Holy Fist

Chapter 44: 044 Remember, this is the shame of the loser
 

“You…”

Chu Ming’s mouth overflowed with a trickle of fresh blood as his eyes glared furiously at Bai Xiao.

In just two short minutes, his mindset had shifted from shock to annoyance, and now to humiliation. Chu Ming refused to accept the fact that he had been defeated by Bai Xiao. His body struggled, trying to prop up his dazed head.

However, as Chu Ming’s upper body just started to lift,

a large foot stomped down from above, trampling on his chest with heavy force. With a thud, Chu Ming’s back struck the ground.

This time, he had exhausted his last bit of strength.

In a daze, Bai Xiao’s ruthless voice echoed from above.

“Remember this moment well…”

“This is your shame, the shame of the defeated!”

Next to Chu Ming’s face, numb and confused, those two sentences pierced his ears like a demonic chant, echoing in his head over and over again.

…

At the edge of the field, near the exit to the changing room corridor.

A figure hurried over, running all the way. Judging by the shiny bald head and newly changed clothes, it was Zhou Bing.

He had just been in a really bad mood, changed his clothes in the changing room, and not really wanting to deal with Kang Li, he headed straight for the exit of the training base.

However, while Zhou Bing was feeling somewhat disheartened on his way,

he received a message from Kang Li that Chu Ming and Bai Xiao had started fighting.

This, Zhou Bing could not ignore. After all, during the training at White Bird Martial Arts Hall, he was the one who had dragged Bai Xiao along to watch Chu Ming and Wang Heng spar. This led to Bai Xiao being targeted by Chu Ming. Perhaps Chu Ming was already planning to target all competitors, but ultimately, Zhou Bing was at fault. So he rushed over immediately upon seeing the message.

“Huff…”

Zhou Bing stopped in his tracks and took a deep breath.

He felt anxious and guilty, worried that Bai Xiao might be beaten badly by Chu Ming, possibly even developing some psychological trauma. Chu Ming was quite domineering, enjoying when others feared him.

It wouldn’t be out of the question for him to humiliate Bai Xiao.

“Old Kang, what’s happening? How is Bai Xiao doing?”

Zhou Bing asked while looking at Kang Li’s strong back, motionlessly blocking the entrance.

As he spoke,

Kang Li did not respond, as if he hadn’t heard at all.

Zhou Bing quickly walked over, placing his left hand on Kang Li’s right shoulder.

“Old Kang…”

His words stopped abruptly as he sharply turned his head, mirroring Kang Li’s expression, they both stared dumbfounded at the scene inside the hall.

Chu Ming, the very genius who had been so triumphant during the class sparring, now lay beneath Bai Xiao’s foot on the ground!

He was utterly disheveled, groaning, and it was unclear whether it was due to pain or anger. Chu Ming seemed to have been stunned by the beating, his ability to think or talk coherently was momentarily impaired.

“Fuck!”

Zhou Bing also let out the same expletive as Kang Li had earlier.

When people encounter something extremely shocking, swearing expletively is a sign that their astonishment is beyond words.

Only a universal “Fuck” can express their agitated emotions.

Chu Ming had been defeated by Bai Xiao!

This indeed shocked Zhou Bing to his core, as he had just experienced Chu Ming’s formidable strength and tactics firsthand. After personally feeling them, he had understood why Chu Ming was capable of defeating training coaches; his Sandboxing was incredibly sharp!

For Chu Ming, who had such Sandboxing prowess, to be knocked down by Bai Xiao…

It could only mean that Bai Xiao was stronger than Chu Ming!

The fists were even more… strong and forceful, strong and forceful indeed!

Tap tap tap…

The sound of footsteps gradually approached, and Bai Xiao walked over slowly.

He glanced at Zhou Bing and Kang Li, who were still a bit dazed.

“Let’s go.”

Kang Li was stunned for a moment before pointing at Chu Ming, who lay motionless on the ground in the distance: “What about him? You didn’t kill him, did you?”

Bai Xiao continued walking without stopping, heading straight into the corridor.

“He was the one who suddenly attacked me. I was just retaliating, though I might have been a bit rough. Don’t worry, I know my own strength. He’s just dazed from my blows. Let him lie there for a while, and he should be fine soon enough…”

Tap tap tap, he headed towards the changing room.

Behind him, Zhou Bing and Kang Li watched Bai Xiao’s strong back, exchanged a look, and hastily followed with quick steps.

From the changing room to the road leaving the training base.

Zhou Bing kept asking Bai Xiao questions, which Bai Xiao casually dismissed with some made-up excuses. If he really admitted to hiding his strength, it wouldn’t matter much. In the end, the worst they could say is that he was a bit scheming, with a weird quirk of pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.

No harm done.

At the entrance of the training base.

Zhou Bing patted Bai Xiao on the shoulder and thanked him: “Although it was Chu Ming who provoked you, by you knocking him down, you’ve indirectly avenged me too. Thanks, I’ll treat you to a meal next time…”

Bai Xiao nodded silently, without refusing.

After a few days of interaction, he found that Zhou Bing and Kang Li were actually quite warm-hearted and straightforward, the kind of people who make good friends.

At three fifty in the afternoon, the bus stopped on Beihai Road.

Bai Xiao, with his backpack on, walked briskly into Sunshine District.

At five o’clock in the afternoon, after an hour of extra Fist Skill practice, Bai Xiao rode his Hummer e-bike, starting today’s food delivery.

Since he had the professional panel, Bai Xiao approached every job with the utmost seriousness. Only with focus could one succeed. Accumulating experience bit by bit, quietly stockpiling, so that one could explode at a certain moment.

[Your profession ‘Food Delivery Person’, experience +13]

[Your professional skill ‘E-bike Driving’, experience +18]

[Your professional skill ‘Mastery of City Routes’, experience +18]

At eight forty in the evening, Bai Xiao finished showering and came out of the bathroom.

The cellphone that had been charging on the bedside table rang.

He dried his hair with a towel in one hand while unlocking the phone with the other—Brother Dong’s call. It had been about half a month since the last call.

With a beep, the call connected.

Sure enough, the first thing Wei Dong said was:

When he came to Huai Shui in two days, he wanted Bai Xiao to meet him without delay.

Bai Xiao would be treated to a lavish meal, and they would go to some fun places.

“Sure.”

Bai Xiao agreed succinctly.

Compared to the original host, he didn’t have much affection for Wei Dong.

But, Wei Dong was indeed wealthy these past few years. And as long as Bai Xiao was willing, this loyal friend would definitely provide significant help unconditionally. Bai Xiao wanted to try out new ways of playing with the professional panel, but he was somewhat poor, without power or status, and his strength was far from enough to break the social rules.

Therefore, to develop his professional panel, Bai Xiao had to find some effective methods. Wei Dong, at the current stage, seemed most likely. A second-generation rich friend, a precious resource indeed.

Bai Xiao had no choice but to gratefully accept the original host’s connections…
