I will be stronger after the remake

Feng Xiu wasn't surprised that Tang Ping guessed the effect of his psionic energy. After all, engineers weren't exactly rare psionic beings. He shook his head and explained, "My psionic energy can only repair damage. Faults caused by mismatches in specifications are not within the scope of repair, because even if all the parts are in perfect condition, it still won't work."

"Then why can this nail gun be used?"

"Because nail guns are not very precise. Compared to children's toys, they are certainly precise, but compared to mobile phones and computers, they are far less precise. Their margin for error is much larger than people imagine. Unlike mobile phones, which cannot function if a single electronic component is soldered incorrectly."

Feng Xiu paused for a moment, then generously shared, "Moreover, there's a trick to it. If you bring the whole gun here, it's very likely you won't be able to use it. But if you disassemble the gun into different components, bring them to the Illusionary Realm, and then reassemble them, it's very likely you'll be able to use it."

"What's the principle?"

"The devil knows!"

Feng Xiu laughed and cursed, then suddenly saw a shrimp soldier rushing towards him. He hurriedly shot at the shrimp's head, but the shrimp blocked the shot with its claws.

Just as he was about to call Tang Ping to run away together, he saw Tang Ping casually slap out with her hand. It looked like she didn't use much force, but the shrimp soldier who was hit was sent flying more than 20 meters away.

The shrimp soldiers that landed twitched and bounced a few times before dying.

Upon seeing this, Feng Xiu opened his mouth wide, and after a long while, he said, "Could it be that I misheard you? Your spiritual type is not that of a novice monk, but that of a martial monk?"

Tang Ping said, "I personally know a little bit of martial arts."

"This is not just a little..."

Feng Xiu shook his head, not delving into the details, and continued the previous topic: "I don't know exactly what the difference is between the physical laws of the two worlds, but as long as we try more, we can always find the most effective result. After all, physical laws are constant, and constant things can be solved by exhaustive search. The nail gun in my hand is the best result after screening. If it were used back in the real world, it would most likely explode."

Tang Ping nodded, just about to offer a few words of praise in the same way she had used to appease Duan Jie, when Lin Xi suddenly ran over, shouting, "This is a battle! Can you two be serious?"

Tang Ping glanced at Lin Xi, then at the five shrimp soldiers and one crab general chasing after her, and chose to expose her intentions without mercy: "If you want help, just say so. As colleagues, I'm not incapable of helping you."

Once the shrimp soldiers and crab generals were out of the water, their threat level dropped sharply. However, Lin Xi was only a first-level psionicist, and besides, the "Singer" herself was not good at combat. She could only deal with them using spiritual arts, and she couldn't handle a large number of enemies.

Caught off guard, Lin Xi retorted angrily, "Who, who asked you to save me! I can handle this on my own, I don't need your help!"

Tang Ping responded with an "oh," readily agreeing, "Alright, then we won't disturb your display of power."

As he spoke, he pulled Feng Xiu away.

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, not expecting the other party to leave so abruptly. She was furious and about to curse the other party for being rude when the two shrimp soldiers suddenly sprayed out two jets of water. She was so frightened that she hurriedly dodged, but one of the jets of water still grazed her arm. She couldn't help but groan in pain, and her whole arm became red and swollen.

At the same time, the crab rushed over at a speed disproportionate to its size, opening its claws like guillotines to clamp down on Lin Xi's neck.

Lin Xi was so frightened that she dared not move. At the critical moment, Tang Ping arrived in time and kicked the crab away.

That being said, it's impossible to actually stand by and watch someone die, and there's no deep-seated hatred between them.

Moreover, Liu Lingling and He Fengsheng both had their attention focused on this area. If Tang Ping didn't intervene, the two of them would definitely step in to save Lin Xi. After all, they were all normal people, not some demonic sect from a gangster or cultivation novel.

"you you……"

Lin Xi was still in shock and couldn't speak a complete sentence while pointing at the soup screen.

"What do you mean, 'you'? If you want to ask someone for help, then act like you're asking for help. That kind of 'I need help, but I won't say it, you have to understand and provide it for free' tactic is a trick only a green tea bitch would use, and only a simp would fall for it. Do we look like simps to you?"

Feng Xiu had intended to advise Tang Ping to be more magnanimous and not to argue with a young girl, but upon hearing this, he immediately swallowed his words. The term "simp" was too insulting, and he instinctively felt resistant to it.

Lin Xi burst into tears, sobbing, "I... I was just about to thank you, did you have to be so mean to me? I haven't done anything wrong, why are you treating me like a bad person?"

