Chapter 33: Tang Xiao is a Human Camera

Tang Xiao’s heart trembled slightly.

He glanced around, and the other elderly residents were engrossed in their own activities, not paying attention to what was being said here.

He looked at Sun Sheng, who was smiling, but Tang Xiao could truly sense a chill from his words.

This old man might have really killed someone!

But Tang Xiao pretended to be nonchalant: “We live in a society governed by law. How could I learn to kill?”

Sun Sheng shook his head: “Learning to kill doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll actually go out and do it; it can also prevent you from being killed. It’s just a skill, a craft, isn’t it?

Besides, if someone wants to kill you, can the law protect you in that minute? At that moment, it’s just you protecting yourself.

Killing is the strongest combat technique in this world. If you can kill, isn’t fighting easier? It’s like going to college; the content from elementary school becomes very simple.”

Tang Xiao fell silent. Sun Sheng seemed to be speaking nonsense, his views skewed.

But in terms of real-world logic, it was hard to find fault.

Tang Xiao looked at Sun Sheng: “Have you killed someone?”

“Guess?” Sun Sheng replied with a smile, seemingly unafraid.

“Aren’t you worried I’ll report you?” Tang Xiao asked again.

Sun Sheng: “I am, but I don’t think you will, because from the first moment I saw you, I thought you were quite strange.

You’re clearly young, yet you give me a sense of ruthlessness that comes from living on the edge of death. This kind of ruthlessness only exists in those who have faced death. You’re a very obsessive person, wanting to have power in your own hands.”

Sun Sheng had experienced death many times.

He had this kind of aura; only those with such an aura understand what it truly is.

Many people have faced death, but they often become timid and live in fear for the rest of their lives.

Those who bloom with strength in the face of death, who live fiercely, are the true ruthless and strong individuals.

He unexpectedly saw this kind of aura in Tang Xiao.

Incredible.

The problem was that this young man was only eighteen years old, and he often treated the elderly and dispensed medicine.

This was too contradictory.

Tang Xiao found Sun Sheng mysterious, and Sun Sheng felt the same about Tang Xiao.

Little did he know that Tang Xiao had truly faced death.

It was real death, not survival, but actual death.

Moreover, it was caused by someone he had devoted himself to wholeheartedly.

A complete annihilation of body and soul.

Rebirth brought Tang Xiao not only memory and speed reading but also a mindset.

It was a fierce mentality of living on the edge of death.

To those who were good to him, he would repay with gratitude!

To those who were bad to him, he would crush them to dust!

As for the killing that Sun Sheng mentioned, Tang Xiao was indeed interested.

His extraordinary memory allowed him to learn many things.

But some things cannot be learned through normal means.

For example, killing.

Tang Xiao honestly said, “But I’m not completely confident about your illness; if I’m not careful, I might end up killing you.”

Sun Sheng didn’t care: “Dying is better than sitting in a wheelchair.”

This was Sun Sheng’s strange value system.

For him, being in a wheelchair was far too painful, worse than death.

He wanted to seize any opportunity that came his way.

Even if that opportunity came from a young man who was under twenty.

No matter how absurd it seemed, Tang Xiao had accurately diagnosed his illness.

Sun Sheng was inherently a rebellious person; he wanted to take a gamble.

Moreover, he found this young man, Tang Xiao, to be genuinely interesting.

“Alright, let me take another look at your leg,” Tang Xiao said as he stepped forward to squeeze Sun Sheng’s leg.

Tang Xiao’s words meant that they had struck a deal.

He was intrigued by the skill of killing.

The incident from yesterday, where Tang Yuan had used her power to humiliate him, was still fresh in his mind.

He was too weak, and the Tang family was too strong.

With just a few words, Tang Yuan had nearly caused his death.

This made Tang Xiao crave more power, even if it was outside the rules.

Sun Sheng laughed heartily: “Then thank you, Doctor Tang.”

