Chapter 75 Gambling Battle
Su Yu had already realized that what he held in his hands was just some dirt. With a slight exertion of force, he easily pushed the flailing Lin Xiaotian back as if he were pushing away a ball of cotton.
"Good lad! You're actually not afraid of Lord Lin Xiaotian's dog-shit turtle punches? What's your name?"
Su Yu pretended not to hear, put away a few changes of clothes, turned around, picked up Mo Yuan, and walked straight to the training ground outside the door.
There are still several hours left today, so naturally we cannot neglect the practice of the White Ape Fist.
With only one month left until the martial arts examination, I must break through one of my acupoints before then!
"Hey! Are you mute?"
Seeing that he was being ignored, Lin Xiaotian got angry and started yelling. He stuck to Su Yu like a little tail, muttering incessantly.
However, the kid didn't do anything out of line, so Su Yu ignored him.
In a corner of the training ground, Su Yu stood still, assuming the stance of the White Ape Fist.
As Qi and blood circulate, the tendons and muscles crack and pop.
Seeing that Su Yu was engrossed in his practice, Lin Xiaotian's eyes lit up, and he wanted to rush over and cause trouble again.
Su Yu frowned slightly, flicked his toes, and a dry branch fell into his hand.
"Snapped!"
With a flick of his wrist, the branch lashed out like a soft whip, striking Lin Xiaotian's buttocks precisely.
"Wow!"
Lin Xiaotian froze for a moment, then plopped down on the ground and burst into loud sobs, his face instantly covered in tears and snot.
The commotion immediately alerted the others in the training ground.
"What happened?"
"Who are these outsiders? How dare they bully our young master in the Lin family!"
A dozen or so members of the Lin family's collateral branches and guards surrounded them, each with an unfriendly expression.
"You're asking for it, kid! Who gave you the guts?!"
"Teach him a lesson!"
"This person seems to have been brought by Sister Lin. Let's ask about the situation first."
"What the hell are you asking? Some nobody from a distant branch of the family dares to bully Xiao Tian! Beat him up!"
Seeing that someone was backing him up, Lin Xiaotian immediately stopped crying and pointed at Su Yu smugly: "Kid, see how powerful I, Lin Xiaotian, am? Quickly apologize to me, and I'll let them go!"
Su Yu remained calm, only annoyed by their noise, and continued practicing his punches. However, if they dared to come closer, Su Yu wouldn't mind teaching them a lesson.
Seeing Su Yu remain silent, several hot-blooded young members of the collateral branch of the family sneered even more, assuming he was afraid. They rolled up their sleeves, grinning maliciously as they approached: "Young Master Tian, we'll help you deal with him!"
Just as conflict was about to erupt.
"Snapped!"
A cracking sound, like a thunderclap, ripped through the air, startling everyone so much that they shrank back.
"Stop it, all of you!"
Lin Jing walked over, holding a soft, purplish-copper whip, her pretty face full of murderous intent, swaying her hips.
"This old lady is here," someone muttered under their breath.
Lin Jing is a newly promoted martial artist in the family. She is powerful and has a fiery temper. How could the ordinary disciples dare to provoke her?
"Lin Xiaotian, what's going on!"
Lin Jing didn't confront Su Yu about it; instead, she scolded Lin Xiaotian, which made Su Yu look at her curiously.
Lin Xiaotian bared his teeth, looking like a little tiger, but his retreating steps betrayed him. "It's not my fault! He hit me! But... but I forgive him! Bye!"
Although the boy was young, he was extremely clever. Seeing that things were not going well, he slipped away.
At this moment, Lin Dong also walked over and cupped his hands to the crowd, saying, "Everyone, this is Brother Su Yu, a martial arts expert, a distinguished guest personally invited by Sister Lin. Please disperse, lest we become a laughingstock."
"Warrior?"
"Were they hired by the second-in-command?"
The originally aggressive crowd immediately fell silent. The few Lin family members who had charged the most fiercely shrank back, glanced at Su Yu with awe, and scattered like birds and beasts.
Once the surroundings quieted down, Lin Dong approached Su Yu, clasped his hands in apology, and said, "Brother Su, I'm sorry, Xiao Tian is the son of the family head, and he has a bit of a temper."