"Oh dear, I actually made the girl cry."

Feng Xiu's heart skipped a beat. Although he hadn't done it, he couldn't help but feel pity when he saw the girl crying, and he thought that things might not end well now.

But when he turned to look at Tang Ping, he found her with an indifferent and even somewhat disgusted expression.

"Wow, these are even more ruthless straight men."

Is that all you wanted to say?

Tang Ping said impatiently.

Lin Xi shrank back and said timidly, "Don't be so fierce... please help me."

Tang Ping glared and said, "Speak louder, I can't hear you!"

Lin Xi, in a fit of desperation, pleaded, "Please help me!"

"You should have said that earlier."

Tang Ping stepped forward, striking each shrimp with a single palm strike, as if dealing with ordinary shrimp rather than monsters. His penetrating force easily pierced through their shells and killed them.

Suddenly, a large group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals were thrown over, landing right in front of him. But he remained calm and unhurried, as if he had already planned out the next steps in his mind. He systematically eliminated them according to the order in which the enemies got up.

When faced with an enemy spraying water jets, he would only slightly turn his body to the side, making very little movement, as if he were acting. He knew exactly where the enemy would attack and cooperated with them when necessary, showing complete composure.

Lin Xi found his figure incredibly reliable and couldn't help but stare at him in a daze.

"This actually works!"

Feng Xiu noticed Lin Xi's expression and immediately realized that he had misjudged him. He wondered to himself, "Could this guy not be a straight man, but a dating expert?"

As a Buddhist spiritualist, how can you be so adept at manipulating women's minds? Do you have any respect for Buddha?

……

With the help of the "Water God's power," Zhou Canglan brought all the changes around him under control, including the commotion on Tangping's side. However, he dismissed it as just students playing around and paid no attention.

As he used water as a medium to extend his consciousness, he quickly located the Qiantang Dragon King hidden deep at the bottom of the river. The other party also sensed his consciousness, and the moment they made contact, it was like a thunderbolt striking a prairie fire, and an invisible spiritual clash erupted.

In an instant, the river water seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand, forming a huge whirlpool. The suction force at the center of the whirlpool was amazing, pulling in the surrounding river water, fish and shrimp, and even the sand and stones at the bottom of the river.

Not to mention the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, even the stronger yakshas could not stand in this chaotic current. They were tossed about by the whirlpools, frantically waving their weapons, trying to steady themselves, but to no avail. They could only let out screams as they were mercilessly swept ashore.

Suddenly, a massive dragon shadow slowly appeared on the river surface, opening its mouth wide and emitting a series of ancient and mysterious dragon roars. The surging waves gradually calmed down in the sound of the dragon's roar, and the rotation of the whirlpool also began to slow down.

At the same time, the river water transformed into countless sharp water spikes, shooting towards Zhou Canglan like a rain of pear blossoms. The water spikes cut through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

Zhou Canglan's expression was cold and unwavering. He spread his five fingers in front of him, and the water spikes that were shot at him stopped instantly, as if soldiers had encountered their general and dared not disobey.

"Who dares to act so recklessly on my Qiantang River!"

Upon seeing this, the Dragon King of Qiantang was enraged. His dragon body coiled at the bottom of the river, and his enormous shadow was clearly visible on the surface of the river through the layers of water.

The dragon shadow seemed to be alive. As its whiskers danced, it began to absorb the surging water around it. In the blink of an eye, the water gathered into an even larger water dragon, baring its fangs and claws as it rushed toward Zhou Canglan. Wherever it passed, the river water was stirred up even more violently.

"How dare a mere scaled loach flaunt its water-controlling abilities in front of me! How laughable!"

Facing the raging water dragon, Zhou Canglan's expression remained unchanged. Instead, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and his aura suddenly surged. He unleashed the power of the Water God, vying with the dragon for control of the water.

Just as the water dragon was about to touch him, Zhou Canglan suddenly stretched out his right hand, his five fingers spread, and released his powerful water control power instantly. The water dragon that was rushing towards him seemed to be pulled by an invisible but powerful force, and stopped in mid-air. Then it began to twist and swirl.

Zhou Canglan's lips curled into a cold smile. He clenched his palm inward as if he had grasped something. With this action, the water dragon under his control suddenly expanded and then exploded in mid-air.

In an instant, water splashed everywhere, like cannonballs flying in all directions, blasting a huge hole in the river surface, which took a long time to be filled back by the surging river water.

