If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

It’s just for the sake of vinegar that I make this plate of dumplings.

When Inuyama He sat opposite Lin Nian, Lu Mingfei and the other two people watching the battle suddenly felt this way.

After understanding Inuyama Ga's words, they certainly had a premonition that the two would meet sooner or later, but they didn't expect it to be so soon, and in such a novel way.

They didn't know much about the origins of Lin Nian and Inuyama Ga. When Lin Nian came to Japan for the first time on Anger's behalf, Inuyama Ga was sent a letter across the ocean by Anger to tell him to take good care of and guide this spirit and him. In the letter, Angers, a junior who has the same roots, praised his student's talent and hoped that Inuyama Ga, as his former student, could help his juniors.

When the naive Inuyama Ga received the letter, he really thought for a moment that Angers sent this student to Japan because he really wanted to train him well. And Ange really recognized that Inuyama Ga was indeed the other party's favorite student, so he was relieved to hand over this outstanding student to his hands thousands of miles away.

But when the child named Lin Nian stepped off the plane and looked at him from the gangway through the sunshine in front of the people picking him up, he suddenly realized one thing, that is, his feelings for the tree The old man in the office still had too much expectation of goodwill in return.

This sharp-edged child was sent by him to teach him. It was clear that Angers was going to use him as food to cultivate a more ferocious monster.

In the eyes of that old man, maybe I have never satisfied my teacher. Maybe in the eyes of that strict teacher, my only value may be that one day in the future, when the other party has a new and better teacher. When I was a student, I suddenly looked back and remembered that there seemed to be such a suitable stepping stone in a country as far away as Japan, so I called for you to use it as you like!

Sitting opposite Inuyama He, Lin Nian could feel the silent burning fire on the old man's body, but this did not make him feel too ill, because the hostility and warmth were not directed at him. It was more like he was using him to retaliate to someone or something, to express some long-standing thoughts that were as hot and churning as a volcano.

Different from the casualness when playing games with Lu Mingfei, this time, facing Lin Nian, Inuyama Ga took the initiative to lift up the sleeves of his kimono and exposed his arms. On the muscles, he and Lu Mingfei had successfully warmed up before, and the skin was lingering with a faint heat rising slightly under the light.

Although it is just a game, it is not a joke.

Inuyama Ga's current behavior shows this attitude.

Inuyama He looked at Lin Nian and said calmly, "Seeing you now, I can never forget the first time I met you. You were so outstanding at that time, far beyond my expectations. At that time, he was the principal of Yuanyang The letter came to ask me to take good care of you and teach you as a senior, but I have never been in the best state to guide you. This is indeed my fault. If you give me another chance today, I will. I won’t let it go.”

It wasn't until Inuyama Ga's words came out that Lin Nian understood that this old man was not what he thought. He was obsessed with being disgraced by him when he first came to Japan. He had improved his skills, or in other words, recovered his reputation. The stingy person who once had some touch and strength immediately wanted to seek revenge on him non-stop.

I am afraid that I have become another person and a connection point for another unknown and deeper hatred and past.

And this person is probably Hilbert Jean Angers, Inuyama Ga's former teacher.

He now probably understands that Inuyama Ga now most likely regards himself as a substitute for the oppressor in the past. It seems that defeating him will allow some thoughts to be understood and part of the humiliation of the past to be released.

Lin Nian didn't know much about the details of Angers and Inuyama He's past feud, and he didn't really want to dig up those old stories that had been buried in the sand by the years.

He only felt that this behavior was quite childish, and he also felt that the old man was really full of vitality.

In the eyes of others, the scars and past that can pass with the passage of time are always carried by this old man with resentment. Even though he is old, he can inject them into the beauty of his body at the right time. The pattern burned.

The new soju was brought up and placed on both sides of Lin Nian and Inuyama He. The girls sat upright, as if they could feel the solemnity of their master.

"Master Inuyama, I want to make something clear before the game starts."

After thinking about it, Lin Nian spoke before the game started. He looked at the old man in front of him and explained calmly, "If you think that defeating me will resolve the grudges between you and others, I advise you to give up. The idea of ​​seeing the game as just a game.”

"This is indeed just a game. Lin Jun doesn't need to think too much." Inuyama Ga said calmly.

