Chapter 21: Job introduction (2/2)
Without any more words, Wang Chao opened the door only to be assaulted in the face with a strong wind. Against such a surprise attack, Wang Chao didn’t move completely out of the way and had only turned to the side with a bent waist as he prepared himself into the Pounding Fist posture. A single step forward had already shook the floor of the building for a moment.
An exchange of fists! Wang Chao’s strike was almost as if he had struck iron, but Cao Yi’s face grew astonished as he hurriedly flew back with an injured look. But recovering quickly, he charged back towards Wang Chao.
Wang Chao stepped back one step at a time before seeming as if he was a monkey ready to strike at a hornet’s nest before leaping backwards.
His posture resembled that of the Monkey stance from Xingyi Quan, it was also called “Monkey Poking the Bee’s Nest”
When a monkey stabs the hornet’s nest, they are afraid of being stung. For a final last effort dash, they would leap backwards with an incredible distance.
When he had leapt, Wang Chao’s heart skipped a beat as he grabbed onto the door. With a mighty pull, the door closed and closed Cao Yi within the room.
This “Monkey Poking the Bee’s Nest” involved leaping backwards and close the door to protect himself. It was just perfect for usage around a suitable environment to evade any attack.
Crash! Upon leaping backwards and closing the door, Wang Chao leapt backwards once more as he prepared. Then, with a sound like a thunderclap after adjusting his vertebrae, he leapt forward.
His entire body flew forwards as he borrowed the power of the ground to accelerate, High Pounding Fist Jin! A fierce blow without mercy onto the door!
Bang! The entire floor rocked to the bang as the wooden door was smashed inwardly to the room.
Cao Yi was just about to open the door before the strike, but he hadn’t thought that Wang Chao would act in such a violent matter. Being forced backwards after the door had smashed into him, he steadied himself with some difficulty as blood streamed down his nose and onto his chin.
He had been forced to have a nosebleed by the door to his own room.
“Wang Chaoooooooo!!!!! Why are you destroying the house door!!!!” An angry shout came from behind as Cao Jingjing came running out to see what was happening only to see the destruction that happened, causing her to scream so loud that Wang Chao’s ears could barely handle it.
“I didn’t start it first, it was your dad’s fault!” Wang Chao’s face grew innocent as his heart began to grow gloomy. His actions had been extremely optimal in terms of fighting, but he hadn’t thought about the consequences.
“Good, very good! Attack without restraint, and restraint without attacking! Your actions were very good.” Officer Cao’s face was like a bitter melon as blood streamed down his face in an unappealing manner. “Jingjing, go back to your room and study, there’s no need for you to be here.”
Cao Jingjing glared angrily at Wang Chao before going back to her room angrily. With a loud shout, someone from the floor downstairs cursed out, “Be more quiet up there, did someone die or something!?”
Wang Chao spoke carefully, “Uncle Cao, are you fine?”
Cao Yi snorted before taking a towel to wipe his face and several tissue papers to clean his nose. Sitting down on the sofa, his two eyes stared fiercely at Wang Chao.
“You practice well, and your progress is remarkable! To be able to use your environment like this is a talent in itself! I’ve underestimated you in the past, good!” Cao Yi had a depressed look as he looked at the broken door caused by Wang Chao before a twitch developed in his face. “I haven’t lost like that since to my 80 year old mother as an infant, but to you, I’ve lost twice…fine!”
Wang Chao nodded his head with an awkward smile, “It was a fluke, that’s all!”
“Actually, I have a request for uncle. With uncle’s experience, would it be possible to give me an introduction and show me the right path to travel for the future?”
Wang Chao hurriedly changed the question, afraid that Cao Yi would ask for him to compensate him for the door.
“Don’t be engulfed by martial arts. I had originally planned on calling you over here today to introduce you to a job, but you’ve managed to say it first. This job will allow you to earn money and also experience some real combat. At the same time, you’ll get to know people. If you wish to make yourself known, then you must work for it yourself! After all, you helped rescue my daughter, so I am indebted to you.” Cao Yi cleaned his nose and spoke, “Tomorrow I’ll take you to the capital.”
