Chapter 133 - 130: The Western Ultimate Hooked Chen Finally Reveals Himself
Lu Dongbin transmitted the swordsmanship to Liu Xuande in a dream, but Liu Xuande possessed such poor aptitude that he nearly drove Ancestor Lu to the brink of madness.
Lu Dongbin, being the leader of the Eight Immortals of the Upper Caverns, and in his previous life, Donghua the Great Emperor, held considerable status within the Daoist sect. He had many disciples, each with exceptional talents. The Complete Truth Sect that he established in the mortal world was also full of talented individuals. Where had he ever encountered someone as dull as Liu Bei? Actually, it was not that Liu Bei was unintelligent; after all, everyone has their own expertise. It was simply that martial arts were not Liu Bei’s strength, and it was useless to force it. When it came to crying, however, he was extremely formidable—he had wept his way to an entire realm.
The four of them left the village and entered the county town to look for Zhang Fei, who was attending to the Peach Garden.
Daoist Equal to Heaven laughed and said, "Yang, I’ve divined that this man is indeed Liu Bei’s Right Assistant. His martial arts education will be up to you!"
After looking at Zhang Fei, Yang Jian commented, "This man has the head of a leopard and the eyes of a tiger, a truly fierce appearance. Let’s just hope he’s not all show and no substance, like a straw bag."
Daoist Equal to Heaven still sent the Sleepy Insect out, causing Zhang Fei to fall asleep under a peach tree. Yang Jian then sat down cross-legged and entered his dream.
Shortly, Zhang Fei got up from the ground, brandishing a broom and swinging it through the air, creating a mighty wind and a formidable presence. He was countless times stronger than Liu Bei!
Unable to help himself, Lu Dongbin exclaimed, "This Zhang Fei does have potential. Look at how well he’s practicing that spear technique, a hundred times better than that Big-Eared Thief!"
Ancestor Chen Tuan laughed until his stomach ached and said, "My friend, don’t be angry, don’t be angry! They say that a great teacher produces outstanding students, but I’m afraid even if Laojun himself were teaching, Liu Bei would still be the same. Besides, no one would expect you to be his ’great teacher’!"
As he spoke, Ancestor Chen Tuan was winking and obviously ribbing Lu Chunyang intentionally, infuriating him enough to shoot flames of Samadhi fire from his nose.
"None of you had better say that Liu Bei learned the swordsmanship of the Complete Truth lineage from me, or else..." Lu Dongbin said between clenched teeth.
