Chapter 0003: A Single Move to Defeat in an Instant
Oh, this fool actually spoke today. Is he truly foolish or just pretending to be foolish
Du Shaofu was taken aback for a moment, then he understood clearly. He slightly raised his head, and the clear gaze in his eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the black-clad figure on the arena. With a faint smile, he said, "This doesn't seem quite right. Why don't you first challenge the weakest of my cousins and see if there is even a glimmer of opportunity."
Amidst the loud jeers and peculiar gazes around him, Heizi discreetly scanned the crowd of the Du family in front of the arena, noticing that his distant relatives were among them. He did not show much outward expression, yet his courage grew increasingly bolder.
Heihei smiled slyly, his gaze falling with a smile on Du Shaofu. He was well aware of the situation of the Du family, and coincidentally saw the renowned Young Master Du Shaofu present as well, which was like a stroke of divine assistance, and naturally, it could not be missed
Du Qi seems to have developed some interest in Heizi. The weakest among the juniors in the front courtyard have now reached the level of the fourth stage of the acquired realm, approaching the fifth stage. Although this person is considered one of the more advanced among them, it is likely that a miracle would be needed for him to match or defeat those juniors.
Heizi looked at Du Shaofu below the arena and cupped his fists in salute, speaking loudly. However, there was no sign of the same respect towards the other members of the Du family in his eyes; instead, there was a hint of mocking amusement.
The Du family cannot go back on their word, can they
Heizi challenges Du Shaofu, this guy is truly shameless, but now the Du family is in a predicament, suffering in silence without a word to say
Since you are determined, then let it be as you wish
Seeing Du Shaofu suddenly appear before him, Heizi's expression instantly turned to one of shock and daze. Just with this one move, could this young master of the Du family truly be the so-called useless and foolish person from legend?
Challenge Du Shaofu, that fool... this guy is too shameless
This statement, it seems, does not appear to be too foolish
The crowd of onlookers surrounding the arena immediately turned their attention to Du Shaofu, and it was only then that they realized the esteemed young master of the Du family, known as the fool, was right beside them, having gone unnoticed until now
All eyes were stunned by the sudden loud shout, including that of Heizi himself. As a low, muffled sound echoed, seemingly accompanied by the sound of bones breaking, everyone was momentarily dazzled. Then, they witnessed a towering figure flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily down from the arena.
The surrounding voices of provocation grew increasingly unrestrained, and some unrest began to emerge within the crowd
What should we do now
After scanning the crowd around the arena that was jeering, Du Qiming glanced at the somewhat ungrateful black piece, a hint of displeasure crossing his eyes, and said: "In that case, which young master or young lady of the Du family do you wish to challenge?"
Du Qi's face twitched; who would have thought that this person would shamelessly target Du Shaofu? Today, he is responsible for the recruitment of guards, and if the reputation of the Du family is affected in any way, he is likely to face dire consequences as the commander.
A dozen or so younger members of the Du family also turned to stay on the arena, exchanging glances that revealed smiles. Since there were those who sought to be challenged, they naturally would not hold back
This fool, appearing in this occasion today, is a disaster for the entire Du family
Du Qi gazed at Du Shaofu, who had arrived at an unknown time, and his face involuntarily twitched. He then slightly furrowed his brows and said to Heizi: "Indeed, that is Young Master Du Shaofu, naturally the young master of the Du family"
Creak!
Du Qi was somewhat surprised, slightly raising his head to focus his gaze on that black-clothed individual. He had noticed this person's performance on the arena just now; this individual should have formally practiced martial arts, but their martial vein was not high, and their cultivation was only at the second level of the acquired stage. However, among these twenty people, they were definitely among the top.
This fool actually spoke today
Could it be that the Du family is afraid? In that case, let Hei Zi directly become the captain of the guard.
Suddenly, just as the fist reached Du Shaofu's chest, a loud shout erupted from his mouth. The shout resembled a dragon's roar echoing through the heavens, akin to the long cry of a divine elephant. In his clear and bright eyes, a lightning-like brilliance flickered. His purple robe trembled violently in an instant, and the entire arena shook once more. Centered around Du Shaofu's feet, cracks began to spread across the arena.
The faces of the entire Du family, who had just spoken disrespectfully, now appeared somewhat unnatural, with a burning sensation spreading across their cheeks
Upon hearing Du Shaofu's words, the members of the Du family suddenly exchanged surprised glances.
Boom
The members of the Du family are all secretly criticizing him. No matter what, Du Shaofu is still the young master of the Du family. If he were to be knocked down by a single move from a guard, it would be a significant embarrassment for the Du family
As Du Shaofu departed, the entire arena trembled, and soon cracks began to form and shatter from the very spot where Du Shaofu had just stood. Ultimately, a large hole directly collapsed in the center of the arena, causing those around to retreat in succession
Heizi trembled slightly under the intangible pressure exerted by Du Qi, his gaze unable to meet the latter's. However, considering the benefits that would come from becoming the captain of the Du family's guard, and with distant relatives in the Du family, he was not afraid of offending this commander. Gritting his teeth slightly, he spoke again to Du Qi: "Hasn't the Du family ever kept their word? You must at least let me have a try."
Amidst the dense crowd of onlookers, the gazes became increasingly peculiar. In the entire Stone City, how many people are unaware of the infamous fool of a young master
Challenge the Guard Captain
Then it is settled, I will challenge the young master of the Du family today. If I win, I should be able to become the captain of the guard.
