Easy Victory

"Really?"

"Can Chen Feng handle it?"

"Why do I feel like Chen Feng has gotten a little more solid?"

"Now that you mention it, I think so too. Did he start working out on his own?"

In the training class, quite a few students stood on both sides with great interest as they watched Chen Feng and Zheng Qiang face off.

Even Xu Dongtai and Yu Shan were doubtful. Rather than immediately sparring, they watched from afar as well.

"Dong Ge, what do you think the coach was thinking?"

"Wasn't Chen Feng always dead last? Aren't they afraid Zheng Qiang will beat him crippled?"

His lackey Zhou Xin stood nearby and asked in a low voice, a trace of disdain flashing through his eyes.

No one answered, because who knew how many people had the same doubts.

But yet, faced with all those watching eyes,

Chen Feng remained calm, even silently putting on his gloves and protective gear.

"He's pretty good at putting on an act."

Zheng Qiang stood across the open space and raised an eyebrow.

He did not believe the other party was unaware of his strength.

Chen Feng had actually agreed to spar and was still this calm. Maybe he really had something up his sleeve.

"You're not wearing protective gear?" Chen Feng asked, glancing at the other man's unprotected head.

"Against you, I don't need it."

Zheng Qiang's gaze darkened. He only wore gloves as he deliberately said this.

Seeing this, Chen Feng said nothing more and merely narrowed his eyes as he looked at Zheng Qiang's head.

It looked like he would have to go easy on him later.

Tap, tap!

At once, the two took their positions, ready to fight.

Their eyes met. Seeing Chen Feng settle into his stance, a cold glint flashed through Zheng Qiang's eyes.

"Whether your skills are real or fake, we'll find out once we try!"

Without another word, Zheng Qiang's gaze sharpened as he stepped forward and rushed out.

Whoosh!

In an instant, Zheng Qiang, clad in a black tank top, seemed to transform into a cheetah.

With a tap, his foot landed.

He steadied his center of gravity and suddenly appeared less than half a meter before Chen Feng.

Their eyes met, and his bronze right arm swung up, elbow slightly bent as power surged from his waist and back.

Boom!

The next second.

A howling gust rose as his fist tore through the air, shooting straight at Chen Feng's face!

"So fast!"

A watching student cried out.

"Why isn't Chen Feng dodging?"

Lin Hao's expression turned grave, and the other students were secretly alarmed as well.

Zheng Qiang's punch carried eighty kilograms of force. Was Chen Feng planning to surrender outright without even dodging?

Thud!

!!

A dull impact rang out.

Everyone's thoughts shattered in an instant, and the world before their eyes seemed to freeze.

"How could this be!"

Zhou Xin cried out, his face filled with shock.

Yu Shan looked startled and suspicious, while Xu Dongtai's gaze narrowed.

Looking along the flow, they saw Zheng Qiang's fiercely advancing bronze fist forced to a stop in midair.

It was a powerful hand.

His left palm stretched out, five fingers gripped tightly.

It had accurately and forcefully seized Zheng Qiang's fist.

"Impossible!"

Zheng Qiang's pupils contracted as doubt flashed through his heart.

His attack had actually been blocked?

And it looked like this guy had done it effortlessly?

As the thought flashed through his mind and he felt everyone's eyes upon him,

his blood heated up. Zheng Qiang wanted to burst free and throw another punch.

Buzz!

However, the next second.

A fist faster than his own appeared.

The wind trembled, five fingers gripped tightly.

Chen Feng yanked hard with his left hand, instantly pulling Zheng Qiang off balance and making his body sway forward.

Then, his right shoulder moved.

His muscular right arm blasted out from his waist. Power surged through his spine as his right foot circled forward.

The fist wind intensified—faster, fiercer, stronger!

Thud!!!

In an Instant, his fist slammed into Zheng Qiang's cheek. Zheng Qiang's head jerked aside, the flesh of his face denting and rippling like waves.

Pain, tearing pain!

