This Curse Is Just Awesome

Chapter 344: Breaking Through To Level 3! (8)

"Duan Ye..."

"It's me."

After pushing open the glass door, Duan Ye leaned to the side like the owner of the room, inviting the 'guest' in. "Please."

"You... Don't come with good intentions." Chen Yu narrowed his eyes.

"Your words are too harsh. Can't I come and chat with you?"

"If you can't, can you just take out a knife?"

Kacha.

Duan Ye took out his heavy pistol and loaded it. "I don't know how to use a knife."

"Chen Yu." Chen Siwen's expression was solemn as she stood in front of Chen Yu. "I know this person. I've seen him on the news before. Isn't he your classmate?"

"Yes." Chen Yu nodded. "Not anymore."

"Then what am I now?" Duan Ye's gaze was complicated.

"Friend... or enemy."

"..."

Hearing this, a flash of pain flashed across Duan Ye's face, but it quickly recovered. He looked at Bahuang Yao. "Yao Zi, long time no see."

"Duan Ye..." Bahuang Yao bit her lips. "I'm sorry."

"What are you sorry for?"

"It was my brother's evil thoughts that caused the citizens of He City to..."

"There's no need to apologize." Duan Ye was expressionless. "That's your brother's problem, not yours. Moreover, I've already killed your brother once. We're even."

"Thank... Thank you."

"No need to thank me. Although we're even, as long as I meet him, I'll still do it."

"Why?" Chen Yu frowned.

"Because the existence of Bahuang Yi is a threat to the Fair Association."

"The Fair Association." Bahuang Yao's eyes were slightly red. "Duan Ye... you have indeed joined the Fair Association."

"It's obvious." Duan Ye spread his hands. "I'm wanted by the authorities. Other than the Fair Association, do I have anywhere else to go?"

"...I'm sorry."

"Yao Zi, other than being sorry, what else can you say? Moreover, from a certain point of view, I have to thank your brother." Duan Ye took a step forward. "If I hadn't been forced to join the Fair Association, I wouldn't have known the truth of this world."

"Alright, let's go in first." Chen Yu was obviously unwilling to discuss the so-called 'truth of the world.' He immediately interrupted the two of them and pointed to the ceiling. "Let's talk inside. Duan Ye, you didn't come to me to talk about this kind of thing, right?"

"Alright." Duan Ye agreed and once again stretched out his hand. "Please."

Chen Siwen carefully observed Duan Ye a few times before moving closer to Chen Yu's ear. "Brother, you already said that he came with ill intentions. Why don't I just f*ck him directly?"

Chen Yu said, "You can't beat him."

Chen Siwen said, "Let's gang up and do it."

Chen Yu said, "That makes sense. Let's do it after we enter the room."

Chen Siwen said, "Scram!"

Chen Yu said, "Shh, keep your voice down."

Duan Ye's face turned black. "Your conspiracy can be quieter."

Three minutes later.

Everyone returned to the suite on the top floor.

When they opened the door, the first thing they saw was Ma Li, who was tied to the sofa.

"Brother Yu!"

Ma Li hurriedly shouted, "Save me!"

Chen Yu was shocked. He quickly went forward and tightly tied the hemp rope. "Duan Ye, if you tie it so loosely, she will escape."

Ma Li: "..."

Duan Ye: "It's mainly because it looks good. You know, when it comes to tying, I'm very professional."

Ma Li: "In this situation, can the two of you stop fooling around?"

"Sister Ma Li, let me help you." Bahuang Yao walked over and took out a dagger. She cut the rope cleanly. "Are you alright?"

"Much better." Ma Li stretched her muscles and bared her teeth. "Xiao Yao is still the best. What a kind girl. Why is she in the same class as those two idiots?"

Sitting on the sofa, Chen Yu crossed his legs and raised his eyebrows. "Ma Li, were you the one who lured the Imperial Army here?"

"Nonsense." Ma Li pouted. "I even regretted coming to look for you. They caught me in your bed."

"They?" Chen Yu's pupils constricted as he grasped the main point. He looked at Duan Ye. "You didn't come alone?"

"Bed?" Bahuang Yao's pupils constricted as she grasped the main point. She looked at Ma Li. "Why were you in Brother Yu's bed?"

Duan Ye came to a realization. "Who is the Imperial Army that you're talking about?"

BB: "What is the Imperial Army?"

Chen Siwen: "In this kind of situation, BB, can you stop babbling?"

Chen Yu: "...Can you guys not cause any more trouble?"

"Let's go into the bedroom and ask our own questions." Ma Li pointed at the master bedroom and suggested, "Leave the living room to Chen Yu."

Everyone: "Alright."

After saying that, the few of them ran into the bedroom and closed the door with a bang.

In the empty living room, only Chen Yu was left.

"...F*ck! Duan Ye, why the f*ck did you follow them in?!"

