NOVEL NEXT Chapter 187 Who is braver? The result will be determined by one strike
Lu Chengwen laughed and was about to speak when Long Aotian answered first:
"Two! It's equal to two! I got it right!"
Long Aotian grimaced and gritted his teeth, "Ask again, and it's fourteen!"
"It's also equal to nine thousand one hundred and twenty-four, to nine thousand one hundred and twenty-five."
"It's also equal to x plus y minus z multiplied by Delta cubed and then divided by the fruit of pi."
"Finally, it's equal to a triangle."
Long Aotian said angrily, "What else do you have to say!?"
Even Zhuge Xiaohua was stunned.
What nonsense is Young Master talking about!?
How can one plus one equal so many messy things?
Little did she know that this was the pain in her young master's heart! The memory was too deep.
Looking at Lu Chengwen and Hua Xuening again, they were both shocked.
Hun Tian罡 nodded, "The eldest disciple has made progress."
Lu Chengwen thought for a moment, walked over, and smiled as he rubbed his master's shoulders, "Master, your cervical vertebrae haven't been feeling well lately, have they? Are you tired?"
"Of course!" Hun Tian罡 sat on a stone, "That stone pillow is different from the one I used to have. I thought I'd cut it again. I've been sleeping with sore waists and knees these days, and I even got a stiff neck a few days ago... Are my shoulders okay?"
"It's a little hard. Don't move. I'll rub it for you."
"Hmm."
Long Aotian watched Lu Chengwen currying favor there and gritted his teeth, "Flatterer."
Lu Chengwen smiled, "Master, this is a competition. We should say what we're comparing, how we're comparing, and how we're going to win. Besides, we've already compared what we've compared before, so there's no point in comparing it again. We already know the answer!"
"Ah, right, you have a point."
Hun Tian罡 waved his hand, "I declare that the last round doesn't count!"
Lu Chengwen pinched Hun Tian罡's shoulders, whispered flattering words in his ear, and stared at Zhuge Xiaohua with a lewd smile.
Zhuge Xiaohua gritted her teeth in hatred as she looked at Lu Chengwen's greasy expression.
Biting her silver teeth, she slowly pulled out her short knife.
Just then, she heard Hua Xuening's long sword being slowly drawn out in sync behind her.
Zhuge Xiaohua was so angry!
Lu Chengwen alone was annoying enough! How could Hua Xuening be even more infuriating than him!?
Zhuge Xiaohua sheathed her short knife with a whoosh and turned her head angrily, "Hua Xuening! What's wrong with you? Why are you always staring at me?!"
"I can't help it." Hua Xuening looked distressed.
Zhuge Xiaohua knew that she was just silly, not betraying, and she felt both angry and heartbroken.
Zhuge Xiaohua pulled Hua Xuening aside and whispered, "What are you doing!? Do you still want to return to Young Master's side?"
Hua Xuening said with a mournful face, "Yes."
"Then what should you do? Don't you know?"
Hua Xuening drew out her sword, "We should kill Young Master!"
Zhuge Xiaohua was stunned, "What kind of love potion did Lu Chengwen give you? What kind of logic is that?"
"It sounds crazy, but that's the logic."
Zhuge Xiaohua gritted her teeth, "Behave yourself! When Young Master defeats Lu Chengwen and successfully advances to the top four masters, he will be so happy that we will all plead for you, and then you can come back. And then..."
Zhuge Xiaohua blushed a little shyly, "Let Young Master restore your spiritual sense first."
Hua Xuening shook her head, "Young Master can't win."
"What did you say?"
Hua Xuening took a deep breath, "I've personally witnessed many matches between Young Master and CEO Lu, and Young Master has never been able to gain an advantage over CEO Lu. Especially in front of Hun Tian罡, CEO Lu... is indeed smarter than Young Master."
Zhuge Xiaohua looked at her in shock, "What nonsense are you talking about? That's Young Master! The smartest man in the world, the inheritor of the King's domineering power! A gifted young genius, no one in the world is better than him!"
Hua Xuening shook her head, "Except for CEO Lu."
"CEO Lu, CEO Lu... You always..." Zhuge Xiaohua said, "Okay, I'll bet you. If Lu Chengwen wins, you and I will go and be his maids! If he loses, you come back to me obediently and apologize to Young Master!"
Hua Xuening looked at the fuming Zhuge Xiaohua, suddenly smiled, and comforted her, "Sister Xiaohua I'm not stupid."
Hun Tian罡 sat there and sighed, "How about this, you two compete three times, with courage, filial piety, and wisdom as the topics, best of three rounds. How about it?"
Lu Chengwen and Long Aotian knelt together, "We obey Master's orders!"
"Hmm." Hun Tian罡 nodded in satisfaction, "Do either of you know the allusion to 'cutting one's flesh to feed another'?"
Long Aotian nodded, "Legend has it that in ancient times, there were two warriors, one living in the east city and one living in the west city. One day they met and made an appointment to drink together."
"Halfway through the drink, they ran out of meat. One of them suggested going to buy some, but the other one said, 'We are both brave men. Buying meat is too troublesome. Don't we have meat on ourselves?' So one of them took a knife and cut the meat from his own body, dipped it in sauce, and ate it."
Zhuge Xiaohua listened with horror, "What happened then?"
Lu Chengwen's face also looked a little gloomy, "They bled too much and both died."
Zhuge Xiaohua and Hua Xuening looked at each other.
What was that!? Was that called courage? That was called being stupid!
How could this be compared?
Hun Tian罡 took out a dagger and threw it in front of the two of them.
"You two, take turns stabbing yourselves. Whoever bleeds more wins."
Long Aotian almost died of anger.
He thought to himself, "Are you serious? This... Is this going to kill us both?"
