Chapter 15: Destroy Tang Ruowei's Confidence

The headquarters of the Sanzhu Gang.

The lights are on.

The bodies of Liu Wei and other three were lying in the lobby. At this moment, the leader and two deputy leaders of the Sanzhu Gang were all present, with serious expressions on their faces.

Liu Wei is just a small fry, nothing special.

As the leader of the Sanzhu Gang, Li Yunshu had no idea that there was a subordinate like Liu Wei in his mind. The three brothers had solemn expressions just because of the way Liu Wei died.

Half an hour ago, some citizens found the bodies of Liu Wei and four others in the alley and reported it to the police station immediately. The constables from the police station knew that they were members of the Sanzhu Gang by the way they were dressed, so they didn't even care about the bodies and just let someone notify the Sanzhu Gang.

The underworld has its own rules. The police station will not intervene if there are casualties in gang fights.

Those who were hacked to death or injured were dealt with by the gangs themselves.

Otherwise, the police station’s cells would not be able to hold all the people. Even if these gang members had not killed anyone, they had at least hacked and beaten people.

"What do you two brothers think?" Li Yunshu asked the two deputy gang leaders who were also his sworn brothers.

"This man is an expert. He killed me with one blow. I conservatively estimate his punch strength is over 2,000. I just don't know how much strength he used."

"If he used his full strength, it wouldn't be a big deal, but if he didn't use his full strength, he might be a quasi-martial artist."

"Investigate. First, investigate the whereabouts of the quasi-martial artists from Feihu Sect and Blood Knife Hall to see if they were the ones who did it. If not... then investigate who Liu Wei and his gang offended recently. Anyway, Liu Wei and his four companions are dead. If this quasi-martial artist doesn't have a gang yet, invite him to join."

Li Yunshu made a decision quickly. After twenty years of development by the three brothers, the Sanzhu Gang occupied most of Daning County.

Ten years ago, the three brothers still had the ambition to unify Daning County and then expand outward, but now the three brothers are over fifty years old and just want to guard their current territory and make enough money to live out their retirement in the provincial capital.

When the gang expands, it needs to unite the people, and they will avenge Liu Wei. But now the gang does not expand its territory, but only guards the original territory to make money. If Liu Wei dies, there are plenty of people willing to take his place.

…

…

For several days in a row, Chu Ning, who returned to the county town to celebrate the New Year, was very cautious. He thought that since four people had died in the city, there would be a lot of panic, but it turned out that he was overthinking.

The Sanzhu Gang didn't take any action, and no one in the police station even mentioned the matter.

Chu Ning, feeling relieved, went to visit Director Huang at his residence again. Unfortunately, Director Huang was not at home. After asking, he found out that Director Huang was from the provincial capital and would return to the provincial capital to celebrate the New Year at the end of every year.

The child of a high-ranking official.

Then Chu Ning visited Lao Liao again. Lao Liao was a lonely man and didn't have a cook at home. He was very happy to see Chu Ning coming and took Chu Ning to the theater to listen to music for an afternoon.

Xiaoxiang was still the one singing, and Lao Liao generously gave her five taels of silver as a reward. However, what Chu Ning did not expect was that Xiaoxiang not only did not come over to express her gratitude, but also asked the troupe owner to return the money.

Chu Ning then realized that Lao Liao had never told Xiaoxiang about his relationship with her mother, which made the girl think that he was trying to get young girls.

After visiting Lao Liao, Chu Ning went to the school to visit Teacher Liu.

The school's gatekeeper recognized Chu Ning and did not stop him. It was not until Chu Ning arrived at Instructor Liu's courtyard that he discovered that Tang Ruowei was also there.

Liu Junshan was very happy to see Chu Ning. Although as a teacher he had no shortage of things that Chu Ning brought, he was very satisfied with Chu Ning's thoughtfulness.

"Yes, with Chief Huang's care, you should be having a good time in the police station. Have you given up practicing martial arts?"

Compared to when he left the academy, Chu Ning is now more confident and calm.

"Students dare not forget their teachings. Although they have left the academy, they have never given up practicing martial arts. They practice diligently for at least two hours every day."

"very good."

Liu Junshan was very satisfied, but there was a hint of regret in his eyes. If Chu Ning could stay in the academy, with his perseverance and strength to develop a special physique, even if he could not become a martial artist in three years, he could at least become a quasi-martial artist.

"Whether you have practiced or not is not something you can just say. Chu Ning, let's have a sparring match."

Tang Ruowei at the side spoke up, her eyes showing an eager expression. Chu Ning even saw a hint of hunger in the girl's eyes.

No way.

This is what Tang Ruowei thought of herself during the months she was away from school.

Chu Ning was right. Tang Ruowei really missed him. Since Chu Ning left, she found that she could no longer find a suitable sparring partner.

None of the other students in the school could handle a beating as well as Chu Ning, and they would admit defeat after just a few moves every time they sparred.

"Okay."

Chu Ning did not refuse, he also wanted to test his true strength now.

The two of them deployed their forces, but Tang Ruowei still waited for Chu Ning to make the first move. Chu Ning understood that this woman wanted to see his current strength, and then control his strength to be similar to hers.

"The Bull Demon is on top!"

Chu Ning shouted angrily, and attacked Tang Ruowei's lower body directly with his fists.

Tang Ruowei subconsciously defended her upper body, but she didn't expect that what Chu Ning shouted was different from his actual punch. However, her reaction speed was faster than Chu Ning's, so she managed to dodge it.

