Bronze door through time and space

Chapter 926 Sun Xiaosheng

The internship continued, and in addition to patrolling, Yan Xu gradually came into contact with another circle, a circle hidden among the people.

Every year, so many people take the entrance exam for ASEAN universities. Some succeed, some fail, some make great strides, some achieve nothing, some join ASEAN, some join the army, some join the police. But that's not all. There are other options, such as self-employment or becoming a lackey.

The so-called self-operated business means opening hobby classes, tutoring classes, and martial arts schools, mainly making money from the public.

But being a dog is something else entirely; you can make money off rich people.

Regardless of the type, it represents a large influx of people with extraordinary martial arts skills into the general population.

As this type of person continues to accumulate, the Jianghu (江湖, a term referring to the underworld or江湖 community) naturally reappears.

Of course, anyone with a sound mind wouldn't choose to cause trouble; they'd only choose to make money.

The saying "The martial world is not just about fighting and killing" is further demonstrated here.

There's no way around it; setting aside the state's violent machinery, ASEAN alone is enough to make so-called civilian experts tremble with fear.

Moreover, many of the founders of ASEAN are still alive. Any one of them could cause as much of a stir as the Old Master descending the mountain, and they could all be slapped one by one.

Even so, no one wants to see turmoil and bloodshed, so oversight must be in place.

Unfortunately, there is never a shortage of ambitious people who fear nothing more than a peaceful world, nor a shortage of madmen who pursue supreme power. For example, the one they are supervising today, Sun Xiaosheng, is an extremely troublesome and difficult character.

Speaking of this person, Yan Xu also has an impression. Back then, the three-eyed prodigy caused such a big commotion that he was even taken in as a disciple by Master Jiu, one of the founders of ASEAN, which immediately sparked a craze among the people to find the prodigy.

It's unclear whether it was due to the revival of spiritual energy, but four prodigies were indeed found, all born on the same day, month, and year, which added to their mystique. Hence the saying: "East Three-Eyed, West Little Saint, South Lotus Root Overlord, North Fox Fairy," referring to these four super geniuses.

Yan Xu, who was born on the same day, month, and year as the other person, was also once highly anticipated, but...
Thinking back to those days when he hoped his son would become a dragon, Yan Xu's eyelids twitched. All sorts of supplements, all sorts of tutoring, all sorts of almost unrealistic expectations, and the constant mention of the sacrifices he made—it made him want to die.

Fortunately, his parents realized in time that a pheasant might fly out of a grass nest, but not a golden phoenix, which relieved him.

However, thanks to all this trouble, he did well in junior and senior high school, and even without activating the cheat code, he was good enough to get into ASEAN University.

But now that he has awakened his cheat ability and unexpectedly encountered one of the sources that caused him so much suffering back then, why is Yan Xu so eager to take advantage of it?

Unaware of the situation, Li Ling and Gao Jin followed the troublesome person from a distance in their car, hoping he would leave the area as soon as possible.

Of the four child prodigies, Sun Xiaosheng is the most restless. From a young age, he has enjoyed challenging all kinds of masters, whether they are from the common people or from various branches of ASEAN. Unfortunately, his master is Master Ikkyu, one of the founding figures of ASEAN, so everyone who sees him is in awe.

Fortunately, as he grew older and stronger, fewer and fewer masters could satisfy his desire for challenge, and his temperament gradually became more mature. This is also why Master Ikkyu did not stop him from going down the mountain to cause trouble, because only through tempering can he truly mature.

As soon as they left the city, Sun Xiaosheng stopped, turned around, stared at the car Li Ling was driving, and revealed a playful smile.

Li Ling and Gao Jin were stunned at first, but when they heard the crackling sound of electric current breaking through the air coming from the back seat of the car, they felt like they wanted to die.

I thought he was a well-behaved working boy, but it turns out he's a little devil.

"You're really good at pretending, but take it easy." Li Ling lit a cigarette, gave a wry smile, and then unlocked the car door electronic lock.

"It shouldn't take long." Yan Xu smiled slightly. His bio-energy began to strengthen the cells in his body, directly breaking through the limits of the human body and constantly increasing its intensity. The specially enhanced bio-electricity had begun to form a dense current, but it was obedient under his powerful control and did not damage any items in the car.

After Yan Xu got out of the car, he slowly walked towards Sun Xiaosheng, while Li Ling inside the car lit a cigarette for Gao Jin and said...

"I remember the other person was about the same age as Sun Xiaosheng."

“Not only the same year, but also the same month and day.” Gao Jin took out his phone, opened Yan Xu’s profile through an internal program, and after seeing the familiar date, he smiled wryly and said. “Interesting. If he wins, no, as long as he doesn’t lose too badly, then the four prodigies will become five prodigies,” Li Ling said.

