The loud cries echoed throughout the Martial Arts Arena.
This crying immediately baffled Su Tu. He looked at Xiong Laile, who was sitting on the stage, and even felt a bit guilty for bullying a child.
At this moment, Xiong Laile had lost all of his previous arrogance, turning into a child throwing a tantrum.
Luo Fan and the others were also puzzled by this scene. Fatty Zhuge covered his mouth, trying hard not to laugh out loud.
It’s normal for martial artists to engage in duels with wins and losses.
But a martial artist who has opened a hundred acupoints being slapped into tears was truly unheard of.
"Stop crying!!" Xiong Yingtian executed an Instantaneous Movement and appeared on the platform, covering Xiong Laile’s mouth.
His dignified face turned slightly red, overwhelmed with shame.
This damn getting slapped in the face was too fast. He hadn’t even finished bragging to old Zhou, and his great-nephew got knocked out.
Although his great-nephew’s character was problematic, his combat power wasn’t weak.
Born with a Bone Appearance, he was a match even for martial artists who had opened a hundred acupoints, but now he was slapped by this kid who had only opened seventy-six acupoints.
This kid, what kind of monster is he!
"Sorry, Master Xiong, I didn’t mean to; it was truly a matter of not controlling my strength."
Su Tu said calmly. Xiong Laile climbed up from the ground, hiding behind his grandfather, like a child seeking an adult’s support after being bullied.
"No problem, no problem, the younger generation is truly formidable, old Zhou, you’ve taken in a good disciple."
"I really misjudged." Xiong Yingtian spoke in a bold voice, as resonant as a bell, with no shame in his tone despite his great-nephew’s defeat.
Instead, he looked at Su Tu with great admiration.
"Good kid, you have such combat power without even opening a hundred acupoints, and your perception is so sharp; truly a great talent!"
"Do you know why you lost so quickly?" Xiong Yingtian asked his great-nephew.
While wiping his tears, Xiong Laile shook his head. He couldn’t figure out why, despite using his strongest attack, he got crushed by a slap.
"You tried to transform the Celestial Killer with your entire body’s Qi to quickly finish the fight, but your Celestial Killer had weaknesses. The opponent saw through your flashy techniques, slapped, and shattered your Celestial Killer Life Gate, destroying your Celestial Killer."
"In a life-and-death duel, at this moment, you would already be in the Underworld!"
Xiong Yingtian spoke word by word.
Hearing his words, Su Tu couldn’t help but marvel in his heart. As expected of someone on the same level as my teacher, he quickly discerned the intricacies of combat.
The more Xiong Yingtian looked at Su Tu, the more he appreciated him. Although he had fewer acupoints opened, just from what Su Tu showcased, he could deduce that the kid’s Martial Merchant qualities were exceptionally high.
Moreover, he suspected that Su Tu had a special physique, as his Qi could rival that enhanced by a hundred acupoints.
He immediately felt admiration for talent. It’s a pity his great-nephew didn’t have the Hundred Victories Bone’s enhancement for this match. If only he could bring this kid into my martial hall....
At this point, Xiong Yingtian was head over heels and even forgot who Su Tu’s mentor was, even desiring to take him as a disciple.
"You’re really impressive; I wonder if you’re interested..."
But before he could finish, a figure appeared out of the void, directly blocking the front.
Zhou Wuliang spoke with a sinister tone, "Old Xiong, you’re not being fair. I willingly let my student help you, yet you’re trying to poach him?"
Xiong Yingtian felt somewhat embarrassed at these words.
He truly admired talent just now and actually forgot this was old Zhou’s Dao Field. Even if he wanted to do anything, it shouldn’t be here.
He scratched his head sheepishly.
"Alright, hand it over."
Zhou Wuliang said with some irritation.
Hearing these words, Xiong Yingtian paused. He initially intended to give a Tier Three Body Technique because he thought his great-nephew would win by cultivation. But now that his great-nephew got slapped into tears.
He still had to hand over a Body Technique, feeling like he was losing out big time.
He thought so but maintained his calm expression. A senior naturally must carry themselves like one. Even if it hurt inside, he had to remain composed on the surface.
He pointed a finger into the air, where a virtual light screen appeared, looking at Su Tu.
Su Tu wasn’t sure what was happening, so he didn’t speak hastily but looked at his teacher.
Zhou Wuliang laughed upon seeing this, "Your senior Xiong appreciates you and plans to give you a Tier Three Body Technique. You don’t have to be polite; just take it."
Hearing these words, a glimmer of light flashed in Su Tu’s eyes.
He didn’t expect an unexpected surprise. The Prajna Seven Kills he currently mastered was a Tier Three Technique, which had already significantly boosted his combat power.
Along with a Tier Three Body Technique, Su Tu’s combat power would further increase.
He didn’t make any gestures to refuse. His finger pointed into the air, and a virtual light screen appeared accordingly.
This was the smart terminal, invested by Li Hu for Su Tu through New Star Technology, directly connected to the Martial Artist Forum and capable of interstellar transactions.
With the sound of a notification, Su Tu saw additional data appear on his terminal.
The name of this Tier Three Basic Skill was only two characters, Void Jump.
"Thank you, senior." He politely spoke.
Xiong Yingtian waved it aside, saying, "No need to thank me. Just a meeting gift, why bother saying thanks."
Hearing this, Zhou Wuliang rolled his eyes almost to the sky. That old guy just said that to sound nice, yet didn’t mean it, truly a hypocrite!
He cursed inwardly, feeling uncomfortable, so he cursed a few more times until he finished with seven curses.
"Laile, go have a nice exchange with your senior brother Su. With your personality, what would you do if the Martial Arts Department truly starts training sessions?" Xiong Yingtian pushed Xiong Laile out from behind him.
Upon hearing that, Zhou Wuliang’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Is the plan finalized?"
"Not yet." Xiong Yingtian pointed to the sky and continued, "However, the higher-ups believe the progress is too slow."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wuliang’s mouth twitched, seemingly a bit displeased, but he said nothing in front of his students.
He clasped his hands behind his back, "Come, let’s go to my place, and we’ll talk."
Then, his and Xiong Yingtian’s figures dissipated into thin air.
Even though Su Tu’s Martial Arts Cultivation had improved significantly, he still couldn’t discern their figures clearly.
It didn’t feel like their speed was too fast to detect but rather that they instantly left the current space.
"Brother... hello." A timid voice suddenly sounded as Su Tu pondered.
He saw Xiong Laile standing pitifully in front of him.
His brows furrowed slightly, as though contemplating something seriously, and the timid expression gradually turned resolute.
Then Su Tu saw Xiong Laile dive down and prostrate himself, intoning in the style of a bandit pledging allegiance in an old movie.
"Big brother above, please accept my reverence!!"
"Please, big brother, take me on a grand tour, take me flying!!!"
Su Tu was dumbfounded.
Luo Fan and the others below the stage were also at a loss, what kind of operation was this, wasn’t it, couldn’t beat, so you pledge allegiance, right??
