The First Mix-First Volume Dragon Gate Inn Third Volume The Sword God of Debt Collection Chapter 11: Law (Monthly Ticket)

  The antenna on the roof of the hotel was blown away, several pieces of glass were cracked, and the apple tree branches at the entrance had almost all fallen off. Old Wu went over to comfort them one by one, fortunately, new leaves sprouted in a while. The surrounding area was like being hit by a typhoon, it can be said that Su Jing used his own sword energy to offset some of it, otherwise the house would have collapsed long ago.

  I gazed at the two large holes I had blown out of the doorway with my sword energy and muttered, "I'm going to go find a shovel."

  Su Jing smiled and stretched out her hand to push it, and the pit was immediately filled up.

  At this time, Gao Xiaowei ran over with small steps, her forehead sweating profusely, and she also felt that something was wrong. She stopped in her tracks, wiping the sweat and said: "What... is going on?"

  I casually said: "It was windy just now."

  "It wasn't windy at all, did you guys see it? The mountain across from us seems like it was blown up by someone?"

  "Hmm... you actually have great potential as an expert - by the way, what are you doing here?"

  Gao Xiaowei shook her clothes and said: "Running, isn't that what Sister Su told me to do?"

  "Did you really run away?" I said in surprise. This morning, I saw her door closed and thought she was still sleeping. I never thought she could get up so early.

  Gao Xiaowei ignored me and pulled Su Jingdao: "Sister, teach me something else today."

  Su Jingdao said: "You still need to consolidate yesterday's theory today and continue to find people to practice."

  Gao Xiaowei looked around: "Duan..."

  Before she finished speaking, Duan Tianya emerged from behind the tree and said in a low tone: "I'm here, let's start then." He added with a hint of resentment, "Brother bullies sister again, I've become your toy, you two siblings."

  Leaving them outside to practice, I and Su Jing entered the house. I observed his expression and found that he seemed to be in a good mood. I couldn't help but say: "The two moves I made earlier were pretty good, weren't they?"

  Su Jing nodded and said: "Not bad, if your opponent is Duan Tianya of this level, you can basically win steadily."

  "Are you kidding me?"

  Su Jingdao said: "If your sword energy is a bit more refined and your control is a bit more effortless, even the Sword Saint shouldn't be able to hurt you."

  "What does it mean?"

  "I was thinking about a question, you and I are both sword gods, is this set of methods applicable to you? Just now, it seems that you are more skilled at using your profound sword energy to overpower your opponents. I forced my techniques on you, which seems a bit arrogant."

  I exclaimed excitedly: "See, I told you so!"

  "So, our next step is to find back your own technique of defeating enemies!"

  I exclaimed in surprise: "Are you talking about Zhao Dan?"

  Su Jing asked Xiao Qian: "Xiao Qian, how many days will it take for you to recover?"

  Xiao Qian said: "Three days should be about it."

  Su looked at me and said: "That's three days, after three days, smoothly, we must go back no matter what."

  I took out my phone and said, "Let me give this kid a preventive shot first."

  I held the phone, but I didn't know what to say. My skills were accepted by Zhao Dan and helped him stand out from the provincial badminton team. If nothing unexpected happens, he will have a smooth road ahead of him and winning several world championships will be within his grasp. This is different from Wang Jinsong's situation. After Wang Jinsong acquired my sword energy, his personality changed, but the impact on his life was only minor. But for Zhao Dan, this is almost his destiny for life. If I take back my power, a brilliant international superstar will once again become a second-tier player in the provincial team. This is too cruel for a young person!

  The number had been dialed unknowingly, and it wasn't until after a pretty long time that Zhao Dan picked up. It could be heard that the other end was in an empty stadium, with occasional sounds of badminton being hit coming through. Zhao Dan seemed to have taken a sip of water before speaking slightly breathlessly: "Little Dragon?"

  "Ah, it's me."

  "Anything wrong?"

  "Are you training?"

  Zhao Dan smiled and said: "Nothing to say, now our coach is managing me in a relaxed way, I'm also taking a break."

  "Is the national team ready for you?"

  "All the formalities have been completed. In a few more days, I will go and report for duty."

