Chapter 18: Do You Seek for Power?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Bai Yu said these words, a surge of power emerged from his body out of thin air.

He could not pinpoint the source of energy at all.

This feeling… This feeling of being stronger just by breathing. Although he had to loosened his moral integrity, it felt too great to let go!

Of course, when Bai Yu’s words fell into the ears of the rest of the people there, many of them cringed hard from it.

Even Qin Shou had a constipated expression on his face.

“Bai Yu, even if it’s a sparring match, you have to be careful. After all, you don’t have the right reflexes when it comes to punches and kicks,” Liu Kui reminded him.

If it were not for Qin Shou’s orders, he really would not have made a move. If he were to face an ordinary person, it was very likely that he would be able to kill the other party with a single punch.

“I got this. Don’t hold back. Use your full strength!”

Bai Yu’s gaze was bright. As soon as he finished speaking, the feeling of power increased.

Bai Yu even felt that this aura had something to do with him verbally fighting back.

As long as he said those words that were filled with retortion, he would be able to increase his strength.

In order to gain more strength, he had to stow away his integrity!

…

In the center of the arena, Liu Kui was trying to warn him out of goodwill. However, he was irritated by Bai Yu’s pestering words.

The surrounding disciples of the Ironstone Martial School did not know how to reach a small kid pushing a big man’s buttons.

Liu Kui was trying to warn him out of kindness. He was afraid that he would kill him with one punch. In the end, Bai Yu provoked him again and again. It was simply too infuriating!

However, Bai Yu’s burning hot-blooded appearance made people interested in how it was going to play out.

“Come on, attack me with all your strength. I’m ready!” Bai Yu made a stance, and the surging energy in his body shouted at Liu Kui from afar.

Seeing that the other party did not respond for a long time.

Bai Yu shouted, “Come on, attack! Liu Kui, punch me!”

“I’ve warned you.”

Liu Kui had a belly full of anger. At this moment, he was ready to teach Bai Yu a lesson.

He shook his right arm and stomped on the ground with the tip of his foot. The violent recoil made him shoot forward like an arrow leaving the bowstring. The fist that was raised above his head came down with an intense pressure.

In just a little more than a second, he had crossed the distance of ten meters between the two of them. The surrounding members of the school could even feel a hot wind being pulled out by Liu Kui’s figure and blowing against their faces.

“Ironstone Fist? Is he being serious right now?”

A female disciple of the martial arts school shouted.

Ironstone Fist was the signature spiritual technique of the Ironstone Martial Arts school.

The students could gather the power in their bodies on their fists, and it was so strong that it could split boulders into half. However, halfway through this punch, the more violent the fist, the more shocked the surrounding people were.

“This isn’t good… Liu Kui can’t control his strength. Bai Yu isn’t even a quasi-martial artist, so he won’t be able to take this punch!”

“Liu Kui is currently too strong for him. He can’t control his strength. Quickly stop him, Bai Yu is in danger!”

Several martial arts school disciples cried out in alarm.

Qin Shou’s expression also gradually darkened. The mechanical equipment on his arm was charging up and ready to counterattack as well.

At this moment, even Liu Kui’s expression changed. He had originally planned to teach Bai Yu a lesson. However, halfway through the punch, this trickle of water turned into an uncontrollable tsunami. He could not stop it at all.

The power on his fist was riled up, and he felt like it was difficult to return.

“Quickly dodge!”

In a moment of desperation, he had no choice but to shout loudly.

It was obviously useless.

Bai Yu, who had originally planned to experiment with the Halo effect, was not going to dodge.

He stood where he was, the fist with a powerful force in his pupils gradually enlarged, and the surging blood energy rolled in front of his body.

Right when the people around were about to scream, Bai Yu reached out a hand and steadily caught Liu Kui’s fist. His body did not move at all, and his eyes were focused. “Thank you for letting me win.”

The situation at the scene shocked everyone.

Bai Yu easily received Liu Kui’s terrifying punch. He did not even an inch. It looked like the Ironstone Fist attack did nothing to him!

Everyone, including Liu Kui, had a look of shock on their faces

“Hey, hey, Liu Kui, that’s enough. You’ll be beaten to death if you act pretentiously like this.” Qin Shou let out a long breath. At the same time, he was secretly shocked. How did Bai Yu manage to do that?

