Chapter 90 Celebration! Top 20!
At the Songhe Martial Arts School, the junior sister in the yellow dress helped her senior brother down from the arena with a heavy heart. Tears streamed down her face. "Senior brother actually lost and didn't make it into the enforcement team—that Su Yu is so annoying! How could senior brother possibly lose to him!" Her voice was loud and carried to Su Yu and the others.
Yang Ai was immediately displeased upon hearing this. Her eyebrows shot up and she was about to rush forward to argue, but Yang Zhen grabbed her and gently shook her head.
"Ahem—Junior Sister, watch your words!" Liu Yansong quickly covered his junior sister's mouth.
He had just fought Su Yu and knew how terrifying the other's strength was. Such a person was no ordinary person; he was destined to soar to great heights in the future. Songhe Martial Arts School couldn't afford to offend him.
"Alright! A loss is a loss! Help your senior brother down to rest first."
Huang Jin, the master of Songhe Martial Arts School, strode over. Although he was over fifty years old, his steps were steady and his aura was hidden, clearly indicating that he was a master of the Tendon Forging Realm.
He glanced at his apprentice and sighed inwardly. Now, having lost the competition and forfeited his spot in the enforcement team, he had truly missed a great opportunity.
His gaze then shifted to the composed young man on the other side.
In the battle just now, this young man's swordsmanship combined both strength and gentleness, clearly indicating that he still had some strength left to spare.
Huang Jin secretly praised him, then put on a warm smile, strode forward and clasped his hands in greeting: "Young Master Su, I am Huang Jin, the master of Songhe Martial Arts School."
Su Yu immediately returned the greeting, "Greetings, Master Huang."
He knew that Master Huang, who was capable of leading a school, must be quite powerful.
"Young Master Su is truly a young hero," Huang Jin exclaimed. "My apprentice is no match for him and accepts defeat wholeheartedly. Please forgive my daughter's offensive words just now."
As he spoke, he took out an exquisite porcelain bottle from his pocket and handed it over: "This is a Black Scale Blood Aperture Pill, which will be helpful to your daily cultivation. Please accept it. If you have any free time in the future, Young Master Su, you might as well come and visit my Songhe Martial Arts School. My disciple and you became acquainted through a fight."
Black Scale Blood Aperture Pill!
Su Yu's heart stirred. Each pill was worth several tens of taels of silver, which was exactly what he needed for cultivation after each acupoint ...
"Master Huang, you're too kind. I'll definitely pay you a visit in the future," Su Yu said with a smile, accepting the gift.
Back in the White Ape Martial Arts School group, the atmosphere immediately became lively.
"Haha! Junior brother, you've been hiding your true strength!" Jiang Liuchuan waved his feather fan, put his arm around Su Yu's shoulder, and couldn't help but tease him.
"My judgment was spot on! Investing in you back then was a brilliant decision. Now that you're successful, I'll be able to roam freely in the outer city!"
Jiang Liuchuan didn't say any polite words at this moment; he was extremely surprised by Su Yu.
After a period of time without seeing Su Yu, his strength had improved significantly.
-
This time, I gave myself a big surprise!
Moreover, Su Yu is now his master's personal disciple, and they are truly bound together by fate, sharing both glory and loss.
However, Junior Brother Su's strength has improved far too quickly. If this continues, he'll probably surpass me soon.
Sigh, I can't be lazy anymore. I must go back and practice martial arts properly from now on!
Otherwise, I, as the senior brother, would lose face!
As soon as Jiang Liuchuan released Su Yu, Yang Ai pounced on him like a little butterfly.
"Brother Su————"
However, before she could get close, a voluptuous figure blocked her way.
Lin Wanzhu smiled, but she just happened to separate the two of them: "Junior Brother Su, you did a good job. Come with me to see Master and tell him the good news."
"Yes, Senior Sister." Su Yu didn't notice anything amiss.
The two walked away into the distance, one after the other.
Yang Ai was immediately annoyed. Why did Senior Sister Lin always appear at such the right time?
Yang Zhen, standing behind him, seemed to be deep in thought, his gaze shifting back and forth between Lin Wanzhu's voluptuous figure and Su Yu.
Could it be that Senior Sister Lin and Brother Su are having an affair?
That's impossible! Senior Sister Lin has already reached the Body Refining Realm. The husband she'll marry in the future will at least be a Body Refining Realm expert!
However, Brother Su is young and promising, with a bright future ahead of him. Perhaps Senior Sister Lin just has a good impression of him and has high expectations for him.
In the distance, at the edge of the crowd.
Jiang Mu had just lifted her foot when she saw Su Yu and the martial arts school's senior sister leave together. She immediately stopped, and her excitement turned into a deep sense of loss.
Behind her, Old Man Jiang was so angry that he yanked off a handful of his beard, looking at his granddaughter with a mixture of disappointment and frustration.
Lu Qu, standing to the side, sighed, "I never imagined that the fisherman's boy you casually introduced back then would now be so famous in Blackrock City! It's all thanks to the token I gave him back then that we maintained this connection."
"I had high hopes for Su from the beginning, thinking he had a bright future, but I never expected him to be this amazing. It hasn't been long, and he's already defeated Liu Yansong from the Songhe Martial Arts School! Now he's in the top two of the martial arts examination, and he'll be joining the enforcement team. Mu'er can't even dream of reaching his level anymore—"
Hearing this, Jiang Mu suppressed her grief, bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes, but she couldn't hold them back and they fell down in a steady stream.
