Dragon's Origin

Song Yan left for a little over two months, promising Wang Sheng would help her after three months, but Wang Sheng still only knew that Song Yan wanted him to help kill a monster, but he had no idea what kind of monster or what the situation was.

Wang Sheng knew from the moment Song Yan entered the door. It was a strange intuition, a skill Wang Sheng had developed on Earth. As a top sniper, wouldn't it be a joke if he couldn't remember some important targets?

However, Wang Sheng didn't press the issue since Song Yan didn't mention it. Anyway, their cooperation was only temporary, and Wang Sheng would definitely leave once he successfully entered the first level of the spiritual realm.

Song Yan didn't come alone. Wang Sheng also recognized the person who came with Song Yan, the terrifying expert who could punch an opponent's throat and knock out half of their spine, whose name sounded a bit silly: Old Yu Shu.

Song Yan didn't treat herself like an outsider at all, acting as if she were the owner. Old Yu Shu was the same. He didn't say much, nodding to Wang Sheng before heading straight to the kitchen. After a while, he returned to Wang Sheng and Song Yan with a pile of white sugar and a small packet of salt.

"What is this?" Song Yan had heard about the big commotion Wang Sheng had caused while she was away and hadn't believed it until now. Seeing the pile of white sugar and the fine white powder she had never seen before, she couldn't help but believe it a little.

"Salt," Wang Sheng replied seriously. This was for Wang Sheng himself to eat. He couldn't stomach the crude salt that hadn't been detoxified or filtered. This wasn't wilderness survival with no options; he wanted his food to be refined.

Song Yan's eyes widened. This was salt? Although Song Yan's status was only that of a distant relative in the Song family of Shanglin, she was still knowledgeable. These snow-white, fine particles looked even better than the refined salt used by wealthy families. Snow sugar was already a huge business. What would happen if this kind of salt appeared on the market?

"You are the Song family's son-in-law; how can you give snow sugar to outsiders?" Unlike Song Yan's restraint, Old Yu Shu spoke much more directly, even with a questioning tone.

"Little Yan is a member of the Wang family, so why not talk about moving the Song family's gold, silver, and treasures over here?" Wang Sheng didn't like Old Song Yu's words. Regardless of whether the fiancé thing was true or not, even if it was, why should he give his things to them?

Old Song Yu was momentarily speechless. Some things he considered self-evident didn't seem to hold up to scrutiny. That's right, when Wang Sheng asked in return, Old Song Yu was speechless.

In fact, this wasn't just Old Song Yu's view; almost all the higher-ups who knew about this probably thought the same way. They were trying every possible way to win over Wang Sheng, making sure that Wang Sheng handed over the method of making snow sugar to the Song family.

However, after Song Yan saw the refined salt Wang Sheng was eating, she quickly changed her mind. Sugar was something for wealthy families to enjoy; ordinary people couldn't afford it. But salt was different; everyone needed it, and they needed it every day. If the refined salt business took off, the scale could be ten times larger than snow sugar.

"I'm sorry! Old Yu Shu was just speaking out of turn," Song Yan immediately apologized, not for herself, but for Old Yu Shu. Although Old Yu Shu was just a servant, he was like a senior member of Song Yan's family. He had a stubborn temper and would never lower his head to apologize.

"Whatever!" Wang Sheng didn't care. Song Yan was just someone he had met by chance, with a little more interaction. Wang Sheng wasn't stupid enough to think of Song Yan as his fiancée just because of this. He could see through such an obvious shield.

"Can the salt business be handed over to the Song family?" Seeing Wang Sheng's indifference, Song Yan didn't beat around the bush and directly made the request.

"What's in it for me?" Song Yan was direct, and Wang Sheng was even more direct. If outsiders saw their current situation, they definitely wouldn't think they were a betrothed couple, but rather two businessmen.

"If you don't hand it over, you won't be able to leave Shanglin City," Old Yu Shu interjected, directly threatening, "Don't think you're a big deal just because you killed a few lackeys from Worry-Free City."

In front of this terrifying Old Yu Shu, even a third-level assassin from Worry-Free City was just a lackey. Strength was one aspect, but Wang Sheng could also hear something else in his tone: the Song family definitely already knew that he had killed the Worry-Free City assassin.

Wang Sheng didn't think that the school teacher would hide it for long. If the Song family didn't even have this ability, then they wouldn't be worthy of being the Song family. Wang Sheng just didn't expect that even a servant of a distant relative of a side branch of the Song family knew about it. Had this matter already become common knowledge?

"Killing a few lackeys is indeed nothing great," Wang Sheng smiled slightly, replying to Old Yu Shu, "However, Shanglin City is a place where I can come and go as I please, and it's really not that difficult."

"What big words!" Old Yu Shu was really angry. If it were just the useless members of the Song family of Shanglin, Wang Sheng might really be able to come and go as he pleased, but to say such words in front of him, a third-level expert, wasn't that putting him down?

