Chapter 57

Su Jing followed the three swallows, running all the way to the beach.

He couldn't help but feel puzzled. Based on what the three little swallows had said, someone was being chased, someone was screaming, and two bad guys were very fierce. It should be two people doing something bad to one person, either robbing or raping. Su Jing was already prepared to play the hero and save the day.

However, this was the beach, where there were many people. Who would dare to do something bad in broad daylight with so many people watching?

Not far from the entrance of Zhenhong Seafood Restaurant, the three little swallows suddenly stopped, chirping, "It was right around here just now."

"Where? Did you remember the place wrong?" Su Jing looked around. On the beach, there were people sunbathing, swimming, playing volleyball, and building sandcastles. Everything was peaceful, and there were no bad guys chasing anyone.

"We are very smart, we didn't remember it wrong."

"Then tell me which two bad guys were very fierce," Su Jing asked.

"We can't recognize them, all humans look the same to us."

"..." Su Jing was speechless. How could different people look the same? But then he thought, from a swallow's perspective, people might really look the same. Just like how people see swallows, they all look the same. Even after knowing these three little guys for so long, Su Jing still couldn't tell them apart. Once, he fed one of them twice and missed feeding another, almost causing a fight among them.

Su Jing observed the surroundings again and suddenly heard a scream.

Turning his head, he saw a few people playing beach volleyball. One side seemed to have won, and a girl was excitedly screaming. The other two boys also looked very excited, howling and celebrating by lifting the girl into the air.

"That's them."

"How scary."

"..." Su Jing stood there, dumbfounded. The person was screaming, the two were fierce, and they were grabbing someone. It all seemed to fit.

"Damn, I actually believed you." Su Jing wished he could find a crack in the ground to hide in. He had been tricked by three little swallows.

"That person is so silly, talking to himself."

"Those three swallows are surrounding him. Is he talking to the swallows?"

A few tourists nearby pointed at Su Jing and whispered.

Su Jing ignored them, turned around with a black face, and walked back, thinking he should never easily believe what animals say.

"Brother Jing?"

"Brother Jing, come and help us."

At that moment, the two boys and one girl who had lost the beach volleyball game saw Su Jing and came over.

"Hey, it's you. Why aren't you in class? Why are you playing volleyball with people here?" Su Jing was surprised. He hadn't recognized them from their backs. They were from the same village and were still in junior high school. One of them, a short and stocky boy with dark skin, was Su Liang's cousin, Su Wenbin.

"It's Sunday today," Su Wenbin said.

"Oh, it's Sunday. Then you continue playing. I won't join in." Su Jing waved his hand. Playing with a group of junior high school students wasn't interesting. Losing would be embarrassing, and winning would be seen as bullying kids.

"Brother Jing, we were bullied badly. Help us win back," the girl, Su Juan, said.

"Brother Jing, they not only won but also deliberately mocked and humiliated us. Look, my face is red from being hit. Also, look at the sign of Uncle's seafood restaurant; they broke it with the volleyball," Su Wenbin complained.

Su Jing turned his head and saw that the sign of Zhenhong Seafood Restaurant was indeed broken, with a ball-shaped mark on it. The sign was actually made of foam, so it was no surprise it broke when hit by a volleyball.

"Ai Jing, don't mess around with them. They've already paid for the damage," Zhao Mengxiang called out from the restaurant, smiling.

"I know, Big Sister," Su Jing replied to Zhao Mengxiang, then patted Su Wenbin's head and scolded him with a smile, "You're learning to sow discord now. If you play with others, you have to be able to lose. If you want to win, you need to work hard. Asking for help when you lose, what kind of hero is that?"

"Hey, that big brother over there, if you want to be their helper, just come on. Don't worry about us."

"Or you can join us, four against three."

The two boys on the other side called out arrogantly. They looked young but were about 1.8 meters tall and clearly athletic. Su Wenbin and his friends, who were about 1.7 meters tall, were not very good at volleyball, so it was strange that they had won.

"Big brother, are you afraid to join?" The girl with pigtails giggled, calling him big brother but without any respect in her tone.

"Brother Jing, look at them," Su Wenbin said with a bitter smile. The side of his face that had been hit by the volleyball was swollen.

"Alright, I'll play with you." Seeing the arrogance of the other three and the apparent bullying of Su Wenbin and his friends, Su Jing smiled and decided to teach the other kids a lesson. Su Wenbin was Su Liang's cousin and could be considered Su Jing's half-brother. He couldn't just stand by and watch his brother being bullied.

Su Jing casually took off his shoes and shirt. When his perfect physique was revealed, it immediately drew gasps from many people around.

After eating magic beast meat and exercising, Su Jing's body had changed significantly. He wasn't the bulky type but had a lean and muscular build. His chest muscles were strong, and his abs were clearly defined. His arms were full of explosive power, and his entire physique was perfect.

"Wow." The two boys on the other side were also taken aback, and the girl's eyes sparkled.

"Brother Jing, how did you get so strong?" Su Wenbin couldn't resist pinching Su Jing's arm, feeling its firmness and elasticity.

"You can get strong too if you exercise more. Let's go." Su Jing entered the court, and Su Wenbin and Su Juan joined him, while the other boy cheered from the side.

"Don't be afraid. I think he's just a bit strong. Playing volleyball is more about height, flexibility, and technique. Muscles don't help much," the tall boy on the other side said, regaining his composure.

"Right, keep bullying them," the other boy laughed, and the girl with pigtails smiled mischievously.

"Let's start." One of the boys on the other side jumped to serve. He clearly had some skill, and the serve was very powerful. The ball came to their side of the court and dropped quickly, making it hard to receive.

"Bang!" Su Wenbin, who was in the path of the ball, barely managed to block it, sending it flying high but out of bounds.

"I'll take it." Su Jing suddenly jumped up, raising his arm. This surprised Su Wenbin, Su Juan, and the two boys and one girl on the other side. This position near the boundary, at this height, should have been controlled to a better position and angle, not directly jumped to hit the ball. It would be hard to score, let alone get the ball over the net.

However, when they saw Su Jing's body rise quickly, at least 1.2 meters off the ground, they all gaped. This was like a flying man.

"Quick, catch the ball." The girl with pigtails shouted, and the other two boys immediately dropped their arrogance and prepared seriously. Although they were proud, they weren't ignorant. Seeing Su Jing's jump height and perfect posture in the air, they knew that if the ball came over, it wouldn't be easy to handle.

"Bang!" Su Jing spiked the ball, and it shot over like a cannonball. The three on the other side were completely unprepared. Only the girl with pigtails felt a gust of wind, her left pigtail was blown, and then she heard a thud behind her as the ball landed in bounds.

"Damn, what happened?"

"What... what's going on?"

The two tall, thin boys were stunned, almost disbelieving their eyes.

Many tourists gathered around, their faces showing shock. Su Jing's move was simply astonishing.

"Why are you standing there? Keep playing." Su Jing smiled faintly, as if he had just done something ordinary.
