After two rounds, all thirteen of them—five plus eight—were sprawled across the ground.
Some were clutching their eyes and howling, others were holding their swollen, pig-headed mouths and sucking in sharp breaths, while still others clutched their flattened noses and cried out in pain.
It was a gruesome sight.
The onlookers all around burst into cheers.
"Wonderful! Wonderful!"
"Those lawless little punks deserved a good beating."
"That was so satisfying!"
"The uncle and Little Sister worked together flawlessly! What a beautiful sight. If the uncle cosplayed as Tang San, it would be just like that spectacular scene of Tang San and Xiao Wu fighting the villains from Spirit Hall."
"Uncle, you're amazing!"
"Uncle, you're awesome!"
"Little Sister, you're beautiful and badass!"
"Little Sister, you did great!"
Wu Dongyang was completely dumbfounded!
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
But the scene before him remained the same: his men had been beaten until they were sprawling all over the ground.
Meanwhile, Su Chen and Su Youyu were still standing there, perfectly fine.
How could this happen?
The five burly men he'd brought along were all Quasi-Martial Artists!
And they'd been beaten into this state!
Su Youyu had no foundation in martial arts at all.
He could see that clearly.
As for Su Chen, all he could tell was that he had entered the martial arts path. He couldn't tell what level he was.
He figured Su Chen had only just begun practicing.
He hadn't expected him to beat five Quasi-Martial Artists, along with eight disciples who'd just started training, so thoroughly!
This was utterly shocking!
Could it be—
Su Chen was already a Martial Artist?!
That was the only explanation!
He was terrified out of his mind, but he still cared about saving face. Pointing at Su Chen, he blustered, refusing to let his defeat show. "You! Very good! You dared to hit people from my Dongyang Martial Arts School. I'll make you pay for this!"
After delivering his threat, he turned and ran for his life.
Su Youyu called after him, "Don't run!"
"You're running so fast, like a stray dog with its tail between its legs!"
After shouting that, Su Youyu excitedly turned to Su Chen. "Brother, I really didn't expect you to be this strong."
"You're incredible!"
"Brother, you're so handsome, and you're good at fighting too. Could you cosplay as Tang San from 'Douluo Continent' and film a short video with me?"
As she spoke, Su Youyu pressed her little hands together, blinking her adorable big eyes as she looked at Su Chen pleadingly.
That look felt familiar to Su Chen.
It was just like the look his eldest daughter gave him when she wanted a favor!
His resistance instantly plummeted below zero.
Pretty girls were dangerous~~
"Sure, no problem," Su Chen readily agreed.
He'd been wondering how to bring it up with the girl.
He hadn't expected her to suggest it herself. Perfect.
Once they'd filmed the short video, he'd get the God-tier Chef Skill.
Tempting~
"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, I finally found you." A girl cosplaying as Zhu Zhuqing, the catgirl from "Douluo Continent," hurried over.
"That Wu Dongyang didn't give you a hard time, did he?"
Su Youyu pointed at Wu Dongyang's underlings, who were sprawled on the ground and wailing. "He wanted to, but he didn't have what it takes. I had Brother Tang San looking out for me~"
"Brother Tang San?"
"Duang, duang, duang! This is the brother who protected me just now. He also beat Wu Dongyang's men until they were sprawling all over the ground, and Wu Dongyang ran away too. Hahaha, Tingting, you should've seen how shocked he looked and how he fled like a stray dog. It was so satisfying."
Only then did Shu Tingting look at Su Chen. His handsome face struck her speechless.
Her heart pounded wildly.
It felt like it wasn't even hers anymore, as though it were about to leap right out of her throat.
Good heavens, this uncle was way too handsome!
And he'd even rescued Su Youyu like a hero saving a damsel in distress.
He really was a hero.
"Uncle~~ Hello," Shu Tingting began, just about to introduce herself.
But Su Youyu couldn't contain her excitement and blurted out, "Tingting, Brother just agreed to cosplay as Tang San and film a short video with me."
"Let's hurry and take Brother to change~~"
Shu Tingting asked in delight, "He's going to cosplay as Tang San? That's great!"
"Come on, let's go."
With the two girls leading the way, Su Chen soon arrived at a basement.
Shu Tingting rented the basement, which was full of cosplay costumes. She and Su Youyu were both cosplay enthusiasts.
There was a changing room inside. Su Chen changed into Tang San's outfit.
Then he put on Tang San's wig.
The moment he stepped out, Su Youyu and Shu Tingting were so stunned that they sprang to their feet.
"Oh my god! Someone who didn't know better would think Tang San had stepped right out of the animated series!"
"Brother, you're just too handsome!"
"Add some makeup and blue contact lenses, and you'll be even more breathtaking than Tang San in the animated series!"
The two girls led Su Chen to the makeup mirror and began applying things to his face.
Before long, the Su Chen in the mirror had completely surpassed Tang San from the "Douluo Continent" animated series.
He left the Tang San from the live-action drama a whole street behind.
He was drop-dead gorgeous!
The two girls began shrieking and jumping up and down on the spot. "This is the Tang San I've been dreaming of!"
"Absolutely perfect~~"
"Your looks, your bearing, your physique—all perfect~~"
"Brother Tang San, let's go film the short video! I can hardly wait~" Su Youyu said happily.
"Okay."
The basement had a room set aside specifically for filming.
The backdrop on the wall was a green screen, making it easy to add special effects later.
All the filming equipment was here too.
It wasn't as well-equipped as a professional cosplay studio, but it was small yet complete.
It had everything they needed.
Su Youyu rested a finger against her chin as she pictured the short video they were about to film.
Shu Tingting was turning on the camera.
Su Chen was checking out the set.
Suddenly, Su Youyu's eyes lit up. She hurried over to Su Chen and said, "Brother, could we film a video like the fight just now?"
"The part where you pull me along and I fly in to stomp on someone."
Su Chen nodded. "Sure."
"Brother, you're so good to me~~ Let's get started~~" Su Youyu said eagerly.
They got the short video done in one take.
Since Su Chen had already reached the Martial Artist level, it was easy for him to pull Su Youyu along and have her fly in to stomp on someone.
"One take! That was perfect!" said Shu Tingting, who was doubling as the camera operator and impromptu director.
"Let me see." Su Youyu ran over to watch the footage they'd just filmed.
She hadn't seen herself looking so beautiful and badass while kicking someone yet.
Su Chen didn't go to watch. At that moment, the system's voice rang out in his mind.
"Ding... Congratulations, host. You have made your choice. Reward: God-tier Chef Skill."
"Host, would you like to activate this skill now?"