As the controller of this water dragon, the spirit of the Qiantang Dragon King was closely connected with the water dragon. The explosion of the water dragon immediately caused it to suffer a strong backlash, and it couldn't help but let out a painful dragon roar, its huge body trembling violently in the river.

"Got you? Come out!"

Zhou Canglan reached out and grasped, then pulled upwards with force.

Wow!

A huge column of water shot into the sky, and the Dragon King of Qiantang was pulled out of the river like a shrimp soldier or crab general.

The Dragon King of Qiantang twisted its body, unleashing its dragon might, and forcefully broke free from control. It immediately locked onto the culprit, and after a moment's sensing, a hint of fear flashed in its angry eyes.

"Gonggong?"

He immediately understood. No wonder he couldn't win even underwater; this human's ability to control water was probably even greater than his own.

"Now that you've recognized me, why don't you surrender?"

Zhou Canglan raised his hand and grabbed at the air, causing the river water to boil and surge, as if stirred up by an invisible hand, forming one huge wall of water after another, pressing down on the Dragon King like a raging beast.

The Dragon King of Qiantang snorted coldly, his body turned in the air and transformed into a hundred-zhang-long green dragon. His dragon claws swept across the river surface and easily cut through the water wall, clearly intending to make full use of his hand-to-hand combat skills and play to his strengths.

"Defeating you was too easy, but that's not my goal today."

Zhou Canglan chuckled and lightly tapped his fingertip. Suddenly, a crystal-clear water curtain rose up in front of him, which then split into hundreds of streams, like soft water whips, lashing out at the Dragon King from all directions.

The Dragon King of Qiantang easily shattered the water whip with a swing of his claw, but the broken water whip instantly healed itself and wrapped around his body again, consuming his strength layer by layer, which was extremely annoying.

It was not a mindless beast. With a roar, it ignored the water whip's obstruction and charged forward with all its might, rushing straight to Zhou Canglan and tearing him to pieces with a single claw!

Chapter 191 Capturing and Releasing the Dragon

Everyone had witnessed Zhou Canglan turn his body into water, so no one thought he would be in trouble.

Indeed, that was the case. The moment Zhou Canglan was torn apart by the dragon claw, his body burst into water with a "bang".

Almost at the same moment, Tang Ping, who was watching the battle, activated his psionic power "Three-Eyed True Radiance". He had not used it in the past because he was worried that Zhou Canglan would notice, but now he finally got a good opportunity.

Although it's possible he's worrying unnecessarily, and the other party might not even notice if he uses it in person, it's never a bad thing to be cautious. Hiding such reconnaissance trump cards is much more effective than revealing them.

[Character: Zhou Canglan]

[Lingge: Gonggong, the Water God]

[Psionic Powers: Ancient God Bloodline, Divine Blessing, Divine Descent, Water God Authority, Mountain-Shattering and Pillar-Breaking Power, Raging Wave Body]

[Ancient God Bloodline: Possesses the bloodline of ancient gods, greatly enhancing vitality and physical attributes, and is not subject to the suppression of current god ranks]

[Divine Blessing: It can absorb the power of incense offerings and prayers, transforming it into spiritual power or divinity, and can also temporarily bestow a portion of its abilities upon believers.]

【Divine Realm Descent: Consumes a large amount of spiritual energy to summon a divine realm that is beneficial to oneself. The divine realm will present different effects depending on one's own characteristics.】

[Water God's Power: You are the master of water, able to control its flow at will, and can also use water as a medium for consciousness to extend perception]

[Mountain Shattering and Pillar Breaking: Ignores the Five Elements principle of Earth overcoming Water, and can destroy items with the concept of pillars.]

【Body of Raging Waves: As long as the target's body contains water, you can draw spiritual energy from it and transform your body into water element. However, maintaining this elemental form for an extended period will gradually cause you to lose your rationality.】

Zhou Canglan, having transformed into a water elemental form, condensed into a shape above the river and summoned countless water whips, which then coiled towards the target.

The Dragon King of Qiantang let out a deep roar, and golden light surged on his claws, condensing into powerful energy that shot through the air like golden arrows with a piercing whistling sound, swiftly cutting through the water whips along the way.

Zhou Canglan neither dodged nor evaded, letting the golden claw energy slash at his body. Every part that was hit would turn into water droplets and then heal instantly.

The claws were imbued with the spiritual power and dragon's will of the Qiantang Dragon King, so they were not entirely harmless to Zhou Canglan. However, when Zhou Canglan touched the Qiantang Dragon King with his water whip, he activated his "Raging Wave Body" to secretly draw spiritual power from the other's body. With one power decreasing and the other increasing, there was almost no loss.

