This was a large estate.
Led by a servant, Gu Qing crossed the luxurious courtyard and entered the estate.
Inside was a fully equipped, spacious training room.
At that moment, someone was practicing his punches in the training room.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
His fists struck the specially made sandbag like cannonballs.
Every blow produced a heavy, muffled thud.
Now and then, he used elbow strikes and knee blows. His movements flowed smoothly, yet carried a fierce brutality!
Smack!
The specially made sandbag finally could no longer withstand the force.
It was sent flying and burst apart in midair!
The man wore a short shirt, his muscles bulging beneath his dark skin. He had the air of a hardened fighter.
And his strength was indeed not to be underestimated.
Yet Gu Qing ignored him entirely and instead turned his gaze toward the old man in the lounge area, seated in a chair and drinking tea.
Shama Payakarong!
This man was the target of Gu Qing's visit.
For certain special reasons, most of the participants in the Number One Martial Arts Tournament Under Heaven had practiced traditional martial arts.
There were not many true combat fighters.
Since he had confirmed that National Martial Arts did not exist in this world, Gu Qing could only settle for the next best thing and study fighting techniques.
He had first sought out many genuine fighting masters in China to learn from, then traveled through Japan and Korea as well as several other countries.
While studying Wado-ryu Karate in Japan, he had learned of Shama Payakarong through the recommendation of karate master Naoya Kuroda.
This man was a legend in the Muay Thai world.
Perhaps many great figures had to endure physical hardship to achieve something.
Just like the deaf Beethoven, Shama Payakarong had been deemed unfit to learn Muay Thai by everyone since childhood because of his physical condition.
Yet he never gave up. He practiced diligently day after day, year after year.
At last, his efforts were rewarded.
Shama was especially renowned for his leg techniques and had earned the nickname Heart-Piercing Leg when he was young.
Later, he won the highest honor in the Muay Thai world—the K-1 Champion title!
Gu Qing strode forward.
But halfway there, he was stopped by the young Muay Thai expert.
He was not even as heavily built as Gu Qing.
Yet he radiated a fierce, vicious aura.
He was actually evenly matched with Gu Qing, who was suppressing his Telekinesis and Magnetic Field Power!
"If you want to see my master, you'll have to get past me first!"
Gu Qing glanced at Shama.
The old man continued to sip his tea calmly, as though he had seen nothing.
Gu Qing immediately understood what this meant.
He had already gone through quite a few tests like this before.
They were all experts in their respective fields. Although that karate master had already spoken to Shama about him—
Hearsay was nothing compared to seeing for oneself.
Shama still intended to test Gu Qing's measure.
"You're Sompa, right? In that case, let's fight!"
Before coming here, Gu Qing had gathered some basic intelligence.
Sompa, the man before him, was known as the new generation's Muay Thai king and had won championship belts in many fighting competitions.
Some said the student had surpassed the master!
His future achievements might even exceed those of his master, Shama!
The two stepped onto a nearby ring.
There was no need for excessive talk between men. Their fists would do the talking!
With all his superpowers suppressed, Gu Qing was not much different from an ordinary person.
He used only the fighting techniques he had learned recently as he fought Sompa.
The two clashed continuously, producing a series of dull impacts in the air.
At first, Shama appeared somewhat unconcerned. Yet the longer he watched, the more shocked he became!
In less than ten minutes—
His disciple Sompa was defeated.
Shama's face filled with excitement.
He stepped forward and asked, "Did you really only start learning combat three months ago?"
Gu Qing nodded. "That's right."
Shama looked Gu Qing up and down. "A genius! An absolute, heaven-sent genius!
No wonder Kuroda recommended you so highly. Even my Chinese friends, who think very highly of themselves, couldn't stop praising you!
You exchanged barely over a hundred moves with Sompa just now, yet you successively used Sanda, Shaolin Fist, Jeet Kune Do, karate, Taekwondo, Judo, and other techniques.
What is even more astounding is that you have integrated them so thoroughly. You used them without the slightest awkwardness.
Forget three months—even someone who had immersed themselves in martial arts for thirty or forty years might not be able to do this!"
Gu Qing smiled faintly. Others could not do it, but that did not mean he could not.
In truth, Gu Qing was not some combat genius himself.
The reason he could master so many styles of fighting in such a short time was mainly thanks to—World-Shaking Wisdom!
Theoretically, every Magnetic Field Master possessed World-Shaking Wisdom.
The higher the level of Magnetic Field Rotation, the faster the mind could turn.
That was why everyone with powerful Magnetic Field Power could easily become a scientist!
(P.S.: As everyone knew, the upper limit of a character's intelligence depended on the author's own intelligence.
So just treat World-Shaking Wisdom as a cheat for whenever brainpower was needed.
For example, learning certain skills—driving cars, piloting planes, operating tanks, even commanding warships—could all be mastered quickly. The same applied to combat techniques, Martial Arts, and so on.
As for plots involving flawless schemes, complete control of the situation, or battles of wits with others, that was truly asking too much of the author. It definitely couldn't be done. Most of the time, Magnetic Field Masters relied not on wisdom, but on their fists!)
Florida.
Inside a CIA base.
Matt's expression was resolute as he constantly dodged and shifted.
It was clear that his footwork had improved enormously.
At the very least, he was no longer relying purely on brute force to charge headlong through everything.
In the blink of an eye, he passed every assessment.
Clap! Clap!
Torres could not help applauding.
"I never expected that in just three months, you would reach this level.
Even top agents might not be able to complete these tests without using superpowers.
Yet you passed them with ease!"
Matt had not expected himself to possess such talent.
He did not know what World-Shaking Wisdom was, and Gu Qing had never mentioned it.
He only felt that he could learn everything the agents at the base taught him at once and even draw inferences from it.
During physical training and combat training, even with his superpowers suppressed, he could quickly learn and absorb everything his instructors taught him.
"I can set off now, right?"
Torres nodded, but there was a trace of heaviness on his face.
Over this period, Matt had grown quite close to Torres.
Noticing that something was wrong with his mood, he asked with concern, "Director Torres, what's wrong?"
Torres sighed. "I never told you because I was afraid it would affect your training.
For some reason, Andrew Detmer learned of your whereabouts.
To force you out, he destroyed every military base we had established in the Middle East.
In just three months, he caused us losses of at least a hundred billion! Tens of thousands of innocent soldiers and staff members were killed!"
Matt was instantly shocked and enraged!
His eyes split wide with fury!
"Damn Andrew! You animal! I'll never forgive you!!!"
