BXBX NOVEL Chapter 29
As usual, Wu Ran and Li Qian’s side was the quickest.
The main reason was that Guo Yang took too much time sparring with Chen Sheng.
The disciples gathered again in front of Li Xingwu.
“Can you not waste time on these useless people next time? Do you think I’m as idle as you?”
As soon as Guo Yang returned behind Li Xingwu, Li Qian by his side frowned and said unpleasantly.
Upon hearing this,
The faces of the disciples turned ugly.
However, due to Li Qian’s status as a direct disciple and Li Xingwu’s niece,
They could only lower their heads and pretend not to hear.
Chen Sheng looked at Li Qian with a frown.
He hadn’t experienced what Shi Jian said about her terrible character before.
Now, he finally had a clear sense of it.
After mentally labeling her as someone to keep a respectful distance from, Chen Sheng prepared to look away.
However, Li Qian seemed to be able to feel his gaze and suddenly turned her head.
Her sinister eyes stared at Chen Sheng.
“What are you looking at?!”
“You have a problem with me calling you useless?!”
“Believe it or not, I will—”
Bang!
“Enough!!”
Li Xingwu slammed the tabletop and ordered with a frown.
Even Li Qian didn’t dare to say anything more in the face of Li Xingwu’s anger.
She glared at Chen Sheng fiercely before reluctantly looking away.
From beginning to end,
Only Wu Ran, with his eyes closed, was completely at ease.
It was as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
Seeing his performance, a touch of relief flashed in Li Xingwu’s eyes.
Compared to Li Qian’s ruthlessness and impatience for quick success, and Guo Yang’s laziness,
Only Wu Ran, calm and not arrogant, made rapid progress and never caused him any trouble.
When the scene settled down again,
Li Xingwu turned his gaze on Chen Sheng.
“Starting from tomorrow, you will spar with Guo Yang.”
There was a trace of regret in his eyes.
His son’s vision was indeed sharp.
Chen Sheng’s talent in martial arts could be described as monstrous.
If it were not for the tide rising period, he would have taken him as a direct disciple and treasured him.
Unfortunately,
His Qi sensing talent was too poor.
In this era,
Martial arts is only an auxiliary means.
No matter how well-trained, it would be useless against Qi-sensors and Heavenly Persons with monstrous physical abilities.
With these words from Li Xingwu,
The disciples couldn’t help but cast envious glances.
Some even showed a hint of jealousy.
After all, among the three direct disciples, only Guo Yang was willing to teach others during sparring.
“Your Senior Brother Wu has broken through Light Energy and reached Hidden Energy Level today.”
“In terms of martial arts realm alone, he deserves to be Seventh-order.”
“But in actual combat, he can defeat a Five Elements Fist!”action
“If you had half of his progression speed, why would I bother scolding you every day!”
Talking about Wu Ran, Li Xingwu’s mood seemed to improve a bit.
As he spoke, a smile returned to Li Xingwu’s face.
As for this news,
Compared to the shock of the ordinary disciples, the reactions of the two direct disciples behind him were somewhat intriguing.
Guo Yang secretly gave Wu Ran a thumbs up.
As for Li Qian, the depths of her eyes were filled with thick, undiluted jealousy towards Wu Ran.
As for Wu Ran, he finally opened his eyes.
He slightly raised his head, and calm and composed, accepted the adoration in the eyes of the other disciples.
After mentioning a few more things,
Li Xingwu took the three direct disciples back to the inner courtyard.
After the four left,
Shi Jian approached Chen Sheng, putting an arm around his shoulder.
“Brother Chen, don’t take that crazy woman’s words to heart.”
“We can’t afford to provoke people like her, so we’d better just avoid them.”
Chen Sheng hadn’t taken the previous incident to heart, and he smiled gently when he heard this.
He was about to reply when he saw a group of disciples suddenly surround the two of them.
“Brother Chen, can you please…”
“Brother Chen, I was thinking….”
“Chen….”
Between the lines, they all wanted Chen Sheng’s help in guiding them in the Three-Body Technique and the Five Elements Fist.
After all,
Just by being able to spar with Guo Yang for ten minutes, Chen Sheng’s martial arts level had already surpassed half of the disciples in the martial arts hall.
On weekdays,
Li Xingwu rarely had time to guide them.
Some disciples with poor martial arts skills could only seek guidance from higher-level disciples like Shi Jian.
But a person’s energy is ultimately limited.
For example, Shi Jian only occasionally guided others each day, and most of the time he sparred with disciples of a similar level.
Now, there was another Chen Sheng, who had just arrived and had few acquaintances.
These disciples would naturally not let such an opportunity slip by.
Chen Sheng glanced at the time and found it quite ample, so he agreed to help.
One hour later,
Chen Sheng finished his guidance.
“Thank you, Brother Chen.”
In the midst of the disciples’ gratitude, Chen Sheng responded with a smile and nod.
Then,
He put on his weighted gear again, bid farewell to Shi Jian, and walked out of the martial arts hall.
Although his performance today did not make Li Xingwu accept him as a disciple.
But Chen Sheng was not panicked at all.
After all,
Strength, after all, needs to be displayed in a gradual way.
—————–
At the same time.
Quanjiang City, Jincheng District.
Wu’an Bureau.
Li Chenghu was sitting at his office desk, rubbing his brow with his eyes closed, as if thinking about something.
On his desk, there were various documents.
Among them, two names appeared most frequently.
Zhao Hui.
And Shen Ziming.
At this moment,
Knock, knock, knock.
There was a knock on the door of the office.
“Come in.”
Li Chenghu responded.
A short figure entered, the braids fluttering behind her head looking particularly eye-catching.
“Captain Li, new recruit Xu…Xu Rou, reporting!”
Xu Rou stood straight and paused in front of the office desk, saluting Li Chenghu.
Her voice was loud at first,
But when she said her name, it was obviously a bit short of breath.
The palm of her hand clenched at her side, sweating nervously.
Xu Rou was originally an ordinary local police officer.
A month ago, she accidentally discovered that her strength had increased significantly and performed miracles in missions.
By coincidence, the Wu’an Bureau was severely short of manpower and had to request for personnel from other departments.
Given the opportunity, Xu Rou agreed without hesitation.
She was more than happy to be able to make greater use of her talents and meet many people like herself.
It was absolutely not because she got excited every time she fought.
Absolutely not!
At this time,
Li Chenghu slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on Xu Rou.
His fierce face, coupled with his own imposing manner, made Xu Rou even more nervous.
“Relax, I don’t bite.”
Li Chenghu joked with a smile, easing the atmosphere a bit.
“Xu Rou, right? I’ve already gone through your profile.”
“The work in the Wu’an Bureau is much more dangerous than you imagine, and our salary isn’t very high. It’s a high-risk, low-reward job.”
“If you back out now, I can still transfer you back to the local department.”
“Otherwise, if you regret it when you’re already in the middle of the job, it’ll be too late.”
Li Chenghu had seen Xu Rou’s profile,
He knew that her strength was much more formidable than what her appearance suggested.
If evaluated according to the martial arts association’s realm, Xu Rou was almost an eight-rank, or light energy warrior.
But strength was only one aspect.
When facing ferocious Qi-sensors or Heavenly People, courage was often more important.
“Please rest assured, Captain Li, I will never regret it!”
In order to show her determination, Xu Rou shouted almost at the top of her lungs.
“Alright, alright, lower your voice.”
Li Chenghu’s ears itched from the loud noise, and he quickly waved his hand to signal Xu Rou to relax.
“Then I won’t beat around the bush with you, let’s get to the point.”
