Chapter 107: Let’s See Where You Can Run
Chen Wujun pressed one hand below his navel, lying on his side like a bow.
In his consciousness, a current was drawn out from the Magnetic Field Crystal, traveling along every muscle in his body, up to his face, then from the back of his head down to his feet, finally returning to its origin, wrapping around his internal organs.
Accompanying the current’s travel, his entire body felt slightly bloated.
However, his muscles all over were too powerful, so this stimulation was not obvious.
While his five viscera and six bowels were fragile, the bloating sensation was extremely obvious.
After a long time, Chen Wujun suddenly opened his eyes, and his slow heartbeat began to accelerate.
Feeling the changes in his body, every time he lay in this Hibernating Dragon Sleep stake, his body would have some subtle changes.
Chen Wujun glanced at the Magnetic Field Crystal in his hand; it had become dull gray and useless, so he casually threw it into the trash can.
“Two days for one Magnetic Field Crystal… plus the Four Greats, Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield, eye washing… in a month, I need… 49 Magnetic Field Crystals, nearly 250,000… Martial arts practice really is only for the rich.”
“Poor people can’t afford to practice either New Technique or Old Technique.”
Even with his arcade now earning gold daily, plus taking Gao Fei’s territory, gaining a billiard hall, a dance hall, and some protection fee, his monthly income was barely 400,000.
After all, as his territory expanded, the number of men under him increased, and monthly expenses grew more.
400,000 was an astronomical figure for ordinary people; in a year, one could buy five 450-square-foot units in a high-end community like Mei Foo Sun Chuen.
Yet this astronomical figure, he spent most of it on martial arts practice in a month.
“Originally, Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield could only be practiced once every three days, and Tiger Descends Mountain stake couldn’t be done daily either, or the body couldn’t handle it. Now after practicing Hibernating Dragon Sleep, it recovers some hidden injuries in the body each time, so Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield can be practiced every two days, and Tiger Descends Mountain can be done daily.”
“Martial arts practice isn’t just practice; it also needs nurturing. This Hibernating Dragon Sleep includes nurturing. Without this body-nurturing kung fu, no matter how well you practice, once you get a bit older, all the previous hidden injuries will catch up.”
“But appetite has gotten bigger these days… Now one pound of beef per meal isn’t enough; I can only eat half full. Tomorrow have A Yue make more.”
Chen Wujun jumped to the ground, walked to the mirror to look, then put on clothes and went to Ah Qi’s place.
The room was still cramped, still carrying a faint stench, the smell of the Walled City.
A skinny little girl wearing a nightgown at home, supporting herself on the table in the narrow room, walked with a limp.
“Your foot is almost healed? When are you going back to school?” Chen Wujun saw as soon as he entered that the plaster cast on Ah Qi’s leg was gone.
Although the injured leg clearly didn’t dare to bear weight, it could already barely touch the ground.
“This semester is over; I’ll go back to school next semester.” Ah Qi said while taking out a few test papers.
“Do these science and social science test papers today; see how you’ve been learning lately.”
Originally, Chen Wujun was thinking that if Ah Qi went back to school, he’d have to find a new tutor; might as well arrange another car accident.
But seeing these test papers, he immediately changed his mind.
Switching to a new tutor was also good.
He didn’t like studying so he dropped out, but now not only did he have to chop people, he also had to study and do test papers every day.
If he’d known it would be like this, he might as well have gone to high school.
Chen Wujun’s face flickered uncertainly as he took the test papers.
1: In New Calendar 196, the （） Act was promulgated.
2: The Civil Rights Era was from （） to （）.
3: The 《 Voting Act 》 promulgated in New Calendar 235 stipulated prohibiting the use of （） methods in voting.
Crack.
The pencil in Chen Wujun’s hand suddenly broke.
“Pencil broke… write tomorrow.”
Chen Wujun threw the two pencil stubs onto the table.
Ah Qi sighed, turned around, took out a metal pencil case and put it on the table; it was full of pencils.
Chen Wujun’s expression turned unfriendly; he felt Ah Qi was deliberately making things difficult for him.
……
The next day, Chen Wujun arrived at the warehouse, his expression full of anticipation.
Compared to those social science test papers, he still preferred martial arts practice.
He took off his jacket, smeared a layer of grease on the wooden stake, then pulled his body up onto the wooden stake to practice Swimming Dragon Palm.
Several sandbags hanging above the wooden stake kept flying back and forth; Chen Wujun’s figure shuttled through them.
Until the afternoon, when Zhou Qing arrived at the warehouse, Chen Wujun was walking Mud Treading Step in the sand pit. Seeing Zhou Qing, he pulled his body up and jumped out of the sand pit.
“Master!”
“You were interested in Three Sovereigns Cannon Hammer before; today I’ll teach you. This kung fu issues force like a cannon, strikes like a hammer, so it’s called Cannon Punch.”
“Three Sovereigns Cannon Hammer has five forms: ape, bear, tiger, armor, dragon, as well as Cannon Punch methods like Open Gate Cannon, Skyward Cannon, Rush Heaven Cannon, Cross Cannon, etc.”
“When practicing, it emphasizes whole body unified whole strength; when fists and feet extend, it’s like a cannon blasting out, with fierce aura and full force.”
Zhou Qing explained slowly, no different from usual.
