Chapter 7: Your Aptitude Isn’t Bad
Translator: Lordbluefire
Five minutes later, Li Qinghe finished her matching game and stood up, walking toward the door. ƒ𝗿e𝘦𝚠𝗲𝚋n𝚘ν𝙚𝗹.𝑐o𝙢
“You don’t have to come out.”
Fu Langming, who was standing straight, heaved a sigh of relief.
“Yes!”
When Lu Yuan, who was practicing his Military Fist in a corner, saw Li Qinghe coming out, he quickly walked over.
“Elder Sister Qinghe, are you alright?”
Li Qinghe broke into an ambiguous smile.
“What can happen to me? Brother Ming and I have known each other for very long.”
Lu Yuan: “...”
He fell silent for a moment before saying,
“I have to thank Elder Sister Qinghe this time.”
“I’m still waiting for Younger Brother Lu Yuan to make it big and bring me out from this damn place in the future.”
Li Qinghe patted Lu Yuan’s shoulder, smiling.
......
Hearing this, Lu Yuan looked at Li Qinghe and nodded seriously. “Don’t worry, I will.”
“Alright, we’ll talk about other things in the future. Brother Ming has agreed for you to be practicing here. After he comes out, you can go and ask him to teach you.”
Lu Yuan nodded.
“I’ll be going back first then. I’m so sleepy.”
Li Qinghe covered her mouth with her hand and let out a yawn. She then bade goodbye to Lu Yuan and left Daming Dojo.
Lu Yuan continued practicing his Military Fist.
A few minutes later, Fu Langming came out as well, wearing a satisfied smile on his face. Lu Yuan took a look and then lowered his head slightly.
Fu Langming saw Lu Yuan and walked over, revealing his white teeth as he grinned.
“Lu Yuan is it? I heard from Qinghe that you want to practice physical training techniques here? Are you learning Military Fist and Military Swordplay?”
Lu Yuan nodded. “That’s right.”
Fu Langming assessed Lu Yuan and then said, “Let me take a look at them.”
Lu Yuan took a deep breath and started executing the Military Fist.
Lu Yuan had only been practicing the Military Fist for less than a day. Although he had learned the moves, his flow wasn’t smooth. However, Lu Yuan’s strength wasn’t weak, so even though he wasn’t skillful at it, his punches still seemed strong.
In the beginning, Fu Langming, who was at the side, didn’t seem too interested. But then his expression gradually became solemn. As he looked at the fist wind, a stunned expression appeared on his face.
The power of this fist force didn’t seem like it came from a new gene fighter who hadn’t entered the Land of Origins before.
After performing a set of fist techniques, Lu Yuan’s face was a little flushed and he was panting slightly.
He then turned and looked at Fu Langming, realizing that Fu Langming looked stunned.
Lu Yuan paused. “What is it?”
Fu Langming came back to his senses, his expression looking a little strange as he asked, “...Qinghe said that you were awakened the day before?”
Lu Yuan nodded. “That’s right, Brother Ming. Is there any problem?”
Fu Langming was silent for a moment and said.
“Come, give me a punch.”
Lu Yuan was stunned and looked at Fu Langming. “Brother Ming, are you asking me to punch you?”
“Why? You’re afraid that you’d hurt me? Hurry up and do it.”
Fu Langming revealed an expression that had a hint of impatience on it.
Lu Yuan’s lips twitched.
This Fu Langming was very strong and Lu Yuan wasn’t his opponent. What could he do?
He should just throw a punch then.
After drawing his fist back in a lunge position, he twisted his waist and smashed his punch out. As a result, fist wind seethed and his fist flew toward Fu Langming’s chest.
Sensing that fist wind, Fu Langming’s pupils contracted a little. He raised his big palm and stopped Lu Yuan’s fist.
Lu Yuan realized that his fist seemed to have hit a strong metal wall and was unable to advance any further. However, Fu Langming’s body didn’t even move in the slightest.
This made him even more certain that the difference between his and Fu Langming’s strength wasn’t just a little.
He was still very weak.
Just as Lu Yuan’s mind was wandering off, Fu Langming’s voice rang out.
“...Did you really just awaken?”
Lu Yuan looked at Fu Langming, feeling a little puzzled. This was the second time he was asked this question.
Was there something wrong with him?
Lu Yuan was a little puzzled.
“Yes, I just awakened.”
Fu Langming looked at Lu Yuan with a strange gaze.
“How long did it take you to sense spirit qi when you first tried to move it? And how long did it take you to absorb it later?”
Lu Yuan was surprised. Only then did he realize what his problem was.
He seemed to be too amazing!
His power was a little strong and didn’t seem like a gene fighter who had just awakened.
However, there was no way he could say that he was able to sense spirit qi without meditation. This was too absurd.
Lu Yuan thought about it for a moment before saying.
“It took me less than half a day to absorb spirit qi.”
An instant was also considered to be less than half a day, right?
Lu Yuan changed his way of saying things.
Upon hearing Lu Yuan’s words, Fu Langming’s eyes were wide open.
He then let out a dry cough, breaking into a slight smile.
