Chapter 9

"Beep!"

"D-Class Mission Released: Han Hu's Bodyguard. Mission Description: Act as a bodyguard to protect Han Hu from harm and teach a lesson to anyone who dares to harm him. Mission Reward: One lottery chance, 20 exchange points. Do you accept?"

"Finally, it's here." Yang Yu was somewhat excited.

"Accept!"

...

Guangtian Technology Group.

"General Manager, Yang Yu skipped work," Wang Li said, "I just went to the information department to look for him, but he was already gone, and he didn't go through the proper leave procedures."

"Damn it!" Liu Xueyao said angrily.

"Should we... still give him the invitation?" Wang Li asked in a low voice.

"First day on the job, he groped me, and now he's leaving early. Have him come to my office tomorrow." Liu Xueyao said, already taking back the invitation.

"Why bother." Wang Li couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

...

At the entrance of Bohuang Cinema, Yang Yu found the small alley that Sun Xiaoran had mentioned. There were six or seven young thugs smoking inside.

"Could it be these guys?" Yang Yu muttered to himself, but since they hadn't made a move yet, he wouldn't just charge in recklessly.

He found a small stall and ate something, keeping a close eye on the cinema entrance. Suddenly, two familiar figures walked out.

"It's only 5:10, why are they coming out now?" Yang Yu frowned and immediately followed them.

Seeing Sun Xiaoran and Han Hu walking together, the thugs inside the alley laughed. The leader pointed at Han Hu.

"Hehe, that's him, no doubt about it," one thug said.

"Right," the leader whispered, "Once he enters this alley, we'll make our move. Few people come this way, so you guys don't need to hide."

"Got it!"

...

"Hu Zi, should we take a different route?" Sun Xiaoran said.

"Why change? This is the shortest way back. Let's hurry, today's movie was so boring. I just want to go back and have a good sleep. I'll never watch such a boring movie again," Han Hu scratched his cheek, looking a bit tired.

"Hu Zi..." Sun Xiaoran wanted to tell him what she knew, but thinking of Han Hu's temper, she lost her nerve. Han Hu was the type who wouldn't budge unless pushed, and the more you warned him of danger, the more he would want to check it out. His stubbornness was well-known to both Sun Xiaoran and Yang Yu.

"Alright," Sun Xiaoran sighed, silently entrusting Yang Yu with the task.

As they entered the alley, Sun Xiaoran's face changed. The thugs were indeed there, watching Han Hu with interest.

"Little brat, we've been waiting for you," the leader sneered, and the other six thugs laughed.

"Grasshopper, didn't expect there to be a girl too. Should we let the brothers have some fun?" one thug said.

"Hmph, finish the job first," Grasshopper said coldly.

Han Hu's face changed. "What do you want to do?"

"What do we want? Beat you up, of course," Grasshopper laughed. "You deserve it for offending the wrong person. Don't blame us if you end up crippled."

"Hu Zi, we..." Sun Xiaoran's face changed. She hadn't seen Yang Yu's shadow yet. Was Yang Yu not here yet? If so, they were really in trouble today.

"Xiao Ran, run, I'll hold them off," Han Hu gritted his teeth. "Just a few trash, I won't let them get away with it."

"Hu Zi..." Sun Xiaoran cried.

"What's the matter? Brothers, beat this guy up," Grasshopper shouted, and the six thugs immediately rushed forward.

"Run!" Han Hu pushed Sun Xiaoran behind him. "Go, what are you waiting for?"

Hearing Han Hu's shout, Sun Xiaoran was heartbroken. "Yang Yu, come out quickly, Hu Zi is about to get beaten. Why aren't you here yet?"

"Yang Yu?" Han Hu was also surprised. "Is Yu Zi here?"

"Where is he?"

"Is there someone else?"

Grasshopper was taken aback, thinking he had been ambushed. The other six thugs also panicked and stopped, searching the surroundings. Only after confirming no one was there did they relax.

"Damn, you scared me," Grasshopper cursed. "What are you waiting for? Beat him up! Don't let the girl go, grab her first."

"Oh, such deep affection, I can't bear to watch," a familiar voice came. Han Hu was startled, immediately recognizing it as Yang Yu's voice.

"He's here!"

"Really here!"

Not in front, not behind, could it be...

He looked up.

