Chapter Fifty-Seven: A Brief Examination

  "Hey kiddo! What's on your mind?" Wu Zongyue turned his head around, looking at Wu Yeru who was sitting there with an air of nonchalance, and asked.

  "This goes without saying, of course I'll go with you. How can one know their own level if they haven't been tested in actual combat? Moreover, only through actual combat can one continuously hone their martial skills and gain new insights." Wu Ye Yu looked at the old man in front of him who was asking obvious questions and rolled his eyes as he replied.

  After hearing the young man's words, Wu Zongyue felt a sense of relief in his heart and secretly thought that this young man was on the right path. At such a young age, he already knew this principle, no wonder he could enter the prenatal realm. His future prospects are boundless, ah, my Wu family finally has a day to rise again, hmm, worthy of being my son.

  "That's true, but no matter what, you're only ten years old now, don't you have any fear?" Wu Zongyue held the tea water, gently stirring it twice, and then looked at Wu Yeyu with a slanted gaze.

  "Haven't you seen the young lady of the Wen family? Although she came with a team this time, she didn't follow them into the demon beast forest. After all, it's because she doesn't have much experience. Moreover, the one protecting her is a mighty Sword Emperor-level expert, your old man can't even catch up with him even if he tries his best." Wu Zongyue raised an eyebrow and lightly swallowed a mouthful of tea water, then leaned back in his seat with narrowed eyes. From Wu Yeru's perspective, this posture was really asking for a beating...

  "Experience, isn't it all accumulated bit by bit? If you don't take advantage of your youth and save up a bit, when the time comes to use it, won't everything be too late?" After finishing speaking, Wu Ye Yu also learned from Wu Zong Yue, picked up the tea cup, lightly took a sip, and then half-closed his eyes, comfortably leaning back against the chair back, gazing at the black line on Wu Zong Yue's forehead.

  "Besides, isn't there still your personal protection? Although the old master of the Wen family is a high-ranking swordsman, following Xue Yue's servant girl for personal protection, he didn't intervene in the Wen family's trials. It was only because they encountered a high-level demon beast that they rushed over to rescue them. At that time, the strongest person among the Wen family members who went to the Demon Beast Forest was probably Miss Wen Yuexian, and now thinking about it, her strength is at most that of a high-ranking sword general." Wu Yeru paused for a moment, then continued with an air of pretentiousness after taking a sip of tea.

  "And this time, our Wu family is led by you, the Sword King, and accompanied by our veteran guards who have been dealing with the demonic beasts in the forest for years. In terms of safety and experience, they are far superior to those young masters from the Wen family. So, I think this trip is a rare opportunity for me, don't you agree?"

  A sentence learned from a certain book was used by Wu Ye Yu, which made Wu Zong Yue stunned for a moment, but roughly understood the meaning of his son. Old Wu suddenly felt that this kid is not bad, has some meaning, and the analysis is also reasonable, but it's unknown what it will be like when actually operated.

  In the end, it's still a question of Wu Ye Yu's own combat power. Although I've seen him break through to the advanced swordsmanship realm, that breakthrough was too accidental and he skipped over a major boundary all at once. Even though this kid is already in the innate realm, it's really hard to judge what's going on. Moreover, having a high cultivation level doesn't necessarily mean having high combat power. Not to mention the entire continent, but even within our own human realm, there are countless cases of people with higher cultivation being killed by those with lower cultivation every year. It's all because of mistakes in actual combat and technique application, or simply due to differences in experience.

  "Besides, it's not easy for the Wu family to produce a genius, is it? If I were to let him fall because of my own carelessness, wouldn't that be a huge loss? Even if there's a way to save him later and he doesn't die, what if those ferocious beasts just nip at him lightly and leave him with a lifelong disability..."

  Wu Zongyue thought about it more and more, feeling that it was indeed the case. "No way! No matter what, I have to try out this kid's martial arts skills. If nothing else, at least when the time comes, I'll need to have some self-defense capabilities. Even if I'm the one doing the rescuing, it'll take some time."

  "Hey! What's on your mind, your facial expression keeps changing. You can go act in a Sichuan opera! Can you or can't you follow along? Say something!"

  Wu Yeru was very satisfied with his own analysis of that sentence, thinking to himself that this reason should be sufficient. However, after he finished speaking, he waited for a long time but didn't get an answer. So he simply opened his mouth and asked, "Let me tell you, even if you don't agree with me following you together, I will still wait until you leave and then quietly follow behind you. I don't believe it, without you, I won't be able to enter the demon beast forest anyway."

  "Hey! What's with the way you're talking?! I'm your father, and I'm thinking about it right now. If something really happens to you, you'll be in for a world of trouble! You think the Beast Forest is a place to fool around? If something goes wrong, it'll be a lifelong problem! Do you understand?" Wu Zongyue shot back angrily.

  "Hey, don't try to scare me! Do you think I'm afraid of anything? Let me tell you, if you don't take me with you next time, I'll really go by myself!" Wu Yeyu slammed the teacup on the table beside him and glared at the big black dog lying on the steps, which let out a huge yawn.

