Ultimate: Gangster Youth, starting with release from prison

Does anyone know what Zhao Yun actually did?

"Principal, I've heard of it!" Jiang Gan stepped out from the crowd.

Six days ago, Hedong University searched for children under the age of ten from all over the country and coerced them into signing a life-or-death contract, binding them to Hedong University forever.

Upon hearing of this, Zhao Yun went alone to the Hedong School, where the children were being imprisoned. He overcame numerous obstacles and rescued the imprisoned A Dou – a truly legendary feat!

Jiang Gan exclaimed in admiration.

Wang Yun was surprised to learn that this was the whole story.

“Zhao Yun did nothing wrong, so we have no reason to give Zhao Yun to Wang Yun.”

Guan Yu also believed that Zhao Yun should not be given to the Hedong High School.

"Principal! Guan Yu and Zhang Fei request permission to break down the gate."

Guan Yu did not bring Lin Yu along because he was worried that Lin Yu might have an accident while breaking through the formation.

"I'll break that formation," Zhao Yun suddenly appeared.

"Why are you only arriving now? You're already causing trouble as soon as you get here." Zhang Fei couldn't stand Zhao Yun.

"Third brother, let Zhao Yun go over there. It's not a good place to make a move," Lin Yu said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fei nodded inwardly, after all, his elder brother's current identity was quite mysterious.

"Zilong, I'll have to trouble you now!" Lin Yu greeted Zhao Yun first.

"It's alright!" Zhao Yun cupped his hands in greeting and then stepped into the formation.

“The Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation set up by Li Ru was originally used in battles between two armies. It can trap the enemy and slowly erode them. To break through it, either you need enough people or you need to prevent them from constantly changing positions. Obviously, we don’t meet either of these conditions, so we have to think of other ways,” Lin Yu said from the side.

Lin Yu was unwilling to get involved. He believed that this was a test for them, and if he easily stepped in to help, then this experience would lose its value. He planned to observe first, learn how to set up the formation, and prepare for the future war in the Demon Realm.

Hearing this, Zhao Yun was skeptical and decided to try it himself. He entered through the Gate of Life and rushed out through the Gate of Death. He looked around and entered through the Gate of Death again, only to rush out through the Gate of Rest. Finally, Zhao Yun went deep into the Gate of Rest again, but he never saw him again.

“Zhao Yun!” The students of Dong Han Academy shouted anxiously upon seeing him.

"Hmph, it's his own fault for not listening to my elder brother," Zhang Fei said with dissatisfaction.

"Third brother, stop talking. Zhao Yun hasn't broken out of the formation yet. Let's quickly ask our eldest brother what method we can use to break the formation." Guan Yu turned to Lin Yu for help.

"With your strength alone, you have no chance of winning by brute force. The only thing left is for (Zhao's Zhao) to find someone to help you." After saying this, Lin Yu turned his gaze to Cao Cao, implying that he should provide some assistance.

“Speaking of helpers, I do know one named Ma Chao. He comes from a family of martial arts masters, has trained diligently since childhood, has a solid foundation, and is quite capable in combat,” Cao Cao replied.

"Then let's hurry and go find him." Lin Yu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and the others went to look for Ma Chao.

On the beach, a young man wearing yellow swimming trunks and holding a blue surfboard stood on the shore, gazing at the distant waves.

"That guy with the surfboard, looks like Ma Chao, right?" Guan Yu pointed at him and said.

“Looks right, let’s go over there.” The three walked towards Ma Chao.

"Your name is Ma Chao, right?" Zhang Fei asked first.

【323】 Zhang Fei, he loves to betray his brothers!

"Yeah! Do you guys want to have some fun? But the wind's pretty strong and the waves are huge today," Ma Chao replied, his eyes sweeping over Lin Yu and the other two.

"We're not here to play in the water; we hope you can help us break the formation, rescue the people, and resolve the crisis at the academy," Guan Yu said bluntly.

"I don't want to fight, and I'm afraid you'll be disappointed." After hearing this, Ma Chao turned around and prepared to leave them.

"It wasn't a fight, it was rescuing people and helping Handong Academy," Guan Yu quickly added.

Ma Chao didn't stop walking. "That's not the same."

Seeing this, Guan Yu further advised, "When a friend is in trouble, shouldn't you just stand by and watch?"

Ma Chao stopped after hearing this, "But do we know each other?"

"Then why not have a friendly spar? We can't be friends without a fight!" Zhang Fei thought to himself, pleased with his idea.

“To make friends, you must be sincere; force is useless,” Ma Chao retorted.

"If fists are useless, then what's the point of practicing martial arts?" Zhang Fei retorted.

“Since you admire martial arts so much, fine, I’ll stand here and let you spar a few rounds. If you can beat me down, I’ll come and help you.” Ma Chao proposed his terms.

"Okay, no problem!" Zhang Fei was eager to try, not believing that Ma Chao could withstand his punches.

A punch landed heavily on Ma Chao's chest, but Ma Chao only took a few steps back and felt nothing.

