Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 778 Junior Colleges and Universities

"Ah this..."

Cold sweat trickled down Zhang Chulan's neck.

"There are places that specialize in researching murder? That's outrageous! Can't the company control that?"

"A company? What's a company compared to them..."

"Alright," Xu San interrupted his younger brother, "Fourth brother, stop scaring Chu Lan. Chu Lan, don't listen to your fourth brother's nonsense. The Tang Clan's killing spree is ancient history. They're just a vocational school now. Not only do they focus on education, they're also involved in real estate. Do you know how much school district housing costs per square meter in Sichuan?!"

"Tang Sect... By the way, those techniques in our company that can be openly learned with money or points, such as those for enhancing human potential, poison preparation techniques, and some equipment, I heard they all come from publicly available technologies from the Tang Sect, right?" Zhang Chulan recalled the information he had read.

Xu San nodded and said, "That's right. The reason why the Tang Clan is so great is because of this. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, they participated in the war and killed many Japanese ninjas; in peacetime, they also dedicated their unique skills and openly trained talents."

Formerly known as the Tang Clan, it's now called the Tang Clan Martial Arts Higher Vocational School. This is a significant achievement; it's a school specifically commended by higher authorities, with a very solid foundation. They specialize in researching combat techniques and tactics, and are highly renowned within the martial arts community.

"It's just a martial arts school," Zhang Chulan replied casually.

"It's not that simple." Xu San shook his head, objecting to his statement. "A martial arts school is a place that only teaches martial arts techniques and fighting methods, similar to the Yan Martial Arts Hall back then. The Tang Clan is different. Its curriculum includes martial arts routines, combat mentality, terrain study, infiltration, weakening the enemy, Qi cultivation research, and so on."

The research focuses on the overall combat situation. Of course, under the leadership of the Tang Sect, many other sects are now gradually establishing and adding their own courses in this area; otherwise, they might as well just admit defeat when facing a Tang Sect disciple. However, it can still be said that the Tang Sect's efforts have boosted the overall strength of our Zhong's circle of extraordinary individuals.

"So that means their advantage isn't as obvious anymore?" Zhang Chulan, true to his reputation as a student from a top-tier university, keenly grasped the key point. "How about Bao'er and I ambush him together? That should be fine, right?"

"Hmph, you're dreaming." Xu Si sneered from the side.
"Do you know what the status of an ancestor means? Although not all ancestors are the strongest, such as our Zhong family's football, the Tang Clan, as the ancestor of research on tactics and techniques, is definitely the top in the industry. Because they developed early, they have the most complete and cutting-edge theoretical system and practical combat examples."

Furthermore, their combat techniques and theoretical ideas were proposed and practiced by a very terrifying figure back then. Based on this alone, even if other sects learned them from the Tang Sect and tried to imitate them, they could only barely make a partial imitation.

Most importantly, Tang Wenlong is a young talent sent by the Tang Clan to participate in the battle. Who knows if he has inherited the 'Dan Shi' technique? Even a tiny bit of that stuff is fatal. I can't allow you to bring your baby to face such a dangerous opponent.”

"Stop spouting nonsense." Xu San couldn't help but interrupt his brother. "Chu Lan, don't be afraid. The Tang Sect has already promised that unless absolutely necessary, and without the joint permission of the principal, two vice-principals, or three or more directors, the Dan Shi technique cannot be used. It will not be used in any life-or-death battle."

If anyone uses this without authorization, our company will handle it according to our rules and regulations. Don't give Tang Clan any special treatment. Have you seen Ultraman? It's similar to Ace's Ultra Guillotine.

"Hiss..." Zhang Chulan gasped. As a good young man born in the 90s, how could he not have watched Ultraman? "Third Brother, what you're saying makes me even more panicked. Ace said he needed permission from the Land of Light to release that thing, but later on, he just clapped his hands and it was released. Could this Dan Shi also..." "Maybe." Xu San understood. For a top sect like Tang Sect in the world of supernatural beings, they certainly couldn't completely stop or prevent their disciples from doing anything.

"But you don't need to worry this time. The Luo Tian Grand Ceremony is attended by the company and various sects. The top expert in the world of supernatural beings, the Old Celestial Master, will personally watch the battle. The Tang Sect would never dare to do that."

"Hmm." Zhang Chulan was filled with trepidation. His purpose in coming here was to win the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, meet the Old Master, and ask him what exactly happened to his grandfather.

“Zhang Chulan, you must be mentally prepared. If only these few people appear, we can try our best this time. You and Bao Bao can work together, one inside and one outside, and we have a chance to win. But if other people come, don’t say I didn’t warn you, just give up immediately and we’ll think of another way.”

Xu Si, who had a roguish air about him, suddenly became serious. His brother, Xu San, nodded in agreement. "Indeed, no matter what, you're now a member of the company, so your personal safety is probably not a problem. To put it bluntly, your grandfather has been dead for so many years, so there's no rush to find out the truth."

"No... what's so exaggerated about this?" To be honest, Zhang Chulan didn't feel angry. Over the past few days, he had gained a certain understanding and knowledge of Xu San and Xu Si, the company, and Feng Baobao. He didn't think that the Xu brothers were deliberately trying to distance him from the truth or make him abandon it.

After all, the biggest mystery lies right beside him: the immortal Feng Baobao, whom even Grandpa Xu Xiang entrusted to him, not to mention his grandfather's Qi Source Flow. Ultimately, his grandfather will age; Zhang Chulan is certain of that.

However, as the head of Na Du Tong Company and a regional manager of an organization dealing with supernatural beings, Xu Si had never been so serious before. He was very curious, and also somewhat anxious. If his grandfather's secret involved a powerful force that even the company struggled to contend with, then... how could that be possible!
The company is backed by the state.

What kind of era is this? Just because you have a couple of weapons, you think you can defy the government? That's quite ironic.

Xu Si seemed to see through Zhang Chulan's thoughts and said, "You're right. Our All-Knowing Sect is backed by the state, so no sect of supernatural beings dares to mess with us. Even the Quanxing Sect, a place teeming with villains, can only cause trouble secretly. On the surface, they still have to cooperate with us obediently, unless..."

"unless?"

"Unless they are backed by a state."

Xu San continued for his brother, "Our All-Union is a branch of the state, representing the state, but it is not the same as the state. Official institutions are also divided into several parts."

"There's another official agency?" Zhang Chulan's expression turned serious.

"To be precise... public universities."
