Chapter 549: Strength Before All
Lu Chen stated as he turned to the people behind him. These guys had been staring at him for quite some time now. The moment he entered, it was apparent. There was an air of hostility and caution.
"Oh yeah." Han Meng remembered, "There's actually an interesting rule in this gym."
"What is it?"
"You have to prove your strength to everyone here."
"..."
Han Meng explained, "These people here are all from the military. And they are pretty hostile towards people not from the circle. You can only join this gym by beating one of them."
You gotta be kidding me? Lu Chen questioned, "I take it that you've done it too?"
"Of course, it was pretty easy when I did it." Han Meng said it was like a breeze.
"That's because you're a beast." An elder said with a huff. He had a scar going from his face down to his mouth.
"What's up, old man." Han Meng said with a smile. But the elder rolled his eyes as he greeted him,
"Hello, kid. My name is Zi Han. I'm the one who owns this gym."
"My name is Lu Chen."
"So you're what this kid has been fussing about." Zi Han looked at Han Meng, who was getting ready to fight.
"Anyways, as he said, if you want to train at this gym, prove yourself." Zi Han said with a calm face,
"Han Meng kept saying that you're a prodigy. Time to prove it in front of everyone." Zi Han pointed his hand at a larger banner,
Strength before all!
"That's the only rule we follow in this gym."
"Alright." Lu Chen cracked his knuckles. He found this gym interesting. And it was time for him to make his move.
"Who do you want to fight?" Zi Han asked.
"You guys pick one out for me. It's your rules." Lu Chen said calmly. He didn't care who he was going to fight.
"Heh, you're confident, kid. Like a certain someone I know." Zi Han turned to Han Meng, who was whistling.
"Owner! I'll fight him!" A person raised his hand.
"Sure. Go for it, Quon Tu."
"We'll let you use the ring then." Han Meng said as he jumped out of the ring and hurried the other out too.
Lu Chen and Quon Tu walked into the ring. The difference in their body was apparent. He was much bulkier than Lu Chen. And he was two heads taller than Lu Chen.
In terms of physics, Quon Tu had the advantage.
"You sure he's going to be fine?" Zi Han said. He was the same as the majority thought. Lu Chen was going to lose this one.
But Han Meng had a grin, "There is no way Quon Tu is going to win this."
"What do you-"
Bam!
Before the others could say anything, what they saw was a downed Quon Tu.
It was an instant kill.
Quon Tu's down? That caused everyone to be wide-eyed.
"What did the kid do?" No one could tell what he did. However, Han Meng explained,
"A kick."
"Hmm?"
"Lu Chen slammed his kick right into Quon Tu's temple."
He kicked?! How come we didn't see it?! They couldn't see what Lu Chen did. To them, Lu Chen and Quon Tu were standing together in the ring.
That was why it was so shocking.
"His kicks have always been dangerous." Han Meng said as he rubbed his forearm. Seeing Quon Tu down like that was making him have phantom pain.
"That was amazing!"
"How did you do it?!"
"How about you have a spar with me next?!"
Because of what he did, the people around him were screaming in shock and surprise.
"Zip it, you guys! He's going to have a fight with me!"
