41: One-on-one

Mountain Shatterer!

Lin Xiu blocked Huzai's incoming punches with both hands, then spun around and flung his arm, making Huzai stumble.

Immediately after, Lin Xiu closed in, lowered his shoulder, then abruptly raised it to strike Huzai in the ribs.

A sharp pain assailed Huzai, his face instantly contorted, and after crashing to the ground, he struggled several times but couldn't get up.

"Huzai."

Xiaolong never dreamed that Lin Xiu could win. "Lin Xiu, I've changed my mind now. Three hundred mission points for one White Carp, how does that sound?"

"Coincidentally, I originally didn't want to help you fish, but now I've also changed my mind," Lin Xiu said with a smile.

If only I had given more mission points earlier.

Xiaolong mistakenly thought Lin Xiu was swayed by the mission points, feeling a bit regretful that he had been too greedy earlier, otherwise Huzai wouldn't have been injured.

He urged Lin Xiu, "Since you've agreed, then hurry up and fish. I'm waiting for it."

"Wait, what did I agree to?" Lin Xiu was puzzled; he hadn't even stated his conditions yet.

"Didn't you say you changed your mind?" Xiaolong showed a hint of anger, feeling like a puppy being teased.

"Indeed, I did change it."

Lin Xiu's gaze swept over Xiaolong and the other person. "But I haven't finished speaking. The change of mind I had is that if the two of you team up and can defeat me, I'll help you fish for this White Carp today for free. Not a single mission point."

"You want to take on both of us?" Xiaolong suspected his ears were playing tricks on him, turning to exchange glances with the other person.

The other person nodded, indicating that he had also heard Lin Xiu's words.

Looking back at Lin Xiu, Xiaolong clenched his fist. "This was your own suggestion. Don't blame your senior for being too ruthless if you lose later."

Before he finished speaking, Xiaolong charged towards Lin Xiu, with the other person close behind.

Both were Seven-Star Dou Zhe (Fighter)s. As they rushed towards Lin Xiu together, a sense of pressure naturally arose.

His heart began to accelerate, his blood gradually boiled. Lin Xiu felt the changes occurring in his body, from the inside out, under the pressure.

His emotions became even more excited. He charged towards the two, and the three immediately became embroiled in a chaotic fight.

Not far away.

Hu Qian and Old Huo exchanged glances, both seeing a flicker of confusion in each other's eyes.

Are young people this fierce nowadays?

"Hu Qian, don't you think this kid Lin Xiu is a bit reckless?" Old Huo smacked his lips, watching the three fighting with great interest.

"I suspect there's another meaning to your words."

Hu Qian glared at him, but Old Huo kept his eyes fixed ahead, not paying any attention. "In my opinion, this is clearly the youthful exuberance unique to young people."

A person who isn't audacious in youth lives in vain!

With rich practical combat experience as support, his own strength not being weak, and being a newly enrolled student.

How could such a person be easily suppressed by older students?

From the bottom of his heart, Hu Qian actually hoped to see more students like Lin Xiu in the academy.

Only with competition can there be Breakthrough. Although the academy is not a Sect, there must be competition for other students to strive to become stronger.

"Youthful exuberance? Hmph, I think it's more like you when you were young, brainless."

Old Huo sarcastically remarked to Hu Qian, "Even if he wants to provoke the other two, he should at least rest a bit and let his internal Qi recover. With him fighting continuously now, those two are already preparing to deal with Lin Xiu through attrition."

"Nonsense, this kid Lin Xiu is cunning. Maybe he deliberately provoked them because he has a backup plan." Being ridiculed by Old Huo, Hu Qian naturally had to contradict him.

Although Hu Qian also felt that Lin Xiu's actions were a bit rash and overly impulsive in his heart.

But he didn't say that out loud.

He tricked me into giving him a Mystic-Rank Combat Skill for fishing earlier; he doesn't seem like an impulsive person at all.

