Hearing this, Su Ti subconsciously asked.

"Professor Xu, you know?"

"Hmph, she still wanted to hide it from me. How could she possibly hide something like this? She secretly took that bracelet out, and when I found out later, I knew something would happen! These things are too evil, containing mysterious power that we can't understand yet. Collecting these cursed antiques must be done with extreme caution."

Xu Shouyang snorted and then said to Su Ti.

"Su Ti, I still have to thank you. You are my daughter's benefactor, you saved her from a disaster."

"She's my only daughter, she's my lifeblood, nothing can happen to her."

"As soon as she graduated from university, I used my connections to arrange for her to be by my side, working as a counselor at Mingguang University. I was also worried about her leaving me and something happening to her."

"To repay your kindness, you can take whatever you like from here as a gift from me. Don't be a stranger. Your Professor Xu may not have anything else, but I have plenty of these antiques."

Xu Shouyang waved his hand, not caring at all.

Su Ti estimated that the most expensive antique here at Xu Shouyang's place was worth over a million.

He told him to take whatever he wanted, meaning he would casually give away things worth millions, just to repay the favor. This showed his character.

But Su Ti was also a person with backbone.

"Professor Xu, what are you saying? Brother Xu is my brother. It's only right for brothers to support each other. How can I take your things?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Xu Shouyang was instantly choked when he heard this, coughing heavily several times, and repeatedly waved his hand.

"Alright, alright, don't talk about your relationship with Xiao Jun anymore. I already know, I'm very clear."

Su Ti nodded slightly, it was good that he knew.

"But Professor Xu, I'm very interested in these cursed antiques. I wonder if you have any channels to get more."

Xu Shouyi was stunned, a little strange.

"Are you not satisfied with those few? If you want them, I can give them to you, but you must be careful with them and absolutely avoid prolonged physical contact."

Su Ti thought to himself when he heard this, What's the use of giving them to me? The energy is gone.

"No need, Professor Xu. I'm actually just curious and want to see a few more."

"Your habit is quite strange... However, cursed antiques are a very niche collection. I got these three by accident. If I get new ones in the future, I will invite you to see them as soon as possible."

"Then thank you, Professor Xu."

"Hey, don't call me Professor anymore. We're already so familiar. From now on, just call me Uncle Xu. If you have any questions about your studies, feel free to come and ask me anytime. If you have difficulties at home, you can also tell me. Even if there's nothing, you can often come here to play."

Xu Shouyang's character was also very upright. Although Su Ti didn't accept his gift, it made Xu Shouyang have a very good impression of him, and their conversation became more intimate.

"Then thank you, Uncle Xu."

Next, Su Ti had dinner at Xu Shouyang's house and talked about Hesia's history and cursed antiques for a long time before leaving his house.

He just didn't know why Xu Jun looked at him with a hint of resentment when he left.

Su Ti walked on the way home. Xu Jun had been serving him food at her house, and he was full. Walking now was just right for digestion.

"Cursed antiques..."

Su Ti pondered over this term. Although he now knew that the energy came from these cursed antiques, he hadn't found a way to obtain them.

Although Xu Shouyang said that if he got new cursed antiques, he would invite him to visit as soon as possible, Su Ti felt that he still needed to have his own channels. After all, a collector like Xu Shouyang only had three cursed antiques in his hands after so many years.

"The dark web might be a way. After all, the dark web can even get Ancient Martial Arts. Although cursed antiques are niche, there are definitely people who collect them."

"However... cursed antiques on the dark web probably won't be cheap."

Although they were ominous things, the more magical items with mysterious power they were, the more they attracted rich people with special hobbies to collect them.

If Su Ti wanted to buy cursed antiques on the dark web, he would undoubtedly need a large sum of money. Although he still had the fifty thousand yuan given by his uncle in his pocket, this amount of money was probably not enough to buy even one.

However, the most urgent task was not to collect cursed antiques, but to find a backer who could help him deal with the trouble from the Death Fighting Competition.

Su Ti hadn't been to the Dragon Gate Martial Hall for two days. Now that he had sufficient energy and had cultivated the Dragon Shape Five Forms to Great Accomplishment, it was time to go to the Dragon Gate Martial Hall.

Cultivating the Dragon Shape Five Forms to Great Accomplishment in a week, such talent should be enough for the master of the Dragon Gate Martial Hall to take him as a disciple.

This way, not only would he have protection, but he could also learn higher-level Ancient Martial Arts.

Just as he was thinking this, suddenly, Su Ti's eyes moved, and a cold expression appeared on his face. Someone was following him.

If it were before, he definitely wouldn't have noticed, but now, his physical fitness had improved in all aspects, with both Strength and Agility at 1 point.

Strength could be understood as muscle strength and explosive power, while Agility was flexibility, reflexes, and senses.

One point of Agility made Su Ti's senses about twice as sharp as an ordinary person, and he easily detected the gaze that had been watching him from behind.

At this time, who would be following him was self-evident.

Li Mingyuan's people, the organizers of the underground black boxing in Mingguang City!

If it were before he had achieved Great Accomplishment in the Dragon Shape Five Forms, Su Ti might have been afraid, but now, Su Ti sneered, changed his steps, and walked towards a secluded park nearby.

Red Leaf Park, located in the old city where Su Ti lived, was in disrepair and had been abandoned.

There were no surveillance cameras near the park, and even streetlights were scarce. It was pitch black at night, and some vicious stray dogs roamed around, so very few people came here at night, deliberately avoiding it.

Two men in black, wearing masks and plain clothes, arrived here at this time. Besides the abandoned sandpit, swings, and broken slide, they saw nothing else.

