Chapter 118: The Tiger Evil

There are not many students in the martial arts school who have nicknames.

The eldest senior brother Lu Qiang is named Tiehu because he has a character as strong as iron, and also because he has practiced the martial arts school's secret "Jade Tiger Kung Fu" to the level of Iron Tiger, hence the name.

Zhong Shaoying's nickname is the Split-Skull Tiger, which comes from his usual attack style.

Every nickname is hard-earned and is the combined product of strength, achievements and reputation.

Those street thugs flatter themselves and give themselves fancy nicknames, all just for their own amusement.

A warrior's nickname must be recognized by everyone to be meaningful.

Because the so-called nickname symbolizes recognition from the circle.

Commonly known as...to become famous.

"Winged Tiger?"

Zhou You pondered for a while, it sounded like he was a minor character who wouldn't survive more than half an episode.

Zhong Shaoying snorted angrily, "Xu Ying, what are you doing here?"

"Brother Zhong, the owner, Brother Qi, and Brother Shen are all waiting inside."

Wang Yan couldn't wait, "What about me?"

"Miss, please take a rest. The hot water in the inner house is ready."

Inner Courtyard…

As soon as a few people stepped into the door, more than a dozen pairs of eyes gathered over them.

Although Zhong Shaoying was walking in front, all eyes passed over him and fell on Zhou You.

"The Winged Tiger Travels Around!"

The one who spoke was Wang Jianxiong, the owner of the main martial arts hall. He waved cheerfully, "This time you have brought honor to the martial arts hall."

Zhong Shaoying was filled with rage and wanted to ask his master to punish Zhou You.

In his opinion, Zhou You's poor protection almost caused Wang Yan to suffer, and he could never redeem himself.

Upon hearing the owner's tone, Zhong Shaoying stopped talking.

Zhou You noticed that the inner court disciples he met this time were far more complete than before.

Qi Fengzhang, Shen Sijing, Zhong Shaoying, Shi Gaofei and others were all standing on both sides of Wang Jianxiong.

But Qi Fengzhang and Shi Gaofei are part of the hunting team. Aren’t they hunting down the flower thief?

“Unfortunately, the flower thief was cornered by us, but he took out his secret treasure and summoned a bat to fly away.

"The bat is a strange beast, with a wingspan of 2 meters. It grabbed the flower and stole it to fly out of the city."

"The city guards are out in force searching for him."

Exotic beast bat, is there such a thing?
A bat with a wingspan of two meters and a body size similar to that of a normal human being is definitely not an ordinary species.

Could it be related to the charm?

Zhou You subconsciously looked at everyone's expressions and immediately saw the clue.

The flower thief must have hidden the treasure left by the enchanted creature, so he could control the bat with a two-meter-long wingspan.

This is not easy to catch!

The lightness skill is already a huge headache, and now there is a flying monster to help, how can we catch him?

The dragnet is just a metaphor. No matter how powerful you are, it is impossible to spread the net all over the sky.

"Feng Zhang! I sent Jiang Hua to General Chen's military camp to borrow equipment. He will be back soon."

Wang Jianxiong nodded to Qi Fengzhang.

Qi Fengzhang bowed and said, "Thank you, Master."

"Once the equipment arrives, we will shoot the strange beasts and bats, and the flower thieves will be unable to escape even if they have wings."

Only military equipment can shoot down flying monsters, but the local garrisons are meant to guard against the aristocratic families, and their positions are diametrically opposed, so it is impossible for them to lend out equipment.

Mr. Wang and Mr. Chen Qian are friends for life, so he can only borrow things through his connections.

Zhou You listened silently, and vaguely understood Qi Fengzhang's purpose of joining the martial arts school.

Mr. Wang is the middleman between the noble family and Chen Qian.

"Master, we have a winged tiger, and we have taken the initiative in dealing with the flower thief." Shen Sijing spoke while the atmosphere was harmonious.

