Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 1026 - 1025: Simply a Monster

Chu Ge blinked, looking suspiciously at Su Yuanzhou, "Brother Su, you just said... how many characters do you need to cultivate to be able to hypnotize someone?""The fifth one." Su Yuanzhou saw Chu Ge's peculiar expression and smiled, "Actually, theoretically, you can start trying with the fourth, but even if the other person's spiritual power is really weak and they are completely cooperative, the success rate is still low. To be on the safe side, I still recommend waiting until you reach the fifth character before trying."

Chu Ge scratched his head. He was going to ask what kind of hypnotic effect reaching the eighth character might have, but he swallowed the words back, nodded, and with a helpless smile said, "Uh... like this..."

Judging from Su Yuanzhou's current expression and tone, it was not hard for Chu Ge to tell that in Su Yuanzhou's eyes, reaching the fifth character was definitely not easy. If he told Su Yuanzhou that he had reached the eighth character in just a few hours, and without much effort at that, he would probably... no, he would definitely make Su Yuanzhou doubt his ears.

So Chu Ge quickly thought it over and decided it was better not to tell Su Yuanzhou about it.

It wasn't that Chu Ge didn't trust Su Yuanzhou, but as the saying goes, if something is too abnormal, it is often wisest to keep it hidden. Sometimes, being too straightforward is just being naïve.

"Oh, did you try to cultivate again after I left yesterday?" Su Yuanzhou asked casually, while Chu Ge was in thought. The talent Chu Ge showed yesterday really intrigued him.

Chu Ge hesitated for a moment, then nodded with a smile, "Yeah, I practiced a little while, then got sleepy and went to bed."

This point, Chu Ge didn't need to hide, because anyone who came across such a magical cultivation technique would certainly not be able to hold back. Saying he didn't practice at all would just be nonsense, right?

"So how do you feel? Did you encounter any problems?"

"Well... it's okay."

Upon hearing Chu Ge's vague response, Su Yuanzhou's curiosity increased. He hesitated for a bit, then asked, seemingly casually, "If you say okay, it should be pretty good, right? No need to be so modest with me. What character have you reached?"

Chu Ge smiled and said, "The third one."

Even though Chu Ge had intentionally given an answer he considered humble, Su Yuanzhou was still momentarily taken aback, blinking with a strange expression, and muttered unconsciously, "The third one?"

Seeing Su Yuanzhou's expression, Chu Ge couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.

Really? Could simply reaching the third character be enough to surprise Su Yuanzhou?

If he told Su Yuanzhou that he had actually reached the eighth character, wouldn't Su Yuanzhou trip over his own feet and fall right onto the ground?

"Brother Su, is this cultivation speed... okay?"

Feeling awkward under Su Yuanzhou's strange gaze, Chu Ge, although he already had an answer in mind, still asked knowingly.

Su Yuanzhou came back to himself, awkwardly smiling and coughing, "Uh... yeah, it's okay, haha..."

Outwardly, Su Yuanzhou said "okay," but inwardly he was thinking, "damn." In the cultivation of this technique passed down through the Su Family for generations, he prided himself on having pretty decent talent. Yet it took him more than half a month to reach the third character, and Chu Ge did it in just one night?

To be precise, half a night, considering it was already the early hours when he left yesterday. Even if Chu Ge hadn't slept at all and cultivated continuously until meeting him, would that speed still be too terrifying?

Moreover, judging from Chu Ge's spirited look, he clearly rested well and was completely refreshed.

When Chu Ge effortlessly grasped the first character, Su Yuanzhou already thought this guy was a freak. He thought he had already regarded Chu Ge highly, yet Chu Ge's talent surpassed even his expectations.

Perhaps the word 'freak' wasn't enough to describe Chu Ge's cultivation speed; this guy was practically a genius!

Seeing the insincerity in Su Yuanzhou's expression and tone, Chu Ge increasingly felt that he had made a wise decision. If he had been honest and told Su Yuanzhou he had reached the eighth character, who knows if Su Yuanzhou's eyes would pop out of their sockets or if he'd feel the urge to dissect and study him.

Chu Ge didn't have much else to ask, so he smiled at Su Yuanzhou and said, "Brother Su, we've been out for a while now, you see..."

Hearing Chu Ge say this, Su Yuanzhou nodded, "Hmm, let's go. If we don't head back soon, those two beauties by your side might get impatient."

The two left the room and returned to Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying. Just then, Qiao Jia had called; Kamakura High School had finished classes, and she and Xie Simin were waiting for them nearby.

