Book 1: Chapter 29: Substandard, Inferior Sword Control Flight

Book 1: Chapter 29: Substandard, Inferior Sword Control Flight

Are you the world consciousness? Telepathic communication? This was nothing to make a fuss over for Chen Heng, as he had already learned how to type telepathically in the Dimension Administrators Association.

Right, right! That is me. Quickly chase that transmigrator away. If he does not agree, then just kill him!

Is there a need to rush? Where is he?

He is going to rescue Zhang Chulan with the Express Delivery Company. You have read the comic or anime before coming here, right? It’s the starting segment. There’s also a Xiangxi corpse herder. This world consciousness’s mouth was like a machine gun, rattling on nonstop.

[TL Note: Xiangxi is a region in China. You can read more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiangxi_Tujia_and_Miao_Autonomous_Prefecture.]

[TL Note: A corpse herder is a Daoist priest that uses shamanistic techniques to move a corpse back to its hometown. They use a ritual to make the corpse move on their own; this is seen as a form of white magic, as the ritual allows the dead to have their burial rites in their hometown, which was important to the Chinese. They would ring bells and gongs to alert people of their presence beforehand, so that the people would stay away and lock up the dogs lest the dogs damage the corpses. This was one of the origins of the Chinese zombie legends. Of course, this is just a legend, and there is no proof of this. You can read more about it in the Origin Story segment of Wikipedia’s Jiangshi (Chinese zombie) entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiangshi#Origin_stories.]

You know the story too?

Little brat, who are you looking down on?

Come on, give me a location. I’ll fly over.

I’ve already marked the location. Hurry! Lu Liang cannot get captured now.

Got it.

Chen Heng did not need to hide his abilities in this world. After all, no one could defeat him. He directly took to the sky by eliminating the downward attraction and turning it into a repulsion force. This allowed him to hover in the air. Then, he applied repulsion behind him, allowing him to achieve flight. However, Chen Heng went even further, standing on a sword. He had practiced this for a long time. After all, everyone dreamed of becoming a hero and wanting to fly.

The shortest distance between two points was a straight line. Furthermore, Chen Heng flew quickly, reaching the marked location in less than five minutes. When he arrived, he saw two sides facing off. At the same time, the two sides noticed Chen Heng riding the sword, flying in the sky. After all, he had no intention of hiding at all.

“Xu San, this is the same telekinesis as yours, right? Why is he flying in the sky? Doesn’t he know that he would become a big target there?” Feng Baobao asked. The first thing she did was criticize Chen Heng’s flying.

“I’m not sure. However, if he is capable of telekinesis and can fly quickly in the sky, he is quite powerful. If it is an ability to control objects, it would depend on how many swords he can control. However, is there anyone who would control such a big sword? He seems to have hostile intentions. Don’t make any rash moves first; we don’t know if he is Zensei’s reinforcement.”

[TL Note: The Under One Person anime was made as a collaboration between a Chinese and Japanese company. It was adapted from a Chinese manhwa. As a result, some terms, such as Zensei, are translated using Japanese terms found in the Wikipedia entry rather than a Chinese pinyin or English translation.]

“Elder Sister, this fellow is not from our Zensei, right? Is that item control or telekinesis?” Adept Hands Lu Liang asked Xia He beside him.

“They are both possible. However, this person should not be from Zensei. I have never heard of such a person before. Even so, it does not seem possible that he is from the opposing Express Delivery Company.” It had to be said that Bone Scraping Knife Xia He lived up to her name. She was scantily clad, looking very alluring.

[TL Note: Bone Scraping Knife is a Chinese metaphor for a seductress. The idea is that the desire would be like a metal knife scraping against the bone, eroding one’s rationality and eventually putting one in incredible pain.]

“Hey, hey! Flying by controlling a sword is already quite ridiculous, alright! The world of Outsiders is truly wonderful!” The one who shouted was the Xiangxi corpse herder, Liu Yanyan. This sole inheritor of Xiangxi’s Liu Clan seemed excited. She did not understand anything about item controlling abilities or telekinesis. She did not even know what Zensei or the Express Delivery Company was, what more this?

