Chapter 1556: Chapter 1556

"Big brother, four isn’t enough?"

Meng Xianjun looked at Tang Ming speechlessly, "How many eight-star martial masters can you gather?"

"I can gather four too."

Tang Ming grinned strangely, "No, make that five."

"That makes more sense. I was wondering why you were so calm; turns out you were prepared."

Hua Yingjie breathed a sigh of relief.

"I’ve never heard you knew any eight-star martial masters, plus we can’t bring outsiders to the school duel. Are there really that many eight-star martial masters in the school?"

Meng Xianjun stared at Tang Ming in confusion.

"Haha, I was talking about you guys, the three of you, plus me and Chen Cang. Isn’t that five people?"

Tang Ming chuckled mischievously.

"What the hell, you’re counting us as battle strength?"

Shao Wuyou looked at Tang Ming, dumbfounded.

"This joke isn’t funny at all."

Hua Yingjie’s face turned pale, "In front of eight-star martial masters, we’re nothing but scraps. What were you thinking?"

"It’s only meeting them, not necessarily fighting. If I can handle Yang Jin and the big dragon lady, I can certainly handle the other two vice alliance hierarchs."

Tang Ming cleaned his ears, his tone full of confidence, "Actually, I have a secret technique, a world-beating technique."

The several stared at Tang Ming in confusion.

"Yes! Big Mouth Escape Technique, even if the enemy has a thousand troops, they can’t stop it."

Tang Ming sat up, shouting with grandeur.

"Big brother, at a time , you still have the mind to joke."

Upon hearing this, Shao Wuyou fell speechless.

"This is no joke! You guys think about Naruto in The Matrix; in the early, middle, and even late stages, always getting beaten badly, relying on the Art of Mouth Escape to settle various strong enemies, right?"

Tang Ming looked seriously at Shao Wuyou and the others.

"Damn! But Naruto later mastered Immortal Technique too."

Shao Wuyou glared at Tang Ming, annoyed.

"I’ll be awesome in the late stages too; just currently not so awesome. Let’s wing it for now."

Tang Ming shrugged helplessly.

"You are so hard to figure out."

Meng Xianjun sighed helplessly, "But we know you’d definitely agree to meet them, so we’ve been ready to go with you."

"You’re really coming with me?"

Tang Ming grew curious.

"Brothers through thick and thin, sharing fortune and misfortune."

The three shouted in unison.

"Haha, I’ve prepared special gear."

Shao Wuyou chuckled mischievously, quickly retrieving a pile of black clothes and sunglasses.

Tang Ming got up and walked over.

"Have you seen Men in Black? Since we’re going to the duel, even if we’re not very capable, we must amp up our aura."

Shao Wuyou smiled proudly, "Come try, one set each, custom-made to your sizes."

"Big brother, you’re really mischievous."

Meng Xianjun rolled eyes at Shao Wuyou, immediately starting to pick clothes and sunglasses, "But I love your mischievousness; this outfit can scare people to death."

Tang Ming shook his head helplessly, but seeing these guys were going into battle with him, his heart felt warm.

The next morning, Tang Ming and the three walked side by side wearing black shoes, black suits with white shirts, and big sunglasses along the school path, turning heads a hundred percent.

Tang Ming and company walked with chests out, heads high, taking wide strides, using the synchronized marching learned during military training.

"See? This outfit I got is absolutely super cool."

Shao Wuyou giggled triumphantly, "Even if I get beaten to death this time, I’ll definitely leave a legend at school."

"Your big brother is from the Dragon Group, no one’s daring to beat you to death."

Hua Yingjie rolled eyes at Shao Wuyou, "I’m worried it’ll be me who gets beaten to death."

"Don’t worry, there won’t be any trouble."

Tang Ming smiled confidently, "I’ve dealt with the big dragon lady and Yang Jin, the other two vice alliance hierarchs Chen Cang can handle alone."

"I thought the same; since Chen Cang managed to defeat Yang Jin and the big dragon lady’s combined efforts, he can certainly handle the other two, or else I wouldn’t come risking myself."

Meng Xianjun laughed.

"You already planned this all along?"

Tang Ming sighed in annoyance, commenting lightly, "That’s pretty much the plan, I’ll use the Art of Mouth Escape to stall Yang Jin and the big dragon lady, while Chen Cang deals with the others; but if Han Shan and others make a move, then it’s an uphill battle."

"We’re really gonna fight, huh."

Hua Yingjie felt awkward immediately, having the lowest cultivation level, getting into a fight would definitely make him cannon fodder.

"Whether it turns into a fight depends on the power of my Art of Mouth Escape."

Tang Ming chuckled lightly, meanwhile pondering to hide his power when the time came, allowing Meng Xianjun to burst out in surprise with his capabilities.

Chen Cang sat crouched by the school’s side gate in casual neutral clothing, munching on bread and sipping soybean milk.

Soon a group of students were seen squealing and pointing off into the distance; puzzled, Chen Cang looked up, eyes wide in disbelief.

Chen Cang squeezed the soybean milk in his hand, gawking at Tang Ming’s gang.

"Chen Cang, let’s go, we’re heading out."

Tang Ming gestured to Chen Cang.

"Hey, you guys coordinated your outfits, why didn’t you tell me?"

Chen Cang tossed aside what he was holding, jumped up, protesting in dissatisfaction, "Look, I’m wearing something so alternative, doesn’t match the style!"

"We didn’t know your size."

Shao Wuyou shrugged helplessly.

"I could’ve told you!"

Chen Cang stared enviously at Tang Ming and the others, "This is tough to handle emotionally!"

"Little Cangcang, don’t complain; after all, you’re the only woman among us, not suitable for this attire."

Tang Ming chuckled, comforting.

"Annoying, but Ming brother really thinks things through."

Chen Cang immediately imitated Japanese manga style, gave a flirtatious look to Tang Ming.

"Thank goodness for the sunglasses, what an eyesore!"

Shao Wuyou and others shouted instantly.

"Come on, Chen Cang leads the way; we’re your four black-clothed henchmen, absolutely impressive!"

Tang Ming couldn’t handle Chen Cang’s antics any longer, promptly getting her to lead.

"Sure thing, such style!"

Chen Cang sashayed ahead, pointing at passersby and causing a scene, "What are you looking at? Never seen a big sister out on a stroll?! I’ll beat you up!"

Tang Ming and others stood speechless, following behind Chen Cang towards the direction of Academy Park.

By the fountain at Academy Park, Yang Jin, the big dragon lady, Han Shan, and two youths sat cross-legged together, while the Liu brothers, pale faced, stood next to them with crutches.
