Apocalypse: My Apartment Has Traits - Chapter 88 - 80: Clown
Chapter 88: Chapter 80: Clown
Song Yiyi flipped back using the momentum, landed lightly, and then stood firm, abruptly raising her head. Her beautiful eyes were fixed intently on Su Lin, filled with disbelief.
“You…?!”
The words reached her lips, but she forcibly swallowed them back.
With so many eyes watching, some words should not be spoken.
But Su Lin was already aware of what she was thinking, as a trace of surprise flickered in his eyes as well.
Song Yiyi actually knew the technique of “Operation”!
This so-called “Operation” is the method of stimulating one’s internal Qi and Blood, then moving it to the hands, feet, and other limbs for enhancement.
Second Uncle Su Qi once said that in a village-level camp, few people understand this method, let alone master its essence.
Even someone as inherently gifted in martial arts as Su Tongxi has yet to breach the threshold of “Release”, let alone the higher tier of “Operation”.
But this wandering young girl before his eyes, no more than sixteen or seventeen, could already use “Operation”!
The surprise in Su Lin’s heart deepened.
The background of this slender-waisted girl was probably far from simple.
At least… not simple in the past.
His thoughts turned rapidly, and Su Lin’s lips curved into a playful smile. He provocatively beckoned Song Yiyi, who was caught between surprise and suspicion:
“Do you want to continue?”
The accumulation of Song Yiyi’s Qi and Blood was similar to his, roughly three to four parts.
The reason she dared to be so arrogant before was likely relying heavily on this skill of “Operation”.
However, at this moment, Su Lin also knew “Operation”.
The scales of victory had already tilted towards the one with greater mastery of “Operation”.
And, as luck would have it, Su Lin had utmost confidence in his control over his Qi and Blood!
He appeared calm, even adding a hint of teasing:
“I’m skilled with weapons, but I know a bit about fighting techniques too.”
Song Yiyi’s complexion instantly turned from white to red, filled with a mix of shame and anger.
She never expected that in this poor, remote village, someone would know the art of Qi and Blood manipulation!
But the girl’s pride was high, how could she admit defeat so easily?
He was just a pretty boy!
“I won’t back down! Whoever cowers is a coward!”
Song Yiyi retorted sharply, her Qi and Blood surged mightily as she shouted, her entire being shot forward like an arrow, her delicate fist carrying immense force aimed fiercely at Su Lin’s face!
When Su Lin saw this, he snorted softly:
“Crude.”
His eyes caught a subtle glow undetectable by others, clearly seeing the Qi and Blood spread throughout Song Yiyi’s body, applied simply and crudely, completely lacking in control.
In contrast, his Qi and Blood gathered only in his fists, like smoke, solid yet dispersing.
Facing Song Yiyi’s violent charge, Su Lin calmly sidestepped, his fists forming a virtual grip, one in front, one behind, taking a stance.
As Song Yiyi’s fist approached, Su Lin’s voice drifted lightly, like a decree:
“Strike your wrist.”
Song Yiyi’s movement didn’t stop, yet a flicker of astonishment passed through her eyes.
As his voice faded, Su Lin’s virtual right hand suddenly turned into a sharp blade, slicing precisely at Song Yiyi’s wrist joint with a sound of air being cut!
“Ah!” The intense pain forced Song Yiyi to cry out.
Immediately, the ominous voice sounded again:
“Strike your neck.”
Song Yiyi was terrified, ignoring the stabbing pain in her wrist, frantically retracted her hand to protect her neck.
Smack!
Ultimately, she was a tad too slow.
Su Lin’s left hand, fingers like an iron spike, struck heavily on her collarbone.
Luckily, Song Yiyi’s use of “Operation” was crude, with Qi and Blood constantly enveloping her body for defense. The two forces collided, preventing serious injury.
However, the attack did not cease!
“Attack your abdomen.”
As soon as the warning sounded, Su Lin’s form slightly sank, his right leg sprung forward like a snake flicking its tongue!
The Qi and Blood in both hands flowed like water, instantly transferring to his toes, then burst out as a ray of cold light, stabbing fiercely at Song Yiyi’s soft abdomen!
Song Yiyi was made dizzy by his rapid-fire predictions and attacks, hurriedly attempting to block but was still struck by the foot containing tremendous force!
“Ugh!” Her stomach churned, forcing her to bend over in pain.
“Raise palm, strike the cheek.”
Smack!
A loud slap.
“Side kick, attack the leg.”
Smack!
Her calf was swept, staggering a step.
“Double fingers, stab the heart.”
Smack!
Her chest’s Tanzhong acupoint was jabbed heavily, her breath suddenly stifled.
“…”
Smack! Smack! Smack!…
Su Lin’s movements were ghostly fast, each attack was pre-announced with precision like rehearsed, followed by a swift strike in the blink of an eye!
Each announcement was accompanied by a crisp hit, fists, and feet falling on Song Yiyi like raindrops.
The crowd around grew larger, all watching in stunned silence.
