From breaking the limits of the White Ape Fist to becoming a martial arts saint.

Chapter 149 Red Tail Golden Carp

As Kong Jia collapsed unconscious, an eerie silence fell over the entire street.

The remaining members of the Golden Jade Guard stared in shock at Kong Jia, who had collapsed unconscious on the ground. They were all dumbfounded, their backs soaked with cold sweat.

impossible!

Captain Kong couldn't even withstand a single move from Su Yu!

You should know that Commander Kong has a secondary acupoint, while Su Yu only has a primary acupoint.

No, no, no, he must have broken through to the second level of acupoints, otherwise he wouldn't be so powerful.

But it's the same secondary acupoint, yet it was able to instantly kill Captain Kong. The difference is just too great.

Everyone's eyes turned tremblingly to Su Yu in the center of the arena.

Su Yu ignored the others and walked straight up to Song Jing and the others.

The two Golden Jade Guard warriors on guard were so frightened that they jumped back immediately, not daring to stop them at all.

"Lord Su—"

As Song Jing watched Su Yu personally untie his ropes, his throat went dry, and his heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

Has your strength improved so much, sir?

He felt that every time he saw an adult make a move, it would shatter his understanding of the world. Was this the true genius or prodigy?

"Are you badly injured?" Su Yu asked with concern.

"Don't worry, sir! It's just a minor injury; it'll heal in a few days!" Song Jing straightened his back and answered loudly, his eyes filled with fervor.

To serve such a promising person, this minor injury is worth it!

"Okay, untie them and take them to the clinic first."

Nearby, Yuan An, Yuan Shui, and Luo Longyu were also untied from their ropes.

The three exchanged a glance, their eyes practically overflowing with awe. When Master Qin had sent them to seek refuge, they were grateful and respectful, but in their hearts, they only felt that Lord Su had a bright future ahead of him, and that he was currently just an ordinary captain.

However, witnessing Su Yu's actions this time completely changed his mind.

This Senior Brother Su is simply a prodigy. He is someone everyone should look up to now, not just someone to be admired in the future!

At this moment, their loyalty to Su Yu was so unwavering and fanatical that it was an incredible opportunity for them to have such a monstrous senior brother by their side!

On the second floor of a distant restaurant, several figures, each with a different expression, had taken in the entire scene.

"That's interesting."

The pretty young woman stood by the railing, playing with the ends of her hair that hung down to her chest. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Judging from this kid's age, he's at most eighteen or nineteen, yet he's already broken through to the second acupoint, and his explosive power is astonishing. This Black Stone City isn't all trash after all."

However, she then curled her lips into a proud smile and snorted, "Unfortunately, you're still far inferior to me."

"With that level of skill, if he were to face me, he wouldn't last three moves!"

The middle-aged man leading the group, carrying a long sword, nodded with a deep gaze. He didn't think his daughter was arrogant or conceited. "Go back and investigate the situation of these martial arts schools. Pick a few with a good reputation, and you and Pingzhi will teach them a lesson one by one."

"Yes, Master!"

The young man in blue behind him responded respectfully, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes.

On the other side of the teahouse.

Kou Xun stared intently at Su Yu's departing figure, his hand crushing the teacup into powder.

What a shrewd Su Yu!

He has already broken through to the second acupoint in such a short time. His talent and strength have indeed surpassed Sun Shi's. It is no wonder that Sun Shi died at his hands.

However, you've revealed too much of your strength; you're going to die!

The following day, the Prefectural Government.

Just as Su Yu had predicted, the incident did not escalate; instead, it subsided quickly.

Kong Jia was seriously injured and admitted to the hospital. Zou Wentao, the deputy commander of the Golden Jade Guard, came to the hospital in a huff to demand an explanation, but he was forced back by Lin Wanzhu before he could even see Su Yu.

"Commander Zou, Kong Jia is inferior in skill and provoked first, so he deserved to be beaten."

Lin Wanzhu, dressed in military uniform, exuded a heroic aura. She sneered, "What? The younger one lost, and the older one still wants to come knocking on the door to settle scores?"

If this matter reaches the lord of the manor, who do you think will be the one who loses face?

Zou Wentao's face turned ashen.

The four commanders of the Security Bureau each governed their own areas, relying on their own abilities to make a living. Kong Jia, who held the same position and was at the same level, was defeated by someone with a single punch during a sparring match. He had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.

"Good, good, good! Su Yu has guts! I'll remember him!" Zou Wentao said harshly and left in a huff.

-

After this battle, Su Yu's reputation spread considerably throughout the prefecture.

The Yang family's business quickly returned to normal, and Yang Gang and the others who had been arrested by the Golden Jade Guards were also brought out by Su Yu's men that same day.

The sun was shining brightly on a winter afternoon.

