287: The Jianghu life and death competition, Su Fan's battle to become famous!
Modu First Peoples Hospital.
When Lin Xuan pushed the wheelchair into the ward, he happened to see Su Fan massaging the old man's back.
He positioned the old man's backside towards himself, stacked his hands, and continuously pressed downwards… This scene of an old man and a young man combining was truly a bit unseemly, wasn't it?! Σ(⊙▽⊙"a
Lin Xuan's mouth twitched, and he tried his best to control his almost distorted strange expression.
At this moment, he was incredibly grateful for his decision to teach the Danqing Miaoshou Massage Technique to Su Fan back then.
"Brother Su Fan, hi ✿(.◕‿◕.)✿ You've worked hard."
Lin Xuan greeted him first, a smile on his face.
"Morning."
Su Fan was concise, still maintaining that unapproachable expression.
It was only when his peripheral vision fell on his younger sister that a hint of imperceptible tenderness appeared… "Morning, Su Fan."
Noticing the man's gaze, Su Qingge nodded in acknowledgment, politely returning the greeting.
Although her initial impression of Su Fan was not very good.
But ever since he started coming over to give her grandfather massages whenever he had time, Su Qingge gradually changed her initial impression of him.
What puzzled her, however, was… Su Fan sometimes looked at her with a very strange gaze.
It wasn't the kind of offensive or aggressive look that made her uncomfortable due to her appearance, but rather a kind of… heartache that she couldn't quite explain?
Su Qingge didn't know how to describe it… After all, they didn't know each other before, so his gaze seemed rather inexplicable?!
And what made her feel even stranger was… sometimes, from Su Fan's eyes, she could vaguely see the shadow of a deceased acquaintance, always with a faint sense of familiarity… [Damn it, it seems I haven't rested well lately!]
[I'm starting to hallucinate. They are clearly two unrelated people, how could I be so absurd as to connect them?]
[In this world… there are no two identical flowers…]
[Some people are destined to be unique.]
…Su Qingge closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and swept away the distracting thoughts in her mind.
When she opened her eyes again, her gaze became firm once more.
Although she didn't know why Su Fan harbored goodwill towards them.
But the opponent's strength was considerable; he was a martial artist of Great Achievement of Inner Strength, so naturally, there was value in befriending him.
Perhaps one day in the future, they might still need to utilize Su Fan's power… This was all beneficial to her and Lin Xuan with no harm, so why not?
On the hospital bed.
Su Fan, who was giving the massage, seemed to remember something and suddenly looked up at Lin Xuan and Su Qingge, announcing:
"I might need to leave for a day or two soon; I have some private matters to attend to."
"I will resolve them as quickly as possible and then return to treat Elder Su."
"…"
Hearing this, Su Qingge nodded faintly, neither curious about Su Fan's privacy nor urging him to return quickly.
After all, Su Fan was not related to them; helping was a kindness, not helping was his right.
The fact that he was willing to go to such lengths for her grandfather already made Su Qingge grateful, so she naturally wouldn't be presumptuous.
It was Lin Xuan, on the other hand… after hearing Su Fan's words, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he fell into thought.
"Private matters? Strange? With Brother-in-law's personality… before the old man wakes up, there shouldn't be anything more important than this, should there?"
"At this point in time… wait, could it be?"
"…"
A flash of inspiration struck Lin Xuan's mind, and he slapped his forehead.
He suddenly realized and remembered… The Jianghu Life and Death Arena!!!
To prevent immeasurable damage to the populace from infighting among martial artists, the authorities specifically established the Life and Death Arena for martial artists to resolve their irreconcilable conflicts.
It would determine both superiority and life or death!!!
And this was also Su Fan's famous battle in Modu.
Through this battle, the name of Master Su truly entered the eyes of various major forces in Modu for the first time… "Isn't this typically a stage specifically for the protagonist to show off?"
"After this Jianghu Life and Death Arena, Brother-in-law successfully made an appearance in front of all the big shots."
"From then on, although he would still be mocked by small fry wherever he went?!"
"But every time, a big shot would appear, exclaiming 'Master Su'!!! And then help the protagonist show off and slap faces, scaring the small fries into a panic!"
"I remember this opponent was Martial Arts Grandmaster Jiang Yangping, right?"
"He issued a challenge to avenge his disciple, Fang Mo, who was cut in half by Brother-in-law at the Han Family previously."
"Unfortunately, how could a normal villain ever defeat the protagonist? The outcome was predictable… ultimately becoming a stepping stone for Brother-in-law's fame!"
"…"
After understanding the whole story, Lin Xuan's mouth unconsciously curved into an arc, his eyes filled with interest.
To be honest, he really wanted to witness Su Fan's "famous battle" firsthand… After all, when he read the novel, immersing himself in Su Fan's perspective, it felt very exhilarating and inspiring!!!
Moreover, when he activated the Tie Tie Mirror skill last time, he had a conjecture… could he try to use the mirror skill on other people?!
If he could simultaneously activate and copy/paste power from several people, then perhaps he could achieve an Overlay of strength and speed… In that case, even Su Fan probably wouldn't be able to defeat him, right?!
After all, if the power obtained from Su Fan was 1, after copying and pasting, it would be 1 = 1.
But if he simultaneously copied and used the power of several people… even if their power was far inferior to Su Fan's, then 1+0.01+0.01+0.01+0.01+0.01 ≥ 1.
The more Lin Xuan thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.
Unfortunately, most people in reality are ordinary, and martial artists are incredibly rare.
But the Jianghu Life and Death Arena was different; it would surely gather most of the martial artists currently in the world. Wasn't it the best place for him to "Tie Tie Copy" on a large scale?!
… "Regarding this Life and Death Arena…"
"If I remember correctly, the Tang Family… my sixth Cousin will also die in this incident…"
"Sigh, let's take it one step at a time! If I happen to encounter it, I wouldn't mind saving him once!"
"Speaking of the Tang Family, I wonder how my unfortunate Cousin is doing now?"
"However, with the bodyguards arranged by Old Ma watching over Chu Family Village, I don't think anything major will happen there…"
"…"
