25: Fighting Lesson: Beating and Being Beaten

Half an hour later.

Wu Zhen clapped his hands cheerfully and said to the crew, “The sixteen moves we just practiced in decomposition are the basics of combat. I suppose you’ve all memorized them, right?”

“We’ve memorized them!”

The crew also replied with joyful expressions.

Only Guo Feng stood proudly to the side, his face bruised and swollen, looking as if ‘it wasn’t me who got beaten up.’

In reality, his body ached terribly!

That damned Old Wu, he might truly be taking personal revenge; he taught those sixteen basic moves for a full half-hour.

It left him with no part of his body unscathed.

However, he endured it.

Old Wu’s beating was real, but his teaching was also real.

Guo Feng had already committed these sixteen moves to memory.

Old Wu had also said that as a squad leader, he could receive an additional spiritual energy primordial stone each week.

So, this beating wasn't in vain.

He remembered everyone who had secretly chuckled; one by one, he’d beat them until they were looking for their teeth on the ground later.

Wu Zhen smiled and nodded, then said, “Alright, next, the squad leader will arrange two lessons of practice. After you finish, I’ll test your levels and distribute this week’s rewards.”

He paused, then looked at Guo Feng, “Guo Feng, your reward will be distributed at the same time.”

“Got it!”

Guo Feng’s eyes lit up.

The crew had been laughing a second ago, but the next second they were stunned.

The squad leader arranging practice?

Then what about you, instructor?

Before the crew could speak, Wu Zhen clapped his hands and walked out, thoroughly satisfied.

Bang!

The door closed.

The crew’s hearts tightened, as if they had a bad premonition.

“Alright, everyone, did you hear what Old Wu said? He wants me to arrange the training.”

“I won’t say much; first, learn one-on-one with me, and then, practice in pairs.”

Guo Feng clapped his hands, just like Brother Dong’s speaking habit.

“Why don’t we just practice in pairs directly?”

Zhao Liang looked displeased.

Zhang Xi also said, “You’re just a squad leader, not an instructor. Why do you get to decide?”

“Heh.”

Guo Feng’s lips curved upwards, “Dissatisfied? You can either go cry to Old Wu, or you can practice with me!”

He changed his tone, “I’m doing this for your own good!”

As he spoke, his gaze sharpened, “Zhang Xi, step forward!”

“Guo Feng, you—”

Zhang Xi immediately knew that Guo Feng was going to take the opportunity to retaliate.

He hadn't finished speaking.

Whoosh—

Guo Feng vanished from his spot, and the next moment, a sharp gust of wind came from beside his ear.

At the same time, Guo Feng’s voice said: “Left hook!”

Bang—

“Ah?!”

A sharp pain shot through Zhang Xi’s head, and then, with a scream, he flew diagonally outwards.

He instinctively shielded his face with his arms.

At the same time, he prepared to seize an opportunity to counterattack.

But, what followed made him realize how naive his thoughts were.

“Right hook, left uppercut, double fist smash, right snap kick…”

A series of shouts reached his ears, accompanied by Guo Feng’s punches landing with solid thuds.

A sixteen-move combo, executed perfectly, hit Zhang Xi so hard in mid-air that he had no time to resist.

He swayed back and forth constantly.

Completely controlled by Guo Feng, he couldn’t even land on the ground.

Occasionally, when it seemed Guo Feng couldn’t connect, he would teleport, cheating to link the moves again.

“Final blow, Twin Peaks Cannon Hammer, go!”

Bang—

Zhang Xi was seen falling from the sky, and Guo Feng teleported to the predicted position.

His fists were like cannon fire.

He slammed them fiercely into Zhang Xi’s stomach.

Blasting Zhang Xi more than ten meters away.

He crashed heavily against the wall.

Groaning in pain, his body was covered in bruises, looking even more gruesome than Guo Feng’s.

“Ow, ow!”

Zhang Xi groaned in agony.

The entire crew was stunned!

The instructor taught the sixteen decomposed moves; he didn’t teach you combos!

You can combine them so quickly?

“Huh?”

At this moment, Wu Zhen, who was secretly watching Guo Feng teach boxing from the window by the door, was also stunned.

This kid, his comprehension is so strong!

It’s his first time learning combat, and even though he used teleportation, it’s still incredibly valuable!

“No, I beat this kid today, he’s definitely holding a grudge. I need to beat him a few more times in the future, it’ll be too late if I wait!”

Thinking this, Wu Zhen turned and left, preparing to drink some tea and calm his nerves.

Meanwhile, Guo Feng felt a surge of secret satisfaction.

No wonder Wu Zhen’s face was beaming when he beat him; it turns out bullying weaker opponents is really this satisfying!

“Next, Zhao Liang!”

Guo Feng was ordered to beat people; how could he not try his best?

With a teleport, he rushed in front of Zhao Liang…

After one lesson.

The entire class, except Luo Juan, was fine; everyone else was beaten black and blue.

Even Liu Qiang was only beaten a little lighter.

The worst beaten were naturally Zhao Liang and Zhang Xi.

Lu Qiaoqiao was also beaten.

Because Guo Feng now knew that Lu Qiaoqiao had thought she was pregnant, but it turned out the test strip was wrong.

So, she also became a pig’s head.

However, Qin Hao somewhat surprised Guo Feng; he seemed to have learned martial arts and had some ability to fight back.

But, he was also beaten.

Because the strength gap was too large, and he also had teleportation.

“Alright, this class is a break. Next class, we’ll practice in pairs. Qin Hao, you’re with me; everyone else find your own opponents. Class dismissed!”

Guo Feng finished speaking and waved his hand.

Only then did the crew go to the side to rest.

Some also took the opportunity to spar.

Although they got beaten, they gained a lot.

After all, getting beaten is also an experience.

When the third class began, Wu Zhen finally strolled in and saw the crew with bruised and swollen faces.

He nodded with great satisfaction.

He laughed, “Very good! To learn combat, you must first learn to take a beating. Guo Feng, you also did very well. Just like this! From now on, the first two classes every afternoon, you will follow this procedure. When I think it’s good enough, we’ll proceed to the next procedure.”

“Master the sixteen moves, understand them well, engrave them into your bones, and make them instinctive reactions!”

As soon as he said this, the crew let out a collective wail.

They would have to be beaten by this great demon king Guo Feng every day?

Life was unbearable!

Guo Feng, however, nodded busily: “Understood, Instructor.”

He then looked at the crew, “You must understand, the more I work hard now, the more safety you will have in the future. Don’t complain; defeat me, and you can beat people up!”

The crew rolled their eyes at this.

You work hard to beat us?

You’re so great!

“Well said!”

Wu Zhen, however, clapped his hands, then placed a basketball-sized sphere he was holding on the podium.

He glanced at the crew, “This is the spiritual energy level tester. Come, according to the list, come up one by one to test!”

“First, Luo Juan!”