"The Bull Demon spreads its wings!"

"Step on the moon and pick the stars!"

Liu Junshan, who was watching the fight from the side, had his mouth twitching. Although Chu Ning's fighting style was a bit shameless, it was indeed effective.

Tang Ruowei could only take it hastily and had no power to fight back.

Liu Junshan knew where the problem lay, as Chu Ning and Tang Ruowei were both familiar with the Bull Demon Fist. When Chu Ning shouted the moves of the Bull Demon Fist, Tang Ruowei would subconsciously judge which direction Chu Ning was attacking and would subconsciously defend that part of the body. However, Chu Ning was completely making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. The moves he shouted were completely different from the moves he actually used.

If it were someone who was not familiar with the Bull Demon Fist, Chu Ning's move would have no effect.

"Chun Ning, you are even more shameless than before."

Tang Ruowei found an opportunity to take a few steps back, out of Chu Ning's attack range, with a look of anger on her pretty face.

This fight made her feel so frustrated.

"How can this be shameless? Is fighting like this not allowed in a competition?"

Chu Ning's question silenced Tang Ruowei, and she bit her teeth lightly: "Then I won't hold back any more."

Tang Ruowei no longer held back her strength and took the initiative to attack this time, but to her surprise, Chu Ning did not dodge but chose to confront her head-on.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Just as their fists were about to collide, Tang Ruowei suddenly retracted her fist and took a few steps back.

"Miss Tang, what are you doing? I can't even fight you head-on."

"You don't have any chili powder?"

Thinking of the scene where the chili powder hit her face, Tang Ruowei looked at Chu Ning with suspicion. Chu Ning had no choice but to spread out his hands to prove that there was no chili powder on his hands.

Only a fool would put chili powder on his hands. He found a tailor shop and had a pocket sewed on the lining of the cuff of each piece of clothing. He then put the chili powder in it and sewed it up with silk thread. When he needed to use it, he just had to grab the silk thread and pull it.

"That's good, watch out!"

Tang Ruowei swung her punch, but Chu Ning chose to fight head-on. He wanted to see how big the gap was between him and these martial arts geniuses.

Bang! Tang Ruowei's feet sank as her fists collided. She staggered, but she finally stood firm. Chu Ning took three steps back before he could stabilize himself.

"How is this possible?"

Tang Ruowei opened her mouth slightly in disbelief. She only had 700 kilograms of strength, but her Bull Demon Fist allowed her to burst out with four times the strength. How could Chu Ning take it?

I have been in the academy for nearly three months, and I have practiced martial arts for no less than three hours every day. Chu Ning’s practice time is definitely not as much as mine, but this guy’s progress is faster than mine?

Is this guy really just a mediocre martial arts talent? "Now you know how tough I am." Chu Ning said proudly with his head held high.

Liu Junshan's eyes narrowed slightly as well. He saw more deeply than Tang Ruowei. In terms of speed and comprehension of the Bull Demon Fist, Tang Ruowei was far superior to Chu Ning, but Chu Ning was very strong.

"Chu Ning, how much strength do you have now?" Liu Junshan asked.

"Only a mere 850 kilograms." Chu Ning looked ashamed.

Liu Junshan: …

Tang Ruowei: ...

This person must have done it on purpose.

Only 850 jin? Then what about my 700 jin? Seeing Tang Ruowei's expression, Chu Ning was a little puzzled. What was the matter with this resentful expression? 850 jin was nothing, because his real strength now was 920 jin.

"It seems that the pill your father gave you was definitely not an ordinary thing." Liu Junshan made his judgment.

Chu Ning said: "I don't know about this."

Because his strength growth was different from that of others, it was not noticeable in the early stages. When everyone's strength growth was very slow in the later stages, Chu Ning knew that if his strength growth was still fast, it would definitely attract attention.

So he thought of an excuse for himself when he was in school, that his father had given him a pill before he died, and this was the effect of the pill.

He also went to Instructor Liu to ask for help on this matter. According to Instructor Liu, some elixirs made from precious natural treasures can indeed increase the body's strength. Many top martial artists' families would let their children take elixirs when they were children. As the body gradually develops, the effects of the elixirs would appear.

Tang Ruowei knew that Chu Ning's father was a martial artist. Although this kind of elixir was very precious and ordinary martial artists could not get it, if Chu Ning's father was lucky and spent a lot of money to get one, it was not impossible.

After sparring with Tang Ruowei, Chu Ning did not stay in Instructor Liu's courtyard for too long. Just when he opened his mouth to say goodbye, Tang Ruowei followed him out.

"Tomorrow the school is closed. Jinle's family runs a restaurant and invites everyone to have a dinner together. Do you want to go?"

"Why would I go? If I go, the atmosphere will be gone."

"No, with your current strength, everyone will accept you."

Tang Ruowei believed that as long as she told everyone about Chu Ning's current strength, everyone would no longer reject Chu Ning. Even if they couldn't become friends with him, they would not ridicule him.

"Forget it. Miss Tang, if you have time in the future, you can bring gifts to visit me in Xiafeng Town."

Not being ridiculed doesn't mean you're not welcome either.

If it were another ten years, Chu Ning would be willing to participate. It’s not because of how strong he would be in a dozen years, but because these people would have experienced more hardships and become more sophisticated.

The young man is thin-skinned, but he can't lower his head.
