Chapter 21: Cold-Faced Cheng Wei

  The Flame Yellow Great Courtyard's underground training base, Yang Fan led Li Meng to push open the door of the 44th training room. Inside, the sound of kicking legs came out. It wasn't the usual shouting, but rather the pure sound of leg wind, entering his ears, and Li Meng could even sense the opponent's strength from this wind.

  This is a large hall with an area of over 80 square meters. There are no excessive training equipment inside, only five bronze men standing upright. The feet of the bronze men are inlaid with thick copper plates, which can stand firmly and stably. What cannot be ignored is that there are concave and convex marks on the body of the bronze men.

  Li Meng wouldn't naively think that this was caused by being hammered with an iron hammer, but rather it should be a result of fist and foot training. What surprised him even more was that these copper men seemed to be solid, what kind of strength would be needed to leave marks on them!

  Inside the training room, there was only one middle-aged man kicking his legs. With each kick, he made a whooshing sound, but no matter how hard he kicked or flipped over, his body remained firmly planted on the ground, his lower half rooted in place as if it were embedded in the floorboards.

  "Clang!"

  A middle-aged man suddenly lifted his leg and kicked the copper man beside him. With a loud clang, the clumsy copper man was unable to withstand this kick and flew out of the ground.

  Bang!!!

  When the copper man landed, the entire training room shook violently. Li Meng's face changed slightly as he realized that he had underestimated the weight of the copper man and also the strength of this person.

  "This bronze statue is at least two tons!" Seeing Li Meng's shock, Yang Fan smiled and introduced.

  "Two tons!" Li Meng secretly cursed, this was a several thousand jin heavy giant! But the opponent lightly kicked with one foot and actually sent the entire copper man flying, such strength, he could only look up to.

  "You're here!" The middle-aged man nodded slightly to Yang Fan, his expression always cold and detached, without showing too much respect to Yang Fan, then took a towel from the side to wipe away sweat.

  What surprised Li Meng was that the man's foot seemed to be injured, and he walked with a slight limp, although it wasn't very obvious, but for a martial artist, his strength would be greatly discounted!

  "This is our group's Cheng Wei, a martial arts fanatic. He hasn't left the training room for a year, so you haven't seen him!" Yang Fan whispered to Li Meng, not waiting for Li Meng to respond, he continued: "Cheng Wei is skilled in various sword styles, it's most suitable for him to teach you, but his temper is slightly explosive, you might suffer a bit later!"

  Li Mu nodded woodenly, with a faint sense of unease in his heart.

  "If you want to practice martial arts, come over here! Stop chattering!" Cheng Wei interrupted the two with a expressionless face.

  "Cheng Wei, from now on Li Mang's training will be handed over to you... You two practice, I'll head back first!" With that, Yang Fan irresponsibly left Li Mang in training room 44.

  "Attack me with all your might!" The expressionless Cheng Wei gave Li Meng his first command, a tone that brooked no argument!

  "I haven't even started yet!" Li Meng responded with a grin, having just walked over and pushed the copper man with all his might, but to no avail, which was the difference between them.

  Cheng Wei's thick eyebrows rose slightly, and he said with a hint of displeasure: "I will control my power well, keeping it at the same level as yours!"

  "......Alright!" Li Mang knew that if he said no again, he would definitely get beaten up. He could only grit his teeth and agree, then immediately clenched his fists, took a step forward, and threw a punch with all his might at the opponent's abdomen - "Bang!"

  Cheng Wei didn't dodge and let Li Meng's fist land on his body, but Li Meng didn't feel the slightest bit of satisfaction, only because his fist was throbbing with pain and turning red.

  "Pathetic!" Cheng Wei snorted, suddenly kicking out with his foot, showing no mercy or quarter, and not even resembling a friendly spar, as he viciously kicked Li Meng's body.

  Clang!

  Li Mang flew out and crashed into a bronze statue, suffering his second injury which made him feel sweetness in his throat and stars spinning before his eyes.

  "Get up and attack me!" Cheng Wei's face remained expressionless.

  "I'm not even your opponent, is it fun playing with me?" Li's teeth itched.

  "I know you're no match for me!" Cheng Wei didn't have the slightest intention of comforting him, and coldly said: "Only through battle can I see what kind of training you need!"

  "What if I don't take action!" Li Mang asked very bluntly.

  "Are you not going to make a move?" Cheng Wei's cold gaze swept over, making Li Meng feel a sense of danger. Sure enough, the next moment Cheng Wei suddenly made his move, taking a long stride forward and appearing one meter in front of Li Meng. His other foot didn't pause for a second before chopping down towards him!

  "Clang!"

  The copper man behind Li Meng was directly kicked out, heavily smashing five meters away, and the shock transmitted made Li Meng's whole body covered in cold sweat as he barely dodged.

  "Are you going to take action?" Cheng Wei asked in a cold voice.

  "I'll move!" Li Mang could only grit his teeth and get up, using all his strength to attack Cheng Wei. But the result was obvious: Cheng Wei remained standing firmly, while he himself was soon covered in injuries. Cheng Wei didn't let him off, until Li Mang lay motionless on the ground, completely powerless.

  "All brawn and no brains, clumsy reaction, no technique at all, weak!" This was Cheng Wei's comment on Li Mao, not leaving any face for him.

  "This is nonsense! If it wasn't like this, what's the point of me coming to train with you!" Li Mang on the ground was already as fearless as a dead pig in boiling water and directly gave Cheng Wei a disdainful look.

  "You..." Cheng Wei didn't expect Li Mang to not only show no remorse, but also dare to be so presumptuous! However, thinking back, what Li Mang said was actually correct. If he wasn't lacking in ability, what was he doing in training room 44? Looking for abuse?!

  "Be here for training tomorrow morning!" Cheng Wei shouted in a dry voice, chasing them away.

  "Early in the morning, you've been bothering me like this, can I still go to work normally?" Li Meng responded with a bad tone, although his freedom had increased nowadays, he was still the secretary of the Ninth Group and couldn't train all day like other Yan Huang members.

  "Then it's tonight!" Cheng Wei's voice was tinged with a hint of helplessness.

  "It's fine, but I need to lie down now, or else I won't have the energy to go up!" Li Mang was extremely exhausted, not trying to be cute, but really having no strength left, and didn't even want to say much.

  Cheng Wei's face turned slightly darker, and he too couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Li Meng on the ground, starting his training as if nothing had happened.

  Cheng Wei's training was unadorned and simple, merely continuously punching and kicking the five copper men, but it was precisely this unadorned training method that made Li Meng feel a deep sense of respect.

  Constantly using his body to collide with the copper man, Cheng Wei still didn't feel any pain, and his physical strength was terrifying! Moreover, his seemingly ordinary kicks were always used at different angles and with different techniques. Although Li Mang didn't understand ancient martial arts, he could still feel the surging power within them, which made his heart tremble.

  His foot was a bit lame, but Cheng Wei didn't show any signs of discouragement. Instead, his fighting spirit became even more vigorous, which is enough to make people admire him.
