Su Lun used the eight-armed spider spear to speed across the sea for a while and stopped.
Then I watched the man in the flowered shirt flying over on the broken mast stamped his feet and landed on the sea from the sky.
There was a distance of tens of meters between the two of them and they could see their faces clearly. Su Lun confirmed again that he had never seen this guy before.
I looked at the attire. Although it was very casual, the workmanship and material of this fancy shirt were not cheap, and it was definitely not something ordinary people could afford. It looked a bit like the trend in the Luying Imperial Capital. On the head
The white hair can tell that this person is not young, but the strong and knotted muscles all over the body also give people a strong visual contrast. The energy and blood are strong, and the whole person is very energetic, domineering, majestic, and classy.
A bohemian feeling.
It's not just his appearance. There is a flash of heroism between this guy's brows from time to time. This kind of courage is definitely not something ordinary people can fake.
I guess he looks a bit like a battle-hardened veteran?
In terms of soul perception, this guy is very strong!
There was a hint of caution in Su Lun's eyes, and he had some guesses about the identity of the visitor.
And when he looked at the man in the flowered shirt, the other man was also looking at him.
However, this guy's eyes are not friendly.
From head to toe, his gaze was like looking at a thief who stole the cabbage from his garden.
This made Su Lun feel strange again. How could this old man show such an exaggerated and jealous attitude?
But they didn't take action as soon as they met, obviously they followed the rules of "duel".
Su Lun felt a little confused, but he also asked: "Who are you?"
As soon as he said this, he didn't expect the other party to be polite to him at all. Instead, he choked: "Haha, the skin is quite attractive. But I don't know if I can bear the beating."
Su Lun's eyes twitched slightly as he listened.
You can't hide the look in someone's eyes that wants to kill you.
Just as the stupid bird predicted, this man in the floral shirt was determined to beat him up.
But Su Lun felt even more confused. He asked again cautiously: "Sir, do we know each other?"
Ask clearly to avoid any misunderstanding of admitting the wrong person.
"do not know."
The man in the flowered shirt picked his nostrils and ignored the meaning of his words at all. He said directly: "Boy, prepare for a 'duel'. Don't worry, I won't kill you."
""
Su Lun didn't know where this inexplicable hostility came from, but he certainly didn't feel any killing intent.
The style of "duelling" has been popular in Luying for a long time. It is usually understood that neither party uses any foreign objects, such as breeding equipment and cursed objects.
Just use the palace sword, or just rely on your fists.
Fight until one side admits defeat.
This kind of competition is usually not easy to kill, and the winner can be determined, so nobles and gentlemen like to play this game very much.
But usually, this kind of duel is between love rivals.
Su Lun felt even more unreasonable.
But looking at the situation, the other party gave him no room to refuse.
A proper old gentleman in a flowery shirt, before starting the duel, he said: "Boy, I'm going to fight!"
Su Lun didn't know how to answer him, so with a twitch in the corner of his eye, he responded.
But as soon as he finished speaking, white waves several meters high suddenly exploded on the sea surface.
There was a "pop" sound in the air, and the mast that the man in the flowered shirt was standing on was suddenly broken into pieces by the huge force, and the whole man had already rushed over.
"What a speed!"
Su Lun's expression suddenly froze.
The old man looked out of control, and his strength was truly terrifying.
A distance of tens of meters can be reached in an instant.
Although the two of them hadn't touched each other yet, Su Lun already felt a mountain-like sense of oppression. The iron fist rushed forward, and a strange force pressed Su Lun's body to the point where he stiffened uncontrollably.
If this punch had been performed by an ordinary fifth-level professional, he would probably have been hit hard.
Unfortunately, Su Lun used [Teleport] the moment he saw him take action, leaving only a shadow on the spot.
This punch will naturally fail.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the guy blowing up the phantom with a punch, like a cannonball falling on the sea and bursting into white waves.
