Chapter 103 Trump Card! Ironclad Martial Arts School!
Su Yu's gaze fell on the White Ape Six Transformations stance training. The "Mind Ape Clarity" trait he gained from breaking through the limit once before greatly compensated for his poor physical constitution, allowing him to improve his martial arts progress significantly.
However, just as he was about to add points, he suddenly discovered that he couldn't!
A new prompt appeared before me.
[The White Ape's Six Transformations has broken its limit again, requiring 2 breakthrough points.]
"Hiss!"
"We definitely need more points to break the limit!"
Su Yu was slightly disappointed, but quickly calmed down.
"Let's see what we can add."
He tried out each of the perfect martial arts and skills on the panel.
[The Net Casting Technique can be upgraded four times, requiring 2 upgrade points.]
[The martial arts skill "Coin Toss" requires 1 breakthrough point to break the limit once.]
"Even the limit-breaking points for the net-casting skill have increased. It looks like the only way to break the limit now is by throwing money."
However, Su Yu hesitated, wondering whether to immediately break the limit with the Money Throw or save up some more and wait until he had enough for 2 points to break the limit with the White Ape Six Transformations again.
"I need to break through my limits first. I exposed all my strength during the martial arts exam, and I've also made enemies with Sun Yan and the Ironclad Martial Arts School behind him. I need to increase my strength quickly!"
The saying "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" perfectly illustrates this point.
Moreover, I now have a lot of money, and by consuming large amounts of treasure fish and exotic beast meat, the accumulation of limit-breaking points will definitely accelerate. When I accumulate 2 points at once, the difficulty will be much lower.
After figuring it out, Su Yu no longer hesitated and started adding points by tossing coins!
boom!
A golden storm seemed to explode in my mind.
Countless insights into finger strength, swirling energy, and airflow flooded in like a tidal wave.
In a daze, Su Yu seemed to see himself training day and night in the wilderness, facing a giant, armored rhinoceros with thick hide. Ordinary flying stones shattered instantly upon hitting it, until one day, he flicked his fingertips, creating an afterimage, and a flying stone, carrying a terrifying spiraling force, pierced into the rhinoceros's armor—
The next moment, the panel in front of me changed.
[Successfully broke the limit with a single throw of coins, awakening the special ability, Spiral Armor Break]
[Martial Arts]: Money Throw (Limited Time Only, 1 Use) (Trait: Spiral Armor Break)
【Spiral Armor Break】: When your spiral force is pushed to its limit, the moment the hidden weapon touches the target, it generates terrifying penetrating and tearing force.
Su Yu opened his eyes and took out a heavy water tungsten coin from the deerskin pouch.
With a light flick of the fingertips, the tungsten coin spun rapidly in the palm of the hand, emitting a hissing sound as if even the air itself was being torn apart.
"So the Spiral Force can be upgraded to an even higher level! In this way, its armor-piercing power is simply domineering."
"If I were to combine the heavy water tungsten gold with this spiral armor-piercing weapon and face Sun Shi, I could probably kill him with a single blow!"
"That so-called Iron Armor Technique is nothing but paper!"
"This money throw can definitely be my trump card right now! Even against a master with two acupoints, unless they specialize in hard skills like Iron Armor Technique, I could probably seriously injure them with a single blow!"
Thinking of this, Su Yu regained his confidence.
The difference between acupoints is enormous, and now that I have the strength to kill enemies of a higher level, I can be considered to have entered the ranks of true geniuses.
Su Yu was somewhat tempted to give it a try, but with so many people and eyes around in the White Ape Martial Arts Hall, and no suitable target to test his skills against, he had no choice but to suppress his thoughts for the time being.
"Junior Brother Su, Master Qin is looking for you!"
Just then, a shout came from outside the door.
"Okay, I understand, senior brother."
Su Yu responded, straightened his clothes, and headed to the tea room where Master Qin was.
Tea room in the inner courtyard.
Qin Fangqiong still had that lazy look, but this time she wasn't gnawing on chicken feet; instead, she was savoring her tea.
Upon seeing Su Yu, a look of satisfaction flashed in Qin Shi's eyes.
"Very good. I heard that you have not changed at all since you passed the martial arts exam and are still focused on practicing martial arts. This is the true heart of martial arts."
