Chapter 21: Can a sneak attack knock someone away? Come and try it

"Apes can leap several feet in one leap, and can move through the woods as if they were walking on flat ground, not to mention on flat ground."

After returning to Xiafeng Town, Chu Ning started reading "Ape Steps". The author created this martial art based on the monkeys climbing in the forest.

The main feature of "Ape Step" is jumping and climbing, which is most suitable for being a thief on the beam.

But Chu Ning is not picky, having something is better than having nothing.

In the following days, in addition to practicing the Bull Demon Fist, Chu Ning also spent an extra hour every day in the mountains practicing the "Ape Leap" in preparation for the Constable Competition in a month.

Since he is hiding his incompetence, perhaps other constables are also hiding their incompetence.

Still can't be careless.

And so it goes, day after day.

The once-in-three-years constable competition is also here.

Although the Constable Competition is not open to the public, some dignitaries in Daning County can still come to watch, and even the county magistrate will be present in person.

The seats have already been set up in the martial arts arena behind the on-site police station.

When Chu Ning walked towards the registration point, the constable in charge of registration was stunned for a moment: "Are you sure you want to sign up?"

Before Xiafeng Town became rich, Chu Ning was a nobody in the police station. But as Huang Zhongtai supported Chu Ning, the detectives in the police station also remembered Chu Ning.

"Is it not possible?"

"Of course you can, but you can only apply once in five years. If you apply now, you won't be able to apply again until five years later. You won't be able to apply again when you're 40 or older."

The old constable reminded him that the constables who registered on the spot must have worked for at least five years and have some confidence in their abilities. There have never been constables who registered after only one or two years of employment.

Because those who choose to be constables are not very talented in martial arts. If you can reach the level of a quasi-master in two or three years, why do you still want to be a constable? Wouldn't it be better to concentrate on martial arts training and spend two years to break through to the level of a master? Even if you love the profession of constable, you can directly become a head constable.

If you don't have much talent in martial arts, then it will depend more on time to hone your skills and increase your strength little by little. Practicing one more year will make you stronger than practicing one less year.

After Chu Ning made it clear that he wanted to sign up, the old detective wrote his name on the list.

At this moment, there was a younger group of people on the stands on one side of the martial arts field.

"Isn't that Chu Ning?"

"Why did he go to the registration point?"

“No way!”

"He wants to sign up too?"

Jin Le was like a commentator, constantly explaining Chu Ning's every move. The other students around couldn't help but look towards the registration office in the direction of his voice. When they saw Chu Ning holding his number plate and going to the contestant seat, they were also shocked.

Chu Ning is going to participate in the police competition? Is this a mistake? Is he here to make fun of me?

Before Instructor Liu brought them to watch the fight this time, he introduced the situation of the constable competition to them. The constables participating in the competition had a strength of at least 800 kilograms. For those who have practiced martial arts for more than ten years, it is normal for them to punch with a strength of 3,000 kilograms, not to mention their combat experience.

They asked themselves, if they were allowed to play, they might not even make it into the top five.

"You're quite courageous." Zhao Qin said calmly, with his hands behind his back.

"That's not courage, that's lack of self-awareness. If I were him, I would just be a constable and make money practicing martial arts. I would practice for ten years before joining the competition."

"That's right. It would be most reliable to come back and compete in ten years, strive for a top three ranking, and then use the reward to become a martial artist. What he said is just sensationalism."

Tang Ruowei, who was wearing a tight red dress, couldn't listen any longer and interrupted, "Since Chu Ning dared to go up, he must be sure of it."

This guy is very smart.

After being interrupted by Tang Ruowei, the other students stopped discussing. There was nothing they could do as they could not beat Tang Ruowei.

There are three people sitting on the rostrum at this moment.

On the left is Chief Huang, in the middle is a middle-aged man in official uniform, and on the right is Liu Junshan.

"Chief Huang is good at managing his subordinates, and the police station is full of talented people."

"I cannot bear what Lord He said. The credit should go to Instructor Liu. Most of the detectives in the police station come from the school."

Seeing Huang Zhongtai turn the topic to Liu Junshan, He Xu smiled faintly: "Of course, it is a blessing for the students in our Daning County Martial Arts School to have Liu as instructor."

Liu Junshan knew the conflict between the two men very well. He had only brought students to watch the fight and had no intention of intervening in the fight between the two. However, when he looked at Chu Ning who was sitting at the registration table, his eyes sank, and then he smiled and said, "Every previous competition was extremely exciting. In addition to the hard work of the constables in practicing martial arts, it was also inseparable from the rewards. I wonder what rewards Chief Huang and Lord He have prepared this time?"

What reward? Huang Zhongtai and He Xu were both puzzled as to why Liu Junshan asked this question. Aren't the rewards for each constable competition the same? "Does Instructor Liu think that I and Chief Huang should give you an extra reward?"

He Xu glanced at the registration table and said with a smile, "That's right. The rewards are the same every year. I'm afraid it won't attract people after a while. How about giving the first place a Tongjin Pill this year?"

"Master He, this is inappropriate." Chief Huang immediately stopped him and frowned, saying, "Tongjin Pills are too precious."

"It is because of its preciousness that the detectives are more motivated to practice martial arts. The county government will also help pay for half of the material cost of the Tong Jin Dan."

He Xu knew why Huang Zhongtai tried to stop him, because the constables under Huang Zhongtai's confidants were not very strong. In comparison, the constables under his own people had the best chance of winning the first place.

