Chapter 913 One Move
Since they were revived, they had been cleaning the dojo all this time.
After such a long slumber, the dojo had become dilapidated and dirty. There were cracks on a few supporting pillars, and it felt like it was on the verge of collapse.
When Lu Yu walked in, he could see they were still cleaning up, but the place had become much cleaner; only those corners still needed to be thoroughly cleaned up.
Some martial artists had already started their practice. The long slumber had caused their muscles to degenerate, and they needed a period of time to recover.
“h.e.l.lo, fellow martial artist. Do you want to join our dojo or have you come to spar?”
A female warrior walked over and asked Lu Yu.
“I’m here to challenge the dojo. Didn’t you write at the entrance that if I win, I’ll get 100 Brilliant Coins?”
The female martial artist was a little taken aback. “You’re quite arrogant. Did you come here to earn money? We’re not a place for you to earn spare change!”
“My master is very strong. You might even lose all you have.”
“Then call your master out. Let’s spar if you’re so confident.”
At this moment, a middle-aged man in a white robe walked out.
He put his hands behind his back and strolled leisurely, stroking his beard with a smile.
“It’s been a long time since anyone came to our dojo for a kind donation.”
He walked over with a smile and sized up Lu Yu. Seeing that Lu Yu was dressed strangely and looked young, he concluded it would be an easy win.
“I’ll take your 50 Brilliant Coins. Now, let’s begin.”
He said it impatiently and wanted to compete with Lu Yu right away.
Quickly, the group of martial artists still doing odd jobs at the side gathered. They looked at the two men expectantly, hoping to see their master’s performance.
After sleeping for so long, they all looked forward to seeing their master display his strength again.
Their eyes were filled with antic.i.p.ation and pride for their master.
As he introduced himself, he walked toward the martial arts arena.
“Come, show me your strength.”
Quaker was confident. He had zero antic.i.p.ation when he faced Lu Yu.
This was normal. In the eyes of these people, Lu Yu was too ordinary. Other than his outstanding looks, there was nothing special about him.
Therefore, no one expected Lu Yu to be strong.
“Alright, let’s go.”
Lu Yu replied and walked up.
The two stood facing each other, surrounded by many martial artists looking at them excitedly.
50 to 60 people were watching them, indicating that the scale of this dojo was large.
“Alright, I’ll make the first move. Let me test your strength!”
The next moment, Quaker stepped up. Both of them did not hold any weapons and planned to fight with their fists and feet.
Bang!
Quaker stepped forward and threw a heavy punch at Lu Yu.
Lu Yu raised his wrist and easily blocked the punch.
After a dull thud, Quaker suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Yu in disbelief.
It was as if his punch had hit a steel plate. Lu Yu did not move an inch and was totally unaffected. It was as if a mosquito had bitten him.
At this moment, Quaker realized that their strength difference was great, and it did not favor him.
“Do you still want to continue?”
Through this punch, any master who often fights should know the result.
Quaker was no exception. He had fought countless opponents, but no one could withstand his punch without moving.
He slowly stood on the spot, took a deep breath, pursed his lips, and gulped.
“The battle is over. I lost.”
With just one punch, he had already realized that he had lost.
“Since it’s over, take out the 100 Brilliant Coins. I need the money.”
Quaker quickly nodded and shouted to a disciple below, “Go, bring me a hundred Brilliant Coins!”
“Master, that’s it? That’s impossible!”
“It was only one punch. How could it end so quickly?”
“Why don’t you continue fighting? We don’t know the result yet!”
The disciples below the stage were unwilling to accept their loss. They hoped Quaker could continue fighting, as their master was the strongest in their eyes.
At least in Mountain City, their master, Quaker, was one of the strongest here.
But to Lu Yu, Quaker’s strength wasn’t even Platinum rank.
The difference in strength was like the difference between a cloud and mud.
“If I lose, then so be it. I’m not someone who can’t admit my losses.”
Hearing this, the disciple turned around and walked away unwillingly. Although he was unhappy, he still did as he was told.
Quaker dared not break his promise, as Lu Yu’s strength was far superior to his own. He would have been crippled if he hadn’t stopped in time.
If he didn’t fulfill this request, he would be worse off.
With Lu Yu’s strength, it would be easy for him to overturn their dojo. There might not be anyone in Mountain City who is his match!
After all, Quaker was already one of the strongest here.
Soon after, the disciple returned with a gunny sack.
The bag was very heavy and about the size of a human head.
“Alright, this is 100 Brilliant Coins.”
Lu Yu took the bag and took out a coin.
The coin was round, with gold as the base color. It was covered with a layer of dazzling light that would flicker like a chaotic rainbow.
This was the first time he had seen such a unique gold coin.
“A hundred, yes. I will gladly accept it.”
Lu Yu accepted the gold coins and turned to leave.
Quaker stopped him. “What’s your name? We should spar more often in the future.”
“My name is Will. If it’s just a normal spar, forget it. I don’t have time.”
Lu Yu said as he walked out of the dojo, leaving only his back view for them.
Helen and the Empress quickly followed behind Lu Yu.
Quaker looked at Lu Yu’s back and narrowed his eyes.
“This person is not simple. I have to inform the City Lord!”
…
After Lu Yu left the dojo, it was dark outside. It was twilight, so the three of them needed to find a place to rest for the night before continuing their journey.
On the way to the hotel, Lu Yu looked at Helen and asked more about the Ember Empire.
