Tang Zheng spent the whole morning setting up the second package of traps he bought in his courtyard.

Especially on the roof and the back windows, which were unusual positions, he placed numerous traps.

After everything was done, Tang Zheng looked at his courtyard with satisfaction: "Not bad! It's enough for a game of Plants vs. Zombies!"

He then checked the time; it was already noon.

Estimating that Meng Fenghua and Tang Xiaotang had gone to eat, he took two bottles of Purple Gold Flower Water and casually placed one on the table for each of them.

He had no idea how effective the Purple Gold Flower Water was for nurturing star meridians, but the scent alone made him decide to give up on trying it.

In the afternoon, after a nap, Tang Zheng carried a bag of snacks and toys and headed to the Tang Family Castle's training ground.

As expected...

The first thing he saw when he arrived at the training ground was Ah Zhi's figure!

A blood-red, adult-sized Blood Sea Corpse King star constellation rose behind a twelve-year-old child, making it incredibly eye-catching!

"Ha!" Ah Zhi's dual swords flew, engaging in a fierce battle with Meng Fenghua.

Meng Fenghua, at the peak of the first star, used the power of two stars. Although she was fighting a second-star martial artist, she showed no signs of weakness!

Heavy attacks came one after another, forcing Ah Zhi to retreat continuously.

A heavy sword has no edge, and great skill requires no artifice!

"How did you end up fighting Fenghua?" Tang Zheng asked, holding a skewer of candy haws as he watched.

"Teacher Tang?" A middle-level training ground instructor, covering his nose, happened to see Tang Zheng.

"What happened to you?" Tang Zheng was taken aback.

"Skill is inferior, skill is inferior..." The instructor smiled and pointed at Ah Zhi, "I didn't expect that at such a young age, his star power would be so thick and smooth, and his combat experience so rich. I was careless and lost."

"..." Tang Zheng looked around.

It seemed that more than one or two instructors had been defeated by Ah Zhi in the training ground.

Tang Zheng frowned, "Is he here to challenge the place?"

It was indeed embarrassing for all the instructors of the Tang Family Castle to be defeated by a twelve-year-old child. When Tang Zheng said this, they looked even more awkward: "Teacher, this child is indeed a genius."

"Does being a genius mean he can act recklessly and disregard the dignity of his teachers?" Tang Zheng said sternly.

"..." The instructors blinked, "Indeed, scholars have a certain demeanor!"

"As teachers, we not only need to teach them to strengthen their bodies and improve their strength, but also to understand some basic principles of being a person..." Tang Zheng said.

One of the instructors also became serious, "Teacher is right! What should we do, Teacher?"

Tang Zheng, holding the bag, walked forward, "Dealing with... cough, educating children, there are only a few tricks. Feed them snacks, give them milk, take their toys, and steal their girlfriends!"

The instructors exchanged glances...

No wonder he was a scholar; it sounded so reasonable, and he spoke like he was reciting poetry.

But why didn't they understand at all?

...

Tang Zheng found a front-row spot to watch. As soon as he arrived, his eyes were drawn to Ah Zhi's footsteps.

It had to be said, Ah Zhi was really skilled. No wonder that day, in the trap after trap, the assassin was directly reformed, while Ah Zhi found an advantage!

Almost perfect footwork!

The star power flowing from Ah Zhi's feet was clearly a martial skill!

"Ban Yilou said that footwork martial skills are very rare..." Tang Zheng squinted and smiled. "It seems this child has a significant background."

Ah Zhi retreated step by step, but his steps were orderly.

The footwork, the defensive moves, and the hidden counterattacks constantly changed...

"Go, sister, go!" Little Lingdang, holding Ah Zhi's toy cat, cheered loudly for her sister.

Meng Fenghua attacked one after another, continuously controlling the initiative!

Ah Zhi, however, fought without any impatience. His calm and steady fighting style, completely different from his usual personality, made Meng Fenghua's continuous strong attacks ineffective.

Tang Zixie watched with wide eyes, "Fenghua is amazing, almost suppressing a second-star martial artist out of the training ground!"

"But, Ah Zhi is also doing well!" Tang Xiaotang said, "After all, it's Sister Fenghua!"

"Ah Zhi is a second-star after all!" Tang Zixie said.

The difference between a first-star and a second-star martial artist was like the difference between heaven and earth.

A first-star martial artist could only use martial skills, while a second-star martial artist's star constellation talent had awakened!

