"Wang Dazhuang, please teach me, Coach!"

The moment Chen Sheng agreed, Wang Dazhuang marched forward and stopped a short distance in front of him.

Behind him,

All the other trainees, except Xu Rou, wore expressions of eager anticipation.

The male trainees quickly spread out, clearing space for the sparring match before gathering around the buzz-cut young man.

Only Xu Rou remained where she was, hesitation written across her face.

"Coach Chen, you..."

If Xu Rou remembered correctly, Chen Sheng seemed to be a Qi Sense User.

But judging by the strength he had displayed when they first met,

Chen Sheng seemed rather weak.

He might have been able to handle ordinary people, but dealing with a Qi Sense User would probably be beyond him.

She wanted to speak up and stop them, but before she could finish, another female trainee pulled her back while whispering in her ear about Chen Sheng.

"Xiao Rou, do you think our coach can win?"

"He looks about our age. Who knows how long he's been practicing martial arts?"

"I..."

Xu Rou opened her mouth, about to speak.

But at that moment, Chen Sheng suddenly turned to look at the two of them.

"Seven days."

He smiled as he spoke.

"Huh?" The female trainee froze, exchanging glances with Xu Rou.

Even the others looked baffled, unable to understand what Chen Sheng was suddenly talking about.

"Coach, what seven days?"

Someone asked on the female trainee's behalf.

"I mean, I've only been practicing martial arts for a total of seven days."

"I awakened as a Qi Sense User around that time too."

Chen Sheng answered.

The moment he finished speaking,

The scene fell silent for a brief moment.

The next second, an uproar erupted.

"Seriously?!"

"You've studied martial arts for seven days, and you have the nerve to teach us?"

"Is Captain Li messing with us?"

Some of the more blunt trainees immediately began discussing it.

Although they were speaking to the people beside them, their shock made their voices far from quiet.

The buzz-cut young man, who had said nothing and merely stood with his arms folded, immediately looked out the window.

He keenly noticed that Brother Qiang, the boxing coach, had slapped a hand to his forehead as soon as Chen Sheng said he had only trained for seven days, looking utterly helpless.

It seemed

This new coach was telling the truth.

Realizing this, the buzz-cut young man immediately frowned.

Though he did not voice his complaints like the others around him, he was equally dissatisfied.

A newly awakened Qi Sense User who had only studied martial arts for seven days was here to teach them?

It was simply an insult to them.

In his eyes, Li Chenghu had deliberately found someone to toy with them, intending to dull their edge.

If that was the case, a trace of ruthlessness flashed through the buzz-cut young man's eyes.

"Dazhuang!"

He suddenly called out.

"Don't hold back. Show the coach what we're capable of."

He wanted Captain Li to see that while these rookies might lack experience against Qi Sense Users,

They were not weaklings anyone could push around.

Among all the rookies, the buzz-cut young man was the strongest, so he had become the backbone of the male trainees.

At those words, Wang Dazhuang's eyes lit up, his chest muscles trembling with excitement.

"No problem, Brother Liu!"

He pounded his fists against his chest twice, producing two dull thuds.

Wang Dazhuang looked at Chen Sheng and grinned.

"Coach, I'm only an ordinary Level Ten Qi Sense User, and I've practiced throws and takedowns for two months. Naturally, I can't compare to your seven days of martial arts experience. Please go easy on me later."

He extended both hands into claws and lowered his body slightly.

His words dripped with mockery.

"It's fine."

Chen Sheng paid it no mind. He smiled gently and assumed the San Ti Stance.

The battle between the two was about to begin.

But at that moment, the female trainee beside Xu Rou was still doubting herself.

"Xiao Rou, was I talking that loudly just now?"

She clearly remembered leaning close to Xu Rou's ear to whisper.

Even the male trainees beside them had not heard her, so why had Chen Sheng suddenly answered?

Xu Rou's gaze remained fixed on the field, and she was equally puzzled.