The beast-like figure suddenly turned around on the sea, and when I looked again, I saw that the man was already close to his face.
Su Lun recognized the movement technique of stopping and changing directions in the air, and exclaimed in his heart: "Ji Kongjing?"
He knows this movement skill himself, but compared with the guy in front of him, the gap shouldn't be too big.
When the man in the flowered shirt used it, it was almost the same as teleportation. These two consecutive displacements gave him no chance to breathe.
Su Lun teleported again and avoided the punch.
Another punch came, and he dodged it again
Another punch, another avoidance
Su Lun's void displacement ability is no longer what it used to be, and the casting gap of [teleportation] is almost negligible. No matter how fast the opponent is, it is difficult for his physical speed to match the teleportation speed.
With this skill, it will be difficult for him to defeat him.
This was also the reason why Su Lun dared to come to the meeting alone.
In these two breaths, the two fought for more than ten rounds.
The man in the flowery shirt was irritated by Su Lun's slippery tactics. He suddenly stopped and shouted angrily: "Hey, boy! A duel is a duel. If you keep acting like this, don't blame me for using it."
Your rank has bullied you!"
""
Su Lun was speechless after hearing this.
Now he didn't see that this guy was extremely capable in melee combat.
It's okay for me, a puppet master, to fight hand to hand with you, a reckless man.
Are you still allowed to stand and get beaten without using spatial means?
"snort!"
The man in the flowered shirt seemed to see through Su Lun's thoughts. He snorted coldly, and circles of ripples visible to the naked eye suddenly formed on his body surface.
As if some strange energy field had distorted the air, the ripples quickly covered a large area around him. Even the sea surface he was stepping on was dented by that stance, forming a hole with a diameter of more than ten meters.
A big pit. As soon as this ultimate move was released, a terrifying coercion emanated from this guy.
In an instant, his temperament changed from a ruthless brown bear to a terrifying ancient beast!
"field?"
Seeing this scene, Su Lun's pupils shrank suddenly: "Seventh-level professional!"
The number of professionals above level six is too small, and there are not enough samples to refer to, so it is not easy to judge the level through soul fluctuations.
Just now, he suspected that the old man might be higher than the sixth level. But since he didn't see him releasing the realm, he thought it might be the sixth level.
Unexpectedly, he is really a top professional!
Damn it!
You don’t follow martial ethics!
You can't afford it!
Su Lun complained in his heart. As soon as he saw this field coming out, he immediately knew that he couldn't beat it.
Originally, he should just move a long distance and escape, but after thinking about it for a moment, it seemed that this fight had to be fought.
Moreover, without giving him any room to think, the man in the flowery shirt suddenly rushed over.
This time, the speed was twice as fast as before.
Directional displacement within a short distance is even faster than Su Lun's teleportation!
Before anyone arrived, that terrifying coercion swept over him. It was domineering and level-level suppression from outside the realm.
Su Lun's scalp was numb from the pressure. Before he could form the seal, his body was suppressed by the strange force field. It was like a mountain weighing ten thousand kilograms on his chest. Even his breathing became stagnant, let alone raising his hand to pinch the sorcerer's seal.
In this field, ordinary fifth-level professionals probably have no room to fight back.
But how can Su Lun be an ordinary fifth level?
The moment he realized something was wrong, his eyes suddenly became bloodshot, and he shouted softly in his heart: "Flesh and Blood Alchemy·Five Solutions of Hormones Rampant!"
After pouring a large amount of hormones into his muscles and internal organs, surging strength poured into his limbs, allowing him to instantly break free from the oppressive feeling.
The moment he could raise his hand, Su Lun pinched it with two surgeon seals and said, "Mysterious Rune King Kong!"
Looking again, a layer of dark golden fish scale runes appeared on his skin.
After doing all this, the boxing wind has come over.
Although he knew he was going to be beaten, Su Lun did not use teleportation to escape this time. He chose to take the punch forcefully.
