Chapter 26: In High Spirits

  "I'm giving you two choices: either fight me one-on-one or get beaten up by me. Which one do you choose?" Zhao Rui stretched out two fingers.

  Liu Wei's face was ashen, no matter which one he chose, he had only one dead end.

  Zhao Rui continued: "If you fight me one-on-one, I'll only use three moves. If you can dodge them, then consider yourself lucky, and I won't bother you again."

  Liu Wei's heart suddenly rose with a glimmer of hope. Although the mysterious person's strength was formidable and terrifying, after all, he only made three moves. As long as he carefully responded and didn't engage in a fierce battle with his opponent, perhaps he could also escape this disaster.

  He swallowed hard and hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "Alright, I agree!"

  Under the brim of his hat, Zhao Rui revealed a hint of an evil smile. He liked to give people hope and then let them despair.

  "Are you ready?" he asked.

  Liu Wei was about to nod when Zhao Rui suddenly moved. He tapped his toes, instantly exerted force, and flashed towards Liu Wei like lightning, punching him in the mouth.

  Liu Wei let out a shrill cry of despair, his 1.9-meter tall and robust body flying backward like a piece of paper.

  Zhao Rui landed a punch and immediately retreated into the air, kicking out horizontally and heavily kicking Liu Wei's body.

  Liu Wei's body was lifted into the air once again, and the sound of his bones shattering clearly entered the ears of every onlooker, causing their faces to turn pale in unison.

  Cruel! It's really too cruel! Just said something that shouldn't be said and got beaten up so badly!

  The boxing gym members who didn't understand the grudges between Zhao Rui and Liu Wei secretly thought to themselves, their fear of Zhao Rui grew even thicker.

  "The third move!"

  Zhao Rui let out a low shout and jumped up, one leg kicking out fiercely once again.

  Boom

  Liu Wei's body was directly kicked onto the wall and then slid down to the floor along the wall, causing the entire room to shake violently, with dust falling rapidly.

  At this time, he could no longer withstand Zhao Rui's bombardment and completely fainted, his arms and legs were twisted and deformed, and the bones were broken into pieces!

  Zhao Rui walked up to Liu Wei, looked down at him and said coldly: "You shouldn't have touched my brother."

  His voice was low and Liu Wei fainted, others were far away and didn't hear.

  Throwing down a fistful of fear to the crowd in the gym, Zhao Rui strode out of Li Yong Fist Hall.

  He walked for a long time, and the people in the boxing gym still didn't dare to move or speak to each other, fearing that this terrifying kicker was still lurking in the shadows, and if he were to be provoked again, the consequences would be unthinkable.

  After more than a dozen minutes, someone finally plucked up the courage to quietly come to the entrance of the boxing gym, looked around cautiously, and after confirming that the mysterious kicker had left, they called 120 for an ambulance to rush over and rescue the person.

  The boxing gym students whispered to each other, deciding to quit the Liuyong Boxing Gym. They wanted to learn elsewhere as this place was too unsafe. This time it was Liu Wei and Li Liyong who were unlucky, but who knows if they would be next?

  The news of the Force Brave Boxing Gym being kicked out was written on a blog by one of the gym's students, who not only detailed the situation at the time but also candidly recounted his own fear.

  This blog post was quickly reposted and spread, shocking the entire free fighting community of Dong'an. For a time, both online and offline, people were discussing it enthusiastically: who exactly is this mysterious challenger, why did he go to Li Lihong's boxing gym, and whether or not he has a personal vendetta against Li Lihong.

  In Room 312 of Dongfang Hospital, Luo Cheng was still lying in bed. With his injuries, he would need at least a week to be discharged from the hospital.

  Zhao Rui sat beside him, reading the newspaper. Zhou Wei was listlessly browsing the internet on his phone. Han Xing had gone to watch the team's match and hadn't come over.

  The ward was silent, with no one speaking, and it was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard.

  Zhou Wei accidentally entered Baidu Tieba Dong'an Bar while browsing online, and a post immediately caught his attention.

  "Liyong Fist Hall was kicked by a mysterious person, and the owner Li Liyong and his disciple Liu Wei were seriously injured!"

  "What? Li Lihong was kicked out of the house?"

  Zhou Wei was taken aback at first, then let out a loud cry, startling both Zhao Rui and Luo Cheng.

  Zhao Rui glared at him discontentedly: "What's with all these sudden movements? This is a hospital."

  Zhou Wei chuckled and said, "Whoever reads this post will be as shocked as I am. Especially Fatso, he's definitely in a great mood, his injuries will heal more than half."