Could the coach actually be far more formidable than he seemed? Before she could figure it out, Wang Dazhuang launched the first attack.

Thud! He pushed off the ground, keeping his body low as he lunged at Chen Sheng.

His target was Chen Sheng's legs.

As long as he controlled his opponent's lower body, no matter how capable the enemy was, he could only let Wang Dazhuang do as he pleased.

Facing the lunging Wang Dazhuang,

Chen Sheng did not move at all, as though he had been scared stiff.

Seeing this,

A trace of disdain flashed through the buzz-cut young man's eyes.

This so-called coach probably did not even have any real combat experience.

He could practically see Chen Sheng being taken down by one of Wang Dazhuang's bear hugs and sent straight to the hospital.

Even Brother Qiang outside the window looked anxious at the sight, hurriedly rushing into the training hall.

"Hey, you—"

Brother Qiang stretched out a hand, trying to stop Wang Dazhuang.

But at that moment,

Smack! A sharp crack suddenly exploded, drowning out Brother Qiang's voice.

A short figure shot into the air.

The next second, the figure crashed heavily down,

Slamming into the training hall floor.

Thud! The dull impact echoed through the training hall.

Who am I? Where am I? What just happened? He stared blankly at the ceiling, his mind filled with question marks.

But before he could make sense of it, Wang Dazhuang's eyes rolled back.

He passed out on the spot.

"Does anyone else need me to demonstrate?"

Chen Sheng slowly withdrew his stance and smiled at the trainees around him.

A Level Ten Qi Sense User like Wang Dazhuang was far too weak for him now.

Not only did Chen Sheng completely crush him in physical ability, he also utterly outclassed him in combat technique.

This outcome was exactly as Chen Sheng had expected.

But no one else could remain as calm as he was.

After speaking, Chen Sheng swept his gaze around.

Silence.

Deathly silence.

The entire training hall was so quiet that even a pin dropping to the floor would have been clearly audible.

Brother Qiang remained frozen with one hand outstretched, standing there like a statue.

At that moment,

He was questioning his entire life.

Force projection—that was force projection, right?!

That kid surnamed Chen reached force projection after only three or four days without seeing him?

And he could knock out a Level Ten Qi Sense User with a single punch? Brother Qiang even began to wonder whether he had developed dementia.

It looked as if only three or four days had passed, but in reality, perhaps an entire year had gone by.

Otherwise, he simply could not think of any explanation for what he had just witnessed.

As for the trainees around him, they looked even worse.

The buzz-cut young man was doing relatively better. His eyes were merely wide open, and his folded arms had unconsciously fallen apart.

The others had their mouths hanging wide enough to swallow a fist as they stared blankly at Chen Sheng.

Clap! Clap!

Seeing that no one was responding, Chen Sheng helplessly clapped twice.

Only then did the crowd snap out of their shock.

The once-silent training hall erupted into noise again.

"What the hell was that thing that flashed past?"

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? I just turned my head for a second—how did Wang Dazhuang end up lying on the floor?"

Some were stunned, while others quickly ran to Wang Dazhuang's side to check on him.

"Don't worry. I didn't use my full strength. He just fainted."

Chen Sheng explained at the right moment.

Yet it had the opposite effect.

When the trainees examining Wang Dazhuang heard that, they could not help but shudder.

That was him not using his full strength?

If he did, would Wang Dazhuang's head not explode? They did not dare reply, merely lowering their heads as they quickly carried Wang Dazhuang to the side.

"Brother Qiang... could you stop standing there? I'm about to start class."

"Oh, right, right."

Brother Qiang snapped out of his daze and walked out the door with a vacant expression.

"If there's nothing else, shall we begin class?"

Chen Sheng turned back to look at the trainees.

"Coach!"

But at that moment, another arm rose from the crowd.

It belonged to the buzz-cut young man, the strongest of the rookies.

He stared intently at Chen Sheng, his eyes filled with fervent fighting spirit.

"Coach, I'd also like you to demonstrate."