"We clearly followed him here, where did this kid go?"

The tall man in black frowned, while the shorter one was a little scared.

This place was far from any village or shop. The silent park felt like a scene from a horror movie, and coupled with the fact that the other party had killed the professional boxer Black Bear, it made him feel uneasy.

"He didn't find us, did he? I think we should just forget it. He's a master who killed Black Bear. Neither of us knows martial arts. Why did Young Master Li send us to catch him?"

The shorter man complained a lot. Although he was also a strong man with a muscular build and well-developed chest muscles, he didn't think he could beat a professional underground boxer.

Even if an ordinary person was strong, there was still a gap between them and a professional underground boxer who could kill with their fists.

And when Black Bear was beaten to death that day, he was watching from below the stage. The other party's screams with all four limbs broken were still vivid in his mind.

Therefore, he was a little scared of capturing this fierce person who had killed Black Bear.

"What are you afraid of? That kid is just a master ofJudo. In terms of physical fitness, he's not as good as you or me."

The tall man snorted disdainfully, then sneered.

"Don't forget, there are two of us now. HisJudo can only deal with one person, and this time we have stun guns in our waists. Let alone that he's at most a D-Class Fighter, even if a C-Class or B-Class came, they'd be knocked down with one shot from us."

As soon as the tall man said this, the shorter man's heart immediately settled down a lot.

That's right, this was no longer the ancient times when fists and martial arts reigned supreme. No matter how high your kung fu, one shot would take you down.

So the two of them drew the stun guns from their waists, turned on their flashlights with one hand, and searched carefully in the park back to back.

The park was very small, and they quickly reached the end.

The sound of rushing water came from the end of the park, which was a river.

The two of them shone their flashlights and found a jacket and a pair of shoes discarded by the riverbank.

Seeing this, the two of them changed their expressions and rushed over. They shone their flashlights into the water, but there was only the constantly flowing murky yellow water, and no one was there.

"Damn it! This kid actually ran away!"

"This little bastard, he must have discovered us and just jumped into the water and swam away!"

Just as the two of them were cursing the other party for being so sneaky.

A rustling sound suddenly came from the woods beside them. The tall man reacted the fastest, his expression changed, and he immediately turned around to shoot.

But before he could turn around, a sound of breaking wind came, and with a snap, a splash of blood was directly struck from the tall man's head.

The shorter man turned his head at this moment and just happened to see this scene.

A sharp stone flew into the air. The tall man's temple was deeply sunken, his eyes bulged, his face was distorted, and blood splattered.

The shorter man's mouth was wide open. The terrifying scene at close range made him freeze for a moment. It was this moment that slowed down his action of turning around and shooting. The next second!

A handful of sand from the park's sandpit was thrown out by Su Ti. The Integrated Strength that permeated his entire body gave this handful of sand extremely high kinetic energy, hitting the shorter man's face head-on.

Street fighting, throwing sand!

The shorter man screamed, his eyes hurt, then went black. He subconsciously fired the gun in his hand, and two electrode needles shot out, flying seven or eight meters before sticking into the ground.

And Su Ti stood at a fifty-degree angle to the side of the electrode needles, quietly watching the shorter man scream and fall to the ground, covering his bleeding eyes with one hand, holding the fired stun gun with the other, and constantly shouting loudly not to come over.

Su Ti didn't go over.

He was wearing a single shirt and was barefoot. He searched in the woods beside the path for a while and finally found a stone as big as a washbasin.

Carrying the stone, he came to the shorter man. Ignoring his continued screams, Su Ti raised the stone and smashed it down heavily, directly smashing the tall man's brains out, killing him beyond dead.

Then he untied the tall man's shoelaces and tied his legs to the large stone.

With a thump sound, the tall man's body sank into the river and disappeared.

The shorter man trembled all over when he heard this sound. Although his eyes were injured by the sand and he couldn't see anything, he already knew what had happened.

"No! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

The shorter man dropped the gun and supported himself on the ground with both hands, retreating backward, but behind him was the river.

He supported himself with one hand in the air and was about to fall. Su Ti grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.

At this time, Su Ti's face was cold. First, he was caught and forced to fight in the underground boxing ring, and now he was tracked and ambushed by these two people. After being provoked like this repeatedly, the anger in his heart kept accumulating, so a somewhat crazy idea appeared in his mind.

"Tell me where Li Mingyuan is."

"If I tell you, will you not kill me?"

Before he could finish speaking, Su Ti broke one of his fingers. The pale finger bone mixed with blood flowed down, making the shorter man scream like a pig being slaughtered.

"Tell me where Li Mingyuan is."

The intense pain made the shorter man become fierce and roar.

"I'll die if I tell you, and I'll die if I don't. Why should I tell you?!"

crack.

Su Ti broke another of the shorter man's fingers. This time, besides screaming, he was in so much pain that snot and tears came out, and his whole body was trembling.

"You've seen my jiu-jitsu skills. I can crush every bone in your body before I ask you questions."

"Now, tell me, where is Li Mingyuan?"

"At Great Wealth KTV!"

This time, the short man didn't hesitate at all and roared it out.

His psychological defense had been shattered. If he had eyes at this moment, he would definitely be looking at Su Ti with the terrified gaze one would use for a demon.

"Great Wealth KTV?"

"That's Young Master Li's property. Young Master Li plays there every day!"

"How many people protect him? Does he have guns? Are there any martial arts experts? Tell me everything."

Hearing this, the short man finally understood what Su Ti was going to do. His face showed terror, but before he could speak, another finger was broken.

Ah!

"If you hesitate again, I'll break another one. Just a reminder, you have seven fingers left."
