A Reminder

Beside the Safety Bureau's vehicle.

Chen Feng stood on the right side of the engine hood, with the slender Xiang Jianjun and another security officer standing in front of him.

He could feel the curious gazes of many passersby and residents, while clearly hearing the smiling words of Xiang Jianjun.

"Young man, what a coincidence, we meet again."

"Do you live nearby too?"

"Mm." Chen Feng nodded lightly, not feeling uncomfortable.

"Alone?"

"Most of the time."

Chen Feng replied, as Chen Yun occasionally comes back to stay for a while.

"That's good."

Xiang Jianjun nodded and smiled, exchanging a few polite words.

Then, glancing at the people and residents standing several meters away, his smile faded.

Looking back at Chen Feng, he quickly changed the subject and asked seriously:

"I checked the surveillance records, and you passed by here around midnight last night."

"Do you remember what you saw?"

His tone was serious, and the furrowed brow on Xiang Jianjun's forehead was evident.

Chen Feng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this; he sensed something unusual.

"A pair of scarlet eyes."

After a moment of consideration, he said truthfully, "It felt wrong, so I ran away quickly."

The security officer who was taking notes nodded instinctively, as this matched the footage exactly.

"Did you see anything else?" Xiang Jianjun continued, his white shirt making him look very solemn.

"No."

Chen Feng shook his head.

Noticing Xiang Jianjun seemed slightly disappointed, he quickly feigned curiosity and asked, "Officer Xiang, what was that thing? Was it really human?"

It devours people's internal organs.

Its eyes were scarlet, and it exuded violent malice.

No matter how you looked at it, it didn't seem human.

"Of course, it's human."

"This is a technological society; everything can be verified by materialistic science," Xiang Jianjun responded with righteous certainty, leaving Chen Feng stunned.

He had expected to learn something useful.

"However, we are still investigating the killer. There is no conclusion yet."

"So, before we do, please refrain from discussing what you saw last night, to avoid causing misunderstandings and panic among the public..."

An official-sounding response. Chen Feng looked deeply at the other man.

He felt the Safety Bureau must know something.

Not asking any more questions, he believed that once he became stronger, he would know more answers.

"By the way, those two punks who robbed the supermarket, they confessed last night."

Probably sensing the thoughtful look from Chen Feng or perhaps admiring him a bit due to the supermarket incident, Xiang Jianjun quickly changed the topic, proactively sharing another piece of information.

"As you guessed, they both said they were instructed by Zhao Jin."

"At the time, the other party was still in a car on the street, providing lookout and backup, but didn't expect to run into you."

"We've started to catch the other party, but haven't found them yet. You should be careful, and if anything happens, feel free to contact us..."

Chen Feng was surprised that Xiang Jianjun would share this information voluntarily.

He nodded, keeping it in mind.

Soon, the questioning ended. Xiang Jianjun left a few people to guard the scene and quickly answered a phone call before leaving in a hurry.

Seeing this, Chen Feng didn't stay long.

He went home and practiced judo for a while, training his body for half a day.

After lunch, he went to the martial arts school with his sparring clothes and two energy bars.

...

Boom!!

At 2 PM, the dull sound of the sandbag continued to echo.

Thinking of the monster from last night and the grisly scene he heard about today, Chen Feng felt a sudden sense of urgency and pressure in his heart.

The feeling that monster gave him was at least twice as strong as Coach Lu.

In other words, if he had been unlucky enough to run into it, the only possible result would be...

Death!

Boom!

Immediately, Chen Feng reined in his thoughts, his gaze sharp, becoming more eager to grow stronger.

He continued practicing his punches, tirelessly honing his sanda skills.

The sandbag's hard surface quickly dented, and the hanging iron chains clanged with a sharp sound, swaying in all directions.

Many students around him couldn't help but stare, quietly comparing.

"Chen Feng is so fierce."

"His punching power must be over 90 kg."

"Is he really an amateur fourth dan? No way."

"Of course, didn't you see how Zheng Qiang was knocked out with two punches yesterday?"

"He's been hiding his strength all along..."

Whispers of discussion began to spread. The once inconspicuous name "Chen Feng" had now become a prominent figure in the sanda training class.

Even students from other classes under Coach Lu's supervision were paying attention to him.

"Damn, his punches are so heavy."

On the side, Zheng Qiang looked at Chen Feng's punching practice, his face full of pain as he instinctively rubbed his right cheek.

Although he had used sprays and medication to heal, he still felt some lingering pain.

Yesterday's crushing defeat was vivid in his mind, and he understood better than anyone the strength and toughness of his opponent.

That was close to Xu Dongtai's level of ferocity.

"Only four more days until the evaluation, what should we do?"

"Do you think we have a chance?"

Zheng Qiang's sparring partner, Yu Shan, also had a tall physique, standing at about 1.82 meters.

After hearing this, Zheng Qiang fell silent for a moment, before slowly shaking his head.

"We probably don't have much of a chance. Let's wait for the next round..."

His tone was reluctant, but resigned.

Yu Shan understood what he meant. His gaze shifted, and soon, he turned to look at another person in the arena.

Boom! Boom!

The louder sounds of punches followed, much stronger than Chen Feng's.

Xu Dongtai, tall and muscular, was covered in sweat but remained focused, completely absorbed in his training.

It was clear that the two had started to compete against each other.

"Ah..."

A deep sigh echoed, the shared sentiment of many people.

Yu Shan had once thought he had some talent.

But now...

He shook his head inwardly, finally understanding the words he had heard before.

In the martial world, talent triumphs hard work.

...

"Brother Dong, don't practice too hard, be careful not to get hurt," said Zhou Xin, who rushed over with a water bottle and towel as soon as he saw Xu Dongtai finally stop to rest.

Without responding, Xu Dongtai grabbed the towel and wiped his sweat, then turned his head towards the corner about seven or eight meters away.

Boom! Boom!

The sounds of punches continued, and the young man in black, soaked in sweat, was still focused on his training.

The punches sounded like they were almost 100 kg, not much weaker than his own.

"Again!"

With a cold shout, Xu Dongtai threw the towel aside and turned to unleash another powerful punch on the sandbag.

"Tsk tsk..."

Watching this, Coach Lu, who had entered the training area, shook his head with a smile, impressed.

He had never realized that Xu Dongtai could be this relentless.

But now...

He looked at Chen Feng's figure, swinging his punches.

Though still skilled in sanda, it was clear he had made another small breakthrough.

Each day showed improvement, a true moment of enlightenment.

If this continued, there might indeed be a surprise on evaluation day.

"Interesting."

With a slight smile, Coach Lu's gaze grew more expectant.