A small, unranked Yuan Soul kid, a guy who couldn't possibly enter the first level of the spiritual realm in his entire life, actually dared to be so arrogant in front of him? If he didn't give Wang Sheng a little lesson, who knew how high this ignorant guy would fly.

He acted as soon as he spoke. Old Yu Shu didn't hesitate at all, nor did he give any warning. Even if the young lady was right next to him, it was the same. Old Yu Shu just wanted to teach Wang Sheng a good lesson, to let Wang Sheng know how to respect the young lady and himself.

Whoosh, Old Yu Shu punched towards Wang Sheng, of course, he held back his strength, not using any spiritual energy. The young lady still wanted to subdue this kid, he couldn't kill him.

The moment Old Yu Shu moved, Wang Sheng's body, which had been sitting, popped up as if it had a powerful spring installed. A strange light radiated from his eyes, and he reached out to push towards Old Yu Shu's wrist.

Wang Sheng had seen Old Yu Shu's terrifying skills when he killed Dai Huan, so he naturally knew that he was no match for Old Yu Shu if he fought him head-on. However, this world didn't yet have Tai Chi, which was derived from Daoist culture and used slowness to overcome speed, stillness to control movement, and softness to overcome hardness. It shouldn't be too difficult to deal with Old Yu Shu for a while.

Tai Chi was something Wang Sheng thought of when he was practicing the Primal Chaos skill, inspired by the concept of Tai Chi. Anyone on Earth who seriously practiced Tai Chi would definitely stand in the Tai Chi Primal Chaos Stance, they were one and the same, how could Wang Sheng ignore it?

As soon as he came up with this concept, the fighting consciousness in the Yuan Soul space began a non-stop deduction process. Wang Sheng remembered many Tai Chi stances, and after imagining them one by one in his mind, the fighting consciousness gray figure began an excited deduction, which had been going on for two full months. Old Yu Shu's move was also giving the deduced Tai Chi a chance for practical combat.

Seeing Old Yu Shu move, Song Yan only weakly called out "Old Yu Shu," but didn't stop him. Wang Sheng could hear that the call of "Old Yu Shu" was just to tell Old Yu Shu to go easy on him, and she probably also had the intention of giving Wang Sheng a small lesson.

With the cooperation of the fighting consciousness, Wang Sheng's hand accurately pushed on Old Yu Shu's wrist, using force to squeeze, Old Yu Shu's wrist and arm were pushed to another direction, and naturally the fist that was hitting towards Wang Sheng directly deviated from the target, hitting empty air.

Old Yu Shu was shocked, what kind of routine was this? His fist was actually pushed to another direction? How was this possible? How much power did his fist have, even if he held back his strength, he still exerted force at the moment Wang Sheng pushed up, wanting to give Wang Sheng a hard blow, but he was so lightly pushed away by this kid?

While Old Yu Shu was surprised, Wang Sheng was also secretly calling out how powerful he was. Pushing Old Yu Shu's arm aside, it didn't seem like he used much force, but Wang Sheng knew how much force he had used himself. He almost used all his strength, and this was on the basis of practicing the Primal Chaos skill for more than two months. If it was still the Wang Sheng on Earth, he would have been bounced back several steps by Old Yu Shu's fist force.

However, this allowed Wang Sheng to seize the initiative, and his whole body quickly approached Old Yu Shu's body. At such a close distance, an expert like Old Yu Shu who was used to big, open moves had no way to exert force and use his skills in such a short distance, and he was immediately flustered.

But Wang Sheng didn't have this concern. On Earth, he had heard of, seen, and even practiced too many boxing styles. Internal, external, domestic, foreign, this sect, that path, Tai Chi, Bajiquan, countless.

For this kind of close-range attack, with not much distance to exert force, what could be more suitable than Tai Chi plus Wing Chun plus Jeet Kune Do's half-step collapsing fist?

Anyway, Wang Sheng had a lot of things in his head, and he also had enough combat experience, plus the fighting consciousness's powerful deduction and help, as long as he used it, even if it didn't have the true essence of those Earth boxing styles, it would at least have eighty to ninety percent of the power to deal with a guy who had never seen these routines.

This eighty to ninety percent of the power was enough to deal with Old Yu Shu, who used big, open moves. So, a wonderful action scene was staged with Song Yan's tacit approval, in the confrontation between Wang Sheng and Old Yu Shu.

Song Yan, who had been expecting to see Old Yu Shu teach Wang Sheng a good lesson, to let Wang Sheng know the immensity of heaven and earth, and then have a good talk with Wang Sheng about the conditions to get Wang Sheng's method of making refined salt, suddenly saw a scene that was completely different from her expectations, but equally wonderful.

However, the result of this scene was completely different from Song Yan's expectations, so much so that Song Yan only watched half of it before she stood up in horror and shouted, "Stop! Stop! Stop! Don't fight! Don't fight!"