Few people saw it clearly, but everyone witnessed it. The rumored fool of the Du family did not make a move at all. With that loud shout, Hei Zi was directly sent flying, a remarkable display of skill that left people in awe, making it hard to believe even for those who saw it with their own eyes
Goo goo ... ...
Heizi looked at Du Shaofu in front of the arena, listening to the uproar around him, and felt increasingly emboldened. After all, he had learned from a distant relative within the Du family that this incapable and foolish young master had no standing in the clan, so there was no need to fear offending him. He gazed at Du Shaofu and laughed loudly, "Is it possible that the esteemed young master of the Du family dares not engage in a duel with me? If that is the case, does it mean I can directly become the captain of the guard?"
Heihzi struggled to rise after being knocked off the stage, covering the lower part of his chest as a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out. It seemed that several of his ribs were definitely broken. His gaze was fixed on the slender and upright young man in the purple robe on the stage, his face filled with shock.
Break!
Du Shaofu appeared before Heizi, his expression showing little change. Standing with his hands behind his back, his purple robe slightly swaying, his clear gaze shimmered with clarity as he lightly said to the dazed Heizi: "Are you not going to make a move?"
The eyes of all the members of the Du family present immediately lit up with excitement. Who does not know that Du Shaofu is a person incapable of cultivation, and is also considered a fool? At this moment, seeing his somewhat dazed appearance, it is undoubtedly a genuine display of foolishness.
You may continue, I will return first
What ... ...
Some well-meaning individuals in the crowd also began to stir up trouble at an inappropriate time. For the onlookers, having a lively spectacle to watch was certainly the best outcome.
In the crowd, Du Shaofu had just finished observing the lively scene on stage and was about to leave when he suddenly sensed his own name faintly resonating around him. All eyes turned towards him, and finally, following the gazes of those around, he directed his attention to the arena.
The uproar around the entire arena came to an abrupt halt, and as they gazed at the scene unfolding before them, their jaws dropped in astonishment, unable to close for a long time. For those who had just been jeering and mocking, it was undoubtedly akin to receiving a slap in the face. Was he truly a foolish young master who could not cultivate
Oh, someone dares to challenge the position of the captain of the guard, quite bold indeed
A faint voice emerged from Du Shaofu's mouth, amidst the numerous peculiar and complex gazes. As Du Shaofu's foot pressed against the ground, two streams of azure energy suddenly erupted around his heel. Utilizing this momentum, he leaped into the air and, amidst the countless astonished hisses from the crowd surrounding the arena, directly appeared in front of the black-clad figure on the stage. The moment he landed, the arena itself trembled.
If we lose, that little treatment is insignificant and not worth mentioning, but the reputation of the Du family cannot be compromised
The crowd surrounding the arena exchanged astonished glances, with many swallowing hard in disbelief
The young master of the Du family does not dare to step onto the arena
Who is calling me, is someone looking for me
It is impossible; I must be seeing things.
The illustrious Du family is nothing more than this
Those busybodies in the crowd hid in the corners and began to stir up trouble again. If they were to openly cause a ruckus, they would not dare to offend the Du family
Although the means of challenging a fool is somewhat shameless, when recalling the benefits of becoming the captain of the guard, even if being scolded for being shameless, Heizi now accepts it. Being able to become the captain of the guard is what truly matters
Are you really going to challenge the position of the captain of the guard? Having ambition is a good thing, but the position of captain of the guard is not an easy one to challenge
He swallowed hard, his gaze slowly sweeping over the dozen or so boys and girls who had long been eyeing him with hostility. Finally, he suddenly turned around, fixing his gaze on a young man in a purple robe among the crowd, and said: "He should also be a young master of the Du family, right?"
Do you want to challenge me
Du Shaofu
Upon hearing this, the onlookers who were about to disperse immediately halted in their tracks, seemingly eager to witness the excitement once more
This young master of the Du family, are you truly afraid to engage in a duel? In that case, the Du family might as well directly appoint me as the captain of the guard, haha. Heizi laughed heartily, becoming increasingly pleased with himself. To be able to make a young master of the Du family suffer so in front of him, he must be the first person in Shicheng to achieve such a feat. He had never experienced such a grand display before.
Upon hearing this, Hei Zi finally came to his senses. He must have just been seeing things; could he really be afraid of a foolish young master? Gritting his teeth, he slightly bent his body, clenched his five fingers into a fist, and with a fierce wind swirling around his fist, three indistinct, semi-illusory shadows of his fist enveloped Du Shaofu and advanced towards him.
In a fleeting moment, three indistinct shadows of fists from Heizi appeared before Du Shaofu. The three indistinct fist shadows converged into a single point, and a punch was thrown towards Du Shaofu's chest.
On the arena, Du Shaofu did not cast another glance at the black piece below the stage. After saying a few words to Du Qi, who was not far from him, he shook the long sleeves of his purple robe and then stepped away calmly.
On the arena, Du Shaofu stood upright with his hands clasped behind his back, his purple robe fluttering in the strong wind, exuding an inexplicable aura of dominance.
Pfft
It is impossible, how could it ... ...
Young master of the Du family, please take the stage to offer your guidance
As the black-clad figure pointed, one gaze after another finally passed through the crowd and landed on the young man in the purple robe. Then, the members of the Du family were the first to show a peculiar expression. Who else could that fellow be if not Du Shaofu? They wondered when this fool had arrived, as he was usually not seen in such lively gatherings.
Well done, Heizi, you took down the young master of the Du family, haha