Qin Ruojing once again spoke some apologetic words to Su Yuanzhou, expressing that if he encountered any trouble due to yesterday's events, he could contact her, and then she bid farewell.

Seeing Qin Ruojing's worried expression as she was leaving, Chu Ge found it amusing. If Watanabe Shinji's group didn't come looking for trouble with Su Yuanzhou, it would be their good luck. If they did come again, well... Su Yuanzhou had plenty of ways to deal with them.

Leaving the small inn, the three walked to the agreed meeting place near Kamakura High School with Qiao Jia. First, they had a meal nearby, then rented a car and started touring Kamakura City.

Kamakura, a seaside city in Kanagawa Prefecture, is an ancient city with a history spanning nearly a thousand years. It was built in the 12th century and served as a political center at the time, with flourishing Buddhist culture. After the Kamakura shogunate era ended, the city experienced a decline but retained a relatively well-preserved group of ancient buildings.

Starting from the Edo period, Kamakura, as a travel destination near the capital, began to thrive once again. In modern times, it became a cultural city favored by literary giants for their sojourns. Kamakura today is Japan's third most well-known ancient capital, after Kyoto and Nara.

As an ancient capital, Kamakura's main attractions are mostly temples, such as Hasedera Temple with its statue of Kannon, Baoguo Temple known as the "Temple of Bamboo," and Kotoku-In housing the Great Buddha of Kamakura, among others.

That afternoon, the group casually toured around. Qiao Jia and Xie Simin were like the most competent tour guides, introducing places to eat, drink, and have fun. With them around, Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying had two more people to chat with and had a great time. Despite having gone to bed very late the previous night, they didn't feel tired at all.

As Chu Ge and the others enjoyed their food and entertainment, their mood was naturally very pleasant. Meanwhile, Watanabe Shinji and his group, who had been harshly dealt with the night before, were filled with resentment and hatred, scheming about revenge.

Through his connections with the police, Watanabe Shinji had obtained the list of those who stayed at Su Yuanzhou's small inn the previous day, along with some basic information about these people. Among them, the names Chu Ge, Qin Ruojing, and Qin Ruoying caught his attention.

Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying—these names immediately suggested twins. And because they were Chinese names, he almost instinctively thought of the three people from Hua Country whom he had encountered the previous day.

Watanabe Shinji clearly remembered that the attitude of those three from Hua Country towards him was far from friendly. Thinking that they too stayed at that small inn that same evening, he felt there was a strong suspicion surrounding them!

With this judgment, Watanabe Shinji described the appearances of Chu Ge, Qin Ruojing, and Qin Ruoying to his Qinghong Association members, asking everyone in the organization to keep an eye out for them.

It seemed inevitable that paths would cross. As Chu Ge and his group had finished visiting the Great Buddha of Kamakura and just left Kotoku-In, they happened to encounter Watanabe Shinji, who was about to pay respects to the Great Buddha.

Watanabe Shinji hadn't expected at all to run into them. After all, even though Kamakura is small, with no leads, the chance of meeting the people he hoped to see was virtually zero.

He was merely accompanying two companions injured the previous day, simply intending to offer incense and dispel bad luck, yet unexpectedly, they encountered Chu Ge and the Qin sisters.

Watanabe Shinji and his group were entering Kotoku-In, while Chu Ge and his group were exiting. They crossed paths face-to-face, and Watanabe Shinji was momentarily stunned, his brows furrowing subconsciously.

Chu Ge also didn't expect to see Watanabe Shinji here. This guy still looked quite energetic—after getting hit by a stone last night, he could still be so lively today?

Although a bit surprised, Chu Ge wasn't planning to pay attention to Watanabe Shinji. In his eyes, this guy was just a petty thug, not worth an extra glance.

However, just because Chu Ge didn't consider Watanabe Shinji important didn't mean others around him felt the same way.

Seeing Watanabe Shinji, Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying felt a jolt in their hearts. While others didn't know what happened last night, the sisters were fully aware that it was Chu Ge who thrashed Watanabe Shinji and his group.

Thinking about this, they felt somewhat uneasy. After all, this was a foreign land, and they didn't have any backing here. Even though Chu Ge was skilled, it's not like they could resolve every issue with force, right?

Worried about the same thing, the sisters' faces became a bit unnatural, and they subconsciously averted their eyes.

At this moment, it wasn't just the Qin sisters whose expressions changed; Qiao Jia and Xie Simin's faces also suddenly altered.
