Chapter 387: Chapter 239: Principle

"A win is a win."

"Age doesn’t matter."

Hearing the other man’s words, Su Xing just shook his head faintly. He rarely lost, but he was never a sore loser.

Su Xing was well aware that his greatest weakness was his youth and the short time he had been on the Extraordinary Path. However, this was also his greatest strength—the very reason Li Longxuan valued him so highly.

"HAHAHAHA, I like your attitude."

The burly man burst into laughter, but inwardly, he grumbled, ’This kid is only Tier 6, yet fighting him was such a struggle. It seems I’ll need a while longer before I can leave the Treasure Pavilion. I’ll have to lay low for a bit more.’

Of course, Su Xing had no idea that his lack of explanation had just turned this Qin Mo into a master of laying low. By the time Qin Mo appeared before the public again, his power would be beyond anyone’s imagination.

"Shall we go back?"

Su Xing glanced at Qin Mo and asked.

"Of course. My own training isn’t over yet. And naturally, I’ll give you the item I promised."

Qin Mo said with a straight face.

"Brother Qin, can you tell me what this ’interesting little thing’ you mentioned actually is?"

Su Xing asked, his curiosity piqued.

Even though he would find out soon enough, what if the item was useless to him? That would be a huge loss. Therefore, Su Xing felt it was better to ask clearly beforehand.

"Fine."

"It’s actually a suppression bracelet."

Qin Mo said, a hint of amusement in his voice.

’A suppression bracelet...’

Hearing such a modern-sounding name, Su Xing was momentarily lost in thought. By this point, he was well aware that most powerful magic treasures came from ancient times.

Therefore, those items naturally carried a heavy sense of history. But this thing called a suppression bracelet sounded more like a product of modern technology.

"It sounds like a modern invention."

Su Xing asked doubtfully.

"HAHAHA, of course it does! I got the idea from the sci-fi movies you people make these days."

"But I added a little creative twist of my own. It’s definitely very useful for Martial Artists."

Qin Mo said with a smile.

"What exactly does it do?"

Su Xing asked.

"I can’t really tell you that. Anyway, the Dragon Gate Master’s condition was that you could choose any one of the magic treasures inside. You can go try it out for yourself. If you don’t like it, you can just pick another one."

"Of course, I think you’ll definitely like it."

Qin Mo said with a grin.

To be honest, Su Xing had no idea what Qin Mo was up to. But after their brief interaction, he really didn’t think the man was some deep, scheming person. As such, Su Xing’s curiosity about the so-called suppression bracelet grew.

’But... there’s something about the name ’suppression bracelet’ that feels a little off, doesn’t it?’ The thought flashed through Su Xing’s mind, but he simply cupped his hands at Qin Mo and said,

"Let’s go back then."

"Alright."

Qin Mo didn’t waste any words. Just as when they had arrived on the mountain peak, he vanished on the spot. Su Xing, more experienced than last time and now knowing the location of the Treasure Pavilion, quickly followed.

With their departure, the mountain peak returned to its former tranquility. The only difference was that its summit had been completely flattened, as if it had suddenly become dozens of meters shorter.

...

「Dragon Gate, Treasure Pavilion.」

Behind the golden energy barrier, Su Xing and Qin Mo appeared at the same time. Perhaps because he had entered once before, the barrier didn’t block Su Xing. As for Qin Mo, this place was his home, so such a thing would never happen to him.

"Let’s go."

"I’ll take you to have a look."

Qin Mo glanced at the building ahead and spoke to Su Xing beside him. Honestly, if anyone from Dragon Gate saw their ever-respectful Elder Qin showing such a friendly expression to someone, their jaws would drop.

This was because, to the people of Dragon Gate, Qin Mo had a title: Iron Fist Unrivaled. It meant that every person who came to the Treasure Pavilion would get a lesson from his iron fists.

If you could withstand a few of his blows, he might exchange a few words with you. If you couldn’t even take one punch, Qin Mo wouldn’t give you the time of day. Someone like Su Xing was a first, which was why Qin Mo had misjudged his own strength.

Of course, as a result, he had also earned Qin Mo’s friendliness.

"Okay."

Su Xing nodded and followed Qin Mo into the building. They went all the way up to the top floor before stopping. Su Xing had originally thought Qin Mo would simply take an item from one of the cabinets and hand it to him.

But to his surprise, Qin Mo walked over to a small corner. After fiddling with something for a good while, a shelf suddenly let out a piercing screech and began to slowly slide to the side.

Behind the shelf, a very conspicuous opening was revealed. Inside this opening sat a bracelet that emitted a faint, fluorescent glow.

He wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but even though the bracelet was just sitting there, the small alcove seemed to be under immense pressure, because faint cracks were visible on the surface beneath it.

"..."

Su Xing was silent for a moment as a thought struck him. ’Could it be... the reason this bracelet isn’t placed on the shelves with everything else is that it would make them collapse?’
