Chapter 2 - Chapter 002: Duel Challenge

Two days later, Yu Su stepped out of the house.

The sun outside was bright, the sky was blue, the clouds were white, and the spiritual energy was abundant. Even though this spiritual energy was fierce and not easy to provoke, it was still lively and real, completely different from the end of the law era.

This was truly a stroke of luck, turning misfortune into fortune.

With spiritual energy, why worry about not being able to cultivate?

Moreover, his mind still held an entire comprehensive manual of magical arts!

Yu Su discovered this on the second day after waking up, and no one expected that through this crossing, he could bring the entire manual of magical arts into his mind.

Obviously, even the heavens were giving him a chance to make up for regrets.

Thinking of this, Yu Su couldn't help but burst into laughter, but unfortunately, laughter turned into coughing before he could finish.

"Hahaha, amusing, truly amusing."

Seeing him bend over while coughing, Yu Zhou, the silent little brother, knew to come over and help him. Yu Chuanchuan, the idiotic old man sitting under the eaves, applauded and laughed heartily.

Yu Su couldn't help but sigh; the beginning of everything was difficult. He not only had to take care of himself but also this family with elderly, young, sick, and disabled members.

Speaking of the current situation, it was time to talk about it.

In the wilderness, there were too many unknown dangers, and the most terrifying for ordinary people was the savage beasts.

To avoid the harassment of savage beasts, ordinary villages were usually built far away from mountains and forests, with tall pointed wooden walls erected for defense.

Yu Family Village was no exception. It was surrounded by a desolate plain, and even fetching water required carrying it back from the river, a bit far away. Because there were man-eating strange fish in the river, the village couldn't be too close to it.

To satisfy hunger, the able-bodied villagers would form teams to collect and hunt in the mountains on ordinary days.

The original owner was a member of the collecting team, relying on the fruits, mushrooms, and wild vegetables collected to support his father and younger brother.

As for why he didn't go hunting, it was because the original owner was too weak. Compared to the prey, he looked more like prey himself.

If you asked about cultivation, what was that? Could you eat it?

In the savage era, most people didn't understand cultivation. The spiritual energy in the air, which was not easy to provoke, was not so easy to introduce into the body. One might easily end up dead.

Now that Yu Su had crossed over with the entire manual of magical arts, he could solve all these hidden dangers by standing on the shoulders of giants.

The problem was that he was currently a patient. Ambitions for grand plans had to be put aside, and he had to focus on recovering.

Moreover, trouble had come knocking on the door —

"Yu Su! Come out!"

Outside, four or five teenagers arrived, all shirtless, wearing leather skirts around their lower bodies, with wheat-colored skin. They all looked stronger than Yu Su.

These people were from the same village, with Yu Xiong at the forefront.

Yu Xiong's father was in the hunting team, and his mother was the leader of the collecting team. With two strong laborers in the family, Yu Xiong was raised as robust as a bull, and his personality was domineering.

The conflict between the original owner and Yu Xiong originated from a third party, a girl who admired Yu Su.

Despite Yu Su's frail appearance, his face was quite good-looking. Among the group of robust youths, he stood out with exceptional elegance.

Yu Xiong was interested in a girl named Yu Zhu, but Yu Zhu was interested in the original owner. That's where the conflict began.

Yu Xiong would frequently bring his followers to make trouble for the original owner.

When the original owner fell from the mountain, everyone thought he wouldn't survive, especially Yu Xiong, who was overjoyed, hoping his rival would die soon.

Unexpectedly, two days later, not only did they not hear about Yu Su's death, but they also heard that he could get out of bed and walk. Yu Xiong couldn't sit still and immediately brought people over.

"Yu Su, I want to duel with you!" Yu Xiong pointed at Yu Su with a fierce gaze.

The consequences of a duel between the robust Yu Xiong and the frail Yu Su were obvious.

This rascal had ill intentions.

Yu Su's eyes hid a mocking look. If he dared to play dirty, he would have to see if he had the ability.

At this moment, a small figure rushed out first, forcefully pushed Yu Xiong, and when that didn't work, fiercely bit Yu Xiong's thigh.

"Ah!" Yu Xiong yelled in pain and forcefully shook off Yu Zhou, who was biting him.

The slender Yu Zhou, like a kite with a broken string, was flung away. If he fell hard, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Yu Su's pupils contracted, and without any hesitation, he ran out to catch Yu Zhou. After catching Yu Zhou, the two brothers fell to the ground together, with Yu Su bearing the weight.

Yu Su bit down the pain, suppressed the urge to cough, and looked at Yu Xiong. The frail youth straightened his back, agreeing to Yu Xiong's challenge: "If you want a duel, fine. I hope you won't cry for your parents when you lose."