Old Lu felt a pang of heartache at the sight. Given Mu Ya's usually mischievous and clever nature, she would never have acted like this before.
This love and romance is truly torturous.
However, he knew what Old Man Jiang meant by saying that; he simply wanted to make Mu Yatou give up all hope.
Evening, at the Zhenxiulou Restaurant.
The lights were on full display, and toasts were exchanged.
Qin Fangqiong was in high spirits today, her face glowing. She raised her glass and laughed heartily: "Great! In today's first battle, Chen Fan and Su Yu both won! I am very pleased!"
Come on, let's do it!
Everyone raised their glasses and drank them down in one gulp.
After a few drinks, Qin Fangqiong put down her chopsticks, her expression becoming serious again. "Once you enter the second round, it's a battle for the top ten. If you win another match tomorrow, you'll be the squad leader of the enforcement team!"
He paused, his gaze sweeping over Chen Fan and Su Yu, before dropping another bombshell: "Furthermore, I've just received news that the rewards for this martial arts examination have been increased once again!"
All eyes immediately turned to them.
After speaking, Qin Fangqiong looked at Jiang Liuchuan, signaling him to tell his fellow disciples.
Jiang Liuchuan immediately smiled and said, "This was personally decided by Commander Pang of the Black Stone Army. In order to cope with the increasingly severe situation, the top ten will each be awarded an additional superior martial arts technique!"
"If we can make it into the top five—" Jiang Liuchuan's expression also turned serious, and he said, enunciating each word clearly, "The reward will be the Black Stone Army's ultimate military skill, the Black Stone Body Tempering Technique!"
"hiss--!"
Upon hearing this, a collective gasp of astonishment erupted at the banquet.
"It's actually the Black Stone Body Tempering Technique!"
"That's a legendary technique that the Black Stone Army never reveals to outsiders! It's said that once mastered, one's body becomes like a black prison, impervious to blades and spears, possessing boundless strength, and virtually invincible among those of the same cultivation level!"
Seeing that Junior Brother Su and the others had never heard of this technique before, Jiang Liuchuan continued to explain: "As everyone knows, the martial arts we practice, whether they are inferior or superior, are all mortal-level martial arts, while the higher-level ones are these profound-level martial arts!"
"The power of Xuan-rank martial arts far surpasses that of ordinary martial arts. Take the Nine Revolutions Iron Armor Technique from the Iron Armor Martial Arts School as an example; it's already very close to the category of Xuan-rank martial arts. Sun Yan, having only reached the third revolution, is already terrifyingly strong! And this Black Stone Body Forging Technique is even stronger than the Iron Armor Technique at the same level!"
"So, if you can make it into the top five, junior brothers, you two absolutely have to give it your all!"
Su Yu and Chen Fan's breathing became rapid at the same time.
Mysterious-rank martial arts!
In this outer city where mortal-level martial arts are like family heirlooms, profound-level martial arts represent the key to a higher realm!
"We must take it!"
Su Yu gripped the wine glass in his hand tightly. He was now quite powerful in combat, but his physical training was clearly insufficient.
Especially after witnessing Sun Shi's formidable Iron Armor Skill, he had always wanted to learn a body-refining technique.
Now is the time!
The next morning, at the martial arts training ground.
Today is the crucial battle to determine the top ten, and the atmosphere is even more tense and solemn than yesterday.
Su Yu and Chen Fan stood side by side in front of the drawing table.
The results were announced soon.
"Group C, Match 3: Su Yu vs. Cheng Yan!"
"Group B, Match 3: Chen Fan vs. Zhou Heng!"
Upon seeing this result, the expressions of everyone at the White Ape Martial Arts School changed simultaneously.
"This is troublesome."
Jiang Liuchuan's expression was solemn as he said in a deep voice, "Cheng Yan is the young master of the Cheng family in the east of the city, a genius with no shortage of resources. He has been accumulating experience in the acupoints for a long time. What's most troublesome is his family's Youyun Step, a movement technique that is unpredictable and strange, known as the fastest in the outer city! It has consistently ranked in the top ten on the Thousand Machine Tower's list of geniuses!"
"Although the Spirit Ape Demon-Subduing Blade is powerful, it is easy to be unable to use its strength against a master of agility like this."
-
Qin Fangqiong also looked serious, but he was more worried about Chen Fan.
"Zhou Heng————"
Qin Yu gritted her teeth and muttered, "The genius disciple of the Shattered Bone Martial Arts School!"
"This person also possesses superior talent and is ruthless. He cultivates the Shattering Bone Fist and Shattering Bone Mad Blade techniques of the Shattering Bone Martial Arts School, and ranks seventh on the Prodigy Ranking, even higher than Junior Brother Chen!"
"This is truly a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road!"
The White Ape Martial Arts School and the Shattered Bone Martial Arts School have always been rivals, and the two schools harbor deep hatred for each other.
Previously, when the senior brother Qi Linfeng challenged the martial arts school, he was defeated and injured by Zhou Mo of the Broken Bone Martial Arts School, and it took him more than half a year to recover.
