C2 Lee Hu's Provocation Was Resolved with a Punch!!

Su Yu, with his bank card in hand, made his way to a bustling street in Hengcheng.

Before long, he had his sights set on a particular store.

"Xincheng Pharmacy!"

This pharmacy was renowned throughout Hengcheng.

They stocked everything from Blood Essence Pills for cultivating one's Blood Essence to Body Strengthening Pills for enhancing physical strength. They even carried the fabled Level Three Pills.

Taking a deep breath, Su Yu stepped into Xincheng Pharmacy, where he was promptly greeted by an attendant.

"Good day, sir. What can I assist you with? We've just received a fresh batch of Level One Blood Essence Pills. Would you be interested?"

The attendant offered a practiced smile as he addressed Su Yu.

Something piqued Su Yu's interest. "I'd like to have a look," he replied.

The attendant's spirits lifted at the prospect of a major sale. After all, those who could afford Blood Essence Pills were usually quite wealthy.

Even if he had misjudged, selling just one Blood Essence Pill would earn him a commission equal to a day's wages.

The attendant was, of course, eager to please such a client.

"Right this way, sir," he said, leading Su Yu to a counter where over ten red Blood Essence Pills lay in repose.

"These are our newly arrived Blood Essence Pills. If you purchase more than ten, I can offer you a 10% discount!"

Ten Blood Essence Pills would normally cost ten thousand, but with the discount, it would be nine thousand.

It was essentially like getting one pill free with the purchase of nine.

Regrettably...

Su Yu thought about the mere eight thousand yuan left on his bank card and shook his head with a sense of resignation. "I won't need that many. Eight will suffice."

Eight pills for eight thousand yuan—Su Yu was about to deplete his entire savings.

But with the Synthesis Column now in play, he wasn't as concerned about parting with the cash.

A flicker of disappointment crossed the attendant's face, but he quickly masked it. The commission on eight pills still amounted to several days' worth of his wages.

Not a bad deal at all.

"Very well, I'll package the Blood Essence Pills for you right away," he said, moving to fulfill the order.

Just then, a discordant voice cut through the air.

"Well, well, if it isn't Su Yu. What brings you to a place like this?"

Su Yu's brow furrowed at the sound of the disdainful voice and turned to see where it was coming from.

A young man clad in sportswear strutted out with an air of arrogance.

Su Yu knew him well; he was a classmate.

Named Lee Hu, he boasted a Blood Essence Value of about 0.35, marking him as quite gifted.

There was even a chance he could attain the rank of Quasi Martial Cultivator in the upcoming Martial Cultivator Test in a month.

Yet, he and Su Yu had always been at odds.

Lee Hu, leveraging his family's wealth, often threw his weight around in class, which didn't win him many friends.

Su Yu had never expected to run into him here, of all places.

With an icy expression, Su Yu asked, "What business is it of yours that I'm here?"

Lee Hu's face soured as Su Yu showed him no deference.

"People like you shouldn't even dream of stepping foot in a place like this."

Turning to the waiter, Lee Hu commanded sharply,

"Pack up all the Blood Essence Pills. I'm buying them all!"

The waiter's eyes gleamed with anticipation.

The entire stock! This meant a hefty commission.

With an apologetic tone, the waiter addressed Su Yu,

"I'm sorry, sir, but Mr. Lee is a VIP at our pharmacy. We must prioritize him for our supplies."

Su Yu's expression turned to stone.

"I was here first. Why won't you sell them to me?"

He barked at the waiter, his gaze fixed and intense.

The waiter, momentarily cowed by Su Yu's stare, regained some bravery thinking of the commission from Lee Hu.

"Sir, as I've mentioned, Lee Hu is our VIP. We must serve Mr. Lee first. If you continue this disruption, I'll have no choice but to ask you to leave."

Su Yu's fists tightened, his veins throbbing with frustration.

Lee Hu, smirking at the scene, chimed in,

"Su Yu, let's not make this hard between classmates. If you can defeat me, I'll hand over all the pills to you."

The commotion drew a crowd within the pharmacy.

"Isn't that the young master of the Lee Family? And who's challenging him?"

"Tsk tsk, defeating the Lee Family's young master? Lee Hu seems hell-bent on giving this kid a hard time!"

"Poor kid, getting on Lee Hu's bad side is never a good sign. Even though Lee Hu is all brawn and no brains, with his family's wealth, he's managed to cultivate a Blood Essence Value of 0.35, nearly reaching Quasi Martial Cultivator status."

"It seems this kid is doomed to bad luck!"

Most of those who could enter here were well-known figures, so naturally, they recognized Lee Hu.

As for Su Yu, just a kid with no reputation, being marked by Lee Hu meant people weren't exactly rooting for him.

Su Yu's chest heaved as he locked eyes with Lee Hu and declared, "You're the one who said it!"

Lee Hu gazed mockingly at Su Yu and taunted, "Exactly. If you beat me, all these treasures are yours!"

Su Yu remained silent, his legs coiled like springs. In a flash, he launched himself forward with explosive speed that caught even Lee Hu off guard.

"How is that possible? How can this guy be so fast?"

Lee Hu was on high alert, but it was already too late.

As Lee Hu braced for defense, Su Yu was already upon him, his fist rocketing out in an instant.

Thud!

Su Yu's punch landed squarely on Lee Hu's chest, sending him flying back like a kite severed from its string, crashing to the ground.

With the boost from the Blood Refining Pill, Su Yu's Blood Essence Value had soared to 0.4, and his strength had hit an impressive 400 kilograms.

Such a blow was not something even Lee Hu, with his 0.35 Blood Essence Value, could easily withstand.

In the next instant, the pharmacy fell deathly silent.

Lee Hu... had been defeated!

Some onlookers swallowed hard, stunned by the turn of events.

Su Yu calmly approached the attendant, taking more than ten Blood Essence Pills from his hand. He turned to Lee Hu with a smile and said graciously,

"Thanks for your generous donation!"

With that, he drifted out of the Hengcheng Grand Pharmacy.

As Su Yu departed, the pharmacy erupted into an uproar.

Lee Hu, struggling to his feet, watched Su Yu's retreating figure with venomous eyes.

"Su Yu, you better watch out! Tomorrow, you're going to pay for this!"

With those words, he tossed a bank card aside and stormed out of the pharmacy, fuming with anger.

A few onlookers snickered at the spectacle.

"This kid has the guts to strike the Lee Family's scion. Is he clueless that Lee Hu has an older brother who's already a Quasi Martial Cultivator?"

"Heh, well, that's none of our business."
