Chapter 14: Kung Fu Young Hero

Su Xin did not take the matter of subduing a thug to heart.

But what he did not know was that a passerby had filmed the entire process of him subduing the man in black and posted it on a short-video software with massive traffic.

Coupled with reports from local media, the entire incident went viral across the internet the next day, and even spread to a certain extent on the overseas internet.

After all, Long Country is recognized as the country with the best public security in the world, bar none.

Yet now, in Jianghai City, one of the four super first-tier cities of Long Country, and on the busiest street in the city center, a knife-wielding robbery had occurred in broad daylight.

The case itself was not particularly serious, but once reported, it quickly stirred up great heat.

Furthermore, the movements of the youth in the video when subduing his opponent were incomparably fluid, just like the martial arts in movies; not only were the movements beautiful, but they were also crisp and neat, giving people a sense of beauty like flowing clouds and moving water, which made many Long Country people exclaim—

"Kung Fu, it really exists!"

"This youth's build is a bit thin, and he isn't tall, yet he could subdue a knife-wielding big man in a single encounter; his movements were truly too fast."

"This fully illustrates the martial Dao principle that under heaven, all martial arts can be broken, except for speed."

After the video went viral, it attracted the attention of more and more people, and some big influencers in the combat field analyzed the video and spoke solemnly:

"Judging from the video, this youth's movements are very fast. Whether it is movement speed, strike speed, or reaction speed, he completely crushes his opponent. This is the fundamental reason he was able to subdue his opponent instantly."

"But besides the factor of speed, this youth's movements are also very extraordinary. They contain techniques from Jeet Kune Do, and one can also see the shadows of Karate and Muay Thai. Furthermore, he seems to be proficient in Grappling techniques; he should have integrated a variety of modern combat techniques into one."

"In short, speaking purely of combat techniques, this youth is definitely at a master level, but unfortunately, his build is average and his strength shouldn't be very high. If he were to enter a heavyweight combat ring, he would likely be defeated before long."

This influencer's words drew rebuttals, and even rebukes, from many netizens.

"Stop spouting nonsense there. This is not modern combat technique at all, but ancient Long Country martial arts, traditional Long Country Kung Fu, because only Long Country Kung Fu has such high aesthetic value, just like the Kung Fu Emperor Li Yingjie, possessing both elegance and practicality."

"That's right, have you ever seen any modern combat style with such elegant movements?"

"I said long ago that Long Country Kung Fu really exists; it's just that the heritage is too scarce, and it requires polishing from a young age, making it difficult to carry forward."

"True experts hide in the city and do not easily show their faces."

The disputes on the internet made Su Xin go viral even further, and the vast majority of people no longer focused on the robbery case itself, but instead placed their focus on the mysterious Su Xin.

But due to the distance and angle of the video recording, it was impossible to see Su Xin's face clearly in the footage, so everyone was unable to find out Su Xin's identity.

Some enthusiastic netizens simply gave the Kung Fu youth in the video a nickname that was slightly archaic, and could even be called 'chuunibyou'—

Kung Fu Young Hero.

Su Xin's act of stepping in to help when seeing an injustice truly deserved the title of 'hero', and coupled with his flowing, Kung Fu expert-like fighting movements, this nickname was immediately recognized by numerous netizens.

However, these were matters for later.

Su Xin was completely unaware of the video going viral, because early the next morning, he headed to the main venue of the Programming Competition—Jianghai Jiaotong University.

Jianghai Jiaotong University is one of the five top universities in Long Country, and the annual Qianlong Cup National High School Programming Competition is held in rotation among the five top universities.

This year, it was Jianghai Jiaotong University's turn.

At the school gate, there was a Programming Competition reception desk, where some student volunteers wearing armbands were enthusiastically welcoming the contestants one by one, verifying their identity information, and leading everyone to the competition venue.

Su Xin and Zhang Chunhua walked toward the reception desk, and a beautiful, youthful girl immediately came up to them.

"Hello, junior student. I am Wei Qian, the volunteer in charge of reception. May I ask if you are here to participate in the Qianlong Cup Programming Competition?"

Su Xin smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is my entry voucher and my ID card."

He showed the verification text message on his phone and his ID card. After Wei Qian took a look, she immediately picked up the list in her hand to check.

Soon, Wei Qian smiled and said:

"Alright, Junior Su Xin, and ma'am, please come with me. The competition venue is in the gymnasium, and I will take you there now."

The three of them walked into the campus.

Along the way, Wei Qian enthusiastically introduced the general situation of Jianghai Jiaotong University, with a rather proud emotion in it, as if being able to enter Jianghai Jiaotong University was a great honor.

Zhang Chunhua looked left and right, and listening to Wei Qian's introduction, she whispered in Su Xin's ear:

"Xiaoxin, which school are you planning to apply to? I think Jianghai Jiaotong University is quite good, and you should be starting a software company in the future, right? The business environment in Jianghai City seems better than the cities where the other top universities are located."

Although she was not very educated, during the time she spent accompanying him in his studies, she had specifically learned about some top universities, especially since Su Xin had been scoring full marks on every test for over a month now, which greatly increased her confidence in her son. She often searched for information on top universities and everyone's evaluations online, just to help her son choose a university in the future.

In her view, with Su Xin's current grades, he could certainly choose from any of the top universities, so naturally, he should choose the most suitable one.

If it came to understanding these top universities, Zhang Chunhua at this moment knew far more than many high school seniors.

Su Xin shook his head: "The business environment in Jianghai City is good, but I am going to Jing University."

Zhang Chunhua said 'oh', and seeing that Su Xin had already made a decision, she did not say anything more.

She knew that her son had grown up, and his ability and insight were far stronger than hers. She could only offer some suggestions; since her son had made a decision, it must be more comprehensive than what she had considered.

Wei Qian, who was leading the way in front, heard this conversation between the two and could not help but feel speechless.

Jianghai Jiaotong University and Jing University were both among the top five top universities in the country. For an ordinary person, being able to enter either one was a great honor, but listening to Su Xin, it sounded as if he could choose any of the top universities at will.

And he even looked down on Jianghai Jiaotong University?

Thinking of how she had studied hard for twelve years, through thousands of days and nights of struggle and study, just to be able to barely meet the cutoff score to enter this university, she had always been proud of it, yet Su Xin actually looked down on it?

This made Wei Qian feel a bit unhappy.

But Su Xin's words, on the surface, did not mean to belittle Jianghai Jiaotong University at all, which made it hard for her to find an excuse to vent.
