Chapter 76: The Tragic Zhou Qianghan
"Are we still fighting or not? If not, I’m going back to sleep." Chen Tianlong retracted his fists, looking relaxed.
"Hmph, you brat, not bad, but don’t get cocky. The real show is yet to come."
Zhou Qianghan glared fiercely at Chen Tianlong, then bluffed, "I was just testing you earlier; it seems I underestimated you. But I guarantee, your mom won’t recognize you after I’m done."
With that said, Zhou Qianghan charged again, but this time he didn’t throw a punch. Instead, when he got close to Chen Tianlong, he suddenly kicked with lightning speed, as fierce as thunder.
Indeed, this was Zhou Qianghan’s ultimate move, the Gale Chain Kick.
Chen Tianlong was momentarily stunned, clearly surprised, but he quickly adjusted his emotions, hurriedly jumped back a step, took a deep breath, and then sunk his Qi into his Dantian. That Qi began to surge, and his fists felt an endless supply of strength.
As his master had said, martial arts in the world ultimately follow the same principle: "Only speed is unbreakable."
"Hmph! If you have the guts, stop dodging and fight head on!"
Zhou Qianghan was frustrated, thinking his move would make Chen Tianlong fall to the ground, ending the fight, but unexpectedly, he dodged.
"Ha, you think everyone stands still to get hit like you?" Chen Tianlong sneered.
"You..."
Zhou Qianghan was a bit exasperated but quickly took a deep breath and composed himself. He then gathered his strength once more and sprinted towards Chen Tianlong, kicking rapidly again.
The next moment, everyone was stunned.
An unbelievable scene unfolded before everyone’s eyes, even Wu Mengting couldn’t help but widen her eyes, almost biting her own hand.
They saw Zhou Qianghan’s Gale Chain Kick being instantly caught by Chen Tianlong’s left hand.
And evidently, Chen Tianlong wasn’t done yet. He clenched his right fist, pulled it slightly backward, preparing to strike.
Zhou Qianghan finally realized, hurriedly trying to retract his leg, but found his right leg wouldn’t budge, as if clamped by a giant steel vise, causing him to break out in cold sweat.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong’s right fist, infused with immense inner strength, was unleashed.
Boom!
Another dull thud, accompanied by the distinct sound of bone breaking.
"Aow!"
Zhou Qianghan let out a miserable cry, fell to the ground, clutching his foot in agony, unable to speak.
This scene was all too familiar to Hao Ren, having heard that Xu Tianlong’s gang had also faced Chen Tianlong’s move lately, the current painful cries bringing back fearful memories.
"How is Chen Tianlong so strong?"
"I don’t know, last time he didn’t seem that powerful, yet even Qianghan bro was beaten... sigh..."
Listening to a subordinate’s question, Hao Ren was also at a loss, and the three of them quickly approached with concern, asking, "Zhiming, you okay, any injuries?"
"Ah... hissing..." Zhou Qianghan tried to hold on and stand up, pretending nothing was wrong, but as soon as he stood, he immediately crouched down again in pain.
This was a real blow to his pride.
"Alright, our sparring ends here. Feel free to come again, you can leave now and stop disturbing my seafood." Chen Tianlong knew Zhou Qianghan couldn’t move, so he smiled lightly and said.
"You..."
"Hao Ren..."
Zhou Qianghan quickly interrupted Hao Ren and gave him a look, signaling him not to provoke this guy. As a skilled fighter, Zhou Qianghan instantly recognized Chen Tianlong’s extraordinary capabilities in both speed and strength.
If they rashly provoke him now, they might all end up lying here today.
As the saying goes, "Retreat with dignity to fight another day."
Although Zhou Qianghan had a hot temper, he held back in this situation. After all, with such a powerful opponent, resistance would only make things worse.
"Oh? What’s up? Anything else?" Chen Tianlong saw Hao Ren pointing at him, hesitating to speak, and asked knowingly.
"No... nothing." Hao Ren took a deep breath and forced out a reply.
With that, Hao Ren and his group didn’t bother with their food and left with Zhou Qianghan.
It was clear, Wu Mengting had no appetite left either. After clearing up the mess, Wu Mengting compensated the hotel for the damages, which wasn’t much for her anyway.
Once everything was sorted, the two of them headed back to school and returned to their dorms.
Time quickly reached the afternoon after classes. After dinner, Chen Tianlong accompanied Lin Wushuang to the girls’ dormitory building.
He wore an armband with the word "Inspection" printed on it. The school had recently announced the formation of an inspection team, so most people knew what it was about.
Two minutes later, Lin Wushuang opened the dormitory door. It was a four-person room. When Lin Wushuang entered, she saw her roommates dressed simply, some only wearing camisoles, and had not put on their undergarments, so she casually closed the door.
"Cough, a friendly reminder, the inspection team is coming to check the rooms, better pay attention to your appearance." Lin Wushuang said calmly.
Before long, Chen Tianlong appeared in Lin Wushuang’s dorm room, which greatly surprised her.
Because she remembered closing the door, how did Chen Tianlong get in?
"Hello everyone, sorry for the interruption. I have a rough idea why the underwear is being stolen. During the self-study session later, please set your underwear out again as bait to catch the thief." Chen Tianlong said calmly.
"No way, I’m not doing it. What if it gets stolen?" Lu Xiaoyu pouted, looking displeased. She heard that Chen Tianlong was associated with Wu Mengting from class three, and they even had dinner together. This rumor was, of course, spread by Hao Ren; otherwise, who would bother.
"If it gets stolen, I’ll buy you a new one, alright?" Chen Tianlong said casually, then muttered quietly, "Not like I don’t know your size, it’s just a 34E."
"Hmph, you said it, Wushuang, be my witness if Chen Tianlong reneges later." Discussing undergarments seemed like a routine matter to Lu Xiaoyu, with no hint of shyness, causing the other two young girls beside her to blush and hide in their beds, too embarrassed to speak.
"Um... Chen Tianlong... I’m planning to take a shower and then go to self-study, can you..." Lin Wushuang didn’t want to delve further into this topic, as it was inappropriate for a boy to discuss such intimate matters with girls.
Seeing Lin Wushuang’s expression, Chen Tianlong immediately understood, agreed, and quickly left the girls’ dormitory building.
He didn’t plan to stay there; instead, he went outside to buy a couple of things. It’s the age of high technology; why not take advantage of it.
