Chapter 34: Do As He Pleases
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Meng Chao clicked on the video and saw Yan Feirou standing in a corner at Dragon City University. There were eight a.s.sistants standing around her, and they threw eight buckets of water at her.
Even though there was the entire wireless network and a phone screen between them, Meng Chao could still hear a buzz, and Yan Feirou’s figure swiftly became blurry.
An astonis.h.i.+ng scene appeared. It was as if she was protected by an invisible s.h.i.+eld. Not a single drop of water from the eight buckets landed on her. Instead, she used the pulse of her muscles to bounce the water back. She looked like an immortal who was throwing flowers into the air. The water was flung dozens of meters away and formed a perfect circle.
A rainbow instantly appeared under the sun.
“Beautiful ripple!”
Meng Chao slapped the table and praised it.
The netizens who shared the same goals as he did started posting in-video comments and comments madly as well.
[Beautiful! As expected of Ripple Force Princess!]
[I didn’t expect that a basic force execution technique would produce such an exquisite and peerless effect. As expected of the Yan family, they’re indeed the creators of Ripple Force.]
[This is the strongest Ripple Force I’ve ever seen!]
Once Yan Feirou finished her demonstration, she drew the camera closer and pointed it at her chest and stomach.
“Among the three basic force execution techniques, Reckless Bull focuses on explosive force, Ripple Force focuses on lingering force, and Dragon Snake focuses on acc.u.mulating power. All three techniques have different breathing methods. The greatest characteristic of Yan Family’s Ripple Force is its unique breathing technique. Please take note of the tremors in my chest and stomach when I breathe in deeply.”
Yan Feirou’s voice was very sweet, and not like it belonged to someone from a martial arts family. Instead, she sounded like an idol who had just debuted and still retained some of her innocence.
It was no wonder why the broadcasting platform would give her the image of a princess based on her characteristics.
Her sweet voice and the tremors of her chest and stomach naturally caused many of the netizens to jump forth and speak.
The broadcasting platform and Yan Feirou herself knew that she wanted a peaceful life, so the broadcasting platform instantly deleted most of the R-18 in-video comments and left behind only the comments seriously asking for opinions regarding the martial art. The broadcasting platform even highlighted some of the comments from netizens who used their real names to authenticate their accounts.
A netizen whose authenticated username was Dragon City University Martial Arts Research Center typed, [Vice President Yan’s Ripple Force is authentic. Youngsters who have just started learning the martial art, be serious when you try to understand it, and you’ll definitely gain something.]
A netizen who used his real name to authenticate his username and was known as the Creator of Zhao Family Ripple Force and the Club Master of Fierce Waves Fighting Club typed, [There are plenty of people in Dragon City who are researching Ripple Force, but even I have to admit that Yan Family’s Ripple Force is the origin of Ripple Force, and it’s definitely one of the strongest Ripple Forces in existence.]
A netizen whose authenticated username was Dragon City University of Technology Martial Arts Exchange Club asked, [Senior Sister Yan, when will you come to the University of Technology for an exchange again? Last time, you came over to provide guidance to us, and all of the martial art hobbyists in the University of Technology managed to learn a lot from you.”
For a period of time, the atmosphere was harmonious, and the in-video comments were focused on learning.
Meng Chao also stared at Yan Feirou’s chest and stomach seriously.
But his reaction was different from the praises and gasps of amazement from the in-video comments. After some time, he clicked his tongue.
“I knew it. Right now, Yan Feirou is still wet behind the ears. She’s still Ripple Force Princess and not the Ripple Force Queen. She’s far from executing the future version of Ripple Force. By then, Ripple Force would have gathered all the advantages from various schools to reach the peak of its strength.”
Meng Chao’s future version of Ripple Force was only at Specialist Level, so he only knew how to execute Ripple Force but not the essence of it.
He knew how to practice it, but had absolutely no idea as to why he should practice it this way, why he should execute force from this particular vein instead of that particular vein, and the scientific concepts hidden behind it.
