“Alright, forget it.”
Ren Jianzhong stopped Cai Feiyu who was about to leave the boxing ring.
The former’s men were cheering him on.
“Jianzhong, beat him up!”
They never doubted his strength even for a second. After all, all of them had been defeated by him before. Jianzhong’s fighting moves were terrifying.
Feiyu stood between the two men and asked, “Are you ready?”
Both Yu Tian and Jianzhong nodded affirmatively.
“Let the fight begin!”
Almost immediately, Jianzhong attacked. He jumped at Yu Tian like an agile predator.
Right hook!
Yu Tian quickly dodged to the left.
Jianzhong instantly stopped his right hand and threw a left hook at his opponent instead.
He was very confident and believed that Yu Tian would not be able to dodge this sudden punch even if he realized what was going on.
Besides, Yu Tian probably did not expect Jianzhong to attack with his left hand.
The former slid forward. That was one of the moves from the unnamed fighting technique sequence he had learned – glider.
Another miss?
Jianzhong narrowed his eyes and accelerated his attack speed.
However, he was devastated because no matter which angle he attacked from or how quick his moves were, Yu Tian managed to swiftly dodge all of them.
Moreover, the young man succeeded in doing that while keeping a straight face.
The audience who was watching from the side grew concerned. Even a fool could tell that Yu Tian had the upper hand since the beginning of the fight.
“Seriously? Is Jianzhong going to lose to that little boy?”
“He’s dodging at an amazing speed! It almost seems supernatural!”
“How did we not hear of this young man before?”
Even Feiyu, the owner of the boxing studio, had his suspicions.
Chu Qing looked at her younger brother with a strange expression.
She thought to herself, ‘As far as I know, Yu Tian hasn’t practiced martial arts before. How did he become so good at fighting? Even Jianzhong is no match for him. In fact, Jianzhong might lose if this goes on!’
If Yu Tian had known of her silly thoughts, he might have laughed.
The young man could defeat Jianzhong with one single punch if he wanted to. Clearly, there was a massive difference in competence between the two of them.
He did not end the fight quickly for a reason. It was because he wanted to take advantage of Jianzhong and use the latter to test his own strength.
“Almost there.”
By now, Yu Tian had a rough idea of his own capability.
“What do you mean?”
Jianzhong was confused upon hearing that but within the next second, he had his answer.
‘Bam!’
Yu Tian punched his opponent’s arm with precision.
He exerted only about half of his strength for this punch.
Nonetheless, Jianzhong felt as if he had been hit by a truck. He lost control of his body and flew backward.
There was only a single thought that crossed his mind when he was in mid-air.
‘Yu Tian has been holding back all this while?”
‘Boom!’
Jianzhong was thrown to the edge of the boxing ring.
The entire boxing studio fell silent.
Everyone was holding their breath without even realizing it.
Yu Tian’s punch exceeded their expectations. They had never seen something like this before.
“The little boy… Won?”
Jianzhong’s men gulped in surprise.
They could not accept the fact that the invincible man they had always known was defeated by a young man in his early twenties.
Furthermore, this young man did not seem to have gone through any training.
They would not have believed it if they had not witnessed the scene with their own eyes.
Yu Tian walked forward to help Jianzhong get up.
The latter would not stop pestering Chu Qing because his feelings were genuine. Yu Tian was aware of that.
“You won,” said Jianzhong through his gritted teeth.
“You’re not too bad yourself.”
Yu Tian replied while cupping one fist in the other hand as a sign of respect.
The corners of Jianzhong’s lips twitched into a bitter smile.
He was well aware that Yu Tian only used half of his strength in that last punch.
If Yu Tian had used the amount of strength he had exerted during the previous competitions, Jianzhong would have ended up coughing up blood and being seriously injured due to the punch that weighed half a ton. Moreover, if the positing was slighting more calculated, he might even have lost his life right there and then.
Jianzhong knew that Yu Tian was definitely holding back.
He said with admiration, “Brother, I’m overwhelmed. Not only do you have explosive strength, but your fighting techniques also exceed mine by a mile.”
Jianzhong did not seem to hate Yu Tian as much as before. The latter helped him to his feet.
Without him realizing, Jianzhong had started referring to the young man as his own brother.
Yu Tian replied self-mockingly, “I just got lucky.”
“Brother, you’re too humble.”
Jianzhong patted Yu Tian on the shoulder.
“Oh, are you a new recruit of the army?” he asked curiously.
“No.”
“Then who taught you those fighting moves?”
This question took Yu Tian by surprise. He hesitated to answer because he did not want to reveal too much about his family matters.
“It’s just something that has been passed on from my ancestors.”
“I see.”
Jianzhong noticed that his question might be quite rude. He scratched his head in embarrassment.
“As the saying goes, no acquaintance is made without a fight. We’re now friends!”
“Huh?!”
Yu Tian was taken aback once more.
He was led down from the boxing ring by his new friend.
Feiyu, Chu Qing, and the others looked at the two of them peculiarly.
No one knew what was going on. Why were the two men, who were fighting just a few minutes ago, now seemed so friendly? From the way they were smiling at each other, they looked even closer than actual brothers!
Feiyu could not help but ask, “Jianzhong, what’s going on?”
“Out of blows, friendship grows,” Jianzhong replied while smiling.
He was telling the truth. Taking Chu Qing out of the equation, he actually quite liked Yu Tian as a person.
The fact that the young man was able to completely destroy him at fighting was a good enough reason.
Chu Qing turned to Yu Tian.
“The two of you are really friends now?”
“Of course. Chu Qing, I’ve asked you out today for a meal. We’ve taken quite a while. Why don’t we head back for some food now?”
Jianzhong said while grinning.
When he looked at the woman, there was a hint of determination in his eyes as if he was convincing himself that it was time to let go.
Go for a meal again?
Chu Qing was worried that Jianzhong would secretly play dirty and attack Yu Tian. So, she quickly refused.
“Actually, Yu Tian and I should be heading back…”
“Come on, let’s go.”
Jianzhong urged.
Yu Tian turned to look at Chu Qing and heard the latter sigh. She knew that her childhood playmate must be feeling terrible right now. In the end, she agreed out of guilt.
“Let’s get some food. It’s lunchtime anyway.”
The group bid goodbye to Feiyu and left the boxing studio for Haitian Restaurant.
They returned to the private room that Jianzhong had reserved earlier. The dishes ordered earlier were still not served.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Jianzhong’s men went on to make some arrangements.
Soon, the table was filled with numerous dishes.
“This isn’t enough. Hey, you guys, go and get some of those.”
His men understood the meaning behind his instruction and left the room at once.
Yu Tian and Chu Qing were confused. They turned to look at Jianzhong and asked simultaneously, “Some of what?”
Jianzhong looked at the woman before shifting his gaze to the young man.
“Yu Tian, you’ve defeated me in terms of strength. I know you’ll be able to take better care of Chu Qing,” he said after a sigh.
“Promise me that you’ll protect and treat her well. Don’t make her unhappy or cry. You must give me your word..”
