My citizenship is at risk

Chapter 40 Xu Family Father and Son
"Ping—"

"clang--"

Amid the continuous sounds of metal clashing, Xu Qiu's expression became more and more solemn.

Chu Mu at this moment is completely different from who he was a week ago.

His two swords were unpredictable and put Xu Qiu under considerable pressure.

Although none of them was powerful enough to match his, as soon as he suppressed one of them, another one would immediately attack, which made Xu Qiu feel defenseless.

Are dual swords really better than a single sword?
At a certain moment, this thought popped up in Xu Qiu's mind.

But he soon realized that the strong one was not the dual swords, but the man who used them.

"drink!"

He exerted force with the long sword in his hand and chopped it down towards Chu Mu in front of him, forcing Chu Mu to block with both swords at the same time. After flying backwards for several meters, Xu Qiu's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

opportunity!

He rushed towards Chu Mu like a tiger in an instant, and the knife in his hand changed from opening and closing violently just now. He stabbed, picked, chopped and hacked quickly, like a ghost, making it impossible to predict the next attack.

Chu Mu held two long swords in his hands and countered the opponent's moves. Only afterimages were left of the three long swords in the rapid slashing. Only the continuous sound of metal clashing on the fighting stage could tell how many rounds the two men had attacked.

"clang!!!"

Accompanied by a loud bang that was far louder than the previous ones, Chu Mu found the right moment and used his double swords to suddenly block the single sword in Xu Qiu's hand.

"Hmph!" Xu Qiu grunted, suddenly grasped the hilt of the knife with both hands, and made a downward chopping motion. All the strength in his body burst out, trying to chop Chu Mu, who was close to him, into two halves.

"Pfft-"

The sound of a long knife entering flesh was heard, and Xu Qiu's chopping movement suddenly froze. He looked at Chu Mu in front of him in disbelief.

The opponent's two long knives had already pierced into his chest, instantly crushing his heart, and the tips of the knives were covered in thick blood and stabbed out from behind.

The outcome is decided.

The next moment, Xu Qiu's body turned into a spot of light and disappeared, leaving only Chu Mu standing in the field with a knife in his hand.

Chu Mu exited the virtual battle field, took off his helmet, and Xu Qiu's questioning voice quickly rang in his ears.

"What is this knife called?"

"Guan Tian." Chu Mu put the helmet back to its original place and spoke calmly.

"Guantian..." Xu Qiu was silent for a moment, "Next Monday, when you go to class, I will bring you the Unreal 4 helmet."

"No need." Chu Mu shook his head slightly.

Although he really wanted it in his heart, he knew his limits.

"It's just a normal sparring match. There's no need."

Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, Xu Qiu's face turned even uglier, "I'm willing to admit defeat, don't look down on me!"

Chu Mu: “…”

It was not until this moment that the other students who were in shock gradually came to their senses and realized that Chu Mu had really won the bet. There was an uproar all around, and many students came forward to ask Chu Mu how he did it.

"Ahem!" Zhou Huan coughed. "The sparring is over. What are you still doing here?"

"Line up and take turns sparring!"

"The get out of class isn't over yet!"

As Zhou Huan spoke, the students in the field immediately became obedient and quickly returned to the positions where they had lined up when the class started.

Zhou Huan patted Chu Mu's shoulder and spoke in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Don't worry, there will be helmets."
-
During the weekend, Chu Mu worked part-time in the Star Beast disassembly workshop as usual, and he did not forget to visit his mother in the sanatorium.

In Xingyuan, he and the rookie who had broken through to the third level had few rivals in the vicinity, and his evolution degree was also steadily increasing. Time passed, and it was next Monday.

Even though Xu Qiu said that he would definitely give him the helmet, Chu Mu did not have too high expectations for it.

Three hundred thousand is not a small sum. Even if Xu Qiu is willing to give it, will his parents agree?

On the way to school, Chu Mu checked his balance. After two weekends of part-time work, his deposit balance successfully exceeded 30,000 Alliance Coins.

"After deducting the cost of a week's practice and buying medicine for my mother from the money I earned over the weekend, I should have about 4 left." Chu Mu counted on his fingers, "After the placement test is over, I should be able to earn enough to buy an Unreal Engine in about a month during the summer vacation..."

"Chu Mu!"

Hearing someone calling him, Chu Mu stopped and looked in the direction of the voice, and soon saw Xu Qiu standing at the school gate.

Judging from the other party's posture, it seems that he is waiting for me.

On the side of the road next to Xu Qiu, there was a valuable car parked. A middle-aged man got out of the car and walked to Xu Qiu.

The two people's facial features are surprisingly similar.

Seeing this, Chu Mu's face suddenly showed helplessness.

"Hello, uncle." He walked up to the father and son politely, "The Unreal 4 helmet is too expensive, so this matter..."

"No!" Before Chu Mu could finish, Xu Qiu's father suddenly interrupted with a smile, "Since childhood, I have taught Xu Qiu to keep his word and do what he promised."

"Since he bet with you for an Unreal 4 and lost, the cost of this Unreal 4 will be deducted from his future pocket money." After saying that, Xu Qiu's father took out a box with high-tech packaging from the passenger seat and handed it to Chu Mu.

Looking at the clear "Unreal 4" logo on the box, Chu Mu felt his heartbeat quicken.

He wanted to say something politely to refuse, but was interrupted by Xu's father.

"Student Chu Mu, in my eyes as a father, Xu Qiu's promise is worth far more than 300,000 yuan."

"Thank you Uncle Xu and Xu Qiu." Chu Mu knew that if he refused again it would be an insult, so he had to accept it.

Seeing Chu Mu accept it, Father Xu smiled again, "I often hear Xu Qiu mention you. It's good for excellent classmates to communicate more and promote each other."

"Uncle has something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, Father Xu got in the car and left quickly.

Chu Mu was silent for a moment and looked at Xu Qiu.

"He was just being polite." Xu Qiu said with a straight face, turning around and walking into the school gate, "I never mentioned you in front of him."

Looking at the other person's back, Chu Mu suddenly smiled.

This family is interesting.

On the other side, Father Xu drove a few hundred meters away and suddenly said, "Call Zhou Huan."

The communicator automatically searches for contacts and initiates a call to Zhou Huan.

A moment later, Zhou Huan's voice came from the other side of the communicator, "My old comrade is so busy, yet he still has time to look for me."

"If you were less rude, I wouldn't mind chatting with you more." Father Xu had a blank expression on his face. "I met that kid named Chu Mu. He's a good prospect. You're lucky."

"Oh?" Zhou Huan's voice was filled with a hint of laughter. "Boss Xu is very generous. He gave me a 4 yuan Unreal Engine as a gift."

“…Do you talk to students like this at school?”

"No." Zhou Huan immediately denied, "As a teacher, I am very serious."

"I really want them to know your true face." Father Xu snorted and ended the call with a faint smile on his face.

A big part of the reason why he paid so readily was that he guessed the sword technique used by Chu Mu from Xu Qiu's description.

Few people know how to use the Yunhong Twin Swords nowadays.