Because he has roughly guessed this guy's identity!
"Boom!"
The fist touched his cheek, and his face swayed in waves. Even if he tried his best to avoid it with a flying step, the punch hit his face firmly.
Su Lun flew out instantly, creating a series of white waves on the sea, and rolled for a long time before falling into the sea.
Probably because Su Lun didn't use teleportation to escape, the man in the flowered shirt got punched, and his mood instantly became great.
This guy didn't pursue him and closed his territory again, seemingly preparing for a fair "duel".
He watched Su Lun get punched by him, but he was fine at all. He saw some tricks and smacked his lips: "Oh~ this flesh and blood alchemy secret technique is a bit interesting, the [King Kong] secret technique is also good, and there is also a rune warlock."
The body-training method of Pulse? Tsk, tsk, I have learned all the life-saving methods."
Su Lun stepped on the water twice before standing firmly on the water. Then he looked at the person opposite with complicated eyes.
The old man in the flowered shirt noticed his air-stepping and seemed to have found something interesting. He narrowed his eyes and said: "[Ji·kong-step]? Tsk-tsk, this martial art was improved by me. Except for those boys from the Zhan Zhan Academy,
No one has ever learned it before. It’s quite complex, but it’s a pity that the martial arts doesn’t fit well with the body.”
""
Su Lun listened and did not deny it in his heart.
Martial arts are all stolen from others. Although the experience is enough, the coordination with the body is indeed far less good than what you can practice yourself.
Although this gap seems to make no difference to ordinary people, in the eyes of top professionals, the difference is huge.
The man in the flowered shirt seemed determined to beat him up. Without saying anything, he rushed over again.
Su Lun guessed the other party's identity, stopped teleporting, and faced him bravely.
No matter what the other party's purpose is, if they don't go all out, they will definitely get beaten.
The two figures were intertwined, and they were all punching to the flesh.
This battle was extremely fierce between the two.
How could Su Lun, a puppet master, be able to defeat a power professional who was already two levels higher?
He was beaten again and again, fell into the water again and again, and white waves exploded on the sea.
Embarrassed
Watching Su Lun being beaten, on the deck of the Evernight in the distance, everyone in the Dawn Regiment became extremely nervous.
Lolotta: "Why doesn't Mr. Sullen need to teleport?"
Karma: "The other party seems to be a seventh-level professional? I just saw him using the field."
Tani: "Huh, that old man is so despicable. A melee professional dueled with a puppet master!"
Yabok: "Teacher knows that close combat is not his strong point, so he still fights anyway."
All the young men were filled with indignation and wanted to go up and help.
On the deck, Senjo and Barrett also watched solemnly.
Qian Tiao's hands were always on the knife, always ready to help.
But as she looked at it, she also became confused, "You can't beat that kid. He obviously has a way around it, so why do you keep getting beaten? Are you really going to a duel?"
Barrett saw the move of the man in the flowered shirt and recognized the man's identity. The look on his face suddenly became strange and said: "Su Lun seemed to have recognized the identity of the gentleman, so he chose
Fighting head-on."
Senjo heard Barrett's strange tone and tilted his head and asked, "Do you know that person?"
Barrett sighed and said in a complicated tone: "Yes. That person was my instructor when I was studying at the Royal Academy."
As he spoke, he murmured with confusion on his face: "But why is he here? It shouldn't be. Now that he has inherited the position of Duke, why would he come to trouble Su Lun?"
Qianjou also showed a puzzled look: "Duke?"
Barrett nodded and said: "Lu Ying's top nobleman, 'Tulip Duke' Bartolo Lance. You probably don't need to worry. The instructor is a very upright person. But why did he come to trouble Su Lun?"
Woolen cloth?"
Qianjiao's expression suddenly became strange when she heard that. She seemed to have thought of something and said, "You put it this way, and I seem to understand why this person came here. Su Lun once said before that he met a big noble.