"That brat deserves another beating!" Lin Jing angrily lashed the ground with her whip, leaving a white mark on the bluestone slab instantly.
Lin Dong also smiled and explained, "Xiao Tian doesn't have any bad intentions, he just likes to cause trouble. He was whipped by my sister before, and he's terrified of her ever since."
"It's alright," Su Yu said calmly. "Thank you both for your help earlier."
He was new to the Lin family and didn't want to cause too much trouble. If he beat up all the ordinary Lin family members, who knows what kind of trouble their family members would cause later.
After all, it's impossible for a family like that not to have a few brainless spoiled brats.
However, judging from the conduct of Lin Dong and Lin Jing, the Lin family's overall family tradition seems to be quite good.
Suppressing his thoughts, Su Yu resumed practicing the White Ape Fist, no longer caring about the matter.
Seeing Su Yu practicing his fist techniques, his blood and qi surging, and he had only managed to hit one acupoint in less than a minute, Lin Jing's eyes flashed with a hint of eagerness: "Su Yu, since we are both going to participate in the martial arts examination, why don't we have a friendly spar and get to know each other's martial arts level?"
"Sister Lin told us to ask you for advice more often, so don't back down like a coward!"
After speaking, she took two steps closer with her long legs, her leopard-print shorts outlining her explosive curves, making her look like a real female leopard staring at Su Yu.
Lin Dong said with a hint of helplessness, "Brother Su, my sister is just a bit straightforward and always prefers to let her strength speak for itself. Don't take it personally."
Su Yu smiled; how could he not understand what the brother and sister meant?
However, martial arts sparring does have its benefits. This month, Master Qin's intention is to have Senior Sister Lin take him around to spar.
Fighting Lin Jing now is also a form of training.
"In that case, I'll gladly accept Miss Lin's expert advice."
"readily!"
Lin Jing's eyes lit up, and she flicked her soft whip like a snake striking out: "However, there's a rule for our sparring: there has to be a prize! Otherwise, it's no fun!"
"What kind of prize?"
"If I win, I'll whip your butt three times with this whip, and from then on you'll be my little brother, how about it?"
Su Yu's expression turned cold, and he said, "And what if you lost?"
"I am at your disposal!" Lin Jing said confidently and decisively.
Lin Dong quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Brother Su, my sister was just joking. Let's keep the peace, let's keep the peace."
Su Yu said calmly, "I won't take advantage of you. If Miss Lin loses, I'll slap you three times and give you another hundred taels of silver as a wager. How about it?"
"Alright! Stop dawdling and let's begin!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the long whip in Lin Jing's hand shot out like a venomous snake, hissing as it tore through the air and headed straight for Su Yu's face.
Su Yu immediately activated the Tremor-Swaying Step, his body swaying back lightly like a leaf in the wind, dodging the attack.
However, the long whip then changed direction in mid-air and continued to wrap around Su Yu!
Lin Jing's long whip attack was executed flawlessly and at great speed, creating a series of crackling sounds in the air.
The Lin family disciples practicing martial arts nearby were also attracted and began to watch.
"Sister Jing's whip technique has improved again; combined with her purple-gold whip, its power is truly astonishing!"
"Yes, yes, this newcomer Su Yu is also a martial artist, but he looks so young, he's probably going to suffer."
"Sister Jing is aiming for a high ranking in the martial arts examination; how could this Su kid who appeared out of nowhere possibly compare?"
In the arena, Su Yu remained calm, his footwork constantly shifting as he dodged.
He is currently practicing the Seven Fiends Thunderclap Step. Although he has not yet broken through to mastery, his normal speed has increased by more than 20%, which is enough to deal with most situations in one acupoint.
Moreover, he still has moves like the Thunderclap Step that he hasn't used yet.
This match against Lin Jing is also a good opportunity to hone this footwork.
So he didn't rush to retaliate, but instead adapted.
"Su Yu, is all you dare to do is hide and run away? Then why don't you kneel down before me now and let me give you a good whipping!" Lin Jing's face grew increasingly smug as she saw Su Yu being forced back step by step.
With this level of skill, Sister Lin still wants me to ask him for advice?
Upon hearing this, Su Yu's expression turned cold, and he gripped the hilt of the Mo Yuan sword tightly.
