At this moment, Ren Yuanhao remained motionless, his palms forming fists. Instead of retreating, he advanced. Just as the burly man lunged forward, intending to crush Ren Yuanhao with his knotted muscles, Ren Yuanhao unleashed a lightning-fast straight punch towards the brute's face, instantly erupting with the sound of torn flesh.
Ren Yuanhao had long understood that these ten-odd people were there to cause trouble. He immediately resorted to harsh measures, but this was not enough to intimidate the man at the forefront, who emitted a lion-like roar.
With this thought, the veins in his arm bulged. He grabbed the burly man by the black waistband and, with a surge of strength, lifted him bodily into the air. His limbs exerted full force, yet his face remained as calm as still water. He tossed the man in his hands away like a piece of trash!
The men in black gaped as the powerfully built man fell like a heavy bomb in front of their master!
*Thump!*
Dust scattered. The powerfully built man grimaced in pain, still groaning, as Ren Yuanhao nonchalantly walked through the startled crowd that had retreated to the sides. He slowly approached the muscular man, first glancing at Shen Lan Ni, whose beautiful eyes were fixed on him. Then, he dusted himself off and glared at their master.
"I, Gao Xiang, am here with my disciples to visit Chief Shen. Your actions, brother, are perhaps not appropriate?"
Gao Xiang was powerfully built and robust, dressed in a greyish-blue martial arts uniform. His eyebrows were thin and long, his gaze as sharp as lightning, and he exuded an aura of ruthlessness.
"Visit? Bringing so many dogs, is it a visit or an act of aggression? I believe Master Gao knows this best!" Ren Yuanhao placed the sole of his shoe on the burly man's palm and ground it ruthlessly.
"Ah! Master, teach this son of a bitch a lesson for your disciple!"
Seeing his disciple publicly insulted, a sharp glint flashed in Gao Xiang's eyes. Just as he was about to explode, Ren Yuanhao delivered a heavy kick to the side of the man's abdomen. The powerfully built man spun like a mop, scraping against the ground for two to three meters, polishing the wooden floor until it shone.
Shen Lan Ni, dressed in a fiery red long dress today, stood with her hands behind her back, a faint smile on her face. She was like an imposing sword.
In truth, if Ren Yuanhao hadn't called her early in the morning and she hadn't arrived at the Taekwondo gym so soon, she would have found it extremely difficult to encounter this situation.
Although her face showed no disturbance, her heart was churning like stormy seas. Ren Yuanhao's progress was so rapid, his power fierce yet imbued with a delicate touch like willow swaying in the wind. Every move and every stance was entirely different from last night!
He was truly a martial arts prodigy!
However, she was unaware that all of this was thanks to the 'Azure Sea Tide-Surging Heart Method'. Even Ren Yuanhao himself hadn't expected that this seemingly unremarkable heart method could so subtly refine and transform his body in such a short period!
"Does this brother think that with Chief Shen as his backing, he can do whatever he pleases?" Gao Xiang's expression grew increasingly grim, his knuckles creaking as he clenched them.
"Backing? To deal with your riff-raff, do I need any backing?" Ren Yuanhao's verbal skills were actually far superior to his legwork.
Upon hearing this, how could Gao Xiang tolerate it? He immediately raised his fist and aimed for Ren Yuanhao's vital spot!
"Hold on!" Ren Yuanhao shrugged and called out.
"What, scared now? Very well, kneel on the ground and lick my shoes clean. Perhaps I'll let you suffer less physical pain." Gao Xiang burst into laughter.
"You've angered our master, you brat are dead."
"Hurry up and kneel to lick shoes!"
The disciples also snickered and egged him on.
Ren Yuanhao snorted coldly, a chilling murderous intent igniting in his eyes. After scanning everyone, he shrugged his shoulders and said coldly, "Don't misunderstand me, you trash. My meaning is, you all come at me together later, so no one is holding me back. Lest I accidentally beat your master into a pig's head, and no one is here to collect his corpse!"
"What arrogant brat, take this punch!"
Gao Xiang gave Ren Yuanhao no time to react and lunged with a punch towards his abdomen's vital point. Shen Lan Ni cursed him as a bastard and was about to intervene when she saw Ren Yuanhao, also with fierce fists, meeting Gao Xiang's punch.
As their fists collided, a heart-wrenching *bang bang* sound was heard. Both men staggered back several steps, somewhat disheveled, before regaining their balance.
"Gao Xiang, I respect you as a senior, which is why I have repeatedly shown restraint. If you continue to act, don't blame me, Shen Lan Ni, for turning hostile!" Shen Lan Ni's red hair fluttered, her voice as sharp as a sword.
Gao Xiang's punches missed their mark, and he already felt a hint of retreat in his heart. But at this moment, Ren Yuanhao's expression suddenly changed, his body jolting as if struck by electricity. He was about to collapse!
Although Gao Xiang didn't understand why, he knew the principle of 'striking while the iron is hot'. He immediately swung a punch towards Ren Yuanhao's chest!
"Ugh..."
Ren Yuanhao staggered back four or five steps, spitting out a mouthful of black-red blood. If Shen Lan Ni hadn't reacted swiftly and caught him, he would have probably already fallen flat on the floor, utterly humiliated.
"A mere clown, ultimately useless!" Gao Xiang roared with laughter, feeling immense satisfaction.
Seeing this, Shen Lan Ni felt a sense of wonder, but with a formidable enemy at hand, she could only lay the nearly fainting Ren Yuanhao flat on the floor. Her face flushed, and her voice was as cold as frost and snow: "Gao Xiang! Do you truly think I, Shen Lan Ni, am easily bullied!"
As soon as her voice fell, Shen Lan Ni instantly transformed into a streak of red light, darting in front of Gao Xiang in the blink of an eye. Just as she was about to strike, a familiar voice echoed from behind the crowd.
"Which son of a bitch has no eyes, daring to cause trouble here!"
