Proficiency: Cultivated 10 Million Times

Chapter 27 Green-Spotted Snake

The green-spotted snake slithered back and forth, then suddenly jumped at Song Hezheng

Even on land, its instantaneous burst of speed did not slow down at all.

Even Song Hezheng, who was at the fourth level of Body Tempering, could only stretch out his arm to block it. He could not do anything else.

Song’s arm was about to be bitten. It was enough for Song’s entire arm to be bitten off by the snake’s strength.

At the critical moment, Wang Yu used his leg technique to reach Song in time. He predicted the snake’s movements in advance and punched using the Hong Family Fist’s power together with the Shadowless Fist’s speed technique.

Initially, he wanted to hit the snake’s head or its heart. However, this green-spotted snake was too fast. Even though he had predicted its movements, it was still difficult to accurately hit it.

In the end, this punch landed on half of the snake’s body. Fortunately, Wang Yu’s Hong Family Fist technique was already at the third level, so the ferocious fist force was enough to knock the green-spotted snake to the ground.

The green-spotted snake was in pain. It turned around angrily and bit Wang Yu’s arm.

Song Hezheng and Sun Chengshan’s expressions changed upon seeing it.

“Junior!”

“Yu!”

However, with a cracking sound, the green-spotted snake’s mouth was stuck on Wang Yu’s arm.

The scene paused.

The green-spotted snake had a ferocious appearance, with its mouth spraying a fishy smell, and the mucus in its mouth dropping to the ground.

However, it was unable to bite off Wang Yu’s arm. Instead, it bit through his jacket, revealing a white steel plate.

Several fangs of the green-spotted snake’s mouth were embedded in the steel plate.

Only then did Sun Chengshan come to himself. He immediately clenched his fists and rushed forward.

No matter how fast the green-spotted snake was, it could not escape the encirclement of the three of them and was killed on the spot.

It was not until the three of them dragged the green-spotted snake’s corpse back to the stone slope that they heaved a sigh of relief.

“Master, are you alright?” Wang Yu asked when he saw that the wound on Sun Chengshan’s arm was still bleeding.

“I’m fine.” Sun Chengshan smiled and let Song Hezheng treat his wound.

“It’s all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for Hezheng to escape.”

“Thank you for saving my life, Junior Brother!” Song Hezheng quickly thanked him again.

After all, Wang Yu had risked a lot to save him.

With Wang Yu’s usually steady personality, this was indeed not easy.

“Senior Brother, you’re being too polite.” Wang Yu waved his hand.

After all, they were from the same sect. Since Sun Chengshan and Song Hezheng were in trouble, it was impossible for him to leave them in the lurch.

These two people were considered the two important figures that Wang Yu had encountered when he stepped into the Martial scene. They had taught him a lot.

Even if he risked it, it was only right.

“However, although I told you to prepare well, I didn’t expect you to be so prepared.”

Sun Chengshan looked at the steel plate revealed by Wang Yu’s torn clothes.

There were still bite marks left by the green-spotted snake. Fortunately, it was not bitten through

“Master said that this tide might be more dangerous than before, so we naturally have to do some protection work. After all, it’s not as safe outside as in the dojo.”

As Wang Yu spoke, his expression remained the same. He calmly removed the slightly damaged steel plate on his arm, but what was revealed was still not his skin. Instead, it was the second layer of steel plate that was tightly wrapped around his forearm, shining brightly.

Then, Wang Yu took a heavy box he had brought along and several similar steel plates were inside. The surrounding disciples and even Sun Chengshan were dumbfounded.

“Yu, could it be that you were also wearing these when you went to the Nightsleepers’ Gathering?” Sun Chengshan suddenly couldn’t help but ask.

“Of course, that’s a long trip after all,” Wang Yu said as if it was matter-of-fact.

As far as he was concerned, it was nothing more than basic self-protection.

If not for the fact that wearing too many of these steel plates would affect his agility and speed, he would have long been covered in many layers.

Instead of wearing only a thin layer of armor on his legs and torso.

In his opinion, these civilian martial artists were the unreasonable ones. They relied on their strong bodies and did not wear any protective guards. They traveled light every day to fight with others.

Although if they won like this, it would make them look heroic and dashing

But this was not safe enough. It could kill them if they were to lose. The cost of being dashing was too much.

The guardian’s specially-made armor looked very secure. However, the cost of making it was extraordinarily high.

With Wang Yu’s current wealth, he was still unable to obtain it.

“Why don’t you give it a try? I still have a few spares,” Wang Yu suggested.

“I’ll pass. As the head of a dojo, it’s not appropriate to wear these to a fight.”

Sun Chengshan was still more concerned about his image as a master outside. He was afraid that others would gossip about him and leave the impression that he was afraid of dying. He felt that this might affect the reputation of the martial arts school.

Although Song Hezheng did not care about his image, seeing that his master was not wearing it, he thanked Wang Yu for his good intentions and followed suit.

Wang Yu felt that it was a pity, but he did not force him. That was the current trend.

“This green-spotted snake is a big treasure. Its nutritional value is not inferior to that of the poisonous vine octopus. It’s a blessing in disguise to have caught one.”

“Just the snake meat on it alone is probably 50 to 60 pounds. Just these alone are worth at least 80 to 90 thousand dollars.” Sun Chengshan smiled. Even if he was injured because of this, he did not feel that it was a loss.

When he saw a few disciples carrying the corpse of the green-spotted snake and spilling a lot of snake blood along the way, he immediately glared at them angrily.

The blood of this green-spotted snake was also a tonic that was very beneficial to martial artists. What they spilled was money. “Master, do you want to go back and recuperate first?” Song Hezheng was still more or less worried about Sun Chengshan’s injuries.

“What are you talking about? The tide has just begun. How can I go back just like that?

“Back then, I had experienced greater storms. This small injury is nothing. Hezheng, you don’t have to worry about me.” Sun Chengshan waved his hand.

Song Hezheng had no choice but to keep quiet.

Just then, an even bigger wave came crashing down.

The huge wave splashed onto everyone.

The waves sparkled.

A large number of thin-leaf fish were swept ashore. At a rough glance, there were at least hundreds of them.

“Oh my god!” Liu Mei exclaimed. She covered her mouth and her eyes lit up.

These fish were all treasures that were worth more than gold. With so many of them appearing, how could they not be excited?

“Master, you guard the cargo box. We will take care of the fish,” Song Hezheng said immediately.

“Alright, be careful. I’ll guard it. Call me if there’s any danger.” Sun Chengshan nodded.

The thin leaf fish did not have much offensive ability after coming ashore. Even second-level Body Tempering disciples like Willow Brows and Iron He could quickly capture them.

This showed the advantage of having more people.

More than ten disciples attacked together and snatched a lot of fish in no time.

“I’m rich, I’m rich!” Zhang Erdan was overjoyed.

Many disciples in the martial arts school were actually born in poverty or from ordinary families in the island town. They had not seen much money in their lives.

After this tide, when they returned to the martial arts school, Sun Chengshan would distribute the spoils to them one by one. The profits from this trip would probably be equivalent to their parents’ hard work for a year or even more. How could they not be happy?
