Chapter 60 The King of Red Oil Fish! Mo Yuan!
A few days later, things were calm on the Water Snake Gang's side. Cao Bin's death was like a pebble thrown into a deep pool, not even causing a ripple.
Until Luo Yuan came to the door.
White Ape Martial Arts School, Su Yu's room.
With a broad smile, Luo Yuan pushed over a specially made wooden box and then cheerfully accepted the black porcelain bottle handed to him by Su Yu.
Upon opening the bottle and seeing the black substance inside, a flicker of greed and apprehension crossed his eyes before he quickly put it away.
"Brother Su is a straightforward person. However..."
Luo Yuan lowered his voice, adopting a sincere tone: "Brother, let me say something. Although Cao Bin is a nobody in the gang, he has a godfather named Cao Yuanshan, who is not someone to be trifled with. He's a hall master in the gang, a master of the Body Refining Realm, and his methods are ruthless. You killed Cao Bin, so this feud is now firmly established. Be very careful!"
Su Yu sipped his tea, his expression calm: "Thank you for the reminder, Brother Luo. We'll deal with whatever comes our way."
It was unexpected that Cao Bin had a godfather, but there was no need to worry too much. If he really wanted to avenge Cao Bin, that was fine too, since he now had the White Ape Martial Arts School backing him up.
This is the benefit of joining a martial arts school: having a circle and influence provides opportunities and protection for you to become stronger.
Su Yu got up and opened the wooden box. A scorching heat rushed out, as if the box contained a ball of fire.
"Brother Su, it's best to eat this red oil fish king on the same day; it's very nourishing for your blood and energy! Then I'll take my leave now..."
After Cao Bin left, Su Yu examined the Red Oil Fish King carefully once again.
The fish was about three feet long, its entire body covered in dark red, blood-jade scales with edges as sharp as knives. Most astonishing was the towering fleshy crest on its back, so red it seemed to drip with blood, with a faint, flowing halo visible inside, as if magma was surging beneath its flesh.
"nice one!"
"No wonder this fish king is also called Crimson Blood Demon; ordinary red oil fish can't compare to it at all."
"However, this precious fish is quite valuable, and it's hard to gain weight by eating it alone. We need to do a good deed."
He thought for a moment and then went to call Senior Brother Xu.
Senior Brother Xu initially wanted to refuse, but he couldn't resist Su Yu's enthusiasm and finally agreed to come.
In the backyard kitchen, smoke and steam rose from the hot pot.
Aunt Liu personally took charge of cooking, making sashimi from the most prized back meat of the king fish, and simmering the remaining head and bones into a thick soup that was milky white with a hint of red. She also stir-fried a few side dishes.
"Big sister, I've saved this fish for you. You must take it home and eat it while it's hot."
"You're so kind, young man. But this fish is too valuable; just let me have a taste." In the end, Aunt Liu only took a small piece of the precious fish and left.
The rest, Su Yu and Senior Brother Xu toasted and enjoyed themselves.
The fish meat melts in your mouth, smooth and chewy, instantly transforming into a scalding hot current that rushes straight to your stomach.
Su Yu felt his pores open up and his blood and qi surge like boiling water, and the fatigue from days of hard training was swept away.
[Progress towards breaking the limit +1%]
Wow, this Red Oil Fish King not only increased my Qi and Blood by a lot, but the overflowing energy also directly increased my progress in breaking through limits.
"Senior Brother Xu, let's eat together!"
Xu Feng nodded, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating with them.
……
We were full and satisfied.
Senior Brother Xu gave most of the treasure fish meat to Su Yu.
At this moment, Su Yu's blood and qi surged, and his face turned red.
"Junior Brother Su, go practice your martial arts. I'll head home now."
After seeing off Senior Brother Xu, Su Yu felt his internal energy was about to burst, so he quickly went to the training ground to start practicing martial arts.
[White Ape Fist Proficiency +20]
[White Ape Fist Proficiency +20]
……
Time flies, and another month has passed in the blink of an eye.
With the dual nourishment of the treasure fish and the elixir, Su Yu's progress accelerated significantly over the past month.
In the training ground, Su Yu finished his White Ape Fist and brought up the panel.
[Martial Arts]: White Ape Fist (Level 1) (Entry-level 2000/5000)
[Martial Arts]: Spirit Ape Demon-Subduing Blade (Level 1) (Entry-level 1800/3000)
[Martial Arts]: White Ape Six Transformations (Limit Break 1 Time)
[Martial Arts]: Azure Wave Fishbone Skill (Proficiency 1/300)
[Martial Arts]: Money Throw (Perfect)
[Breakthrough Point]: 0 points (Progress 75%)
"The White Ape Fist has already surpassed 2000 proficiency points. In less than two months, it will break through to a new level!"
"My progress with the Spirit Ape Demon-Subduing Blade is approaching 2000. My swordsmanship has improved significantly compared to a month ago. If I could have more real combat experience, the improvement rate would be even faster!"
Su Yu's gaze fell on the last column of martial arts.
[Martial Arts]: Money Throw (Perfect)
With a flick of his wrist, an ordinary locust stone appeared at his fingertips.
"Buzz!"
The pebble spun rapidly between his fingertips, producing a sharp, whistling sound.
Square and round, spiral, listening to the wind, and penetrating the back—four forces combined into one.
