Chapter 26: Seizing Victory

  The outsiders' gamble, the people in training room No. 44 were naturally unaware.

  "Go ahead and make the first move!" Unlike before, Liu Junqi didn't suddenly launch a sneak attack. Instead, he 'kindly' reminded Li Mang that with Cheng Wei around, he had to restrain himself somewhat. After all, it wouldn't affect the outcome of the fight, would it?

  "Whoosh......" Before he had even finished speaking, with a whooshing sound, Li Meng suddenly darted out like the wind, his fist shooting straight at his face.

  Liu Junchi obviously did not expect this, so for a while he was somewhat flustered, which also caused him to lose the best reaction time, and he simply retreated instinctively.

  Bang!

  Li Meng helped him with a punch, which landed on his left cheek, causing him to stumble backward, and if he hadn't had a solid foundation, he would have fallen to the ground.

  Even so, Liu Junchi's face instantly turned red and swollen. The injury he suffered may not be serious, but it was enough to make him furious, his face turned green and black on the other side, his fists clenched tightly, and the blue veins bulged clearly.

  To be honest, Li Meng suddenly made a move, and everyone who saw this scene felt surprised. Cai Cai's face was slightly ugly, especially when he received Yang Fan's short message: Your team member is not bad...

  Not bad, you! Xie Cai cursed inwardly and ignored him.

  In fact, the most relieved person at this moment is Yang Fan. With this one move, even if Li Mang loses in the end, he won't lose face and can even boast in front of Cai Gu: My secretary is more powerful than your eight formal members!

  "Li Meng, you're dead!" Liu Junchi's anger erupted like a volcano, his face flushed with shame as he strode towards him.

  He is indeed skilled, with a stable lower body, every step he takes is solid and the ground slightly shakes. The Southern Fist's movements are simple yet varied in hand techniques, with swift consecutive punches, steady footwork, and fierce attacks. Liu Junchi dares to be arrogant because he has real skills.

  He only saw him forming a "bridge" shape with his straight arm, and in a few steps, he came to Li Meng's face, his hands quickly dispatched towards Li Meng's head, the force was extremely great, if hit, it would even directly kill.

  What is Li Meng's advantage? In terms of martial arts, he is naturally no match for Liu Junchi, after all, he has only learned a few days. His real advantage is actually his strength, and at this time Li Meng forgot all the routines he had learned in the past few days, and instead roughly used his fists to confront Liu Junchi.

  "Bang!" The two men simultaneously retreated, their fists slightly trembling, clearly both having taken a bitter blow. They exchanged a glance, both of them shocked.

  Cheng Wei looked at Li Mang with a nod of approval. The countermeasure adopted by Li Mang was very accurate. It's not that the routine is bad, it's just that Li Mang can't connect the routines he has learned together for the time being. If used randomly, it may even be caught by the opponent and lead to self-inflicted trouble.

  Of course, it's not to say that the training for these days is all in vain. Compared to the beginning, Li Meng's speed and reaction ability have been greatly improved, otherwise he would not be so enthusiastic about coming every day after work.

  "Hah!" Liu Junchi's energy sank into his dantian, and he let out a loud shout to make his movements even more powerful. This was also one of the major characteristics of the Nanquan school.

  Li Meng continued to use his own rough and violent fighting style, Liu Junchi's energy looked very brave, but his movements seemed barbaric and disorderly. However, due to his great strength and thick skin, he was able to match Liu Junchi, exchanging blows for over a dozen rounds without either gaining the upper hand.

  This scene made everyone who saw it feel shocked, and the two people's strength was actually just ordinary, only at the entry level, but who is Li Meng? They all knew clearly, now seeing him like a different person, can't help but be shocked.

  As time went on, Liu Junchi's inferiority gradually became apparent, and he couldn't defeat Li Mang for a long time. He felt anxious and fearful in his heart, afraid that he would lose to Li Mang, which would be very embarrassing. So he had to win... But this so-called determination was actually just a manifestation of his own weakness, not only did it have no effect, but it also made him more flustered, and the flaws he exposed became more and more obvious, and his response to Li Mang's attack became more and more disheveled.