Su Yu was practicing martial arts in the training ground when Yang Ai, like a fluttering butterfly, ran in from the doorway, lifting her skirt.

"Brother Su! I've come on behalf of the Yang family to thank you!"

She waved at Su Yu, and without waiting for his response, she directed the two servants carrying wooden buckets behind her as if she were in her own home: "Quickly! Put this precious fish into the Yin-Yang Lotus Pond in the backyard, and be careful!"

Seeing her excited expression, Su Yu shook his head helplessly.

A short while later, Yang Ai returned to the front yard with two servants, gave them a few words of advice, and then let them go back to the Yang family on their own.

With her hands behind her back, a charming smile on her pretty face, she gracefully strolled over to Su Yu.

"Brother Su?"

Su Yu was in the final few moves of the White Ape Fist and didn't have time to pay attention to her, continuing his practice.

Seeing that Su Yu ignored her, Yang Ai pouted, looking somewhat unhappy, and sat down on the stone bench next to her to wait.

Su Yu fought for a while longer and finally finished the White Ape Fist.

[White Ape Fist Proficiency +15]

I've already had fifteen injections today, and without the precious medicine, it's hard to keep going.

The precious medicine from the Cai family won't arrive until tomorrow, so he has to stop and rest for now.

He washed his face and body by the well, put on a dry shirt, and went to the stone table. There he saw Yang Ai resting her chin on her hands, her eyelids drooping.

He chuckled and flicked the girl's forehead, causing her to cry out in pain and open her eyes.

"Brother Su! Are you done practicing?"

Yang Ai excitedly got up and hugged Su Yu's arm tightly.

"Instead of practicing martial arts with me, why are you sleeping here?"

Yang Ai immediately stuck out her pink tongue, looking embarrassed. "Brother Su, my Qi and blood are about to be perfected. I'm waiting for the opportunity to break through to the Martial Artist level. I won't have to keep practicing now."

"Come to the backyard and take a look. We bought a really good treasure fish. Will it help you?"

Yang Ai took Su Yu's arm, and the two went to the lotus pond in the backyard.

Su Yu looked inside and saw that the Yin-Yang Lotus Pond, which had been renovated, was shrouded in mist.

In the warm waters of Yangchi, a golden-red shadow is swimming merrily.

It was a golden carp about two feet long.

Its entire body is covered with scales that shimmer like gold, reflecting a dazzling golden light in the sunlight. Most amazing of all is its tail fin, which is a vibrant, luscious crimson red. When it moves, it resembles a flame burning in the water, and wherever it passes, a faint white smoke rises from the surface.

The two whiskers around its mouth were extremely long, flowing like dragon whiskers, exuding an extraordinary spirituality.

"Red tail golden carp, what a treasure fish!"

Su Yu recognized it at a glance. It was a treasure fish that was said to possess a trace of dragon blood after returning to its ancestral form. It was extremely yang in nature and could greatly replenish qi and blood. Its value was no less than that of the Frost Bass.

"Where did you get this?"

Seeing Su Yu's admiring expression, Yang Ai's eyes flashed with joy. "We had people waiting at the Heihe Ferry dock for ages to snatch this! It cost us over five hundred taels of silver!"

"Thank you! This fish is indeed very beneficial to me."

"That's great!" Yang Ai seemed very happy to be able to help Su Yu. "Brother Su, I'll have people keep buying these treasure fish and sending them to you from now on."

"There's no need to go to such lengths. The value of this fish already exceeds our agreed-upon profit sharing and monthly salary." Su Yu shook his head. He was unwilling to take advantage of others too much, as this was not the way to maintain a long-term relationship.

"Brother Su, what kind of talk is that!" Yang Ai was displeased and hugged his arm tightly. The soft touch made Su Yu's arm stiffen slightly.

"Father said the Yang family is still able to do business in Blackstone City entirely thanks to you. Like the Qian family, their shops are still locked up; we've taken over all their business. This little bit of money is nothing compared to your kindness!"

At this point, Yang Ai suddenly fell silent.

She lowered her head, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and her cheeks flushed red at a visible speed.

"And also—Brother Su—"

Her voice was barely audible.

"Our gratitude to you—we always feel it's not enough."

Su Yu was stunned and hadn't reacted yet.

Suddenly, Yang Ai stood on tiptoe, closed her eyes, and her two warm, soft red lips, like a dragonfly skimming the water, pressed against Su Yu's cheek.

"Chirp."

It has a warm, smooth texture and a sweet, youthful scent that dissolves upon contact.

"Brother Su—this is also—an extra gift for you!"

After saying that, Yang Ai's face was so red it looked like it was about to bleed. She didn't dare look at Su Yu's reaction and turned to run away like a frightened little rabbit.

She stopped at the hanging flower gate, turned back and stole a tender glance at Su Yu. Seeing him smile slightly, she left happily.
