We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

Chapter 3: Plans Fail, Venting

Li Mo waved his hand: "Junior brother, although I helped you this time, these gangs will not let it go. You still need to be careful. If possible, you might as well move to the vicinity of the martial arts school. No matter how unscrupulous they are, they will not dare to act recklessly in the martial arts school area."

Su Chen nodded; if he had the money, he would want to too.

"Alright, it's getting late, I should head back."

Li Mo said, then took out a silver ingot from his pocket and handed it to the bewildered Su Chen.

“I didn’t know why you were in such a hurry before, so I accepted it first. Now I’m returning it to you. You should keep this money for yourself.”

"Senior brother..."

Su Chen spoke, but Li Mo interrupted him: "Take it, I don't need your money."

After placing the money in Su Chen's hand, Li Mo turned and left.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Watching Li Mo's departing figure, Su Chen murmured a word, a word filled with deep sincerity.

Only after Li Mo disappeared into the night did Su Chen let out a soft breath and return to the house.

Upon entering the room, Su Chen's expression suddenly darkened.

The whole house felt like it had been invaded by robbers.

The cabinet collapsed, pots and pans fell to the ground, and clothes and blankets were scattered everywhere.

There wasn't a single place to stand in the room.

"Damn it!"

Su Chen cursed under his breath, knowing without a doubt that it was Chen Ergou's doing.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and tidied up the room briefly.

After washing up, he returned to his room and entered the control panel.

How do I use it?

Looking at the panel, Su Chen pondered.

Suddenly, Su Chen felt his hand holding the silver go empty; the tael of silver had vanished.

The panel also showed changes:

[Easy Mode: Iron Wire Fist 1 times (5 taels of silver/time)]

"Use it?" Su Chen asked tentatively.

[Easy Mode Activated: Practice punching in mid-air for ten minutes to reach a basic level of proficiency in Iron Wire Fist.]

Ok?
So simple?
Su Chen was stunned for a moment, somewhat doubting the authenticity of the panel's prompt.

He stretched out his hand and threw a punch out of thin air, and then saw that the progress of Iron Wire Fist jumped to 3.

"This... is way too easy!"

Su Chen's expression froze, unable to hide his surprise.

"Come again."

+ 1 %
+ 1 %
Ten minutes later, Su Chen mastered the basics of Iron Wire Fist, and the previously loose muscles on his arms instantly became slightly firmer.

With each casual swing, one can feel a power they've never experienced before.

He had memorized all thirty-six moves, as if they had become second nature, and could use them at will.

He looked at the panel, which had now been completely refreshed:
Name: Su Chen

[Martial Arts: Iron Wire Fist (Minor Success 1%)]

[Easy Mode: Iron Wire Fist 0 times (5 taels of silver/time)]

"The next time we switch to easy mode, it'll cost 5 taels of silver!"

"Make money! As long as I have money, I can quickly max out my Iron Wire Fist skill!"

Su Chen made up his mind, his face showing determination.

rustling.

"There's someone outside!"

Suddenly, Su Chen heard a soft rustling sound coming from outside the door, and he was startled.

Using the faint moonlight, I peeked out and looked around.

"They're from the Blackwater Gang!"

He immediately recognized the furtive figures on the path in front of the door as Chen Ergou and his two companions who had just left.

The three returned, clearly having guessed that Li Mo wouldn't stay at Su Chen's house.

So he took the opportunity to come back, intending to get rid of Su Chen.

It has to be said that the three of them had a very good plan.

Unfortunately, they're going to miscalculate today.

A sharp glint flashed in Su Chen's eyes, a hint of coldness in them. At this moment, old and new grudges erupted completely.

He turned around, picked up his wood-chopping axe, and his figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.

outside.

"Big brother, that kid is still here!"

The three of them saw the faint light coming from Su Chen's house from afar, and their faces lit up with joy.

Chen Ergou sneered: "Hmph, he only has this one place to live, where else could he go?"

“But brother, didn’t they say he’s climbed up to the Hong family’s martial arts school? If we make a move against him, what if the Hong family’s martial arts school comes after us…” another henchman said worriedly.

"What are you afraid of! This kid probably got lucky to get involved with the Hong Family Martial Arts School. As long as we kill him tonight, even if the Hong Family Martial Arts School finds out, what can they do to us? At worst, we can hide outside for a while. I don't believe the Hong Family Martial Arts School will care about him!"

Chen Ergou snorted coldly, and as he got closer, his footsteps became lighter and lighter.

"Be careful, don't let this kid find us. This time, we absolutely can't let him get away again!"

The three men slowly approached, and Chen Ergou waved his hand, signaling his two subordinates to split up.

He guarded the gate, while they guarded the windows to prevent Su Chen from breaking through and escaping.

After preparing everything, he kicked the wooden door open with all his might, but because he used too much force, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

The wooden door was not closed at all.

Chen Ergou's heart tightened, and he quickly looked up, only to find that Su Chen was nowhere to be seen in the room.

What about people?

"what……"

Suddenly, Chen Ergou heard a scream coming from the window, and his eyes turned serious.

"Still trying to run!"

Fortunately, he had the foresight to know that Su Chen would break through the window and escape, so he arranged for people to do so in advance.

It now appears that his men have captured Su Chen.

He hurriedly turned and went out, but as soon as he reached the door, he was met with an axe.

There was a click.

The axe struck Chen Ergou squarely in the chest, piercing right through his body.

"you you……"

Chen Ergou stared blankly at Su Chen, his eyes filled with surprise. He hadn't expected that Su Chen would dare to kill him.

Su Chen's face was now filled with ruthlessness.

After transmigrating, the long-term mental repression was completely released the moment Chen Ergou was struck.

"what……"

A scream pulled Su Chen back from Chen Ergou's death. He turned his head and saw that there was still one person left to deal with.

"No, we absolutely cannot let him get away!"

If the other party escapes, he will definitely be hunted down by the Blackwater Gang. He is not yet capable of fighting against the Blackwater Gang!

So Su Chen pulled out the axe, and with a sizzle, blood spurted out.

A few drops of crimson blood splattered onto Su Chen's face, adding to his chilling aura.

He suddenly rushed out, his speed even surpassing that of the other person.

Just as the man was about to escape, the axe in Su Chen's hand suddenly fell from his grasp and he threw it violently.

With a soft thud, it struck the man squarely in the back, causing him to abruptly halt and fall forward.

call.

After dealing with the three men, Su Chen let out a long sigh of relief. All the tension turned into sweat, soaking his clothes.

"Luckily, all the neighbors have moved away, otherwise this commotion would have attracted their attention long ago."

The aftereffects of the murders began to set in. He looked at the three corpses, his expression shifting, but eventually returning to calm.

A moment later, Su Chen took some money from the three men and then disposed of their bodies.

After doing all that, he returned to his room.

"It's a pity there's less than half an ounce left, not even enough for me to activate the easy mode again!"

He's already fallen in love with the easy mode; this way of training is just too awesome, it's a pity he doesn't have enough money.

"The deaths of these three men can't be kept secret for long. Once the Blackwater Gang realizes what's happening, they'll definitely come after me again!"

Su Chen seemed to be deep in thought, a strange light flashing in his eyes. Looking at the messy room, he vaguely had an idea in mind.

But for now, let's go to sleep.
