Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 111 Liang Xiao on the Verge of Madness

Huang Yaoshi said he would set up an array on the back of the monarch, Melupa. It sounds mysterious, but the principle he used was actually very simple.

Under his instructions, Cha Nan set up three simple observation points for time, distance, and spatial movement. The specific observation method was also very simple. He simply used some existing materials such as bamboo leaves and bamboo strips to make some small observation tools. By combining light, wind, movement time, and movement speed for comparison and reference, he was able to draw some fairly accurate data conclusions.

Based on these data and conclusions, he then directed Chanan to manipulate the monarch Melupa into running wildly and causing destruction in the bamboo forest.

Ultimately, this is still a contest of mathematics.

It can be said that mathematics is the foundation of formations.

People who are bad at math cannot learn formations.

After realizing this, Cha Nan immediately gave up the idea of ​​learning formations from Huang Yaoshi.

It would be a miracle if a sports student like him had good math grades!

Huang Yaoshi's method of breaking the formation was to calculate a portion of the data within the formation and then forcibly insert it into the 'database' prepared by Liang Xiao, turning many manipulated and calculable conclusions into unknown variables.

When a large number of variables were crammed into Liang Xiao's 'database', no matter how good he was at calculations, he simply couldn't finish calculating them in a short time, let alone change the specific settings of the formation. He could only watch as Cha Nan broke the formation in the bamboo forest, losing the opportunity to collect more specific data from Cha Nan.

This is how a formation master solves a formation master's problem. Huang Yaoshi doesn't need to be better than Liang Xiao in arithmetic; he only needs to know how to destroy it.

Most of the time, destruction is easier than construction.

When Queen Meruba forged out the third path, the route that had been going in circles suddenly branched off into a small path. Following this path, which was clearly worn down by people over a long period of time, she soon found a bamboo house in the very center of a small bamboo grove.

At the entrance of the bamboo house sat a disheveled man, reeking of alcohol and looking utterly wretched. He lay sprawled on the bamboo steps, his loose hair obscuring the resentment and occasional flashes of madness in his eyes.

When he saw Cha Nan walking towards him from the end of the path, there was surprise in his eyes, but also a hint of relief.

He suffered a crushing defeat last time. If he had lost to an unknown nobody, he would have been very unwilling. But if he had lost to an equal master of arithmetic and formations, he would have felt a little better, though he was still unhappy.

"Liang Xiao?"

“I didn’t expect that incident to affect you so much… I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to. If possible, I would like to introduce you to some people. Perhaps talking to them will make you feel better.”

"Don't worry, their experiences are the same as yours, but they voluntarily lost some things. One of them recovered very well afterward, quickly developed a new perspective on love, and found a new lover."

Cha Nan looked at the person sitting on the bamboo steps and deliberately said provocative words.

Only by distracting Liang Xiao and reducing his sensitivity to his surroundings could Cha Nan throw the Parul ball representing Huang Rong, sending her into the bamboo house to search for Guo Xiang's whereabouts.

Of course, before that, Cha Nan first summoned the Earth-Earing Rat and sent it to check inside the bamboo house to see if Guo Xiang was inside or if it was just a trap.

It has to be said that the Earth-Dwelling Rat is a mythical beast with little presence and value in the game, but in reality, whether in the world of mythical beasts or the world of martial arts, it has many uses and has helped Cha Nan on several occasions.

"Are you feeling smug right now?" Liang Xiao glanced at Cha Nan and put down the wine jar in his hand.

Cha Nan smiled shyly and waved her hand: "No! No!"

"You probably don't know this, but the records of the strange events in the world by the Wind Seekers of the Mongol Empire mention that in one of the Ming Dynasty worlds, there was a scholar named 'Wei Yangsheng' whose body parts were swapped by a divine physician."

"There are also records of a high monk named Rama who regenerated severed limbs, which can restore a man's virility..." Liang Xiao said, showing the information he had found in the past few days. But these words also sounded like he was comforting himself, trying to keep his last thread of rationality from breaking.

People always need a glimmer of hope to live. Without hope, one either becomes a walking corpse or falls into the most insane despair.

If an ordinary person loses those two ounces of meat, they might get over it after a while.

However, Liang Xiao was proud and stubborn, so he couldn't see things clearly.

"That's great, good luck!" Cha Nan replied.

You can find a job that matches your major in this world.

After all, the legendary doctors and famous physicians in Jin Yong's martial arts world are quite mysterious.

Xu Zhu, a novice doctor who only learned medicine halfway through his career, was able to give A Zi a new eye. Zhang Wuji, who had only read a few medical books and had almost no medical experience, also became a miracle doctor. How can this be explained?
Liang Xiao suddenly looked up, his gaze turning cold as he looked at Cha Nan: "Mine is broken... Even if I find a miracle doctor and replace it, it won't be me. The shame will always remain. So... to wash away the shame, I have an idea."

Facing Liang Xiao's seemingly rational yet actually bordering-on-mad gaze, Cha Nan couldn't help but swallow hard, sensing that what he was about to say would definitely be outrageous.

"What are your thoughts?" Cha Nan asked.

“Cut yours off! Then give it to me!” Liang Xiao replied.

Cha Nan remained silent for a moment.

What kind of inhuman form of revenge is this?
That's disgusting!
Was it not his...thing that was crushed, but his brain? Or is it that a man's brain is naturally connected to his...thing?
Cha Nan originally came to mess with Liang Xiao's mentality, but now she almost lost her own mentality.

Sure enough, the reason he was able to make Liang Xiao lose his footing with his words last time was because he hit his weak spot, and Liang Xiao had never considered him an equal opponent.

Now that he's serious and has taken a stance, even without actually lifting a finger, the power of his words alone is not to be underestimated.

"Isn't this bad!"

"So, if you have sex with Miss Hua in the future, will it be yours or mine?"

"If we have a child later, will it be yours or mine?"

"How about this, I have a suggestion: you can host the wedding, you can be the groom, you can pay the dowry, and I'll do all the hard work in the bridal chamber. From now on, the three of us can live a good life together, that's better than anything else!"

Just talking big!

Cha Nan is least afraid of this, because in the world of fists, verbal sparring is the last vestige of fairness.

"Hehe... What a sharp tongue! It seems I'll have to cut off more than one thing in a while." Liang Xiao finally stood up, and Cha Nan also received feedback from the earth-burrowing rat that Guo Xiang was indeed in the bamboo house, but in an 'immovable' state.

The bamboo house was filled with complex and intricate traps and mechanisms, so that if one thing was not done correctly, Guo Xiang would be pierced by thousands of bamboo sticks and turned into a sieve.

It can be said that Liang Xiao's setup is quite abnormal.

Cha Nan relayed the message to Huang Rong using telepathy, then stepped forward and threw the Paluk Ball into the pile of dead leaves.

The three Paru balls landed scattered, attracting some of Liang Xiao's attention.
