Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System

"Mm." Su Tu politely replied.

Liu Tianfang's eyes instantly lit up upon receiving the answer.

"Hmph! These little girls are practically glued to this guy. Look at this pretty boy, he's just a decorative pillow!"

"I'll show you the difference between him and me right now!"

Liu Tianfang thought to himself, though he didn't have any ill intentions, just a little guy trying to show off and get more attention from the girls.

Su Tu saw through this childish display in an instant.

Su Tu had no interest in this childish kid.

He just responded with a brief statement and didn't want to engage further.

"Bro, do you know about the Ancient Forest Training Camp? It's the camp only elites and geniuses can join."

But Liu Tianfang wouldn't let it go and kept talking to those around him.

Su Tu said, "I've heard a bit about it."

"Then I know!"

"You're going to the Ancient Forest to widen your horizons, to see how those prodigies train, aren't you?"

"Let me tell you, bro, don't aim too high. Judging by your looks, you probably haven't unlocked many acupoints, and you can't handle those geniuses. If you're not careful, your heart and spirit could get hurt."

"I'll put it this way, the other day at the Martial Arts Department test, a martial artist single-handedly blocked hundreds of martial artists out. I'd estimate he's unlocked at least over ninety acupoints."

Liu Tianfang spoke rapidly like a machine gun, as if he had witnessed the scene himself.

In his words, he had directly categorized Su Tu as inferior to himself.

"How do you know his acupoints aren't unlocked as many as yours? Maybe this dude has unlocked over ninety too." Hua Hua couldn't help but speak up for Su Tu.

Liu Tianfang pouted upon hearing this.

"Do you know what over ninety acupoints mean? Only students from those top-tier families guarding the North Sea can achieve that."

"If he were from such a background, he wouldn't be taking the floating train. He'd definitely have a private ride."

"What you said isn't exactly right." Su Tu seized the opportunity to speak.

"The Martial Arts Department's test is actually conducted within a strong person's Heart and Spirit Divine Power, and those blocking the entry weren't martial artists who unlocked ninety acupoints, but one who unlocked a hundred and eight."

While speaking, Su Tu tidied his clothes.

"You make it sound so real. Did you see it for yourself?"

Liu Tianfang felt a bit embarrassed by this rebuttal, his complexion a bit displeased, resembling a darkened large winter pear.

Hearing Liu Tianfang's words, Su Tu's lips curved up, finding it too time-consuming to argue with such a kid.

But the more he reacted this way, the more Liu Tianfang felt triumphant.

"Let me tell you, for a martial artist, it's most important to be grounded. Don't believe everything. There aren't that many geniuses with fully unlocked acupoints in this world."

"I reckon your mindset is such that your martial arts cultivation might still only have opened 18 acupoints."

Liu Tianfang spoke with a lecturing tone.

"About right." Su Tu replied as if teasing a neighbor's kid.

Hearing this, Liu Tianfang finally squinted his eyes with satisfaction, scanning the girls around, hoping to see admiration in their eyes.

But... darn it, the girls' gazes never left Su Tu!

"It's okay, it doesn't matter if your cultivation is a bit slow. My brother told me that today's Martial Arts Dao isn't about speed, but about distance traveled."

Hua Hua blinked her blossom-like eyes, comforting Su Tu.

Liu Tianfang wilted instantly.

After building himself up so much from the side, he still couldn't compare to the other guy's looks.

"That's a good point, your brother is quite perceptive."

Su Tu nodded in agreement; Zhou Wuliang had said the same before.

"Tch, what does the pace or distance traveled matter to someone with only eighteen acupoints opened."

Liu Tianfang grumbled under his breath.

Just then, two people walked over together, and upon seeing one of them, Liu Tianfang's eyes lit up.

"Brother!!" he called out.

One of the young men smiled upon seeing Liu Tianfang: "Tianfang, are you also heading to the Ancient Forest?"

"Yup, my dad said even if I can't join the training camp, it's good to mingle with so many geniuses and soak up some of their luck."

"Hahaha! Uncle Liu is still the same." The young man laughed as he walked up to Liu Tianfang.

Liu Tianfang proudly glanced at the girls.

"This is my brother. He participated in the Martial Arts Department selection the other day and successfully registered for the training camp."

He said this with a sense of bragging, like a child showing off a toy.

The other girls widened their eyes and looked at him.

The training camp's selection eliminated over seven hundred people in one go, so those who successfully registered are considered extraordinary geniuses in the eyes of ordinary martial artists.

Feeling the surprised gazes, the young man felt rather pleased with himself.

He was just about to say something.

But his peripheral vision caught Su Tu observing all this with interest.

Suddenly, his whole body froze.

Su Tu's gaze coincidentally sized him up. He looked somewhat familiar.

"Oh..."

Su Tu remembered. This guy seemed to have tried breaking through the door in the Heart and Soul Illusion Dream where he was, only to have his head grabbed and smashed by Su Tu.

Something like that.

Given the crowd trying to break through back then, Su Tu honestly did not remember clearly.

"You.. no... why are you on this train?"

The young man stammered, looking at Su Tu.

"I'm going to the training camp."

Su Tu replied truthfully.

"Pfft, bro, you're out of your mind. My brother opened eighty-seven acupoints to qualify for the camp. You, with your eighteen acupoints, what are you going to train in, how to brag?"

Perhaps feeling emboldened by his brother's presence, Liu Tianfang's words became more provocative.

But just as he finished speaking.

His brother's expression changed.

PAH!!

A slap landed directly on Liu Tianfang's face.