The young lady from the family has helped him a lot several times. The last time you rescued someone in the city-state of Moros, it was the information provided by them. But he doesn’t know whose girl it is.”
Barrett seemed to understand something when he heard Senjou's words, "The instructor does have several daughters. Calculating their ages, it should be the youngest daughter, Miss Ekaterina."
Qianjiao seemed to be very interested in this kind of gossip, and said with a little excitement: "Have you seen it?"
"No."
Barrett shook his head, but then said: "However, I have heard that Miss Ekaterina has a great reputation in the imperial capital. It is said that she is very beautiful and was praised by others when she was studying at the Royal Academy.
She is the 'most beautiful woman in the Royal Academy'. She is also smart, knowledgeable and has countless suitors."
Qian Jiao listened to the blazing fire of gossip in his eyes and said: "Hey~ So, it was Su Lun boy who molested the girl, and her father came to the door?"
Although she didn't know the specific dispute between the two, but with Su Lun's Neptune physique, the girl was probably at a disadvantage.
The case was solved.
This is what this inexplicable duel is all about.
My cabbage was eaten by a pig. The girl's parents came to see what the pig looked like.
With this statement, the atmosphere of watching the battle on the Yongye suddenly changed.
Everyone was no longer worried, but instead gathered around in a fun-loving mood, watching Su Lun being beaten, pointing and laughing from time to time.
They always watched Mr. Su Lun, whom they thought was an invincible monster, killing everyone.
The first time I saw him deflated,
It’s also super interesting!
Half an hour later.
The duel is over.
The two of them stood apart on the sea.
Su Lun received a heavy beating and looked at the man in the flowered shirt opposite with helpless eyes.
Even though he was already very strong, he still couldn't beat a seventh-level professional.
No matter whether you use all your strength or not, you can't defeat it.
On the other hand, Duke Bartolo seemed satisfied with beating Su Lun, and he did not forget to comment on Su Lun's performance, "The boy is not bad. I heard that you are also a puppet master? Tsk tsk, you have such physical fitness.
Not bad."
""
After hearing this, Su Lun made no response except expressing helplessness with his eyes.
But he didn't know that even though he just said a few words, the Grand Duke had never given such a high evaluation to any young man.
But he still felt baffled.
Although I guessed that this was Katyusha's elder, I also felt that the beating was somewhat unfair.
Su Lun didn't bother to ask in detail. Now that the result of the duel was known, he asked again: "Senior, why are you here this time?"
It's probably Katyusha's father, so it's reasonable to use the honorific title.
Regardless of some unknown reasons, the man in the flowered shirt left a good impression on Su Lun. At least the boldness was not engraved in his bones.
Duke Bartolo didn't mean to talk about private matters, and said directly: "Now the Luying royal family, the Marfa Empire, Vogt Raphael, Oleg, and other forces are looking for you. I can say responsibly,
If you don't find a strong enough force to protect you, you will encounter a steady stream of troubles no matter where you appear. Even in the West China Sea and the South China Sea, there are a large number of secret espionage forces of Lu Ying and major nobles. Even if you want to be a pirate, you will not be able to become a pirate."
Su Lun was not surprised when he heard this.
This is the situation that the Dawn Regiment is facing now. They have offended two empires and are actually enemies on all sides.
It is said that you can become a pirate, but in fact, wherever there are people gathering, there are spies infiltrated by the two empires.
Other pirates survive simply because they are not worth the high cost of catching them.
The Dawn Group now has Marfa's submarine, the treasures in the void ruins, Archduke Raphael's neuromechanical technology, and the secrets of the Luying royal family.
Each one is a huge amount of wealth that can make the top nobles red-eyed.
It may not be fully exposed yet, but as long as anyone knows a little bit of the news, they will definitely want to take a bite.
This man in the flowered shirt can call Grand Duke Raphael by his first name, so he is naturally a top noble.
