121 Taking It Down a Peg or Two (1/2)

”Ah Fei, you wanna learn how to fight?” Chen Xi looked at Jiang Fei curiously.

”Yeah!” Jiang Fei nodded, slightly hesitant. Chen Xi was slim and slender. She did not look like the fighting instructor that Jiang Fei had in mind. However, since Han Tianyu had left him here alone, it would be rude to walk out now.

He was not taking Chen Xi one bit seriously. First of all, she looked to be about his age, and she was a female. Jiang Fei could not convince himself that she had any skills to speak of. At most, she was probably just like Sun Mengmeng, someone who knew how to pose and look good in artistic stances, but lacked real power. She could probably knock regular joes about, but Jiang Fei's current strength and conditioning had long surpassed an average person. How far could skills help when it came to standing against a low-powered superhuman?

”Alright! Come at me, I wanna see how good you are!” On the other hand, Chen Xi was taking him seriously. Firstly, Jiang Fei was Han Tianyu's friend. Secondly, her own father respected Jiang Fei greatly. For the past two days she had been nursing her father back to health. In return, he had bombarded her ears with non-stop praises of this kid.

”Are you sure? What if I hurt you by accident?” Jiang Fei was a little hesitant. He did not believe that Chen Xi was that good. One had to know that Jiang Fei was no longer an ordinary person. Having gone through ten bottles of Evolution Blood, he had to at least be on par with a champion level boxer. Moreover, he still did not know how to control his strength. It would be bad if he accidentally injured someone else!

”Hehe, just do it. If you really manage to hurt me, then you won't be needing this lesson!”

Chen Xi smiled confidently.

”Then I'm coming, let me warn you in advance, I'm stronger than I look!” Jiang Fei gave a warning before he initiated his attack. Even though Chen Xi's appeared to be slim enough for him to fold her in two, she was donned in an actual training gi, in her own private training room, in the martial arts center. She should be able to minimize any potential damage!

”Bring it on!” She casually beckoned for Jiang Fei to come forward with her hands. At the same time, the corners of her mouth curled slightly. She had made up her mind. Jiang Fei was not taking her seriously. It was time to bring him down to earth!

”Hah!” Jiang Fei shouted, throwing a punch. It resembled an actual punch, for he had limited training from his brief stint in the national service. However, it was sloppy, unpracticed, and all over the place.

”Heh…” As soon as she saw Jiang Fei's punch, the girl chuckled. As the saying goes, ”the insider knows the ropes, while the outsider just goes along for the ride.” Chen Xi could tell that Jiang Fei was a complete amateur. The punch had given it all away.

Chen Xi dodged the punch with ease. At the same time, she casually lifted her hand and positioned her palm so that Jiang Fei's fist would land on it.

”Hmm? You're pretty strong!” When they touched, Chen Xi was slightly surprised. If there was anything praiseworthy about the punch, it did pack quite some power.

”But strength isn't everything!” As Chen Xi's voice fell, she grabbed Jiang Fei's wrist and swept his legs from beneath him with her own, sending him off balance.

”Damn!” Chen Xi dodging his punch was not much of a surprise. After all, Han Tianyu had sent him to her, so she definitely had to have some skill. Flipping him over was something else entirely.

Jiang Fei was no longer the slouch that he was. It would be a stretch to call his punch lightning-quick, but it was definitely swift enough to catch any average joe in the face. Chen Xi had not only dodged his punch. She had actually grabbed hold of his wrist, and gave his charge that little oomph to send him overshooting way past her. This young girl had actual technique!

*Dok dok dok dok…* Jiang Fei ran five or six steps forward before he finally regained his footing. After all, Jiang Fei had more than just strength. He had more finesse, agility, and dexterity than most others his age. Any other person would have ended up on the ground!

”Ooh. You're pretty fit!” Chen Xi was surprised. She had expected him to fall flat on his face. That had been her intention after he had indirectly stated that she might get hurt. Girls were natural masters when it came to holding grudges! How dare he look down on her.

”What do you think?” Jiang Fei remained as clueless as before. As he had never learned how to fight before, he really thought that this was a test.
