Chapter 5: Disappointment

The sunset was beautiful, 2 weeks had passed and Zhu Lang had just 2 more weeks leftbefore the tournament and one more day had passed. Zhu Lang grabbed the door handle and looked back.

"See you tomorrow."

-"Bye, Zhu Lang."

When Zhu Lang left Li Mei comented

-"He looks sad lately, you know what happend?"

-"I'm sorry i can't tell you, i don't know if he would like that."

-"It's okay, but is there any thing i can help with?"

-"No, we should just focus on training him."

-"Okay then."

The next day Zhu Lang arrived at the gym and next to his trainer was a guy around the same age warming up. Zhu Lang was confused so he approached Yan Jing and and asked what was happening:

-"Isn't this suppoused to be my training now?"

-"Yes, however today you have a spar with one of our fighters."

After Zhu lang's warm up his partener approached him and gave Zhu lang a hand shake.

-"Hi, i'm Chen Zhao and i'll be your spar partener."

-"I'm Zhu Lang nice to meet you"

-"I know who you are, i've heard a lot about you."

-"Really? How long have you trained in this gym?"

-"I've been here for like 3 years."

-"Are you thinking of going pro?"

Chen Zhao put his hand on his hand and smiled.

-"No i just train for fun, that's all."

-"I hope we have good fight."

- "I'm looking forward to it too."

They put on the protection gear and prepare for the fight.When they were in the ring his trainer went to talk to Zhu Lang.

-"Don't think this fight is going to be easy, he is a wasted prodigy. He fights in taekwondo stance because he was born with a condition that makes him just use wenchi in his legs, the nutrients on other parts of his body are unable to turn into the wenchi power. However he can transfer the energy of the other parts of his body into his leg so his leg streght is massive."

After that advice Yan Jing gave advice to Chen Zhao. Zhu Lang didn't feel confident at all, he was nervous and sweaty but he tryed to focus on training.

The fighters went to the center of the ring and waited for Yan Jing's orders.

-"Touch gloves"

They toched gloves and made their fighting stance, preparing for the fight.

-"Fight!"

Zhu Lang tryed to moved forward and waiter for an offence but Chen Zhao was not moving. Zhu lang punched but Chen Zhao dodged, Zhu Lang tought it was just luck so he punched again but Chen Zhao just dodged his attacks, he was nervous, he couldn't land a strike. So he decided to kick however Chen Zhao blocked the kick and got an opening, Chen Zhao kicked so hard that the hole gym looked at the direction of the soud.

Zhu Lang badly blocked that kick and lost balance, Chen Zhao noticed he was still standing and tryed to punch him. Zhu Lang dodged and grabbed the rope. Chen zhao kept the distance and threw a kick as hard as he could but he was open so Zhu Lang threw a punch using Wenchi power but the kick was faster, it hit him on the body and he fell to the canvas.

His body was hurting and he couldn't get up he thought he could do better but Chen Zhao didn't even let him get close. Ge grabbed the rope and tryed to get up.

His trainer was saying something but he couldn't hear it in that moment.

- *I don't have much more streght left, i gotta find a way to hit him or else it would be pretty bad losing like this*
