Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Nami’s Insane Luck
"I'm Ye Zhiqiu, Director of External Affairs from Canghui Academy. May I ask which sect you belong to?"
Ye Zhiqiu looked sternly at Su Xiaoqi. He could ignore the earlier minor scuffle, but now that one of his students had been beaten so hard they vomited blood, this had become a whole different matter.
Su Xiaoqi waved it off indifferently."Enough with the pointless questions. If you're here to save face, let's settle this outside. No need to disrupt other people's meals or the restaurant's business."
With that, he headed for the door, clearly not in the mood for any further chatter. Since they were going to fight anyway, might as well get straight to it.
"You—!"
Ye Zhiqiu felt completely disrespected by Su Xiaoqi's attitude and stormed out after him, seething. He hadn't intended for this to escalate; a simple apology would've sufficed. He could've let things slide.
After all, the strength displayed by this group wasn't ordinary. He figured they must belong to some powerful force.
The restaurant owner, on the other hand, felt immense gratitude toward Su Xiaoqi and the others. If they had started brawling inside, his establishment would've been trashed beyond repair.
Dai Mubai turned to Zhu Zhuqing with a grin,"Zhuqing, if a fight does break out, we'll help Su Xiaoqi."
As she passed by him, Zhu Zhuqing coldly replied,"Dai Mubai, save your sleazy thoughts. Spare me your fake kindness—it makes me sick."
Once Zhu Zhuqing had stepped outside, Ma Hongjun leaned in close to Dai Mubai and whispered,"Boss Dai, are we really going to help him? I haven't even eaten yet…"
Dai Mubai looked toward Tang San."Tang San, what do you think?"
Tang San considered for a moment and said,"Let's at least go take a look. Even though this started because of Su Xiaoqi, he is traveling with us from Shrek Academy. Plus, Teacher Zhao is probably watching us right now."
Dai Mubai chuckled."Exactly. We can't just let him die out there... at least not officially."
In Dai Mubai's mind, the plan was simple: let Su Xiaoqi get beaten within an inch of his life, then swoop in with a heroic "rescue" and play the part of the generous, forgiving comrade. No one could criticize him for that—in fact, people would praise his virtue.
Outside the inn, Su Xiaoqi stretched and flexed his hands before facing Ye Zhiqiu."Alright, let's begin."
Ye Zhiqiu scoffed coldly."You arrogant brat. Since your elders clearly failed to teach you manners, allow me to do it for them."
"Black Tortoise, Possess!"
As Ye Zhiqiu shouted, one white, two yellow, and two purple soul rings emerged beneath his feet—five in total. At that very moment, the others who had just stepped outside caught sight of this transformation.
"He's a Soul King?!"
Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Xiao Wu were all shocked. And in the very next second, Dai Mubai couldn't help but gloat. There was no way Su Xiaoqi could beat a Soul King who had already activated his martial spirit.
He still firmly believed that the reason Su Xiaoqi had lasted so long against Zhao Wuji and managed to punch him flying was purely due to dumb luck and his own carelessness.
But what happened next left Dai Mubai—and everyone else—utterly dumbfounded.
"No way... This can't be real."
"Isn't he just a regular person? How the hell is he this strong?"
"Brother San, since when can regular people beat the crap out of Soul Kings? I must be dreaming."
Even Zhao Wuji, observing from the shadows, was taken aback. Su Xiaoqi's current performance was worlds apart from how he'd fought on enrollment day. It was like watching a completely different person.
"Who is this kid?"
"Looks like I need to warn Mubai later."
At first, Zhao Wuji had been fooled by Dai Mubai's behavior. But after watching the stunt he pulled with Canghui Academy, he could see right through his intentions.
Meanwhile, Su Xiaoqi had only exchanged a few moves with Ye Zhiqiu before growing bored. The guy's Black Tortoise martial spirit made him a great stationary punching bag, but his attack skills were so slow it was almost comical—even with Su Xiaoqi still wearing his weighted gear.
One punch sent Ye Zhiqiu flying. Su Xiaoqi casually walked back to Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong."Boring. Let's head back inside."
"Sure." Zhu Zhuqing nodded with a smile. Ning Rongrong asked,"You're just gonna let that turtle go like that?"
Su Xiaoqi glanced at her and replied,"What else am I supposed to do? I've got no grudge against him. He was just manipulated by an idiot."
He made no effort to lower his voice. Dai Mubai's expression turned dark, but he didn't say a word.
Just then, Zhao Wuji's voice rang out,"It's late. Why aren't you all resting? Get back to your rooms and sleep!"
Su Xiaoqi gave him a glance, then headed back into the inn.
That night, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong shared a room, while Su Xiaoqi had a room to himself. Bored, he turned to the group chat to kill time.
Nami and Lu Linglong were chatting about the latest plotlines in their respective worlds. Sakata Gintoki, as usual, was goofing around whenever they said something. The rest remained silent.
[Su Xiaoqi: @Nami, you've got quite a few points now. Want to try a draw?]
[Nami: Don't try to tempt me. You've got way more points than I do—why don't you go draw?]
[Su Xiaoqi: All my points are with Zhuqing. She's keeping them for me. But I've got a feeling you're going to pull something amazing today.]
[Lu Linglong: I'm so jealous of you point-rich folks. I really need to start grinding.]
[Su Xiaoqi: Come on, Linglong, you've got a ton of cultivation techniques in your world. Just toss a few into the shop—you'll earn points in no time.]
[Lu Linglong: Easy for you to say. Last time I tried stealing my grandpa's Heaven-Tier talisman, I almost got beaten to death.]
[Su Xiaoqi: Um… maybe stop trying to fleece your grandpa? You could get stuff from your ex, or even another sect.]
[Lu Linglong: He's not my ex! Zhang Chulan and I are just friends. Besides, that guy's sharp as hell. Not easy to con.]
[Su Xiaoqi: Ever considered seducing him? That's his biggest weakness.]
[Sakata Gintoki: No way! Gin-san strongly objects! Linglong-chan can't use such underhanded tricks! ]
[Su Xiaoqi: Then what, she seduces you instead?]
[Sakata Gintoki: That works! Gin-san gives two… eggs up for this plan! ]
[Lu Linglong: @Su Xiaoqi, you messed with Nami and now you're coming for me? I've seen some things, okay? Push me too far, and you'll regret it. Tsundere.jpg]
Suddenly, the system notifications rolled in:
[System: Congratulations! Nami has acquired: "Railgun" ability card (Misaka Mikoto's version).][System: Congratulations! Nami has acquired: "Panty Steal" skill card (Satou Kazuma's version).][System: Congratulations! Nami has acquired: One Gravity Chamber.][System: Congratulations! Nami has acquired: One 30,000-year Selectable Attribute Soul Ring.][System: Congratulations! Nami has acquired: Chakra Refinement Card.][System: Congratulations! Nami has acquired: 666 Points.][System: Congratulations! Nami has acquired…]
[Su Xiaoqi: Holy crap. This is insane.]
[Su Xiaoqi: Goddess Nami, I think we may have had a few… minor misunderstandings. Care for a chat sometime? ]
[Sakata Gintoki: Nami-chan, can I have that panty-stealing skill? Gin-san is willing to trade the most precious thing he's preserved for decades in exchange. ]