"His concealed weapon technique has now reached a state of perfection; even a flying flower or a plucked leaf can injure someone. In combat, it's virtually impossible to defend against, significantly enhancing his fighting power. It can be used as a trump card!"
Su Yu was very satisfied with his progress. Now his martial arts training was finally on the right track and he was no longer struggling as before.
He spends two hours each day practicing the White Ape Fist to improve his cultivation level, and spends most of the remaining time practicing the Spirit Ape Demon Subduing Blade. After perfecting the Money Throwing technique, he can now also practice another martial art.
Do you want to learn the Black Tiger Door-Severing Saber technique?
That swordsmanship is at best a mid-level martial art, far inferior to the Spirit Ape Subduing Demon Blade, and not worth the time investment.
Let's see if we can learn another martial art! Preferably one that's defensive or focuses on movement and speed, to make up for our weaknesses!
Judging by the time, that precious sword should be ready by now!
Thinking of this, Su Yu felt a surge of excitement. With his current Demon Subduing Blade Technique and a suitable treasured blade, his strength would leap to the top level after a single acupoint enhancement!
……
Iron Hoof Lane, Wang's Blacksmith Shop.
Su Yu's gaze fell on a long sword placed on the table in front of him.
The knife remained unsheathed, its entire body jet black, lying there silently, yet exuding a chillingly sharp aura.
"Look at this, Brother Su."
Su Yu couldn't wait to step forward and gripped the hilt of the knife with one hand.
"rise!"
He exerted a little force, but his eyebrows twitched.
Shen!
This knife doesn't look heavy, but it's actually much heavier than I imagined!
If he hadn't already been a martial artist with his qi and blood flowing through his limbs, he probably wouldn't have been able to lift it at all.
"Clang!"
The long sword was drawn, and a chill instantly filled the entire shop.
The blade is long and straight, its entire surface a deep, pure, dark black. Countless extremely fine silver lines flow across this dark background, like lightning flashing on a stormy night.
Hundred-layer cloud pattern, black background with silver threads!
The blade, after being carburized and crystallized by iron bone powder, has a translucent, diamond-like texture that is chillingly cold and painful to look at.
"A fine knife!"
Su Yu couldn't help but admire.
"This sword is three feet seven inches long and weighs one hundred and eight jin!" Wang Tieyan introduced from the side, his tone quite proud. "It was refined thousands of times using a full hundred jin of black refined iron, then layered with snow-white silver threads and forged over a thousand layers before finally taking shape! This sword is exceptionally sharp and extremely dense; only a martial artist with strong qi and blood can wield it!"
"Three feet seven inches, one hundred and eight pounds!"
Each of these numbers far exceeds what ordinary people can use, but for Su Yu, who cultivates the Spirit Ape Demon Subduing Blade, it couldn't be more perfect.
Su Yu took a deep breath, gripped the hilt of the knife with both hands, and his blood and qi erupted.
"open!"
He swung his sword suddenly.
"Ugh!"
The dark blade tore through the air, emitting a deep, thunderous hiss.
This knife possesses both agile sharpness and an overbearing, demon-subduing intent to shatter everything!
It's truly perfect for the Spirit Ape Demon-Subduing Blade!
"Brother Su, let's give this knife a name."
Su Yu stroked the cold blade with obvious affection, then pondered for a moment, "This blade is as black as ink and as sharp as an abyss, let's call it Ink Abyss!"
"Mo Yuan...what a wonderful name!"
Wang Tieyan gave a thumbs-up and then handed over the black scabbard.
"This scabbard is made of ten-year-aged ironwood and black water dragon skin, and it has a hilt, scabbard opening, and darts. It is most suitable for Mo Yuan."
Su Yu took it and found that the scabbard was covered with a tough leather, solid to the touch, cool and non-slip. The dark bronze fittings at both ends were simple and heavy, without any superfluous patterns, only exuding a solemn and murderous aura!
With a flick of his wrist, he twirled the long sword in his hand.
"Clang!"
The long sword was sheathed.
Su Yu hung it diagonally at his waist, and his confidence instantly increased by three points.
"Uncle Wang, your skills are amazing! I have another favor to ask of you."
Su Yu didn't rush to leave. He took out another hundred-tael silver note and placed it on the table. "I still need to forge a special kind of hidden weapon."
Now that the money toss is complete, the matching hidden weapon, the money dart, can also be crafted!
"Oh, tell me about it!" Wang Tieyan said with some curiosity.
After the two discussed it for a while, Wang Tieyan paused for a moment and then spoke.
"I've forged these money darts a few times before, all using fairly ordinary iron. However, according to your requirements, these money darts will likely cost a lot and require a high level of skill in throwing hidden weapons."
Wang Tieyan offered a reminder: many people have used these money darts, but their techniques are all rather unremarkable, perhaps even less powerful than throwing knives.
They usually use scraps to make a few ordinary hidden weapons.
If Su Yu's requirements are followed, the resulting item will be a heavy water tungsten coin, which is quite expensive and difficult to make. Each coin will cost at least ten taels of silver.
Although its power is indeed greater, it is also quite difficult to use.
"Let's do it this way, Uncle Wang. You can keep this silver note for now, and we'll make up the difference later."
Wang Tieyan glanced at Su Yu, and seeing that his mind was made up, he said nothing more and accepted the silver notes.
"Alright! Since you're willing to spend the money, I'll give it my all! Come pick up the goods in two months!"
