Chapter 20 Throwing

Throughout July, Chen Chuan trained step by step. As his mastery of the free-hand fighting style gradually deepened, he became more and more adept at using various techniques.

Now, even without using his "second self" and wearing any protective gear, he can still defeat Lu Ke.

This is because the advantages of breathing methods are indeed huge, and they can improve physical fitness in all aspects, otherwise Yu Gang would not have called it a shortcut.

If compared with those students who have been training since childhood, they can't be his opponents. This is also normal. If there is no "second self", this is the price he paid for with his own life and overdrawn future potential.

However, under normal circumstances, such an exchange would not be equal, because once these students have mastered the breathing technique, such an advantage would no longer exist, and the gap would be widened again.

In late July, Chen Chuan received a notice from Wuyi University and went there again.

This time I did not enter the campus, but just picked up a booklet at the door, which contained some specific matters that the incoming students needed to know, as well as the process of re-examination registration.

Next, in addition to his own training, he was also preparing for school admission and would go back home a little earlier every day.

That day, he was running back home from his boxing class. When he passed by a shed, he saw a few men standing behind the open windows of a three-story building on the side of the road, smoking and looking at him with unfriendly eyes.

One of them, a short man wearing an open-chested plaid shirt and a gold watch, pointed and said, "Brother Qi, that's the guy."

"Brother Qi" was a man in his twenties with a shaved head and bracelets on his thick arms. He looked down and said, "Are you sure? Is it this guy?"

"No mistake, Brother Qi, he went to Wuhan University a few days ago and recognized him then. He is the one who embarrassed Brother Shan!"

Brother Qi said, "Have you found a place?"

The man in the flowered shirt leaned forward, pointed to the intersection ahead, and said, "It's that alley ahead. If we block both ends, the person won't be able to escape."

"He will definitely go there? Don't let me down."

"Don't worry, big brother. We have been keeping an eye on him for five or six days. This guy passes by here every morning and evening, and his time is never wrong. Big brother, how about we take action tomorrow? How should we teach him a lesson?"

Brother Qi sneered and said, "Tomorrow, isn't that a bargain for him? Isn't he going to Wuhan University in early August? Let's do it at the end of the month. Since he kicked the third brother in the face, then we should break both of his legs. Isn't that too much?"

The flowered shirt said hurriedly: "Not too much! Not too much!"

Brother Qi said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

"Don't worry, bro. I'll take care of it."

Time quickly came to the last day of July. Yu Gang seemed to have something to do and went out after lunch. Chen Chuan did not continue training in the afternoon because of tomorrow's matters, but helped Lu Ke to pack up some things.

After finishing the work, Lu Ke brought Chen Chuan to the rooftop, where there were tables, lounge chairs and a sunshade, and a few bottles of Shazhen soda in the drink basket next to it.

Lu Ke walked over and picked up two bottles of soda, opened them, handed one of the bottles to Chen Chuan, and said, "We should drink less when we practice fighting, so I'll just use the soda to make up the number. You're going to Wuhan University tomorrow, so I'll toast you a glass."

Chen Chuan clinked his soda bottle with his, took a sip, and then the two sat down. Lu Ke exhaled, looked at the white clouds in the sky, and said, "Brother Chen, I have been targeting you since you came here. You must really dislike me, right?"

Chen Chuan said: "Not really. Everyone has their own reasons for doing things, but I would say that as long as you don't regret it, other people's opinions are not that important."

Lu Ke paused for a moment, then put the soda bottle to his lips and gulped down a few gulps. He wiped it with the back of his hand, put the soda bottle on the table, and pointed to the northeast, "See that over there? Jiaoshan."

Chen Chuan looked over and saw a huge circular gray shadow. That was Jiaoshan. It was said to be a relic from a previous era, but now it has become an endless garbage dump.

Lu Ke looked at that place absentmindedly and said, "I was born in the Jiaoshan mountainous area. I can't compare with the people in your city. I don't have the qualifications to go to school in the city. People from our area can only make a living by picking up garbage in the mountains."

Chen Chuan looked at him and said, "I heard that most people living in Jiaoshan suffer from an incurable lung disease?"

Lu Ke whispered, "You're right, I am. Almost everyone around me and my family has this disease. My father disappeared when I was very young, and my mother has been paralyzed in bed for years. I often coughed when I was only three or four years old. Only my sister was lucky enough not to have it. She is ten years older than me. As far as I can remember, my sister has been taking care of the family.

Just six years ago, the villagers heard that they had found something that was very important to a big shot, and someone wanted to keep it and sell it for a high price, but the village was too poor, and how could those gangs negotiate the price with us? That night, they rushed into the village to search and rob, and clashed with the villagers. Because my sister happened to be picking up garbage, she was innocently implicated and became disabled. "

As he spoke, he wiped his eyes with his arm, "Later, I followed my master and practiced boxing with him. I wanted to bring them all out when I made money and let them live a good life."

He took another sip of soda and said, "The reason I couldn't beat Ding Shuo that day was not just because I didn't take the medicine, but because I was afraid. I was afraid that I would get hurt. Now my sister and my mother are counting on me, so I must not get hurt! That day, Master asked me to try the breathing method, but I stopped halfway because I was afraid..."

As he said that, he turned his head and looked at Chen Chuan with complicated eyes: "I really envy you. You can study in the city, you don't have to bear all these, you can go to Wuhan University. When I see you, I wonder why I can't have such a life, why can't I be the one who is admitted to Wuhan University..."

"Chen Chuan!"

His voice suddenly rose, he wiped his face vigorously, raised the bottle high, his eyes reddened, "I toast to you, I hope you can stand firm in Wuhan University, you can't be worse than me!"

Chen Chuan silently picked up the bottle, clinked it with his, and took a sip.