The power of Liu Kui’s punch was definitely not something that an ordinary person could receive.

The odd thing was… Bai Yu did receive it, and it looked so easy!

Even though he knew that his best friend often did not play by the rules, this stunt was still a little far-fetched.

“It’s my fault for being careless. As expected of Lingjiang’s First High School’s top student. The combination of your body resiliency and spiritual power in your body has already broken through to 200 points, right? 

“Moreover, you’ve been reserving your powers to not expose your true self, isn’t it?” 

Liu Kui’s face turned red. He withdrew his fist and said admiringly. He did not have the slightest bit of resentment or displeasure.

After all, they were very clear about the relationship between Bai Yu and their young master. The more powerful Bai Yu was, the more they could benefit from it in the future.

The surrounding students changed their previous impression of Bai Yu as a nerd. It turned out that this kid was not only good at studying, but he was also good at fighting.

That’s right! Nowadays, schools even emphasized the importance of both culture and martial arts.

With only the results from his school grades, how could he be the first in Linjiang’s school?

However, when they remembered how they looked when they were Bai Yu’s age, their faces became hot.

Comparing themselves to him was infuriating!

“All of you can leave.”

Qin Shou let his subordinates leave before giving them a stern look. “Bai Yu, good for you. You hid your strength so well that you could even take a sequence nine martial artist’s attack. Knowledge sure is power.”

Bai Yu was serious as he coughed softly. “Some time ago, I realized that if I said certain things, it would…”

“Stop, stop. I don’t want to know how you took Liu Kui’s punch.”

Qin Shou smiled and said, “It’s not a good thing to know too much. Those people who know too much get in trouble.

“However, with your strength, even if your performance is not stable, our success rate at night will be much higher.”

Everyone had their own fair share of secrets, and Qin Shou was no exception.

Even the most intimate lovers and relatives had to leave some personal space.

He did not want to know what Bai Yu’s secret was. The other party did not want to tell him, so he chose not to pry.

“You have a strong desire to survive.” Bai Yu rolled his eyes. “I originally planned to make up an excuse to fool you, but in the end, you didn’t give me a chance at all.”

“Hey, hey, even if you want to make up an excuse, don’t tell me so brazenly. Also, what the h*ll do you mean by an excuse? Are you calling me d*mb?”

Qin Shou’s expression changed as he was being ridiculed.

“I can’t help it. Besides, I’m not fooling you. I really need to say something shameful and stupid to become stronger. Anyways, are you done speaking? I’m hungry.”

“…”

…

It was getting late.

Two mechanical flying cars were placed in front of the Ironstone Martial Arts school.

The combination of machinery and high-tech construction attracted the attention of passersby.

The war fire G0-12, which was developed by the Skyfire Machinery Company, was driven by a magic kinetic energy core.

The fastest speed could reach 500 kilometers per hour, and it could drive on the land, sea, and air.

Its core engine had even been added with Live Iron, which greatly increased the performance of the entire locomotive, but the price was also famous for being expensive.

Such a war locomotive was enough to match the price of several top-class supercars, and there was a price but no demand for it.

Bai Yu and Qin Shou were fortunate enough to get their hands on it. It was all thanks to their parent’s old friends.

Many times, Bai Yu was actually very grateful to his parents whom he had never truly formed a connection with. Even after their deaths, they had left behind many doors of convenience.

“Let’s go. Liu Kui and the others have already gone ahead to set up the place. The specific location of the meeting will be left to us to decide. This is the greatest advantage we have right now. Of course, the other party might also have strong confidence and be able to take us down steadily.”

Qin Shou exhaled as his friend nodded as a reply.

From the meeting in the afternoon, even if he did not take the initiative to make contact, trouble would come to him eventually.

If he really wanted to avoid trouble, the only way was not to touch that demon paper.

However, if he did not touch it, it would not disappear, and it would not be so easy for Lin Shan to figure out who killed the female streamer. 

Bai Yu was stuck in a paradoxical stalemate.

His plan now was to strike hard instead of waiting for trouble to come looking for him..
