Han Yichen was afraid of this bold and powerful girl.
Duan Xiaofeng ranked fifth. In fact, Duan Xiaofeng wasn"t capable of ranking in the top 5. However, the foreign masters were almost exhausted before they encountered Duan Xiaofeng. Therefore, Duan Xiaofeng was a real lucky person.
Masika ranked sixth and Tom Rein ranked seventh. After two days of fighting, the Hidden Dragon Duel officially came to an end.
After that, the ranking list and other news of the Hidden Dragon Duel spread to all the Asiean countries at once.
In a humble Taoist temple of Wudang Mountain, Xu Tingfei and Zhou Yi were sitting in front of a computer to read the ranking list.
Snap!
Xu Tingfei thumped the table as he stood up and shouted, “Great! He never lets me down.”
“Oh, G.o.d, Old Xu, you scared me a lot.” Zhou Yi turned his head slightly and looked oddly at Xu Tingfei.
Hha!
Xu Tingfei laughed and said, “Why are you so shocked? I am really happy. I have told you that Liu Feng can make it. He did rank first!”
Come on!
Zhou Yi pouted and said, “I shouldn"t have given in at the beginning. You said that he should return to the army since he used to be a member of the Heavenly Sword. But our National Security Department also needs such a talent!”
“Hha! This shows that I"m a man of vision. Understand?” Xu Tingfei swept his arm over Zhou Yi"s shoulder and said joyfully, “But I also promise that I will second Liu Feng to help you if you have a knotty problem that people of the National Security Department can"t solve. But it"s up to Liu Feng to make the final decision, haw-haw!”
Xu Tingfei couldn"t help laughing once he mentioned Liu Feng.
But Zhou Yi looked frustrated as if he had lost a treasure.
“Well, Liu Feng won the first place in the Hidden Dragon Duel. Therefore, he will gain a real right of immunity for one time, which is the same treatment as the saint of Celestial Empire. By that time, he will be able to revenge for the last generation of the Heavenly Sword. He will also wipe out the disgrace of the Top Secret Troops.” Xu Tingfei became more excited as he said. But he looked grave when he talked about the previous Heavenly Sword.
“It is time to severely punish those arrogant guys.”
Zhou Yi also said seriously, “Don"t forget those old guys from the powerful families. They knew that their children and grandchildren had done harm to the national interest, but they pretended that nothing happened. I had formerly been in the Top Secret Troops. Therefore, I won"t stand by if Liu Feng really kicks up a dust.”
Xu Tingfei and Zhou Yi looked at each other slyly.
“Let"s go. The Old Ghost will come soon. Let"s head for the Purple Bamboo Wood.”
“I"ve heard that a legendary figure had been living in the Purple Bamboo Wood. I am kind of nervous.”
Two important figures got up and walked out of the Taoist temple.
Meanwhile, many powerful forces and the military of Asiean countries were also shocked.
In an ancient temple in Indousia, a group of monks in outlandish clothes were sitting with several important figures in military uniforms. They all looked drawn.
“The first is Liu Feng. The second is Su Mo. Han Yichen ranks third. And the fourth…. D*mn it, the masters of our country did rank in the top 10, but they actually died in the end.”
“The dead cannot rank in the Hidden Dragon Duel. It"s a cruel contest. But we are unwilling to accept the defeat!”
“Asieans tend to believe in destiny. People compare their strength with each other in the Hidden Dragon Duel. What"s more, the countries compare destiny and national soft power with each other, too. Celestial Empire is no longer what it used to be ten years ago. Judging from the power of those outstanding martial artists, you can realize that this country is getting stronger and stronger.”
In a luxurious manor in Intia, military celebrities, other important figures of super castes, and three master priests of Intia were sitting around.
These people looked even more sullen. Although Masika from Intia didn"t get knocked out, she had become the laughingstock of the Hidden Dragon Duel.
“They push us too hard. It"s obviously that the old Taoist from Wudang Sect made trouble for us deliberately during the Hidden Dragon Duel.”
“It seemed that the old Taoist was kind of mighty. But in fact, our younger generation is not good enough. It also shows the gap between our country and Celestial Empire in national strength!”
“I can"t stand it anymore. The guy named Liu Feng killed the most prominent descendants of our Sanskritic people. We will not let him go.”
Compared with the furious Intian people, people from other countries were much calmer. After all, Celestial Empire was indeed the strongest country in Asiea. The military and those martial arts sects had invested a lot in training the younger generation. This exactly showed the national strength.
In Siam, however, there were two quite different views on this phenomenon.
The military of Siam was more open-minded about the failure. However, in Dada Temple, three old monks were totally mad because of the death of Selinbo.
“D*mn it. Selinbo was actually blown to bits. We must kill Liu Feng.”
“That"s right. If we don"t kill him, we"ll lay the Muay Thai open to ridicule.”
“We shall kill him as sudden as a thunderbolt so that we can avoid alerting the martial arts world of Celestial Empire.”
These old monks in Dada Temple were the real Muay Thai masters. After they decided to kill Liu Feng, two middle-aged masters left for Celestial Empire that night.
At the same time, Liu Feng and other martial artists were taken to a big Taoist temple named Pure Yang Taoist Temple.
The other six were waiting outside the temple. Liu Feng, the first of the Hidden Dragon Duel, was taken into the hall of Pure Yang Taoist Temple alone.
Sitting on a rush cushion, Ferocius pushed two boxes forward, “Kid, start with the books about cultivation methods. You can choose three of your favorite manuals. And I"ll ask someone to duplicate the rest 27 manuals for you.”
“Okay!”
Liu Feng opened the boxes and asked while choosing the books, “Well, Master Ferocius, there are so many cultivation methods. Would you mind recommending one to me?”
Hearing the question, Ferocius looked at Liu Feng with appreciation and said, “One of these manuals is very suitable for you. Psychic Needle is a fierce cultivation method about pure psychic force. I mean, you can also practice this skill though you haven"t reached the Legendary Level. And the Psychic Needle will become more powerful as you improve your level of martial art.”
Ah!
Liu Feng hurried to find the thinnest one from 30 manuals.
This was obviously a handwritten manual about the cultivation method. On the book cover, two characters “Psychic Needle” were written in regular script. And the calligraphy was vigorous and forceful.
Liu Feng was surprised to find that he was really familiar with the handwriting of the two characters.
Liu Feng immediately opened the manual. And he looked up in shock when he saw the tiny characters. “This is….”