"No, you misunderstood what I meant." Lin Nian looked into the old man's eyes and said, "I just don't want to hurt you."

"People will not remain unchanged. No matter how you think, how you judge and compare, I am probably better than the person in your mind now." He said, "So it is obviously unwise to regard me as a proof that you can reverse the past after defeat. The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. I just want to point this out in advance to prevent the head of the Inuyama family from having wrong self-doubts because of some wins and losses. After all, you are still one of the important fighting forces of the Eight Snake Families. It is not appropriate to have any physical or psychological conditions now."

Lin Nian said these words steadily. Inuyama He didn't react. His companions sitting behind him couldn't help but turn their heads slightly to look at each other, grinning slightly, and the same meaning was revealed in each other's eyes: too much.

Even though the tone and meaning of these words are full of steady reasoning, reading the whole article, every word is full of arrogance - Lin Nian's arrogance.

Chu Zihang, Caesar and Lu Mingfei are all victims of this kind of arrogance, but the most fucking fucking thing is that every time such arrogant remarks are made, you want to smash the face of the guy who said it with all your heart, and in the end you can only despairingly find out that what this guy said is true.

But Inuyama He doesn't think so. He regards Lin Nian's words as a provocation and a confident declaration of war from the other party. After all, young people should be so arrogant, right? He also thinks that Lin Nian is qualified to be arrogant. The information that the "S"-level destiny dragon slayer of the headquarters has repeatedly killed the Dragon King has also been passed to the Sheqi Eight Clan. Although the authenticity of the news is questionable, at least no one doubts that Lin Nian is a super hybrid who has fought against the Dragon King head-on.

But Inuyama He, over the years, has not been a fool who has only retreated and not advanced. Since the fierce ghosts invaded, the chaos in the red light district has led to uncontrollable and vicious battlefields frequently appearing on the streets. As the head of the family, he has made incredible breakthroughs in various dangerous situations with his sword.

At the moment of the ninth level, he couldn't wait to sit down with the strict teacher from Yuanyang to have a chat again. Now it is a good choice to re-communicate with the most proud disciple of the strict teacher.

"Okay." Lin Nian saw Inuyama He's persistence and stopped persuading him.

"Before the game starts, we may need to change a prop." Inuyama He signaled to Shi Tsuko beside him to bring a metal oval ashtray upside down on the ground to replace the wooden tray that was already full of cracks. It seems that he doesn't want the accidental damage of the game props to cause any suspense in the next victory or defeat.

Lin Nian sat up a little straighter and nodded gently to indicate that he can start at any time.

Inuyama He raised his hand, and the shamisen on the second floor was plucked again. The cheerful folk song was sung softly by the girls sitting next to the wine table, "Kinpilafunefune ~ Chasing the Wind"

The two began to take turns, and the rounds also increased little by little. This time the song accelerated very slowly, as if to help Lin Nian get more accustomed to the rhythm of the game, get into the state faster, and make their family head more enjoyable.

Lu Mingfei and others on the side were also full of confidence. As early as in their trial and error process, Lin Nian, who was watching from behind, should have figured out this game long ago:

By adjusting the angle when the arm is extended so that the tray can be covered, the time for the other party to judge whether the tray has been taken away will be longer, and the time to react to change the gesture will also be shorter.

Pick up the tray with the same frequency for a long time until the other party is paralyzed and develops inertia, and then suddenly change the number of times to make the other party make a mistake.

The fingers holding the tray loosened at the last moment, creating the illusion of picking up the tray, causing the other party to make a wrong judgment at high speed.

When all the skills were familiar to him and the results of trial and error were in front of him, this game had actually lost its suspense for Lin Nian.

The rounds of the game gradually came to 500 rounds, and the sound of wind, dull whistling, and the loud sound of metal trays hitting the ground, all kinds of movements that should not belong to the "enjoyment game" gradually appeared.

The others sitting next to Lin Nian and Inuyama He squinted their eyes and leaned back involuntarily.

This is a natural reaction of the human body, just like the wheel hub constantly increasing its speed under the action of the motor. From the beginning, you can stand by and admire the wonders of industry, but until the speed increases and the whistling becomes sharper, you will feel a sense of uneasiness, until this uneasiness exceeds fear.

This fear is like engraved in instinct, because any educated person knows one thing - everything in this world has a limit, there is no way to speed up endlessly, when reaching that limit, people who are close to it will inevitably hurt themselves.

