Chapter Seventeen: Simple and Brutal

  Su Yifan came to this secret base alone for the first time, only to find that the entrance of the community was very lively on both sides. There was a huge California beef noodle shop emitting waves of fragrance, and next to the California beef noodles was a small hotel called "California Hotel".

  The aroma of beef noodles made Su Yifan, who hadn't eaten lunch, feel a pang of hunger. It was time to eat, but he had to undergo devilish training instead - what kind of treatment was this?

  Su Yifan was very curious as to why Oola would look for him on Monday afternoon. According to their agreement, weren't they supposed to meet at the secret base only on weekends?

  Su Yifan walked into the neighborhood with a question and was stopped by the security guard at the entrance.

  "Register for visit." The security guard pointed impatiently at the sign at the entrance of the residential area.

  Su Yifan was stunned for a moment, he had always been riding in Su Xiaqing's car before, how could this security guard not have seen him?

  "I live here." Su Yifan put his hand into his pocket to dig out the door key and waved it in front of the security guard.

  The security guard had a sense of self-awareness as a high-end residential area security guard, with a completely official tone: "Resident ID."

  "I don't have it." Su Yifan glanced at the waterfall and artificial hill that was still flowing with water, wondering how much money it would take to maintain this scene even in winter. "Can't you just go with me on a trip to prove it?"

  The security guard looked up and down at the ordinary-looking young man, who didn't seem like a resident here no matter how he looked.

  "Let your family member come and pick you up." The security guard finally decided to mind his own business, without being sarcastic to Su Yifan, but instead changed his tone of speaking.

  Su Yifan noticed the security guard's sizing-up gaze and felt a moment of speechlessness. Wearing cheap clothes means you can't afford to live in Shanshuiju, what kind of weird theory is this?

  Recalling what Chen Xin said to her that day, Su Yifan felt that this world was indeed full of materialistic distortions and prejudices.

  "I'm indeed living here." Su Yifan stared at the security guard, his tone becoming more serious than before, "I don't need to prove anything to you."

  The security guard wanted to say something else, but a person walked out of the residential area and waved the property certificate in his hand at the security guard: "Let him in."

  Oula's figure was the focus of men's attention wherever she went, but those cold eyes were too hurtful for men to bear. The security guard took a glance at Oula's chest and then looked at the property certificate again before quickly retreating back into his room.

  Su Yifan didn't bother arguing with the security guard either and followed Oola to his own secret base.

  Ou La held a large luggage bag in her left hand, staring straight ahead as she waited for Su Yifan to open the door. After entering the house with the luggage, she asked: "Have you increased your exercise intensity?"

  Su Yifan's hand shook and the key almost fell to the ground.

  "How did you know?"

  Ou La didn't respond to Su Yi Fan, pointing at the carpet in the center of the living room: "Stand over there."

  After Su Yifan finished speaking, Orla didn't take off her shoes and stood in front of him wearing her long boots, narrowing her eyes to stare at the young man.

  Su Yifan responded to Ora's gaze without hesitation, although he knew that he might not even be comparable to one of Ora's hands, he still tried his best to maintain the self-respect of a young man.

  After staring for over ten seconds, Oola suddenly withdrew her gaze and asked coldly: "Is there something you want to ask me?"

  Ou La's words hit Su Yifan's heart.

  Su Yifan thought for a moment and told Oola the truth: "Yes... I originally wanted to ask for your advice over the weekend."

  "Why?"

  It's really hard to put into words, Su Yifan could only try to explain briefly: "You're right, following traffic rules is useless, others will still hit you with their car."

  Ou La looked at Su Yifan calmly: "What else?"

  "Protecting oneself is an important matter, no matter when." Su Yifan said sincerely, this was his simple conclusion after thinking hard from yesterday to today, "So I want to ask you..."

  Ou La took a step forward and stared at Su Yifan, asking: "What did you ask me?"

  Su Yifan replied helplessly: "I had a conflict with a classmate, I think he might find someone to deal with me. But I can't always be protected by others, I want to learn how to protect myself."

  Oola nodded: "This is part of my duty, as long as you have a request, I won't refuse you."

  Su Yifan was somewhat curious: "How did you know I wanted to find you?"

  Ouya didn't explain and Su Yifan knew that she didn't want to answer this question, so she tactfully stopped asking.

  Even if it was just a brief contact, Su Yifan somewhat understood Oola's personality.

  "Let me ask you again, what do you want to learn?" Oola didn't give Su Yifan any chance to catch his breath, and loudly asked.

  Su Yifan didn't hesitate this time and replied loudly: "I want to learn how to protect myself... and counterattack against the enemy."

  Ou La sneered: "You really are quite literary, you've been spoiled by that little girl."

  Su Yifan was slightly sweating, and Oola actually knew about Cheng Shui's situation too. This feeling was a bit subtle, as if he had already been seen through by many people.

  "Physical strength is the foundation of everything." Euler didn't let Su Yifan think too much, and immediately began to teach, "On this basis, if you want to learn how to knock down others, you must be more familiar with the human body."

  Su Yifan stood up straight and listened attentively.

