Martial Arts: I Have Diligence Reward System-Chapter 492 - 193: The Substitute Player’s Mission
Tonight, the eight teams advancing to the Wuda competition are pretty quiet; they didn’t go out for an all-night celebration.
Of course, this kind of thing has nothing to do with Su Yue.
He was dragged out by Bai Xiaolong to grab some skewers early. Originally, Su Yue thought that since he hadn’t broken through to the third rank, he should cultivate and wait for a chance to break through when the Qi ring wasn’t looking.
But with Bai Xiaolong’s enthusiastic invitation, Su Yue felt that the earthly atmosphere of the streets might also be the key to a breakthrough.
So, skewers it is.
Before leaving, Su Yue also called Du Jing’s Book along.
Brother Du has a knack for grilled skewers; yesterday, with girls around, he didn’t dare let loose.
Tonight, Su Yue wanted to bond over spiciness and have a duel with Brother Du.
"No way, tomorrow there’s the qualification battle against West Martial; I absolutely can’t stay up all night wasting energy."
Upon knowing Su Yue and Bai Xiaolong’s intention, Du Jing’s Book firmly refused.
I, Du Jing’s Book, am a man of principle.
If I say I won’t go, I absolutely won’t go.
"Come on, the qualification battle has nothing to do with a weakling like you. Your Senior Brother Bai hasn’t graduated yet, and in the future, he can cover you in the Damp Realm.
"I heard you’re practicing some indestructible chrysanthemum technique. Today, I, your senior brother, want to spar with you."
Bai Xiaolong was relentless.
"Exactly, you’re just a substitute, your mission is complete."
Su Yue also said.
"But the team has rules."
Du Jing’s Book hesitated.
"Isn’t the purpose of rules to wait for them to be broken?"
"Look at me, Su Yue, have I ever followed the rules?"
Su Yue sneered.
Night market, barbecue stall.
"Boss, 100 spicy mutated wings, or I’ll smash the stall."
Su Yue, Du Jing’s Book, Bai Xiaolong.
The three sat down, bonding over spiciness and sparring their chrysanthemum techniques.
"Do you know why this shop is next to a proctology hospital?
"There are 800 martial artists as wild as you each year, and half of them end up hospitalized.
"If you can finish these 100 skewers, today’s bill is on the house."
The boss looked at them with contempt.
These young people, simply overestimating themselves.
"Brother Du, whether we can educate this young boss today depends on your iron chrysanthemum." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Su Yue sneered.
However, he was the first to be defeated.
Bai Xiaolong pretended for five minutes, his lips swelling like sausages, finally failing.
Leaving Du Jing’s Book alone, laughing in the martial world.
The young boss wanted to kneel before Brother Du.
Of course, during this time, a few groupies from other Wuda came to ask Bai Xiaolong for autographs; that’s a story for another time. Su Yue said he wasn’t jealous.
There were even female students from other Wuda confessing to Du Jing’s Book on the street; Su Yue also claimed he wasn’t jealous.
Finally, a girl came to ask for his number.
Only then did Su Yue confirm that his charm was still intact.
Turns out, the girls just wanted Su Yue to be a messenger to pass love letters to Du Jing’s Book.
Su Yue felt murderous.
Aside from the Big Four Martial Arts Academies, other Wuda have already finished exams, and everyone is relaxed, turning this hundreds-of-schools competition into an event for schools to interact; after all, they’re all the same age and have common topics.
And Du Jing’s Book, being a freshman in the main lineup, is simply the prince charming of the young girls.
Bai Xiaolong mocked Su Yue as outdated, like old salted vegetables.
As it was getting late, they returned to the neighborhood.
"Get some rest, we have to watch the competition tomorrow."
Bai Xiaolong patted Su Yue’s shoulder, then hastily escaped in the direction of the restroom.
Su Yue couldn’t sleep.
He stared blankly in his room, feeling quite frustrated.
Actually, during the day, he sensed breakthrough signs several times but couldn’t take that step.
It was particularly frustrating.
And those shallow girls, only knew to ask Du Jing’s Book for a number. Am I not obviously handsome?
Despicable.
Sure enough, popularity requires constant presence.
It hasn’t been long, yet I’ve been forgotten.
Sigh, forgetful humans.
...
The day dawned.
Today, the stadium is clearly more lively than yesterday.
Yesterday was the elimination battle, many boring matches put people to sleep.
But today is different.
The eight arenas have already been removed early, replaced by a huge central high platform.
The platform was exceptionally solemn.
Even a distant glance gives an intangible oppression.
Finally, the eight advancing teams entered the stage.
Instantly, the venue erupted with thunderous cheers, and even Su Yue was infected by the atmosphere, couldn’t help but shout a few times.
Of course, Su Yue himself didn’t know what he was shouting, just that he was happy.
"The first match is West Martial versus Yawu, there’s no suspense at all.
"If nothing goes wrong, Mu Cheng will take three in a row without pressure."
Bai Xiaolong made a bored comment.
Su Yue noticed that Bai Xiaolong was tightly crossing his legs, clearly indicating some discomfort in the chrysanthemum area.
He looked over at Brother Du from afar.
Chrysanthemum King well lives up to his name.
Even after devouring so many chicken wings, Brother Du can remain unfazed; it’s such a mystery.
"Mu Cheng taking three in a row?
"Yawu’s main team has two fourth ranks, one third rank.
"Although the two fourth ranks are just beginners, so is Mu Cheng. Is it that easy? This is a relay battle."
Su Yue stared at Bai Xiaolong in surprise.
These past two days of matches, Su Yue had been observing these excellent A-wu.
Have to admit.
These top-tier A-wu indeed have something to offer.
Yawu’s two fourth ranks are definitely not just Qi and Blood Martial Artists focused on blood cultivation.
On the contrary, they possess very proficient combat skills, clearly having fought in the Damp Realm for real.
