Gao Wuming: From Dockworker to Physical Achievement

The dock market and warehouse area.

When Chen Yi and the dockworkers started fighting.

An uninvited guest also arrived in the warehouse area.

As Tian Xiong walked along the stone-paved road in the warehouse area, he realized that Chen Yi might be targeting his daughter's apprentice.

He rushed here to capture Chen Yi.

"Old man, who are you looking for?"

The henchmen who were guarding the place noticed Tian Xiong and immediately blocked his way.

But they didn't drive them away. A lot of people had been looking for Chen Yi lately, so perhaps the old man and Master Yi had some kind of deal.

"Where is Chen Yi?" Tian Xiong asked.

"Calling Master Yi by his name like that..." the henchman thought to himself, this person is indeed extraordinary.

He said, "Master Yi went to the dock and hasn't returned yet. You can wait a while."

"Dockside."

Tian Xiong didn't want to wait a moment longer and immediately headed to the dock.

But as soon as he lifted his foot, he suddenly froze in place, staring blankly ahead.

There was a wooden pole there, with a headless corpse hanging from it.

Although the corpse was headless, he recognized the person's identity from their clothing and physique.

Liu Shan, the deputy head of the Iron Body Martial Arts School.

Martial artists will leave marks on their bodies due to the martial arts they practice, which can be seen unless the corpse is too badly damaged.

Upon recognizing his identity, Tian Xiong felt a sense of absurdity.

Liu Shan, a dignified Bone Forging Martial Master, actually died here and was even beheaded.

What exactly happened?

Tian Xiong originally thought that capturing Chen Yi would be a very easy thing.

But now that all the Bone Forging Martial Masters are dead here, he was just a Bone Forging Martial Master, and in terms of strength, he was probably not as strong as Liu Shanqiang.

Because Liu Shan is younger.

Therefore, Tian Xiong felt a sense of threat of death.

He was highly focused, his gaze constantly sweeping across the warehouse area, trying to figure out the cause of Liu Shan's death.

He has given up on the idea of ​​arresting Chen Yi.

The unknown is the most frightening thing, and before he knew the cause of Liu Shan's death, he was indeed somewhat afraid.

The henchman noticed that Tian Xiong seemed uneasy, as if he had frozen in place after seeing something.

He followed the other person's gaze and saw the corpse on the pole, and immediately understood.

The old man was probably frightened by the corpse.

"Don't be afraid. This guy came to cause trouble for Master Yi, so he was beaten to death by Master Yi. As long as he's not the one causing trouble, he'll be fine."

He was killed by Chen Yi.

Upon hearing Ma Zai's words, Tian Xiong sneered inwardly.

The guy who can only withstand one of his casual punches with all his might, yet he killed a Bone Forging Martial Master? He should take a good look at himself in the mirror and see if he's even worthy of it.

However, Liu Shan's death is an undeniable fact, indicating that Chen Yi has indeed mastered methods that pose a threat to Bone Forging Martial Masters.

What exactly is it?

Unable to figure it out for the time being, Tian Xiong could only stagger and retreat away.

In the blink of an eye, they left the warehouse area.

"Huh? Where are they?"

The henchman rubbed his eyes, and the old man who had just been talking had vanished in an instant.

"It's not some kind of unclean thing, is it?"

Thinking of the corpse hanging on the pole, could it be that the corpse attracted something?

The henchman felt a chill run down his spine and quickly went to find others, not daring to stay alone.

"I want to see what methods were used to kill Liu Shan."

At the dock market, Tian Xiong, who had left the warehouse area, had not gone far.

Instead, they simply settled down nearby and kept a close eye on the situation in the warehouse area.

This observation lasted for three days.

Chen Yi returned to the warehouse to practice his skills, while Li Cheng and the others began to carry out Chen Yi's instructions.

Select trustworthy men from among the henchmen to form a pistol squad.

At the same time, send more henchmen to the docks so that the laborers know who the dock boss is.

Furthermore, during these few days, the laborers were paid for each day's work, letting them know that Chen Yi's promise of sixteen copper coins was not empty talk.

With force in one hand and money in the other, the laborers were guaranteed to obey orders.

They were just waiting for Chen Yi's order to dare to strike and negotiate with the foreigners.

"Breaking news! Breaking news! The deputy head of the Iron Body Martial Arts School has been beaten to death! The killer is Chen Yi from the docks!" Newsboys ran around the dock market, waving freshly printed newspapers.

"Don't wander around," the rickshaw driver with the passenger scolded impatiently.

Ring ring.

The respectable person riding the bicycle didn't swear, but kept ringing the bicycle bell to express his dissatisfaction.

"Give me one."

Tian Xiong, who had been at the dock market for three days, stopped a newspaper boy.

"Sir, one copper coin," the newsboy said.

Tian Xiong bought a newspaper and picked it up to read.

The front page still featured nightclub playboys and dancers; these scandalous stories always manage to attract attention.

Then the imperial court suffered another defeat and negotiated some kind of contract with the foreigners. This was already commonplace and nothing to pay attention to.

Tian Xiong mainly looks at the middle sections of the page.

—The deputy head of the Iron Body Martial Arts School was beaten to death by Chen Yi from the dock. It is said that Chen Yi was just a laborer, but he received the teachings of a master and became a martial arts expert. The deputy head of the Iron Body Martial Arts School went up to provoke him, but was beaten to death.

In addition to recounting the events, the report also fabricated a story about Chen Yi's identity.

The post also included a picture of Chen Yi standing on Liu Shan, looking extremely arrogant.

Of course, Chen Yi's face wasn't captured in the shot; only his profile was shown.

This kind of narration and illustrations can be said to have imprinted Chen Yi's flamboyant persona into people's minds immediately, and the so-called master's transmission of skills adds even more mystery.

Tian Xiong overheard several of the people around him who had bought newspapers discussing Chen Yi's situation at the dock.

"A master passing on his skills, huh, what a fabrication."

Tian Xiong let out a cold laugh.

He's fought with Chen Yi before, so he knows Chen Yi's capabilities.

As for what tricks Chen Yi used to kill Liu Shan, after these few days of staking out, he already had an idea.

"They probably used a foreign gun to ambush Liu Shan when he wasn't paying attention."

Tian Xiong saw the henchmen with pistols at their waists.

Naturally, Liu Shan's death was attributed to the pistol.

In his mind, he already pictured Chen Yi respectfully greeting Liu Shan, only to have a dozen guns suddenly appear and shoot Liu Shan to death when the latter lowered his guard.

Bone Forging Martial Artists possess great vitality, but if they are caught off guard by a gunshot, they can indeed be killed.

A sense of sorrow welled up in Tian Xiong's eyes.

In the past, bone-forging martial artists were figures who could influence the prosperity of a city.

Without several hundred men forming a military formation, they simply couldn't stay.

But now, an ordinary person with a dozen or so guns can easily kill him with a hail of bullets.

"To use such despicable means and dare to publish it in the newspaper is simply to cut oneself off from the martial arts world. It will surely cause a shock in the martial arts world, and I'm afraid countless martial arts masters will come to kill him."

"However, this person must disregard the rules to dare to do such a lawless thing. Yan'er and Jiang Ran must have died at his hands. The method of practicing the Returning Mountain Fist is also in his hands."

"I have to act first to prevent the training method from falling into the wrong hands."

Upon realizing this, Tian Xiong immediately headed towards the warehouse area.