  "My heart skipped a beat: 'Didn't Li Rui and Sun Ning both stab you in the back?'"

  Zhao Dan smiled and said: "It seems so, never mind, what's up?"

  I stammered: "I know it sounds ridiculous for me to say this, but have you ever thought about why you suddenly became so powerful?"

  Zhao Dan paused, and said with a smile: "Of course, it's also thanks to your and Xiaolong's wife's efforts. If she hadn't reminded me that day, I wouldn't have come up with such an abnormal serve." As he spoke, Zhao Dan laughed again, "You don't know, since I came up with this serve, our provincial team members have all gone crazy, one by one they can't get past the net!"

  I cautiously asked: "Is there success?"

  "Haha, no way! Our coaches are about to blow their tops. Now they can't even hit the ball without touching the net, not even the aunties on the street can beat them."

  "Have you ever thought about why you can be successful?"

  Zhao Dan was taken aback and said: "I really haven't thought of this."

  I changed the subject and asked: "Do you usually surf the internet?"

  "What's wrong?"

  "Do you believe in the supernatural powers inside?"

  "Xiao Long Ge, what's wrong with you? You're not more childish than me, are you? Can that thing be trusted?"

  Zhao Dan inexplicably said: "You didn't find me just to discuss the internet with me, did you?"

  "No, I'm telling you, something just happened to you that only happens in novels. The reason you can hit the net ball with such precision is because you've acquired an extraordinary ability, which originally belonged to me. Now I need it back to save someone, so I need you to return it to me. Can you understand what I'm saying?"

  Zhao Dan was silent for a moment, then hesitantly said: "Xiao Long Ge, you're not joking with me, are you?"

  I sighed and said, "You try it yourself, every ball can just clear the net, is it good luck or great technique? Some things outsiders can't understand, only you guys know, can badminton be played like this?"

  The person opposite me didn't respond for a long time, I called out to Zhao Dan twice before he came back to his senses, his tone was heavy as he replied: "I... even if I believe you, what do I need to do to return it to you?"

  I said: "You don't have to do anything, we will go find you."

  "Little Dragon Brother..." Zhao Dan murmured a sentence, but didn't continue.

  "What's wrong?" I understand that he is now, apart from a small half of half-believing and half-doubting, more lost, just like Wang Jinsen's mood when he first learned the truth, it's like the owner of the lottery station, watching the big prize of hundreds of millions pass through his hands.

  Zhao Dan hesitated and said: "If what you're saying is true... can I borrow it for three more days?"

  "What do you want to do?"

  "Please promise me, okay?" Zhao Dan said resolutely.

  "I thought and said: 'Anyway, we originally planned to look for you three days later, so just play for three days.'"

  "Thanks Little Dragon Brother!"

  I hung up the phone and finally put an end to a worry, smiling: "Nowadays university students' quality is really good, such a large debt was agreed to be repaid with just one phone call."

  Su suddenly said: "What does he want three days for?"

  I said: "I don't know, but since he agreed, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

  "Hei Shan Lao Yao said: 'That's hard to say, maybe he wants to use these three days to run far away?'"

  "I exclaimed: 'Take a large sum of money and abscond? The problem is that even if he runs away, what can he do with it? Is there any bank in the world that can cash this thing out?'"

  "Hei Shan Lao Yao said: 'Or else it's going to be something bad.'"

  I still have a good impression of Zhao Dan, and upon hearing her say that, I couldn't help but say: "Don't measure others by your own petty standards."

  "Hei Shan Lao Yao sneered: 'Anyway, if it were me, I wouldn't return it. You didn't steal or rob, but instead sent it to me yourself, so why should I give it back to you?'"

  Old Wu frowned and said: "Little Hei, what kind of values are these?"

  "Heh heh, I was just guessing based on common sense," said the old demon of Hei Shan. "After all, that kid was going to become the number one martial arts student anyway? With this commotion, isn't his future completely ruined?"

  I said: "More powerful than the number one martial artist, the world's number one martial artist." As I said this, I regretfully said, "Originally could have made some contributions to the country's badminton career, if this year's badminton gold medal is lost, we will be sinners of the state!"

