Underground Boxing King (1)

Pei Shao ran faster and faster, but before he had even sprinted ten meters, he heard an "Ow!" His foot caught on something, his body tilted, and like a grasshopper that had lost its balance, he was flung helplessly into the air. His hands clawed wildly, while his head flew straight toward the steel plate.

"Ah, no!" Dongfang Yinyin cried out, her face filled with terror.

"That's way too exaggerated!" A Zheng and Zhang Huaiyuan both revealed shocked expressions. Cui Jianhao had not expected that one trip would lead to such an unfortunate coincidence—Pei Shao's entire head was hurtling toward the steel plate. If he struck it solidly, no one could guarantee whether Pei Shao's life would be in danger!

This joke had gone too far!

Cui Jianhao's face instantly turned pale with fright! Dongfang Yinyin, meanwhile, reacted with remarkable speed. Throwing caution to the wind, she leaped off the steel plate, trying to catch Pei Shao in midair and stop his momentum.

But Dongfang Yinyin had acted in too much of a hurry to prepare herself, while Pei Shao was charging far too fast. With a dull thud, Pei Shao's entire body crashed into Dongfang Yinyin's embrace, his head instantly pressing into her soft, dove-like breasts! At the same time, both his hands wrapped around her slender waist!

Unable to steady herself, Dongfang Yinyin was driven rapidly backward along with Pei Shao! The protruding sharp tip of the steel plate was about to slam into her delicate body. If that blow landed solidly, even if it did not kill her on the spot, it would certainly leave her waist crippled for life! She would never be able to practice martial arts again!

"How did this happen?" A Zheng and Zhang Huaiyuan both wore pained expressions, unable to bear watching any longer.

Cui Jianhao regretted it so much his guts practically turned green.

His body began to tremble slightly, and regret covered his face.

But just as Dongfang Yinyin's body was about to have an intimate encounter with the steel plate, Pei Shao's momentum had already been checked. Seeing the danger behind her, he suddenly let out a roar, shouting into Dongfang Yinyin's ear like a thunderous awakening: "Hold on tight!"

Dongfang Yinyin had no time to think. Instinctively, she immediately hugged Pei Shao tightly.

Then, in that critical instant, Pei Shao fiercely twisted his waist and completely switched positions with Dongfang Yinyin, using his own body to take the blow meant for her!

Then Pei Shao shoved hard, pushing Dongfang Yinyin away. But the rebounding force sent Pei Shao crashing into the sharp corner of the steel plate at even greater speed!

Damn it, I'm going all in!

The thought flashed through Pei Shao's mind, and then, with a deafening bang, every steel plate was snapped in half by his collision!

For that moment, everyone froze as though they had been punched in the face!

But it was not over yet! Just as everyone thought their eyes were playing tricks on them, Pei Shao took advantage of their stunned silence and, under Castle's direction, slammed a heavy punch into the steel plate split in two on the left. Then, as if a violent explosion had erupted, bang!

Everyone present felt as though the entire room shook violently.

Then the steel plate struck by Pei Shao's heavy punch shattered with a crack into countless small pieces, all of which fell to the ground.

Zhang Huaiyuan and A Zheng stared with their eyes wide open. Dongfang Yinyin involuntarily covered her mouth, unable to make another sound. Cui Jianhao was just short of collapsing on the spot!

This sort of special effect could only be seen in movies. Anyone else in his place would probably have been just as shocked and terrified!

"Th-this... this..." Watching Pei Shao walk toward him while dusting off his hands, Cui Jianhao tried his best to remain calm, but his teeth began chattering uncontrollably! An illusion. This has to be an illusion... A voice in his heart repeated the thought over and over.

Naturally, Pei Shao could not hear his thoughts. He walked straight up to him and looked at him without any expression. Yet that expressionlessness made it impossible for Cui Jianhao to see him as nothing more than an ordinary servant as he had before. He felt his legs beginning to tremble.

Pei Shao stared at him for a while, just about to speak, when Dongfang Yinyin seemed to snap out of a dream and hurried over. Under the dumbfounded gazes of A Zheng and Zhang Huaiyuan, she suddenly grabbed Pei Shao's arm and asked with great concern, "A Shao... are you all right? That's wonderful, you're really all right!"

As she spoke, Dongfang Yinyin blushed and spontaneously gave him a hug. Zhang Huaiyuan and the other two nearly had their eyes pop out of their heads.

However, after only a light embrace, Dongfang Yinyin quickly coughed and ran off again.

"A Shao, thank you for saving me just now. If it hadn't been for you, I'm afraid I would never have been able to practice martial arts again for the rest of my life!" No one could imagine how important martial arts were to Dongfang Yinyin, so Pei Shao's actions had earned her heartfelt gratitude. It was not necessarily what Cui Jianhao and the others imagined.

Pei Shao looked at Cui Jianhao and the others, raising his brows to indicate that he had done it.

Cui Jianhao secretly gritted his teeth so hard they nearly shattered, but he finally regained some of his senses. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "What kind of martial art was that? How could you shatter such thick steel plates with one punch?"

Hearing Cui Jianhao's question, the jealous A Zheng and Zhang Huaiyuan immediately turned their attention toward Pei Shao as well, chiming in, "That's right! I don't believe that no matter how strong someone is, they can do something like that! And you actually cracked steel plates with your waist? Is... is that possible?"

Before Pei Shao could speak, Dongfang Yinyin spoke up beside him as though repaying him for saving her life. "Just because you can't do it doesn't mean he can't. Haven't you realized by now that he is Pei Shao, the one who defeated me with his own hands yesterday? He is my master now!" As she said this, perhaps even Dongfang Yinyin herself had not realized that she no longer doubted Pei Shao's strength at all. There was an overwhelming possibility that he was stronger than she was.

"Master?" The three of them were stunned once again.

Pei Shao had actually thought of a name for this technique beforehand, so he answered naturally, "Of course, it's hard qigong and Soft Fist. Hehe, don't tell me you've never heard of them?"

In front of Dongfang Yinyin, Cui Jianhao and the other two could not be sure whether something called Soft Fist truly existed in the world. But they had heard of hard qigong, and seeing Pei Shao's utterly serious expression, they could only force themselves to say, "We've heard of it, but..."

"It's enough that you've heard of it!" Pei Shao immediately cut them off. Turning to Cui Jianhao again, he said, "Now that I've done it, can you fulfill the promise you made earlier?"
