Chapter 12: Robbing the Top Three.

"Rob!"

Du Shaofu's serious face carried a hint of a smile as he formed hand seals, causing the surrounding energy to fluctuate as if countless waves of heaven and earth energy were being channeled into his body. Streams of mystic energy rapidly flowed through specific meridians and mystic acupoints within his body, converging seamlessly in his palms, making the surrounding space ripple like boiling water.

In that instant, Du Shaofu's aura became overwhelmingly fierce, like a slumbering fierce beast awakening.

At that moment, Du Hao, Du Chong, and Du Yan's eyes were the first to fill with shock.

"Surging Waves Palm!"

Du Shaofu slapped out his palm, mystic energy surging, and a sound like a muffled thunderclap suddenly echoed. Immediately, visible gusts of wind spread out from where his palm passed, wave after wave of force like surging waves continuously crashed towards the group of young men led by Du Hao, Du Chong, and Du Yan.

"Spit!" "Spit!" "Spit!"

Du Hao, Du Chong, and Du Yan, who were at the forefront, didn't even have time to prepare before they spat out mouthfuls of blood and were heavily thrown back. They fell to the ground several meters away, blood flowing, faces pale, and despite struggling, they couldn't get up.

"Rumble!"

Muffled sounds echoed continuously. The young men who had been laughing behind Du Hao, and the young women who had been giggling, were also thrown back like stones, still carrying their uncontrolled ridicule and laughter, and finally fell to the ground in a mess, scattered and disheveled.

In that instant, it was as if all their ridicule and mockery had been fiercely scattered.

When everything calmed down, the training ground entrance was in a mess.

The sudden commotion had already caught the attention of all the Du family members in the training ground. They all stared at the training ground entrance, mouths agape, unable to close their jaws.

Du Shaofu's expression remained calm as he walked directly to Du Hao, Du Chong, and Du Yan, and in front of all the stunned gazes, he took out the brocade boxes containing the Foundation Establishment Pills and the jade bottles containing the Violent Stone Wolf's essence blood from their chests, and naturally put them into his own chest.

"I give you three days to return the pills you stole from me in the past. If not, I will rob you every time I see you. I'm serious."

With that, Du Shaofu patted his buttocks and walked away.

Left behind, the Du family members near the training ground were in a state of disarray, as if they had seen a ghost.

When Du Shaofu's figure completely disappeared from the shocked gazes of the crowd, the people around the training ground finally realized that the Du Shaofu who had just been mocked and ridiculed had, in broad daylight, robbed the top three of the young generation.

"The top three of the young generation..."

The people around the training ground looked at Du Hao, Du Chong, and Du Yu, who couldn't even crawl up, with deep meaning.

Those who had just mocked and despised Du Shaofu felt their faces burning, as if they had been slapped hard...

At dusk, the sun set, and the evening glow dotted the sky, casting a mottled light.

"Second Brother, have those few families shown any unusual activity recently?"

In a courtyard of the Du family, a middle-aged man with a heroic aura sat and asked Du Zhi Xiong.

Du Zhi Xiong shook his head and said, "Those few families haven't shown much activity recently, but something interesting happened in the family today. I wonder if Elder Brother is interested in hearing it."

"Oh, today should have been the competition among the younger generation. Did any of the young ones perform exceptionally well?"

The heroic man's interest was piqued. As the head of the Du family, he placed great importance on the younger generation. This man was none other than Du Zhen Wu, a well-known figure in the entire Stone City.

Du Zhi Xiong's smile was somewhat complicated, as if he didn't know how to say it, and then said, "The young ones all did well, but the interesting part is about the third son's son, Shaofu."

"Shaofu..."

Upon hearing this, Du Zhen Wu sighed slightly, his bright eyes filled with a hint of regret and complexity. Then he looked at the sturdy man and said, "Has his condition worsened? It's quite pitiful. If there's a chance, I would like to invite a Spirit Symbol Master to examine him, even at great cost."

"Elder Brother, I think it's unnecessary."

Du Zhi Xiong's eyes moved, and then he said to Du Zhen Wu, "Today, in the competition, Du Hao, Du Chong, and Du Yan took the top three places, but..."

"But what? Second Brother, when did you start speaking so hesitantly?" Du Zhen Wu looked at Du Zhi Xiong, who didn't seem like his usual self.

"Du Hao, Du Chong, and Du Yan obtained the Violent Stone Wolf's essence blood and Foundation Establishment Pills, but as soon as they left the training ground, they were robbed by Shaofu."

Du Zhi Xiong looked at Du Zhen Wu, suppressing the still unsettled emotions in his heart, and took a deep breath, saying, "In just one move, Du Hao, Du Chong, and Du Yan were slapped away, and over a dozen other juniors were also injured. Shaofu used the Surging Waves Palm."

"Surging Waves Palm, Second Brother, are you joking?" Du Zhen Wu suddenly stood up, his face frozen, his eyes fixed on Du Zhi Xiong, with a sharp light in them.

Du Zhi Xiong nodded solemnly and said, "Just one move, the Surging Waves Palm, I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Quick, find Shaofu and bring him here. I want to see him, immediately." Du Zhen Wu's eyes trembled, and a smile appeared on his frozen face.

As the annual competition among the younger generation of the Du family came to an end, the final result left the entire Du family speechless.

Du Hao, Du Chong, and Du Yan, the top three of the young generation, the three strongest of the Du family's young generation, were defeated in just one move by Du Shaofu, who had always been considered a fool. Was this young master really still a fool?

The entire Du family was shocked, and this news quickly spread throughout the entire Stone City.

Of course, at this moment, Du Shaofu was unaware that many forces in the entire Stone City had been stirred by him.

"Without cultivating any techniques, what should I do with these things?"

At night, in the room, Du Shaofu looked at the jade bottles and two brocade boxes on the table, facing the Violent Stone Wolf's essence blood and two Foundation Establishment Pills, and showed a troubled expression. If others saw these, they would be overjoyed, as they could significantly enhance their cultivation and strength.

But Du Shaofu knew he was different. These were all good things, but he had yet to cultivate any techniques, and the mystic energy in his body was already saturated. Whether it was the Violent Stone Wolf's essence blood or the Foundation Establishment Pills, he couldn't use them right now.

"No, I must obtain the Purple Qi of the Rising Sun Scripture as soon as possible."

Du Shaofu made up his mind. The most important thing now was to cultivate a technique, and his goal was naturally the strongest technique of the Du family, the Purple Qi of the Rising Sun Scripture.