  Old Wu thought: "Using your strength to grab a gold medal doesn't seem quite right, does it? What's the difference between this and taking stimulants?"

  "There's still a difference, after all. My power is ultimately not something I cultivated in my past life? Now I'm willing to give it to whoever I want, this is just like the rich second generation inheriting property, neither glorious nor humble. Besides, heaven has never been fair to people, just like some people are born to be sword gods, can't help it."

  Jin Chengwu laughed and scolded: "You really deserve to be struck by lightning."

  I asked Su Jing with a proud smile: "If I get my skills back and you can't beat me, will you be very disappointed?"

  Su Jing smiled and said, "You really don't know the height of heaven and earth. Do you think you were that fierce just now? Let me tell you this, if I wanted to subdue you, it would take at least 10 moves, but to kill you, not even 3 moves are needed."

  "I pouted and said, 'Isn't my current setup still incomplete?'"

  Su Jing's expression turned cold and she said: "Speaking of this, we really have two very serious problems that need to be solved."

  "What's wrong?"

  "Firstly, all your powers have been acquired by others, charm is not a must, physical stability has been recovered, only speed is still with that flying thief Zhao Tingdao. Through the exchange just now, I found that you are severely lacking in speed, if this attribute is not retrieved, you will never become a true sword god."

  I said: "Next time we meet him, just catch him and it's done?"

  Su Jing smiled bitterly and said: "The crux of the matter lies here. I couldn't even catch him, let alone anyone else under the heavens who could match his speed!"

  "Isn't this a bit too exaggerated? As I recall, both you and I are Sword Gods, so you shouldn't be losing to him."

  Su Jingdao said: "Maybe it's related to professional habits. A flying thief took your strength and played with it, making it even harder to catch him."

  Hei Shan Lao Yao said: "There's also a possibility that Little Dragon was exceptionally good at running away in his past life."

  Su Jing glared at her and said, "Don't talk nonsense." Although she didn't like me, Long Yangyang, she still admired my past deeds. Whenever someone spoke ill of the Sword God, she would become unhappy instead.

  "I said: 'What about the second question?'"

  "Secondly, there's Baidu Ren. It seems he has regained his scattered sword energy during this period. His cultivation is already subtly surpassing mine, and he definitely won't be idle. If we join forces now, we can barely suppress him, but if the remaining sword energy is found by him first, the consequences are unthinkable. By then, no one will be able to rival him. We still have many things to do, while he can focus solely on one thing. This person is currently the biggest hidden danger."

  "What's to be done?"

  Su Jing's eyes were firm and determined as she said, "I will definitely think of a way."

  This was the sound of shouting and cheering from outside, we stood at the door and saw that Gao Xiaowei and Duan Tianya were in a heated battle. Although Gao Xiaowei had only learned theory for one day, she now seemed to have some presence, her movements were focused and thoughtful, sometimes even able to exchange several moves with Duan Tianya in a similar manner, it was clear that she hadn't spared any effort the night before.

  Su Jing walked out with his hands behind his back, muttering to himself: "Xiao Wei's intuition is really not bad, I've taken a liking to her."

  I couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time: "With this little ancestor's personality, you also dare to like?"

  Su Jing looked at me and asked back: "Is she inherently bad?"

  I stroked my chin and said, "It's not that it's bad or anything, but kicking someone in the eggs for no reason isn't a good thing to do, is it?"

  Su Jingdao said: "This is probably due to your Aunt Meng, children brought up in such a family are normally a bit reckless, as long as they don't bully others."

  I think so too, Gao Xiaowei is indeed overbearing, but she never bullies kids weaker than herself. On the contrary, I often see her standing up for others, just like a female Li Kui.

  "What a pity she's not from the Federation Continent, or I'd truly take her in as a disciple and pass on my swordsmanship to her. With time, she'll be a great help to my daughter Guo."

  "I hastily said: 'You'd better not harm her, I won't let her get involved.'"

  "By the way, you're so capable, why haven't you taken in a disciple who can help with menial tasks?"

  "No time."

  I laughed and said: "You're so fat you're out of breath, or is it that people think you're too young to be with?"