Standing on the eaves of a ten-foot-high roof was a person, tall and straight, dressed in a standard suit, with an evil smile, his bangs flying in the wind, standing alone like a celestial being.

"It's you," Grasshopper was taken aback.

"Brother, he's the second guy we're supposed to beat, another 100,000. I remember his name is Yang Yu."

"Shut up, I know," Grasshopper shouted.

"Yu Zi, what are you doing up there? And who asked you to come? With your scrawny arms and legs, don't get in the way. Take Xiao Ran and leave," Han Hu frowned, constantly giving Yang Yu signals, but Yang Yu ignored them.

"You guy," Yang Yu smiled. "Good thing I came. I'll be your bodyguard today. What I said yesterday wasn't just talk."

"Yesterday?" Han Hu was taken aback.

Yang Yu said no more, looking at the seven thugs below, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

Then... he moved.

He kicked off the corner of the eaves, leaped down, and just as he landed about a meter down, he quickly slapped the eaves corner and stepped on the water pipe, then did a 360-degree spin, and with a spinning kick, one of the stunned thugs was sent flying.

"Amazing!" Han Hu exclaimed. "Is this really Yu Zi?"

"Light steps?" Grasshopper was also stunned, looking at the scene in disbelief. Ten feet is 3.3 meters. Jumping from such a height, an ordinary person would likely break their legs, but this guy was unharmed, all his movements fluid and natural, as if it was second nature.

"Leave now, and I'll pretend nothing happened," Yang Yu said, trying to act cool, but he was actually very excited.

He had just started practicing the Luohan Fist and taken a Bone Washing Pill. Although his physique was better than others, saying he could do light steps was a joke. His movements were the result of precise calculation, and many special forces in TV shows used similar techniques.

"Grasshopper, what do we do?"

"Don't panic, he's just bluffing. Attack together," Grasshopper whispered, sounding experienced. "I'll count to three, no one retreats, or they won't get their 200,000 points."

Hearing 200,000, the thugs immediately nodded. "Okay!"

Yang Yu thought the matter was settled, but the lure of money was too great. He saw the thugs' faces change, clearly not planning to back down.

"Beat him up!" Grasshopper shouted, and the seven thugs charged recklessly.

"Yu Zi, be careful!"

Yang Yu was also taken aback, then immediately recalled the moves from the Luohan Fist, his demeanor becoming more spirited.

"Push the Window to See the Moon!" A classic move from the Luohan Fist, Yang Yu executed it quickly.

"Boom!"

The first thug to approach was sent flying by Yang Yu. The other six thugs' attacks followed, and Yang Yu quickly retreated.

"Tiger Pounces on Prey!"

Another move from the Luohan Fist, Yang Yu moved swiftly, targeting a thug, leaped up, and with a bone-cracking sound, the thug fainted.

Everyone was chilled. Two thugs down in two moves, this was not something an ordinary person could do.

"This..." Han Hu was stunned again. "Yu Zi is really a martial arts expert, my God!"

Sun Xiaoran also covered her mouth.

"Hmph!" Yang Yu laughed coldly, looking at the remaining five, getting more and more into the fight, his understanding of the Luohan Fist deepening.

Although it was just a basic martial art, it was far beyond what these ignorant thugs could handle. Yang Yu seemed to have divine assistance, his moves unmatched.

"Primordial Qi!"

"Immortal Palm Pushes Clouds!"

"Three Levels Land!"

...

"Chilly Step!"

After using all the moves from the Luohan Fist, the seven thugs were all down, and Grasshopper was pinned to the wall, spitting blood, trembling as he looked at Yang Yu, no longer the arrogant person he was before.

"How about that?" Yang Yu smiled.

"Brother, I was wrong. It was ordered by Young Master Wang," Grasshopper said, panicking as Yang Yu approached, but there was a wall behind him.

"Young Master Wang?" Yang Yu muttered. "Is it Wang Wei?"

"Yes," Grasshopper nodded quickly.

A cold light appeared in Yang Yu's eyes, and he kicked Grasshopper, who lost consciousness.

"Yu Zi, you..." Han Hu walked over, dazed.

"Do you believe me now?" Yang Yu looked at Han Hu and smiled. "This is just the basics. Want to learn more advanced martial arts? Just join the Hua Tian Sect, and it's possible."

Hearing this, Han Hu nodded rapidly.
