Chapter 42: The Fist of the Golden Tower
Chapter 42: The Fist of the Golden Tower
Zhou You spent the entire day testing the limits of basic Qinggong and was very satisfied with the feedback he received.
Qinggong is a product rooted in reality. It is not about hanging by wires or using special effects. Its actual operation still abides by objective laws.
Lv2 basic light skill can instantly increase the speed by 2 times, achieving the effect of 100 meters within 5 seconds.
As for being light, although it is not as exaggerated as walking on snow without leaving any footprints, it is still possible to walk in the dark and land silently.
"Almost forgot."
Zhou You slapped his forehead. The remaining experience points were not enough to upgrade the Yan Xing Fist to the strength level.
I was just focused on leveling up, and in a blink of an eye, my experience points were only a little over 400.
"It will take a few more days for it to settle down."
Zhou You’s plan is to integrate basic light skills into his boxing skills, so that he can burst out at the critical moment and kill the enemy with one strike.
Skill levels can be improved through experience points, but practical experience must be gained through hard work.
Three days later, Zhou Youfang upgraded the Yan Xing Fist to level 3.
Li Hao, the nominal boxing partner, suddenly came to him.
"Tonight at Zhaijinlou, Senior Brother Shen is inviting you to a banquet to celebrate your promotion. Senior Brother Xu and I will be there to accompany you."
It turned out that Senior Brother Shen had been out for some time and had not been in the city.
As soon as I returned to the martial arts hall yesterday, I planned to hold a banquet to celebrate for Zhou You.
"I will be there on time."
Zhou You cupped his hands and said, "Thank Senior Brother Shen for me."
Although this senior brother was trying to win people's hearts, he was generous and made people feel warm, as expected of someone who came from a wealthy family.
Zhaijinlou is a high-consumption place, and most well-off people dare not set foot there.
After Li Hao finished speaking, he did not leave. Instead, he stopped and looked at Zhou You.
"Is there anything else?"
Li Hao nodded. He only found out today that Zhou You fought alone against two powerful warriors from the Wild Fox Gang, and one was injured and the other retreated.
As an apprentice who had just mastered the power of strength, this result was simply a miracle.
Li Hao asked himself if he didn't use his trump card, he would have to give way to the two powerful warriors.
Although most of the powerful fighters in gangs are self-taught fighters who were eliminated by martial arts schools, they are still not comparable to ordinary people.
The difference in numbers is enough to make up for the slight difference in strength.
Zhou You was able to win a great victory in a situation with a score of 2 to 1, which shows that he is no ordinary person.
"Zhou You, you and I are boxing partners. We haven't fought for a long time. Why don't we practice now while we have time?"
Zhou You laughed after hearing this, as he had the same idea.
The two boxing partners stood in a corner of the training ground, stood still, bowed to each other, and then practiced against each other.
"call!"
A fishy wind blew up, and Li Hao rushed towards him, starting with the Subduing Tiger Fist.
In addition to the unique fishy smell in his fists, there was also a terrifying ominous aura.
Zhou You guessed that this ominous aura was most likely the murderous intent of the Thousand Troops Breaking Evil Fist.
The Thousand Troops Breaking Evil Fist was originally a killing fist in the army. It was introduced as a large number of retired veterans joined the city gate guards.
"Well come."
The opponent's punches were straight and steady, with undiminished force, and the closer he got, the stronger the pressure became.
But in Zhou You's opinion, it is not easy to resolve. He can easily go behind his head with basic lightness skills.
But that’s not how you practice sparring. It’s meaningless if you reveal all your cards right from the start!
Li Hao must have been holding back, so he used the Subduing Tiger Fist instead of the Thousand Troops Breaking Evil Fist inherited from his family, in an attempt to test Zhou You's strength.
Correspondingly, Zhou You also planned to use only the Subduing Tiger Fist to test his bottom line.
Crackling!
Zhou You and Li Hao fought each other with movements as swift as the wind. Their fists and arms collided and collided, causing sharp explosions.
The clash of forces was more powerful than the explosion of firecrackers, and the air waves were visible to the naked eye. They attacked the opponent's weak points and defended the corresponding parts, tearing and pushing, trying to blast through the opponent's defense.
The Subduing Tiger Fist is fierce and powerful, with momentum as its primary focus, and incorporates the biting and pouncing movements of a tiger into the boxing technique.
The two men sparred like wild beasts, their fingertips cutting through their clothes and leaving streaks of blood on their bodies.
"This guy's strength and defense are not inferior to mine."
Through fighting, Zhou You gradually figured out Li Hao's background.
After all, the other party entered the company earlier and was promoted faster than him, so it is not surprising that he could train to this level.
However, in terms of speed, if Zhou You used his true level, the outcome could be decided in three breaths.
The reason is simple: the advantage of basic lightness skills is so great that it is enough to form an overwhelming advantage.
"Well, seeing that he is calm and collected, he must have a hidden card, perhaps the killer move of the Thousand Army Breaking Fist."
Zhou You’s guess was correct.
Li Hao was also secretly frightened. He knew that if he didn't use his trump card, he would never be able to defeat the opponent.
His attitude towards Zhou You changed, and this man was qualified to be his boxing partner.
Both of them had their own plans in mind. If they didn't use their trump cards, it would be difficult to determine the winner, and it would be a waste of effort to continue fighting.
It's not a life-and-death battle, so it's okay.
"That's it."
"Okay, let's stop together."
With a loud bang, a thunder exploded on the ground, and then everything returned to calm.
Zhou You and Li Hao stood face to face about ten meters apart. The ground around them was bumpy, and there was even a pit as big as a water tank.
There were traces of the aftermath of the force everywhere, and the surface of the stone was scratched, as if it was chiseled.
"Zhou You, I admit that I underestimated you. From now on, I recognize you as my boxing partner."
Li Hao nodded at him.
The evenly matched boxing match meant that he could find out his own shortcomings during sparring and strengthen his training in a targeted manner in the future.
In the battle just now, Li Hao received unprecedented feedback and gained a lot.
Now, he truly accepted Zhou You as his boxing partner.
Zhou You didn't comment. It would be good for him to have a boxing partner to enjoy a fight with.
There is just one thing, he would rather do the massage himself in the evening, as he doesn’t like being touched by men.
"Haha, I almost forgot. We still have to go to Zhaijinlou for dinner and change clothes tonight."
Zhou You and Li Hao looked at each other and laughed, finding it very interesting.
The clothes on his body had been torn and tattered by the force of the sparring just now.
If he went out in this state, he wouldn't even be able to enter the main gate of Zhaijin Tower and would be stopped outside as a beggar.
Zhou You returned to his room, washed his hands and face, and changed into clean clothes.
Time soon passed and night fell. Lanterns were hung in every corner of the martial arts hall, and the light of the flames shone on the ground and walls.
He left the martial arts hall and headed towards Zhaijin Tower.
Zhaijinlou is located on the most prosperous street in the city, where every inch of land is valuable.
The streets are bustling with traffic, and passers-by are either rich or noble. They wear silk, gold and jade, and look leisurely.
"You are finally here. Senior Brother Shen is waiting in the private room on the second floor."
Xu Ying was standing under the pillar in front of the Zhaijin Tower, waiting. When he saw Zhou You coming, he pulled him inside.
The box is not cheap!
Zhou You estimated that this meal would cost at least several dozen taels of silver.
I secretly sighed that in this life, unless someone else treated me, I would never be willing to pay for a meal here.
