Chapter 1685 - 1771: I Concede
Su Xuan smirked as he spoke, and when he finished, the four people opposite him felt a bit awkward. They thought to themselves, damn, this guy seems pretty skilled, is it really necessary to bet with him?The four brothers obtained four martial arts secret manuals when they were sixteen. They decided to leave the mundane world and retreat to the deep mountains to cultivate. Their willpower was indeed strong, as this cultivation lasted for thirty long years, and the once young men were now entering middle age.
The brothers felt it was time to come down from the mountains to make a name for themselves and establish their own martial arts school. But the first step was to get money, and they happened to encounter someone trying to capture someone else—this guy in question—so they all showed up.
"Alright, I agree with you!"
The man as thin as a bamboo pole said loudly, realizing at that moment that he had no other choice. Su Xuan agreeing to a competition with them was actually a very smart decision.
"Great, should I or you start the first round?"
Su Xuan looked at the four big fools, thinking to himself that if he couldn’t get them to work for him, he’d eat his hat.
These four indeed had some real Kung Fu, honed over forty years. It’s just a pity their brains were simple, which is why Su Xuan came up with this scheme against them.
"Then you go first!"
The bamboo pole-like man quickly said.
"Alright, then how about we compete first?"
Su Xuan said while taking a bag of water from his horse.
"Do you see that little hill ahead? Let’s see who can place the water bag the furthest without touching the ground with their feet. What do you think?"
Su Xuan said with a smile.
"You want to compete in Qinggong with me!"
The thin bamboo-like man exclaimed excitedly.
"You can think of it that way. The rule is that your feet can’t touch the ground. From here is the starting point, and when your feet touch the ground, that’s the finish line!"
"Okay, I’ll go first!"
The thin man was still very excited. To him, this was not too difficult; his main training focus had been on light body skills for decades. With sandbags strapped to himself every day, his Qinggong was naturally far superior to most people’s.
After he said that, the thin guy threw the sandbag from himself to the ground. It looked like the sandbag weighed over fifty pounds, and the others were dumbfounded, thinking damn, isn’t he tired?
"Winner!"
The thin guy gestured to the winner, who nodded, then the man leapt up, indeed as light as a swallow. With one leap, he covered more than three meters. But due to gravity, human flight is impossible, even if Su Xuan’s skills reached the Ancestor Returning level, he couldn’t achieve true flight.
The so-called Qinggong is actually just a form of light body skills. The body is light like a swallow, though it requires leverage. When the slender man was around three meters, he seemed to reach his limit, and as he was about to touch the ground, the winner tossed a wooden plank. The skinny guy quickly tapped his foot on the plank, instantly borrowing force to leap again, ultimately stopping within a six-meter range. That distance was enough to make him stand out since not many could cover six meters.
"Zhu Yeqing, impressive, you really made us proud!"
The winner was extremely excited, then laughed at Su Xuan.
"Kid, to be honest, my brother Zhu Yeqing is best at light body skills, hahaha..."
In the winner’s view, they had already succeeded. When Zhu Yeqing came over, he looked at Su Xuan with a smile.
"Brother, please go ahead!"
Su Xuan smiled faintly, took the water bottle, then mounted his horse. With a pull on the reins, the horse neighed long and then casually trotted across. When it reached the six-meter mark, it stopped, and with a gentle jump, Su Xuan placed the water bottle just beyond six meters on the sand.
"..."
Watching this, everyone was speechless. They were all eager to see how he would display superior light body skills, fully aware of Su Xuan’s strength. But no one expected that his Qinggong was just riding a horse across.
"You... you cheated!"
Looking at Su Xuan, the winner’s face twisted. How could he be so shameless? It was outrageous.
As Su Xuan slowly returned on his horse, he smiled at Zhu Yeqing.
"Did I cheat?"
Zhu Yeqing’s face turned every shade of red and white before he finally said,
"You win. I, Zhu Yeqing, am ashamed to say I’m not as good!"
Zhu Yeqing, being the leader, was naturally more intelligent than the winner, who was more brawn than brains. Su Xuan had clarified one thing: as long as his feet didn’t touch the ground, it was fine. Su Xuan did indeed cross on horseback, never letting his feet touch the ground. Those were the rules; a loss was a loss.
At that moment, Zhu Yeqing understood one thing: having brains is truly impressive. This youth managed to win without breaking a sweat, that was the real skill.
"You... you clearly cheated! It was supposed to be a Qinggong competition!"
The winner still didn’t get it, but Zhu Yeqing interrupted him, saying,
"Say no more. A loss is a loss, there’s nothing more to say!"
Zhu Yeqing was someone who could accept defeat. Su Xuan didn’t mention it was a Qinggong competition; he only said it was about placing the water jug as far as possible without touching the ground.
"Let’s have another round!"
The winner was still not convinced, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn’t decide what to compete in. He had initially wanted to challenge Su Xuan in swordsmanship. He had trained for thirty years with a nearly two-hundred-pound heavy sword, his strength was formidable. But after witnessing Su Xuan’s skillful display with that forty-meter longsword, he was aghast. Who would dare go up against that skill? It’s sheer nonsense.
"What do you want to compete in then?"
Su Xuan asked curiously.
"I... let’s see who can pee the farthest!"
The winner was at a loss, blurting out such a ridiculous challenge, leaving everyone speechless with disbelief, thinking, damn, what kind of nonsense is that?
Zhu Yeqing’s face turned red with embarrassment. This brother of his was too shameless.
"Compete in peeing farthest?"