"Oh, oh, oh." Duan Ye reacted and opened the door again.

Chen Yu said, "How did you survive in the Fair Association?"

"Someone took care of me."

"Who?"

"I can't say."

Chen Yu did not want to ask.

He looked around and shrugged. "There's no kettle or tea, so I won't treat you to anything. Let's talk about something."

"Sure. That's what I meant."

"From what Ma Li said just now, you didn't come alone?"

"Yes." Duan Ye nodded and spread out his five fingers. "I brought my subordinate, a Level 10 fighter."

Chen Yu said, "No one is as boastful as you."

"Level 9." Duan ye changed his words.

"Fine, it doesn't matter even if you bring a Level 175 Tang Empire. It doesn't matter." Chen Yu leaned over and slowed down his words. "Tell me, why did you come here?"

Duan Ye did not answer immediately.

Instead, he reached into his pocket and took out a photo, handing it to Chen Yu. "Here."

"What's this?" Chen Yu took it and glanced at the front of the photo. Puzzled, he asked, "A figure?"

Duan Ye stared into Chen Yu's eyes. "Are you sure you don't know?"

Chen Yu said, "Are you crazy? What the f*ck can you tell from this?"

"Impressive." Duan Ye gave him a thumbs up. "In just a few short weeks, your shrewdness has grown again."

"What exactly do you mean?" Chen Yu frowned.

"Brother Yu." Duan Ye took back the photo and placed it on the table. He pointed at the black-robed figure and enunciated each word clearly. "The person here is you."

"Oh." Chen Yu came to a realization. "This black-robed person is your father."

"...Brother Yu, there's no need to pretend to be ignorant between us."

Chen Yu: "I said he's not me."

Duan Ye: "I said he's you."

Chen Yu: "I said he's not me!"

Duan Ye: "I said he's you!!"

Chen Yu: "...Alright, it's up to you."

"Brother Yu." Standing up, Duan Ye pressed Chen Yu against the sofa with a 'bang'. His gaze was cold. "You can hide it from anyone in the world, but you definitely can't hide it from me. Because..."

"..." Chen Yu's emotions were inexplicably complicated. "Because we're father and son?"

Duan Ye pointed at the crotch of the black-robed man in the photo. "Because no one in the world can be as big as you!"

"F*ck!" Chen Yu felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

"I analyzed 147 photos simultaneously. Through multiple comparisons from various angles, I proved that that place isn't a shadow. It's a real hump!"

Chen Yu: "..."

"Accept your fate." Duan Ye was sad. "Life is like this. The one who betrays you is often your dearest 'brother'."

Chen Yu: "...It's a ghost if I f*cking believe you."

"Alright." Duan Ye's expression returned. "I admit that I don't have enough evidence. But I am certain that this mysterious person is you."

"Let's not talk about whether this person is me or not. So what if he is me? What did he do?"

"He controlled two Level 9 exotic beasts to fight among themselves and indirectly saved Shanghai."

Chen Yu suddenly sat up straight. "F*ck, so awesome?"

"Stop pretending."

"Two Level 9 exotic beasts? Can a puny low-level martial artist like me control them?"

"Stop pretending."

"If I really did it, I would have long been famous all over the world!"

"Stop pretending." Duan Ye curled his lips. "No matter how well you hide, there are some things you can't lie to me about."

"...Duan Ye."

"What?"

"You seem to have a brain disease. Hurry up and find an anal hospital to dig it out."

Straightening up, Duan Ye took two steps back and stared down at Chen Yu. "I know you won't admit it. Otherwise, with your personality, you wouldn't have taken the initiative to hide it. But whether or not the man in black is you, you know in your heart."

Chen Yu nodded. "I'm sure I know very well myself."

"So, I'll move on to the second topic."

"Release."

"Join the Fair Association."

"No." Chen Yu refused on the spot.

"Brother Yu." Duan Ye clenched his fists. "I've told you the reason for the appearance of the exotic beasts. Don't you believe me?"

"I believe you." Chen Yu also stood up and looked at the other party face to face. "Just because I believe you, I can't join the Fair Association."

"Why?"

"Because running away will never solve the problem." Chen Yu gave a thumbs up and pointed at his chest. "A warrior is brave. A real warrior dares to face the ending that has long been destined."

"..."

Duan Ye was silent.

In the shabby living room, their eyes met.

One could hear a pin drop around them.

Ten minutes later, Duan Ye said in a hoarse voice, "Brother Yu..."

The moment he opened his mouth, the salty taste entered his mouth.

Only then did he realize that his face was already covered in tears.

"I beg you."

"Brother Yu."

"Join the Fair Association..."

As he said that, Duan Ye slammed the heavy pistol on the table. "I don't care about anything other than you. I beg you."

"..."