Standing on the sword, Chen Heng asked the Daoist-robed youth beside Xu San, “Hey, you must be Zhu Wen, right?

“Never mind. In any case, you can read minds. I can’t stop you from reading my mind. You know why I am here, right?”

It had to be said that this transmigrator was quite smart, sticking to the main character and taking the main character’s side. However, this person’s mind-reading ability was genuinely sub-par. No wonder he was worth only 500 points. He just had not met an expert with strong Will Energy. If experts knew that he was reading their minds, they would have slapped him long ago.

“Go-Got it…” Cold sweat broke out on Zhu Wen’s face. He had thought that by transmigrating to Under One Person’s world, he could secretly learn the Eight Great Skills and head toward the peak of life by relying on his mind-reading ability and understanding of the story.

In the end, he had only just started working with the main character when he ran into someone from the Dimension Administrators Association. Although this was his first time coming across this organization, he knew this person’s purpose just from the name. Furthermore, this person could resist his mind-reading ability. All he could read was this person’s intention to capture him.

“Then, are you coming with me, or do I have to make a move?” Chen Heng continued to stand on his sword, unaware that the expert persona he constructed for himself was seen as telekinesis and an item control ability.

“Zhu Wen, who is this?” Xu San interrupted. He had always found this person particularly suspicious; he could not find anything about this person. Zhu Wen claimed to have been cultivating in isolation in the mountains. Who was Zhu Wen following? Even the old Taoist masters had a photo at the Taoist Masters Hall. How could there be some hidden antique in the mountain?

“He is a demon from Zensei and is trying to steal my ancestral heirloom!” Zhu Wen decided to struggle a little after thinking for a while. He wanted to see if he could turn the tables by relying on the main character. Furthermore, he believed Zensei members would not deny that this person from the Dimension Administrators Association was their companion.

“So, he’s Zensei’s reinforcement! Many thanks for coming to help!” Indeed, Adept Hands Lu Liang did not disappoint Zhu Wen’s expectations. He quickly acknowledged Chen Heng to be their companion.

“Hah…! It looks like I still have to resort to force.” Chen Heng looked at the fool preparing to resist stubbornly and decided to scare Zhu Wen. Truth be told, he did not care about the 500 points. If not for the world consciousness’s friendship…

Snap! Chen Heng snapped his fingers as he stood on the sword. Then…nothing happened. He was bringing down a meteor. Why go to such lengths? Well, it looked awesome. In any case, it was free, right?

World Consciousness, I’m going to give them a scare. Is that fine?

Go on. As long as the main character is fine, the rest does not matter.

“Hahaha! Nothing happened!” Zhu Wen felt scared when Chen Heng snapped his fingers. Then, he anxiously touched his body, fearing that he had lost a body part. However, he found that nothing had happened.

“This fellow is all bark and no bite. Let’s attack today and beat up this Zensei demon!” Wanting to use the strength of the main character’s group to defeat Chen Heng, Zhu Wen encouraged Xu San and Feng Baobao to attack together. As for himself, he was just a bit skilled at martial arts and might not be a match for Chen Heng.

“That’s all? I thought that a person who could fly would be very powerful. Isn’t it a finger snap? I thought he would be a powerful boss.” Liu Yanyan crossed her arms, showing disdain on her face. (?_? )

“Elder Sister, this person isn’t crazy, right?” Lu Liang asked Xia He.

“I’m not sure. However, never underestimate anyone—especially people of unknown origins.” Xia He did not lower her guard.

Xu San used his telekinesis and made a large rock float up. However, he did not immediately attack Chen Heng.

“Why aren’t you attacking?” Zhu Wen patted Xu San, the only person with a long-range attack.

[Author Note: Please ignore Feng Baobao’s AV18 Style and the kitchen knife in her hand.]

[TL Note: Here is Feng Baobao’s profile, you can read more about her AV18 Style there: /wiki/Feng_Bao-Bao. She wields a kitchen knife as her weapon.]

“Be more careful. Who knows why he snapped his fingers earlier?” Xu San decided to observe the situation.

Hence, both sides kept their guard up. After a while…
