Chapter 264 - Thousand Hand Snatch (1/2)
The Feng Ji Dojo had a special cafeteria. Aside from providing work meals for the staff, it also provided nutritional meals for the students.
Of course, you had to pay extra for the nutritional meal.
But with a big client like Meng Fan, Yang Feng wasn’t going to make him pay the extra fees.
Nutritional meals were healthy, of course. Beef, chicken breast, fish, shrimp, broccoli, corn, and assorted vegetables. There were also fruits. But the flavor… Meng Fan was not used to it.
Wu Tong had prepared a similar meal for Meng Fan before. It had been specifically catered for Meng Fan’s ‘figure’ at the time by a cousin of hers, who claimed to be some sort of a nutritionist.
If he had followed the nutritional diet she’d recommended, he would have lost weight fast. However, Meng Fan refused. It wasn’t because he thought it was troublesome, but because he couldn’t let go of the mouthwatering food he loved so much. He had relied on his terrifying exercise regimen to get to where he was now.
“Iron God.”
Long Tao and Ah Bin were eating alongside each other. After a few bites in, they couldn’t help but begin to gossip. “Are you really dating Shan Jin bro?”
Meng Fan shook his head. “Nope. Didn’t her office silence the rumors?”
“Then what’s your relationship?”
“What’s she like in person?”
Once the first question came out, an avalanche of questions followed. What followed was even more curiosity. After all, several people were curious about their relationship. Usually, they’d only talk amongst themselves, but this time, they met an ‘informed person.’ They couldn’t let this opportunity go.
Meng Fan’s head swelled. “Uhm, can we talk about something else. Like, how did you guys meet? Did you grow up together? How did you feel when you first learned each other’s names?”
Hearing Meng Fan’s question, the two went sour.
They finished eating, took a break, and began their afternoon lesson.
Meng Fan had paid a lot, and since he’d asked for a personal trainer, Yang Feng had found someone else to substitute his afternoon class. Ah Bin and Long Tao were getting used to being practiced on as well, so he was able to adjust the combat class and incorporate the two as well.
Toward this, Ah Bin and Long Tao had no complaints. Yang Feng’s physical combat course was not cheap; they would essentially be attending a free lesson.
Besides, Meng Fan had a certain charm about him. Even if the two would spend the afternoon being flipped over and over again, they were still willing to spend time with him.
After all, being body slammed was part of the combat experience.
Once you get used to being slammed by the Iron Hero, it would be difficult for other people to flip you.
Hm. Although this thought was a bit excessive, it was what the two genuinely believed.
Of course, in the physical combat class, it was definitely not required that the two be flipped while just standing. They were free to flip Meng Fan too, but they couldn’t lift him at all.
After ten minutes, Meng Fan was experienced in body slamming and even felt a rush of joy when he performed one successfully.
Moreover, actual physical combat was somewhat different from practice.
During practice, the practice partner stood in front of you to receive your attacks. But in real life, the opponent can dodge your attacks, which require Meng Fan to spend more time on his offense. Once he was able to snatch the person, he’d still have to adjust his posture.
The difference was not big, but Meng Fan’s snatching abilities became too strong because of his Hand Speed. Meng Fan would snatch wherever he pleased with lightning speed and, as long as they were standing in front of him — regardless how much they tried to dodge, or whether Ah Bin had a white belt, and Long Tao had a blue belt — he would reach them. Unless they turned and fled, of course.
Although it took Meng Fan longer to adjust his position and posture, the opponent he snatched could only wait until he switched his position to be flipped.
He was too powerful; there was no use struggling!
As Meng Fan gained physical combat skills, the two realized Meng Fan’s adjustment speed increased as well.
After forty minutes, he was basically able to snatch and body slam his opponent right away.
“This won’t work!”
Yang Feng muttered to himself from the side. The more he watched, the more it felt like he was practicing techniques instead of physical combat. The two practicing with Meng Fan were not enough to hold him and looked like wood poles as they neared the end of practice.
Yang Feng also discovered Meng Fan’s specialty; his hand speed.
He was previously aware of this attribute, but it had gotten even faster over some practice.
The speed of his snatches…
Yang Feng clapped his hands and gestured for Meng Fan to pause. “Take a break. Next, I’ll teach you the submission technique. Your hand speed is very fast, and this suits you more. It will immensely increase your combat abilities.”
Meng Fan heard this and felt slightly disappointed. He thought Yang Feng would step up and fight himself. To be honest, Meng Fan’s ego had inflated greatly from this round of combat. But he really felt Ah Bin and Long Tao were quite weak and not enough for him. At least when he did a body slam on them, he was scared to exert strength. If it had been Yang Feng, flipping him would be much more satisfying.
Of course, an inflated ego was one thing, but he wasn’t arrogant enough to face off against a Brazillian jiu-jitsu black belt. If Yang Feng held back and only practiced strangleholds, Meng Fan was confident he could win.
To be honest, Long Tao was not weak at all, possessing a blue belt. He had begun learning boxing before starting Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Normally, he could do a one-vs-three or four with no problem, and that wasn’t an exaggeration. Because of his foundation in boxing, he had neared attaining a purple belt more than a few times.