The rounds quickly reached 1000 times, and the speed was still climbing up. The sound of the metal tray hitting the ground was like a machine gun firing.

The rounds continued to rise, 2000, 3000, Lin Nian still looked very calm, and even his golden eyes were not ignited. The molten pupils under the black beauty lenses calmly looked at the silver tray that almost appeared to be overlapping. From the perspective of normal people, the silver tray seemed to have never left the ground.

At first, Caesar and others were still trying to count the rounds, but when the rounds reached 5,000, they gave up the move because the speed of the two sides' attacks was still increasing. The two arms stretched out and came back and forth as fast as the needles and shuttles of a loom. It is estimated that anyone who dares to intervene now will be crushed to pieces in an instant.

When the number reached 10,000, the people around found that a strange scene appeared between Lin Nian and Inuyama He, that is, they could no longer see the movements of the two people. The two arms seemed to have disappeared, but the sound of metal hitting the ground in a dense series indicated that the game was still going on.

"Can you see it clearly?"

Caesar asked Chu Zihang in a low voice with a serious face. The latter shook his head gently. As early as 3,000 rounds, he could not see the attacks of both sides. In terms of the speed of the attacks alone, it is estimated that no one present is qualified to understand this game.

No, there is one person who can see it clearly.

Lu Mingfei lit up his golden pupils and stared at the metal tray between Lin Nian and Inuyama He that was being moved at high speed. His shrunken pupils projected all the details onto his retina.

He successfully constructed Inuyama He's panel and opened the field of Moment to watch the battle, taking in every move of the two.

Now it was meaningless to calculate the number of moves, so Lu Mingfei could only speculate what the situation of the game was based on the strength of the field released by Inuyama He.

After constructing Moment, with the same nature of the field, he could feel that the field filled in Inuyama He's body should have climbed to the seventh level when he sat nearby. No, the strength of the field rose to another level.

Inuyama He's Moment climbed up again to the eighth level, and the speed doubled. This is how the Word Spirit is. Every step it climbs is a qualitative change!

At the moment when Inuyama He's Moment entered the eighth level, Lu Mingfei also saw pale dragon scales appear on Lin Nian's right arm, which was proof of entering the second blood burst.

After the second blood burst, Lin Nian not only kept up with Inuyama He's speed, but also began to speed up on his own initiative, as if he was putting pressure on Inuyama He in turn!

Shi Jinzi, who was a little closer to the side, was covered in cold sweat and could not help but retreat a little distance. She had no doubt that if she got too close and was accidentally hit by anyone on both sides, she would probably turn into a rag doll and fly out instantly. If she was hit in the head, blood would be spilled on the spot.

It's coming!

Lu Mingfei, who was watching the game, seemed to have a premonition of something, frowned and suddenly tilted his head back.

The next second after he made this move, there was a burst in the air, and a white cold air wave was stirred between Lin Nian and Inuyama He. The girls on the side screamed and subconsciously covered their ears to protect their torn eardrums!

Ninth-level moment

Inuyama's golden pupils were gleaming, and his exposed skin showed a different blood color, which was the image of the hot and boiling dragon blood. At the moment of the ninth level, he gained 512 times the speed! In the bloody fight with the fierce ghosts, when he stepped onto this ladder, he undoubtedly became one of the high-end combat forces of the Eight Snakes! Even Mr. Masamune would give him more respect!

The metal tray was accelerated to light up abnormally red, which was the abnormal temperature rise caused by countless frictions with the ground in a short period of time. The temperature of the surface was so hot that it could ignite paper, but the two people holding it had no opinion on it.

Is this really just a game?

Chu Zihang and Caesar both felt great pressure, not only from Lin Nian, but also from the old man who was like a dragon and a tiger.

Maybe it was an illusion, they actually saw the shadow of Hilbert Jean Ange in each other.

The shadows of Inuyama He and Ange suddenly overlapped in their eyes, as if the two old men were burning in their hearts. At an age when they should lie in bed with oxygen tubes or have difficulty in moving, the moment or time zero became the powerful medicine that made these two old men as angry as young people, making them not only their bodies but also their hearts full of heat.