But he did not need to teach it in detail. As long as he provided some guidance and pointed out a few flaws, even if he did not know the correct answer, it would be fine. He could just let Ripple Force Princess figure it out on her own.
However, his phone screen was too small. He could not see the faint ripples clearly. Meng Chao thought about it and decided to connect his phone to the TV. Then, he used a magnifying gla.s.s to search for the choppiness and immaturity in the ripples.
Hence, when Bai Jiacao opened the door to her house, she saw her older brother crouching in front of the television with his b.u.t.t out. He had a strange expression on his face, and he had his eyes narrowed while his face was stuck to a magnifying gla.s.s as he watched an older girl jumping around in yoga clothes.
Bai Jiacao sucked in a deep breath, took half a step back, and dropped her school bag on the ground.
The girl who had to become mature far too early because of her family burdens and the future Dark Witch thought of MANY things.
She shut the door behind her.
Then, she turned her head around and said to her mother, who was at the stairs. “Mom, we’re going in later.”
Bai Suxin was confused.
In a flurry of motion, Meng Chao opened the door wide. “Sis, Mom, since you already opened the door, why did you shut it?”
“Big Brother, can we go in?” Bai Jiacao asked tentatively.
“Duh. I just lectured you a little in the morning, I didn’t say that you can’t come back home. What’s with that expression?”
Meng Chao was puzzled. He did not understand what was going on. ‘Did I end up being too mean to the middle-school version of the Dark Witch when I was teaching her a lesson? Why’s she being so timid?
‘Oh well, I’ll have to take it slow in changing the Dark Witch and pay more attention to the method. I can’t be too crude and brutal. Look at her, she’s scared.’
The living room was too small, and his mom still had to cook, so Meng Chao could only go back to his room and stare at his phone.
Fortunately, he had already found some of the problems he wanted. Meng Chao thought about it for a while and changed his username to a name that would make him sound like an elder, then made his suggestion in a straightforward manner.
Hence, a discordant comment appeared in the row of harmonious in-video comments and comments below the video.
A netizen with an authenticated username of Something Something Ripple Force Research Center posted. [Yan Family Breathing Technique is indeed perfect. Even if I slow down by five times the speed, I still can’t understand it completely.]
Old Fire Relayer posted. [There’s clearly a problem in this breathing technique. Based on Yan Feirou’s height and her upper and lower body ratio, the center of her breathing should be 3.2mm above her thoracic diaphragm, not 3.5mm. And based on her weight judging by her body size, I believe that the best breathing frequency would be 4.6 times every ten seconds instead of 4.2 times while she fights, because that will be the amount of oxygen her blood needs to provide. It’s slightly slower right now.]
A netizen with the authenticated name Dragon City Military Academy posted. [Thank you for selflessly providing guidance, Ms. Yan. Last week, I ran into a Three-headed Poisonous Scorpion in Jiangnan Major District, and they’re infamous for being persistent. With the skill you taught me, I used Yan Family Ripple Force to fight against it for a total of half an hour before I was finally able to kill it by whittling its life away. As expected of Ripple Force, it’s indeed the basic force execution method that is the best when it comes to making your fighting abilities last and when it comes to saving physical strength.]
Old Fire Relayer posted. [Did the Three-headed Poisonous Scorpion you ran into have a red radial pattern on its head? If it didn’t, that’s good. That means it hasn’t mutated yet. If you run into a mutated form which has a red radial pattern on its head, just run. Your chances of winning aren’t high if you rely on this Ripple Force.]
A netizen with the authenticated username of Ninth of Furious Waves Fighting Club posted. [Yan Family Ripple Force is amazing. After receiving guidance from Ms. Yan, the frequency of my three-minute punching rate increased by five percent. My average punching force increased by seven percent, and my ten thousand meter dash shortened by fifteen seconds!]
Old Fire Relayer posted. [That’s great for you. But I think that you have a lot of room for improvement still. If you’re interested, you can PM me. I’m in a good mood today, so I can provide you guidance for free.]
