6: Chapter 6 Qi and Blood Realm

In Canglan No. 1 High School, a campus rich with the atmosphere of martial arts.

Su Yu sat alone in the corner of the classroom, the noisy break seeming to be separated from him by a thick, transparent wall. He kept his head down, his hands clutching the worn-edged "Basic Inner Qi Guidance" tightly, with only one thought in his mind: Endure.

As long as he endured until the martial arts exam, as long as he could walk out of the slums, all the humiliation would vanish with the wind.

"Your face... what happened?"

A voice as crisp as an oriole rang in his ears. Su Yu's breath hitched; he knew who it was without looking up.

Xu Lele, the school beauty of No. 1 High School. She wore a light blue school uniform skirt, her high ponytail swaying slightly, radiating a youthful and compelling Spiritual Qi.

"I wasn't careful while walking, I fell." Su Yu's voice was low, deliberately creating distance.

Xu Lele's brows locked tightly, her pretty face slightly cold: "Fell? Who could fall and get finger marks? Did Wang Tai bring people to corner you?"

Su Yu didn't speak, just turned his back.

"That bastard, does he think he can act lawlessly just because his family has connections to the City Defense Force?" Xu Lele's chest heaved with anger. "I'm going to confront him! I don't believe this school has no laws!"

"Don't go!" Su Yu raised his head abruptly, his eyes full of panic, grabbing her wrist. "Lele, don't go... He will make my dad lose his job. My dad has worked there for eighteen years; that's his lifeline."

Looking at Su Yu's face, swollen and even stained with dried blood, Xu Lele felt a dull ache in her heart. She bit her lip, her eyes turning red: "So what if he loses his job? Are you just going to let him keep bullying you? If all else fails, I'll beg my dad..."

"From now on... stay away from me." Su Yu slowly released her hand, his voice cold without a trace of warmth. "Someone like me doesn't deserve to stand beside you."

"Su Yu! You blockhead!" Xu Lele stamped her feet in anger, tears welling up in her eyes, and turned to run back to her seat.

This scene was completely captured by a yellow-haired youth in the front row.

He let out a sinister, strange laugh, his fingers dancing rapidly on the phone screen as he sent a message: "Brother Tai, that kid Su Yu is hitting on Lele again, and he even held her hand!"

Before the second theory class was even over, Su Yu was called out of the classroom.

Martial Arts Room No. 2, located in a remote area, had only a few blind spots for surveillance. When Su Yu stepped inside, the heavy alloy door slammed shut.

Five strong, sturdy students had already surrounded him.

The management teacher in the distance was sitting on a chair drinking tea. He lifted his eyelids, and upon seeing that the leader was Wang Tai, he expressionlessly put on his headphones and turned around.

"You motherless bastard, you really don't learn, do you?"

Wang Tai was wearing a designer fighting suit, kneading his knuckles, which made a crackling sound.

He was also at the Great Perfection of the Body Refinement Realm, but having been soaked in various expensive potions since childhood, his Qi and Blood were much thicker than ordinary students.

"I said, if you dare to get close to Xu Lele again, I'll break your legs. Are you treating my words as wind in your ears?"

"Slap!" With a crisp sound, Wang Tai struck Su Yu across the face with a slap without warning.

Su Yu's head was knocked to the side, and a salty, fishy taste instantly filled his mouth. He gritted his teeth tightly and didn't move.

"Damn it, that dead-fish-eyed look is annoying!" Wang Tai grabbed Su Yu's hair and grinned ferociously. "When I go back, I'll have my uncle issue a dismissal order to your useless father! And I'll have 'dereliction of duty' marked on his file, so he can rot in prison for the rest of his life!"

Dismissal... prison... These two words pierced into Su Yu's tense nerves like poisonous needles.

That was his father, the father who had lived humbly under the city wall for eighteen years just to raise him!

"Don't you dare... touch my dad." A low roar erupted from Su Yu's throat.

"What if I do? Trash like you, who can't even pay the registration fee, still wants to fight me?" Wang Tai looked disdainful, waving his fist again, aiming straight for Su Yu's face.

Just at that moment, Su Yu felt an unprecedented, violent hot current suddenly surge from his previously silent Dantian. That hot current, as if a flood had been accumulating for over a decade, completely burst its banks at this moment!

Boom! The surrounding air seemed to solidify slightly.

Deep in Su Yu's pupils, a glimmer of golden light flashed. His body, which had originally appeared thin and weak due to malnutrition, now saw his muscles rhythmically contracting violently, and a layer of faint red steam actually emerged on his skin.

Slap! A calloused hand steadily caught Wang Tai's heavy punch.

"Hmm?" Wang Tai was stunned. He discovered that his fist seemed to have sunk into ten-thousand-year black ice; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move it even a fraction.

"Qi and Blood?" Wang Tai discovered in horror that the aura on Su Yu's body was climbing at a terrifying speed, directly crossing the barrier of the Body Refinement Realm, the tyrannical air pressure forcing him into difficulty breathing.

"Qi and Blood Realm?! This is impossible!"

"I said, don't you dare touch my dad."

Su Yu's voice became extremely hoarse, as if carrying the rhythm of some ancient desolate beast. He took half a step forward, his back pulled taut like a bow, his waist and hips aligned, and he slammed out with the most basic "Wild Bull Fist."

"Roar——" A dull, resonant sound of a Dragon and elephant trumpeting faintly echoed in the air.

Bang! Wang Tai was sent flying like a cannonball, slamming heavily into the reinforced wall in the distance. He didn't even have time to scream before his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground like a pile of mud, life or death unknown.

"Brother Tai!" "This... how is this possible?"

The remaining lackeys were scared until their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, looking at the tangible cyclone around Su Yu, they no longer had the courage to fight, scrambling to flee out the door.

The management teacher in the distance was so scared that the teacup in his hand shattered into pieces. He hurriedly pulled off his headphones, pointed at Su Yu, and screamed: "What are you doing! Are you rebelling? If you hurt Young Master Wang, even ten lives wouldn't be enough to compensate!"

Su Yu stood in the center of the martial arts room, staring blankly at his own hands. At that moment, he felt his body filled with inexhaustible power, but after his reason returned, a deep sense of fear welled up in his heart.

He had made a Breakthrough. But he had crippled the nephew of the deputy commander.

"Dad... I've caused trouble." Su Yu muttered to himself.

Meanwhile. Far away in District D, Su Wu's footsteps faltered slightly.

[Ding! Detected that offspring Su Yu has made a Breakthrough in battle, advancing to the Early Stage of the Qi and Blood Realm!]

[fathers glory system judgment: Offspring's Realm has improved, Host is synchronized and improved!]

[Current Offspring Realm: Qi and Blood Realm (Tier 2)]

[Host Realm: Martial King Realm (Tier 6) Early Stage!]

Boom! The golden Qi and Blood inside Su Wu exploded in an instant.

The concrete floor under his feet silently cracked with a few fine fissures, extending several meters away.
