BXBX NOVEL Chapter 28
The wooden door in the deep end of the Practice Martial Field slowly opened.
Li Xingwu led three of his Direct Disciples into the field.
The time for the daily sparring had come again.
Chen Sheng quickly got up from the ground and assembled together with Shi Jian in the centre of the Martial Arts Hall.
Compared to yesterday.
The disciples of the Martial Arts Hall looked much more relaxed today.
After all, yesterday, Li Xingwu had just kicked out some of the disciples from the Martial Arts Hall.
In the short term, the remaining disciples were safe.
Li Xingwu sat in a chair, leisurely sipping his tea, before he started assigning today’s sparring partners.
The same as yesterday.
Those who followed Guo Yang were ecstatic.
And those who followed the other two Direct Disciples cast envious glances at the former.
Chen Sheng was not called.
After all, he had only come to the Martial Arts Hall for one day and had left early yesterday.
Li Xingwu already had the intention to evict Chen Sheng from the Martial Arts Hall, so why would he let Chen Sheng waste one of the sparring spots?
But just because the other party didn’t call,
Didn’t mean Chen Sheng couldn’t propose it himself.
“Grand Master.”
In the crowd, Chen Sheng raised his hand high.
“I would like to spar as well.”
As soon as he spoke,
The gaze of most of the disciples immediately turned to him.
But most of these looks were filled with ill-will.
Few people thought Chen Sheng needed to participate in the sparring.
In their view,
Chen Sheng simply wanted to attract attention and waste everyone’s time by speaking out.
Only Shi Jian and a few disciples who had just seen Chen Sheng’s sparring knew the reason behind his request.
“Alright.”
However,
To everyone’s surprise,
Li Xingwu actually agreed.
Even Chen Sheng was a bit surprised.
He had initially thought he needed to go through the Five Elements Fist to prove himself.
Just when everyone was puzzled,
Li Xingwu’s next sentence immediately made everyone understand his intention.
His sharp eyes fell on Chen Sheng.
Li Xingwu said in a deep voice.
“But.”
“If your performance does not satisfy me, then get the hell out.”
Upon hearing this,
Chen Sheng finally understood Li Xingwu’s plan.
Fortunately,
He had confidence in himself.
“No problem.”
Chen Sheng also agreed.
Having said that.
Everyone immediately divided into three groups and walked towards different corners of the Practice Martial Field.action
Despite this, most of the eyes were still focused on Guo Yang’s side.
It’s human nature to enjoy watching a spectacle.
Many people were looking forward to Chen Sheng making a fool of himself.
“Brother Chen, I’m so thrilled just thinking about the image of you slapping their faces later.”
Shi Jian was lucky today and he was also assigned to Guo Yang’s side.
At this moment, he leaned in to Chen Sheng and said these words with a wink.
For this,
Chen Sheng rolled his eyes at him.
Soon,
Everyone formed a circle for the sparring session.
Guo Yang was in the center of the ring.
He looked at Chen Sheng, with a gentle smile on his face.
“Junior Brother Chen, do you want to go first or?”
“I’ll go first.”
Chen Sheng walked over to the front of Guo Yang, cupped his hands and saluted.
“Senior Brother, please teach me.”
Upon hearing this,
Guo Yang sighed with a hint of regret in his eyes.
“Junior Brother Chen, you could have practiced martial arts honestly and with Brother Li Chenghu’s face in the mix, the Grand Master would not easily kick you out.”
“You shouldn’t be so eager to prove yourself.”
Apparently,
Guo Yang thought Chen Sheng was too eager for success.
“You’ll know once you try, Senior Brother.”
Chen Sheng responded with a slight smile.
“Alright.”
Seeing this,
Guo Yang composed his facial expression and assumed the Three-Body Technique stance.
“Junior Brother, please strike first.”
Upon seeing the two about to start,
The surrounding people bore expressions of anticipation for the spectacle.
Even not far away, quite a few of Lieutenant Colonel Wu Ran and Li Qian’s disciples were frequently glancing over here.