Tang Xiao looked at Sun Sheng with a suspicious gaze: “But I’m a bit curious, won’t the police come to arrest you? I’m still young, I don’t want to go in with you.”

Sun Sheng was both amused and exasperated: “Enough already. My experiences are all international matters, beneficial to the country, not harmful. Otherwise, could I be living comfortably in retirement here?

And let me tell you, the government of Xia Country has a pretty good relationship with me.”

“Keep dreaming,” Tang Xiao replied skeptically.

“Hey! I’m telling you, I have a nickname internationally; they call me the King of Soldiers.”

“Grandpa Sun, stop reading novels now that you’re paralyzed; there’s no cure for your delusions. Lift your legs up higher; I want to see your glute muscles.”

Tang Xiao and Sun Sheng exchanged banter.

It was strange; despite this being their first meeting, they got along quite well.

Perhaps it was because both of them were rebellious individuals.

…

At night,

The moon was bright and the stars sparse.

On the mountain behind the nursing home, there were three people.

Tang Xiao was practicing with a man in his thirties, while Sun Sheng sat in his wheelchair watching.

The burly man was muscular and strong.

Tang Xiao had learned street fighting from Gu Xiaoxi, and ordinary people couldn’t compete with him.

But Tang Xiao was no match for this man at all.

Three minutes later.

The burly man found an opening, grabbed Tang Xiao’s hand, and effortlessly threw him over his shoulder.

Thud!

Tang Xiao lay on the ground, gritting his teeth in pain: “Grandpa Sun, did you have to start with such a high difficulty level? This guy is too strong.”

Sun Sheng nodded: “You’ve practiced street fighting, which is enough to deal with ordinary people, but it doesn’t work against experts.

You can’t expect to only encounter ordinary people. Wang Biao’s strength is decent; he’s good for you to practice against.”

Wang Biao was the burly man whom Sun Sheng had brought in.

“Brother Biao is more than decent; he’s incredibly strong,” Tang Xiao said.

However, Tang Xiao felt somewhat reassured.

Sun Sheng was able to find someone, which indicated that his status in the country was indeed legitimate.

Wang Biao felt a shiver at Tang Xiao’s complaints: how dare this kid talk to Elder Sun like that? Doesn’t he fear for his life?

Wang Biao knew just how terrifying a person Elder Sun was!

Sun Sheng asked, “How much did you learn from your exchange with Wang Biao just now?”

Tang Xiao stood up and began to recall.

“It seemed like it was done this way…”

As Tang Xiao recalled, he demonstrated all of Wang Biao’s movements perfectly.

Although some movements lacked power and speed, they were indeed identical.

This left both Sun Sheng and Wang Biao dumbfounded.

“You… can remember all the movements? Wang Biao is a fast punch expert; his movements are so quick. You can remember all that?” Sun Sheng asked.

Tang Xiao nodded: “I can remember everything. Even though my body can’t keep up, my eyes can see clearly.”

Sun Sheng said: “Alright, Wang Biao, you and Tang Xiao go at it again.”

“Okay!”

Wang Biao was skeptical.

Could this kid really be that impressive?

Wang Biao had trained in fast punching for over ten years; he didn’t believe this kid could remember everything after just one round.

This time, in less than a minute, Tang Xiao was taken down again.

Because Wang Biao’s movements were even faster.

After resting for a while, Tang Xiao got back up and repeated the entire combat process once more.

Wang Biao was stunned again: “How… is this possible?”

Sun Sheng’s eyes lit up: “Incredible movement recall and dynamic vision; you’re like a human camera!”

Fighting is different from other sports; it’s not just about brute strength.

Fighting requires the most brainpower.

In the realm of combat,

Movement recall gives you stronger adaptability,

And good dynamic vision allows you to see others’ movements clearly, enabling you to react better and faster; the benefits are obvious.

Tang Xiao’s abilities in these areas were simply outrageous!