Everyone's attention returned to Zhou You, the outer courtyard apprentice who shined.

The flower thief was in a more miserable state than ever before, because he had been entangled by Zhou You all the way and had revealed too many traces.

Qi Fengzhang and his men arrived and killed the flower thief. The flower thief's arm was injured and blood was spilled all the way, indicating the direction for the tracking hounds.

During the fight, everyone discovered that the wounds were caused by the Wind Chasing Triple Technique of Jianxiong Martial Arts School.

"Zhou You, it's worth it that I taught you the Wind Chasing Triple Technique."

Wang Jianxiong laughed and asked nonchalantly, "The flower-stealing qinggong is the best in qi and blood, how come you were able to catch up with him?"

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and everyone was waiting for Zhou You's answer.

"Master Rong Bing, firstly, the flower thief is carrying someone on his back, so his speed is greatly affected."

"Secondly, I would like to thank Captain Qu..."

"He gave me a piece of Charm Bone, which I consumed, and my Qinggong skills improved significantly."

Zhou You was sincere and explained the problem honestly.

He has nothing to hide when it comes to the Qinggong matter and can withstand scrutiny.

"Yes, yes, you deserve the nickname of Winged Tiger."

Wang Jianxiong sighed, "Subduing Tiger Fist is not known for its agility, but you have been able to develop an excellent light skill. It is obviously a natural talent, and others cannot force it."

Zhou You observed his attitude and knew that he had passed the test.

But how could he allow it to end like this?

"Master, I discovered something. Although it is just a guess, I can't help but speak it out."

Wang Jianxiong wanted to ask him to leave, but he waved his hand and said, "Go on!"

"This time, the flower thief caught two people in a row. It was different from the previous time when he only caught one person each time. He looked quite angry and frustrated."

Zhou You glanced at Shen Sijing again, "Considering that Senior Brother Shen caused the flower thief to return home in defeat last time..."

He paused, and then continued, "My guess is that the flower thief does not commit crimes on a whim or out of indulgence in lust, but is driven by a certain purpose and must follow a specific cycle and frequency."

"That is to say, he failed last time and had to fill the gap, so he kidnapped two people at once."

Everyone here is smart, so there is no need to make things too obvious.

Qi Fengzhang's eyes lit up and he looked at Zhou You curiously. This junior brother from the outer courtyard was no simple matter!

With just a few simple sentences, the cause and effect are connected, revealing a big secret of the flower thief.

This guy is picking flowers, it is very likely that he has a hidden disease or is practicing some evil skills.

If you don't touch a woman you will die!
"Master, I am busy and cannot serve you here. Please forgive me!"

After Qi Fengzhang confessed his crime, he took Shi Gaofei away from the spot.

Zhou You's words gave him inspiration, and he was eager to use resources to verify a certain possibility, perhaps he could find out the hiding place of the flower thief.

Wang Jianxiong looked satisfied as he looked around at his disciples.

“You should use your brain when dealing with things. The only thing that increases with age is not strength, but wisdom.”

He was in a good mood and raised his chin towards Zhou You, "Zhou You, I want to reward you, what do you want?"

The disciples on both sides were all shocked. This was a rare opportunity!

This is what Zhou You was waiting for. He said seriously:

"I tried my best last night, but I couldn't defeat the Flower Thief with my Wind Chasing Triple Technique. I think it's because I haven't cultivated enough."

"Please teach me a more powerful method, Master."

What is more powerful than the Wind Chasing Triple Technique is...

"Okay, Lu Qiang, you come and teach him the Tiger Evil."

Lu Qiang was shocked. This was an exception. How could an apprentice from the outer courtyard learn the secret Tiger Evil?
"Look at him, he will definitely break through his Qi and Blood in the future, so I'll just treat it as teaching him in advance."

Wang Jianxiong didn't care about it. It was just a matter of his thought whether to make an exception or not.