But he would not give Huang Zhongtai this opportunity. Now his county government has offered half of the money. If Huang Zhongtai refuses, he will lose the support of the people in the police station.

"Okay, let's do as Lord He says."

Huang Zhongtai had a gloomy face, He Xu had a smug smile on his face, and Liu Junshan on the side sighed inwardly. Lord He thought he had won, but he didn't know that he had already fallen into the trap set by Huang Zhongtai, and even he himself might have been tricked.

Liu Junshan now thought that, logically, this kind of constable competition should have been led by the head instructor of the academy, but Huang Zhongtai sent him the invitation. He was afraid that Huang Zhongtai had guessed something about his attitude towards Chu Ning.

"None of the children of the top dignitaries are simple." Liu Junshan whispered in his heart.

…

…

As the youngest face at the registration table, Chu Ning naturally attracted the attention of other detectives. Some of them looked at him with mocking eyes, some flashed murderous glances, and some simply ignored him.

At the 11:00 p.m., Huang Zhongtai stood up and said, "You all know the rules of the Constable Competition, so I won't repeat them here. But I have good news for you. The first place winner of this Constable Competition will receive a Tongjin Pill."

Swish! Chu Ning heard the shocked voices at the scene and noticed that the breathing of the applicants around him became rapid. Although he didn't know what this Tong Jin Dan was, he knew that it was definitely a good thing.

Could it be that Tong Jin can help develop An Jin?

Chu Ning's eyes also lit up, and he was determined to get the Tong Jin Pill this time.

Soon, the eleven detectives sitting in the front row began to draw lots to select their opponents.

There are a total of twenty-two detectives who signed up this time. The eleven sitting in the first row are obviously the strongest. They choose the weaker ones in the back row as their opponents. This can prevent a strong confrontation from happening too early.

"Number 18."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Chu Ning was surprised to see the constable who had drawn his number, as he turned out to be an acquaintance, Li Cheng, the first constable under Constable Zhao.

"Chu Ning, you're lucky you picked me." Li Cheng looked at Chu Ning and said unhappily, "Why did you sign up for no reason? Do you really think the competition is just for fun? If your opponent is Zhang Tao and his men, although they won't kill you, they can still beat you up and make you lie down for a few months, and Chief Huang won't be able to say anything."

"Brother Li, I must have my reasons for signing up. How about this, we punch at the same time, whoever has more power wins?"

Facing his own people, Chu Ning did not want to hit them too hard. Li Cheng was amused by Chu Ning's words: "Where do you get your confidence from? It's okay, it doesn't matter who is stronger. If you can stand still after taking my punch, you win."

After the agreement was reached, Chu Ning and Li Cheng punched at the same time. The moment their fists collided, Li Cheng's expression changed.

First, his pupils dilated, then there was a look of disbelief on his face, and then his body staggered a few times, while Chu Ning stood there motionless.

"Chu Ning, you..."

"Brother Li, do you think the chief will let me sign up if I'm not sure?" Chu Ning said harmlessly to the somewhat confused Li Cheng.

"That's right, it seems that Chu Ning, you are a hidden talent."

Li Cheng retreated, and the battle of the other twenty people was almost over.

The first row all had absolute overwhelming strength, so it wasn’t too difficult for them to win.

But when these ten people saw Chu Ning still standing on the field and Li Cheng had gone down, there was a hint of inquiry in their eyes when they looked at Chu Ning.

"The winner will come forward to draw lots, and those who draw a blank lot will automatically advance to the next round."

There are eleven people, and there must be byes in the battle between two people. And not everyone needs to draw lots. For example, Chu Ning drew number 3, which means that the constable number 3 does not need to draw.

"What a coincidence."

Chu Ning looked at Zhang Tao with the lottery number in his hand. He didn't expect to meet Zhang Tao in the second round.

Zhang Tao looked at the sign in Chu Ning's hand with a fierce look in his eyes. Standing behind him was Captain Gan, who was Lord He's confidant, and Chu Ning was Chief Huang's man...

Lord He is watching in the stands now. If I defeat Chu Ning severely, Lord He will definitely be impressed by me.

"This person has murderous intentions towards me?"

Although Chu Ning could not feel the so-called murderous intent, he could see some clues from Zhang Tao's expression.

"I like to nip threats in the bud, so I'll just destroy you right away."

Regardless of whether the judgment was wrong or not, Zhang Tao was on the other side, so there was no need to show mercy.

"Chu Ning, I didn't expect that we would meet again."

Bang! Just as Zhang Tao finished speaking, Chu Ning's fist had already arrived.

"you!"

Zhang Tao hastily put his arms in front of his chest. Only the sound of bones breaking was heard, and then he flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

This change on the scene instantly attracted the attention of all the spectators.

After all, compared with the fights between other constables, where you punch and I kick, you take a half step back and I stagger a few times, Zhang Tao's way of defeat is very eye-catching.

If the gap in strength between the two sides was not too huge, such an effect would not have been possible.

"What happened? I wasn't looking here just now."

"I just saw it. Chu Ning made a despicable sneak attack and Zhang Tao was caught off guard and was knocked flying." A constable said angrily.

When the constable nearby heard this, he looked at the man as if he were a fool. Sneak attack... and then knock him away... Why don't you try and see if you can do it?

This is so powerful that even the opponent has no time to react.

However, the most shocked people were not the detectives, but the students who were watching the game.

"Fuck!"

"Fuck!"
