Luo Feng's Other Younger Brother

The sky was a clear blue, with not a cloud in sight.

The midsummer sun hung high in the Azure Sky like a blazing fireball.

It was three in the afternoon.

Third High School, Yi'an District.

Second Year of High School, Class One.

"Ring, ring, ring..."

As the bell rang throughout the campus, Luo Xia put the I Ching in his backpack and prepared to head home.

Just then, a beautiful girl suddenly walked over with a Mistake notebook in hand, her face flushed as she asked:

"Luo Xia, could I take a moment of your time? I don't quite understand this problem the teacher explained today."

Luo Xia glanced at the Mistake notebook she handed over, looked at the difficult problem troubling her, then took the Ballpoint pen and scribbled a few strokes in the notebook before slinging his backpack over his shoulder and walking toward the classroom door.

"If you still don't understand it, come ask me again tomorrow."

He waved a hand, leaving the girl with a dashing silhouette.

At the classroom door stood a sturdily built upperclassman, around 1.72 meters tall. Luo Xia walked up to him and called, "Brother, why are you here?"

"I was waiting for you to get out of school," the boy said with a smile.

"I'm not some little girl. Why are you waiting for me after school?"

Luo Xia muttered, then left the classroom side by side with him.

Once he and his biological older brother had left, the classmates behind them immediately began discussing them.

"The one waiting at the classroom door just now was Luo Xia's biological older brother, Luo Feng, right?"

"Yeah. I heard Luo Xia's brother, Luo Feng, is one of only four people in our high school to earn the title of Advanced Trainee of the Martial Arts Academy!"

"Really? That's amazing!"

"The Two Brothers are both Advanced Trainees of the Martial Arts Academy! When will I ever have brothers like that? I'm so jealous!"

"Who wouldn't want that? But compared to his brother, Luo Xia is obviously even more impressive. Not only is he highly skilled in combat, but he's also a great student. He'll definitely get into Jiangnan First Military Academy! If he wanted to, he could even apply directly to Jingcheng First Military Academy!"

"Ugh, comparisons really do kill people!"

Luo Xia and Luo Feng followed the tide of students leaving school and slowly walked out of the teaching building.

"Senior disciple brother Luo Feng! Senior disciple brother Luo Feng!"

Just then, a deep, booming voice called out to Luo Feng.

Luo Xia and his brother turned around and saw a towering giant, at least 1.9 meters tall, broad-shouldered and powerfully built, staring at the two of them with bright eyes.

"It's Zhang Hu." Luo Xia curled his lip.

This Zhang Hu was in the same grade as him, also a second-year high school student.

Back when he had refused to believe that Luo Xia could earn the title of Advanced Trainee of the Martial Arts Academy, he had challenged him, only to be defeated cleanly and decisively.

Luo Feng glanced at Luo Xia, then looked at Zhang Hu and asked, "May I ask what you need?"

Zhang Hu looked awkwardly at Luo Xia before saying to Luo Feng, "Senior disciple brother Luo Feng, I... I have something I'd like to ask you to help me with."

Luo Feng smiled and asked, "What is it?"

Zhang Hu waved his casserole-sized fist and looked at Luo Feng.

"When I practice boxing, something always feels off with my Fist Power Generation. I was wondering if senior disciple brother has time to give me some pointers?"

"According to what the Wuguan teacher said, with my strength, one punch should be able to produce fifty percent more force. But whenever I generate power with a punch, I can never reach that level."

He looked at Luo Feng expectantly.

Watching from the side, Luo Xia could not help saying, "That's because your punching technique is wrong!"

He stepped forward, handed his backpack to his biological older brother Luo Feng, then spread his feet slightly apart and demonstrated for Zhang Hu--

"The Wuguan teacher should have told you that when you throw a punch, strength rises from beneath your feet. But when I watched you throw punches just now, once the strength rose from your feet and reached your thighs and waist, your thighs and waist weren't moving as one. That caused a lot of strength to be lost there!"

"You should do it like I do..."

As Luo Xia spoke, power rose beneath his feet and surged through his entire body. He suddenly threw a punch.

Bang!

The air cracked like a string of firecrackers.

A burst of force poured from his fist, actually producing a shockwave that shot out with a pff, blowing Zhang Hu's hair straight back.

Several students watching nearby jumped in fright.

Zhang Hu froze slightly as he looked at Luo Xia.

"Did you understand?" Luo Xia looked at him as well.

Zhang Hu blinked. After a long while, he finally nodded blankly.

Luo Xia withdrew his fist. "All right, we're heading back."

Luo Feng smiled and handed Luo Xia his backpack, then said to Zhang Hu:

"Your name is Zhang Hu, right? Junior disciple brother Zhang Hu, the way my younger brother described punching is completely correct. If it were me, I would have demonstrated it the same way. I hope it helps you."

Zhang Hu hurriedly said, "Thank you, senior disciple brother Luo Feng. Thank you... Luo Xia."

Luo Xia waved, then turned and left with Luo Feng.

Zhang Hu watched them depart, excitement appearing on his face as he muttered to himself:

"So that was it! Because my body is too bulky, my waist and thighs lack coordination. That's why so much strength gets lost when it reaches that point..."

A male student beside him sighed. "As expected of people from our high school who earned the title of Advanced Trainee of the Martial Arts Academy. The way he demonstrated punching and force generation just now was enlightening even for us!"

"They actually gave us an on-the-spot lesson just like that. The Luo Xia and Luo Feng brothers are way too easygoing, aren't they?"

"I heard Luo Feng's younger brother has a rather aloof personality, but whenever someone asks him for guidance, he never refuses. Not to mention Luo Feng, the biological older brother with the gentler personality. He basically never refuses to teach others."

"Ugh, compared to them, the other two Advanced Trainees of the Martial Arts Academy, Zhang Haobai and Liu Ting, really are..."

"Zhang Haobai and Liu Ting are both children of wealthy families. They're proud and arrogant, so why would they give people like us guidance the way Luo Xia and Luo Feng do? In their eyes, teaching us would probably just be a waste of time."

"I heard the Luo Xia and Luo Feng brothers' family used to be much like ours. Their finances were quite ordinary, and they even lived in Affordable Housing. Later, Luo Xia took on part-time work online and earned some money, which was how they moved out of the Affordable Housing district!"

"That's right. Luo Xia and Luo Feng got where they are today entirely through hard training, forged with every punch and kick. They aren't like Zhang Haobai and the others."

At that moment, Luo Feng and Luo Xia, the people everyone was discussing, were walking toward the high school Great Door with a Sports Uniform Boy amid the stream of students.

"Xia, Feng, heh. That big guy who asked you two to teach him Fist Power Generation just now was still praising you to the other students when he left."

Luo Feng smiled and raised an eyebrow at Wei Wen. "What, are you jealous?"

"Jealous of you two?"

Wei Wen rubbed his nose and chuckled. "If I were really jealous of you, I'd lose decades off my life! I've been getting crushed by Xia and you since we were kids. By now, facing you two, I've cultivated a peaceful state of mind. I'm neither elated by gains nor saddened by losses!"

Luo Xia cupped his hands in congratulations and teased, "Congratulations, Brother Wen, on attaining the state of mind of a sage!"

"Get lost! Go somewhere else!" Wei Wen waved him off and laughingly scolded Luo Xia. "Is that any way to make fun of your brother?"

The three chatted and laughed as they quickly walked out of the school gate.

Just then, Wei Wen suddenly stared ahead and said to Luo Feng, "Feng, look! It's the one you secretly have a crush on!"
