“Big bro, big bro, you’re the best, with fists that conquer the whole world!”
“Big bro, big bro, you’re the brightest, talent rivaling Zhuge Liang!”
“Crazy for big bro, wild for big bro, smashing walls for big bro!”
“Die for big bro, live for big bro, holding it down for big bro is my show!!”
Amid the fervent cheers of his underlings, the man launched his attack first, his fist—as big as a sandbag—hurtling toward Su Mo. Su Mo remained utterly calm, only stepping back at the last moment when the man was just a step away.
That single step caused the man’s momentum to falter, his power dissipating by at least thirty percent.
Damn it, she played me!
Su Mo’s “delicate fist” shot out in response, neither dodging nor evading—she was going head-to-head with him.
BAM!
Both were forced back.
Su Mo retreated gracefully, only three steps.
The man, on the other hand, was sent flying, caught by his cheering squad.
His face instantly flushed red, as if set on fire.
“You used a trick just now. Doesn’t count. Let’s go again.”
“Sure. This time, I won’t.”
Su Mo smirked inwardly. Now that I’ve figured you out, why bother with tricks? Raw strength is enough.
BAM!
“I held back because I didn’t want to hurt you. Again.”
BAM!
“I was too excited, wasn’t ready. Again.”
BAM!
“Again!”
BAM!
“Again!”
……
BAM!
“I—I—I… Again!” The man gnashed his teeth, swearing he’d make her regret it this time.
BAM…
“Well? Convinced yet?”
“I…” The man fell silent for a moment before suddenly declaring, “I was the one attacking all this time. Now it’s your turn. If I still can’t beat you, I’ll admit defeat for good.”
Su Mo, still patient, waved for him to continue. “You’re harder to subdue than Meng Huo…”
This time, the man was dead serious, planting his stance firmly and bracing for defense.
He’d realized that pure strength wasn’t enough against Su Mo, so he decided to rely on technique instead—it wasn’t against the rules, after all.
When Su Mo charged, he nimbly sidestepped and countered with a backhand strike—only for Su Mo to effortlessly block it.
Losing the first move put him at a disadvantage for the rest. In less than ten exchanges, he was defeated, even taking a light hit to the face. It didn’t hurt much, but the humiliation stung.
“Convinced now?”
“President Ye, to have such strength at such a young age… I, Tang Hu, admit defeat. Do with me as you will.”
Seeing his grim, fearless expression, Su Mo suddenly laughed. “Relax, I’m not going to kill you.”
“You’re not?”
“Why would I? Didn’t we agree that if I won, you’d fulfill one condition for me?”
Tang Hu fell silent. “Name it. Preferably something like killing for you… but whatever it is, I’ll honor it!”
Instead of stating her demand immediately, Su Mo turned to the Qingyu Society members behind her. “That punch to his face was for all of you. Anyone who dares bully my Qingyu brothers will pay the price.”
The crowd fell silent—especially those who had once doubted her, even privately mocked her as a “nepo hire.”
Wang Er watched with a gratified smile.
Tang Hu clenched his jaw. “You’ve already beaten me. Just tell me what you want me to do—no need to humiliate me further!”
“Humiliate you? I’m just giving my brothers justice.” Su Mo met his gaze firmly. “And what I want you to do is—join us!”
“What?” Tang Hu stared at her in disbelief. “You can’t be serious. We’re enemies.”
“No deep grudges here. We’re hardly enemies. Besides, I’ve already settled the score for them—consider it even!”
Tang Hu fell into thought. Someone quickly brought a chair for Su Mo. “Have a seat.”
“Thanks.” She sat down, perfectly patient.
“Fine. A deal’s a deal. But what about my brothers here…?” Tang Hu voiced his concern.
“Your brothers are my brothers. What’s there to hesitate about? If they’re willing, Qingyu’s doors are always open.”
Tang Hu’s underlings murmured among themselves before unanimously deciding to follow him into the Qingyu Society.
Wang Er’s grin stretched ear to ear.
With a sigh, Tang Hu addressed his former followers. “From today on, I, Tang Hu, am no longer your boss. There’s only one… Big Sis Boss for me—President Ye!”
“But… what about the brothers still trapped with the Black Dragon Gang? Who’s going to save them?”
Su Mo’s eyes lit up. “What? There are more brothers held captive?”
Tang Hu sighed. “If not for the Black Dragon Gang, we wouldn’t have been reduced to this, wandering outside Xingcheng with so few left.”
“How strong is this Black Dragon Gang?”
“You’re not thinking of…” Tang Hu found it hard to believe.
“Don’t look at me like that. I already said—no one bullies my Qingyu brothers without paying a heavy price.”
Tang Hu’s expression turned odd.
They’re not even part of Qingyu yet… how are they already “your brothers”?
But in that moment, his opinion of Su Mo shifted entirely.
He’d initially thought she was just a strong, somewhat arrogant young woman. Now, he found her strangely compelling.
Not because of her looks—this charm was something intangible.
“My Black Tiger Gang and the Black Dragon Gang were once the two strongest supernatural factions in Xingcheng, each with one C-rank holding the fort. We got along fine since we were evenly matched. But then, out of nowhere, they gained two more C-ranks, and their numbers of E and F-ranks nearly doubled. They far surpassed us in strength.”
At this point, even without Tang Hu continuing, Su Mo could guess what happened next. But the sudden surge in the Black Dragon Gang’s power intrigued her, so she urged him on.
“We suspect someone’s backing them. There’s no way they could’ve gained so many supernaturals so quickly otherwise.”
“Any idea who?”
Tang Hu shook his head. “No clue.”
Su Mo pinched her chin in thought. For some reason, the words “Hundred Immortals Sect” flashed through her mind. It seemed like they were behind many recent incidents, pulling strings from the shadows.
Including the large-scale terrorist attack in Chuzhou a month ago—many in Beidou suspected the Hundred Immortals Sect’s involvement, though no evidence had surfaced.
Seeing Su Mo deep in thought, Tang Hu assumed she wouldn’t risk provoking the Black Dragon Gang for strangers. He’d already given up hope.
Yet, right then, Su Mo suddenly spoke.
“Alright. We’ll go rescue them tomorrow!”
Not just Tang Hu—even Wang Er and Ye Qingyi were stunned.
To put it bluntly… What makes you think you can take on the Black Dragon Gang?