  "Striking the enemy's weakness is the best way to make them fall," Eula continued, "Fighting isn't a game, there are no rules, everything is about knocking down your opponent..."

  Su Yifan's face was covered in sweat as Oola's words had exceeded his understanding of defeating an enemy. According to Oola, hitting a man's testicles and kicking a woman's breasts were the most effective methods.

  Su Yifan thought that if he followed Oola's methods to fight with others, he would probably be caught and sent away for a few years without even being interrogated after knocking down his opponent.

  After Ora finished talking about the weaknesses of the human body and how to effectively strike them, Su Yifan was just about to interject when Ora suddenly changed the subject: "The biggest obstacle for ordinary people in fighting is not their physical strength, but rather their psychological state. Many people are not unable to fight, they're just afraid to fight."

  This principle is actually understood by everyone, but Su Yifan felt a pang in his heart. Hasn't he always been weak-willed and yielded to all kinds of things?

  "The education you received, your environment, the behavior of people around you, all make you feel that fighting is not so justifiable. Oula's words cut into Suyi Fan's heart like a knife, 'So you become a weakling, being bullied by others. Only those who would rather hurt others than themselves can face any situation and dare to take action directly.'"

  "It's only after getting angry that one dares to fight with others, this is a sign of weakness."

  Su Yifan felt extremely ashamed upon hearing this, although he thought Oola's words were slightly biased, he could still find his own shadow in those descriptions.

  "So what you need to learn first is to control your emotions and break free from emotional bondage."

  Ou La finished speaking and stared coldly at Su Yi Fan.

  Su Yifan did not hesitate this time, he bowed deeply towards Oulan.

  "Thank you, I need your guidance."

  Oola looked at this slender and quiet young man, and a faint smile finally appeared on his icy face.

  "Your foundation is too poor and time is limited. Let's start with how to stand firm without being knocked down by others."

  Su Yifan thought about Oola's words for a moment, then her face changed greatly.

  Ou La showed Su Yifan a slightly open # double-leg standing posture with his legs apart and his waist pulled in: "Stand like this."

  After Su Yifan honestly did as he was told, Oola immediately pushed him in the chest with a very impolite movement, the action and posture were just like those of street boys fighting.

  Su Yifan only felt an unstoppable massive force coming from his chest, and he almost had no chance to react before falling to the ground.

  "Get up, come on."

  Ora's concise command left Su Yifan no time to regret, he got up and stood firm again with Ora's self-taught pace, indicating with his eyes that he was ready.

  Ou La didn't know whether it was approval or what, and slightly nodded her head, then pushed Su Yifan again.

  Su Yifan still didn't hesitate to sit down on the ground with a thud, he felt that he couldn't resist that force at all.

  Is Euler's body really hiding a monster?

  "Get up, come on!"

  Su Yifan gritted his teeth and got up again, standing firm once more.

  Ou La did not push Su Yi Fan this time, she slapped her palm on Su Yi Fan's chest.

  The power of this palm was something Su Yifan couldn't describe, but at the moment he was struck in the Auroral Snap, Su Yifan felt like he was almost going to die. The air in his chest seemed to have been sucked out instantly, and he fell backwards onto the thick carpet, taking half a day to catch his breath again.

  When he stood up again, the dizziness was still there. Su Yifan saw Oola's expressionless face and that stubbornness in his heart was stirred up again.

  "Come on."

  Ou La took a step forward, his arm shot out from behind to in front like a phantom, and his fist struck Su Yifan's chest.

  Su Yifan fell down again and quickly got up.

  …………

  ………

  About half an hour later, Su Yifan, who had washed his face again, walked out of the neighborhood with Oola side by side. The hot-bodied beauty got straight into her own car and didn't even offer to give Su Yifan a ride.

  After being abused by Ora for more than half an hour, Su Yifan still couldn't stand firm under her single blow. However, Ora felt that Su Yifan's ability to withstand the impact was already quite good and didn't intend to continue.

  Su Yifan, who was starving, directly entered the beef noodle shop and ordered a large portion of beef noodles before letting out a gentle sigh. Oola's training was too simple and crude, but it also had a very obvious effect. Su Yifan clearly felt that later on, Oola's power would no longer produce that kind of desperate crushing feeling on him, he thought to himself that he really was getting stronger bit by bit.

  After eating, Su Yifan took a bus back to school and received a text message from Su Xiaqing on the way.

  "Don't work so hard."

  Su Yifan remembered Su Xiaqing's concern for him, feeling both warmth and shame, and typed back: "Thank you sister, I'll work hard not to disappoint you."

  Su Xiaoqing smiled and said: "Study hard in class, call me after school tonight."

  After getting off the bus, Su Yifan felt that the atmosphere at the school gate was a bit off.

  Every day at this time, a large number of students would gather at the school gate, which is also a normal scene that can be seen at every school gate. Today, there seem to be fewer people at the school gate than usual, and it's eerily quiet. Su Yifan could still sense that the students lingering around the school gate had expressions of gossip and fear on their faces.

  Su Yifan was just about to find someone to ask what was going on, when a loud voice next to him shouted: "Brother, it's this little brat."

  Su Yifan was immediately surrounded by a group of people.