The meaning of these words is also very obvious, he is the "powerful force" that can protect the Dawn Regiment.
But if you really want to protect them, you will cause a lot of trouble.
Regardless of whether it's a win-win or not, there's more or less Katyusha's face in it.
However, Su Lun naturally has some considerations.
They are no ordinary pirate group.
Hearing this, he pondered for a moment, and then responded: "Thank you, senior, for reminding me."
Bartolo raised his eyebrows when he heard that he didn't respond directly, as if he was slightly surprised that Su Lun rejected the offer of olive branch.
But people have also seen that as an old father, his bad breath has also come out.
When it came to this matter, he didn't say any more words and said: "Since you have your own considerations, then so be it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped on the waves and left without leaving the water.
As dashing as when he arrived.
Su Lun originally wanted to be polite and ask for some more news, but looking at the retreating figure, he could only give up.
Less than half a month later, the mighty encirclement and suppression operation also ceased.
The North Sea Fleet's encirclement and suppression campaign turned into a complete joke.
They mobilized heavy troops and destroyed several reorganized divisions, but not even a single person from the Dawn Regiment was captured.
If it were so easy to catch people at sea, the pirates would have been rounded up by the official navy long ago.
What's more, there is a gap between the warships.
The Dawn Regiment's "Eternal Night Emperor" sails faster than any sail warship in the North Sea, and it is impossible for them to be caught up in the vast and endless deserted sea.
What's more, after they met the Blue Knight Pirates and Su Lun received a beating, they became even more careful.
After grabbing enough supplies, they no longer continued to encroach on the North Sea Fleet, but instead wandered around the deserted sea.
The days that followed were also very stable.
Without the pirates surrounding them, everyone in the Dawn Group was still very busy.
Because he had previously brought detailed experimental data and a large amount of materials from the Void Secret Realm, Dr. Banks developed the first batch of [Void Gene Potions] in a very short period of time.
Su Lun has the Eye of Omniscient, and there is no need to wait for any clinical trials. If there is no problem, he can use it directly.
A large number of Dawn members, including Senjou, were injected with medicine, and almost all of them successfully obtained void affinity. The great alchemist "Herbert Hilbery" in the Dawn period left this important legacy to future generations. The ceremony brought the strength of the Dawn Group to a new level.
Those void colonization equipment and advanced materials also came in handy, and everyone was busy improving their strength.
This day.
There was light rain in the sky, and there were several meters of waves on the sea.
On the mast, Su Lun was meditating cross-legged.
Ever since he discovered that basking in the sun can help him better integrate [Issac's Alchemical Heart], he has been staying on the mast all day long.
The days are quite leisurely.
If you look closely, you can see bruises on Su Lun's face, which were left after the beating that day.
Because of this, I was often teased by Chijou.
Even after so many days, he still felt a slight pain occasionally.
It's not easy to recover from being beaten by a Haki attack. It's not a serious injury, it just hurts.
It's quite memorable.
Only then did Su Lun know that Katyusha was the little princess of the Duke of Reims.
The old nobles who have controlled the six northern provinces of Luying for hundreds of years do have that strength.
However, although Su Lun felt that he had a good relationship with Katyusha, he would not let the grand duke's father come to visit him personally.
He didn't understand, and he had nowhere to ask.
However, he contacted some of the things that happened before and guessed that the Lance family might have a big conspiracy. Shan Yin, the North Sea Fleet, the Luying Military Intelligence Agency, and Roman all had secrets. The strength of the Lance family hidden under the water is really terrifying. .
While meditating, my thoughts were wandering. Suddenly, I heard the ugly call of a black crow, like a scraper and a saw: "The ship is coming! The ship is coming!"
At the same time, the observer in the observation deck on the top of the mast also shouted down excitedly: "Mr. Sullen, the ship you mentioned flying the flag of the 'Beluga Chamber of Commerce' is here!"
When Su Lun heard this, he immediately became energetic.
