Yang Yu put away his sword, raised his index finger towards Qi who was the referee, pointed at him and smiled, "It's your turn next, Qi."
"Asshole!" Qi clenched his hands tightly, "Yang Yu!"
Glaring at Yang Yu with determination in his eyes, Qi strode towards Yang Yu.
Seeing this scene, Yang Yu smiled, opened his arms, and said the lines he had always wanted to say.
"Hoho, you didn't run away, but walked towards me. Finally, your captain, Sekamens, told you my strength like a student who was still desperately answering questions before the exam bell rang. You didn't run away, but approached me."
With firm steps, Qi continued to approach Yang Yu, "If I don't get closer, there's no way I can knock you to the ground."
"Haha, then come a little closer."
Yang Yu also walked towards Qi.
Suddenly, Qi's figure disappeared.
This is the assassin's most commonly used [Stealth] skill, which can temporarily conceal one's body shape and breath. Qi pulled out the dagger from his waist and launched a surprise attack on Yang Yu in one breath.
The easy victory over Secamens proved that Yang Yu was very capable, but Qi would not give up easily the chance to date a beautiful woman.
He has the natural speed advantage of an assassin. As long as he uses this advantage properly, he is not without a chance of winning in a one-on-one fight.
Yang Yu stopped and put his right hand on the hilt of the sword, but he had no intention of drawing the sword. Instead, he took out the moves he had specially prepared to deal with Qi.
"[Shield Counter]"
The shield was instantly covered with red spikes, and then Yang Yu turned around and smashed the shield into the face of Qi who was behind him.
Qi's figure appeared in the void and rolled towards the edge of the arena.
He originally thought that he could cause some damage to Yang Yu by using this trick, but he never expected that Yang Yu seemed to have seen through his movements completely and swung his shield at him before he could make a move.
The dagger pierced the ground, and Qi barely stopped rolling. He was about to breathe a sigh of relief and get up from the ground, but he saw Yang Yu charging towards him.
Startled, Qi sat down on the ground, kicked the ground with his feet, and retreated towards the edge of the arena.
"I don't want to play anymore, I don't want to play anymore, I give up! Stop it now!"
Raising his arms, Qi huddled in the corner, fearing that Yang Yu would slash him in the face with a sword.
Yang Yu's attack came to an abrupt stop, and he put the sword back into the scabbard.
With the experience gained, Yang Yu naturally had no reason to continue attacking.
Yang Yu's attack took a long time to land on him, Qi raised his arm carefully and found that Yang Yu was smiling kindly and extending his hand to him.
This smile did not seem like the joyful smile that would appear after defeating both of them in a row.
There must be a deeper meaning behind it.
I got goosebumps all over the floor instantly.
By the way, could it be that he has a special relationship with Iyas, and seeing that I was smiling and trying to talk to Iyas, he did this to teach me a lesson.
Another interpretation of "If he wins, Yang Yu will introduce him to Iyas" is that after he loses, he should never have any ideas about Iyas.
Really.
If you were not satisfied, you should have said it earlier. I got beaten for nothing.
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and after hesitating for a while, he reached out and held Yang Yu's hand, using the force to stand up.
He used a smile to hide the embarrassment on his face as much as possible.
"Sir Yang Yu, you have become stronger than I thought. You can easily see through and enter my stealth mode."
"I didn't see through your moves."
Yang Yu smiled.
"Ambush from behind is a common practice for assassins. Many people will focus on protecting their backs, and I am no exception. I just did a quick calculation to see how long it would take you to get behind me at your speed, and then took a gamble, that's all. And I actually got it right."
Looking at Yang Yu's smile, Qi Ke couldn't smile at all.
Who are you kidding! You look so confident and you must have seen through my moves. I won't believe your polite words.
Letting go of Yang Yu's hand, Qi returned to Sekamens with an apologetic smile and whispered a few words in Sekamens' ear.
Secamens nodded in agreement and then walked towards Yang Yu.
"It was a complete defeat. I accept the defeat sincerely."
Yang Yu shrugged his shoulders, stored the shield and sword into the system, and said with a smile:
"Don't look so regretful. I can see that you have grown a lot in the past few months. As long as you keep working hard, one day you will be able to keep up with me and fight me on equal terms. Let's compete again next time we meet."
With a helpless smile on his face, Secamens nodded.
Qi quickly waved his hand and refused, "I don't want to compete with you anymore. I feel that no matter how hard I try, I will only be beaten by you unilaterally. I will not have any ideas about Iyas anymore. Please spare me!"
Hearing Qi say this, Yang Yu frowned slightly.
Just now I was just thinking about how to end the fight quickly, but I didn't expect that if a man is too fast, it will also leave the other party unhappy.
As a man, you need to be persistent, give and take, and maintain a steady rhythm. Only then can you capture the hearts of others and make them constantly have the illusion of "Ah, I can fight back" or "I can definitely do it next time", and they will constantly come to challenge you.
Yang Yu learned from his mistakes and decided to be more careful in future competitions. He should try to appear evenly matched with others so that experience packages would be delivered to him willingly.
Just when Yang Yu wanted to end the competition and go check on Iyas and investigate the recent situation of Chaoyang Chamber of Commerce, Secamens spoke before Yang Yu.
"Yang Yu, I have something I want to discuss with you. I wonder what your plans are after you complete your training?"
"Well..." Yang Yu did not tell the next schedule, but asked, "You are the one, what's the matter? You're welcome, just say it."
After collecting his thoughts for a while, Secamens did not beat around the bush.
"To be honest, we brought Rococo here just for fun. We actually have another purpose for coming here."
Secamens took out a worn parchment map from his arms and handed it to Yang Yu.
After opening it, Yang Yu discovered that the direction drawn on the map was exactly the area where they were.
But Yang Yu couldn't understand the words on it.
What surprised Yang Yu was that even though he couldn't understand it, he felt that the text was somewhat familiar.
After thinking about it carefully, Yang Yu suddenly remembered that this text was somewhat similar to the annotations that occasionally appeared on the murals in the underground ruins of the Fairy Kingdom.
"What is this map?"