Lu Mingfei moved his eyes away from Inuyama He and looked at Lin Nian, wanting to see how many levels his moment had climbed. As a user of the moment, he knew clearly that the different basic speeds of each person had a great impact on the actual performance of the word spirit. For example, he boasted that his copy of the moment would reach the limit, but it was probably not as fast as Lin Nian's casual climb to the third or fourth level.

But just when Lu Mingfei focused on feeling the domain in Lin Nian's body, his face suddenly became obviously stiff.

——He found that Lin Nian didn't even open the word spirit, and there was no domain fluctuation on this guy!

Lin Nian was actually competing with the ninth-level moment in speed in his normal state? !

When he learned the truth, Lu Mingfei's eyes almost popped out, and he turned his head to look at the people around him, but it seemed that they didn't realize this fact - indeed, in terms of the perception of power and domain, Lu Mingfei was unique, and only he could use the lunar eclipse to so precisely sense the details of the hybrid's domain use.

He was the only one who knew this incredible thing, and he really wanted to scream on the spot, but he was afraid that it would affect Lin Nian's performance, so he could only hold it back and keep it in his heart.

But soon, he observed further and found that things didn't seem to be outrageous, because Lin Nian still made some countermeasures against the ninth-level moment.

He smelled the suppressed and violent aura on Lin Nian, which was the characteristic of the third degree of blood burst, the release of the heart of the Dragon King.

In the game, the three-degree blood burst Lin Nian's molten pupils drooped and stared at the arms intertwined between the light and shadow. The so-called ninth-order speed was clearly visible in the molten fire eyes.

What made Lu Mingfei's expression even more tangled was that this should have been a murderous aura bursting out like a prehistoric beast, but it was suppressed by Lin Nian to an exaggerated degree that he, who was sitting nearby, could not detect it without careful feeling!

This is a proof that the bloodline refining technology is driven by the arm. The three-degree blood burst, a killer move that Lu Mingfei regarded as a trump card, has been completely mastered by this guy.

I am afraid that the reason why Lin Nian suppressed the three-degree blood burst was just because he was worried that the suppression of bloodline would make Inuyama He Yanling perform abnormally, so he deliberately controlled the killing heart.

Lu Mingfei has lost the words to evaluate Lin Nian's operation. There is no second word except outrageous.

What's more interesting is that Lin Nian always praises Lu Mingfei, saying that he is the one who is born to be suitable for the blood bursting technique.

But in the end, it is still Lin Nian who really mastered it the fastest and walked in the front.

Lu Mingfei felt a little dizzy and pressed his eyebrows.

So now Lin Nian is completely relying on the physical fitness and nerve reaction of the third degree of blood burst to suppress Inuyama He's ninth-level moment (in the original Hongjing decisive battle, the deep bloodline refinement level of Yuan Zhinv and Yuan Zhisheng reached the level of pure physical function equal to Inuyama He's ninth-level moment)? See.

Lu Mingfei expected that Lin Nian's current physical basic quality was outrageous, but he never thought it would be so outrageous.

Inuyama He has reached the limit. He can feel that the domain of this old man is like a spring that has been compressed to the bottom, and all the violent potential energy reverberates in the tense flesh and bones under the kimono.

At the same time, Lu Mingfei could also be sure that the ninth-order instant was the limit of this old man. The legendary tenth-order instant realm, which was also jokingly called the "God's Realm" by the instant users, was impossible for him to climb up.

But this did not prevent Lin Nian from naturally squeezing the limit of Inuyama He.

This was not a provocation or mockery of Inuyama He's self-importance, but Lin Nian was really supporting and guiding Inuyama He's attainments in instant with the attitude of a "senior".

After all, there were few people in this world who could raise their right hands to encourage the other party to tiptoe as much as possible to challenge the limit, just like an adult helping a child to reach height. Only Lin Nian could do this, and Lin Nian was not worried that if Inuyama He really broke through that impossible barrier, it would bring him any trouble.

Lu Mingfei pinched his nose and didn't want to look at it anymore. The more he looked, the more he felt that Lin Nian was simply an outrageous combination.

When Inuyama He proposed this game, Lin Nian probably knew that this old man was coming for him. But there was a reason between the two that Lu Mingfei didn't know, which made Lin Nian understand but he was still willing to accompany the old man to finish the game and let the other party find a satisfactory answer.