At this moment, Chen Yu clearly felt the emotions coming from Duan Ye's soul.

It was anticipation, unwillingness, sadness, helplessness, fantasy... despair..

Unconsciously, Chen Yu's eyes also became wet.

He suddenly recalled the safety officer of Elite Class 2—— Zhang Tie.

When they were underground in the capital city.

Did Zhang Tie and his elder brother, Zhang Gang, have the same experience...

"Fair Association..."

Chen Yu became absent-minded.

There were only two directions in the world.

Forward.

Backward.

However, the world was not round. People in two directions could never walk together...

"Duan Ye."

After taking a deep breath, Chen Yu lowered his voice, "Let me... consider it."

"...Okay." Duan Ye sat on the sofa wearily as if his soul had been sucked out.

He understood.

The so-called 'consideration' was just a polite rejection.

He and his former comrades were destined to go against each other...

"Do you want to leave after eating?" Chen Yu sent the guest off.

"I'll give you three days to consider." Duan Ye opened his bleeding mouth, got up, and left.

Dong!

The door closed shut.

Chen Yu covered his face in silence.

"Three days."

"It's too urgent..."

...

Outside the hotel.

Duan Ye composed himself, spat out the saliva that was bleeding from his clenched teeth, and walked into the restaurant next door.

In the corner of the restaurant, the assassin was already waiting there.

"How was it?" As Duan Ye came closer, the assassin went straight to the point.

"The result was good."

"He agreed to join?" The assassin was delighted.

"He agreed." Duan Ye nodded. "But he didn't completely agree."

"What do you mean?"

"He said that he wanted to consider it. He might still be a little hesitant." Duan Ye shrugged.

"Didn't you tell him about the secret regarding the exotic beasts? As well as the core plan of our Black-Clothed Sect?"

"I did."

The assassin frowned. "Then why did he still want to consider it? For such a matter, as long as he has a head, he would know how to choose, right?"

Duan Ye: "Unfortunately, he doesn't have a head."

"I see." The assassin understood.

"Let's wait for three days. I'll go rest first. You can report to the leader."

"What if he still doesn't agree after three days?"

"It's impossible for him to not agree."

"What if?"

"What else is there to say." Duan Ye held back his disgust and smiled. "Kill him directly. We have to be responsible for the future of humanity."

"Alright."

The assassin nodded happily. "I observed him from afar for a long time just now. His strength doesn't seem to be too strong. It seems that he used some special technique to control a Level 9 beast. Then I should be able to handle it by myself. There's no need to apply for the Death Poison."

"Death Poison!"

Duan Ye's body trembled violently.

"Yeah. Death Poison. After all, only this thing can handle a Level 9 beast."

"...You're using a plasma cannon to kill the chickens. You might as well keep it for the Third Boss to use."

...

"Three days."

His eyes slowly sharpened. Chen Yu took off his coat and walked straight to the master bedroom's door. He pushed the door open and entered.

Crash --

The four women lying at the door were instantly pushed to the ground.

"Ah!" Ma Li cried out in surprise and then stood up awkwardly. "I'm sorry, we just..."

"No need to explain." Chen Yu interrupted and pointed outside the bedroom. "Let's go, I'm busy."

"Xiao Yu, what did your classmate say to you just now?" Chen Siwen carefully observed Chen Yu's facial expression. "You don't seem right..."

"We'll talk about the rest when we have time. You guys go first." Chen Yu urged.

"Brother Yu." Bahuang Yao's eyes were red. "Did you and Duan Ye have a fight?"

"Xiao Yao, your Brother Duan is no longer the same as before."

"...I got it."

The young girl lowered her head and walked out silently.

Bang!

After everyone left the bedroom, Chen Yu locked the door and opened the zipper of his backpack. He took out a thin book.

Level 3 to Level 2 -- 'crystallized liquid'!

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Chen Yu took a deep breath and opened the first page.

From beginning to end, he quickly and carefully read it.

Twelve minutes.

He closed the book.

He closed his eyes and concentrated his Qi in his dantian. He mobilized the sea of Qi in his body and began to operate.

[Sea of Qi liquefaction: Condensing +105]

[Sea of Qi liquefaction: Condensing +117; Strength Density +2]

[Condensing +134; +152; +197...]

Ka!

Ka ka.

Vaguely, Chen Yu felt that his sea of Qi was turning from a liquid state to a solid state.

Half an hour.

One hour.

Three hours...

When the noon sun in the Tibetan area was getting hotter, there was a muffled 'boom'!

The shock wave spread!

All of Chen Yu's clothes were torn apart instantly.

When the pressure stabilized.

He slowly opened his eyes.

The entire world seemed to become much clearer before his eyes.

"Finally."

"Level 3..."

"Next..."

Chen Yu turned his head and looked at the remaining half a can of S-Grade synthetic fluid in his backpack...