  On the other hand, Li Mang's experience in intense battles has become increasingly rich, and his fighting skills have become more and more adept. His progress is quite evident. Perhaps this was Cheng Wei's intention, although he could also confront Li Mang, but due to their vastly different strengths, Li Mang would only be at the receiving end of a beating, which to some extent would also limit Li Mang's progress.

  Let him and Bo Zhong's Liu Jun Chi fight each other, the effect is obviously better, even cold-faced Cheng Wei can't help but nod frequently.

  At this moment, the situation in the field changed again. Liu Junchi made a fatal mistake and was caught by Li Meng, who took advantage of the opportunity to grab his hand and slammed him with an over-the-shoulder throw.

  "Bang!" This was a move that Cheng Wei had taught him the other day, a ruthless move that was slightly different from the usual over-the-shoulder throw. The waist hit the ground first, followed by the lower body, making it extremely damaging, especially to the lumbar vertebrae.

  Liu Junchi struggled on the ground for a while, but ultimately couldn't get up again. Perhaps he was too seriously injured, or perhaps he couldn't escape the demon in his heart. His face turned red and then he fainted.

  "...The entire scene was in a state of deathly silence, such a result was a huge shock to them, everyone stared blankly ahead, silent and still."

  "Haha, thank you Cai Guanshi for gifting me a huge sum of money! Also, I've already arranged for nursing care for you." Yang Fan sent a 'congratulatory message' to Cai Guan at the first opportunity.

  "Bang!" Cai Cai didn't respond, because the screen in front of him had been smashed to pieces. What could he say? He was the most enthusiastic when they started betting, but who would have thought that in the end it was just a case of "losing the rice while trying to steal the chicken".

  The nurse pushed Liu Junchi away, and only Li Mang and Cheng Wei were left in the training room 44. But Li Mang, who had just won, did not receive praise, but instead faced Cheng Wei's cold gaze: "You must have seen your own shortcomings, having brute strength but no cleverness, if it weren't for that kid being stunned by you at the beginning, you wouldn't be able to beat him!"

  This doesn't sound good, Li Meng heard it and felt quite uncomfortable, but it was also a piercing truth. He had already exchanged blows with Liu Junchi, so he naturally understood the gap between himself and his opponent. Imagine, if at the beginning he hadn't been given a punch, hadn't been enraged, it would probably have been him who ended up being dragged away by the nurse!

  "What Director Cheng said is right!" Li Meng finally humbly accepted this criticism.

  Cheng Wei is very satisfied with Li Mao's performance. Only by being neither arrogant nor impatient can one make greater progress. Liu Junchi is a bloody lesson, and Li Mao is able to do so, which is truly gratifying and also a good material for practicing martial arts.

  However, approval does not mean that Cheng Wei is lenient in teaching Li Meng, but rather more severe. Practicing martial arts is different from reading books, and talent may not be useful. No matter who it is, one must pay 99% of their sweat and add a little bit of talent to achieve something. The bitterness and hardship involved are not what ordinary people can bear.

  Li Mang was bitter and happy about this, the bitterness was due to hard work, and the happiness was because with increasingly intense training, plus every night he had honey practice, he made great progress every day.

  ……

  A few days ago, Li Meng not only made Yang Fan earn a lot of money, but also gained face. Although there was no monetary or material reward, he arranged an external task for him instead.

  "If it's still about catching ghosts, then forget it!" Li Mang had mixed feelings of anticipation and caution. The last 'Lemon Mountain Female Ghost' case had left a lingering fear in his heart, and he was unwilling to take on such tasks again, preferring to stay locked up in the mansion.

  "Now, where can we find so many ghosts to catch?" Yang Fan laughed, but then his expression turned serious. He habitually adjusted his glasses and said, "This time, a superpowered individual has been discovered among the civilians. You will go alone to bring her back to the Yan Huang Institute for examination. If you can persuade her, do so; if not, you must bring her back by force. There can be no mistakes!"

  "Yes, I guarantee to complete the task!" Li Meng was overjoyed, took the relevant documents from Yang Fan's hands and ran back to his own small courtyard to pack his bags. After bidding farewell to Xiao Tian, Zhang Daoshi, Gui Yi and Cheng Wei, he left Yan Huang Academy for the first time alone.

  Li Mang didn't know that soon after he left, another mysterious man followed suit, and it was unclear whether this was a coincidence or someone's deliberate doing.
