"Su Yu, do you know what you are doing? You are certain that you are really prepared to leave?" The one speaking was a strong and muscular youth. He was wearing a blue servant attire, and his face was filled with disbelief, while his tone sounded anxious.
"Don't worry. I am very certain. If you are a brother, don't obstruct me." Su Yu was a 16-year-old youth, and his face still had a trace of childishness. However, the anxiety on his face was even more intense than the muscular youth. As Su Yu spoke, he was increasing his walking pace.
I am running out of time! This is too goddamn unexpected!
Presently, Su Yu's heart was extremely unstable. If someone looked into his eyes, they would realize that they were lifeless. It felt as though he was roaming in his mind.
In addition, all of his attention was gathered within his mind, more precisely, a digital clock that was counting down second by second.
There are still five hours left! I should be able to make it in time! Su Yu calculated the time while running.
It was a pity that the heavens wouldn't allow him to fulfill his wish. A pair of large hands grabbed his shoulders and stopped him. "If you don't explain clearly, I will not let you leave!"
"Tang Xiao! Hurry up and get lost! Otherwise, I shall cut off all ties with you!"
Tang Xiao was startled as Su Yu was famous for his great temperament. He always treated others in a friendly manner and would be able to endure all sorts of hard work and grievances. Tang Xiao didn't expect Su Yu to be so impatient, and this was actually Tang Xiao's first time seeing Su Yu in such a rage.
However, Tang Xiao quickly came back to his senses and shook his head with determination. "I will not give way. This job isn't easy to come by. Do you know how many people are yearning for this job? How can you give it up so easily?"
Su Yu's eyes were turning red. This fellow is great in everything, apart from being stubborn. He might have good intentions for not letting me leave, but he is doing more harm than good. It is a pity that I cannot speak of my difficulties, and I cannot shake him off either.
Su Yu took a deep breath and forcefully stabilized himself to speak. "Don't worry, Tang Xiao. I found a better job. Stop obstructing me."
Su Yu was breaking out with cold sweat as he looked at the digital clock that was rapidly counting down.
"A better job? We are ordinary people. Where else can you find work better than a job in the county king residence?"
Su Yu insisted and said, "As long as you allow me to leave, you will understand in the future."
Tang Xiao frowned and asked, "Where are you preparing to go?"
"Up the mountain."
"What?! Are you insane?! Return with me, don't act on impulse and regret for life!" Tang Xiao stated firmly and pulled Su Yu backward.
Su Yu was about to cry. He wasn't as powerful as Tang Xiao and couldn't break free. He watched as he moved further away from his destination and was feeling sad. He wished he could beat up Tang Xiao into a swollen pig head.
"Reminder to the host. There are still 4 hours and 30 minutes before the end of the Novice Mission. If the host cannot complete the mission within the stipulated timing, the system shall shut down. Will the host please hurry up."
An emotionless voice echoed in Su Yu's mind, making him even more sorrowful. He was desperately trying to break free from Tang Xiao's demonic claws.
Why is this happening to me… The pitiful me painstakingly awakened the cheat, and I actually encountered such a matter. If I fail this mission, I will be the most useless transmigrator.
Su Yu wasn't actually a person from this world. He had transmigrated to this place and possessed a body that was named Su Yu, just like him, one month ago. After inheriting the original owner's memories, he slowly adapted to life in this different world. The cheat within his body was now finally awakened.
As such, he had decisively resigned from his job and pursued the system.
Novice Mission: Follow the guidance of the system and reach the Great King Mountain.
Mission Reward: Mountain Great King System will be fully activated and a Novice Gift Reward.
Su Yu didn't know what the cheat was about, but it was better than not having one. This body that he possessed was just a servant in the county king residence. This job was definitely considered respectable and had great benefits in this world, but as a transmigrator, he couldn't possibly accept the life of a servant.
Novice gift reward, my novice gift reward! Su Yu's heart was dripping with blood as he looked at the Great King Mountain that was gradually getting further away.