"Sorry, this child is still young and speaks without restraint. Please don't take it to heart." The man looked at Su Tu as if facing a formidable enemy, even a few drops of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

Seeing this situation, Su Tu was a bit speechless.

How easygoing he was, yet the other's behavior made him seem like some villain.

Actually, it wasn't really the other person's fault for being tense.

In the Heart and Soul Illusion Dream battle, Su Tu's killing was so fierce, that with just one face-to-face encounter, he nearly knocked a person out, and many martial artists could only see a fist bigger than a bowl coming at them before fainting.

The power of that punch, thinking back, still made him feel a shudder in his liver.

In the face of such an overwhelming disparity in strength, people instinctively showed respect, viewing many inadvertent minor matters as an offense to a strong person.

Just like now, Su Tu actually didn't care about Liu Tianfang at all, but this person felt that his brother had already committed a grave crime.

"It's okay, don't be nervous." Su Tu waved his hand helplessly.

"Thank you for your forgiveness!" The man bowed at a ninety-degree angle very respectfully and even pushed Liu Tianfang's head down to bow together.

Liu Tianfang liked to show off, but he wasn't stupid. Seeing his brother like this, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Oh no!! I seem to have tried to show off to some big shot.

Who would think that a big shot would ride a maglev train and joke around with me, wasn't it said he only unlocked eighteen apertures, why is my brother so scared?

The other young girls watching this scene were all dumbfounded.

Especially Hua Hua, looking at the calm Su Tu, could only feel her heart flutter.

Afterward, the man quickly grabbed a bewildered Liu Tianfang by the collar and dragged him away, disappearing from Su Tu's sight.

"Bro!! Who is that person?" Liu Tianfang held his face, about to cry.

His brother slapped him so hard that his face was about to swell.

"Who? Your brother was knocked out by him with one punch, who do you think he is."

"Huh?? He is that…" Liu Tianfang looked in disbelief in the direction of Su Tu's seat.

Just now, I actually wanted to gain some presence by borrowing this monster who blocked a hundred martial artists at the door alone??

And I said he was an 18 aperture martial artist??

Oh my gosh!! I must be crazy...

...

The train slowly came to a stop.

Su Tu lifted his bag and walked out the door, rubbing his slightly throbbing temples.

Descending deep into the Sea of Suffering consumed too much heart and spirit; even with Su Tu's current heart and spirit strength, he couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache.

"Are you going to join the training camp?"

"I have a car coming to pick me up, do you need a ride?"

Hua Hua walked up to Su Tu at this time.

Normally, Hua Hua wasn't like this. Although she didn't come from a top family, she naturally had a good background to be able to interact with the Martial Arts Dao. Over the years, she had seen many people with outstanding looks.

But Su Tu seemed to have some kind of magic that made her always want to do something for him.

"No need, my classmate said she would come pick me up."

Su Tu waved his phone, and in the Tayue Squad group, Mo Ya was @ing him, asking when he would arrive so she could pick him up on the way.

Honestly, ever since obtaining half of the Celestial Charm skill, Su Tu always felt that the girls around him seemed more friendly towards him.

He didn't know whether it was an illusion, but over the years, he had actually gotten used to it and didn't pay much attention.

"I..." Hua Hua wanted to say something more.

Suddenly, a huge shadow covered the sky above.

Only to see a luxurious airship floating above the train station.

The airship was inlaid with various kinds of jewels, very gaudy but... extremely expensive.

"Su Tu! Get up here!!"

The moment the airship's door opened, Su Tu saw Mo Ya shouting at him.

"If you need to go anywhere, I can give you a ride."

Su Tu turned his head to look at Hua Hua.

"No...no need." Hua Hua had never seen such an ostentatious airship, her voice even stuttered.

"Okay, bye-bye."

Su Tu waved politely and then slightly squatted.

Suddenly exerting force, the whole person seemed like a cannonball, and with a twist in his form, he borrowed power from the surrounding buildings.

In an instant, he moved up to the airship directly.

"Oh my gosh... how much would this cost..."

On the ground, Liu Tianfang wished he could slap himself a few more times; if he could cling to such a bigwig, and sit in this airship just once, he could brag about it for the rest of his life!

Hua Hua's expression dimmed a bit.

The fantasy that had arisen in her heart was gently extinguished.

From the beginning, they were not on the same level; being able to speak a few words was already her luck.

"Mo Ya, isn't this airship too flashy?"

Su Tu lay on the sofa bigger than his bed, looking somewhat disdainfully at his surroundings.

The entire airship was filled with various gold and silver jewels without any sense of aesthetics, just extreme 'luxury'.

"If you have money, you have to show it off, otherwise what would the efforts of my family for generations be for?"

Mo Ya pouted and said.

"You're really something, taking Tang Yangwu's car would suffice, why insist on riding the train."

Su Tu chuckled, without saying anything.

He had a good relationship with Tang Yangwu, but recently there was a vaguely cautious feeling in his heart.

Not sure if it's because his Spiritual Wisdom Proficiency improved, Su Tu recalled everything more clearly, the family Tang Yangwu hails from is powerful.

Even if a descendant is not talented, with enough resources from such a family, they can produce a martial artist.

But Tang Yangwu's brother was just an ordinary person and... even a playboy?

This fact was strange, since practicing martial arts, Su Tu had interacted with many scions from prestigious families; some were arrogant, some were humble, but none were useless.

Originally, these didn't have much to do with Su Tu, but his instinct was alerting him.

Something wasn't right.
