Fanatic!

Chapter 30 That kid finally showed up
After jumping into the sandpit, Chen Wujun paused for a moment, then swayed slightly and waded out.

Although his speed was not fast, it exuded a strange and steady force. It was more like he slid out than waded out, like a venomous snake swimming in the sand.

Senior Brother Li's mind was filled with "What the hell!"

In such a short time, Chen Wujun has actually developed this kind of "strength".

You should know that what you practice in this sandpit is the integrated strength formed by root strength, penetrating strength, and explosive strength.

Root strength is like a root that takes hold on the ground, ensuring a stable lower body; penetrating strength is the power that flows from the soles of the feet to the knees, hips, waist, and spine, running through each joint; explosive strength is the power of the body that bursts out in an instant.

The combined force formed by these three forces.

Chen Wujun used to learn things quickly, but this time...

Senior Brother Li didn't want to think about how long it took him to master the skill.

"I refuse to believe it!" Senior Brother Li's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty. He stood up, walked to the weapon rack, picked up a white waxwood staff and shield, and turned back to say, "Stop!"

"What's wrong?" Chen Wujun looked at his senior brother with some confusion.

Senior Brother Li threw the shield directly to Chen Wujun.

"Let's see if you can use what you learned on flat ground in the sandpit!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Senior Brother Li suddenly flicked out his long staff, which shot straight at Chen Wujun's shoulder where he wasn't holding a shield, like a rainbow piercing the sun.

This attack was swift and brutal; if Chen Wujun couldn't react effectively in the sandpit, he would have no choice but to endure it.

However, at this moment, Chen Wujun almost subconsciously turned his waist and hips, as if he were on flat ground.

The legs, which were stuck in the sand, were also moved by the hips, and then turned slightly to the side.

Snapped!
Chen Wujun's shield slammed solidly into the white waxwood pole, which grazed the shield and missed its mark.

A glint flashed in Li's eyes, and with a flick of his wrist, the white waxwood staff spun in the air before striking horizontally at Chen Wujun's exposed knee.

This sudden change of tactics was extremely swift, ruthless, and cunning, with even greater momentum, directly producing a whooshing sound as it was drawn.

If it were thrown at someone, it could break their bones.

Chen Wujun was startled by this change of tactics. He exerted force with his waist and hips again, his center of gravity instantly dropped, and he sat down, causing the lower edge of his shield to hit the white waxwood pole.

puff!
The ash tree trunk was driven directly into the sand.

Senior Brother Li stared at Chen Wujun for a few seconds, then pulled out the white waxwood staff and turned to put it on the weapon rack.

"You can practice by yourself today!"

After saying that, he walked away with his hands behind his back.

Chen Wujun always felt that Senior Brother Li's back view was somewhat desolate.

As the warehouse door slammed shut, he vaguely heard a voice say, "Damn it!"

"It seems I've been practicing my whole-body strength correctly!" Chen Wujun thought to himself as he withdrew his gaze.

He tossed the rattan shield aside and continued to slowly "walk" in the sandpit.

At noon, Chen Wujun came out of the sandpit and stepped out onto the ground. Without the resistance of the sand, he felt uncomfortable.

I felt that way last night too.

It took me a while to get used to it after walking around the warehouse.

When he walked, his hips would rotate slightly first to move his legs, unlike normal people who rely entirely on the strength of their thighs. His feet hardly left the ground, and each step seemed as if he were wading through unseen mud.

With a thought, his feet glided out, silently yet with remarkable stability.

Then he stomped his foot hard.

boom!
The ground emitted a duller, more penetrating sound than usual, and the entire warehouse seemed to tremble slightly.

Chen Wujun darted out in one leap, several minutes faster than before.

This time, it wasn't just a matter of using the thighs to generate power; rather, the entire body came together as a unified force.

Then Chen Wujun shifted his weight and turned in a different direction almost without any hindrance, his footwork becoming a triangular stance.

The entire movement was as smooth as flowing water.

