NOVEL NEXT Chapter 245: Acting with Urgency and Secrecy
Li Yuejin couldn't help but frown and said, "It's shouldn't be like this, Liang Yuan just came up the mountain, it's his first time encountering the sea tide."
"Last time when we had dinner with him, he didn't even know what the sea tide was. How could such a person think of picking up the red and white meat in advance?"
Zhuang Shuyuan sneered, "You can't judge a book by its cover. The sea can't be measured in one dip. This Liang person could even fight Brother Meng and forced him into his third blood and flesh form. That alone proves he isn't simple."
"For such a person, thinking of collecting benefits after the sea tide recedes is not a difficult task."
Li Yuejin nodded slightly, then hesitated for a moment, and said, "What about Brother Meng?"
He knew Wu Meng's temperament well. Wu Meng would definitely not agree to join hands with Tu Long.
Even if Liang Yuan refused cooperation, in all probabilities, Wu Meng would remain neutral and wait for Liang Yuan to come begging for help again.
But in doing so, they would lose the initiative.
Zhuang Shuyuan said, "Leave Brother Meng to me, you guys just get ready."
Li Yuejin nodded slightly and said, "Alright, I'll go inform everyone."
Zhuang Shuyuan nodded slightly. After everyone left, she got up and walked into the cave behind the pavilion.
The cave was still the same cave, except her room had been arranged a bit.
Not only was the floor covered with wooden boards, but there was also a Simmons mattress on the wooden bed.
This was brought back by Wu Meng from Liang Yuan.
This Simmons mattress made Zhuang Shuyuan happy for several days.
She walked towards Wu Meng's training room and heard bursts of booming explosions from inside.
Before going in, she could feel the terrifying airwaves rolling, and the temperature had risen considerably.
Zhuang Shuyuan stood at the entrance of the cave and looked inside.
She saw Wu Meng's muscles bulging all over his body, his body expanded several times, turning into a giant over two meters tall.
Every punch and kick he threw brought dreadful air roars.
Blood roared through his body, and a blood-colored rune seemed to flash intermittently inside his body.
Bang!
Suddenly, Wu Meng punched out, and in an instant, the blood light surged. The terrifying power caused a fierce explosion.
The air in front of him exploded instantly, and even the wall was blasted apart with one punch.
The huge wall was now covered with large and small deep pits!
Those deep pits looked like they had been blasted by explosives.
Wu Meng took a deep breath, retracted his fist, and his body quickly returned to normal.
He didn't turn around but already sensed Zhuang Shuyuan's arrival.
"It's not meal time yet, is it?"
He turned his head and asked in confusion.
Zhuang Shuyuan walked in, wiped his sweat, and asked with delight, "Was that move just now Blast Fist?"
Wu Meng smiled and nodded, "Yes, I have completely integrated the Bursting Rune into my combat techniques."
Zhuang Shuyuan was pleasantly surprised, "Then how do you compare to Tian Wei now?"
Wu Meng smiled confidently, "If Tian Wei were still alive, I don't think he could withstand three punches from me!"
His eyes gleamed, "I now speculate how Liang Yuan killed Tian Wei and restrained his fire attribute superpower."
Zhuang Shuyuan quickly asked, "How did he do it?"
"It's the air."
Wu Meng's eyes flashed with brilliance, "Liang Yuan's power is not inferior to mine. He just hasn't mastered the method of unity of force, but with full strength, he can still punch out a vacuum zone."
"The combustion of flames requires the support of oxygen. When the punch speed is fast enough and the power is strong enough, it can create a vacuum zone."
"In such a zone, Tian Wei's flames simply can't burn and would be naturally restrained by Liang Yuan."
Wu Meng sighed as he spoke, "A genius idea, indeed. Given that he also possesses spiritual attack methods, killing Tian Wei wouldn't be too difficult."
After listening to Wu Meng's analysis, Zhuang Shuyuan couldn't help but ask, "Then if you were to fight Liang Yuan, how long could he hold out?"
Wu Meng thought for a moment and said, "If I don't use my combat instinct, I'd probably be at a disadvantage since his spiritual attacks do have some impact on me."
"But once I close off my sea of consciousness and leave myself to my combat instinct, he won't be my match."
"As for how long he could last..."
"One minute!"
"Within one minute, he would definitely fall under my fists!"
Wu Meng recalled the last fight with Liang Yuan, estimating his overall strength.
He was confident that he could defeat Liang Yuan within a minute.
Although Liang Yuan might have backup measures, he himself hadn't used his combat instinct either.
He believed in his strength, especially now that he had fully integrated the techniques of the Bursting Rune into his Blast Fist.
Zhuang Shuyuan immediately laughed. She thought for a moment and said, "Brother Meng, I think you and Liang Yuan might have to fight again."
Wu Meng looked at Zhuang Shuyuan upon hearing this.
He was not foolish; he immediately realized something and asked, "He refused to cooperate?"
Zhuang Shuyuan nodded slightly.
Wu Meng sighed, "Indeed, those who can reach this point won't easily compromise. This is the mindset of a strong person."
"Forget it, if he doesn't want to cooperate, then we won't cooperate. When Meihai Garden and Phoenix Temple join forces and they can't hold out, they will naturally come to us for help."
Wu Meng seemed to have anticipated this and was not too surprised.
Zhuang Shuyuan couldn't help but say, "Brother Meng, this time we might not be able to sit back and watch the tigers fight. People from Phoenix Temple have arrived, and Tu Long has invited you and Li Yuefeng to gather at the Gouwu Pavilion to discuss the mine ownership issue."
Wu Meng frowned upon hearing this and said, "They haven't even fought yet, and they're already planning on dividing the mine ownership?"
