Chapter 137 Indeed!

Ling Qiu narrowed his eyes.

This is... a soul imprint?

Is someone... trying to deal with Qin Siyao?

It seems the Qin family has made quite a few enemies. Previously, Old Master Qin was plagued by an evil ghost. Now it seems highly likely that this was orchestrated by someone pulling the strings from the shadows.

Having failed once, they are coming for a second time.

"Qin Siyao."

Ling Qiu suddenly called out.

Hearing this, Qin Siyao stopped in her tracks, a trace of a smile instinctively appearing on her face.

Heh, aren't you quite the arrogant one?

Finally realizing how precious the power-enhancing pill I gave you is, and wanting to express your gratitude?

Qin Siyao suppressed her smile, turned around, and looked at him with an expression of barely concealed smugness: "What is it?"

Ling Qiu walked up to her without any nonsense and placed one hand on Qin Siyao's neck.

"Huh? What are you doing??"

Qin Siyao was startled, instinctively wanting to dodge!

Ling Qiu said, "Don't move."

This tone was different from his usual lazy demeanor, carrying a trace of seriousness.

For some reason...

When Ling Qiu spoke seriously, it made Qin Siyao feel an aura that allowed no room for refusal.

Before she could think further, a trace of coolness seeped from Ling Qiu's hand into her neck.

"Huh? You... what did you do?"

Ling Qiu let go. Qin Siyao quickly stroked her neck, but finding nothing unusual, she asked in astonishment.

Ling Qiu frowned slightly and muttered, "This mark... is not simple."

"What mark?? What's not simple??"

Qin Siyao wore a bewildered expression.

Ling Qiu said, "Give me your hand."

"Just because you ask, I should give it?"

Qin Siyao put her hand behind her back. Really, Ling Qiu's attitude was simply too annoying: "No one can command me—ah, you..."

Without wasting words, Ling Qiu grabbed Qin Siyao's hand, then condensed soul power into his pupils. In an instant...

He saw...

On Qin Siyao's arm, creeping all over it, were dark blue-black imprints resembling spider shadows!!

"This is... a soul gu??"

Ling Qiu couldn't help but be stunned.

In this mortal realm, there is actually someone... who knows how to use a soul gu??

A soul gu is a type of gu sorcery, but instead of placing the gu on a human's body, it... places it on a human's soul!

This kind of soul gu is vicious in the extreme.

Ordinary gu sorcery merely torments the human body and inflicts physical pain.

But a soul gu... is meant to torture the human soul!

Just... what kind of people had the Qin family offended? What had they done? To actually... draw such a vicious vengeance??

"Did you drive here?"

Ling Qiu asked abruptly.

Qin Siyao was startled and subconsciously nodded.

"Good, drive to your home. Right now."

Ling Qiu walked forward first. After taking two steps, he found that Qin Siyao was still standing dazedly in place, and said impatiently, "What are you standing there for?"

Qin Siyao frowned slightly: "Ling Qiu... I find you very inexplicable... Are you always so fickle, and do you particularly love bossing people around..."

Before Qin Siyao could finish, Ling Qiu said in a deep voice, "If I guessed correctly, tonight, your Qin family's enemies will make a move. This time, not only your grandfather, but even you will lose your life!"

Huh?!!

Qin Siyao was dumbfounded: "You... what do you mean? Also, how do you know... that our family has enemies..."

Ling Qiu couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense: "Time is tight. Whether you believe me or not, I'll give you three seconds to think."

"..."

This was truly the first time Qin Siyao had seen Ling Qiu looking so serious.

No...

This was the second time.

The first time...

Was when Ling Qiu suddenly appeared and saved her grandfather's life.

And now...

"Alright!"

Qin Siyao no longer hesitated and immediately stepped forward: "The car is parked up ahead."

Without further ado, the two got into the car and drove rapidly toward the Qin family's sprawling estate in the provincial capital.

Once in the car, Ling Qiu closed his eyes to rest and gather his energy.

The reason he chose to meddle in this matter...

Was because he was deeply curious...

What kind of sacred entity was someone who actually knew how to use a soul gu.

If nothing unexpected happened, it should be an interesting opponent.

Ling Qiu was looking forward to it.

As for that Taekwondo black belt master, Park Chang, who had loudly proclaimed his challenge to him...

Pardon me, what kind of clown was that?

It didn't even catch Ling Qiu's eye, completely failing to arouse any interest in him to accept the challenge!

...

Noon.

Jiangnan University.

Three consecutive BMW 7 Series drove in and parked at the entrance of the gymnasium.

A middle-aged man wearing a white taekwondo uniform with a black belt tied around his waist stepped out of the car.

The moment he appeared, the surrounding crowd, which had already gathered in droves, erupted into an uproar!!

"Whoa! Is this... could it be... Master Park Chang?!!"

"Such an imposing aura!!"

"Heh heh... This time, that guy named Ling Qiu can just wait to get his face slapped!!"

"Needless to think, the grass on Ling Qiu's grave has already been planted; he's just waiting for his funeral and burial!"

"And that bullshit Huaxia Kung Fu Club too! This time, Master Park will let these idiots know... what true taekwondo is all about!!"

amidst enthusiastic cheers, Park Chang held his head high and walked proudly into the gymnasium.

He casually said to the school's reception staff: "Where is that... Huaxia kung fu brat named Ling Qiu?"

Before the school staff could speak, several members of the Taekwondo Club shouted loudly: "That Ling Qiu? He was scared away long ago!!"

Scared away?

Everyone was stunned.

These few members smiled mockingly and said: "He left the school this morning! We saw it with our own eyes! Hahaha, he probably knew Master Park was coming and got scared!!"

"Are you... certain?"

Park Chang's expression sank, a flicker of contempt flashing in his eyes.

The members repeatedly assured: "Master Park, we wouldn't dare lie to you! This is 100% true!"

"Heh!"

Park Chang sneered: "Cowards! As expected, guys who practice Huaxia kung fu are all trash!!"

A disciple beside him said, "Teacher, since that's the case, let's leave."

"Leave?"

Park Chang sneered: "There are still two hours left until the agreed challenge time. No rush, I will wait!"

With that, Park Chang walked straight into the inner arena.

Striding in with imposing momentum and coming to a halt right in the center of the venue, Park Chang glanced over the packed crowd of onlookers. These people came from various martial arts clubs, which naturally... included the now immensely popular [Huaxia Kung Fu Club]!

Although Park Chang was not of Huaxia descent, having opened a training hall in Huaxia to make money, he had long since learned fluent Huaxia language. He had his disciple fetch a microphone, tapped it a few times, and said in a majestic and deep voice: "Today is a showdown between myself, Park Chang, representing the Taekwondo of the Republic of Korea, and Huaxia kung fu, represented by Ling Qiu! — It officially begins at two o'clock. If Ling Qiu does not dare to show up and accept the challenge, then..."

Saying this, Park Chang cast a cold glance toward the direction of the Huaxia Kung Fu Club: "I give you two choices. — First, send a representative to duel with me! Second... admit with your own mouths that Huaxia kung fu is inferior to taekwondo! Then obediently bring the plaque of your Huaxia Kung Fu Club and present it to me, so I can use it as a kicking board for practice!"
