Brother Xiao Liang

Lu Yang was still unaware that Zheng Yuan already hated him. After taking off his gaming helmet, he changed his position and fell asleep.

He didn't wake up until 1 PM. After a simple lunch, Lu Yang began to exercise. His father was a soldier and had been very strict with him since he was a child, so he had a good foundation.

Before his rebirth, he had received professional training from his father's comrades for five years in order to kill Liu Jie. Unfortunately, Lu Yang was already 26 years old at that time, having missed the best training period. Even so, Lu Yang had made a name for himself in the mercenary world as "Bloodfire," striking fear into the hearts of people in Southeast Asia.

Now, living his life again, Lu Yang decided to first restore his physical fitness to its peak, and then he would see just how far he could go.

He tried a set of punches his father had taught him to loosen up his muscles and bones, and then he began to exercise according to the method his master had taught him.

This training method was a secret technique used by a South Asian organization to train suicide soldiers. By exercising according to this method, as long as one could endure it, physical fitness could be rapidly improved. However, this method had a particularly big drawback: it was extremely painful. Less than one in ten ordinary people could persevere.

Two hours later, Lu Yang couldn't help but collapse to the ground. Every inch of his muscles felt like they were about to break, but even so, he had to persist and stand up if he wanted to improve.

That year, the reason that kept Lu Yang going was to kill Liu Jie. In this life, it was still the same!

After persevering for another half an hour, Lu Yang completed his training for the day with a roar. Using trembling arms, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and leaned against the bathroom wall. After barely managing to take off his clothes, he turned on the showerhead and let the cold water pour over his body.

At times like these, Lu Yang would fall into deep memories. However, the memories of his past life were filled with regret, while the memories of this life were somewhat different.

It is said that righteous men are often butchers, while ungrateful men are often scholars. Lu Yang deeply understood this saying. The person who betrayed him in his past life was his "brother" of four years from his university bunk. Similarly, the person who didn't betray Lu Yang when he was at his lowest point and owed tens of millions in debt was a naive young man who didn't go to college and had little education – Xiao Liang.

As a brother, his friendship was impeccable. At that time, Lu Yang's parents went to work on construction sites, and Xiao Liang followed them to earn money to help repay the debt. Later, when Wang Teng came to kill Lu Yang, if Xiao Liang hadn't taken that bullet for Lu Yang, Lu Yang would have died long ago. Lu Yang owed Xiao Liang a life.

But Lu Yang really couldn't remember doing anything that made him so worthy of Xiao Liang's sacrifice.

Reborn in this life, the first person Lu Yang wanted to find was Xiao Liang. After washing up, Lu Yang changed his clothes, took his bank card, and bought another virtual reality helmet near the school. Lu Yang walked towards Xiao Liang's home in the Urban Village.

The Urban Village was synonymous with dilapidation and poverty. The people who lived here were all at the bottom of society, and the term described it very accurately. There were only dilapidated bungalows here, and buildings were very rare.

Lu Yang weaved through the streets and came to the outside of a dilapidated brick courtyard. This was Xiao Liang's home.

Lu Yang was about to enter when he suddenly heard a burst of angry scolding from inside the courtyard.

"Kid, are you looking for a beating? I told you to bring 50 yuan today, where's the money?"

"I don't have it. If you don't have it, won't you steal it? If you don't steal, are you looking for a beating?"

The voice was familiar. Lu Yang flipped over and jumped into the courtyard, just in time to see a group of people beating up a teenager. This teenager was Xiao Liang.

"Stop it," Lu Yang shouted.

The group of people turned around and saw that it was Lu Yang, and they burst into laughter.

"Oh, another one here to give us money. Good luck today." The leader, a man with pockmarks on his face, stepped on Xiao Liang's face and said, "Lu Yang, I haven't seen you in a while. Do you have any money? If you have 100 yuan, I'll let you go today."

Lu Yang recognized the person speaking in front of him. Although he hadn't seen him in fifteen years, this person had left a deep impression on Lu Yang. His name was Guan Dahai, and he was a hoodlum in this area, about 10 years older than Lu Yang and his friends. He used to bully Lu Yang, Xiao Liang, and others because he was stronger than them when they were kids.

Lu Yang was relatively smart and could always avoid Guan Dahai, but this time, Lu Yang wasn't planning on hiding.

"Guan Dahai, I'm telling you to let Xiao Liang go," Lu Yang said.

"Oh, this kid actually dares to order me around." Guan Dahai's gangster spirit came up. Without letting anyone else follow, he walked towards Lu Yang alone.

"Kid, haven't been beaten recently, your skin's itching, isn't it?" Guan Dahai walked up to Lu Yang and kicked him.

Just as Guan Dahai was fantasizing about kicking Lu Yang flying, Guan Dahai suddenly felt a burst of stuffiness in his chest. When he looked again, he saw that Lu Yang had turned to the side, and at the same time, a beautiful spinning back kick accurately hit his chest.

Although Lu Yang had just exercised and didn't have much strength, the force brought by the rotation of his 140-pound weight was not something an ordinary person could withstand. Guan Dahai clutched his chest and knelt on the ground.

The other hoodlums were watching the show, thinking about how Guan Dahai would beat up Lu Yang. They didn't expect Guan Dahai to be knocked down by Lu Yang for some reason. Immediately, the other four hoodlums became anxious and rushed towards Lu Yang with glaring eyes.

"Lu Yang, you motherfucker are looking for…"

Before the words could come out, a brick slammed into the hoodlum's face. Xiao Liang just happened to look up at this time and saw Lu Yang ducking under the first hoodlum's fist, then accurately hitting the second hoodlum's cheek with the stone in his hand.

Then, he kicked the third hoodlum's knee joint, and the third hoodlum fell to the ground with a scream.

The first hoodlum looked back and saw that the three people who had rushed over with him were all lying on the ground, unable to move. He looked at Lu Yang with fear in his eyes.

"You, what did you just do?"

Lu Yang picked up a brick from the ground, stared at the hoodlum without saying a word, and walked towards him step by step.

The hoodlum was already scared out of his wits. Faced with Lu Yang's bloodthirsty eyes, he was so frightened that he collapsed, screamed, and turned around to run away.

Guan Dahai happened to recover and saw this scene, and cursed, "Why are you running? Come back here."

Unfortunately, the other party didn't dare to turn around at all.

"Damn it, a bunch of trash." Guan Dahai clutched his chest, stood up, and turned to look for Lu Yang. He felt that Lu Yang was a bit strange today. He wanted to leave a harsh word and find someone to deal with him another day, but before he could speak, a whooshing sound came.

"Bang~!"

The brick accurately hit Guan Dahai's cheek, knocking Guan Dahai to the ground. He touched it with his hand, and blood flowed like a river.