Lu Mingfei withdrew from the moment and lifted the lunar eclipse. It was hard for him to imagine what his expression would be if he was Inuyama He, and he looked up and found that the other party was also a user of the Speed ​​​​Word Spirit, and even the domain was not opened until the end.

Less than a few seconds after Lu Mingfei ended the moment, another domain was lifted, that was Inuyama He's domain.

The ninth-level moment was lifted. Of course, even if he stood on this peak, it did not mean that he could withstand the severe cold at the top for a long time. The huge metabolism brought by the ninth-level moment was not something that the withered old man's body could withstand for a long time.

Inuyama He's speed gradually slowed down, and Lin Nian's speed also slowed down, until the rhythm was slow enough that the folk song could be sung again and the shamisen could keep up with the beat again.

The hot red metal tray was placed in place. Inuyama He slowly withdrew his hand. His palm was red, which was the mark of burns caused by the high temperature tray.

Until the end, the two of them seemed to have no winner, but in fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see who won.

Lin Nian withdrew his hand. At this moment, there was no trace of blood burst on his body. The three-degree blood burst switch had reached the level of ease. I am afraid that no one except Lu Mingfei noticed that he had just entered a deep dragon state.

Withdrawing his hand, Inuyama He placed his palms flat on his legs and sat with his head bowed.

The club was extremely quiet. Inuyama He did not speak, so no one made any noise.

Until the old man gently raised his head, looked at Lin Nian and whispered in confusion:

"Is the so-called talent and talent really that different?"

"I am just an example." Lin Nian said calmly, "You have done a great job. If Principal Ange can see your achievements, he will definitely not be stingy with praise."

Inuyama He said nothing, and after a moment of silence, he leaned forward slightly. When he made this move, his daughters beside him realized that their patriarch had lost the game, and ended it with a gesture of active surrender.

The game just now was not only seen clearly by Lu Mingfei, but perhaps he, who was in the game duel, truly understood how high Lin Nian's position was compared to ordinary hybrids.

From the beginning, when he turned on the moment to speed up, he found that Lin Nian had no domain aura, and he knew that he had lost. The reason he did not stop the game was just that he wanted to see how far Lin Nian could go, but until the end, he found that he was not even qualified to see Lin Nian's "bottom line".

"But I still want to know how big the gap is." The old man raised his head and whispered to the young monster who really reached a level that he could not compare, guess, or speak. This is also the desire to know as a user of Setsuna for the strong in the same field who is truly incomprehensible.

As a junior who Inuyama He once guided and cared for, Lin Nian certainly did not hesitate to give the old man an answer.

"Let's do it again." Lin Nian looked at Inuyama He and nodded.

"Okay, let's do it again." Inuyama He also nodded.

Inuyama He stretched out his right hand to cover the metal tray that was still warm and started a new round of the game.

"Damn it," Lu Mingfei behind Lin Nian suddenly said in a daze.

Inuyama He was stunned.

Not only him, but everyone else was stunned.

Countless pairs of eyes looked at Inuyama He's clenched right hand, quietly placed on the metal tray.

According to the rules, this means that the old man lost this new round of the game at the speed of light.

"Do you understand?" Lin Nian, who was motionless, looked up at the old man and asked softly.

Inuyama He put away his hand and replied, "I understand."

It seemed that everyone present had missed one thing, that is, Lin Nian did not need any trial and error, or the experience of predecessors to improve his winning rate.

For the young man sitting in front of Inuyama He, the key to winning the game of Kinpilasuna is never how many steps he can climb in a moment, how fast he can make a move, or how high his reaction speed can be.

If Lin Nian wants to win, there is a simpler way, a nearly rough way - when the opponent is slapping or punching, when the opponent is not aware of it, change the shape of the palm that is put down to the wrong one.

No one will accuse him of cheating, because as long as he doesn't want to, no one can discover this fact, even the victim.

Inuyama He's outstretched palm was changed into a fist and fell on the metal tray. It was not until Lu Mingfei sighed that he discovered this fact.

After parting one day, and meeting again now, the distance between them is already a world of difference.

ps: As the holder of the ninth level instant, it is not completely useless for Inuyama He to be sent to monitor Caesar's team. Even though Lin Nian can disappear quietly, Caesar, Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang cannot. Their actions will inevitably be discovered by Inuyama He, even if they are in the blessing of time zero.