“I’ll first teach you the ultimate move of Three Sovereigns Cannon Hammer, Master’s Three Bows. In ancient times, people bowed on meeting; this strike is hidden under the bow…”
Zhou Qing made the bowing stance with both hands, demonstrating for Chen Wujun.
“People back then didn’t have strong enough bodies or great enough strength; suddenly bowing forward during the bow directly bowled the person over. It sounds a bit sneaky, not grand…”
“Actually, this move is exquisitely wonderful. Hands in bowing stance protect the head, shoulders and elbows droop to guard the ribs. No matter how the opponent maneuvers, standing here steady and unmoving, in combat grab the opponent’s centerline, just advance and send the person flying.”
“Moreover, it’s whole body whole strength, the entire body as one unit; when moving, feet don’t leave the ground, still as a mountain, moving like thunder.”
“Back then, Deng Yuan relied on hardening kung fu and this move; no matter how others hit him, he ignored it, hands bowed like a cannon blasting out, killing or injuring people.”
“And you grab the opponent’s centerline, fist bows forward, blocking the opponent’s attack path; they can only press your hands down, but you turn your hands, borrowing their force to strike out even more fiercely.”
“So they used to say experts use this move to hit people; the strength to break a hard pancake is enough. Pancake is a hard biscuit; using the strength to break the biscuit hits people because it borrows the opponent’s force to strike out…”
……
At the same time, several cars arrived at this rundown industrial zone.
Ruan Wenshan sat expressionlessly in the car, just chain-smoking, eyes full of bloodshot.
“Sure it’s here?” Ruan Wenshan’s henchman asked.
“Definitely right; he comes here every Tuesday!” said a young man in the passenger seat; this youth wasn’t Ruan Wenshan’s man, but Li Dong’s person, pointing ahead:
“Just over 100 meters forward from here, then the big yard on the right.”
The vehicles continued forward to the position the Li Dong henchman mentioned, and sure enough saw a big yard with several brick-tile houses, like an abandoned warehouse.
Ruan Wenshan got out of the car, threw the cigarette butt underfoot, then lit another.
Now between him and Chen Wujun, it was no longer about Li Dong hiring killers for money.
It was pure hatred.
His own younger brother was killed by Chen Wujun, and the corpse thrown back without even one complete bone.
People got out from the other cars too, taking out knives from the cars and distributing them.
Three cars, one a minivan, totaling nearly 20 people.
All showed traces of martial arts practice on their bodies.
These people all practiced Qi Observation Path.
“I want him alive; I’ll slice him alive bit by bit!” Ruan Wenshan took the saber handed by his henchman, looking at the warehouse.
The others immediately advanced toward the warehouse with fierce aura.
……
Before they arrived at the warehouse, Zhou Qing, who was explaining Three Sovereigns Cannon Hammer, twitched his ears.
He stopped explaining and said, “Someone’s coming; looking for you.”
If it were before, these people wouldn’t even reach the warehouse; they’d circle and leave.
But now Zhou Qing always felt a sense of time pressing, so he let them find here.
Not just because of that night’s questioning, but he also couldn’t hold back more and more.
“Looking for me?” Chen Wujun raised an eyebrow; who would come here looking for him.
If it were Senior Brother Li, Master definitely wouldn’t say so specially.
Eyes turning, he understood.
His enemy had actually found here.
Didn’t know if it was Li Dong’s people or Luoyue People.
“I’ll handle it now.” Chen Wujun said to Zhou Qing, turned around, eyes full of rage.
He was just getting into learning, and someone came looking.
Walking to the weapon rack, his gaze swept, then he yanked out two short-handled sickles.
Urgent footsteps sounded outside the gate, then bang, the warehouse door was kicked open.
A group of Luoyue People holding weapons stood at the door, spotted Chen Wujun by the weapon rack at a glance, then wordlessly spread out and charged at Chen Wujun.
Each had cruelty and ferocity in their eyes.
Chen Wujun took a deep breath, his entire body swelling a bit, muscles even more terrifying.
Holding a sickle in each hand, his feet mud-treaded, and he shot out.
The lead one slashed down diagonally with a cleaver; from the cleanness and wind of this slash alone, this person had decent Old Technique foundation.
Chen Wujun just raised his hand; the sickle hooked the opponent’s cleaver, and as his body passed beside him, the sickle in the other hand wiped across his neck, cutting half the neck open, blood spraying directly.
“Go die!” Four people surrounded Chen Wujun from front, back, left, right; four knives formed a knife net, covering Chen Wujun from all sides.
Chen Wujun swept the two sickles outward, hooking the two knives slashing from the front; the two only felt a great force transmitted through their hands, numbing their tiger mouths, knives out of their control.
Chen Wujun stomped his foot, passing between the two, while turning his sickles half a circle; the two’s knives were directly twisted flying.
Just landing behind the two, Chen Wujun turned, sweeping the two sickles, directly hooking the two necks.
At that moment, two more knives fell from the side.
Chen Wujun darted backward; those two knives slashed empty.
And the two hooked by Chen Wujun’s sickles had their heads fly skyward.
17 people had just rushed in, and in an instant 3 were dead.
“Chen Wujun!” After Ruan Wenshan entered, his eyes locked tightly on Chen Wujun, then he reached out to grab the nearby gate, slamming it shut.
Closing the gate.
Also blocking the afternoon sunlight outside the warehouse.
“Let’s see where you can run!”
