It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future (WN)

"Flexibility?" Luo Lang was even more surprised by this new fact. He knew that his boss's Regretless also possessed a certain degree of flexibility.

"Yes. If you are interested, sir, you can open up the protective cover and test it out personally," suggested the shop assistant.

Luo Lang nodded and the shop assistant turned off the protective cover. Under the prompting of the shop assistant, Luo Lang pressed down on the body of the sword and sure enough, the sword bent a little under the force of his fingers. When he stopped pressing down, the blade bounced back to normal.

"It's a good weapon. How much for this Firmament?" Luo Lang's first thought was that this sword was very suitable for his boss and so he inquired about it.

"Because its material is rare and precious, it is several times more expensive than normal cold weapons." The shop assistant displayed the price of Firmament to Luo Lang, and Luo Lang's complexion changed. This was not just a matter of 'several times' ... that price — even if he added up everything he owned, he still would not be able to buy the hilt of the sword.

Resigned, Luo Lang said, "Hold onto this sword for me for now. Wait for a moment and I'll bring someone over to take a look. If he's satisfied with it, we'll buy it."

The shop assistant smiled and replied, "Alright." This kind of situation was not uncommon — many interested customers were defeated in the end by this astronomical price, but many of them would still leave this request behind. Unfortunately, none of them had ever returned to purchase the sword.

"What does the beauty want? Perhaps I can be of assistance." Right at this moment, a voice rang out from behind Luo Lang.

Luo Lang instantly frowned. He turned his head and saw a young man with a rather flirty expression on his face smiling at him. It was the team leader of the team from the Second Men's Military Academy, Jiang Shaoyu.

Luo Lang's brow furrowed, a trace of anger passing swiftly through his eyes. If Boss had not cautioned him not to cause trouble, he definitely would have taught the other a lesson then and there. Luo Lang could tell from the other's actions that this was definitely yet another person who had taken a liking to his looks.

Luo Lang glared scathingly at Jiang Shaoyu and made a move to leave, planning to bring Boss over to buy Firmament. He was just passing by Jiang Shaoyu when Jiang Shaoyu actually reached out his right hand all of a sudden to try and grab Luo Lang's right wrist.

With a slide step, Luo Lang evaded the other's lecherous hand 1 , glared at him, and said, "What are you trying to do?"

Zhao Jun had also figured out that the other did not have any good intentions. He took a brisk step forwards to stand beside Luo Lang, glaring coldly at Jiang Shaoyu. Zhao Jun's move was a signal for the boys behind Jiang Shaoyu to come closer as well, and they quickly surrounded Luo Lang and Zhao Jun.

"What? You want a fight?" Zhao Jun was furious and looked like he was going to charge forwards and brawl if things deteriorated any further. This was perfectly in line with his burly and irritable public image.

A mocking smirk hung on Jiang Shaoyu's lips. This kind of muscle-headed, simple-minded person was nothing to worry about. He sent a glance at the team member beside him who immediately understood what he wanted. That team member led six people to push closer towards Zhao Jun, attempting to separate Zhao Jun from Luo Lang.

Seeing this, Zhao Jun did not hesitate to meet them, and in the back and forth of battle, he was unwittingly drawn away from Luo Lang's side.

Luo Lang was extremely surprised that Zhao Jun had been successfully drawn away. Even though Zhao Jun had not joined Lingtian for more than half a year, Luo Lang, who trained with him very often, knew that this fellow was not that simple. If you really took him for a brawny hot-tempered simpleton, you would definitely die cluelessly by the other's hand ... that fellow was really very black-bellied.

Sure enough, when Luo Lang glanced at Zhao Jun, he caught a quick surreptitious look in return from the latter. With that, Luo Lang knew that the fellow had to be plotting something and so did not bother worrying about him any further.

Having gotten rid of the person in his way, Jiang Shaoyu was in a good mood. He consoled Luo Lang with a bright smile, saying, "Little beauty, don't be mad. Your big brother here just wants to be friends with you 2 ."

Jiang Shaoyu's sudden politeness was definitely not because he had suddenly had a fit of conscience and was planning to let Luo Lang go. Rather, compared to that delicate and bashful look of Luo Chao's, Luo Lang's face was currently flushed red from anger and his eyes were blazing as well, making him shine radiantly. Luo Lang looked just like a proud blooming red rose, stealing Jiang Shaoyu's breath away.

His heart was beating wildly — even a veteran playboy like him could not resist that soul-stealing allure of Luo Lang's, and he found himself drunk on it. Though he had initially only had plans to fool around with the other, for the first time, he had the desire to chain the other within his embrace forever. He wished for this dazzling woman before him to only bloom before him.

"Be friends?" The corners of Luo Lang's lips turned up slightly, a trace of killing intent seeping out from his narrowed eyes. Luo Lang most hated people whose hearts turned ugly due to his face.

"Yes, as long as you give this elder brother a chance, I will definitely satisfy you." Perhaps Jiang Shaoyu had been mesmerized by Luo Lang's appearance, for he actually did not notice Luo Lang's swelling rage that was about to blow or his uncontrollable killing intent. He even spoke up once more to tease the other, his words somewhat unclean and lewd. Done speaking, he fearlessly stepped forwards and reached out his right hand again, trying to touch Luo Lang's pert face to sample the other's soft tofu.

"How dare you!" Pushed beyond the boundaries of tolerance, Luo Lang finally acted. His right fist shot out at Jiang Shaoyu's face, charged with the strength of the peak level of early stage Qi-Jin.

Jiang Shaoyu was the number one of the Second Men's Military Academy, after all, so he was able to react instantly to Luo Lang's sudden outburst. His lecherous right hand changed directions midway to meet Luo Lang's angry fist.

