Chapter 35: Yan Feirou’s Shock

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Meng Chao breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, Yan Feirou would definitely treat his PM seriously, right?

After thinking about this, Meng Chao went about at length about the future Ripple Force. From his memory fragments, he regurgitated a large amount of the profound secrets of the future Ripple Force, the formulae that he could not quite understand, and the calculations to transfer force.

Once he finished regurgitating, he looked at his message, and he did not understand what he just wrote.

But it was fine. Even if he did not understand, Ripple Force Princess would definitely understand. Even if she did not understand, her dad and grandpa were around!

Once Meng Chao was done with the message, he brought out the items he had prepared.

He placed his phone on a stand and turned on the recording function. He was now prepared to use the future Ripple Force to turn the pork into mince meat.

“Ripple Force Princess, please witness what is a real ripple!” Meng Chao smiled.

But he had forgotten something.

His phone was still connected to the television, and the television was not turned off.

And the interface of those who gave rewards was different from the interface of normal viewers. They had an upgraded one which sparkled and had flowers raining down on the screen.

Once they rewarded a broadcaster a certain amount, a few colorful words would also pop up saying “Thanks to ‘whatever the name is’ for gifting ‘insert amount of coins here’.”

Hence, Bai Jiacao, who was waiting to eat in the living room, saw that her big brother, who was usually MEGA stingy, had giften that older girl one million broadcasting coins.

She calculated with her fingers for a long time before she figured out that this was worth ten thousand, and it was enough to feed her family for three months.

She jumped up from the couch and ran into Meng Chao’s room.

She was right on time to see her brother staring at the phone with a strange smile. He even held a large piece of pork in his hands.

Bai Jiacao looked as if she was struck by lightning.

Meng Chao’s face turned dark, and he glared at Bai Jiacao.

‘There’s something seriously wrong with Jiacao today. She’s really excitable. Is her head a little funny because of the lecture today?’

When he thought about this, he realized that his expression was a little fierce. He quickly moved his facial muscles and put on a gentle smile as he said, “Sis, do you need something?”

Bai Jiacao put her hand on her chest to suppress the urge to scream.

In an instant, the Dark Witch, who had to grow up far too quickly, thought of a whole lot more things.

She gulped down with great difficulty and shook her head a little. She then bowed deeply to apologize for her rash behavior and left the room with her head lowered. Her movements were very gentle, slow, and considerate when she closed the door to make sure that she did not make a single sound.

Yan Feirou had just finished conducting a public class in a corner of Dragon City University’s gymnasium, and her coursemates and assistants cheered.

“Yes! Your popularity has increased by fifteen percent compared to your last class. Feirou, you’re becoming more and more popular.”

“We’re currently ranked at the thirteenth place on the popularity poll, and we’re more popular than many of the powerful fighters killing monsters. Feirou, you even won against the online lecture Professor Wang posted!”

The coursemates gasped in amazement.

Yan Feirou smiled. “We can’t make comparisons this way. Professor Wang’s Cicada Listening Force is a very high grade advanced force execution method. Many of the university students don’t understand it, and the normal netizens are absolutely baffled by it. Our Ripple Force is a basic force execution method that is good for both the elderly and the young, so it’s only natural that we have a wider audience.”

“Stop trying to be humble. Professor Wang just praised you yesterday, saying that as long as we master the Yan Family Ripple Force and practice his Cicada Listening Force, we’ll definitely improve by leaps and bounds,” a girl said with a smile. She had the look of someone who was really good at forming social connections.

Then, her phone rang. She lowered her head and glanced at it. Her eyes instantly lit up. “Look, the president of Martial Arts Research Center heard that you broke the popularity record again, and he’s eager to treat us all to a meal to celebrate the occasion!”

“Is he treating us or just Ripple Force Princess?” Yan Feirou’s classmates giggled while teasing her.

Yan Feirou’s face turned red, and she said, “Of course he’s treating the entire class. Some of his friends who have joined the workforce will also be joining. By the looks of it, he wants to promote Feirou as the brand of our research center.”

Dragon City University was a famous university among famous universities even when it was on Earth.

The students in it were all blessed. Before they graduated, all sorts of clubs, fighting squads, companies, and forces of power extended invitations to them. They were used to it, and they did not treat themselves as normal students.

Yan Feirou thought about it. There were great benefits in promoting her family’s Ripple Force to the business partners, so she could not reject them.

“Alright, go on ahead of me, everyone. Tell the president that I’m going back to my dorm to get changed.”

Yan Feirou parted ways with her coursemates and looked through her phone while she walked. She wanted to see the effects of her class just now.

Right away, she saw Old Fire Relayer’s private message.

Since he was someone rich, if she could afford not to offend him, she would try her best not to offend him.

Yan Feirou tapped open the private message function to give a few perfunctory remarks, but then, she saw a series of profound and complicated formulae and could not help but laugh.

Now, everyone gave a huge stress to the economy of attention. Throughput was everything. There was nothing secretive about a basic force execution method.

This was especially so for Ripple Force. The education department of the city had spent a lot of money to buy this intellectual property, and it was disseminated to the citizens from the moment they attended elementary school. The original version of the force execution formulae and the breathing technique were printed clearly in the textbooks.

There were also plenty of demonically modified versions, evolved versions, and upgraded versions of the technique online.

However, the Yan family’s Ripple Force was the source of all Ripple Forces. They were continuously refining it and they published a new version every year.

No one in Dragon City had the ability to call the Yan family out for flaws when it came to the force execution formula of Ripple Force, since they always revised it carefully.