"Roots like an old python, movements like a poisonous snake... So that's how it is." Chen Wujun suddenly understood.

Then came joy.

Surprisingly, this footwork is quite easy to learn.

If you master footwork and sword and shield techniques these days, your strength will greatly increase.

Moreover, there's the "Old Bear Hugging a Tree" stake; with practice, he felt his thighs and back becoming stronger.

Now that the whole body has been integrated, the destructive power of punches, elbows, and knees has increased significantly.

Chen Wujun arrived in front of a wooden dummy, first standing in the Golden Rooster stance, his body instantly arching like a bow, and then his knee slammed into it with extreme ferocity.

Bang! Snap!
The child's arm, as thick as a stake, was snapped off and sent flying, crashing into the wall.

Chen Wujun was stunned. He hadn't expected that his knee strike, after mastering the whole body's strength and using the power of the five bows, would be so powerful.

The child's arm, as thick as a stake, was broken off by the impact.

If that knee had hit someone... it would have broken their bones.

Chen Wujun truly felt the power of his knee strike.

I looked down at my knee; it was red, but I only felt a slight pain.

These days, I've been practicing boxing, and my knuckles, elbows, and knees have developed thick calluses. With the help of medication, my bone density is also increasing, and my bones are becoming stronger and stronger.

Even his calves were quite rough from kicking the wooden stakes for so long.
"We still need more real-world experience!" Chen Wujun thought back to those pickpockets from last time.

"I'll capture them and use them as human stakes someday!"

“But we don’t need them now! We can’t keep hiding forever. As long as I show my face, it won’t be long before Li Dong’s people come knocking on our door.”

Three days later, Chen Wujun went directly to the dentist in the evening.

"Hold your things safe, your uncle will come to pick us up in a bit!" Chen Hanliang took out the things from behind the curtain. Paper clothes, shoes, pants, hats, and five-colored paper and paper money were all there.

A moment later, Chen Wujun heard a car horn honking downstairs. He went to the window and looked out. He saw a yellow taxi parked below, and a middle-aged man with thinning hair got out of the car and waved at the window.

"Uncle is here."

Chen Wujun's uncle, Chen Hanwen, drives a taxi on the night shift. The two of them came down carrying their things.

The uncle's eyes lit up when he saw Chen Wujun: "It's been months since I last saw you, and you look so energetic!"

"You seem to have grown taller!"

Chen Wujun was dressed in an ordinary blue tracksuit, but he was full of energy and his bright, sharp eyes could not be hidden.

"He's still growing, so he's a bit taller than usual," Chen Wujun said.

A few days ago, when Chen Wujun went to buy pants, he measured his height and found that he had grown two centimeters in the past few months and was already 1.72 meters tall.

After stuffing the two men's belongings into the trunk, the uncle got into the car and asked as he drove, "I heard you've been practicing martial arts lately, how's it going?"

"good!"

“It’s fine if you like martial arts, but it’s not a long-term thing. Martial arts can’t earn you a living. You should follow your dad and study dentistry properly. I didn’t want to study it back then, so I ended up driving a taxi! Exposed to the wind and sun every day, it’s not as good as fixing teeth!”

"If you really don't like learning, you can learn to repair cars! Your cousin is learning to repair cars at a car repair shop..."

Chen Wujun looked out the window, paying no attention to his uncle's words.

He knew his uncle meant well.

But he didn't want to live like that for the rest of his life.

He had heard someone say something from long ago: "A true man, if he cannot live on five tripods of food, he should die cooked in five tripods of food."

He wants to live in a mansion, drive luxury cars, and marry a celebrity.

After saying a few words, the uncle started chatting with Chen Hanliang again.

"Recently, lawmakers have been talking about demolishing the old city walls on TV every day. Is it true?"

“The city has over 100,000 people. How will they be resettled after the demolition? Where will they be resettled? Those councilors just want this land to build shopping malls and skyscrapers…” Chen Hanliang was filled with distrust towards those councilors.

The group arrived at Wo Hop Shek Cemetery in Fanling and waited for a while before their aunt arrived.