The moment Guo Yang’s words fell,
Chen Sheng made his move.
With a swift stride, he closed in on his opponent’s front.
Stamp!
Chen Sheng stamped his foot firmly.
His right fist was clenched tightly, its face upward.
Force emerged from all over his body, gradually converging into a single line in his right arm.
Right Bashing Fist!
His arm drew a straight line, lunging at Guo Yang’s chest.
Seeing Chen Sheng’s aggressive approach, a glint of surprise flickered through Guo Yang’s eyes.
Even among the surrounding crowd, exclamations of surprise rose and fell.
Because,
Chen Sheng’s Bashing Fist, whether in terms of the punch or the motion, was extremely standard.
He didn’t resemble a disciple who had just arrived at the Martial Arts Hall.
However, as one of Li Xingwu’s former closed-door disciples, Guo Yang wasn’t likely to be scared off by Chen Sheng’s punch.
While inwardly expressing admiration, he directly launched a Splitting Fist, preparing to break Chen Sheng’s Bashing Fist.
It seemed like the scene of their sparring with Shi Jian not long ago was about to be repeated.
But Chen Sheng wouldn’t make the same mistake twice.
He violently lunged his left foot half a step forward!
While retracting his right fist, he thrust his left fist straight out from his waist.
The shift in force was completed within an instant.
The Bashing Fist transitioned into a Cannon Fist!
The Cannon Fist directly countered Guo Yang’s Splitting Fist!
“Well done!”
This clever shift in fist technique immediately elicited applause from the disciples present.
Li Xingwu, who was leisurely drinking tea by the side of the table, also paused with his teacup held up in mid-air.
Over the next ten minutes,
Guo Yang deliberately controlled his strength, continually trading blows and breaking attacks with Chen Sheng.
Chen Sheng’s performance was exceptionally good.
His enhanced Agility Attribute gave his senses and nerve reflection far superior to an average person, thereby, he barely managed to keep pace with Guo Yang’s rhythm.
The audience watched in growing amazement.
The eyes that initially held dissatisfaction and doubts towards Chen Sheng had disappeared.
Until the end of their sparring session,
Guo Yang stepped backward with a smile and made a salutation.
“Junior Brother has exceptional talent.”
“Thanks for your guidance, Senior Brother.”
At this moment, Chen Sheng was slightly panting.
Not from exhaustion,
But from sparring with Guo Yang, despite the latter having suppressed his physical fitness to match Chen Sheng, he deliberately made some common routines so that Chen Sheng could break them.
However, the pressure it brought was still far more intense than from Shi Jian.
Therefore, Chen Sheng had to concentrate fully to barely keep up with the pace of Guo Yang’s attacks and change in movements.
From this, it could be seen that,
Not only was Guo Yang strong in terms of personal prowess, his understanding of Xingyi Fist was also far superior to ordinary disciples.
Once again feeling the strength of others, Chen Sheng retreated to the crowd, reflecting on the gains from the sparring session.
He looked at his panel.
In just ten minutes, the Agility Attribute had increased by 0.01, and the proficiency of Three-body technique and Five Elements Fist had each risen by 10 points.
It was a pity that,
There was only so much time for sparring each day.
If he could continue for two or three hours,
He estimated his Agility Attribute would skyrocket.
“That was impressive, Brother Chen.”
At this time,
Shi Jian approached Chen Sheng and gave him a gentle nudge.
“You coolly pulled off a big manoeuvre.”
Chen Sheng raised his head somewhat dazedly.
He had been immersed in his spar with Guo Yang and hadn’t paid attention to how shocked the others were by his performance.
At this moment, most people were looking at him with a mixture of shock and disbelief in their eyes.
Evidently,
In just one day, Chen Sheng’s training in Five Elements Fist to this degree was unprecedented.
He completely upended their understanding of the world.
However, this scene did not last long.
Very quickly, with the continuation of the sparring, the disciples’ attention returned to the center of the field.
