Revenge Never Waits Overnight

The Force Martial Arts Gym had locations all over the world. It was an organization created by the Warrior Association for Force warriors, intended to recruit every warrior who had awakened their Force and guide them toward greater heights. Its president, Long Zhan, had an unknown gene count. Rumor had it that he had cultivated his body to the point where he could traverse the void of the universe, a realm beyond human comprehension.

"Why did you bring me to the Force Martial Arts Gym?" Standing before the Suhang City Force Martial Arts Gym, Meng Xuanxuan asked Tang Yu in confusion.

"Didn't you say Yuan Chengkong had won ten consecutive matches in the underground boxing ring?" Tang Yu said with a smile.

"The underground boxing ring is inside the Force Martial Arts Gym!"

"What? How is that possible? Doesn't the government care?" Meng Xuanxuan's face was full of disbelief. How could a sacred place like the Force Martial Arts Gym possibly hide an underground boxing ring?

"Let's go." Tang Yu ignored her and headed straight inside.

"Look, look! It's that madman!"

"What madman?"

"The madman who punched straight through someone's chest in the ring!"

The moment they entered the gym, someone recognized Tang Yu, and whispers immediately spread through the crowd. Hearing the trainees' conversation, Meng Xuanxuan felt chills run down her spine. She looked up at Tang Yu, who continued forward calmly. It was him? He punched through someone's chest?

"Xiao Yu, you're here! Oh? You even brought your girlfriend today!"

The man greeting Tang Yu was a middle-aged man around forty named Wang Meng. He was one of the gym's coaches. His gene count had surpassed one hundred, making him an expert in the second stage of Force awakening.

"Haha, Brother Wang, you're joking. This is my classmate, Meng Xuanxuan. She's not my girlfriend."

Wang Meng did not mind. He merely teased with a grin. "Such a pretty girl, and you're not going after her? What a waste!"

Meng Xuanxuan's little face flushed bright red, and she was too embarrassed to say a word.

"So, you brought your girlfriend here to...?" Wang Meng raised his thumb and pointed behind him as he asked Tang Yu.

"Brother Wang really gets me." Tang Yu was about to lead Meng Xuanxuan farther inside when Wang Meng stopped him.

"That Yuan Chengkong from your school has been getting a little out of hand lately. He's already won a hundred thousand yuan here and still won't quit. Ah Long and Ah Qiang just happen to be away these days, and I can't step in myself. So, are you interested in helping your brother here deal with this trouble?"

Tang Yu immediately grinned. It really was like being handed a pillow just as he was getting sleepy.

"He's in there right now?"

"Yeah. He just crippled another kid who didn't know his place. He's as ruthless as you are. If you step in, how about I give you thirty thousand yuan for your trouble?"

Even if Wang Meng had not asked, Tang Yu would have gone looking for Yuan Chengkong. Now there was money to be made as well.

"It's a deal!"

The two followed Wang Meng to an office in the basement. Through the glass, they could see what was happening inside.

Tall stands rose on all four sides, surrounding a large open space in the center. Two fighters were battling within it, and one of them was Yuan Chengkong.

Yuan Chengkong was tall and powerfully built, with fists as large as hammers. At first, his opponent could still use agility to gain a slight advantage, but as the fight continued, the situation grew increasingly unfavorable for him. Yuan Chengkong's fist techniques were relentless and fierce, his breathing steady and deep. Instead of tiring, he grew stronger with every exchange. Seizing an opening, he changed his fist into a claw and viciously grabbed hold. His five fingers were like steel and iron as they plunged straight into his opponent's shoulder. With one savage tear, he nearly ripped off half the man's body. Blood immediately sprayed everywhere, and the man was clearly breathing out more than he was breathing in. People hurriedly rushed forward and carried away the two halves of his body.

Seeing such a bloody scene, Meng Xuanxuan felt her stomach churn violently and immediately began retching.

"Your girlfriend hasn't seen much blood, huh?" Wang Meng did not mean to mock her. He simply found it strange that someone as brutal as Tang Yu would be involved with a girl who looked so delicate and weak.

"Can I go on now?" Tang Yu ignored Wang Meng's remark and only asked that question.

"Go ahead. I've arranged everything for you." Wang Meng waved his hand, signaling that Tang Yu could enter the ring.

"Tang Yu, forget it!" Meng Xuanxuan could still taste stomach acid in her mouth as she spoke. Was it really necessary to fight to the death over an unpleasant encounter?

"I'm not one to hold grudges. If I have a grudge, I settle it on the spot!" Tang Yu said this to Meng Xuanxuan before turning and leaving the room, heading straight for the ring.

"Miss, you should have faith in your boyfriend. Unless it's a Force warrior, no one is a match for him. That's the gym director's assessment." Seeing the worry on Meng Xuanxuan's face, Wang Meng smiled nonchalantly.

"Tang Yu?" Yuan Chengkong was visibly stunned when he saw Tang Yu. He had not expected to encounter him here.

"Yuan Chengkong!" Tang Yu took a deep breath and fixed his gaze on him. Settle today's grudge today—that had always been Tang Yu's way.

