Chapter 14: I’ll Dig the Pit, You Jump

Wang Doushan squinted his beady eyes, his face tightening up. “They here for you?”

Su Chen smiled. “Should be.”

The two of them glanced at each other.

Wang Doushan asked in a low voice, “Who is it?”

Su Chen tilted his head in thought. “Either Pan Hao or Bai Yihong.”

“Bai Yihong?” Wang Doushan asked in surprise.

He could understand why Pan Hao was after Su Chen, but why would Bai Yihong also be after him?

Su Chen roughly explained what happened the day before.

Wang Doushan sighed. “You’re always holed up in your room alone. The one time you do decide to come out, you offend someone? You have quite a high success rate.”

“Perhaps it’s because I have an innately disdainful attitude.” Su Chen paid their tab and was preparing to leave.

“You’re just going to leave? Are you not going to fight them?” the fatty said, his fighting spirit burning.

“Our opponents are coming prepared. It would be unwise to fight them now.” Su Chen made a beeline for the exit of the bar.

Wang Doushan followed closely behind him. “You said our opponents are just a bunch of weaklings. If you don’t teach them a lesson now, won’t everything you just said be for nothing?”

Su Chen was amused. “You seem quite anxious to throw the world into chaos.”

Wang Doushan giggled. “I just want to see how you’ll deal with these weaklings.”

“……” Su Chen stopped in place, pondered for a moment, then returned to the bar.

Wang Doushan thought Su Chen was preparing to face his opponents, but Su Chen walked through the bar and into the kitchen.

An instant later, he returned, an unidentifiable item covered in black cloth in his hand.

Wang Doushan asked curiously, “What is that?”

“Want to know?” Su Chen gestured for Wang Doushan to get a closer look, then lifted back the black cloth. A wave of stench instantly rushed out, snaking its way into Wang Doushan’s nose, nearly causing him to vomit.

It was a large bucket of hogwash.

Wang Doushan was almost knocked out by the smell. “What the hell! Why- what are you planning on doing with that?”

“Just as you wanted. I’m going to be teaching those weaklings a lesson.” Su Chen covered the bucket of hogwash back up.

Wang Doushan stared at him blankly before growing more animated. “You want to……”

Su Chen gave Wang Doushan a meaningful glance, and evil grins formed on their faces. They quickly left the wine bar.

Wang Doushan complained the entire time. “Goddamnit, this stinks. Why don’t you put it in your Origin Ring?”

“If I do that, I won’t ever be able to use my ring again. Hold on, we’re almost there.” Su Chen and Wang Doushan quickly arrived in a small, unpopulated alleyway. He placed the bucket on the alley’s wall and tied a thin piece of string to it. He wrapped the string a few times around a rock he had found and placed it on the ground, forming a simple yet effective trap.

After finishing up the preparations, Su Chen clapped his hands and said, “That’s it. As long as someone comes here, the trap will activate and they’ll be washed in hogwash. There’s no Origin Formation or Origin Energy involved, so even if the opponents use some kind of detection Origin Skill, they have no way of discovering it.”

Although it was simple, it was extremely effective, especially against Origin Qi Scholars.

Origin Qi Scholars used Origin Skills to detect the presence of Origin Energy, but this trap had none. All of their standard techniques were rendered completely useless.

Wang Doushan was ecstatic. “Holy shit, this trap is savage. I’ll keep it in mind for next time.”

“Did you think that was all?” Su Chen laughed evilly.

“There’s more?” Wang Doushan almost passed out.

“Follow me and you’ll see.”

Su Chen and Wang Doushan ran through the alleyway, this time running towards a small river.