  Su Jing smiled faintly: "On the mainland, there are many people who want to be my apprentice, and some dignitaries even use their connections or come in person to pressure me into accepting their children as apprentices, including members of the royal family."

  "Then you won't accept it, isn't that offending people?"

  Su Jing said proudly: "Will I be afraid of offending people?"

  I suddenly said: "Right, you are the loyal and virtuous duke appointed by the empress."

  Su Jingdao said: "That's just a title, I didn't want to accept it, but I was afraid the Empress would think I had a mind to escape the world, so I reluctantly accepted."

  I laughed and said: "You speak as if you're doing someone a favor or giving them face."

  Su Jingdao said, "To be honest, it's actually like this. I accepted her title for two reasons: one is to make the emperor feel at ease, and the other is to make the people feel at ease, so they have something to look forward to. In our eyes, what do titles of nobility really amount to?"

  I waved my hand hastily: "Don't mention us, I just like being a civil servant, why doesn't the Empress grant me an official title?"

  Su Jingdao said, "That's because she's afraid you'll be too mindful. As the Sword God and a citizen of Nü'er Guo, she appointed you as an official to avoid losing face in front of the royal family. Mainly, she was afraid that you would harbor resentment, so it's better to let you leave."

  I sighed and said: "Am I really so arrogant?"

  In the afternoon, Su Jing again supported me and Duan Tianya to practice swordsmanship. Duan Tianya was originally very reluctant, but Su Jing said: "After this matter is over, I will guarantee that you will be promoted to a late-stage Sword Master within a year." Only then did Duan Tianya joyfully agree. Being a mid-term Sword Master is already the peak for the vast majority of people, and it's also the same for top-notch experts. Su Jing made such a promise, so he naturally had profound training methods to reward Duan Tianya, so he was considered to have gained a great advantage.

  This time, Tian Ya was a bit timid before we even started, repeatedly reminding me: "You'd better be careful, you're still the Sword God even if you're just a water goods..."

  "Alright, alright, I've got it. If I need you, I'll call."

  The result was still Duan Tianya taking the initiative - in fact, there was no initiative to speak of, when I didn't have sword energy, he wanted to kill me and it wasn't more complicated than pinching a dead ant. I was still holding the shoe horn, waving and chopping randomly, without any technique or skill. Duan Tianya started to get arrogant again, with one hand on his waist and the other hand holding the shoe horn, occasionally poking me, or swinging a sword flower, although he didn't say anything, but the intention of showing off was very clear.

  However, that familiar feeling in the dantian suddenly returned again in the morning. I stopped my hand and said to Duan Tiangou with a cold expression: "Get out of the way."

  Duan Tianya was still in a daze and muttered: "What's up?"

  I didn't say a word, and with one hand, I made a swift motion. Suddenly, a huge hole appeared beside Duan Tianya. He was taken aback, let out a loud "Ah", and quickly escaped behind the tree...

  I grasped the shoe horn and swung it a few times at the distant Jiuzi Mountain, and immediately there was another earth-shattering response. I turned back to Duan Tiangong and said, "See? This is what sword energy looks like!"

  Duan Tianya half-heartedly gave me a thumbs up from behind the tree, but didn't dare come out.

  It's still the same as last time. After about two or three minutes, the dantian suddenly calmed down, and I threw away the shoe horn: "Come out, this is over."

  Duan Tianya dodged and weaved around him, his heart still racing as he said, "You're really scary when you do that!"

  Su Jing also came out and said: "Xiao Long, you can try summarizing the rules. In what kind of situation will the sword energy return to the dantian?"

  I racked my brains for half a day, and it seems that there is no rule at all. The first time I encountered the bad road was at noon, today's first time was in the morning, and now it's afternoon again, which means that there is no clue to be found in terms of time, and location is not a problem either. I thought hard - could it be related to what I ate? It doesn't seem to be that either.

  Su Jing saw me deep in thought for a while and asked anxiously, "Have you figured it out?"

  I gazed up at the sky and said, "So far it seems like there's only one rule."

  "What is it?"

  "That's right, no rules -" I added another sentence: "Just like playing hide-and-seek."

  Su Jing: "......"