Lu Ke drank the whole bottle of soda in one breath, then raised his hand, as if he wanted to smash the bottle with the emotion in his chest, but when he thought that he could make some money by recycling it, he put his hand down and carefully placed it on the table.

After venting, he seemed to recover a little. After a while, he said, "You have made such rapid progress after practicing the breathing method. It seems that the breathing method is really useful. I must practice it too, but I am not as brave as you. I can only take it slowly."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "It's okay to go slower. After all, you are now a 'half-step breather'."

"Ahem." Lu Ke coughed twice, then laughed. He stood up from the ground, "Come, I'll teach you something." Chen Chuan saw him walk to the fence on the roof, and he also stood up and walked over. Lu Ke pointed, "Do you see that?"

Chen Chuan looked over and saw two sparrows standing on the electric pole, about fourteen or fifteen meters away. Lu Ke shook his wrist and one of the birds suddenly fell down, while the other one was startled and flew away.

Chen Chuan was surprised and asked: "This is..."

Lu Ke spread out his palm, which contained two small stones, the size of fingertips, which were polished to be very round.

When Chen Chuan saw this thing, his heart skipped a beat.

"Throwing method."

Lu Ke made a throwing motion and said, "You can kill or injure an opponent from a distance of more than ten or twenty meters with a simple polished stone. I heard from my master that due to certain restrictions, this course will not be taught in Wuda, but it is very useful. If you practice well, you can make even someone who is much stronger than you lose his ability to fight from a long distance."

Chen Chuan couldn't help but nod. He had a deep understanding of this. His previous body was fatally hit by a stone. However, it was difficult to judge the distance. It felt like it was hundreds of meters away, or maybe even farther.

Lu Ke threw a stone and said, "I can teach you. This thing mainly depends on the trick of exerting force. Once you learn the breathing method, it should be easy to learn."

Chen Chuan asked: "Mr. Yu taught you this, right? Can you teach it to others?"

Lu Ke said indifferently: "This is just the simplest throwing method. I haven't mastered the more advanced ones. I can't teach you even if I want to."

Chen Chuan looked at him and asked, "How many people are there in this kind of throwing ceremony?"

Lu Ke thought for a moment and said, "Master never mentioned this, but it's not difficult for ordinary people to master it as long as they work hard and practice. But to reach a high level, it's not easy. Come, I'll tell you how to throw it."

Seeing that he was very enthusiastic, Chen Chuan didn't hesitate and started to learn from him. It was always good to have an extra skill, and he did have reason to learn more.

This throwing method is indeed not that difficult, because it mainly involves the posture and the trick of exerting force, so it is very easy to get started, but if you want to be accurate and fast you need to continue to hone it.

Another key factor here is the stone. It is best to have been polished, neither light nor heavy. According to Lu Ke, there are many such stones in Zhangshan, which is a place where good stones are produced.

When Chen Chuan heard this, he was also moved. He suspected that the stone was the Zhangshan Stone. In this case, he had to find time to take a look. Maybe he could find clues about the mastermind behind the death of his predecessor.

After practicing with Lu Ke for a while, he said goodbye to Lu Ke and left because tomorrow was the first day of enrollment and the time to register for the re-examination. Before leaving, he asked Lu Ke for two stones and put them in his pocket.

He still maintained his usual habit and ran back.

And in the long alley that he passed by every day, in a temporarily rented room on the third floor, Brother Qi and the man in the flowered shirt were waiting there.

Brother Qi asked: "Have you greeted everyone?"

"Brother Qi, everything is fine."

Brother Qi looked into the distance and saw a man standing on the corner with his back against the wall. He was wearing a sweatshirt and overalls and looked unfamiliar. He asked, "Who is that?"

The man in the flowered shirt said, "Brother Qi, that's a good player from out of town with no criminal record that we paid for. We thought that since he got into Wuhan University, he must have some skills, so it's safer to have him around."

"fart."

Brother Qi said contemptuously: "He is not one of those rich kids up there. What ability did he have before he entered school? But since he is here, let's see if he is worth it."

He took out a cigarette, and the man in the flowered shirt was very tactful, and immediately took out a lighter to light it. He took a puff, blew out a smoke ring, and said, "After this, call the brothers who were watching us, and go to Chun Fu Lou for a meal together."

The flowered shirt said, "Okay, okay, I'll thank Brother Qi on behalf of the brothers." He then checked his watch, looked into the distance, and said excitedly, "Brother Qi, people are here, it's a little early today."

Chen Chuan ran into the long alley along his usual route. This section of the road was relatively flat, so he would usually speed up a little.

But this time, when he was halfway through his run, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He saw five or six people holding water pipes walking towards him from the opposite alley with ill intentions, and they all had mocking and vicious looks on their faces.

When he saw it, he stopped immediately and looked back as if he had realized something. He found that the place he came from was also blocked by many figures.

People on both sides were slowly walking towards him, hitting and scraping the wall with the water pipes at hand, making a harsh sound, as if to add pressure to him.

At the same time, on a certain building, the young man was doing handstand push-ups. He also saw this scene and asked, "Hey? Did this guy offend someone?"

Brother Qi was holding a cigarette in his mouth, looking downstairs with contempt. From his position, he could clearly see the hands of people on both sides slowly approaching.

Chen Chuan looked up and saw dilapidated walls on both sides of the long alley, covered with broken glass. It was not easy to climb over them, and entering the residents' houses would only cause trouble for others.

Since I can't leave, I won't leave.

He unbuttoned his chest, revealing the white shirt underneath. He took it off and threw it far to the side.

When the clothes were still in the air, he stepped on the ground, and the second me and him instantly merged into one. A cloud of dust rose from the ground, and the whole person rushed forward!