Tang Zixie looked and said, "However, Ah Zhi doesn't seem to be using his star constellation talent..."

Tang Xiaotang nodded.

Even without using the star constellation talent, the quality of a second-star's star power was far superior to that of a first-star.

Meng Fenghua, with a dual-star constellation, had her star power washed twice by the main star, so she could still match Ah Zhi. If it were Tang Xiaotang, also at the peak of the first star, she would be directly suppressed by the star power in one round of attack and defense!

Just as they were talking, Tang Zheng's voice suddenly came from the side, "Be careful!"

Tang Xiaotang turned around...

Before she could call out "Teacher," there was a light "ding" sound from the training ground!

At the same moment Ah Zhi stood at the edge of the training ground, he seized the gap between Meng Fenghua's two attacks. He used his left short sword to push against Meng Fenghua's heavy sword, and the thick second-star star power directly dispersed Meng Fenghua's dual-star power!

Meng Fenghua thought Ah Zhi was about to use a martial skill with his left short sword.

However, the star power in his left hand suddenly retracted, and his right short sword swung down, a flash of light appearing!

On the right!

The blood-red gale actually swirled around Meng Fenghua's heavy sword...

Instantly, the light shone brightly!

"Ah! Sister!" Little Lingdang immediately threw the toy cat and rushed into the field.

The blood-red light from the short sword touched Meng Fenghua's sleeve and then suddenly retracted!

Her sleeve wasn't even damaged a bit!

"Such fast star power flow!" Meng Fenghua stood still, motionless.

The others on the sidelines, including Tang Xiaotang, were stunned.

Yesterday, they thought that Ah Zhi advancing to the second star at twelve must have used some special method, and his foundation couldn't be very solid.

But now, it seemed that not only was his strength at the second star, but his control and training of star power were also incredibly solid!

Tang Xiaotang and the others could already use martial skills.

But few could control martial skills so freely!

"Hey, brat, with my star power control... I won't hurt her if I don't want to," Ah Zhi said to Meng Fengling.

"Sniff, sister..." Meng Fengling ignored him and directly hugged Meng Fenghua.

"Hey! Are you listening to me?" Ah Zhi said.

"Sniff." Meng Fengling clearly didn't hear and kept rubbing against Meng Fenghua.

"Brat, if you keep this up, I won't let you play with my cat!" Ah Zhi pouted.

Meng Fengling finally turned around.

She looked at the toy cat Ah Zhi had lent her, which she had thrown on the ground, and then at Ah Zhi.

She wanted the toy, but she didn't like him because he almost hurt her sister...

Just as she was hesitating, a strange uncle's voice came from behind her: "Little Lingdang, be good, we don't need Ah... no, Ah Zhi's cat..."

Little Lingdang turned around and saw what Tang Zheng was holding!

It was a stuffed dog bigger than her!

It was the one Tang Zheng had first noticed on the shelf at the Treasure Pavilion.

It was several times larger than Ah Zhi's cat and much more exquisite and beautiful.

Little Lingdang's eyes sparkled, and she didn't even look at Ah Zhi's toy cat again.

Tang Zheng let Little Lingdang hug the dog and then took out two sugar figurines from the bag, "Do you want to eat?"

"Thank you!" Meng Fengling immediately stopped crying and smiled.

The other children in the primary training ground also gathered around Tang Zheng, "Teacher, I want one too, I want one too!"

"Everyone will get one." Tang Zheng distributed toys and snacks to each of them...

There was one last piece of sesame cake left, and he offered it to Ah Zhi, "Do you want one too?"

Ah Zhi's face turned black, and he was about to reach out to take it...

Tang Zheng took a bite and stuffed the sesame cake into his own mouth.

"Ah Zhi, Ah Zhi," Little Lingdang, seeing her sister was fine, ran over and returned Ah Zhi's toy cat, "Haven't you called Teacher Tang yet?"

"Teacher? Him?" Ah Zhi first heard Meng Fengling call Tang Zheng "Teacher," and now she said it again, realizing an unpleasant possibility.

"Yes, he is our Teacher Tang!" Tang Xiaotang walked over, bent down, and smiled.

"Him? He is... the teacher you talked about yesterday?"

"That's me. Is there a problem?" Tang Zheng smiled at him.

"This must be a mistake!" Ah Zhi suddenly felt that the whole world was not right.
