Chapter 23

In the small courtyard, the wind rose and clouds gathered.

Even a sick tiger still has its three points of might!

As Yuan Shuo became enraged, the figures around him vanished.

And at this moment, Yuan Shuo was fully engaged in his breathing technique.

As a top martial artist, once Yuan Shuo made a decision, there was no hesitation. Before taking action, he would think carefully, but when he made up his mind, this old martial artist was astonishingly decisive.

Starlight energy could surge into his body!

The sound of his heartbeat could be faintly heard, even Li Hao could hear it.

He was also somewhat excited.

An indescribable unease, he was afraid, afraid of what?

Afraid that the starlight energy would not be enough!

If the teacher absorbed too little, it would be useless, what then?

He was afraid that the starlight energy on the jade sword was limited, and he was even considering whether adding the stone knife would work if the jade sword was not enough.

As for the two weapons that were no longer useful, in Li Hao's view, everything was worth it to restore or even advance Yuan Shuo!

Otherwise, the final result would either benefit the Red Shadow or the Night Patrol.

This would be the worst outcome!

As for him, Li Hao, he would almost certainly not enjoy any benefits.

...

While Yuan Shuo was absorbing the starlight energy.

In the ancient courtyard of Silver City.

Outside the small courtyard, no one was within several hundred meters.

In the distance, on the rooftop of the ancient courtyard's teaching building.

At this moment, two figures appeared.

A man and a woman, their faces somewhat blurred.

"Lu Hao, what do you think?"

The woman asked, her gaze directed far away, but she did not look directly at Yuan Shuo, instead, she averted her eyes.

There, a faint surge of qi and blood made her dare not rashly peer directly.

"What do you think?"

The man, dressed in black uniform, looked slender, his eyes seemed to contain streaks of starlight, responded softly, "I don't really care. If Yuan Shuo wants to teach his disciple the无情 secret technique, let him."

"Is it really just teaching a secret technique?"

The woman seemed somewhat disbelieving, "Such a big commotion, if he wanted to teach, he could do it indoors, why make such a fuss in the courtyard..."

"Showing off."

The man smiled, "You know the situation. It seems a mysterious superhuman has targeted his student. Yuan Shuo, who has dominated for so long, has been in hiding for years. Now, even his closed disciple is being targeted. Today's commotion might also be a way to proclaim his power, hoping to intimidate the other party!"

"Is that possible?"

The woman sighed, "His era... is over!"

Twenty years ago, that era belonged to martial artists.

Now, it is no longer that era.

Twenty years ago, Yuan Shuo dominated, breaking the hundred barrier, even being among the top in the hundred, almost reaching the realm of a thousand fighters.

Such a person, who wouldn't fear him?

A few years ago, Yuan Shuo still had enough power to intimidate.

However, a year ago, a student in the ancient courtyard was killed, which also marked the complete loss of Yuan Shuo's prestige.

The news of Yuan Shuo's injury must have spread, even the state of his weakened qi and blood, and damaged heart, might have been leaked.

Otherwise, a peak hundred martial artist would not be easily provoked.

The fact that the other party dared to act in the ancient courtyard a year ago indicates that they no longer feared Yuan Shuo!

The woman seemed to have a third eye on her forehead, which was now looking at the distance, with a faint sense of movement. Yuan Shuo... is no longer the Yuan Shuo of old.

She was actually very interested in the Five Animals Secret Technique!

She wanted to open her third eye to see through the layer of qi and blood.

Was Yuan Shuo passing on the secret technique, or doing something else?

The next moment, a layer of starlight flickered on her forehead, and the man beside her said in a low voice, "Don't act rashly, we are here to protect him, not to provoke..."

"It's fine!"

The woman couldn't suppress her curiosity, and her third eye was opening.

The man frowned slightly, "Be careful of being injured by the qi and blood..."

The woman laughed, saying nothing.

Injured by qi and blood?

From several hundred meters away?

Martial artists... are that powerful?

The woman was not old, and had not been a superhuman for long. She had seen some tenth-level martial artists, who were easily defeated!

As for a hundred-level martial artist, she had seen one, but that person went to the Night Patrol headquarters, was very low-key, and very humble, even somewhat subservient to the Night Patrol.

The era of martial artists is over!

The former myth, the hundred-level martial artist, is now just that.

Moreover, Yuan Shuo was injured.

Just a glance, nothing more.

The woman didn't listen to the advice and chose to open her eye, smiling, "Lu Hao, we have the duty and responsibility to observe the situation clearly to prevent anything happening to Professor Yuan. I am just fulfilling my duty. Who knows if Li Hao is trying to harm Professor Yuan..."

Finding an excuse, not fearing any repercussions.

Zhang Hao frowned but said nothing.

With Yuan Shuo's hope of advancing now gone, the Night Patrol headquarters no longer respected him as much. Moreover, Yuan Shuo was indeed old, and the Night Patrol was also collaborating with other top experts in ancient civilizations.

Yuan Shuo's status was actually declining.

"Be careful, a top martial artist is still very formidable..."

"I know!"

The woman interrupted him, her third eye fully opened.

At that moment, she saw.

She saw Yuan Shuo through the mist of qi and blood.

And at that moment, she saw a pair of eyes, eyes full of killing intent, anger, and madness from being despised!

Those were eyes that could see through the heart and the world!

"Bold!"

"Peeking at my secret technique, you're asking for death!"

At that moment, Yuan Shuo, like a flying bird, leaped into the sky!

The flying bird technique, which previously looked awkward, revealed its true form for the first time in front of Li Hao.

Soaring into the air, arms spread!

Yuan Shuo discovered the other party's peeking!

He was enraged!

Years of pent-up anger surged out at that moment. He transformed into a flying bird, arms spread, leaping through the air, his movements not the most graceful, but his speed was astonishingly fast!

In an instant, Yuan Shuo leaped a hundred meters.

Landing, he lightly touched the ground and leaped again!

He couldn't fly, but his jumping power was astonishing. In an instant, he leaped another hundred meters.

In the blink of an eye, he crossed two to three hundred meters.

This all happened so quickly that Li Hao didn't react, and the two superhumans didn't react either.

Fast!

Unbelievably fast!

Yuan Shuo, who had mastered the Five Animals Technique, was almost all-powerful.

The next moment, he leaped again, almost level with the building, at least thirty meters high.

On the rooftop, the man and woman's faces changed.

Lu Hao hurriedly said, "Old Master Yuan..."

"Roar!"

A