Hearing Master Qin's praise, Su Yu calmly replied, "Master, you flatter me. I am well aware of the difficulties of martial arts, and my own talent and aptitude are not good. Only by focusing on martial arts and practicing diligently can I climb higher!"
"Okay, okay!"
Master Qin couldn't help but say "good" three times in a row, feeling increasingly satisfied with his disciple.
With a heart-shaped face and excellent comprehension, he takes his martial arts path step by step, without being impatient or impetuous.
With such talent, how could they not have a bright future?
How come I didn't discover such a talented person before?
It must be that Xu and Lin deliberately deceived and concealed this from their master, otherwise, with my discerning eye, I would have already taken Su Yu as my personal disciple!
"Have some tea. I have another matter to discuss with you, namely the follow-up to Sun Shi of the Ironclad Martial Arts School."
Su Yu took a sip of tea, his gaze sharpening as he looked at Master Qin.
"Don't worry, it's a good thing. Sun Shi's sneak attack on you after the competition was a big mistake. There are still rules to follow in Blackstone City these days." Qin Shi smiled as he saw Su Yu's expression and explained.
"Although the Ironclad Martial Arts School is powerful, and many of its disciples are in the Black Market Army, the Black Stone Army ultimately made a fair judgment. Sun Shi's post-match attack violated the martial arts examination rules, and all his results were canceled. He should have received more severe punishment, but since he's already gone, it doesn't count. As for Sun Yan, he attacked you in public after the competition, and he will also be punished accordingly."
"His second-place finish in the martial arts competition only includes his ranking, the Blackstone Body Tempering Technique, and a spot to enter the inner city! In addition, he will have to serve in the Blackstone Army for one year!"
"As for the others, those from our White Ape Martial Arts School and Ironclad Martial Arts School who made a move were only given a symbolic fine of ten taels of silver."
Su Yu nodded, realizing that this outcome was probably only achieved through Qin Shi's intervention.
Ultimately, this world is ruled by martial arts strength, and so-called rules are merely used to restrain the weak.
If I were just a nobody martial artist with no background, I probably would have been killed by Sun Yan on the spot!
What's the point of following the rules when the person is already dead?
Conversely, the matter of killing Sun Shi could only be left unresolved. After all, how could the dead Sun Shi compare to his own potential?
Therefore, it goes without saying that he has not punished himself at all.
"However, once the martial arts examination is over, the Black Stone Army and the three major families will no longer be involved in any subsequent matters. Do you understand?" At this point, Master Qin's expression turned serious as he looked at Su Yu.
"Disciple understands. I will handle Sun Yan's situation myself! But as for the Ironclad Martial Arts School—"
"Haha, good! You have guts! No wonder you're my personal disciple!" Master Qin laughed heartily, exclaiming with pride, "Don't worry about the Ironclad Martial Arts School. As long as I'm here, they won't dare bully us! At most, they'll try some minor tricks to suppress our White Ape Martial Arts School! As for Sun Yan, you don't need to worry too much. That kid is quite badly injured and won't recover for six months. After he recovers, he'll join the Black Stone Army and won't have the energy to cause you trouble for a while!"
"During this time, focus all your efforts on cultivation and find ways to improve your strength. Also, report to the enforcement team tomorrow. Be careful when you're on missions outside the city. The world is in chaos these days; who knows what kind of monsters or demons might appear out of nowhere. Caution is paramount."
Faced with Master Qin's entrustment, Su Yu felt a warmth in his heart.
"Thank you, Master. I will certainly dedicate myself to cultivation and improve my strength!"
"Hmm, these are the pills I cultivated this month: ten Black Scale Blood Aperture Pills."
"Thank you for your generous gift, Master!" Su Yu respectfully accepted the porcelain bottle handed to him by Master Qin.
"Go."
Su Yu clasped his hands in a salute again, then turned and left.
After leaving Qin Shi's room, Su Yu did not feel too relaxed.
Although Sun Yan is injured, it's uncertain whether he will really take half a year to recover.
He must hate me to the core for killing his brother, and it's entirely possible that he might suddenly turn on me again someday.
If it were me, I could use the injury as an excuse to find an opportunity to strike the enemy. This way, I could use the injury to cover up my actions and show that I wasn't the one who did it, thus avoiding any trouble afterward.
"Strength, strength is everything! Within six months, I must break through to the second or even third acupoint. Only then can I cope with more crises!"
Having made up his mind, Su Yu strode towards the Su residence!