The repeated criticisms angered the netizens.
[Who is this Old Fire Relayer? Is he a very good Ripple Force expert?]
[He doesn’t even have real-name authentication. He only shows part of himself, so he must be someone who can’t appear in public!]
[Heh, we’ve seen people like this who like to pretend to be experts so that they can become popular. Just ignore him. Where’s the lesson superintendent? Mute him, kick him out, and delete his account!]
Old Fire Relayer posted right after. [Everyone, don’t misunderstand. It’s not that I’m trying to hide a part of myself, and I’m not targeting the Yan Family Ripple Force either, much less harbor any sort of bad intentions. I just want to do something for society with my abilities and increase all of our fighting strength.]
The netizens refused to listen to him and started cursing him.
Meng Chao initially spoke the truth and tried reasoning with them. He tried bringing out a large number of formulae and diagrams to verify his views.
But in-video comments and the comments section were not good places to talk about academics. After exchanging a few comments, he became angry as well. What was wrong with trying to contribute to society now?
Hence, Meng Chao let his fingers fly and started shouting back at the netizens.
But once he started fighting back, he was muted for five minutes.
“This sure went out of hand.”
Meng Chao calmed down and felt that he was a little too rash.
The broadcasting platform was not a place to talk about serious things. The profound secrets of the future Ripple Force was not something that could be explained clearly with just a few words.
He should look for the uploader herself and talk to her in private to exchange information.
He believed that with Yan Feirou’s judgment, she would be able to see just how powerful the future Ripple Force was.
After all, her future self created it!
But Meng Chao reckoned that the netizens who spammed Yan Feirou with PMs every day were as numerous as the stars in the sky, and most of them were fis.h.i.+ng for fame and had ulterior motives.
He should be the only one who would so kindly and selflessly contribute to society.
How could he attract Ripple Force Princess’ attention so that she would notice that he was different from everyone else?
Meng Chao gritted his teeth and decided to throw money into this.
After all, he had become rich overnight, and right now, he had money!
With red-rimmed eyes, he charged up ten thousand to his account and exchanged it for one million broadcasting coins. Then, he threw it all at Yan Feirou.
When “1,000,000” sparkled and drifted over the screen, everyone in the broadcasting channel was stunned.
Even though Yan Feirou was very popular, she did not have rich people who were willing to reward her with one million broadcasting coins every time she put on a broadcast.
And when the people looked at the person who gave her that money, they found that he was the one who had been spewing nonsense and picking out flaws in others to cause trouble.
‘Do the rich people nowadays play such high-end games? Do they first do everything they can to belittle their target to lower their target’s expectations before they throw in a bomb that would allow them to instantly turn the tides? And by doing so, leave behind a deep impression in their G.o.ddess’ hearts?’
The netizens sucked in sharp breaths.
Some people even secretly gave Meng Chao a thumbs up. ‘You rich people seriously know how to play!’
Even Yan Feirou stopped moving on the screen.
She had learned about the conflict in the in-video comment zone and the comment zone just now.
Ever since her broadcasting cla.s.ses became more popular, the discordant comments showed up practically every cla.s.s, and muting them was something they normally did.
She did not expect, however, that when the person was muted, he would throw one million broadcasting coins at her. This shocked her a little.
The Yan family did not lack money, but if she wanted to promote Yan Family Ripple Force, she needed the support from various people.
Yan Feirou thought about it and smiled before she said, “Thank you for supporting me, Old Fire Relayer. There are still plenty of places where my Ripple Force is lacking. I hope that we can all research it and improve together.”
As she spoke, she bowed slightly to express her grat.i.tude to the rich person.
At the same time, she immediately unmuted Meng Chao.
Of course, the people who had been arguing with Meng Chao were still muted for five minutes. They did not have a single second reduced on their sentence.
This made the netizens so jealous that they wept. ‘You can seriously do whatever you want if you’re rich. This was true on Earth, and it’s true even in the Other World!’
