You say when it cos to dating, what guy doesn't dream of dragging his girlfriend to a hotel, yet that kid refuses even to pay for the room, and he's the marketing manager at Tengyuan Group, with his father as vice president, they're loaded! It's hopeless, really hopeless!
"Truly a tiger father, no dog son," Luo Chao muttered quietly, and Yan Bingxi asked, "Brother Lu, what are you mumbling about?"
"Nothing," Luo Chao wiped his mouth with a napkin, "Your son really needs to change, or he'll never find a wife in this lifeti."
Yan Bingxi nodded, "Let's have a drink, no more talk about such trivial matters."
You should reflect on yourself first; your son learns from you. Luo Chao couldn't openly say it, so he only thought it to himself. He clinked glasses with Yan Bingxi, and then a cold glint flashed in his eyes, a tipsy smile on his face, "Mr. Yan, I'm going to take a leak, be right back."
"Alright, but don't stagger into the ladies' room drunk," Yan Bingxi laughed and scolded, musing to himself about how young people these days really can't hold their liquor.
Luo Chao walked into a dark alley and said with coldness in his voice, "How long are you going to hide? Co out!"
A man in his thirties stepped out from the shadows, clapping his hands, "Impressive, you still managed to find ."
"Who are you?" Luo Chao asked, looking at this imposing man with a sturdy build, thick eyebrows, and tiger-like eyes, full of hostility.
The saying goes, those who co are not kind, and the kind do not co. Luo Chao imdiately sensed a hint of danger nearby, which made him confront the man directly.
The man shouted loudly, "I'm Kong Rui, a coach from Jiangning Military District, and also Hua Commander's bodyguard."
Luo Chao didn't sense any killing intent from him, or he would have already struck him down. He furrowed his brow slightly, "What? Did Hua Zhendong send you over for revenge?"
"Not exactly revenge, Hua Zhendong said your skills are remarkable. I just wanted to learn a few moves," Kong Rui said casually, seemingly not taking Luo Chao seriously—a twenty-sothing kid, how tough could he be? Hua must have exaggerated.
Luo Chao understood. He heard Hua Commander always protects his own, and this ti he must have sent his bodyguard to teach Luo Chao a lesson. Learn a few moves—sounds nice enough.
"If I fight you just because you asked, wouldn't I lose face?" Luo Chao's lips curled into a sinister smile.
Kong Rui froze, "What do you an?"
Luo Chao chuckled, "You're the one challenging , losing ans you suffer the consequences, but if I win, shouldn't there be so reward for ?"
Reward? Kong Rui was both amused and annoyed. Despite not having fought many before, it was the first ti he encountered an opponent asking for compensation, "Alright, tell , what do you want as a reward?"
"Make Hua Zhendong behave and stop causing trouble," Luo Chao's words were aid at Hua Commander. Kong Rui was infuriated, how dare he give orders to Hua Commander, "Let's see if you even have the ability to defeat first!"
Kong Rui rushed forward, his arms waving, turning into a form of the Eight Trigrams Palm, soft with strength, strong but soft!
"Eight Trigrams Palm?" Luo Chao smirked, interesting, and imdiately moved, throwing a punch straight at his chest. Kong Rui's hands wrapped around his fist, using four ounces to move a thousand pounds, instantly dissipating Luo Chao's unmatched force and countering with a backhand slap.
Luo Chao retreated in mid-air, delivering a sidekick. His movents were swift; his fist was resolved, and a whip kick followed through. Kong Rui couldn't help but exclaim at the speed and power, no wonder Hua and five brothers suffered under him.
At that mont, Kong Rui had no choice but to take the hit on his chest. His chest contracted slightly, absorbing much of the force, then flexed hard, rebounding the energy.
Luo Chao was sent flying, sorsaulting in the air and landing steadily five ters away. As soon as he touched the ground, a gleam flickered in his eyes. With a bang, he unleashed all his power, a sharp sound piercing the air, and Kong Rui's pupils widened as Luo Chao vanished.
In the blink of an eye, Kong Rui sensed a shadow appearing, deploying the Eight Trigrams Palm with both hands, a fist erupted towards him, boom!
Kong Rui thought he could deflect the power with the palm technique, but realized he'd been mistaken; the speed and power were beyond his ability to counter. Bang! His palms were struck, his arms feeling dislocated, and he was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.
"Gah!" Kong Rui spat a mouthful of blood, astonished, gazing at Luo Chao who stood before him. Luo Chao smiled, but to Kong Rui, it felt chilling!
How could he be so strong? That kind of extre speed and power wasn't sothing a human body could possess. Kong Rui had been told before that once a person's speed and strength reached their peak, even the Eight Trigrams Palm could be easily overco—that's invincible power!
Luo Chao said seriously, "If I hadn't held back half of my power, you might have been crippled." Kong Rui heard this, his heart sank further. He's so young, yet his martial arts have reached such a realm; compared to him, I'm like an ant.
"Thank you for showing rcy," Kong Rui clasped his fists, but the movent brought pain to his arms and chest, shivering him.
Luo Chao chuckled, "We have no enmity between us, so there's no need to disable you, but if you co looking for trouble next ti, don't bla for not showing rcy."
Kong Rui's breath caught, quickly forcing a smile, "No dare, no dare. By the way, may I ask which sect you're from?"
Huaxia Country has a history spanning thousands of years, with many Ancient Martial Sects still existing today. Although Kong Rui practiced Eight Trigrams Palm from Ancient Martial Arts, compared to genuine masters, he's far behind, an outer disciple at best. Facing Luo Chao, he was defeated in three moves, and Luo Chao hadn't even used full strength in the first two. Kong Rui believes Luo Chao must be from an Ancient Martial Sect, else why would he be so formidable?
Luo Chao shook his head, "I'm of no sect, just taught by a master!"
Kong Rui was curious about his master, wondering how they produced such a strong pupil. But he knew well that asking about soone's master is a taboo in the martial world.
"Your technique lacks any formal moves, embodying the saying 'in martial arts, speed breaks all,'" Kong Rui managed a small smile, realizing this. He understood how much rigorous training Luo Chao must have undergone to attain such godlike speed and strength.
