Chapter 83

An hour later.

“Ding! System Notification: The Martial Arts Mastery Skill has been upgraded to LV2. The host now possesses the strength of a hundred enemies. Unlocked Bajiquan Mastery, Taijiquan Mastery, Baguazhang Mastery…”

As the system notification sounded, Tang Feng once again felt a surge of qi flow from his dantian, beginning to cleanse his body.

The sensation was even more intense than when he first exchanged for Martial Arts Mastery LV1.

And at the same time, his strength was rapidly growing, even his muscles were quickly becoming taut.

This marvelous feeling lasted for a whole fifteen minutes before subsiding.

He walked into the bathroom again and looked into the mirror.

He found that his muscles were noticeably firmer than before, each muscle brimming with formidable power.

Moreover, his pectorals and abs were more pronounced, looking much better than before.

If he were to walk down the street shirtless now, probably many female wolves would drool over him.

He looked at himself in the mirror for a while, vainly admiring his physique, before leaving the bathroom contentedly.

Sitting back on the couch, he clicked into the system mall and glanced at the requirements for upgrading to Martial Arts Mastery LV3.

“Martial Arts Mastery LV3 (Thousand-man Enemy) exchange requirements: 1. System upgrade to LV3; 2. Spend 100 million RMB…”

He didn’t even finish reading before exiting the system,

He felt his system could be renamed the “Money-Grubber System.”

A billion, really? Did they think his money was blown in by the wind?

Now that Martial Arts Mastery was upgraded to LV2, he really wanted to find a place to test its power.

But before that, he had to make a trip to Ya Garden.

After all, he was collecting a salary from them, so he should at least make an appearance.

Ya Garden was still quiet today.

There were only a few scattered customers in the shop.

As the boss, Qin Yanan didn’t seem to be in a hurry at all, lying on a table playing Go with Zhang Jicheng.

Tang Feng watched for a while and found it rather boring.

Comparatively, he thought Chinese chess was a bit more interesting – right from the start, it’s a clash of arms, with cannons and horses leaping, the battle raging back and forth.

But Go seemed tedious, both sides slowly and deliberately setting up, then circling around each other, he didn’t see what was so fun about it.

Since there was nothing much to do in the shop anyway, he greeted Qin Yanan and his master and left the antique shop.

While he was strolling down the street, a young girl approached him and handed him a flyer.

“Sir, we are celebrating the opening of Yufeng Fitness Club with a big thank you offer – enjoy all our amenities for free within seven days, including a complimentary private coaching session…”

The girl was brimming with enthusiasm as she explained to him.

Tang Feng took the flyer and looked over it, noting, in addition to traditional fitness activities, there were boxing, taekwondo, and other activities, piquing his interest immediately.

“Where is your gym?” he casually asked.

“Just go straight ahead, it’s on the second floor of that building…” the girl immediately gave him directions.

Following her directions, Tang Feng quickly found the fitness club.

The fitness club was very upscale in its decor. As soon as he entered, a female staff member came up to introduce the facilities.

The gym was large, and upon entering the main hall, he saw rows and rows of treadmills, along with all sorts of training equipment.

Perhaps because it had just opened, there weren’t many people working out, just a few scattered burly men, and not a single woman in sight.

Listening to the female staff member, he learned there was also a swimming pool, boxing gym, and taekwondo gym next door.

“Is there a coach in the taekwondo gym now?” He wasn’t interested in the fitness equipment and wanted to go straight to challenging a coach.

“Yes, our Taekwondo instructor is a black belt and has won the national Taekwondo championship. He’s also done very well in some international competitions…” the female staffer boasted as she led him toward the Taekwondo gym.

Tang Feng had thought the Taekwondo gym would be quiet too.

But when the two of them walked in, he realized he was wrong.

Unlike the quietness outside, the Taekwondo gym was bustling with people.

There were at least three or four layers of people crowded around, easily adding up to thirty or forty people.

Cheers erupted from the crowd every now and then.

There must have been a match going on.

After ushering him in, the female staffer turned and left.

Tang Feng curiously squeezed through the crowd, wanting to see who was competing.

Suddenly, a strange expression appeared on his face.

The two people competing on the stage were a man and a woman.

He didn’t recognize the man, but he knew the woman.

It was none other than Song Lele’s good friend, Xu Xinling.

She was dressed in a white Taekwondo uniform, her delicate, jade-white feet bare, fighting against a man who was a full head taller than her.

Although she was much smaller than the man overall, her presence was no less intimidating, and she was very aggressive in her attack.

At first, the man seemed to be toying with her, occasionally being mean-spirited, saying things like “Beauty, you’re so fierce, I’m really scared” and other taunting words.

But soon, he couldn’t laugh anymore.

Xu Xinling’s strength was much greater than he had expected; on several occasions, she nearly kicked him in the head.

Finally, the man got serious, executing a horse stance with a throat-lock in an attempt to take Xu Xinling down.

But Xu Xinling stepped back, dodging his attack.

Then she turned her body with great agility, whipping out a spinning back kick.

“Bang!”

The kick landed on the man’s back.

He immediately stumbled forward several steps.

Before he could regain his footing,

Xu Xinling’s attack came at him like a torrential downpour.

All one could see were her legs kicking out alternately, with a speed that reached the limit.

The man was forced into constant retreat, looking extremely flustered.

Cheers erupted from the crowd once more.

“The beauty is so fierce.”

“Who would have thought that someone so pretty could be so ruthless? She’s like a tigress.”

“What are you talking about? Is your family’s tigress this good-looking?”

“Whoever gets her as a girlfriend is going to have a tough time.”

“If you had a girlfriend this beautiful, what’s a little hardship?”

“Right, right, right, if I were her boyfriend, I’d be willing to take a beating ten times a day.”

“Go take a look in the mirror before you talk; you, her boyfriend?”

“Hey, don’t speak too soon, okay? I may not look like much, but I can take a beating.”

“…”