"I won't hold back this time." Zhang Fei gathered his strength and unleashed a powerful strike.

Ma Chao, like a meatball, easily absorbed Zhang Fei's punch without taking a single step back.

"You are indeed very strong. Even when I went all out, I couldn't move you," Zhang Fei exclaimed.

"Indeed impressive. This is the first time I've seen someone cultivate martial arts to such a level." Guan Yu couldn't help but admire them.

Ma Chao was a little embarrassed by the praise. "It's nothing. My mother taught me since I was little. I'm not very good at it yet."

"All your skills were passed down from your mother?" Guan Yu asked in surprise.

"Yes, since you can't defeat me, I'm going back." Ma Chao prepared to leave.

Guan Yu turned to Lin Yu for help, saying, "Brother, we have no choice but to ask you for help. Ma Chao is too powerful for us to handle."

"You're willing to help if you're defeated?" Lin Yu asked Ma Chao again.

“That’s right, as long as you can make me fall to the ground, I’ll go with you.” Ma Chao’s tone was firm.

Seeing that Ma Chao had a combat power of 55000, Lin Yu was still very confident.

"Okay, watch closely, I'm coming." Lin Yu said as he slowly walked over.

"Make your move," Ma Chao said indifferently.

Although Lin Yu's combat power was suppressed to 60,000 in the Silver Dimension, he was still very confident. He gently reached out, bent his fingers, and flicked Ma Chao's forehead with a light touch.

"Ouch! That hurts!" Ma Chao sat on the beach, clutching his forehead.

"You're amazing! What kind of move is that? Finger Flicking Divine Skill?" Ma Chao was eager to know.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei exchanged bewildered glances, looking at Lin Yu with suspicion.

"That's what you call a headshot," Lin Yu said casually.

Everyone was speechless for a moment, thinking it was some kind of lost technique, but it turned out to be just a flick on the forehead. However, Lin Yu impressed Ma Chao and earned the respect of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with just this one move.

“Alright, I’ll help you rescue them.” Ma Chao stood up and agreed, calling out to Huang Zhong.

"His name is Huang Zhong. He's an unerring marksman; he never misses a shot within his sight," Ma Chao introduced.

"Really? Can he come with us?" Guan Yu pressed.

"Whatever Ma Chao does, I'll do too," Huang Zhong replied.

"Very well, I, Guan Yu, thank you both in advance." Guan Yu clasped his hands in thanks.

"Not at all!" the two returned the greeting.

"Now we have enough people, let's go back and break the formation." Lin Yu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, and Ma Chao set off towards the Eastern Han Academy.

Standing in front of the school gate, Wang Yun looked at them with worry, "Are you sure you can break the formation?"

"It's a 50/50 chance, but we will definitely do our best," Guan Yu replied to Wang Yun on behalf of the group.

After hearing this, Wang Yun earnestly instructed, "Alright, then you must be very careful. It doesn't matter if you can't break the formation, the important thing is to protect yourselves."

"Ok!"

"Enter the formation!"

Lin Yu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, and Ma Chao all entered the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, and the teachers and students of the entire Handong Academy cheered them on.

The five people each chose a gate and went in, but eventually they met in the formation.

"The first challenge is the reunion of the eight gates. Brother, what should we do next?" Guan Yu and the others looked at Lin Yu, waiting for instructions.

"Next, we'll merge the five gates into one: the Shock Gate to the View Gate, the Rest Gate to the Open Gate, and the Block Gate to the Wound Gate. That way, we can get out of the road ahead and just keep moving forward," Lin Yu instructed.

"Alright! Let's go." Following Lin Yu's instructions, the four of them passed through each door step by step until they reached the back.

Upon reaching the third gate, the gatekeeper transformed into the peerless beauty Diao Chan. Upon seeing this, Guan Yu's face instantly turned as red as a dog's rear end, resembling a boiling kettle about to emit steam.

"Guan Yu, what's wrong with you?" Ma Chao and Huang Zhong were puzzled and worried when they saw Guan Yu's appearance.

"Oh dear, the same old problem! My second brother, he..." Zhang Fei started to say, but Guan Yu stepped on his foot. It was best not to let outsiders know about this embarrassing affair.

[324] The mockery of Dengtian Pavilion

"I'm perfectly fine! I'm just a little suffocated." Guan Yu chuckled dryly, trying to hide the expression on his face.

"Alright, let's continue breaking the formation!"

All eyes turned to "Diao Chan," waiting for her to speak.

"Welcome to our mini-math class! It's basically a mental arithmetic test. If you answer correctly, you pass; if you get it wrong, you'll have to accept a little punishment. But Liu Bei is exempt; it's too easy for him. He'll be punished no matter what he says!"

After all, in this silver dimension, the level of mathematics is shockingly low; they can't even understand single-digit addition and subtraction. Lin Yu is impersonating Liu Bei, so mental arithmetic is far too simple for him. Zuo Ci, who designed the grand formation, is truly unfathomable.