"Oh? Isn't it Genius Su? Why are you back again?" An eccentric voice pulled Su Yu back to reality.
Tang Xiao's eyes turned cold as he yelled, "Chen Lang, this is none of your business. Get lost!"
"As a member of the county king residence, I cannot allow unrelated people to enter the county king residence without a proper reason. Su Yu has already submitted his resignation form to Supervisor Wang. He cannot enter the county king residence!" Chen Lang sneered.
"Su Yu is only acting on impulse. I will bring him to offer an explanation to Supervisor Wang, move aside!" Tang Xiao squinted his eyes as they radiated with a dangerous light.
"Heh, explain? What do you think the county king residence is? Do you think anyone can come and leave as they please?" Chen Lang wasn't bulging and said, "Supervisor Wang accepted Su Yu's resignation. Do you wish to be evicted from the county king residence like him too?"
"I am just bringing him into the county king residence. I will bear the responsibility!" Tang Xiao executed a palm strike at Chen Lang as a gesture to push Chen Lang away.
There was a swishing sound from the palm wind. Su Yu was very close and could actually hear the sound of the palm cutting across the air.
After inheriting the memories, Su Yu had a better understanding of this world. This world wasn't like the technologically advanced world in his previous life. On the contrary, the buildings and clothing styles resembled the ancient times. The thing that he was most excited about was the existence of powerful martial strength in this world. Martial artists possessed extreme power, and those formidable martial artists could even split the skies and the ground or instantly travel across a thousand miles.
Su Yu didn't know if the martial artists were really that strong, but this world's flourishing martial dao wasn't an undeniable fact. As a servant in the county king residence, he was able to learn some art of self-defense. Some talented individuals had already become superhumans in Su Yu's opinion, as using their bare hands to sever a tree was simply a small matter.
It was a pity that learning martial arts required talent, and it was obvious that Su Yu didn't have the talent. Among all the servants, he possessed the weakest martial strength.
"Hmph!" Chen Lang snorted and didn't dodge. He countered with a palm strike of his own.
Bang!
Each of them took half a step back. Tang Xiao's eyes were filled with shock as he looked at Chen Lang gravely. "4th Stage of Outer Art!"
"Hahaha, Tang Xiao, do you think that you are the only one that can cultivate to the 4th Stage of Outer Art?" Chen Lang was very proud.
"Even if you reached the 4th Stage of Outer Art, you are still not a match for me!"
"We will know after a fight!"
The Outer Art was a martial artist's foundation. There wasn't any mantra, and it was only a slightly stronger body-strengthening art. Practitioners would constantly be able to break through their physical limits. There were a total of 10 stages, and after reaching the 7th Stage of Outer Art, a servant would be promoted to a supervisor. After breaking through to the 10th Stage of Outer Art, one could become a disciple of the county king residence. They would be imparted with a cultivation technique, allowing them to step on the true path of a martial artist.
Su Yu loved Chen Lang to death at this moment, as he truly arrived at the most GOD-DAMN-TIMELY moment. Chen Lang and Tang Xiao were both in the 4th Stage of Outer Art, so they were evenly matched. Now that Tang Xiao's attention wasn't concentrated on Su Yu, this was the best chance for Su Yu to escape!
Su Yu had been in the residence for two years and had always been stuck at the 1st Stage of Outer Art without the ability to progress. However, this situation was enough for him to escape.
Once Tang Xiao and Chen Lang clashed with another move, Su Yu broke free from Tang Xiao and increased his speed to the limits as he rushed for the Great King Mountain without turning back…
Tang Xiao's expression changed. He wanted to chase after Su Yu but was obstructed by Chen Lang, who was sneering. "He chose to leave himself and must not blame anyone else. A measly servant actually dares to write a confession letter to the County Princess. He is overestimating himself!"
After today, even if Su Yu wanted to return, it wasn't going to be possible!
