Chapter 396: A Weird Gathering

If people looked at his clothes carefully, they could clearly tell that the Confucian robe worn by the young man was exactly in the Tranquility Academy style.

Ding Hao’s pupils shrank, and he knew the man’s identity in an instant.

It was Jiang Disheng.

Superciliously, the name was very vulgar; it didn’t attract people’s attention. But if people knew—that the person with such a name, a representative of the younger generation in the Tranquility Academy was able to fight against Mu Tianyang—they would not dare to despise him.

According to the information offered by the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, Jiang Disheng was also a very horrible person. Before Mu Tianyang’s rise, Jiang Disheng was the number one person in the Tranquility Academy, with countless halos shining over him. His cultivation speed shook the whole Snow Province, and he set the record of being the youngest person entering the Primordial Grand-master Realm. Jiang Disheng was regarded as the uncontested head of the Tranquility Academy in the future. Jiang Disheng was very elegant and unique for a while.

At the beginning of Mu Tianyang’s rise, Jiang Disheng could compete with Mu Tianyang and was not weaker than him.

Unfortunately Mu Tianyang was too amazing. Later, he gradually surpassed Jiang Disheng and broke all kinds of cultivation records previously set by him. Then he finally defeated Jiang Disheng in a face-to-face contest. Mu Tianyang’s individual reputation dimmed the shine that all the geniuses in the Snow Province had. Among the Tranquility Academy’s new generation, he was the only powerful man who could compete with Mu Tianyang.

It was said that his previous name was not Jiang Disheng. He specially changed his previous name to Jiang Disheng in order to show his opposition to Mu Tianyang.

Tianyang and Disheng used to represent the most powerful strength of the new generation in the Tranquility Academy and they were regarded as the Double Pride of the Tranquility Academy.

It was rumored that Mu Tianyang appraised Jiang Disheng personally, and assessed that he could fight against him.

Unfortunately a mountain was not a place for two tigers. Jiang Disheng was brilliant, but he was still a little bit far away from Mu Tianyang. After a long catching-up, he was still under Mu Tianyang’s shadow. From the past struggles and confrontations to the present depression, Jiang Disheng had not gotten rid of Mu Tianyang’s shadow. Finally, in the recent ten years, Jiang Disheng gradually became accustomed with his reputation being not distinguished, and he was also restrained; being so, he was about to be forgotten.

At the moment, Mu Tianyang was simple, clean, lofty and domineering in manner, but Jiang Disheng was untidy and dirty, so he was too far away from Mu Tianyang. It was just like one up in the heavens and the other on earth. But even so, real superiors never dared to look down on him. Ten years before, he was the existence in the Primordial Grand-master Realm. Several years had passed; even if he had been surpassed, he should not be underestimated.

Unexpectedly, even that monster had also appeared in the pub.

“Why did he come?”

When Ding Hao stared blankly, Jiang Disheng was staggering like a drunken man. He fell in Ding Hao’s direction, with a sour odor out of being unbathed for a long time blowing toward Ding Hao.

Ding Hao changed his face and tapped his fingers gently on the table.

“Bang!”

Jiang Disheng’s footsteps suddenly stopped, and with a tearing sound, his dirty Confucian robe was torn open.

Jiang Disheng felt a little bit surprised; his expression covered under the messy hair flashed momentarily. He suddenly burst into laughter. Saying nothing, he stumbled to another empty table not far away. Sitting down on his own and taking out all kinds of delicious food and wine from the storage ring, he began to eat and drink as if there were no one else present.

Xia Nishang, the Sky Wind Evil Girl of the Thunder Sect, who was sitting at the next table frowned. Jiang Disheng’s sour smell was really unacceptable to a girl like her, who enjoyed beauty and had a habit of cleanliness.

On the other side, the Reincarnation Holy Son and the Saint Girl of the Dependent Arising Sect also slightly frowned. A layer of invisible ripples twinkled around them, isolating the smell.

“How can that dirty beggar come out in disgrace again?” Next to Xia Nishang, the Thunder Dragon of the Ninth Heaven, one of the Double Wind and Lightning from the Thunder Sect snorted coldly and said with a sneer, “Is the ‘has been’ still refusing to admit defeat? How pitiful!”

The voice was neither loud nor low, but it was clear to all the people in the pub. Obviously, it was intentionally said to Jiang Disheng.

However, Jiang Disheng, who was eating and drinking extravagantly like wind blowing the scattered clouds away, seemed not to have heard what the girl had said. It was unknown whether he feared or disdained to talk back; he had not made any type of response in any case.

Witnessing such a sight, many people felt deeply sorry for Jiang Disheng. If it was the former Jiang Disheng, he would have drawn his sword in a flash—In fact, if it were the former Jiang Disheng, the Thunder Dragon of the Ninth Heaven wouldn’t have dared to say such words. Since the situation could only make people sigh, given that the road of martial arts was cruel and merciless, even if one had once been a superior, all people including his allies would step on him when he was defeated.

However, Ding Hao showed no contempt for Jiang Disheng.

A drop of blood dripped from his fingertip on the table.

Just at that moment, the two fought secretly. Although Ding Hao’s secret strength stopped Jiang Disheng’s staggering steps, the rebounding force broke his fingertips. Such strength was not below Ding Hao’s. Moreover, the strong divine sense and the sixth sense intuition developed by the Mind Essential Technique made Ding Hao feel that a horrible power like an ancient large beast remained dormant in Jiang Disheng, though he seemed to be down.

…

With Jiang Disheng’s arrival, the pub, which was not too large, was almost full, and only one empty table was left in the end.

Ding Hao had a little expectation.

Since that day, for some reason, top masters of the young generation in the Snow Province had gathered there. Would Mu Tianyang, with his own light shining over almost all geniuses in the Snow Province, come?

The previous year they met, at that time, Ding Hao was just a new hand. A fierce beast could have killed Ding Hao. Being faced with Mu Tianyang’s like tide momentum, he had no resistance at all and could only make a three-year appointment full of humiliation. Mu Tianyang’s high attitude seemed to be the alms-giving. At that moment, Ding Hao had become the top young master who could turn up his nose at the young generation in the Snow Province, and was entitled to fight against Mu Tianyang.

If Mu Tianyang appeared, Ding Hao hoped to have a good observation, to see how powerful his old enemy was.

The previous year, Mu Tianyang was at the peak in the Primordial Grand-master Realm.

More than one year had passed since their last encounter; with his crazy cultivating speed, he could have been promoted to the Martial King Realm.

Ding Hao thought about his own combat strength secretly. At the moment if he fought against Mu Tianyang, perhaps he could not defeat him, but at least he needn’t worry about his own life.

Unfortunately Ding Hao felt disappointed, because Mu Tianyang did not show up. The table at the center of the hall was still empty.

The atmosphere was a little bit weird in the pub.
