Chapter Thirty-Six: A Talent of Both Letters and Arms

  "Tonight at 12 o'clock, updates will be released simultaneously with the opening of the Add-on Conference. Five high-rise buildings will be set up, and 500 high-quality items will be distributed first. Welcome to the scene! After reading, please leave your recommendation votes for Xianyun, thank you!"

  "Ah, Xiao Yi..." As soon as Su Jingyi saw the person who suddenly rescued Lu Dinghai, she was the first to exclaim in surprise. In her excitement, the girl rushed forward three steps at a time, not caring that there were so many people around. She grabbed Chu Yu's sleeve and pulled him back, "Xiao Yi, don't cause trouble! The principal, the dean of studies, and so many teachers are all here, let's go quickly."

  Chu Yu responded to Su Jingyi's concern with a gentle smile, leaning in close to her ear and whispering: "Don't worry, when have you ever seen me at a disadvantage? It's fine, just listen to me, first go stand aside and watch, after it's all over we'll go out for dinner together."

  Su Jingyi had seen Chu Yu's prowess just a week ago, and with the various talents he had shown in recent days, the little girl developed an inexplicable trust in her first love. The small hand holding onto Chu Yu's hem gradually loosened its grip, but still didn't move away, a pair of big, shining eyes looking at Chu Yu as if wanting to persuade him further.

  "So many people are watching, Xiao Jing is the most obedient, listening to me." Chu Yu had used this way of coaxing children to deal with Su Jingyi, and it had been successful more than once.

  As expected, Su Jingyi finally realized that almost the entire school was watching from the sidelines. Her small face turned bright red with embarrassment. "Then you can't be stubborn... I'll give you five minutes, I'll wait for you at the school gate..." She quickly said a sentence of advice and suddenly darted into the crowd and ran away.

  At this time a slightly rough voice sounded, "Little boy, why are you disturbing my duel with someone." The speaker was Lu Dinghai, who was staring at Chu Yu with an angry gaze.

  "With your limited skills, you're already almost defeated, what right do you have to be arrogant?"

  Chu Yu Lian glanced at Lu Ding Hai with no interest, shrugged and said: "Wait for a moment, I'll deal with the Korean stick first, then come back to talk to you."

  Infuriated by Lu Dinghai's "young man", Chu Yu hadn't let go of his collar, and with a slight exertion of force, he sent him flying several meters away, landing on his butt and falling flat on the ground.

  "Shut up! Just because you've learned a few ancient-style boxing moves and practiced qigong for a few years doesn't mean you have the capital to be arrogant."

  Lu Dinghai, who was about to get up and lose his temper, was stunned by Chu Yu's two sentences. After standing up, he didn't move, with his two thick and coarse eyebrows knotted together, deep in thought, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.

  After finishing off Lu Dinghai, Chu Yu turned to Park Jeong-eun, who was now looking at him with an extremely puzzled gaze. "Don't look anymore, I'll let you attack first for ten moves. If the eleventh move can't defeat me, I'll admit that Taekwondo is Korea's original creation."

  It turns out that Chu Yu's reason for saving Lu Dinghai was also because he was extremely annoyed by Pu Zhengyin's exaggerated words, how can a person be shameless to this extent, let alone a country.

  Korea is indeed shameless, with their red mouths and white teeth, they recklessly claim China's exclusive things as their own, this is simply lawless!

  Chu Yu's words were always simple and clear, but this sentence was blurted out at the same time, and it brought a shout of surprise from Principal Huang. Although Principal Huang was surprised that Xiao Yi, the top student in all six subjects, had such great strength to lift up a tall man of 1.85 meters, it was obvious that Chu Yu's words to Pak Jong-eun were even more unacceptable. "Xiao Yi, you must pay attention to your influence, Mr. Pak is a friend from Korea and also a guest invited by our school..."

  "Principal, you can consider this a martial arts exchange between China and Korea." Chu Yu responded casually, once again casting his gaze at Park Jeong-eun, whose eyes were shining with determination at this moment. "The opportunity is yours, make sure to seize it well."

  Park Jeong-eum was about to burst his lungs at this moment. First, he had a draw with a young and inexperienced fighter, which already made him lose face. Finally having an opportunity to defeat the opponent with one move, it was ruined by a younger-looking, pale and extremely handsome boy. What's even more infuriating is that this boy in front of him has an arrogant tone that knows no bounds, daring to say that he will let Park have ten moves first before defeating him with just one move. What kind of world is this?!

  "Unless he's the reincarnation of Zhang Sanfeng, otherwise today I've been bullied by a bigger guy and I must vent this anger in my heart." Having been provoked repeatedly, Park Jeong-eun, who was originally proud and arrogant, had a tendency to go berserk.

  "It's all your own doing." As soon as the words fell, Park Jeong-eum had already launched a powerful and swift kick, with his body bent in a perfect curve, aiming straight for Chu Yu's face. This move also elicited a chorus of gasps from the onlookers, with some timid female students even turning their backs, unable to bear witness to the moment when Chu Yu would be kicked in the crotch.

  "Don't judge a person by appearance." Chu Yuhan let out a cold snort, his shoulders slightly swaying, and from an ordinary person's visual angle, it seemed as if his body hadn't moved at all. Yet, he somehow managed to dodge Park Jeong-eun's powerful kick that was supposed to land with certainty, making it feel like Park had intentionally pulled back just before hitting Chu Yuhan in the face.

  "It didn't seem like that Korean person had a bad heart, it was just to scare Xiao Shuai's classmate." said a girl who witnessed the scene.