Lu Chengwen also hesitated.
If this goes on, we'll both die here before we even get promoted. This is not a competition of who is braver, but a competition of who is more foolish!
This is a competition of who has more blood!
Hun Tian罡 said, "What's wrong? Afraid? You two cowards! If you're both afraid, there's no need to compare. Go home and save yourselves the embarrassment in front of me."
Lu Chengwen gave an awkward smile, "Senior brother, please go first."
Long Aotian also quickly said politely, "No, no, Junior brother, please go first."
"Oh, you are the senior brother. Please go first."
"No, no, you are the junior brother. I have to let you go first."
Hun Tian罡 got impatient, "Are you going to start or not? Long Aotian, you are the senior brother, you go first!"
Long Aotian had no choice but to pick up the knife thought for a moment, pricked his fingertip, and exposed a little blood bead, which was considered bleeding.
Lu Chengwen thought to himself:
[You're cunning enough! Even making a blood oath would draw more blood than you!]
[I just took a small Haitian pill. I'm not afraid of you!]
Lu Chengwen gently cut a small layer of skin on his finger, two drops of blood.
Lu Chengwen smiled and handed the knife back to Long Aotian, "Senior brother, I'll take the lead."
Long Aotian took the knife with a sullen face, just about to stab himself hard, Zhuge Xiaohua came over, "Young Master, a word in private."
"What's the matter?"
"Young Master, you don't have to win this round."
"Why?"
"Lu Chengwen took a small Huitian pill, his wounds healed faster. And if you are seriously injured in this round because of this absurd competition, it will delay your next two rounds of comparison. So... I think we should strategically abandon the first round."
Long Aotian nodded, "Okay, I understand."
After Long Aotian came back, he thought about it. It would be better if I forced you to seriously injure yourself first so that it would be advantageous to me in the next round.
Anyway, no matter what, I'm the first mover, you're the second mover, and your injury must be heavier than mine.
Thinking of this, Long Aotian gritted his teeth and gently stabbed his left leg.
With one stab, it was actually only a finger-long wound.
Although the injury was not serious, the blood did stain his pants red.
It looked much more terrifying than before. If Lu Chengwen didn't show his ruthlessness and bleed a lot, the picture would definitely not be better than this.
Long Aotian's thigh was injured, but there was a proud smile on his face.
He threw the knife at Lu Chengwen's knees with a smug look, "Junior brother, it's your turn. Who's tougher? Haha, you're not even close!"
Lu Chengwen picked up the knife, scratching his ears and cheeks, at a loss for what to do.
Zhuge Xiaohua behind him nodded, thinking to herself:
Young Master is so smart! This move is even better than I thought. By visual inspection, the tip of the knife only penetrated the depth of one phalanx, and the stabbing position is also the bleeding position, which can cause more bleeding. It looks scary, but it is actually a slight flesh wound.
But if Lu Chengwen wants to be more "courageous" than Young Master, he has to be bold and suffer a bit.
Small Huitian pill?
Hmph, no matter how powerful the medicine is, it takes time. Let's see how you recover!
Lu Chengwen gestured, changed his posture, and fiddled for a long time, but refused to strike.
Long Aotian was so anxious that he kept urging him:
"Hey, hey, hey, how long are you going to fiddle? We've been kneeling here waiting for you for a long time, are we going to stay like this forever?"
"Oh, come on! Be a man! Are you afraid of pain or blood? If you're so afraid, just admit defeat! It's a waste of everyone's time to hesitate like this!"
"Little Junior brother, I can tell that you are a coward! In this round, you either stab yourself in the thigh with a knife, or admit defeat quickly."
"Relax! No need to gesture anymore! Just do it quickly, just like I did just now, one stab and it's all settled! How about this, if you dare to stab the knife in all the way, without the blade exposed, I will automatically admit defeat, okay?"
Lu Chengwen inhaled deeply, gestured repeatedly, and shouted strangely, "Just one stab, just one stab, just one stab! One stab to decide the winner! I'll fight you! Aaaaah! Ooooh! Uuuh! Hehehe..."
Long Aotian over there was even cheering him on, wishing that Lu Cheng would stab his heart instead of his thigh.
Long Aotian: "Come on! Go for it! Stab it down! Go for it, Little Junior brother! I'm rooting for you!"
Lu Chengwen: "I'm going to stab it! I'm going to stab it! I'm going to stab it!"
Long Aotian: "Stab it! It's just a matter of getting it over with! Once you stab it down, everything will be settled!"
Lu Chengwen: "Just one stab, just one stab, just one stab!"
Long Aotian: "Grit your teeth and stab it down!"
Lu Chengwen: "No one can stop me! No one can stop me!"
Long Aotian: "Stab it down, and you win! Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and stab it!"
Lu Chengwen: "I'm going to stab it!"
Long Aotian: "Stab it!"
Lu Chengwen: "I'm really going to stab it!"
Long Aotian: "Stab it!"
Lu Chengwen: "I'll stab it!"
Long Aotian: "Stab--!"
Lu Chengwen held the knife with both hands and shouted, "I'm going all out!"
Pfft!
Lu Chengwen stabbed!
He stabbed right into Long Aotian's other leg.
The knife was really stabbed in all the way, without any blade left outside, a merciless stab.
Long Aotian looked at Lu Chengwen in shock, Lu Chengwen gasped for breath, sweating profusely:
"Senior brother, how is it? Can you still take it?"
Long Aotian looked down at his bloody thigh and gritted his teeth, "You..."
Long Aotian was about to slap Lu Chengwen to death, Lu Chengwen saw that this was not going to work, so he gripped the handle of the knife with both hands and twisted it hard...
Long Aotian gasped in pain, his eyes went black, and he almost fainted.