The two stared at each other, each seeing the undisguised killing intent in the other's eyes. Both of them had killed before. Who would fear whom?

Tang Yu's body clearly did not move, yet his bones crackled. His skin and muscles rippled as though countless insects were crawling beneath the surface, making him look terrifying.

"I was just wondering how I could teach you a lesson openly and honestly. Never expected you to come right to me!" Yuan Chengkong said as he scratched at the stubble on his chin, his tone openly provocative.

Tang Yu ignored him. He merely stood there in silence, building momentum and ensuring that the instant Yuan Chengkong attacked, he could tear him apart!

"Fight!"

"What are you standing around for?"

"Yuan Chengkong, don't tell me you're scared?"

Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted Yuan Chengkong's name.

Whoosh!

Almost without any time to react, Yuan Chengkong flashed before Tang Yu. His steel fist smashed down at Tang Yu like a meteor crashing to earth.

Faced with Yuan Chengkong's vicious strike, Tang Yu remained expressionless and unmoved. His five right fingers hooked like claws and shot toward Yuan Chengkong's armpit, while he raised his leg and thrust it forward, blocking Yuan Chengkong's underhanded attack at his lower body.

A groin kick, followed by a knee strike! With Yuan Chengkong's strength, even a stone would not have withstood the force of that knee, much less Tang Yu's groin.

The spectators below all gaped in disbelief. They had not expected an expert like Yuan Chengkong to resort to such dirty tricks.

Yuan Chengkong had attacked on two fronts, thinking that even if he could not succeed, he could still make Tang Yu suffer badly. Yet Tang Yu seemed to have anticipated it long ago. A single leg block neutralized Yuan Chengkong's low attack.

Seeing Tang Yu's hand clawing toward him, Yuan Chengkong hurriedly retracted his fist and drove up his elbow, blocking Tang Yu's attack. Though he had temporarily defused it, only Yuan Chengkong knew how unbearable it felt. Tang Yu's five fingers were like powerful pincers, clamping down hard on his elbow. If Yuan Chengkong could not break free, Tang Yu would crush his bones with his finger strength. A force of 1,730 kilograms was no joke!

To save his arm, Yuan Chengkong could only straighten it and wrench himself free. Tang Yu seized that opening and hooked his fingers beneath Yuan Chengkong's armpit.

Yuan Chengkong had planned to unleash his fist techniques after escaping the hold, determined to smash Tang Yu into pulp with the fiercest attacks possible. How could he have known that every shift in his moves had already been seen through by Tang Yu? Step by step, he had walked into the trap Tang Yu had laid before they had even begun fighting.

Having successfully hooked Yuan Chengkong beneath the armpit, Tang Yu's five fingers became like curved blades used to carve flesh. They tore a huge chunk of bloody meat directly from Yuan Chengkong's body. His ribs could even be seen.

"Aooow..." Yuan Chengkong let out a miserable howl. His other hand clawed wildly at Tang Yu's head. He ignored his own injuries, determined to drag Tang Yu down with him even if it meant dying together. A person with a gene count close to one hundred might not have matched Tang Yu in strength, but even a casual grip could crush a human skull. Tang Yu was still human—how could he endure that?

Crack! With a crisp sound, Tang Yu shattered Yuan Chengkong's jaw with a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree upward kick. A mouthful of blood-stained white teeth flew from Yuan Chengkong's mouth as his entire body was sent flying!

Yuan Chengkong's jaw had been shattered. His face was covered in blood, his chin twisted at a grotesque angle. Blood poured from the right side of his chest, exposing his ribs. He lay on the ground like a dead dog, his body twitching every now and then. He was breathing out more than in and was clearly not going to survive. People hurriedly came forward and carried him away.

After leaving the ring, Tang Yu washed the blood off himself and changed into a spare Force Martial Arts Gym trainee uniform at Wang Meng's place before returning to the office.

"Huh? Where did she go?"

In the office, Tang Yu saw only Wang Meng sitting on the sofa. He had no idea where Meng Xuanxuan had run off to.

"There." Wang Meng tilted his head toward the restroom, and Tang Yu vaguely heard Meng Xuanxuan vomiting inside.

"Was that really necessary, kid? He was a person, not some mutant creature. There was no need to be that bloody." Wang Meng shook his head with a bitter smile, inwardly sighing that this kid was simply a violent, murderous maniac.

"Brother Wang, don't you know me by now? Besides, I never intended to let that kid live!" Tang Yu poured himself a glass of water and drank it in one gulp before sitting on the sofa and speaking to Wang Meng.

"He offended you?"

"Yeah. I ran into him while having dinner with Meng Xuanxuan today. I couldn't stand that arrogant, overbearing attitude of his!"

"Then he deserved it for provoking a freak like you!" After hearing Tang Yu's account of what had happened at the Shangri-La Hotel, Wang Meng did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"Tang Yu! You bloody freak, violent lunatic, murderous maniac!" The moment Meng Xuanxuan came out of the restroom and saw Tang Yu chatting cheerfully with Wang Meng, she immediately launched into a furious tirade.

He had just done something so bloody, yet now he could act as though nothing had happened. Was he even human?
