Chapter 64: The Beautiful Scenery From That One Punch (1/2)
Since he said it so confidently, Xu Cheng couldn’t refuse.
He rubbed his fists, licked his dry lips, and said, “Then… Here I come?”
“Quit wasting time, just come,” Wu Hao said.
Xu Cheng saw he was trying to lock in his inner qi like in martial art movies, so he decided to do a light punch and see if it was lethal.
This punch was quite understated by the looks of it because he didn’t use much strength.
After landing the punch, he looked at Wu Hao and saw that he wasn’t hurt at all.
“Is this it?” Wu Hao’s face was full of disdain. “Are you serious? I didn’t even feel anything, are you sure you hit me?”
Yan Wei on the side said with ridicule, “Ying, you are an intelligent and rational girl, but sometimes you should assess a person more carefully. Don’t just boast about his abilities.”
Wang Ying snorted, “Xu Cheng didn’t use his strength at all. He was afraid of hurting Captain Wu Hao.”
“Oh? Not using his strength? Then what’s he waiting for? We are both soldiers, no need to go easy on me,” Wu Hao said loudly. “If I frown, that means your strength is decent , but did you see me frown just now?
Xu Cheng replied, “Nope. I will try to control my strength and spread it in 10 punches and test them progressively on you, does that sound okay?”
Wu Hao: “Not to mention 10, I can even let you punch 20 times. Stop talking and hurry, or I will get internal injuries from locking my inner qi for too long.”
Xu Cheng nodded and didn’t waste any more time. He rubbed his fist. This time, he used some strength, but just like he said, he suppressed it to 10% and would gradually add more power to each punch.
“Then I will use some strength,” Xu Cheng said as he threw a punch.
Poom.
The sound of flesh hitting flesh was heard. There was an instant before the punch landed when Wu Hao thought Xu Cheng’s punch wouldn’t hurt because he didn’t pull it back very far before punching. Who would’ve thought, the moment the fist came into contact with his body, it would look like it was a light collision but he would clearly feel a slight tremor in his internal organs.
Although he was still flexing his solid abs and didn’t frown, this fist made some muscles on his face twitch a bit.
The punch was so sudden that it almost broke the qi locked down in Wu Hao’s body.
Yan Wei smiled. “How is it, Ying? Your Captain Wu Hao’s qi technique isn’t just boasting.”
Wang Ying also said admiringly, “Indeed, Captain Wu Hao is indeed the representative figure of our military region.”
Wu Hao rolled his eyes, showing his arrogance.
Xu Cheng withdrew his fist and said, “Then the second one is coming.”
“Wait what?” Wu Hao’s eyes opened up wide. “Second one? You mean that just now was the first punch of the ten?”
Xu Cheng nodded. “Yes, now I will try again with 10 percent more strength.”
Wu Hao took in a big breath and said, “Come on.”
This time, he would not underestimate Xu Cheng.
And this time, Xu Cheng pulled his fist back further, and the swing was now considered to be a regular punch and gave a feeling of strength.
Poom!
When this fist landed on Wu Hao’s abdominal muscles, his organs almost got displaced. When Xu Cheng moved his fist away, a dark red fist mark was left on Wu Hao’s abs. Scientifically speaking, the strong pressure caused blood to rush to the skin layer so hard that a fist mark appeared. However, it couldn’t have been easily done, so even Yan Wei smelled something fishy upon seeing this.
