Chapter 535 - 533: Running Into an Acquaintance
"I said it’s not allowed, so it’s not allowed. This is my turf, who are you to decide?"
Gao Jin and Chen Tianlong began bickering, and since they were already like water and fire, Gao Jin was glad to find an excuse to start a fight.
This way, he could show off in front of the beauties, and maybe when they saw him beat up Chen Tianlong, they’d turn to him instead.
The girl was so beautiful and had a luxury car; she must be some wealthy heiress, and then he wouldn’t have to join the military police, relying on her to live a lavish life would be even better.
Back when Gao Jin entered the military school, his sole purpose was to both show off and possibly get rich after graduation.
However, lately, he discovered that the higher-ups were strict, and he couldn’t gain any extra benefits. Even though he seemed glamorous every day, in reality, his salary was pitifully small, barely covering living expenses. As for those expenditures on dining and entertainment, those were out of the question. Thus, he only wanted to latch onto some wealthy women to enrich his life.
"Haha, just because you said it’s not allowed, doesn’t mean it’s not allowed. You really think this is your house? Let me tell you, if it were someone else blocking my way, I’d listen, but you, Gao Jin, I’m definitely going to enter this door, or are you gonna hit me?"
Chen Tianlong got angry too.
"Hmph, what you mean is, you want to challenge me?" Gao Jin said playfully.
"That’s exactly my intention, but I’m just afraid that if someone loses, they won’t return the car."
Chen Tianlong didn’t dare to promise; if later this kid Gao Jin played dirty and held onto the car, it would be troublesome. So, Chen Tianlong came up with this plan first.
The two were childhood enemies and knew each other’s habits well. Gao Jin loved beauties and cared deeply about face.
Therefore, in front of a beautiful woman like Shen Yan, Gao Jin wouldn’t dare back out. Once he agreed, even if beaten into a pig’s head, he’d accept his fate.
"Hmph, who’s afraid of whom? Do you think you can beat me? What a joke."
In Gao Jin’s eyes, Chen Tianlong was just a cowherd, destined for abuse. Among their group back then, he and Chen Kong had the best talent and excelled at martial arts. After serving in the army for a few years and returning, he felt almost invincible in Sanketan Town.
Ever since Chen Tianlong saw Gao Jin, he had two purposes: one, to take the opportunity to teach Gao Jin a lesson, settling some childhood scores; two, to find out about Chen Kong’s whereabouts from Gao Jin.
Only Gao Jin knew best because he was a member of that team. A special forces unit of twenty elites was deployed, only five returned, ten were confirmed dead, but Chen Kong’s whereabouts were unknown.
"Then bring it on. Remember what you said." Chen Tianlong smiled coldly.
"Bring it on, who’s afraid?"
Gao Jin continued to be so arrogant, casually stripping off his military shirt to reveal his two large pectoral muscles and six-pack abs.
His goal was simple: with a beauty present, first show off a bit, let her see his robust body, satisfy his strong vanity.
Chen Tianlong grinned coldly without speaking much and took a step forward, stretching his waist. This time, he didn’t plan to use all his strength to fight; he intended to rely on his true skills to let this proud man in front of him feel the substantial pain he used to give back in childhood.
At this point, Gao Jin felt a bit worried too. Not having seen Chen Tianlong for years, he wasn’t sure about Chen Tianlong’s capabilities. Without knowing the opponent’s strength, he felt somewhat restrained. So, tentatively, he launched a punch at Chen Tianlong.
"Hah!"
Gao Jin’s punch was indeed fierce. No wonder he was a soldier – he trained differently.
Even though Chen Tianlong reacted quickly, he would have been hit right from the start. This evasion caught Gao Jin off guard, making him instantly feel a bit frustrated, realizing that Chen Tianlong improved rapidly, able to dodge his attack effortlessly.
"Hmph, don’t think you’re so great just because you dodged my punch. I’ll tell you the truth, I only used three layers of my strength, the real fun is yet to come,"
Gao Jin began to boast. Earlier, he indeed used three layers of strength, but even with all his might, he might not necessarily defeat Chen Tianlong.
"Oh? So powerful, huh? But I still advise you, don’t use your full strength. Whether you’re a cultivator or not, fight with me openly, or you’ll regret it." Chen Tianlong smiled coldly, warning him.
"Oh, scaring me, threatening me? Kid, you’re really something! But showing off has its price."
Gao Jin obviously thought Chen Tianlong was just showing off in front of the beauty. Therefore, he prepared to use all his strength, to give Chen Tianlong a brutal blow and take the victory.
Gao Jin could already imagine Shen Yan’s surprise and admiration when he defeated Chen Tianlong with one move.
So, the thought made him laugh, he took back his fist, took a deep breath, and a strong Powerful Qi from his Dantian gathered on his arms, his fists suddenly turning red.
"Hah!"
Another light grunt, a gust of fist wind shot out from Gao Jin’s hand, he floated like the wind toward Chen Tianlong.
Chen Tianlong remained indifferent, considering whether to make a move and finish him off in one blow. If he remembered the pain from childhood, Chen Tianlong really wanted to do that, but he couldn’t.
Now, he was no longer a child and couldn’t be reckless. Gao Jin, no matter what, was a military officer. If he accidentally killed a soldier, it would surely be illegal, with no justification.
Therefore, Chen Tianlong suppressed his strength, only wanting Gao Jin to know that in terms of power, he wasn’t his match.
"Bang!"
A dull thud as their fists collided, a massive Powerful Qi Flow emanated, making the surrounding small trees rustle.
"Phew..."
After separating, Gao Jin took a deep breath. He never expected Chen Tianlong to also be an Ancient Martial Cultivator, clearly slightly better than himself from their previous collision.
Chen Tianlong chuckled coldly, throwing another punch with full force intending to give Gao Jin a taste. Seeing that the fist was about to reach Gao Jin, Gao Jin suddenly spoke up, "Wait... wait!"
"..."
Chen Tianlong was speechless. Wasn’t this his usual trick? He never thought Gao Jin would use it today, genuinely feeling a bit annoyed.
But this was a competition, and since he asked for a timeout, he couldn’t just swing two more punches at him. Chen Tianlong said with some frustration, "Speak quickly, or else!"
"I... I’ll agree to your earlier request, no need for returns, just pure hand-to-hand combat, how about that, dare you?"
Gao Jin knew he might not be Chen Tianlong’s match in terms of strength, and this was Chen Tianlong’s proposal initially; now it could still be overturned. If it wasn’t a matter of strength, in a brawl, he was the king of sanda in the unit, capable of taking on five by himself.
"You idiot, didn’t I already say? It was you who insisted on showing off your strength, who are you trying to scare?" Chen Tianlong glared at Gao Jin and said.
