Water elemental became a god, ultimately becoming the master of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers

Chapter 45 The stupid young man

Late at night, Chen Shunan was half asleep.

Whispers echoed in my ears—

"The molting is getting worse, even developing snake-like patterns. The backlash from the technique is so troublesome and bizarre! Why is there no record of this in the true techniques? Oh well, I'll take another bath. Although Chen Shun'an is shrewd and mercenary, he has indeed done my Li family a favor..."

[Wish +4]

"The quilt is soft and the bed is warm, the bedding is like new, much more comfortable than the beds in the orphanage and the Caimen... I heard it was blessed water given by Mr. Chen? Mr. Chen seems to be a good person, but it's a pity that good people don't live long. How should I explain the secret medicine and massage?"

[Wish +3]

...

[Wish +27]

[Wish: 113]

Secret medicine?

Chen Shunan mumbled something, still half asleep, and turned over.

With his wondrous voice of 330, and the assistance of a spirit fish, why would he need any secret medicine?
As for massage to improve blood circulation?

A tough guy doesn't need massage to improve blood circulation!

……

"Good heavens, Ahua has reached the third-rate perfection level?!"

The next morning, he carried a water bag around his waist and a small bag on his back.

As soon as Chen Shunan entered the alley of Weiheng Street, he heard the voices of several Shui San'er, some surprised and some envious.

Chen Shunan's heart stirred, and he saw Ahua standing tall in an open area below the well, with a reserved smile on his face.

A burly, robust man named Shui San'er clutched his chest, curled up on the ground, and gasped in pain.

Several Shui San'er, who were sparring or practicing standing meditation nearby, also stopped what they were doing and looked over here.

Their gazes differed, but they all silently marveled at how the younger generation surpasses the older.

Ah Hua, this young man, is truly remarkable.

Manager Li also came out from under the shed, wearing a long gown, with a smile on his face, nodding from time to time.

"I've offended Brother Wei."

Ahua stepped forward and helped the person on the ground up.

Noticing the burning gazes of the group of Shui San'er, Brother Wei's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

After all, he had the upper hand in his previous sparring and practice sessions with Ahua.

He always acted like a senior, instructing or even scolding Ahua.

In just a few years, the roles of offense and defense have completely changed!
"It's alright, Ahua. You've practiced diligently and conscientiously for many years, and your natural talent is also quite good. It's only natural that you've reached the third-rate perfection level at the age of just over twenty..."

Maybe I can break through to second-rate status before I turn thirty. Just don't forget about your older brother then!

Wei suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, clasped his hands and smiled.

"Of course, of course, Brother Wei, you're too kind!"

Ahua quickly said.

The suddenly wealthy San Dezi, the rising star Ahua, and Chen Shunan, who is highly regarded by Coach Lin...

Liu Daoba, who had been quietly practicing his boxing, suddenly felt a strong sense of urgency.

Why is it that even after I've given up all the desires I shouldn't have, I still can't keep up with these people?!
Upon seeing Chen Shunan, Liu the Scarface revealed a smile.
"Brother Chen."

Chen Shunan smiled.

Today, San Dezi changed back into his short jacket and cloth shoes, showing no trace of yesterday's wealth and smugness, and mingled with a group of Shui San'er.

San Dezi, like everyone else, congratulated and encouraged Ahua. Seeing Chen Shunan arrive, he approached and greeted him.

"Brother Chen is here! Have you eaten yet? If not, let's push the cart to Erdao Street later, have a bowl of millet porridge with some baked buns, and chat a bit!"

Chen Shunan chuckled and said, "Oh my, San Dezi, you've really struck it rich!"

"Uncle Chen..."

The two were exchanging pleasantries when a voice suddenly interrupted them.

Then Ahua strode over, looking excited and eager to try, and bowed to Chen Shunan, saying...

"I have long heard that Uncle Chen's 'Flesh Immortal' is a superior lightness skill. I am not very talented, but I would like to ask for your guidance. Please enlighten me, Uncle Chen!"

Chen Shunan asked with a half-smile, "Are you sure?"

