Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1325: Chapter 1324: Soar Rapidly

Su Yang had just left when, in another corner of the basement, Yuan Tiangang and Wu Daozi quietly poked their heads out. Seeing that Su Yang had walked far away and disappeared, the two exchanged knowing smiles.

”How about that, I wasn’t wrong, was I!” Wu Daozi chuckled, ”This kid, he definitely got that inheritance.”

”No doubt about it!” Yuan Tiangang laughed, ”Otherwise, how could he have seen the text on the wall? If one does not cultivate these practices, they couldn’t possibly move the stone coffin, let alone read the text on the wall.”

”Even if they saw it, they wouldn’t understand it!” Wu Daozi added.

Yuan Tiangang nodded repeatedly, ”It’s strange though, isn’t it? Why didn’t the inheritance go to his son after he disappeared, but instead to this kid?”

”Who knows!” Wu Daozi scratched his head, ”Maybe it was too urgent back then, so it had to be done this way?”

Yuan Tiangang was still completely baffled, unable to understand the situation. In the end, he sighed, ”Anyway, this kid has a lot of potential; let’s cultivate him slowly.”

”Indeed!” Wu Daozi nodded, ”You know, this kid is also quite lucky. He assembled the Four Divine Beast Jade Stones, set up the Spirit Gathering Array underground, and even managed to stir the Heroic Spirits in the eight stone coffins. They personally took action, nurturing all four Divine Beast Jade Stones and that Little Turtle to their peak condition. Who else could stumble upon such an opportunity!”

”The key part is, he can also see inside the stone coffins,” Yuan Tiangang sighed, ”It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the scene inside those coffins. Ah, I really don’t know what’s going on with the eight Heroic Spirits now!”

”It looks like in the future, the task of entering the stone coffins should be left to him!” Wu Daozi also remarked pensively.

”Hope this kid won’t disappoint us!” Yuan Tiangang shared the sentiment.

...

Upon returning to the Shen Family Courtyard, the first thing Su Yang did was to retreat to his chamber for closed-door cultivation.

The things he obtained in the underground chamber of Qinghe Academy were simply too numerous, and Su Yang couldn’t fully assimilate them all at once. For now, he could only focus on improving a few main cultivation techniques he practiced. The rest would have to be carefully studied later.

Su Yang was in closed-door cultivation for a whole day and night, yet he only managed to cultivate a little bit of what he had seen. Nonetheless, his strength had greatly increased.

When he came out, just by chance, Lü Donglin and the Drunken Monk were drinking in the hall.

The two had arrived early, knowing that Su Yang was in cultivation, and had been waiting outside. As a result, this wait turned out to be quite lengthy.

Seeing Su Yang, whose aura had become much steadier, Lü Donglin and the Drunken Monk were both immensely surprised. It had only been a day, and Su Yang had changed so much.

”Brother Su, how did you do your cultivation?” Lü Donglin couldn’t help asking, ”It’s only been a day, and your strength has increased so much?”

Su Yang felt that his strength had indeed increased a lot, but even he couldn’t quite define the level he had reached.

”Spar for a couple of moves?” Su Yang smiled.

”Sure!” Lü Donglin immediately stood up, laughing, ”I’ve wanted to fight with you for a long time, but I couldn’t before, as it would have been bullying you. Now, it’s hard to say who would be bullying whom!”

Su Yang laughed heartily and didn’t waste words, directly soaring into the air, with Lü Donglin following quickly.

”Amitabha!” the Drunken Monk chanted a Buddhist mantra, picking up his wine bottle and following them up.

The crowd looked up, but the sky was darkened, and nothing could be seen. Only the occasional rumble, like thunder, indicated the magnitude of the battle between the two.

More than an hour later, three figures descended from the sky.

The Drunken Monk’s wine bottle was already empty, while Su Yang and Lü Donglin, one with disheveled hair and the other with tattered clothes, fell to the ground one after another.

”What a thrill!” Lü Donglin exclaimed joyously, ”It’s been a long time since I’ve had such an exhilarating fight!”

”Amitabha, Master Lü, you can’t be so nonchalant!” said the Drunken Monk. ”The fight you had with Lü Wenbang was almost the same.”

”When I fought Lü Wenbang, it was with calculated intent to kill him. Some secret techniques couldn’t be used, and some had to be performed. It was quite uncomfortable,” Lü Donglin explained. ”But fighting with the Su Brothers is different. Many secret techniques I’ve recently cultivated, which I’m not yet proficient in, could be practiced against them. Bald thief, let me tell you, a fight like this benefits me greatly, don’t you think?”

”That’s true,” the Drunken Monk slowly nodded.

Xiao Hei and Jeang Zier, however, were on the side with anxious faces. They were eager to know, who won this match after all?

But with Lü Donglin’s strength, the fact that Su Yang could fight him for so long was already a matter of pride.

Seemingly discerning their anxiety, Lü Donglin smiled and said: ”Don’t worry, Master Su is not so easily defeated.”

Xiao Hei and Jeang Zier were overjoyed. Had Su Yang actually defeated Lü Donglin?

”Don’t praise me mistakenly!” Su Yang interrupted Lü Donglin: ”If you fought as you did with Lü Wenbang, I would have lost long ago. This was only a draw because we were sparring. It would be another matter entirely if it were a fight to the death.”

Xiao Hei and Jeang Zier looked at each other—so it was a tie. And from the looks of it, did Lü Donglin even hold back for Su Yang?

”That’s not entirely accurate,” Lü Donglin shook his head. ”You just came out of seclusion, not yet adept in harnessing your own strength fully, and I’m about the same. Once you can utilize your power proficiently, our next fight might have an uncertain outcome.”

The Drunken Monk slowly nodded in agreement from the side, having watched the entire process and was naturally aware of their true strengths.

In fact, Su Yang’s prowess was now almost on par with Lü Donglin. What Su Yang lacked was merely combat experience, as he had just emerged from seclusion and wasn’t clear about his own strength level, let alone actual combat.

”However, I guess you’re going to be quite busy these next few days,” Lü Donglin suddenly said.

”What happened?” Su Yang asked curiously.

Lü Donglin continued, ”Old Zhang the Eighth has returned, and he publicly declared that he wants you to send back all the people you rescued from the dungeon to the dungeon again.”

”Old Zhang the Eighth?” Su Yang’s eyebrows furrowed; he hadn’t known about this person before. It was only after meeting the Black Widow that he found out about the deeds Old Zhang the Seventh and Old Zhang the Eighth were involved in behind the scenes.

The Martial Champion seemed to be helping Su Yang and appeared to be kind to him. In fact, their intentions were sinister, mainly aiming to use others to achieve their murderous goals.

As a result, not only did Su Yang not confront the Black Widow, but he also formed an alliance with her.

The Black Widow had mentioned before—if the Martial Champion side got to know about it, Su Yang would then face attacks from the Zhang Family.

He just didn’t expect it to happen so soon!
