After Wu Yu followed the jailer out of the dark dungeon, he met the people the princess had sent to rescue him.
Just as I guessed, it was Jerry. Maper stood next to Jerry with her arms crossed, looking sullen. When Wu Yu met her gaze, her eyes darted away.
Wu Yu smiled and thanked Jerry, saying, "Thank you so much. By the way, how did you get the news?"
“When I visited your home, a lady named Violet told me you had been arrested, so I came here immediately,” Jerry replied.
Eugene isn't stupid after all; he knew to inform Violet before going to find his sister, otherwise he wouldn't have been released so quickly.
At this moment, Jerry lowered his voice and whispered a few words in Maper's ear. Maper glared at Jerry, and then reluctantly said to Wu Yu, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
Who wants to hear just an apology? Don't think that just because you're pretty, you can apologize without any cost. I've been through half a day in jail, and instead of showing any appreciation, you act like you've suffered some great injustice. I'm not some pushover. Just wait, I'll make sure you suffer mental anguish.
Wu Yu pondered for a moment, composed some harsh words, a wicked smile appeared on his lips, and he prepared to begin his villainous act.
"But don't think I'll just let you go from here. Even if you're a survivor like us, Her Highness is not someone you can touch. I have spies everywhere in the capital. If I find out that you've overstepped your bounds, even if it's against the code of chivalry, I will kill you on the spot."
Before Wu Yu could even speak, Maper threatened him with his life.
Ugh! This unreasonable world is so awful! Staring at this arrogant woman, Wu Yu was furious. If it weren't for the circumstances, Wu Yu would have shown her what it meant to be a keyboard warrior online.
"I promise to keep a distance of more than three meters from Her Highness from now on." It was precisely because he did not intend to keep his promise that Wu Yu dared to make such a bold guarantee.
"Hmph, at least you know what's good for you." Mapel nodded in satisfaction.
"Hey, I'm having this urge to hit someone, what should I do?" Wu Yu tried his best to avoid looking at Maper, and then said to Jerry, "Jerry, it's getting dark, let's get to my house as soon as possible."
Jerry shook his head and said, "Mr. Wu Yu, there's no better time than now. This is the patrol team's encampment, and there's a dedicated training ground here. We won't be afraid of not being able to unleash our full potential if we spar here."
"Are you in such a hurry to fight me?" Wu Yu actually wanted to politely refuse. There were still people outside worrying about his safety, and Wu Yu didn't want them to worry for too long. Sparring could be done at other times.
“I can’t wait.” Jerry nodded emphatically.
"Well, alright then, lead the way." Seeing Jerry's stubbornness, Wu Yu reluctantly agreed. If he refused now, he would definitely be bothered by him again tomorrow. Thinking that he had to accompany Violet to the entrance ceremony the day after tomorrow, Wu Yu felt that it was better to give himself some time to rest. He really didn't have enough energy.
As for Violet, who is still waiting for him at home, it's not a bad thing to make a woman anxious once in a while. Otherwise, she won't know how to cherish him as a tool. Besides, an opponent like Jerry, who can't withstand a single move, shouldn't waste too much of his time.
Jerry led Wu Yu to an open space. Although it was the patrol team's territory, they must have given prior notice, as there wasn't a single onlooker around. Only Maper stood in the middle, acting as the referee.
"Go all out, don't worry, I'll be watching over you, don't worry about losing control." Maper was confident that there wouldn't be any problems with this duel between kids.
"No need, I know what I'm doing." Wu Yu had no intention of accepting this woman's favor.
"Hmph, I was worried that Xiao Jieli might hurt you if he couldn't control himself. Do you still think this kid is the same as he was in the desolate city? He's now a genius that amazes the entire capital. He reached the second level in just three months. Even with the resources that Her Highness the Princess has poured into him, this talent is enough to make people tremble."
"Oh! Let's give it a try then." Wu Yu replied calmly. Hearing about Jerry's true strength, Wu Yu was now completely relieved.
Even he, a cultivation failure, had become a first-level transcendent. It would be a bit unreasonable if Jerry, who was in the golden period of cultivation, didn't improve faster than him. In terms of actual combat strength, Wu Yu admitted that he was no match for him, but sorry, he had a cheat code.
Back when he was a mortal, he had a bit of a hard time killing Benson, but now that he possesses first-tier superhuman power, dealing with a second-tier superhuman is as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.
“Mr. Wu Yu, I apologize.” Jerry said, no longer being polite. He drew his sword and did not rush forward, but instead cautiously observed Wu Yu’s every move.
Calm and composed, he's definitely not the naive young man he used to be, Wu Yu thought to himself with admiration.
At the same time, with a wave of his hand, the sword box appeared on the ground. Wu Yu placed his hand on the hilt of the sword, not in a hurry to draw it. In any case, he could easily draw the sword and defend himself even if he was in a handstand position. He didn't want to hold the sword in his hand so early, as it would be quite tiring.
Wu Yu didn't plan to make a direct move. Killing Jerry in one move would be too offensive; he wanted to save face for him.