Compared to the Chen brothers, Chen Hanliang and Chen Hanwen, their aunt married well and lives a much better life.

My aunt has a cousin who is pursuing a master's degree in psychology.

Upon seeing Chen Wujun, her aunt's eyes lit up: "How come Ah Jun looks so energetic now!"

"It's like he's become a completely different person... He's grown into a young man in the blink of an eye."

"Come visit your aunt more often; your cousin is rarely seen..."

Listening to the nagging of their aunt and uncle, the group entered the cemetery to pay their respects at the graves.

Then they burned five-colored paper clothes and paper money for the cold, and after going down the mountain, they ate together before going home.

Back at his lodgings, Chen Wujun lay on his bed playing with a cow horn folding knife. The handle was 13 centimeters long and the blade was 10 centimeters long. The handle was shaped like a cow horn, which was good for chopping.

"These days I have made considerable progress in my physical fitness, footwork, and sword and shield skills. I can say that I have a certain ability to protect myself."

"We've already used up several magnetic field crystals; we can't keep dragging this on."

"The preparations are almost complete. I've hidden wooden planks at the entrance of each alley, which I can use as shields temporarily."

Chen Wujun considered his current situation and preparations.

"In five days..." Chen Wujun still had two magnetic field crystals in his hand, but in five days he would only have one left.

Having made up his mind, Chen Wujun placed the knife under his pillow, and a few minutes later, his breathing became extremely steady.

Another five days passed.

Chen Wujun went directly to the martial arts school in the morning, and after leaving the school in the evening, he went directly to Jindi Finance.

"Junzi, I haven't seen you lately, have you been very busy?" Jixiang said enthusiastically when she saw Junzi.

The other employees at Gemdale Finance all looked up at them with strange expressions.

Everyone knows that Chen Wujun recently offended Wenlong, and Wenlong will definitely retaliate against him.

He disappeared for more than half a month, and everyone thought he was scared.

Although Chen Wujun was just a teenager, he immediately followed Shark Nine upon arrival, which many people found unacceptable and now looked down on him even more.

"Yes, I've been very busy lately." Chen Wujun smiled with his eyes narrowed, tilting his head to notice that everyone was looking at him, and he took in everyone's gaze as well.

"Thanks for caring about me so much, Brother Jixiang!" Chen Wujun smiled and turned to go to Shark Nine's office.

Ji Xiang watched Chen Wujun's retreating figure with amusement.

As soon as Chen Wujun entered Shark Nine's office, Shark Nine's gaze fell on Chen Wujun's feet.

He walked as if wading through mud, making no sound, yet with remarkable steadiness.

"Not bad! You've mastered the whole-body strength so quickly, and your mud-walking technique is quite impressive!" Shark Nine praised.

"You've practiced weaponry?"

"You've practiced swordsmanship and shield fighting!" Chen Wujun asked after sitting down.
"Senior sister, where can we buy crystals?"

"The largest magnetic crystal smuggling channel and black market in the East Ninth District... is being run by Hetu. Didn't I tell you?" Shark Nine asked with a surprised look.

Chen Wujun: ? ? ?

"Senior sister, you didn't say that."

"You really didn't say that? Maybe you forgot... I'll take you there in a few days."

……

In the north of the city, Wenlong was reviewing the accounts in his hands when a knock sounded at the door, and a subordinate walked in.

"Boss, that kid has been hiding for so many days, and he finally showed up today! I thought he wouldn't dare to show his face!"

"He just went to Gemdale Finance."

“Jindi Finance…Sha Jiu…” Wenlong snorted coldly, his gaze sweeping over his subordinates as he cursed irritably:

"Why are you telling me this? Do I have to teach you? Just send someone to do it!"

That kid was just a nobody, someone he could easily crush; he didn't care at all.

Last time, Shark Nine didn't give him any face at all and sent people to arrest that kid. Let's see how Shark Nine will ask me for his release.

After we capture him, we'll cripple him. Even if we return him to Shark Nine, he'll still be a useless cripple!
