At the moment Zhu Yichen was killed, an old man coughed up blood in an unknown cave.
His dark blood landed on his apparatus, which were filled with various liquids and organisms.
After a few minutes, he stopped, and his body shivered from ecstasy like he was on drugs.
"One of the guinea pigs is dead!
Mei Lin!"
An image of a beautiful woman appeared behind the old man as she knelt down on one knee.
"Yes, Lord South!"
"Bring him to me!"
Mei Lin understood what was being said and nodded her head as she disappeared into the plum blossoms.
Only her voice was left resounding in the place.
"Consider it done."
Lord South wrapped his arms around himself as he let out a joyous laugh.
"If he could kill Zhu Yichen, he must be strong and hopefully he will be able to survive through my experiments. Kukuku!"
Three days later, inside the main hall of the Su Clan, Zhong Bai Yi was looking at the image of his daughter with a small smile.
Zhong Xie was walking again. Although her cultivation got reduced to the first stage of the Spirit Realm, she still had her A-Grade talent.
Zhong Xie sat on her father's lap with a complicated gaze, as various emotions flickered in her deep gaze.
"You still haven't found that maple-leaf man?"
Ever since she got rid of her poison, she had been searching for Mickey. It wasn't something as cliché as trying to repay him back, but to actually torture him and plunder all the alchemy ideas he had! If torturing him didn't work, she would ask someone to look through his memories, although that might not work since he might turn crazy during the process.
Zhong Bai Yi was in total agreement with this. He thought the maple-leaf man might have stumbled upon a blessed land and obtained knowledge about potions from it. If they got the formulas he got from the blessed land, then the Su clan might rise to be the best clan in all of Acoustic City.
However, Mickey was shrewd about hiding his identity. Besides AGT, no one knew about him.
Zhong Bai Yi could only sigh in helplessness.
"Our only chance of catching him is to wait for the next time he appears in the AGT Battle Arena."
The young girl nodded in understanding, although she felt impatient in her eyes.
'Such a person might have a method to advance to the world realm faster. I must catch him and look for a way to become a world realm Book Lord, and finally have my revenge!'
She put the thoughts at the back of her mind, and asks.
"Did he somehow get wind that we are looking for him? He should have fought at least two matches during the time he has been gone."
Zhong Bai Yi shook his head at his daughter's question.
"That doesn't seem to be the case. That man enjoys fighting. With how much he has lost, he should have given up a long time ago."
Zhong Xie sighed in disdain. "Why is such a talentless person trying so hard?"
Bam-!
At that moment, someone burst open the door, and the two cringed their faces. This was their 'Father and Daughter' time. How could they let someone walk away after seeing the daughter sitting on her father's lap while her head was buried in his chest?
Luckily, the person who had walked in had news that made the two dissolve their anger into joy.
"Maple! Maple-Leaf Stepping Stone has appeared at the battle arena!"
The pair of father and daughter yelled in unison,
"Take us there!"
This was indeed true; Mickey was wearing a taekwondo dobok with his maple-leaf mask at the far end of the dusty arena.
He was stretching his arms around and jumping up and down as he looked at his opponent, whom was shirtless and playing around with his developed chest that allured some of the women's hearts. He wore tight shorts that leaved little to the imagination.
His name is Weakling Destroyer!
"Fight!"
The moment the announcer signaled the start of the fight, the two rushed at each other with cold light in their eyes.
The moment they were a foot from each other, Mickey quickly said something to disturb his opponent.
"Why wear tight shorts when you knew your crotch was going to tear them?"
No matter how prepared Weakling Destroyer was, his opponent's words made him look at the space between his legs.
His pupils shrunk to pin size when he noticed that everything was the same as he remembered when he changed his clothes.
Wham-!
Mickey used this chance to punch him in the face. Weakling Destroyer got no choice but to be pushed back a few meters, and he spat out blood.
Yeah-!
The crowd all erupted into cheers at Mickey's act. Why did they like such a shameless person?
Because he is fun to watch!
Simple.
People were getting tired of those cliché fights where people would shed a little blood and surrender. The audience had been into bloody matches, but the arrival of Maple Leaf Stepping Stone changed all that.
His matches were full of blood since he got injured a lot, and he would always make his opponents feel humiliated.
He was shameless!
That's what they liked about him!
For the sake of his reputation, Mickey clicked his tongue a few times in disdain. "Are those breast heavy? Someone who just gave birth isn't allowed to do this kind of activities. "
Weakling Destroyer is a human realm Book Lord, but here the amount of Qi doesn't matter. This match needs physical strength!
Knowing this made him grit his teeth in rage, but at that moment, he found a kick landing on his jaw, pushing him to the side.
"Piece of shit!"
He didn't let the dizziness in his mind pull him down. He now understood why his sponsor told him to be careful.
He went straight to throw a jab at Mickey, but the little brat stepped back to dodge.
Swish-!
A whistling sound was left in the air, making Weakling Destroyer throw a barrage of attacks at Mickey. However, the situation got worse as the young man kept on dodging and insulting him.
At one time, Mickey said that his mother cried all night because she couldn't stand his junior as it was too big for her!
This insult talked about every men in his family, which made him cry.
Weakling Destroyer, a man who has broken a lot of people's bones, was crying because of a guy like Maple-Leaf Stepping Stone with over 10 defeats and 0 wins.
A lot of emotions were being put into his attacks, which gave Mickey an advantage over him.
Bam-!
Mickey clashed fists with the brown-haired man with monolid eyes, and both men were pushed back a few inches.
Bam-!
Their kicks collided, and now Mickey had started to exchange attacks with Weakling Destroyer.
The stalemate continued for a good number of minutes until the man in the maple-mask took advantage.
Wham-!
Weakling Destroyer was hit in the chest and felt blood rushing to the top of his head as a new realization struck him.
'He was hiding his strength!'
'He is so shameless!'
Before he could cough out the blood in his mouth, his jaw was hit with a knee, and his teeth crushed, causing him to swallow the mouthful of blood.
Weakling Destroyer wanted to ask the sky how this was happening, but at that moment, he received a dropkick to the face which twisted his neck in the wrong position, knocking him out.
Maple Leaf Stepping Stone had his first victory!
