Jiang Tian's Shock

More than an hour passed, and Yang Sheng was already drenched in sweat.

Every punch was thrown with all his strength, allowing his power to be fully released.

But the side effect of this method was enormous consumption. He got hungry quickly.

He walked to the dining area, picked up the large bowl from earlier, and downed another two heaping bowls.

Half of the medicinal meal that had originally filled an entire tray was now gone.

The owner of Skysea Boxing Gym was stunned once again.

He was starting to regret agreeing to those terms.

Still, recruiting Yang Sheng to box had produced excellent publicity.

Yang Sheng's punches were methodical and precise, as textbook-standard as could be.

Especially when he gathered strength for a heavy punch, his entire body moved as one. He stored up his power before striking, creating an exceptional sense of beauty.

Many people in the gym stopped practicing and simply stood to the side, watching Yang Sheng box.

Many passersby were drawn inside as well.

Seeing Yang Sheng throw a punch that sent the heavy sandbag swinging wildly, some people even cheered from the side.

Before he knew it, another hour and a half had passed.

Yang Sheng was hungry.

Yang Sheng ate another half of the remaining medicinal meal.

Sensing that something was wrong, the Skysea owner hurriedly contacted the kitchen and told them to work at top speed to prepare another two trays.

The result was that Yang Sheng ate five medicinal meals within six hours.

But his effect in drawing customers was also incredibly good.

Compared to yesterday, the number of people buying memberships at Skysea Boxing Gym had directly doubled because of Yang Sheng.

When it was over, the Skysea owner took out two hundred dollars and handed it to Yang Sheng.

Yang Sheng was stunned. "Didn't you say the pay was fifty dollars?"

The Skysea owner said, "Business was great today. The extra is your commission."

Yang Sheng thought for a moment, then pulled out one hundred dollars and handed it back.

"I ate quite a bit of your medicinal food today. Consider this payment for the meals."

After saying that, Yang Sheng turned and left.

The Skysea owner remained where he was, somewhat stunned, watching Yang Sheng's back disappear around the corner.

He chuckled.

"What a strange kid."

Over the next two days, Yang Sheng remained immersed in practicing his boxing at Skysea Boxing Gym.

His cultivation also improved greatly.

[Bright Force (35/500)]

Although he still ate a lot, the business was simply too good to be affected.

A man and a woman appeared outside Skysea Boxing Gym, drawing everyone's attention.

The man was middle-aged. Nearly two meters tall, with bulging muscles, he looked like an iron tower and made a powerful visual impression.

The other was a girl with a high ponytail, dressed in the training uniform of Bay City Martial Arts High School. Her delicate oval face, one-meter-seventy-five height, and capable figure made her stand out even more.

"Liu Chang, I heard from your junior brother that this newly opened Skysea Boxing Gym is fully self-service. They even hired a strange young man to box in the gym, and he's attracted quite a crowd these past two days."

"Most of Bay City's young talents have entered our school. Although Li Yan has already caught up to our class monitor Wang Chao, Teacher, you don't need to start worrying this early, do you?"

The middle-aged man Liu Chang called teacher stared at the Skysea Boxing Gym sign.

"That fellow Zhao Huan has poured all the resources allocated to his class into Li Yan.

"He even dismissed some students on his own without the school's approval. Not only do I disdain such behavior, none of the other homeroom teachers would agree with it either.

"I came today not because I wanted to find a genius capable of opposing Li Yan. It's mainly because you and Wang Chao are already in your senior year, while the school has no successors coming up behind you."

As they spoke, the two entered the gym.

Seeing the aura naturally emanating from them, everyone in the gym moved aside.

When the middle-aged man came closer and saw Yang Sheng throwing several punches with precise form, his eyes immediately lit up.

Outsiders watched the excitement, while experts watched the technique.

To ordinary people who had never entered the path, Yang Sheng's boxing was aesthetically pleasing, standard, and beautiful.

But to an expert, Yang Sheng's foundation was extremely solid. The important thing in boxing was not the striking fist, but the coordinated movement of the entire body, beginning from the feet and rising upward.

"His horse stance is solid, his transitions are smooth, and most importantly, he has excellent control over his own strength. That's the sign of Lesser Completion of Bright Force. But there's one rather strange thing."

The middle-aged man rubbed his chin and said to Yang Sheng, "Student, which school are you from? You've already reached Lesser Completion of Bright Force, so why are you still practicing basic boxing? Where are your techniques?"

Hearing the man's voice, Yang Sheng stopped.

When he saw Liu Chang beside him in the Bay City Martial Arts High School training uniform, Yang Sheng vaguely remembered her. He seemed to have seen her give a speech onstage during the school assembly.

Liu Chang explained to Yang Sheng, "This is Jiang Tian, a senior-year homeroom teacher at Bay City Martial Arts High School."

A trace of respect immediately rose in Yang Sheng's heart.

There was no other reason. The name Jiang Tian, homeroom teacher of the High-Aspiration Class at Bay City Martial Arts High School, was often heard around him.

He had once trained several outstanding talents, all of whom later reached the level of Astral Martial Artists. They had killed alien races in the Outer Regions and earned tremendous military achievements.

"I'm Yang Sheng, a student of Bay City Martial Arts High School. I've never practiced any techniques."

Jiang Tian frowned slightly.

"Who is your homeroom teacher?"

Bay City Martial Arts High School attached great importance to high-level students. Every student who reached Lesser Completion of Bright Force would be taught suitable martial arts techniques.

Yang Sheng answered, "Zhao Huan."

Hearing that name, Jiang Tian immediately understood.

"Zhao Huan is probably the only person in the entire school who could do something like this. It's perfectly normal for him not to recognize talent."

Then Yang Sheng added, "He used to be my homeroom teacher. Two days ago, the school notified me that I'd been dismissed."

A trace of surprise flashed through Jiang Tian's eyes.

"You're a Lower Registry student?"

"I'm a Lower-Registry Commoner."

Even Liu Chang beside them was shocked by that answer.

The difficulty of cultivation for Lower-Registry Commoners was more than a level higher than for Upper Registry children like them.

To reach Lesser Completion of Bright Force under such circumstances showed just how extraordinary his talent was.

Jiang Tian immediately became interested.

"If Student Yang doesn't mind, would you be willing to spar with Liu Chang?"

Liu Chang hurriedly said, "Teacher! I've already reached Great Completion of Bright Force. Sparring with someone at Lesser Completion of Bright Force—what if I fail to hold back and beat him to death?"

Jiang Tian said, "Control your cultivation to Lesser Completion of Bright Force. Sparring is about techniques, not fighting to the death."

Yang Sheng considered it for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Although he had yet to practice any true techniques, his progress since awakening the Martial God Soul had been incredibly rapid.

He also wanted to see just how far he had come.

Jiang Tian turned to the Skysea owner nearby and asked, "We'll have a spar here. It won't affect the gym's business, will it?"

The Skysea owner couldn't have wanted it more.

"No problem, no problem."

Liu Chang shook her head. "There's really nothing I can do about a teacher like you." As she spoke, she casually put on a pair of boxing gloves.

"But I do want to see whether the person you favor truly has talent."

On the other side, Yang Sheng had already gotten into position.

"Student Liu Chang, please enlighten me!"

He first clasped his hands in salute. Then his body suddenly surged forward, crossing several meters in an instant. He exerted force in a flash, his fist carrying a gust of wind as it howled toward Liu Chang.

"This speed!" Jiang Tian's eyes lit up completely.
