The Traits was blood red, like congealed blood or a burning flame.
The Traits consists of two large ancient seal script characters.
[Lean Tiger]!
Wu Shuangren's heart skipped a beat.
This was the first time he had seen Traits on someone else since he came into this world!
But why are the colors different? What does blood red represent? How is it different from my own Traits? Does this person know they have Traits?
Countless questions flooded his mind, Wu Shuangren forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart and kept his face expressionless.
He walked towards the center of the field.
Upon seeing Wu Shuangren approaching, the militiamen and guards surrounding the young man automatically made way for him.
The young man immediately became alert, lowering his body slightly and adopting a wary posture towards Wu Shuangren.
His breathing was rapid and erratic; his movements and postures showed no signs of martial arts training.
Wu Shuangren stopped a zhang away from his opponent and carefully examined him.
Why are you causing trouble?
The young man didn't speak, but stared intently at Wu Shuangren, clenching his teeth, his jaw muscles tense, and a low whimper escaping his throat, as if he had seen his natural enemy!
Wu Shuangren frowned.
In front of so many spectators, this young man barged into the Fist Academy and injured Fist Academy members. He had to make a statement, otherwise, what would become of the Fist Academy's authority?
"You caused trouble at my Fist Academy tonight and even injured my men. You owe me an explanation!"
After Wu Shuangren finished speaking, he put on the Traits.
His internal energy surged, and his Internal Skill was enhanced. The extent of this enhancement was similar to that when he fought Sun Lie.
In other words, this seemingly frail young man, who appears to have never practiced martial arts, is at least a Fourth Rank martial artist?
Without further hesitation, Wu Shuangren moved swiftly, shooting out like an arrow released from a bow!
He struck out with his right palm, the wind whistling as it aimed straight for the young man's left shoulder.
The young man reacted very quickly.
The instant Wu Shuangren moved, he leaped backward like a startled wild beast. His movements were completely haphazard, purely instinctive, yet the speed of his leap was astonishing.
Wu Shuangren strike missed, so he immediately changed his move, stepped forward, and swept his left leg out like a whip, sweeping across his opponent's lower body.
The young man stopped dodging and instead met the sweeping leg with a kick of his own.
The force of that strike was terrifying; the air exploded with a deafening roar!
Wu Shuangren head-on; instead, she changed direction midway through her sweeping leg, striking the man in the abdomen.
Bang!
The man was kicked, but his body didn't sway at all. Instead, as if his ferocity had been aroused, he let out a low roar and charged at Wu Shuangren.
His movements were completely erratic and incredibly fast, like a runaway bull!
He rushed up to Wu Shuangren and began slamming his fists down wildly.
Wu Shuangren unleashed the Cloud Tide Returning Wave Steps, her body drifting to the left like a falling leaf, easily dodging her opponent's fists. With her right hand, her fingers pointed like a knife, she slashed at the man's right elbow joint.
This chop was as fast as lightning, delivered from a tricky angle.
But the man seemed to have foreseen the danger, and suddenly pulled back his right arm while his left fist swept horizontally, striking Wu Shuangren and ribs!
A hint of surprise flashed in Wu Shuangren's eyes. He pressed down with his right hand, using the edge of his palm to block the sweeping fist and skillfully deflect the opponent's momentum.
The two then exchanged a few more blows.
Wu Shuangren was fairly certain that the young man had never practiced martial arts, but possessed superhuman strength!
Moreover, they possess extremely keen intuition, always able to sense danger in advance and take the most effective measures.
Is this the effect of the other party's Traits?
Wu Shuangren kept observing the other person's eyes.
Throughout the entire process, the other person never looked up at the top of his head.
So, I can see the other person's Traits, but they can't see mine?
This speculation flashed through Wu Shuangren's mind.
Note 1: The introduction at the beginning of this book states "Only I have the law" because in my setting, only the protagonist in the whole world can see, Traits, and actively use Traits Traits. Only the protagonist's Traits are the most special, hence "Only I have the law".
But after thinking about it, I realized it might cause ambiguity, so I changed the description, but the setting remains the same.
75. All the heroes of the world are before my eyes (Please continue reading)
The young man was naturally strong and had the instincts of a wild beast, but he didn't know martial arts, so in Wu Shuangren's eyes he was full of flaws.
After exchanging a few blows, Wu Shuangren seized an opportunity. Just as the opponent's right fist was about to hit him, he rotated his body to the right, his left arm coiling around the man's right arm like a snake, his five fingers gripping the opponent's elbow joint, and twisting it with a sudden burst of force!
With his right arm restrained, the young man roared and slammed his left fist into Wu Shuangren's face.
Wu Shuangren was prepared. He raised his right hand and slashed at the tendon on the inside of his opponent's left arm with the edge of his palm.
