Chapter 266 - From Little Meng to Master Meng (1/2)

“He looks so familiar!”

“You don’t recognize him? He’s that Iron Hero guy you told me about.”

“It is him! Why is he working out here?”

“Of course he works out, he’s not born that strong.”

“Have you seen him before?”

“No. He probably just started here.”

“Maybe he’s had a private coach. Coach Yang always comes with him.”

“It’s nice to have money!”

“Feng Ji is pretty good, even people at the Iron Hero level choose to train here.”

Just because Lao Hei didn’t know Meng Fan, it didn’t mean other people at this training place didn’t recognize him. In fact, there were quite a few people who did. News of that fight with the K-pop star traveled everywhere, the stunning scene really impressed everyone in this field.

Yang Feng turned away happily as he heard the students’ gossip. Meng Fan was a celebrity student now.

The celebrity effect was quite powerful. Even a celebrity like Meng Fan, who wasn’t in show business, could attract more students in Yang Feng’s opinion. At the very least, people would think Feng Ji was a good place to train.

“Let’s come this way.”

Lao Hei didn’t hear all this talk as he led celebrity student Meng Fan to an empty part of the space. He smiled as he asked, “Did you do Brazilian jiu-jitsu with Coach Yang? How long have you done it?”

“I didn’t really study Brazilian jiu-jitsu, it was very casual. I started today.” Meng Fan answered honestly.

“You started today? Then you can practice with any student, no need to spend this much money.”

Lao Hei was a straight shooter, so he blurted out the comment. Then, seemingly regretting the coaching fee at twice the usual rate, he added, “Well, if Coach Yang recommended you to train with me, you must be pretty good. You haven’t studied long, but you must be a fast learner. Yes, that must be it.”

He was secretly pleased. This crazy Coach Yang wasn’t that bad; he actually looked out for him. The next time they practiced, he’d make it easy on him, and let him win. He had to give Yang courtesy. After all, Yang was the chief coach.

“Coach Yang said I improved very fast.” Meng Fan followed Lao Hei to the practice area and explained his goal. “For now, I’ve only done throws and snatches. I’m more interested in snatches, so I just want to practice that for now. It might be kind of boring, I hope you understand.”

“You’re so polite. Practicing skills is always boring. Hey, you can call me Lao Hei, everyone calls me that. What’s your name?” Lao Hei asked Meng Fan’s name and smiled. “I’ll call you Little Meng. Let’s get started. Don’t hold back. Do everything you did with Coach Yang, you can use double the strength. I’m very tough.”

Lao Hei stood there, a smile on his face, waiting for Meng Fan to fight him.

“Here I come.”

Meng Fan did a snatch pose. When he saw Lao Hei standing so relaxed, he also took down his strength a little. He heard from Yang Feng that even practice partners needed to tighten their muscles or they’d get easily injured. Lao Hei seemed so confident that he couldn’t really say anything, he had no choice but to try for a snatching.

“Your speed is not bad.”

When Lao Hei was caught by Meng Fan in one move, he was surprised. “I’ll do a counter-snatch now. Pay attention to my moves. If you learn the counter-snatch skills, it’d be very helpful to you.”

As he spoke, Lao Hei turned his wrist and grabbed Meng Fan’s wrist, reacting and moving very quickly. Seeing this, Meng Fan realized Yang Fan really found him a great coach with good counter-snatching skills.

Meng Fan was observant and fast. While Lao Hei was flexible, he still had trouble catching Meng Fan. In fact, Meng Fan didn’t even let Lao Hei finish his counter-snatching skill set before he flipped his hand, snatched Lao Hei, came forward, and flipped Lao Hei to the floor.

“Huh?”

Lao Hei was taken by surprise, but he didn’t panic. Plenty of people have flipped him, but how many have really dominated him? Other people would yelp with pain when snatched, but he didn’t.

Lao Hei turned his joint and got up. As he got away, he stood up and said, “Let’s go again. I told you I’m tough. You have to use your strength. Miracles come from great strength, right?”

Meng Fan nodded. The previous episode confirmed Lao Hei’s level of skills.