"Backup plan? You want to talk about your Ben Lei Palm, why not just say it directly instead of beating around the bush?" Old Huo sneered disdainfully.

"That's right, that's exactly what I'm thinking. As long as Lin Xiu can grasp two or three Profound Truths of the Ben Lei Palm, dealing with two Seven-Star Dou Zhe (Fighter)s is not a big problem."

Hu Qian and Old Huo were close, and they had bickered a lot when they were young.

At this moment, regarding Lin Xiu's matter, both of them got fired up and were at loggerheads.

"You can fantasize all you want. Mystic-Rank Fighting Skill are inherently difficult to master, let alone an explosive Fighting Skill like Ben Lei Palm." Old Huo didn't believe it at all.

In his mind, even if Hu Qian had given Lin Xiu a few pointers before, the Ben Lei Palm might not be mastered so quickly.

Hey, my temper!

Hu Qian grabbed Old Huo's shoulder, making him face himself. "Do you want to make a bet with me?"

"Bet on what?" Old Huo stood his ground.

"Let's bet on whether Lin Xiu can use the Ben Lei Palm." Hu Qian was greatly angered by Old Huo's condescending attitude.

Old Huo said, "Okay, what's the stake?"

"If I win, you refine a bottle of Meridian-Opening Medicinal Pill for me," Hu Qian said.

The Meridian-Opening Medicinal Pill is a third-grade Medicinal Pill, primarily used to expand Meridians and incidentally assist in Realm Breakthrough.

These days, Hu Jia has been running around everywhere, and Hu Qian couldn't do anything about her. If he could get a Meridian-Opening Medicinal Pill, it could help Hu Jia temporarily focus on Cultivating.

This way, he could also worry a little less.

"Fine, if I win, you're not allowed to come to my place for meals anymore," Old Huo said.

"It's just eating some of your fish, is it that big a deal?" Hu Qian was a bit speechless at Old Huo's stinginess.

"Is it that big a deal? Is it that big a deal! You don't pay for the collaborative Medicinal Pill, so of course you don't feel it." Old Huo snorted twice, shaking Hu Qian's hand off his shoulder.

The two stopped talking, their gazes turning to the battle not far away.

"Lin Xiu, you don't have much internal Qi left, do you? How dare you challenge both of us alone. Are you regretting it now?"

Xiaolong attacked while verbally taunting, a smug look in the corner of his eye.

From his skirmish with Huzai, he could tell that Lin Xiu had very rich combat experience.

But he didn't plan to suppress him head-on to defeat Lin Xiu.

Instead, he adopted a strategy of attrition through a rotating attack.

No matter how strong Lin Xiu's practical combat experience was, there was one thing Lin Xiu couldn't ignore.

That is, Lin Xiu is a new student?

What is a new student? Someone who has just enrolled not long ago!

These people often have one characteristic: their own strength is not strong.

As long as they keep wearing him down and don't give Lin Xiu a chance, he will eventually lose.

Once his Qi is depleted, how to deal with him will be entirely up to their own whims.

"Indeed, not much left, but it's still enough to deal with the two of you."

Lin Xiu adopted a stance, turning his head left and right, looking at the two with a rather troubled expression.

Opportunities to find Fighters stronger than himself to spar with are not common.

Fighting Huzai earlier, Lin Xiu indeed tasted the sweetness, gaining a lot of experience from him.

He originally wanted the other two to attack together, to bring him greater pressure and thus gain more experience.

He didn't expect these two guys to play tricks and engage him in a war of attrition.

How boring.

Your junior is pouring his heart out to you, and you're playing mind games with him.

If that's the case, then don't blame your junior for being impolite!

A hint of regret flashed in Lin Xiu's eyes. If his internal Qi continued to be consumed, it indeed wouldn't support using the Ben Lei Palm twice.

After all, he couldn't help people fish for White Carp for free!

More importantly, the previous attitude of these three had solidified Lin Xiu's decision not to help them fish.