  "Hah! Alright, young man~ you think you're capable now, huh? You think your wings are hard enough to go against me? Today, if I don't beat you until your butt is blooming with flowers, you won't know who you're surnamed after! And you still dare to call yourself 'grandpa' in front of me?! Wu Zongyue was amused by the ignorant young man in front of him and rolled up his sleeves, ready to take action."

  "I'm like this, what's it to you? Come and hit me if you dare! Hehe, I'm right here, come on! " Wu Yeyu said with his hands on his hips, speaking defiantly.

  "Hey! You really think I don't dare to hit you?" Wu Zongyue stretched out his hand and pointed at the tip of Wu Yeyu's nose, saying with a tilted head and a mischievous expression.

  "Come on! I'm right here, you've got skills? Come on then!" Wu Yeyu didn't know what he had done wrong at this time, but he was already facing off against the person in front of him. For no reason, he just wanted to provoke this guy, even if it meant that he would end up losing out in the end. But as a man, no matter how things turned out, he couldn't lose face.

  "Alright! You really are something! I've lived this long and you're the first one to dare try this with me, alright? Now it's too late for regrets!"

  "Regret? Me? I've never regretted anything! If you have what it takes, come on!"

  "Wait! You'll get yours, let's see if your mouth is still that hard later!"

  "Come on! What's taking you so long?!"

  "Take it!"

  Wu Zongyue's legs exerted force, and in an instant, he appeared in front of Wu Yeru. One hand shot out with the speed of a thousand jun, grabbing towards Wu Yeru's shoulder, wanting to capture this little guy in one swift motion. But actually, Wu Zongyue only used 10% of his strength. The key was that he wanted to take this opportunity to test his son's adaptability. If he really wanted to teach this little guy a lesson, there would be plenty of opportunities later on.

  When Wu Zongyue made a move, Wu Yeru, who had been pretending to be careless on the surface, was actually guarding against the person in front of him. Almost as soon as Wu Zongyue approached, Wu Yeru's foot kicked out, his body twisted and dodged to one side, then followed up with a sweeping kick aimed at Wu Zongyue's lower abdomen.

  However, Wu Zongyue was not so easy to kick away. He turned his hand and grabbed towards the leg that Wu Yeyu had kicked, thinking to himself, "Hmph! Initial judgment, reaction is still okay, but don't think you can dodge like this."

  Wu Ye Yu also discovered the intention of Cheap Old Man, and immediately turned his leg to kick Wu Zong Yue's claw. At this time, it can be seen that the effect of Wu Ye Yu and Wen Xi Yue practicing basic muscle together has come out, and in the subtle control, it has reached a very high level, not only can change direction at the end of the move, but also increase the force of changing moves.

  At this moment, Wu Ye Yu's leg kicked towards Wu Zong Yue's head at a faster speed than before, and the air even made a loud cracking sound, swift and accurate!

  "Huh!" Wu Zongyue exclaimed in surprise, but then a smile played on his lips as he used one hand to deflect the kick that Wu Yeru had launched at him, turning her attack into nothing.

  Wu Ye Yu felt that Wu Zong Yue's hand had a soft and fluffy force, as if he was kicking on cotton, and his body involuntarily lost its balance due to the loss of strength in his legs. His entire body was forced to soar into the air, and he did a big flip in mid-air.

  Seeing his own son lose balance, Wu Zongyue felt confident of victory and burst out laughing, "Haha~ How? With just this little skill you dare to provoke me? Watch me capture you!" Then another claw stretched out, wanting to capture him, lest he fall because of loss of strength.

  But Wu Ye Yu, in the midst of the void, with a single flick of his wrist, regained control over his own balance. Due to the rotation of his body, he also generated new force. His entire body contracted before his legs rapidly kicked out, kicking away Wu Zong Yue's outstretched hand. Then, using the rebounding force, he shot himself towards a distant location, executing a forward somersault and landing lightly on the ground.

  "Hey, young man, not bad! What was that move just now?" Wu Zongyue's hand had been kicked by his son, but he didn't mind at all. At most, it was just a bit dirty from the sole of his foot. However, what he cared about most was the instant when this young man swung his arm in mid-air, to be honest, it was great! Used just right.

  "Hmph! Since I've decided to follow you into the Demon Beast Forest, of course I have a few tricks up my sleeve~ What's there to be so shocked about!" Wu Ye Yu felt a slight sense of pride in his heart, although it was clear that he wouldn't be able to gain an advantage over his old man, being able to hold his own without being caught also counted for something.

  "How's this? I'm qualified to follow you into the Demon Beast Forest now, right?"

  "Well, with your skills just now, you barely qualify, but let's make one thing clear: when the time comes, everything will be under my command. Don't go off on your own, or you'll lose your life and it won't be anyone else's fault."

  Wu Zongyue was very satisfied with his son's performance, although he didn't use much strength at first. It seems that there is still a lack of application in this aspect, but in terms of physical coordination and adaptability, it is top-notch. After all, he is just a ten-year-old child, and there will be plenty of time to hone his skills later on.

  "Alright, that's good. If there's nothing else, I'll be off then~" Wu Ye Yu got what he wanted and didn't plan on staying any longer either. He blew a whistle at the big black dog with satisfaction, turned around and left.

  "Wait a minute! I still have something to say, tsk tsk! Young people these days are just so reckless!"