The young man's left arm went numb, and most of his strength was released. Taking advantage of this, Wu Shuangren closed in and used his left arm to twist the man's right arm behind his back.
The young man struggled desperately, his thin body unleashing terrifying power!
With his joints restrained, he should have no power to resist, but his joints groaned as he tried to break his own arm in order to break free from Wu Shuangren's hold!
Seeing this, Wu Shuangren pressed his right hand together like a sword, striking several major acupoints on the opponent's body.
The young man's body stiffened, the fierce light in his eyes quickly dimmed, and he collapsed limply.
Wu Shuangren looked at the other person; even though they were unconscious, the blood-red Traits above their head was still there.
[Lean Tiger]
This man was as thin as a rake, yet as fierce as a tiger; he truly was a Lean Tiger!
"Carry him away."
Wu Shuangren gave instructions to the militiamen standing beside him.
Then he channeled his Internal Skill and addressed the surrounding audience in a loud voice:
"There was a slight mishap, I'm really sorry. To make up for it, the Fist Academy will be having an extra match tonight!"
"Good--"
The crowd cheered and applauded.
Soon, the injured militiamen and guards were carried away, and the spectators who were accidentally injured also paid for their medical expenses.
A new stool was delivered, and the two boxers returned to the ring to begin their match.
The Fist Academy quickly returned to its lively state.
The house next to the Fist Academy.
The young man who had fainted was carried over by the militia and taken to a side room where he lay down on the bed.
Wu Shuangren dismissed everyone else, leaving only himself in the room to guard the other party.
He stared intently at the Traits above the other person's head, and after a while, he naturally understood—
Unlike his own Traits, this person's Traits represents a destiny, or rather, a special kind of luck!
As for the specific function of the Traits "[Lean Tiger]", Wu Shuangren couldn't figure it out, but he could roughly guess some of it.
'So, in this world, anyone with a unique destiny and abundant good fortune will have Traits?'
Wu Shuangren seemed to be deep in thought.
I wonder if these people even know about the existence of this Traits?
He waited a while, and the young man on the bed woke up.
Upon opening his eyes and seeing Wu Shuangren, the other person immediately propped himself up on the bed, instinctively retreating to the corner of the bed, looking wary.
"If I really wanted to hurt you, you would be dead now."
Wu Shuangren said calmly.
The young man pursed his lips, still looking wary, but his body was less tense.
For some reason, he instinctively felt nervous whenever he saw Wu Shuangren!
Wu Shuangren calmly attached the Traits to himself, then stared into the man's eyes.
He noticed that the other person's gaze remained unchanged, fixed on his face and not looking up at the top of his head.
'So only I can see the other person's Traits, but the other person probably can't see Traits.'
Wu Shuangren had a guess in mind and continued, "What's your name?"
"... Xu Yu."
Where are you from?
"Xi Province Cang County."
Why did you resort to violence?
"I never intended to fight!"
Xu Yu suddenly became excited.
Wu Shuangren stared into his eyes. "Why is that?"
Xu Yu said angrily, "I heard you recruit boxers here. You get a hundred coins for each fight, and another hundred for winning. I want to be a boxer, but the guards won't let me in, and they even cursed at my mother!"
"..."
Wu Shuangren could roughly guess the cause and effect.
Xu Yu didn't buy a ticket, so the militiamen guarding the gate definitely wouldn't let him in.
If he were a burly-looking, normally dressed martial artist who said he wanted to apply to be a boxer, the militia guarding the gate certainly wouldn't make things difficult for him; at the very least, they would inform him.
But Xu Yu looked too thin and was dressed so poorly that the militiamen guarding the gate probably thought he was there to cause trouble, so a conflict broke out between the two sides.
How old are you this year?
Wu Shuangren asked again.
Xu Yu: "Sixteen."
Wu Shuangren was surprised to find that the other person was a year younger than him.
Have you ever practiced martial arts?
Xu Yu shook his head. "My mother doesn't allow me to fight with others."
It turns out he really had never practiced martial arts.
At sixteen years old, his innate talent alone was enough to rival that of Fourth Rank martial artist in terms of strength!
Wu Shuangren couldn't help but think of the ' Hegemon-King ' that Wu Dongrong had mentioned to him. He wondered, between Xu Yu and that person, whose innate talent was stronger?
"Your mother forbids you from fighting, yet you still managed to injure so many people today?"
"... My mother is dead."
Xu Yu's expression was somber.
Wu Shuangren paused for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry."
This time, Xu Yu was taken aback. He pursed his lips and remained silent.
Why did you come to West River Market?
Wu Shuangren continued to ask.
Xu Yu paused for Xu Yu before saying, "My mother... told me to come here before she left, saying I could find work here and support myself."
