Teacher Gao ran all the way here when he was called over, and another teacher and coach came along with him.
"This matter must be dealt with seriously. No matter how talented you are, it's useless if you don't have good character."
After hearing what had happened, Teacher Gao comforted Li Wu and told him to go home and rest.
"But these children are all promising talents selected from across the province. If we send them all back, how much will it cost?"
Another teacher softened her tone, trying to be lenient.
“Sending them away now only costs travel expenses, but if we wait until they are trained, will the time and effort spent in that process be less than the travel expenses? We are cultivating talent for the country, and they are not three-year-old children. This matter is non-negotiable.”
Teacher Gao persisted, looking at the leader.
"Teacher Gao is right. These children should not only be sent back, but we should also tell them the truth about why they were returned."
When Li Wu returned to the dormitory, Tang Sheng went up to him.
"I heard you got into a fight. Were you hurt?"
"No, no, I ran really fast, and I didn't fight. They wanted to hit me, but I beat them up instead."
Li Wu proudly held his little head high.
By the next day, all the children at the training base knew of Li Wu's name; the story of him taking on ten people at once was incredibly exaggerated.
So some curious people, who considered themselves very capable, took the initiative to come and find Li Wu.
"That chubby kid."
Are you calling me?
Li Wu raised his finger and pointed to himself.
"Yes, it's you. They all say you're amazing, that you can take on ten people at once. I don't believe it. You compete with me."
"Why should I compare myself to you? It wasn't me who said it."
Li Wu didn't want to talk to this person. He called him "Little Fatty" as soon as he opened his mouth. He wasn't fat at all. Everyone said he was sturdy. He was very satisfied with the fat on his body.
"If you win, I'll give you two, no, I'll give you five dollars."
The boy thought for a moment and then spoke.
Li Wu, who was about to leave, suddenly turned around and took a step closer to the other person.
"Five dollars? Are you serious? What if I lose? You're not going to give me five dollars anyway, are you? Never mind."
As Li Wu spoke, he took a half step back to create distance.
"If you lose, I won't charge you. Do you dare to compete?"
"You don't want my money, fine, but what if I accidentally hurt you? You're not going to try to scam me, are you?"
Li Wu's suspicious gaze almost made the boy opposite him jump up in anger.
“I’m not that kind of person. Five dollars, you, you be my witness.”
He had also learned some martial arts from his grandfather, and he didn't believe that the chubby boy in front of him could be more powerful than him.
Li Wu didn't expect this person to be so straightforward, taking out five yuan as soon as he said he would.
He definitely wouldn't be willing to do it if it were him.
"Alright then, let's make it clear first, this is just a friendly spar, don't get worked up."
Li Wu's self-confidence stems from his persistent training and the guidance of Grandpa Liao and the other grandfathers in the orchard.
As soon as his opponent got into a fighting stance, Li Wu didn't underestimate him. The two started fighting, and more and more people gathered to watch.
"Go Liwu!"
Go Jiangcheng!
Cheers erupted, and Li Wu was delighted to have met someone who knew kung fu, so he fought with increasing enthusiasm.