Yet Su Lin fought more smoothly, his Qi and Blood, under the push of “Operation”, circulated more harmoniously and effortlessly. Combined with his accumulated fighting techniques from his previous life, each move was executed to perfection, thoroughly suppressing Song Yiyi, leaving her without any power to retaliate!
Indeed, real combat is the furnace of honing skills!
Especially this sandbag in front of me is not only sturdy, but the feel of its slender waist dodging twists is even more…
Ahem, in short, it allowed him to fight with relish!
Song Yiyi’s “techniques” in his eyes were full of flaws, coarse and unbearable.
The punches and kicks were even more disorganized, barely supported by a smattering of techniques and brute force.
Such an opponent, in front of Su Lin, was as easy to manipulate as a child.
To deal with this arrogant little pepper, one must use the most ruthless means to beat her into submission!
“Grappling throw.”
The final announcement was coldly spat out.
The dizzy and pain-ridden Song Yiyi couldn’t react at all, only feeling the world spin as she was suddenly swung up by a huge force, her back slamming heavily onto the hard ground!
“Poof—” Dust flew up.
Su Lin regained his posture and stood firmly, looking down at the disheveled girl on the ground with a calm voice:
“How about it?
“Want to continue?
“If not, concede.”
He was very interested in the intelligence of the higher-level camp.
If Song Yiyi was indeed from a high-status “second generation” of a fallen camp as he suspected, the information in her mind was worth a fortune.
The dirt-covered Song Yiyi struggled to get up from the ground, looking at Su Lin with eyes full of fear.
Upon hearing his question, she instinctively hugged her arms, trembling slightly.
Su Lin raised an eyebrow, his tone turning cold:
“What? Unconvinced? Want to learn a lesson again?”
“You…?!” Song Yiyi shuddered violently, the pain throughout her body causing her to gasp.
“Or do you plan to go back on your word?”
Song Yiyi bit her pink lip, silent.
Seeing this, Su Lin’s gaze suddenly turned sharp and icy, like an ice spike.
“You wouldn’t really back out, would you?”
He really didn’t expect this girl would go back on her word!
Could it be she’s really brainless, rather than acting confidently?
Su Lin doubted his previous judgment.
Meanwhile, the crowd was instantly in an uproar!
The villagers who were constantly mocked and ridiculed by Song Yiyi finally found an outlet, their anger erupting like a volcano:
“You bitch! How dare you cheat?!”
“Damn! How dare a wandering ragtag make trouble in our Wuyin Village?!”
“Win and take the money, lose and play dead? You think we are fools?!”
“Strip her and throw her out! Let her know who’s boss here!”
Vicious curses lashed at Song Yiyi’s face like whips, her once pretty face turning flushed like pig liver, humiliated to the extreme!
Finally, the string of reason snapped, she lost control and screamed, her voice sharp and harsh:
“Shut up! All of you shut up! How could I, Song Yiyi, ever consider being a tenant for you bunch of poor village bumpkins?! Dream on!!”
The whole place fell into a dead silence.
Su Lin was furious but laughed instead:
“We’re bumpkins?
“Alright, alright!
“Then let me ask you, miss thousand gold…”
His gaze, like a blade, scraped from top to bottom over Song Yiyi’s disheveled appearance, finally fixing on her shameful face, clearly spitting out that extremely insulting metaphor:
“What do you count as then?”
“A plucked chicken?”
Lies don’t hurt people, the truth is a sharp knife!
This sentence was like a poisoned dagger, ruthlessly stabbing into Song Yiyi’s most sensitive nerve!
The words “plucked chicken” rang in her ears, Song Yiyi’s eyes instantly turned bloodshot, like an enraged mother beast, glaring at Su Lin, wishing she could tear him apart alive.
Su Lin remained expressionless, his gaze cold as frost:
“Got an opinion, then get up! Continue!”
He stopped wasting words, determined to properly discipline this reneging, arrogant and domineering young lady!
Though he didn’t necessarily need her as a tenant, her going back on her word and calling him a bumpkin was another matter altogether.
Song Yiyi gritted her teeth, enduring the severe pain, wobbly standing up straight again, her eyes red, almost dripping blood.
This time.
Su Lin held nothing back!
Moved like thunder!
The wind of his fists howled, his legs like whips!
“Your punches are weak! Your movements clumsy! Your waist and hips loose! Your base unstable! Your reactions slow!—”
Su Lin’s scolding accompanied the storm-like assault, each comment precisely piercing Song Yiyi’s sore spots!
“Not a single decent move!
“With your half-baked skills, you dream of standing above others?!”
“Bumpkin what are you so proud of—!!!”
Song Yiyi completely lost control, screaming as she unleashed her last bit of strength, a disorganized punch, gathering all her qi and blood and anger, crazily aimed at Su Lin’s face!
Su Lin’s expression remained indifferent, he merely slid his foot lightly.
The girl’s punch, filled with all her hatred, whistled past the tip of his nose, the wind it carried tousling his hair.
Song Yiyi’s full-strength punch hitting air, the massive momentum causing her to completely lose balance, like a puppet with cut strings, comically stumbling forward, nearly falling, like a—
“Clown.”