His mind became a mess, and fury and shock exploded in his eyes.

This guy had been hiding his strength!

It hurt so much!

His reason clouded as his body swayed.

He was unwilling to lose like this, and even less willing to shamefully admit defeat.

Zheng Qiang gritted his teeth, trying to steady himself.

Boom!

Another punch!

Chen Feng's gaze was sharp. His left palm had somehow withdrawn, turning into a fist.

His elbow bent slightly as he threw a diagonal left!

Thud!!

Another dull impact sank into flesh, making Zheng Qiang see stars and roll his eyes back.

Then, before everyone's eyes, his body swayed before crashing to the floor.

In an Instant.

The atmosphere fell silent.

The crowd stared blankly, frozen in place. Lin Hao and Zhou Xin stood with their mouths hanging open.

Xu Dongtai's eyes narrowed into thin slits.

That trace of danger he had sensed that day had been real?

Chen Feng looked calm, not even out of breath.

Xu Dongtai realized that he seemed to have overlooked a formidable opponent.

"Th-That's fake, right?"

A student came back to his senses and spoke instinctively.

The silence broke, and discussions erupted through the crowd.

"Awesome!"

"Chen Feng is actually this fierce? Holy shit, I really underestimated him!"

"Amateur Fourth Dan—didn't that punch just now definitely have the level of an Amateur Fourth Dan?"

Noisy voices continued to ring beside his ear as Chen Feng silently removed his protective gear and gloves.

Looking at Zheng Qiang, unconscious on the ground, he rubbed his fist as thoughts raced through his mind.

He had held back too much on the first punch.

The second punch was not bad.

He had not fractured his skull, right?

"Take him to the Infirmary. It's nothing serious. Spray on some healing mist, and he'll wake up on his own soon enough."

Coach Lu had approached at some point. He gave Zheng Qiang a brief look and confirmed that he was fine.

With a wave of his hand, several students quickly stepped forward and carried Zheng Qiang away.

"You kid, at least you showed some restraint."

Coach Lu turned to Chen Feng. The sharp light in his eyes receded, though a flicker of excitement passed through them.

This kid.

He really had undergone Martial Awakening.

That footwork just now seemed to contain not only Sanshou, but also traces of Judo?

He had grasped the basics of Judo in a single day?

Thoughts raced through Coach Lu's mind one after another. The more he looked at Chen Feng, the more satisfied he became.

"How did it feel?"

He asked.

"Not bad."

Chen Feng replied with a smile, catching sight of the shocked expressions of the other students from the corner of his eye.

To be the focus of everyone's attention—that was how it should be.

No one disliked being watched.

And from being completely unknown at the beginning to reaching this point now,

only a little over ten days had passed.

"Hehe, it looks like you really did undergo Martial Awakening."

Coach Lu said with a smile as he stepped forward and patted Chen Feng on the shoulder.

He said nothing more, only glancing at Xu Dongtai in the distance from the corner of his eye.

He had to admit that, before this, he had always considered Xu Dongtai the most outstanding.

But now...

Shaking his head, he quickly brushed past Chen Feng and began instructing the others to spar.

"Chen Feng, damn, you're incredible!"

Lin Hao quietly ran over, his eyes brimming with shock and curiosity.

"It's only been a few days, and you've already taken off like this?"

"How did you train? Hurry, can you tell me some tips for practicing boxing?"

After firing off a string of questions, Chen Feng shrugged.

"I just trained normally."

"Just sweat a little more."

Damn it!

Lin Hao shot him a glare, his face full of helplessness.

Was that even something a human would say?

Shaking his head inwardly, he dropped the subject and tactfully did not ask about it again.

Then, he glanced at Xu Dongtai in the distance.

Seeing him spar with Yu Shan, their fists violent and explosive, he quickly ended the fight as well.

Lin Hao's eyes moved, and he soon said with a grin, "Looks like the Core Disciple assessment has gotten more interesting."

"You and Xu Dongtai, heh heh."
