CFSMS -Chapter 234 Do Not Bully the Poor Young Man

Lin Hao felt Lu Wu’s killing intent. His pupils trembled as he shouted:

“You didn’t win fair and square!”

“If I weren’t injured earlier, how could you possibly beat me?”

“Just you wait! Once I get out, I’ll report you to the elders of the sect. I’ll tell them a thief has infiltrated our Rainbow Gate. Then you’ll be torn into pieces!”

He said a lot.

Lu Wu simply translated it in her mind in a simplified version:

“My dad is Wang Gang, you can’t kill me.”

Old cliché, but still very practical.

Lu Wu actually paused, looking at Lin Hao with interest as if she had discovered some rare specimen.

He was indeed a disciple of Rainbow Gate. After seeing people like Ye Chi who specialized in cautious survival tactics, Lu Wu hadn’t expected there to be someone so aggressively reckless.

As for this kind of “I can’t beat you so I’ll call my seniors” behavior, Lu Wu’s response was simple.

“Idiot man-baby!”

Simple verbal trash talk. Maximum enjoyment.

Without hesitation, a flash of sword light sent him out of the world.

The only pity was that this trial ground was strange—death here was not real death.

But judging from Lin Hao’s hateful, venomous gaze before dying, he didn’t seem to realize that.

……

Rainbow Gate, outside the secret realm.

A group of disciples who had just been teleported out were complaining bitterly.

They weren’t angry about failing the trial, nor about betrayal from someone they admired.

They were angry that they could no longer eat cotton candy.

The trial took place inside the secret realm, and now they couldn’t get back in.

“Damn it, could they at least go a little easier? At least let me have one more stick of candy!”

A burly man complained while clutching his waist, still feeling the lingering soreness of being stabbed through the kidneys.

Women… are terrifying.

Better to stay single forever.

“Heh, men really are innocent, huh? So clueless about everything.”

A woman sneered. It sounded like praise, but the sarcasm was obvious. Yet none of the surrounding people dared to refute her.

Especially the men, who all awkwardly averted their gaze.

No choice.

That woman had once been in the middle of an almost intimate moment with a male disciple. Just as emotions peaked, the man seized the opening and stabbed her in the back.

That experience was something she would never forget in her life.

From then on, when “playing with men,” she decided she would always carry two heart-protecting guards—one in front, one behind.

As they talked, the anger gradually faded.

The trial allowed disciples to fight each other, but they were still the future of Rainbow Gate, so they would not truly die.

This secret realm ensured they wouldn’t actually perish, which was why they could still joke and chat afterward.

“Hey, someone else is coming out.”

The entrance of the secret realm rippled.

A figure was thrown out—and landed with a spectacular butt-first skid in front of everyone.

Judging by the distance he slid and the red streaks left on the ground, everyone cast him a sympathetic glance.

“Brother… is your butt okay?”

Someone offered warm concern.

But to Lin Hao, whose butt was in agony and face twisted in pain, it sounded like mockery.

“Get lost!”

His face was dirty and disheveled, completely unlike his previous elegant appearance.

But in truth, Lin Hao was never truly elegant.

He had once read some strange storybook from nowhere, where the protagonists always wore white robes and acted cool everywhere.

He thought that looked awesome.

So, as a so-called genius disciple of Rainbow Gate, he believed he was destined to be the protagonist too.

Thus, he copied that book’s behavior and crafted an image for himself.

But today, that carefully constructed “image” had been shattered by Lu Wu.

Thinking of her, rage surged endlessly in his heart.

He hadn’t died!

“Hahahaha!”

He suddenly laughed loudly.

Since he was still alive, then the one who must have died… was her!

He struggled up from the ground. Fueled by vengeance, he took a few steps forward—then stumbled and nearly faceplanted.

“What are you looking at? Why aren’t you helping me up?”

Seeing Wang Xiaowu peeking from the crowd, Lin Hao sent a voice transmission angrily.

But Wang Xiaowu didn’t move.

After failing the trial and being violently crushed by Xiao Hong inside the secret realm, he already understood something:

In front of real experts, no “thigh” was more reliable than strengthening yourself.

And more importantly, Lin Hao—his so-called “thigh”—now looked like a flimsy joke.

In his eyes, Lin Hao had already fallen from “protagonist” to “cannon fodder.”

And cannon fodder sticking with cannon fodder never ends well.

So Wang Xiaowu made his decision.

Ignoring Lin Hao’s furious expression, he turned and left.

“Tiger落平阳被犬欺…”

Lin Hao gritted his teeth and muttered as he watched his subordinate walk away.

Just wait.

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of it—don’t bully a young man when he’s poor.

When he returns, everyone who humiliated him will pay a heavy price.

“Heh… hehehe!”

He laughed eerily again, full of renewed arrogance.

He stepped forward with grand confidence—but moved too aggressively and tore something unmentionable.

A sharp ripping sound echoed.

In unbearable pain, everyone watched as his face turned from flushed humiliation to a deathly pale.

His body swayed.

Tears in his eyes, Lin Hao looked up at the sky—and collapsed, unable to rise again.

“I will come back…”

He fell, raising dust—but no one helped him.

After all, he liked showing off in front of everyone.

Now, this was his “retribution.”

Meanwhile, Lu Wu—who never cared about worldly affairs and only focused on sleeping peacefully—had no idea she had just helped a man take a “crucial step in life,” from complete… to incomplete.

Unfortunately, there was no harem here for him to make use of that condition.

The moon hung on the willow branches, but no one shared an evening with Lu Wu.

Sunset glow stretched across the sea for thousands of miles as Lu Wu sat on the beach, resting her head in her hand and taking out her fishing rod.

These past two days, her income had basically depended on fishing.

Although it wasn’t yet stall time, it didn’t stop her from preparing early.

As usual—no bait, just casting the line.

The golden hook sank quickly into the sea.

The ripples it created were swallowed by the waves.

Lu Wu stared intently at the surface, sensing the rod carefully.

Wait… and wait… and wait…

Suddenly, the line tightened.

Lu Wu’s eyes lit up.

Got one!

Deep under the sea, a woman dressed in black gauze frowned as she looked at the hook in her palm.

There were only Rainbow Gate disciples in this secret realm. They should all be busy searching for Rainbow Stones—why would anyone be fishing here?

A trap? Or coincidence?

She couldn’t understand.

Her infiltration had been flawless—no one should have detected her.

After analyzing briefly, she decided to ignore it and let go of the hook.

But just as she was about to, she realized something shocking:

The hook was bound to her palm by a strange force.

A pulling force came from above—someone was reeling it in.

Bad.

Danger.
