“Useless, I am useless!”
When the Defense Commander returned to the military camp in anger, he saw Jiangbei, who he had brought over yesterday, still in a state of delirium, still unable to move on from the shadow of being defeated by a suit of armor and losing all his lifetime gains.
Having experienced the same thing, the Defense Commander identified with his colleague’s feelings, but seeing his panicked demeanor still infuriated him. “As martial artists, how can we be so defeated?!”
Although he knew that Jiangbei’s inability to emerge from his shadow was due to his limited experience and not understanding whom he had provoked, thus breaking his mental defenses, his current behavior still incensed the commander-
“Useless! Have you never lost a fight? After each defeat, do you dwell on it endlessly?”
The enraged Defense Commander, disregarding the restraint of his soldiers, grabbed Jiangbei by the collar and roared at him.
After all, he couldn’t take action against the officials at the residence, but he could beat up the guy in front of him, and no one would question it.
In sparring between martial artists, it’s common to get injured, bleed, or even lose a limb. What’s a little flesh wound? Complaining would only bring mockery.
“If you’ve been knocked down, train hard in martial arts, and one day hit back!”
“How do I fight back?”
Jiangbei, not having lost his senses, looked up at the Defense Commander with an inquiring expression, bewildered.
At this question, the Defense Commander was left speechless. He had witnessed the learning ability of the dragon armor. In terms of martial arts, he didn’t know any martial artist who could confront it!
Perhaps it could be suppressed in the initial stage, but once given time to learn, it would eventually overpower them. Moreover, it would use the techniques it had learnt from them. There was nothing more disarming than this. Even the most unyielding martial artist would lose his will after witnessing this.
“You’ve seen that suit of armor too, haven’t you?
Jiangbei could guess that the commander in front of him had probably seen it too, judging from his extremely unstable mood, simmering with suppressed rage and frustration.
“I have seen it!”
The Defense Commander answered, darkly.
“Do you think we can defeat it?”
Jiangbei asked. Without waiting for the commander’s response, he shook his head.
“We can’t win. As long as it’s human, it can’t be beaten. It learned to ‘Intend’ in just one night. How could we, as human beings, possibly defeat such a monster?”
“If we can’t beat it on equal grounds, then we’ll use greater power to crush it, it’s just a suit of armor!”
The Defense Commander replied with indignation.
By saying this, he had essentially admitted defeat, acknowledging that he was inferior to just a suit of armor. He had no way of winning when their powers were equal.
“I don’t believe it can constantly train and grow stronger like us!”
“What is the background of its owner?”
Jiangbei suddenly remembered something and quickly asked. He almost forgot who he initially wanted to challenge. He lost control because he inadvertently fought with the armor instead.
“Its owner?”
The Defense Commander was taken aback, his expression twisted.
“Sir Cheng, what exactly is the background of this young master?”
Jiangbei asked impatiently. He had overheard a conversation at the official residence yesterday, but he was still engrossed in his failure at the time and couldn’t pull himself out of it. But now he understood and was able to shake off some of the shadow of his failure.
“His older brother was the top scholar who passed the Six Dominant Scholar Exam three years ago!”
The Defense Commander slowly exhaled.
“What does that have to do with the armor?” Jiangbei was confused.
“Do you know how old his brother is?”
The Defense Commander looked at Jiangbei. He was really an ignorant brute.
He even dared to challenge others without inquiring about their identities first. No wonder he was beaten so miserably.
“How old?”
Jiangbei was even more confused. What did this have to do with him being beaten so badly?
“Counting the years, he should have just turned sixteen!”
“Sixteen? Three years ago, wasn’t he the top scholar at the age of thirteen?”
Jiangbei was dumbfounded. Although he didn’t care about scholars, he was aware of the basics. How could there be a top scholar this young? Shouldn’t he just be starting his studies at this age?
“Do you know why he was able to pass Six Dominant Scholar Exam?”
“Why?”
Jiangbei’s curiosity was piqued.
“Because…”
The Defense Commander slowly revealed everything he knew. For martial artists at their level, these were secrets they could know, given their encounters with demons and ghosts.
“This sort of figure, aren’t they a reincarnated heavenly person?”
The more Jiangbei heard, the more shocked he was. He couldn’t help but exclaim after hearing everything.
“Who could argue with that!”
The Defense Commander agreed completely. It was a recognized fact. No one in the Da Jin top ranks considered Feng Qingping as an ordinary person. It was generally assumed he was a heavenly person who had descended to endure tribulations.
“So his younger brother, also known as Second Young Master Feng, is he a heavenly person too?”
Jiangbei had completely come out of his reverie by now. Knowing the illustrious background of his opponent, he felt less disappointed.. Was it strange that an armor worn by a heavenly person, proficient in martial arts, could crush them?