“Cough... Lu Yuan is it? Since Qinghe has left you to me, I’ll reluctantly accept you as my disciple since your aptitude isn’t bad. How about it?”
Lu Yuan was a little stunned and then he asked.
“Brother Ming, are you very strong?”
“I...”
Fu Langming was about to say something when he suddenly remembered Qinghe’s reminder earlier. Hence, he forced himself to shut up.
He then said, “Cough, although I have just broken through to become a tier-1 fighter, I’ll become very strong in the future!”
Lu Yuan: “?”
(Just that?)
(Only a fighter?)
(Isn’t he not that much stronger than me then?)
(At least I have limitless potential.)
Lu Yuan was instantly speechless, so he let out a dry laugh and then said, “Brother Ming is really amazing, but I haven’t gone to university yet. We’ll see after I’ve started to attend university.”
Hearing Lu Yuan’s words, Fu Langming frowned slightly. He could clearly hear the halfheartedness in Lu Yuan’s voice.
However, since Lu Yuan had been brought here by Qinghe, Fu Langming didn’t dare to do anything to Lu Yuan. He only wore a forced smile and nodded.
“Alright then. We’ll talk about this after you’ve gone to university.”
Lu Yuan looked at Fu Langming with some surprise.
He thought that Fu Langming would fly into a rage, but he didn’t expect him not to be angry at all.
Seemed like he was a good guy.
However, Lu Yuan probably would have to keep a low profile in the future.
At the very least, when things weren’t safe enough, he mustn’t appear too amazing.
Fu Langming continued talking.
“If you want to become good at physical training techniques, training alone won’t work. I’ll arrange a few opponents for you. You’ll spar with them!”
After saying that, Fu Langming turned and called a strong man who was practicing fist techniques not far away.
“Little Tiger!”
The strong man turned his head, wearing a simple-minded smile on his rectangular face. He then came running over.
“Brother Ming!”
“En, go up to the ring and have a round with this kid.”
“Huh? This beansprout?”
Little Tiger looked at Lu Yuan and couldn’t help but break into a bitter expression.
“I’m afraid that he will end up dying because I fail to hold back... Why not get someone else?”
Hearing that, Lu Yuan raised his brows slightly, not saying anything.
“Stop with the crap! You do it! Otherwise, I’ll spar against you!”
Hearing this, Little Tiger quickly became solemn. “Alright! I’ll do it right now!”
Only then did Fu Langming nod in satisfaction.
“The two of you, come with me.”
He led the two of them to an arena.
At this moment, two strong men were sparring in the arena, landing heavy punches on each other. Their bodies and faces were covered in bruises.
Many people under the arena were watching the battle, cheering and booing non-stop.
“Old Cat! Can you do it? Straight punch! Right hook! F*ck him up!”
“Mountain Boar! Use more force! Did you not f*cking eat?! Beat him! Beat that s*ssy up!”
However, the people watching the fight immediately made way when they saw Fu Langming coming over. Some of them looked at Fu Langming and the other two curiously, especially at Lu Yuan, who was an unfamiliar face to them.
Fu Langming slapped the arena’s floor, making loud sounds.
“Stop!”
Fu Langming’s words were very effective here. The two men who had been fighting intensely a moment ago punched each other once and then retreated.
The two of them rubbed the wounds on their faces, panting heavily while glaring at each other. After that, they looked in Fu Langming’s direction.
“Brother Ming.”
Fu Langming beckoned at them and then said.
“Come down! We’re changing fighters!”
“Changing fighters?”
Not only were Old Cat and Mountain Boar stunned, but so were the people watching the fight.
Someone then asked in anticipation,
“Is Brother Ming planning on having a round in the ring?”
“Little Tiger is the sandbag? That’s great!”
“Hurry up and start! Hurry up and start! Brother Ming is amazing!”
When Little Tiger heard everyone’s words, he continued to wear a simple-minded smile. He then scratched his head and said.
“Brothers, you’ll be disappointed. Brother Ming isn’t going to fight. The ones fighting in the ring will be me and this beansprout here.”
Little Tiger pointed at Lu Yuan.
At this moment, everyone sized up Lu Yuan and was instantly disappointed.
“Him? He isn’t even as thick as my arm. Won’t you have to pray that he doesn’t die after punching him?”
“A new face? Why is a s*ssy like him not receiving guests at Goldenglow Entertainment Club but coming here?”
“Hey! S*ssy! You won’t get so scared later that you piss yourself in the pants, would you?”
“Hahahahaha!”
Everyone whistled and laughed at Lu Yuan.
Brother Ming crossed his thick arms and was also laughing loudly.
He looked at Lu Yuan mockingly.
“How is it? Kid, are you up for it?”
Lu Yuan raised his brows and took a look at them. After that, he quietly rolled up his sleeves.
“I’ll give it a try.”
Little Tiger scratched his head while wearing a simple-minded smile. “I won’t be paying for the medical bills if I end up beating you up till you can’t get up!”
Lu Yuan tugged his lips. “I don’t need you to pay for it.”
“Since both of you have come to an agreement, the two of you can go up now.”
Under everyone’s whistles, Lu Yuan and Little Tiger got up onto the arena.
