Romance of Dragons and Snakes Chapter 149

Wang Chao’s first line of thought had been on how to defend himself against gunfire. He had reached a realm of transformation with his martial arts and could avoid the majority of damage from any expert with his young and robust physique. His only threat now were guns.

Today he had fought with many experts and military instructors that were the leaders of their schools, but they were beneath Duan Guochao in skill. Chen Tianlei for example, had a profound level of martial arts, but in a fight, he would most certainly lose to Duan Guochao.

So Wang Chao’s consecutive victory over them had not been an overly difficult task. If they were to swarm him all at once however, whether it was eight against one, three against one, or four against one, then Wang Chao would stand no chance.

A round robin battle was a round robin battle.

A group brawl was a group brawl.

If guns were involved, then it wouldn’t end well. All it would take was two guns to dispose of him. In the hands of a martial artist, guns were far too terrifying.

Duan Guochao didn’t use a gun on that day. If he had, then perhaps the one that died would have been Wang Chao. But in the Hong Kong military, Duan Guochao had been screwed either way if he did use a gun.

Slowly exhaling, Wang Chao began to sense his internal organs, blood vessels, veins, muscles, ligaments, joints, bones, skin and pres. Each part of his body, be it internal or external, Wang Chao could see it clearly with ease.

To be able to see through one’s body with ease was the true meaning of both cultivation and fighting.

If one honed his own body and was not familiar with it, no matter how strong the person was, would they be able to fight anyone?

Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!

Suddenly, the ringtone of his phone could be heard from his bed.

Pausing in his movements, Wang Chao picked up the phone with an overjoyed heart.

A mans voice could be heard from the other end, “Kid, you’ve really kicked up a tornado this time. I’ve heard that two days ago you fought several military instructors from Beijing to the point where they couldn’t even breathe. And did you really break Ma Huajun’s arm? Also, did Yin Manchuan really get knocked out by you? One against eight, what a display. I know I underestimated you before, but I didn’t think that you would exceed my estimations by so much.”

“Ah, so it’s chief Cao. You heard what happened to me already, how fast is that!” Wang Chao had known right away that it was Cao Yi, but then there had been something strange in his words. “Two days ago? My fight with them was only earlier this morning though?”

It was then that Wang Chao realized something and rapidly looked down at the date on his phone. Sure enough, two days had past.

“Did I really stay in this position for two days?” Wang Chao’s eyebrows knitted together for a moment before he came to an understanding. Throwing open the window shutters, Wang Chao could see the ray of sunlight coming through. It seemed that when he was taking up a stance to clearly familiarize himself with his internal organs and blood vessels, he had indeed spent two nights and a day to do so.

From the night before yesterday to this afternoon. That was 40 hours–just how quickly time had gone by.

“Let me tell you, you are mighty beyond mighty, but this time you’ve made enemies with many people. You’ll need to watch your back from now on. Don’t make any mistakes. Ai, you’ve really riled up too many people. It’ll be hard to avoid being tripped in the future.”

Cao Yi’s voice continued to speak.

Wang Chao had already known that he had antagonized many military instructors. Although they were not all filled with absolute power and authority like being a high-ranking officer, they still had a wide web of personal connections.

“I had no other choice. It was them that came to me for trouble. When things come to a head, it is hard to avoid it.” Wang Chao laughed bitterly.

“That much is true. I called you today mainly to talk about your personal and public matters. Let’s talk about the public affairs first.”

Cao Yi’s tone grew serious with just a small bit of a joy to be heard, “The Hong Kong military were able to successfully interrogate that female American spy you captured and found a windfall of important information! With this information in our hands, we were able to shatter several information networks and capture even more spies.”

“You’ve pried open the mouth of Lisa?” Wang Chao nodded his head. She had lost all of her confidence in front of Wang Chao, so having all the information inside her head spilled out was only a matter of time.

“Correct, the spy that you captured. And that other one you killed, both have brought you great merits that have been rare to see even since the establishment of our nation.” Cao Yi spoke excitedly.

“The higher ups have noted your stellar work. You will stay there in Beijing for now, do not leave. Take the records you got and drop them off at the Central Party School. From there, study by yourself for two months. Ah, the higher ups have decided to confer onto you the title of Major General. That is to say, from today onwards, you are a major general, a rank higher than mine own. The title will officially go through during your study period.”

“Oh, is that right?” Wang Chao wasn’t shocked. “That was the public matter, what about the personal one?”

“Ah, that is Jingjing. She’s currently a third year on the verge of graduating at Beijing University. She’s learning some Taekwondo right now, maybe she’ll be able to attend the Olympics and get a gold medal. When you’re dropping off your records, go give her some pointers. You’re friends from high school after all.” Cao Yi said.
