Chapter 1307 - 1306: Leng Pengfei
Rumble, rumble.Countless rumbling sounds rushed in as Tang Rao retracted his palms. He didn't expect the Dan Fire he had just condensed to be so large, resulting in several blisters on his palms when he was caught unprepared.
It was still a fortunate outcome; luckily, it was only blisters and not his hands being burned to a disability.
In the distance, the mountain had turned into an even larger heap of dirt than before. Outside the mound, Tang Rao saw Granny Hua's surprised expression and knew that the palm he just performed was evidently very successful.
"Granny Hua, how was my palm just now? Did it exceed your expectations?"
Tang Rao bounced around in front of Granny Hua as if to claim credit.
"Not enough yet. You should practice a few more times inside; when you can smash the mountain opposite into powder, that's when you'll be able to leave the Little World."
"Are you kidding me? You want me to smash this mountain into dust? That's impossible. How about smashing it into smaller pieces instead, Granny Hua?"
Granny Hua didn't listen to a single word of Tang Rao's negotiation; she wisely retreated before Tang Rao could propose his conditions.
Thinking about how to smash a mountain blessed with enhancements into dust from a distance was indeed too difficult for Tang Rao.
It's obvious that once Granny Hua makes a decision, no one can change it. He gave up resisting and instead began refining Dan Fire in his hand again, once more initiating the Quenching Fire Palm.
With a palm strike, the distant mountain was shattered again. Unfortunately, the mountain was only shattered; compared to Granny Hua's requirements, Tang Rao was still far off.
"Still not working. Could it be that even with my divine status combined with such awesome martial techniques, I can't smash the distant mountain?"
The mountain reverted to its original state. Had it not been for the additional blisters on Tang Rao's hands, he might have thought that he had hallucinated knocking down several mountains just now.
"You're relying only on your own strength and undeveloped martial techniques; it's naturally not working. Why not try using your Taotie Hand?"
The Powerful Soul, after performing a physical performance evaluation on Tang Rao, gave him a sincere suggestion.
Taotie Hand?
But using the Taotie Hand means he can't use the Quenching Fire Palm, and using the Quenching Fire Palm means the Taotie Hand can't be used again. Wanting to merge the two is indeed a daunting task.
"You think the Taotie Hand and the Quenching Fire Palm can't be merged? If you think that way, then you're greatly mistaken."
The Powerful Soul, even though he couldn't figure out how each of them was cultivated individually, could analyze that merging the two posed no problem at all.
Fortunately, Tang Rao didn't ask the Powerful Soul how he came to that analysis; otherwise, saying it was just a feeling would have been a bit embarrassing.
Unaware of this, Tang Rao bravely attempted to merge the Taotie Hand with the Quenching Fire Palm.
This was a lengthy process; if the outcome was positive, he could merge them. If negative, failure might counterattack Tang Rao; such a situation was possible, too.
Luckily, both martial techniques inherently belonged to fire-based techniques, making it easier to combine them performance-wise.
"The martial techniques can be merged, but how effective will they be?"
Tang Rao thought of several methods before finally merging the martial techniques, and it would truly be a waste not to use them.
This was Tang Rao's final attempt. If he failed again, he would discuss with Granny Hua and see if there's room for compromise.
It was his last resort and Tang Rao's final insistence.
"Tang Rao, don't give up easily. An unfocused strike will never be the most powerful!"
The Powerful Soul timely stopped Tang Rao's thoughts.
Humans all have an inertia, and Tang Rao is no exception. After prolonged battles, he also wants to find shortcuts. Yet the more he seeks retreat, the more Tang Rao's strength stagnates, so seeing Tang Rao's weakness, the Powerful Soul wanted to block Tang Rao's retreat.
"You figured it out. Seems putting you on me and letting you read my thoughts, uncover my mindset, is really not a good thing."
The Powerful Soul was obviously trying to help Tang Rao. In Tang Rao's eyes, whatever he did was wrong.
Even 'wrong,' Tang Rao still followed the Powerful Soul's advice.
The Taotie Hand replaced Tang Rao's original hand.
Tang Rao refined Dan Fire on the Taotie Hand, gathering all his Immortal Energy into his palm, combining it with Wind Martial Technique. This was Tang Rao's entirely new attempt, as he silently prayed when releasing martial techniques after invocation.
Tang Rao was so nervous that he even closed his eyes.
"Relax, maybe the result won't be as bad as you think."
The Powerful Soul comforted Tang Rao.
Everyone heard a louder explosion than before; only then did Tang Rao open his eyes and look ahead.
The mountain wasn't a mountain; it was dust that spread everywhere at the mere hint of the wind. Tang Rao didn't expect that he could succeed this quickly.
The Taotie Hand truly isn't just generally powerful.
"Did I succeed? Did I just succeed?"
Tang Rao rubbed his eyes and uncertainly looked again, finding indeed that this success had come really suddenly.
Before he could notify Granny Hua for inspection, she had already come in.
"Little guy, I truly didn't misjudge you. Your performance, I've watched closely. Seems like your comprehension is just slightly less than your son's."
Granny Hua gave Tang Rao a bittersweet compliment.
What does it mean that my comprehension is just slightly less than my son's? My son should be no match for me!
However, speaking of which, Tang Rao's son being more outstanding than Tang Rao proved that Tang Rao's genes didn't go awry. Tang Xiaobai is Tang Rao's biological son; if people praise Tang Xiaobai, isn't it indirectly praising Tang Rao?
"So did I pass this time?"
This was what Tang Rao wanted to ask most.
"There are no large stones, just smaller ones. But seeing you've made progress and sincerely gave your all, I can count you as passing."
Counting Tang Rao as passing? These words are somewhat forced, but as long as he passes, whether counted or not, Tang Rao is happy.
"Finally, I can leave. Huo Zhen, watch if I, Huo Qubing, won't tear you to pieces, then I'm not your ancestor."
Tang Rao just exited Granny Hua's Little World and walked around the Kao Shan Sect area. Sadly, the one he first waited for wasn't Huo Zhen but his increasingly sissified old acquaintance.
"Hey, Leng Pengfei, did you go for the transformation? This appearance shows you must have spent a fortune."
Tang Rao covered his mouth and laughed openly twice.
"What nonsense are you talking, Tang Rao? I'm not here to be laughed at by you today."
Not here to be laughed at? Leng Pengfei's orchid fingers almost poked the sky; wasn't it for Tang Rao's laughter, but to admire his orchid fingers?
"I'm watching you, I'm watching you. Your lipstick and skirt look really good."
