I Want That Spot Too

Early the next morning, Wang Tianyu got out of bed on time.

Perhaps it was because young people recovered their strength quickly.

Or perhaps Mother Wang's supplements had done some good.

When Wang Tianyu got up that morning, he once again felt his entire body brimming with strength.

After breakfast at home, Wang Tianyu headed to the Martial Arts Building.

"Huh?"

Wang Tianyu's performance today was particularly eye-catching.

The transitions between Wang Tianyu's moves and the timing of his variations were all just right.

Wang Tianyu's performance made Su Pengfei's eyes light up.

"Very good, very impressive!"

Wang Tianyu's performance yesterday could only be considered average, but today, he immediately caught Su Pengfei's attention.

Su Pengfei was in a fine mood. If a talent emerged from the Martial Arts Class he led, it would benefit him as well.

The better the Martial Arts Class students performed on the college entrance examination, the better the rewards instructors like Su Pengfei could receive.

However, that was not what pleased Su Pengfei the most.

What delighted Su Pengfei was that he had discovered two promising cultivation seedlings in the Martial Arts Class.

The appearance of these two seedlings gave him greater confidence in his wager with Gao Bin.

Twenty Energy Stones was no small sum to Su Pengfei, and he naturally had to find a way to win this bet.

As for why Wang Tianyu had improved so much, Su Pengfei did not think too deeply about it.

"Perhaps it was his first time training in a fist technique, so he was too nervous yesterday and performed poorly."

"Or perhaps he was exceptionally gifted, and I simply failed to notice it yesterday."

In any case, Su Pengfei instinctively came up with reasons for Wang Tianyu.

"You two, come over here."

After this round of training ended, Su Pengfei called Wang Tianyu and Deng Rensheng over.

Wang Tianyu and Deng Rensheng were the two cultivation seedlings Su Pengfei had discovered.

After checking the two men's punching-force results, the smile on Su Pengfei's face deepened.

Wang Tianyu and Deng Rensheng happened to rank first and second in the punching-force test.

Now, their progress in practicing the "Basic Fist Technique" was also faster than everyone else's. The two could be said to possess both talent and comprehension.

The "Basic Fist Technique" was a skill, but it still required strength to support it.

If one's own strength was too low, then even if one's technique was slightly better, that advantage would not be obvious.

Now, Deng Rensheng and Wang Tianyu perfectly fulfilled both conditions.

"I've taken a look. You two have made the best progress in training. Now, I need to choose one person to represent me in that wager. Do either of you have any objections?"

As soon as Su Pengfei finished speaking, before Deng Rensheng and Wang Tianyu could reply—

Another boy below spoke up. "Instructor, this isn't fair."

The boy's words darkened Su Pengfei's expression.

"Not fair? Are you questioning my judgment? Fine, then I'll give you fairness. Go on and let him show you why I didn't choose you."

With an unhappy look on his face, Su Pengfei had Deng Rensheng step out and spar with the boy.

For this boy who dared question his judgment, Su Pengfei decided to teach him a proper lesson.

"Instructor, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to say..."

Ignoring the boy's explanation, Su Pengfei said directly, "Make some room for them."

At his words, the crowd that had been gathered together immediately spread apart, clearing an open space for the two.

"Zhou Fei, come on. Let's have a little spar."

The boy who had called it unfair was named Zhou Fei. His punching-force test had also exceeded 300 kg.

Deng Rensheng still had the bearing of a sunny young man.

Even though Su Pengfei had demanded that Zhou Fei be taught a lesson, Deng Rensheng still conducted himself with great poise.

"This Zhou Fei really doesn't know what's good for him. Does he not know his own weight?"

"He's in for it now. I remember Zhou Fei only scored 300 kg in the punching-force test, almost half less than Deng Rensheng. He's probably going to get beaten badly."

"He brought it upon himself. Without a diamond drill, he still wants to force his way through. He's clearly been blinded by money."

Zhou Fei's family circumstances were not good either, and he also had his eyes on the Energy Stones worth one million.

Though speaking up had offended Su Pengfei somewhat, Zhou Fei could no longer care about that.

Hearing Deng Rensheng's words, Zhou Fei did not stand on ceremony. He threw a punch straight at Deng Rensheng.

Ignoring the discussions of those around him, Wang Tianyu began watching the spar between the two.

Seeing Zhou Fei charge over, Deng Rensheng smiled faintly, then launched forward with moves from the "Basic Fist Technique."

The two traded blows back and forth, putting on quite a lively fight.

However, Wang Tianyu could tell that Deng Rensheng was holding back. He had not used his full strength against Zhou Fei.

Deng Rensheng had completely treated this place as his personal stage, while Zhou Fei had become the supporting "punching bag."

"Bang!"

After fighting for around three minutes, Deng Rensheng finally landed a punch on Zhou Fei's shoulder.

