Chapter 738: Chapter 206 Chang Chun Skill Achieved, Unmatched Among Equals (10,000 Words Requesting Subscription)_3

Ah San finally showed a smile upon hearing the words, only feeling that Chen Jie’s words were so pleasant to hear.

Even feeling, why hadn’t he found Jiu Si’s words pleasant before?

The reason was simple. Previously, Chen Jie was just an Energy Transformation Martial Artist, a level below Ah San, and Ah San hardly paid him any attention.

Moreover, Chen Jie often discussed issues of policy with Zhao Ya, leaving Ah San baffled and unable to understand, so he viewed Chen Jie as a deceitful trickster without real skills.

But now, the view on Chen Jie had changed—inside the cave, Chen Jie had proven himself.

Apart from Ah Da, it was Chen Jie who had killed the most Clam Soldiers. Even Ah San had not killed as many as Chen Jie, and in the end, Chen Jie had saved everyone’s lives, so everyone viewed him with newfound respect.

This had caused Ah San to look at him with newfound respect and treat him as an equal.

Sometimes, interpersonal relationships are like this: if the statuses are unequal, you could say a thousand nice things and they wouldn’t care.

But if the statuses are equal, you don’t need to say much—a single nice word can delight the listener.

This was key to Ah San’s change in attitude towards Chen Jie, along with the fact that Chen Jie was sociable, and Ah San was clearly simple-minded with well-developed limbs.

With such people, you should never talk to them about policies, systems, or standards.

They would only grow weary of it. With such people, you need to talk about one thing, and that is martial power.

You cater to their preferences, praise what they excel in, and sure enough, soon Ah San had shared his situation.

It turned out that the Western Vajra Sect had been established for a century, always confined to one place, competing with local guilds, but later the Ruyang King sought wise people.

He sent someone to invite their master, Spirit Fire Master.

Then they followed their master to the Central Plains, and now their master was a top-rank Guest Elder in the Prince Mansion, receiving the same treatment as Xuanbing Second Elder.

Even their master’s martial arts were strong enough to overcome the Second Elders.

Because Spirit Fire Master was so powerful, they had been entrusted with high expectations and assigned to protect the Commandery Princess.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie asked, ”Are there many masters in the Prince Mansion?”

Ah San replied, ”Plenty. The Prince Mansion has over three hundred guests and elders, each a martial arts master.”

Hearing this, Chen Jie understood that not every master felt strong nationalistic sentiments and they would, due to their own interests, pledge loyalty to the Prince Mansion and suppress the Han people.

In this regard, Chen Jie was helpless.

The two chatted, especially about martial arts, down the long tunnel as the group walked for quite a while. Chen Jie said, ”Brother Ah San.”

Their relationship had progressed from Lord Ah San to Brother Ah San. Chen Jie mentioned, ”I noticed you used some moves from the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms while executing the Great Strength Vajra Palm. Have you also trained in that technique?”

Upon hearing this, Ah San laughed, ”I have, the Prince rewarded me with one palm.”

”Oh, which palm was that?”

Chen Jie asked curiously. Ah San replied, ”The seventh palm, Crossing the River!”

”Oh, the seventh palm?”

Chen Jie’s eyes lit up, while Ah San also looked at Chen Jie and said, ”Jiu Si, the palm you know, is it the fourth one, Dragon Fighting in the Wilderness?”

Chen Jie replied, ”Yes, Dragon Fighting in the Wilderness, its essence profound and mighty.”

Ah San and Chen Jie looked at each other and then both simultaneously suggested, ”How about we exchange?”

At this point, the two suddenly exchanged smiles, soon engaging in whispered conversations behind, occasionally exclaiming with realizations.

The people ahead turned to look at them, seeing both wearing nonchalant expressions, as if they hadn’t said much, but as soon they turned around, they immediately started gesturing while talking.

The two murmured all the way, their relationship growing incredibly cordial, to the point they could even consider each other brothers in the future.

This was no idle talk.

One was simple-minded, and the other good at socializing, after a conversation and swapping martial arts knowledge, they immediately became good friends, laughing and elevating their friendship several notches.

Just as they were talking, they suddenly saw Qimu Ge, who was walking in the team, spit out a mouthful of black blood.

Then he suddenly knelt on the ground. Seeing this, everyone at the scene was dumbfounded, wondering what was wrong.

At this moment, Yelu hurried over, then saw Qimu Ge kneeling, continuously vomiting black blood containing tiny shell fragments.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned. Yelu waved in the air, transforming the back of Qimu Ge’s robe, and everyone witnessed an unforgettable scene.

They saw Qimu Ge’s body covered densely with layers upon layers of shells, starting from the waist and spreading to his neck.

It appeared Qimu Ge was just like those Clam Soldiers they had encountered earlier.

Witnessing this horrifying scene, everyone gasped in shock. Yelu looked at Qimu Ge and said, ”Qimu Ge, are you alright?”

At this, Qimu Ge replied, ”It hurts, master, my whole body hurts.”

Hearing this, Yelu extended his hand, a layer of Gang Qi appearing, then grasped one of the shells on Qimu Ge’s body and forcefully tore it off.

Snap crackle...

The fallen shell landed on the ground, mouth clacking, and inside it contained Qimu Ge’s flesh, the tear having pulled off pieces of his flesh, causing him excruciating pain.

And the blood flowing from his body even contained tiny clams as fine as sand.

Seeing this, everyone’s scalp tingled—this, he had become a breeding ground for clam shells!
