Chapter 63: Hit Me With Your Best Punch First
Among the two of them, one guy was named Yan Wei and the other one was called Wu Hao. These two had high qualifications in the army and had always brought honor to their military region in the past military exercises. With such a halo, it was inevitable for those two to feel a bit arrogant. It was also because they were quite sensitive towards Wang Yingâs attitude. They had never seen her talk this highly about someone in their military region, yet now she was praising an outsider and was even trying to invite him in. Wasnât this an embarrassment to the honorable 8th Military Region?
Xu Cheng could also understand why these two werenât really welcoming him. After all, he was here to borrow their equipment to assess his current capabilities, so despite their attitude, he didnât mind it.
He just told Wang Ying, âIf itâs not convenient, perhaps I should go. To be honest, Iâm mainly doing this because I have to fight a death match with someone in two days, so I need to warm myself up and get some last-minute training in.â
Hearing that Xu Cheng was leaving, Wang Ying was immediately upset. She was really unhappy with Wu Hao and Yan Weiâs attitude towards Xu Cheng. It wasnât their home, so why couldnât she just bring someone in?
âWho are you battling?â Wang Ying asked in curiosity.
âHave you heard of the leader of North Gate?â Xu Cheng asked Wang Ying.
âNorth Gate? You are sayingâŠâ Wang Yingâs eyes immediately widened. âThe leader of the North Gate Gang came out of seclusion and said that he was challenging someone to a deathmatch. Is that someone you?â
Xu Cheng nodded. âThe match is in two days, my supervisor gave me the days off for me to prepare for it. You also know that normal places wouldnât offer the stuff that fits our caliber of exercise, so when I ran it into you guys today, I figured that you are from the army as well so I wanted to borrow your equipment. Sorry.â
âItâs alright.â Wang Ying didnât mind at all and shook her head.
âThat guy the North Gate leader is challenging is you?â Wu Hao and Yan Weiâs interest was immediately piqued. They came closer and took a good look at Xu Cheng. Yan Wei laughed and asked, âAre you tired of living or something?â
Wu Hao nodded and said, âHe created North Gate with his own hands, itâs not something an ordinary thug can do. Although he went into seclusion for over a dozen years, his power and influence are still there, or else he wouldnât have still been able to suppress the entirety of North Gate. Brat, you could lose your life if you are too impulsive, you know that?â
Wang Ying yelled at those two captains, âNow the point is to help him. After all, heâs doing this in an attempt to disband North Gate. At this critical point, just stop discriminating against soldiers of other military regions.â
âHelp him? Isnât it simple? Just spar with us. To be honest, although we arenât the best, among the currently active-service soldiers in this country, we can get into the top 50 fighters for sure,â Wu Hao said.
Yan Wei nodded. âYeah, we are fine with you sparring with us, but are you though? Donât tell me that you canât even go one or two rounds.â
Wang Ying said to Xu Cheng, âThese two captains are both very good in melee combat, you can probably get a lot of experience if you spar with them.â
Xu Cheng said frankly, âIâm not lacking experience, I just want to find a pro that can force out my potential so I can see where my limits are.â
Now that was not something Yan Wei and Wu Hao wanted to hear.
Does this guy think we are not pros that can force out his potential? Just you wait, not to mention forcing out your potential, I will force crap out of your a-s when Iâm done with you.
âYou do talk big.â Yan Wei placed his hands on his hips and said, âTo tell you the truth, you are not qualified for us two to spar with you. If it wasnât for Wang Ying here, what you just said could get you beat up, you know?â
Wu Hao chimed in, âThe leader of North Gate should at least be B or even B+ in combat power, we are both C+. If you canât even beat us, then I might as well break a few bones of yours and hospitalize you so you donât end up embarrassing the police force the day after tomorrow, when you get killed by that gang leader.â
âOkay, you two captains, you even know that heâs going to be representing the police to fight those black society members, so just lend him a hand,â Wang Ying said a few words from Xu Chengâs side.
The two captains exchanged a look. Wu Hao snorted as he looked at Xu Cheng and said, âLittle brat, I heard that brat Shi Wenbin boasted how you can even kill a bull with one punch. I donât buy it. Itâs fine if you want us two to spar with you, but first you should show us your strength so that we can see if you are even qualified to fight the North Gate gang leader or not.â
Xu Cheng asked, âHow do you want me to prove it?â
Wu Hao: âVery simple. Here, punch my stomach, let me see what you got.â
Then, he lifted his tank top, revealing his explosive abdominal muscles.
Not just Xu Cheng, but even Wang Ying hesitated.
âForget it, Iâm afraid that I might not be able to control my strength and injure you,â Xu Cheng kindly declined.
âYeah, Captain Wu, his punch is a bit ridiculous.â Wang Ying bitterly smiled. âIt wouldnât be good if someone gets hurt.â
Xu Cheng added, âIâm afraid that it might kill you.â
Wu Hao immediately glared back and shouted, âNonsense! Do you know how many times I was the champion of the National Military Fighting Competition? Do you want to go to my dorm to see the trophies? How about you come to the Hall of Fame to see my qualifications? All my years of fighting experience were gathered by putting my life on the line. Whether itâs karate or taekwondo, there are plenty of people with more power than you. Iâve even seen guys that could blow up a punching bag with one punch or one kick. You are afraid that you will kill me? Humph! Not to mention killing me, I will recognize your abilities even if you just hurt me!â
Yan Wei also felt that Xu Cheng was a bit boastful with his words and said, âWu Hao came from a martial artist family and had been studying martial arts since little. I heard him say that thereâs such a thing called qi in his body, and under normal circumstances, nothing can hurt him. He doesnât look very burly, but his punches and kicks rely on the explosive strength of his inner qi, which is very powerful.â
Wu Hao was pretty proud with what Yan Wei just said, and he didnât say anything but his face clearly shows that heâs very dismissive of Xu Cheng and Wang Yingâs words.
Wang Ying was still worried that these two captains might get injured because she saw Xu Chengâs strength with her own eyes back then. The numbers displayed on that machine wouldnât lie.
âItâs fine, Captain Wu, Iâve seen your combat videos. Perhaps you guys have the same expectation of what a normal personâs strength should be at. However, Xu Chengâs strength is a bit too much for you to take. Letâs not compare strength, just directly spar.â
âIf he doesnât show me his punch, how can I know what level heâs at to spar effectively? I donât want to change my clothes and warm up just to spar with him. He can show me his punch, and if we think itâs okay, then we will spar with him. We are busy people too, we canât just spar with anyone that you ask us to,â Yan Wei said.
âThen⊠maybe we will try a punch?â Xu Cheng hesitated for a moment and said. After all, he was a bit curious about whether his punch works against inner qi masters like this Wu Hao claims to be.
Wu Hao patted himself on the belly, held his breath, locked the inner qi in his veins and dantian region, and said, âCome on!â