From the very beginning, Zhou Canglan did not take the Qiantang Dragon King seriously. As the oldest water god in Chinese mythology, Gonggong's control over water was even greater than that of dragons. Moreover, the opponent's proud melee combat ability was completely useless against his elemental form.

From the perspective of compatibility, Gonggong's spirit is at least completely suppressed by Qiantang Dragon King, even if it is not a complete counter. Therefore, Zhou Canglan's goal was never to defeat or kill the opponent, but to deplete the opponent's spiritual power and physical strength and then throw him to others for practice. The difficulty was no less than capturing him alive.

The Dragon King of Qiantang was unaware of Zhou Canglan's true intentions, but he knew that he would inevitably be defeated if things continued this way. With a long dragon roar, he commanded, "Yaksha, heed my command! Form the formation and strangle them!"

Suddenly, a series of splashes erupted on the river surface. Twelve patrolling yakshas, ​​wielding water-splitting spikes, charged into the sky, their weapons glowing with a ghostly blue poisonous light. They formed a mysterious array that enveloped Zhou Canglan, and poisonous mist spread within the array.

Seizing the opportunity, the Qiantang Dragon King gathered all its power, and golden light surged violently on its body, condensing into a thick layer of energy that enveloped its entire body like golden armor. With a sudden flick of its tail, the river surface instantly surged with towering waves, and it used this momentum to launch its charge.

“It’s a pointless resistance. Your every move is under my control.”

Zhou Canglan revealed a contemptuous smile, flicked his finger downwards, and the rising water column suddenly became viscous like glue, turning back to form a water prison that enveloped the Yakshas.

As he reached out and clenched his fist, the inner walls of the water prison began to contract inward. The patrolling yakshas were horrified to find that the water-splitting spikes in their hands were shattering inch by inch, and their hard demon masks were also twisted and deformed by the invisible water pressure.

The river patrol yaksha frantically swung its iron claws, trying to tear apart the water curtain, but to no avail. The screams stopped abruptly, and the twelve burly bodies turned into blood mist under the immense water pressure. Even the flying bits of flesh were crushed into dust and flowed back into the Qiantang River.

"When you were still thinking of using water against me, your fate of defeat was already sealed."

Zhou Canglan didn't even bother to look at the results of the battle below. Water vapor rapidly condensed around him, forming a huge, crystal-clear water wall in front of him.

The Dragon King of Qiantang charged forward with immense force. The moment it hit the wall of water, it paused slightly before smashing it into a shower of water droplets. Its momentum had not subsided, and it continued to surge forward.

Zhou Canglan remained expressionless, his figure retreating rapidly like a ghost. At the same time, he waved his hands repeatedly, and a second and third wall of water rose up one after another, layer upon layer, blocking the Dragon King's path.

With each water wall it crashed through, the golden aura around the Qiantang Dragon King dimmed, and its speed slowed down. But its eyes were bloodshot, and it continued to charge wildly, disregarding the rapid loss of its spiritual energy, trying to hit its target before it ran out of power.

However, while retreating, Zhou Canglan skillfully manipulated the water flow, incorporating the power of rotating vortices into the water wall, so that when his opponent broke through the water wall, he not only had to withstand the resistance of the impact, but also had to resist the tearing force of the water flow.

When the seventh water wall shattered, the Dragon King of Qiantang's energy was as weak as a candle in the wind, and his movements became sluggish.

A cold glint flashed in Zhou Canglan's eyes. He stopped dodging and suddenly raised his hands high. The river water surged into the sky like a giant python, condensing into a huge ancient god statue behind him.

"The desperate struggle of the weak is nothing but a futile effort; you may step down now."

The ancient colossal statue unleashed a palm strike, carrying overwhelming power, and slammed it down on the Qiantang Dragon King.

The Dragon King of Qiantang tried to dodge, but he was already powerless and could only watch helplessly as the giant hand fell. With a loud "boom", he was heavily knocked away and his huge body crashed heavily onto the rocks on the shore. The flying pebbles mixed with golden dragon blood were scattered all over the ground. He tried to struggle to get up, but he was powerless.

Looking at the figure floating in mid-air, Liu Lingling sneered, "All you do is put on an act."

That's what she said, but her eyes were full of admiration and affection.

He Fengsheng noticed this and was somewhat troubled. Such arrogance and flamboyance were not his style, and he couldn't learn it even if he wanted to.

Tang Ping and Feng Xiu went up to take a closer look and marveled at it. Lin Xi was a little scared but also very curious, so she shrank back behind Tang Ping and peeked out to observe secretly.