  "Go ahead and blow it." Luo Cheng glanced at him with a look of disbelief on his face.

  "Take a look yourself."

  Zhou Wei stuffed his mobile phone into Luo Cheng's hand.

  Luocheng's heart skipped a beat when he saw the title of that post, and he was both shocked and delighted. However, he still had some doubts in his mind, after all, it's hard to distinguish between true and false information on the internet, and clickbait titles are rampant, a single title can't explain anything.

  He hastily entered the post and carefully read it.

  This post is a repost from an article written by a student of the Li Yongquan Hall, which describes in great detail the situation at the time of the kick and his own mental state.

  Luo Cheng believed about 70-80% after reading it, and his depressed mood suddenly became relaxed.

  "Haha, unexpectedly, Li Liyong and Liu Wei were really kicked out of the martial arts gym! They didn't even get a chance to see their opponents' faces clearly before they were beaten into half-cripples and sent to the hospital. I reckon they won't be able to come out for several months!"

  He laughed happily twice and continued reading the following comments.

  This post is extremely popular in Dong'an Bar, with countless follow-up posts:

  "That person who kicked the ball is amazing! No, I mean, it's a perfect shot!"

  "The national champion of free combat was actually knocked out by him with just one punch, it's simply brutal!"

  "What's upstairs? Is it a human? Or is it the Incredible Hulk?"

  "Wow, they're truly a martial arts master."

  "Who knows the identity of that kicking expert? I want to ask him to be my master."

  "Haven't you seen the owner of the building say that the identity of the high-handed person is mysterious? From head to toe, he didn't reveal his face at all."

  "Didn't even show his face and took down the boxing gym owner? Indeed, he's powerful. Let's mourn for the boxing gym owner, it's too tragic. Even if we want to avenge him in the future, we won't be able to find anyone."

  "Is there really someone so powerful? The landlord is exaggerating a bit!"

  "Yes! That's simply the Dong'an version of Superman, how is that possible? The thread author is talking nonsense. Identification complete."

  "Go upstairs, if you don't believe me, you can go to Li Yongquan's boxing gym to take a look yourself. That gym has already closed down. If you still don't believe it, you can also ask the boxers and students who were there at that time. What I wrote is absolutely true."

  “……”

  “……”

  After reading the follow-up post, Luo Cheng's last bit of doubt disappeared, and he confirmed that Li Liyong's Fist Hall was indeed kicked out, and both Li Liyong and Liu Wei were also severely beaten. He felt extremely happy and his face broke into a wide smile.

  "Boss, come and take a look at this post! It says that the mysterious master of Li Yongquan Hall was kicked to the ground! What a delightful thing to see!"

  Zhao Rui put down the newspaper in his hand, took a quick glance at it, and thought that those messages were very interesting. However, he naturally wouldn't tell Luo Cheng that the mysterious mastermind was himself.

  "Somebody has helped you vent your anger, you should be happy now."

  "Of course, I'm delighted." Luo Cheng's eyes narrowed into a slit, "Nor do I know who that mysterious master is, so powerful, with Li Lianyong's strength, he couldn't even block one move."

  Zhou Wei said, "Yeah, it's really powerful. Who knows, maybe he's the kind of martial arts master that Li is describing! If I could meet him, I'd be willing to become his apprentice and spend whatever money it takes. How awesome is that?! He took down Li Lixiong with just one punch!"

  I am a cultivator, not some martial arts master. Zhao Rui muttered in protest in his heart.

  Luocheng suddenly remembered that when he was competing with Liu Wei yesterday, there was a mysterious master who secretly helped him. He felt that these two things might be related and it was possible that they were the same person!

  But who is this mysterious mastermind after all? And why would they want to help me and stand up for myself? Could it be someone I know?

  He thought of this, and slightly raised his head, glanced at Zhao Rui, then looked at Zhou Wei, his eyes wandering aimlessly.

  It shouldn't be Zhou Wei, he was calling me when the fight broke out! As for Zhao Lao Da, it's even more impossible, in two years, I haven't seen him win a single match, unless his genes have mutated or something.

  In his heart, he was muttering to himself, and Zhao Rui tapped his big head with a newspaper.

  "Hey fatty, what are you staring at me for? I'm not a beauty!"

  Zhou Wei adjusted his glasses and said seriously: "I won't suddenly change my sexual orientation just because I got beaten up, or else I'd be in trouble."

  Luo Cheng rolled his eyes and raised his middle finger with his left hand, expressing his discontent.
