19 -0019: The Demon King Cowers
The Great Devil had spoken halfway when he asked everyone, “What kind of opponent do you think I am?”
Without thinking, everyone blurted out, “A power type!”
The Great Devil shouted, “Wrong, power plus technique type!”
To face such an opponent, you only win if your power is greater and your technique more skillful.
Or, you can use weapons to compensate for your shortcomings.
However, I remind you all.
In a society governed by law, it’s best not to resort to knives and guns when fighting!
Win and you go to prison, lose and you end up in the hospital.
If you can bear it, then bear it; harmony is most precious!”
A group of people all burst out laughing.
Someone asked, “Instructor, what if the other person pulls a knife on us, what should we do?”
The Great Devil earnestly replied, “Remember this, no matter how high your martial arts, you still fear the kitchen knife.
Don’t think you’re invincible, protected by divine power, immune to blades and guns.
If you encounter such a person, dodge if you can; if you can’t, it’s better to find something to fight back with.
Never engage them barehanded!”
He clapped his hands, stood up, and pointing at Long Fei, he bellowed, “Enough prattle, let’s get moving before we wrap up!
Long Fei, step out and spar with me!”
“Yes!”
Long Fei had a gloomy face; he hadn’t provoked him, yet he was still singled out.
Chu Feng turned his head to cheer him on, “Here’s your chance, hit him hard!”
Long Fei nodded and stepped out.
His physique was similar to that of the Great Devil.
His skin was a bronze color, a bit fairer than the Great Devil’s.
The Great Devil stood with his hands behind his back, a confident look on his face as he shouted, “Begin!”
Long Fei made a move, feinting a punch as he’d envisioned in his mind, then, as the Great Devil circled his footwork, swiftly kicked towards him.
A look of surprise appeared on the Great Devil’s face as he too circled his footwork, his hands striking out fiercely.
A group of students, led by Chu Feng, started to jeer, “Go Long Fei!”
“Go Long Fei!”
“Go Long Fei!”
These past two days of devilish training seemed to have everyone wanting to see the Great Devil get hit, even Long Fei’s arch-enemy Pu Jie joined in the yelling.
Their fists and feet collided, exchanging more than a dozen moves in a flurry.
Dust from the ground flew up, and with each collision of fists, loud thumps rang out.
Chu Feng could see that, at first, the Great Devil was using common Eight Trigrams Fist techniques, nothing remarkable.
But as Long Fei kept on attacking, the Great Devil gradually started using secret techniques of the Eight Trigrams School.
In the end, his hands became a blur of shadows, as if eight people were simultaneously striking out with their hands.
A mighty force came at him, catching Long Fei off guard.
His body shook violently, and he was sent flying backwards.
“Come again!”
Long Fei scrambled up from the ground, wanting to fight on.
The Great Devil, with his hands still behind his back, voluntarily said, “That’s enough for today.
Tomorrow, I will formally teach you all combat techniques!”
He noticed that this youngster’s aptitude for learning was on the rise.
Just now, he had used several secret Eight Trigrams Fist techniques, and the youngster had copied them all on the fly.
If the fight continued, his own secrets, not meant for sharing, would be completely learned by Long Fei.
The students laughed and teased, “The instructor gives up, the instructor gives up!”
Unexpectedly not angry, the Great Devil called for dismissal, as usual asking Long Fei and Chu Feng to stay behind.
After the crowd had dispersed, Chu Feng’s roommates stood still in place.
The Great Devil went over, gave a nod to Pang San and a few others, telling them to go ahead.
He walked over, staring at Long Fei and Chu Feng, and said, “Alright, it’s just the three of us here.
Come clean, which sect’s disciples are you two?”
Long Fei and Chu Feng exchanged glances, realizing that the Great Devil had pegged them as thieves who were there to steal martial arts secrets.
Long Fei was the first to speak, “Instructor, I am not a disciple of any sect; I came here to apply for a security job!”
Chu Feng followed up, “Yeah, what sect?
Does such a thing even exist in society nowadays?”
“Cut the crap with me, you two!”
The Great Devil’s face darkened as he pointed at them and scolded, “I don’t care where you come from, but let me lay it down here.
If you’re thinking of causing trouble in Lin’s Group, I’ll be the first to not let you off!”
“Yes, sir!”
Long Fei and Chu Feng held back their laughter and let out a loud, forced shout.
After the Great Devil had left, they both burst into uncontrollable laughter.
Chu Feng called out, “Hey, Long Bro, you really helped vent our anger today.
Seeing how frustrated the Great Devil was, it was damned satisfying!”
Long Fei smiled and curiously asked him, “Brother Feng, why does an instructor like the Great Devil care so much about Lin’s Group?”
Chu Feng replied, “You don’t know?
The Zhou Family and the Lin Family are age-old friends, and the Great Devil is the Lin family’s personal bodyguard.
Judging by his behavior, I’d say he’s also got his eyes on your CEO wife!”
He patted Long Fei on the shoulder and added, “Long Bro, your rival is pretty formidable!”
Long Fei gave a wry smile, as Chu Feng made a matter that wasn’t yet close to starting sound like a done deal.
Days and nights went by, and for the next few days, everyone studied literature in the morning and practiced martial arts in the afternoon.
Under the supervision of the Great Devil, fifty candidates were whittled down to just over twenty.
More than half chose to drop out.
Persisting for one day is easy, persisting for a week is hard.
Long Fei, on the other hand, was quite pleased as he managed to learn a move or two from the Great Devil every day.
Whenever the Great Devil wanted to spar, he immediately stood up.
In the end, he even forced the Great Devil to reveal the Eight Trigrams Palm’s most secretive techniques, the Eight Trigrams Universe Steps, and Eight Trigrams Chain Palm.
Long Fei learned and applied what he saw, and by the last day, he was able to hold his own against the Great Devil.
Once the week-long training concluded, the dining hall’s chefs finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They thought to themselves that the pigs behind them could finally have a full meal.
In the other dorms, there were always some who dropped out.
But in Long Fei’s dormitory, all eight people remained.
The next day, the whistle sounded.
The Great Devil did not appear, but instead, Fang Ming came to summon everyone and sat down together in the lecture hall.
The crowd was abuzz, discussing that Lin’s Group was about to lay all their cards on the table.
Indeed, Fang Ming called a middle-aged man in.
This man was the interviewer who had recruited Long Fei.
He stood on the podium, looked around at everyone, and said with a smile, “Congratulations to you all for making it to the end.
My name is Geng Zhong, the deputy manager of the HR department.
I will be in charge of arranging and distributing your future work.
I believe you all already know about our company’s plan to recruit you all for development in Africa.
You will be joining as security personnel, accompanying our technical staff and marketing colleagues over there.”
He paused, and immediately the room burst into noise.
Having heard rumors and now hearing Geng Ming confirm it, everyone’s faces showed indescribable excitement.
Geng Ming waited for the chatter to die down and waved for silence before continuing, “I believe what you’re most concerned about is the salary issue.
Please be assured on this point, Lin’s Group will offer you a remuneration that is absolutely one of the best nationwide.
From the moment you officially sign the contract, your salary will be calculated.
Each month you’ll earn thirty thousand, with social insurance and housing fund included, and there’s a one-week holiday each year to come back home for a visit.
The contract is for a total of five years, and after five years if you wish, you may continue to renew.
Of course, at the end of the year, the company will also provide annual bonuses, outstanding employee awards, and so on.
So, I would like to ask you to consider this carefully.
If there are no issues, you can come to me to register now!”