In the past, the Yan family had run into many similar situations like that of Yan Feirou. People who thought too highly of themselves would often bring out the breathing techniques and force execution formulae they had modified carelessly to boast shamelessly in front of Yan family’s face. “Your Ripple Force has these weaknesses and can be modified this way.”

Heh. Such people were known as crank scientists on Earth. The short form of that term was crank.

They were just deluding themselves and were trying to curry favor by doing something impressive. They were not worthy of being treated seriously.

‘He spent ten thousand just so that I would comment on the crank version of his Ripple Force?’ Yan Feirou shook her head. She simply could not understand the thoughts of rich people.

But since he gave her ten thousand, she decided to spend half a minute on Old Fire Relayer’s message.

She could only spend thirty seconds on this sort of whimsical force execution formula. If she spent even one second longer, it would pollute her eyes.

While thinking this, Yan Feirou stood by the road and quickly scrolled down the message as she read it casually.

Ten seconds later, the speed at which she scrolled down slowed.

Twenty seconds later, her eyes grew wide, and her gaze focused bit by bit.

Thirty seconds later, her jaw fell slack to the point that someone could stuff a peach into her mouth.

Forty seconds later, Yan Feirou took a few steps back. Her legs had gotten weak, and she had to lean against the wall to remain standing.

Fifty seconds later, Ripple Force Princess’ heart raced, and she could not regain her composure even after a long time had passed.

A whole minute later, she opened her chatting software with a complicated emotion to send a message to the chat group named Dragon City Martial Arts Research Center. [Sorry, I have something to do tonight. I won’t be able to come.]

[What?]

Everyone was shocked. [Feirou, you’re the main character today. What do you mean you’re not coming?]

Even the president of the martial arts research center asked, [Feirou, what happened? I invited some friends from Whirlwind Fighting Squad and Thundercloud Gene Company over tonight. It’ll be good for our development after we graduate. Aren’t you going to come over to chat with them?]

[I have some things to do, and it’s very urgent.] Yan Feirou gritted her teeth.

Very soon, a senior from the martial arts research center came looking for her.

“Junior sister?” The senior was shocked when he saw how shocked and absent-minded Yan Feirou was.

“Senior Brother Zhao.” Yan Fei could only force herself to smile.

Zhao Nan was not just her senior by one year, but also her father Yan Zhennan’s direct disciple. He was among the top successors of the third generation of the Yan Family Ripple Force.

Both of them were legitimate students under the same teacher, so it was only natural that they shared a deep relationship.

“Senior brother, you came at the right time. Look at this carefully.” Yan Feirou handed her phone to him.

Zhao Nan lowered his head to look, and he immediately frowned. “Which crank martial artist harbored delusions of his own grandeur this time?”

“You’ll understand if you continue reading.”

“Yeah, I’m looking at it. His version does seem legit, and it’s different from the other crank martial artists. Huh? This breathing method is a little interesting. He imitated the essence of the Yan Family Ripple Force pretty well. He even tried to improve our foundation? How vain. Seriously, he’s just tooting his own horn. How arrogant.”

Zhao Nan continued scrolling down. “But the deduction process of this formula is pretty meticulous. He used the Navier-Stokes equation to solve the entire process of how energy travels from the feet to the fingertips. He also explained the flow separation of energy and high-speed circulation.

“Look at this as well, he mentioned the mutual interference from shock waves and boundary layers, which led to the problem of an imbalance in force execution. He also mentioned seven unknown stress directions that seal the problem. It’s a new style, alright. Hmm... look at this. Huh? This as well. He pointed out several weaknesses in the current Ripple Force, and they... seem to truly exist.”

As Zhao Nan read, he started trembling. Cold sweat broke out on his face, and he could not stand properly.

“This is...”

His eyes became unfocused, as if they were seeing through Yan Feirou and the lecture building into the horizon. “Who sent this?”

“There’s a short video down below. Take a look.” Yan Feirou tried to control herself and stop trembling.

Zhao Nan tapped open the video.

He saw a person whose face and body were censored by a mosaic. Only his arms were revealed. In them, he held a piece of pork and a piece of tofu.

He executed the force and made the pork tremble so much that it turned into mince meat, but the tofu remained perfectly unharmed.

“This control is—?! When normal people execute Ripple Force, their biggest problem is that they can’t control their energy from surging like waves through their entire body. They usually end up either not being able to execute force in their arms or executing force with both.

“The left part of this expert is vibrating at high speed, and he controlled the vibrations of his left hand’s muscle. In just half a minute, he turned the piece of pork into mince meat, while the tofu in his right hand did not shatter. This accurate control means that he has already mastered Ripple Force!” Zhao Nan cried out.

Yan Feirou nodded. “Look at it closer. Which school does this method belong to?”

Zhao Nan slowed the playback speed of the video three times and rewatched it. Each time, he became more shocked.

“This seems to be the Yan Family Ripple Force... but it also has at least the essence of eight other schools mixed into it. There are also a lot of minute adjustments in the technique. I’ve never heard of it before, and I’ve never seen it before from Master. How could this be?”

“That’s right,” Yan Feirou agreed. “This is a Ripple Force that uses the Yan Family Ripple Force as its base while it has also gathered together all the perfected Super Ripple Forces. But that’s not the strangest thing. Look carefully at the image behind the mosaic. Take a look at the clothes the person is wearing.”

Zhao Nan took a look at the video, and when red almost began bleeding into his irises, he finally noticed it.

“A school uniform?” he cried out. “This is the school uniform of high schoolers in Dragon City! Could it be that the person who executed this Ripple Force is a high school student?”