Although these individuals are all adults, they are still called child prodigies due to a lack of opportunities to showcase their talents. However, the era in which they can finally display their abilities is coming soon. Perhaps this is the reason why so many geniuses have emerged in this era, just like the founding leaders of ASEAN during the Dark Ages.

"Although it's our first meeting, I have a feeling of familiarity with you, and..." Apart from his extraordinary energy and spirit, Sun Xiaosheng, who looked much like an ordinary handsome young man, stroked his chin and didn't immediately start fighting. Instead, he said with a hint of curiosity.

"A strange competitive spirit is welling up inside you, isn't it?" Yan Xu took off his shirt, revealing muscles that had become incredibly well-developed over time, and said.

“Yes, even if I encountered those three, I wouldn’t have been so impulsive.” Sun Xiaosheng nodded in agreement.

"Perhaps we were rivals in a past life, and we'll continue in this one." Yan Xu stretched and felt his condition becoming increasingly strange. Having never fought anyone before, his fighting instincts surged continuously, as if his body was anticipating something—no, even his soul was.

"Are you about to lose your temper?" Sun Xiaosheng said with a smile.

"I'm a superhuman, but I don't have the Buddhist ability to calm my mind and cultivate my character." Yan Xu shook his hand, then suddenly swung it, and a blinding bolt of lightning struck down.

"Actually, me too!" Sun Xiaosheng grinned, revealing a hint of ferocity. At the same time, golden light shone brightly around him, negating the power of the lightning. Then, he moved like a raging ape and threw a punch.

Golden light and lightning collided violently on the open ground on the outskirts of the city. The shockwave, like a punctured tire, exploded in all directions, and the rubble that was kicked up slammed into Li Ling's car, leaving a dense array of shallow dents. This gave her a headache, so she lit another cigarette because she had another report to write.

Upon receiving the blow, Yan Xu felt a tingling sensation in his arm. The opponent's fist, imbued with the fierce power of Buddhism, almost shattered his joints. Fortunately, his increasingly powerful bio-currents spun wildly, barely managing to deflect most of the impact. The ground beneath his feet was shaken and sank more than a foot deep, and this was only a negligible aftershock.

"What powerful Buddhist protective golden light!" Yan Xu narrowed his eyes. A net-like current flowed continuously around his body, making a crackling sound, which made all the cells in his body condense into a whole, otherwise he would not have been able to block the opponent's fist at all.

"It's a bit like the Maoshan Lightning Thunder Fist. Let me see who's stronger!" Sun Xiaosheng withdrew his fist, glanced at the residual electric current marks on it, and his smile deepened.

Before he finished speaking, Sun Xiaosheng suddenly took a step forward, and the ground cracked open with spiderweb-like patterns. He pounced like an arrow, creating a sharp sound as if he were tearing through the air.

Yan Xu's pupils contracted sharply, and his body instinctively moved several meters backward. The spot where he was standing seemed to have been hit by a cannonball, creating a large crater. And this was only the beginning of the enemy's fierce attack.

The immense pressure caused Yan Xu's newly awakened bio-electric current and psionic lightning to merge together. Nourished by the psionic energy, his cells expanded at a visible speed, his muscle lines became even more ferocious, and each step he took left a trail of afterimages. He moved across the open ground like a ghost, while his hands continuously swung out, sending bolts of lightning as thick as thighs, like whips and spears, attacking Sun Xiaosheng from all directions.

"What's the point of dodging? Take my punch head-on!" Sun Xiaosheng roared, his body radiating golden light. With the same special effects as a Super Saiyan, he charged straight at the lightning without dodging or avoiding it.

The lightning, powerful enough to pierce steel plates, struck him, but its power was weakened by 99% by the protective golden light. The remaining force could only leave faint scorch marks on Sun Xiaosheng's body, who was practicing Buddhist body-refining techniques, and could not cause any deeper damage.

Spurred on, Sun Xiaosheng's speed increased even more, his fists flying out like a storm, each punch accompanied by a whooshing sound, constantly compressing Yan Xu's space to dodge.

Fortunately, Yan Xu, who was surrounded by lightning, also gained lightning speed when he transformed into the Thunder King. Otherwise, if he had been caught and fought head-on, the outcome would have been hard to say.

Inside the car, Li Ling gripped the steering wheel tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force. She looked out the window at the figures that seemed to collide like two beams of light, her voice trembling slightly.

"Is this the world of geniuses?!"

Gao Jin swallowed hard. This was beyond the scope of normal superpowered individuals, and even more beyond their ability to handle. So, after exchanging a glance with Li Ling, he decisively reported the matter.

In fact, this was just a formality. Sun Xiaosheng's identity was special, and there was a satellite watching him from above. Therefore, the battle was noticed by the ASEAN leadership from the very beginning, which led to an emergency internal meeting.

Despite its small scale, every single person attending the meeting is a big shot whose every move can cause a stir.

As for whether it's worth it or not, if it's not worth it, it wouldn't bother them.