A loud 'boom' rang out! Two powerful hidden forces clashed head to head. Due to the powerful concussive force generated by the clash, the surrounding people found themselves unable to keep their footing. Those people surrounding Zhao Jun were forced by the pressure of these two hidden forces to take several steps back, distancing themselves from Luo Lang and Jiang Shaoyu. Meanwhile, when he felt the powerful concussive force, Zhao Jun's eyes flickered. Then, he pretended like he too was unable to bear the force and stumbled back several steps along with Jiang Shaoyu's men.

Luo Lang and Jiang Shaoyu forcefully exchanged blows, and the two of them wavered simultaneously, though their feet remained planted firmly on the ground. Luo Lang's brow furrowed — he had not expected this person before him to have equally strong physical skills as himself, and the other may perhaps even be a little better. It should be known that he had been the one to initiate the attack while the other had only reacted hastily to block it, yet the outcome was a draw ... this made Luo Lang cautious; he could not flip his boat in the gutter once again. Last year, he had fallen for another's schemes and that experience had been lesson enough for Luo Lang.

"Qi-Jin stage?!" Jiang Shaoyu's smile had faded as well. He could never have imagined that a girl he had inadvertently taken a shine to would have such strong physical skills, completely inconsistent with her soft and gentle appearance.

"Aren't you the same?" Luo Lang smiled grimly but did not continue to attack. Instead, he swept a swift glance around the store to see whether the opponent still had any hidden tricks lying in wait.

Right then, there were not many people in the store anymore. Luo Lang and Jiang Shaoyu's exchange and the resulting concussive wave had shown that the people in the store that these two were definitely masters at Qi-Jin stage. In order to avoid being injured in the crossfire, the customers in the store had all run out. Other than those people who had come with Jiang Shaoyu, those who still dared to remain behind were all those who were very confident in themselves, masters in their own right. As for the staff of the store, they had long hidden themselves away from the fight.

The reason why no one had stepped up to discourage the fighting was that all the merchandise of the store were already being protected by protective covers. Unless the combatants hit a cover directly, the shockwaves alone would not damage the items.

"How interesting. Who would have guessed that the girl I fancy would actually turn out to be a Qi-Jin master." Jiang Shaoyu licked his lips in excitement, growing ever more interested in Luo Lang. Thinking about it, he had never fooled around with a Qi-Jin stage woman before ... the more he thought about the prospect, the more excited he became.

"Girl?" Luo Lang was stunned for a moment, but he was soon so angry that his pert face was bright red. He had initially thought the other was bent and had only been attracted by his face — he had not expected that the other had completely mistaken him for a girl. Wasn't this just another way of saying that he, Luo Lang, was like a girl? It was definitely an insult to him.

Livid, the momentum of Luo Lang's peak early stage Qi-Jin was finally unleashed in its full glory. Being the closest to him, Jiang Shaoyu's face could not help but change. He had never expected Luo Lang's force of presence to be this strong ...

Jiang Shaoyu's gaze flickered and then he suddenly shouted, "All together now!" And then, he was the first to leap at Luo Lang. When he attacked this time, not only was Jiang Shaoyu using his full strength, he was also being extremely ruthless. He needed to take this girl away with him before the law enforcement team of the marketplace arrived on the scene; otherwise, he would need to wait for another chance to obtain the other. And now that the other had already suffered this encounter, she would probably stay cloistered within her school's accommodation area until the end of the tournament. In the accommodation areas, surveillance was very tight, so it would be impossible for him to act.

Of course, he was not afraid of being too harsh in his attack and harming the other too much — a Qi-Jin stage master had extremely high endurance and resilience. At the same time, their recovery ability was also extremely robust, and with the addition of current technology, as long as the other still had a breath left within them, it would be possible to save them.

Perhaps Jiang Shaoyu's members had constantly been involved in this sort of shenanigans, for when Jiang Shaoyu gave the order, none of them hesitated at all. Even those who had been keeping Zhao Jun busy turned to leap at Luo Lang as well, planning to strike him down and cart him away.

"Bam, bam, bam!" Those men leaping towards Luo Lang were suddenly smacked onto the ground. Those close by turned around to look and found that Zhao Jun, whom they had neglected, was standing over the men. He had efficiently struck them down within the span of several seconds.

Jiang Shaoyu and Luo Lang once again engaged in battle. This time, the two of them were unable to retain their footing. Both of them stumbled back several steps, though Luo Lang had to retreat three steps more than Jiang Shaoyu. This proved that Jiang Shaoyu was stronger than Luo Lang.

"Early stage advanced level Qi-Jin." Luo Lang swallowed, trying to calm the roiling qi and blood in his chest. He stared at the other darkly — the opponent was several realms higher than himself; he was completely suppressed by the other.

Jiang Shaoyu did not respond but instead looked towards Zhao Jun, who was not too far from them, with a shadowed expression. "Qi-Jin? I did not expect your companion to be this strong. He seems a little bit stronger than you." His members were basically all at the peak of Refinement, just one step away from entering Qi-Jin. For him to defeat them so readily, Zhao Jun had to be at Qi-Jin stage, and the ease with which he did so made Jiang Shaoyu reckon that he must already be at the middle stages of Qi-Jin. The only question was which minor ranking he was at.

At these words, Luo Lang answered proudly, "As my teammate, being strong is a must."

Jiang Shaoyu's heart sank. The other's assured demeanour showed that she was not lying. He did not expect this hulking fellow beside Luo Chao 3 to not be her escort but a teammate from the same battle clan. From this, it could be predicted that her other teammates would definitely be not much weaker either. If her teammates managed to rush over here in time ...