  "But Xiao is really bold! Although the Korean didn't kick him, he can still face such pressure. If it were me, I would have turned around and run away already." The high school student who seemed to be the girl's boyfriend chimed in.

  "I think Xiao Yi was probably scared stupid and didn't have time to react before running away, right?" a nearby boy said with an air of self-importance.

  After all, the teachers and students who were watching the battle around them did not have Chu Yu's keen six senses. They had not heard that shameless remark made by Pu Zhengyin when he coldly ridiculed Lu Dinghai earlier. Otherwise, it was estimated that even if Chu Yu didn't make a move, a group of teachers and students rushing forward would be enough to knock this Goryeo stick down.

  But it's normal that many teachers and students can't see the situation clearly, but as the person involved, Park Jeong-eun was shocked and amazed in his heart. With the advantage of his refined energy, Park Jeong-eun's eyesight was also several times stronger than ordinary people, but even so, he could only vaguely see that one of his legs was about to kick Chu Yu's face when the latter made a quick side-step that was difficult for the naked eye to discern. Moreover, in the instant after completing this movement, he returned to his original position, making it seem to those with insufficient eyesight that Chu Yu hadn't moved at all.

  Park Jeong-eum's mind flashed with a shocking thought, and then he quickly closed in on Chu Yu, his fists striking the latter's chest and abdomen. The range of the attack was extremely wide, making it impossible to dodge without moving one's feet. "Let's see how you'll avoid this one."

  Chu Yu's mouth still had a slight smile of disdain, which made Park Jeong-eun, who was watching him, get angry and use 100% of his strength. The sound of the fist wind could be faintly heard, and Chu Yu's more than 20 years of qigong practice did have some power after all.

  At the moment when the two fists were about to collide, Chu Yu suddenly lifted one foot off the ground and his body tilted in a way that defied the laws of physics, spinning 360 degrees. Park Jeong-eun's fists closely brushed against Chu Yu's clothes but never actually landed on him.

  But after a strange spin, Chu Yu still didn't move half an inch, only the contempt in his expression became even stronger.

  The next time, it almost became a solo performance by Chu Yu. No matter how Pak Chong-eun attacked, Chu Yu never moved more than half a point from his original position, giving the illusion that Pak Chong-eun was performing in perfect harmony with Chu Yu.

  "Ten moves... after all, outsiders are outsiders, how can they understand the profound meaning of our great nation's martial arts..." At the same time as Chu Yu's calm and collected voice sounded, not to mention the onlookers, even Pu Zhengyin himself didn't see clearly what was happening, only feeling a surge of great force striking his chest, unable to distinguish whether it was Chu Yu's fist or leg. His whole body had already flown out uncontrollably, heavily crashing down five meters away.

  "After half a year of recuperation, you, this Korean stick, might still have hope for recovery... I won't bother with you, this Korean stick, if you just learn a few basic Chinese kung fu moves on the sly. But taking them out to show off is where you're wrong, let's give you a lesson and make you remember."

  Chu Yu finished speaking and didn't wait for Pak Chung-eum, who was trembling with fear, to react. He walked out directly, and all the teachers and students on the way couldn't help but make way for him when he approached.

  "Xiao Yi, you... your behavior today is really too much... stop right there." Principal Huang saw that the Pak Chung-yun he had invited with great effort was beaten by his own school's genius student until he was disheveled. Isn't this a clear case of not giving him face and promoting campus violence? A student as stubborn as this, even if they are first in all six subjects, must be given some punishment, at the very least a major demerit.

  "I still have something on, let's talk about it later."

  To be honest, Chu Yu had long been unwilling to continue carrying the identity of a student, so he didn't need to explain much to Principal Huang who was catching up. As many teachers and students were still in shock from Chu Yu's behavior just now, they gave way on the road, and Chu Yu walked very quickly. By the time Principal Huang caught up, he was blocked by the crowd.

  Seeing that he couldn't catch up, and Chu Yu was ignoring him again, Principal Huang felt greatly provoked. "Director Chen, immediately contact Xiao Yi's parents and have them come to the school once. This child disrespects his teachers and promotes violence; no matter how good his grades are, it's useless."

  The Dean of Studies responded with a "yes" and ran back to the teaching building to look up the phone book. He was also stunned by Chu Yu's series of actions. In his decades-long teaching career, he had never seen such an impressive student! Not only did he not listen to the principal's words, but he also dared to beat up a sixth-degree black belt taekwondo instructor in front of all the teachers and students. Although everything felt unbelievable, it was indeed true. Was Xiao Yi that child really the legendary literary and martial arts genius?

  Just then, Su Jingyi ran over from the vendor selling candied hawthorns in front of the school gate, her small hands holding two strings of candied hawthorns. She came to Chu Yu's side and handed him one string with a smile, "I'm treating you, try it and see if it's sweet."

  He gladly accepted the sugar gourd, and Chu Yu looked at the lovely and innocent "little girlfriend" in front of him, his heart warming up. "Let's go, you treat me to sugar gourd, I'll treat you to dinner."

  Su Jingyi blinked her bright eyes and smiled: "Okay, but we won't go to an expensive place. I'll choose where to eat."

  Su Jingyi knew that Chu Yu was trying to save money for himself, so he couldn't help but shake his head and say: "Suit yourself, but I've warned you, street stalls are off-limits. If you get food poisoning and hurt your little belly, I'll be heartbroken."

  "Can I go with you?" A hoarse voice suddenly came from behind the young man and woman, surprisingly it was Lu Dinghai who had just been rescued by Chu Yu and cold-shouldered.