The sound silenced the once noisy alley. Many of the onlookers looked on with displeasure.

Ah Hua is such a hothead!

He didn't care if he asked others for advice, even second-rate martial artists like Sun Xiao and Cheng Bin.

Losing is losing, no one is ashamed.

But people like Chen Shunan, who are in demand, and Lao Shui San'er, each have their own backgrounds and identities.

If I really lose to you, Ahua, wouldn't I be ruined in my later years? How could I face people after that? How could I be a brother?!

Doesn't that also slap us old folks in the face?

Besides, fists and feet don't discriminate, and if Old Chen gets hurt again, it will be difficult to explain to anyone!
But words spoken are like water spilled; they cannot be taken back.

Someone snorted coldly, their eyes filled with malice.

Some people shook their heads helplessly, simply assuming that the young people were naive and didn't know what was important.

Some people looked on with curiosity.

Manager Li frowned, took a few steps forward, and prepared to stop this farce and maintain harmony at the well.

"Instructor Lin is here?"

A respectful voice came from behind.

Lin Shouzhou strode over, his rough clothes barely concealing his muscular build and sharp features. His menacing gaze made him unapproachable.

"What happened?"

Sensing the strange atmosphere in the alley, Lin Shouzhou asked in a cold voice.

Someone whispered a few words in Lin Shouzhou's ear. Lin Shouzhou suddenly realized what was happening, looked at Chen Shunan and Ahua, and said nonchalantly,

"It's nothing, just asking for advice. Why are you being so coy like a woman? Hurry up and call. I'll keep an eye on things for you two. We need to get the water delivered soon."

Since Coach Lin has said so, there's nothing anyone can do to stop him, even if they want to.

Manager Li glanced helplessly at Lin Shouzhou, shook his head, and ultimately said nothing more.

Soon, the crowd cleared a path for Chen Shunan and his companion, making room for them.

Coach Lin took a puff of his pipe, exhaling smoke, his face becoming rosy as he looked towards the open space.

Ahua also practices lightness skills, although it is only a mid-level martial art, not as good as Chen Shunan's "Flesh Flying Immortal".

But youth has its advantages, and Ah Hua was, after all, a young man full of vigor and passion. Many people did not have a high opinion of Chen Shunan.

But Coach Lin had a sharp eye. His gaze swept over the two of them, and he suddenly felt that Chen Shunan was too calm, as if he had everything under control.

"what?"

Lin Shouzhou put down his pipe, waved his hand to disperse the smoke, and looked at the two people in the room with great interest.

He had a feeling that the final outcome would be quite unexpected.

Ahua said, "I've offended Uncle Chen."

Chen Shunan said, "I'm a few rounds older than you, so you make the first move."

Ahua looked at Chen Shunan opposite him, let out a long breath, clasped his hands in a fighting stance, but a fierce glint flashed deep in his eyes.

That old bastard who's still not dead!
A surge of madness rose in his heart, and all of Ahua's strength and blood energy burst forth at this moment. He bent his knees, arched his body, and flashed forward like a startled bird!

His body moved up and down, left and right, and his feet pounded on the bluestone slabs without making a sound.

In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Chen Shunan, his fists filled with ferocity as he grabbed and forced his way in!

Ahua's move was almost a full-force effort, condensing his vital energy and willpower.

It seemed that all the resentment and frustration that he had kept hidden from others had been released!
In the darkness, he even grasped a trace of the ultimate essence of the "Startled Sparrow Skill".

The joints between my bones feel itchy, as if new blood is flowing through them.

Many people present could not even see Ahua's movements clearly.

Only those at the peak of the third level, or even Sun Xiao and Instructor Lin, could clearly see Ahua's move. It was extremely brilliant, almost the pinnacle of his level.

but……

In Chen Shunan's eyes, Ahua was too slow.

Like a tortoise shifting its wings, its moves are full of flaws, and its vital energy is extremely weak.

But it was just right for Chen Shunan, who was in the late stages of his second-rate career.

A very good opponent for head-to-head competition!