"You let me win!"

Deng Rensheng clasped his fists and smiled as he nodded to Zhou Fei.

"Hmph!"

Zhou Fei, who had climbed up from the ground, let out a cold snort.

Deng Rensheng's performance had gone too far. He was completely using Zhou Fei to display his own strength.

Deng Rensheng had certainly stolen enough of the spotlight, but Zhou Fei, as his foil, had been reduced to a clown.

Under such circumstances, there was no way Zhou Fei would give Deng Rensheng a pleasant look.

"Does anyone else think it's unfair?"

Seeing Deng Rensheng win the match, Su Pengfei continued questioning the crowd.

Su Pengfei was not particularly satisfied with Deng Rensheng's performance.

Su Pengfei had made his intentions so obvious, yet Deng Rensheng had not acted as he wished.

Su Pengfei had intended for Deng Rensheng to win as quickly as possible, intimidating everyone else and proving that his judgment was discerning.

But Deng Rensheng had dawdled around, failing to end the fight cleanly and decisively. It had completely failed to achieve the effect Su Pengfei wanted.

Su Pengfei swept his gaze around. Seeing that no more hotheaded fools dared step forward, he continued, "You two are among the more outstanding ones in this group. But I will only choose the very best to fight this match for me. You understand what I mean, right?"

As Su Pengfei's words fell, Wang Tianyu and Deng Rensheng both nodded at the same time.

The meaning behind Su Pengfei's words was simple: Wang Tianyu and Deng Rensheng still needed to determine who was stronger.

Wang Tianyu looked at Deng Rensheng, silently assessing his strength.

Meeting Wang Tianyu's gaze, Deng Rensheng smiled and nodded at him.

"All right, you two should spar as well. Don't hold back. Show your true strength."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Wang Tianyu and Deng Rensheng stepped into the open space in the middle.

"Brother Wang, I really need this spot, so I won't be polite."

Deng Rensheng still wore that calm, unruffled expression, only this time, Wang Tianyu was the one standing before him.

Hearing Deng Rensheng's words, Wang Tianyu replied directly.

"I need this spot too. Then let's each rely on our own ability!"

Securing the spot to compete, then winning the match and obtaining the Energy Stones.

That was Wang Tianyu's set goal. He did not care whether Deng Rensheng was merely being polite; in any case, Wang Tianyu had no intention of holding back.

Wang Tianyu assumed his stance and took the initiative to attack Deng Rensheng.

It was the exact same choice Zhou Fei had made, but the result was completely different.

The instant Wang Tianyu rushed forward, Deng Rensheng also used moves from the "Basic Fist Technique" to respond.

At this moment, Wang Tianyu had already completely mastered the second level of the "Basic Fist Technique."

Deng Rensheng, meanwhile, was only at the first level. This allowed Wang Tianyu to spot the flaw in Deng Rensheng's moves at a glance.

Seeing Deng Rensheng's obvious opening, Wang Tianyu accelerated.

Wang Tianyu's upper body twisted to the right.

That single twist allowed Wang Tianyu to evade Deng Rensheng's punch aimed at his face.

After dodging Deng Rensheng's punch, Wang Tianyu clenched his right fist and began exerting force from below upward.

Wang Tianyu's punch came too quickly, leaving Deng Rensheng no chance to dodge.

With the speed of lightning, too swift to cover one's ears, Wang Tianyu's punch slammed heavily into Deng Rensheng's stomach.

Wang Tianyu's punch carried tremendous force. Deng Rensheng's body actually lifted upward after taking it before crashing heavily to the ground.

"One move! Wang Tianyu actually knocked Deng Rensheng down in one move. How strong is he?"

"My goodness, that was Deng Rensheng! A genius with 500 kg punching force, and he was that helpless?"

"How heavy do you think Wang Tianyu's punch was? I saw Deng Rensheng get knocked into the air."

"How heavy? Just look at the guy on the ground and you'll know."

Seeing Deng Rensheng get instantly defeated in one move, the crowd broke into a buzzing discussion.

Deng Rensheng, sprawled on the ground, looked like a giant shrimp. His body was curled up as he clutched his abdomen with both hands.

With a face full of pain, Deng Rensheng writhed about on the ground and groaned repeatedly. One could imagine just how much force Wang Tianyu's punch had carried.

"Xiaolei, take him to the medical room upstairs and have him checked."

Seeing Wang Tianyu decisively knock Deng Rensheng down, Su Pengfei could barely conceal the delight on his face.

"The rest of you continue training. Wang Tianyu, come with me."

Ignoring the injured Deng Rensheng, Su Pengfei turned his attention to Wang Tianyu.

Watching Wang Tianyu leave behind Su Pengfei, Deng Rensheng, who was being helped to his feet, had eyes filled with venomous resentment.
