Two elderly English gentlemen were furious, gritting their teeth and shouting, "You insolent brat, you have no idea of the heavens and earth! You actually want us both to fight you? You're courting death!"
As the words fell, the old man on the left clenched his fist, stomped his foot, and lunged towards Xiao Yunlong.
With a single movement, a fierce gale swept across the entire boxing ring. After all, he was a martial artist at the high level of Huajin Grandmaster; his every action exuded innate power.
The spectators closer to the ring felt their faces sting from the gust of wind, involuntarily retreating.
Xiao Yunlong stood with his hands behind his back, his expression unchanged. The slight upward curve of his lips even revealed a hint of a cold sneer.
Just as the opponent's fist was about to land, he swiftly raised his hand and met the punch head-on.
With a resounding bang, the English old man was sent flying back like a kite with a broken string, finally crashing heavily to the ground.
As he lay on the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire right arm rendered useless.
"This..." The other old man's face changed drastically upon seeing this, his pupils involuntarily widening with terror.
The spectators below the ring were all stunned. After all, the two old men had exuded such powerful auras upon their entrance, especially when the baseball cap flew out and repelled Jun Bufan, which had intimidated most of the crowd.
Yet now, an old man with such imposing presence was defeated with a single punch.
"This young man named Xiao is too strong. What is his background?"
"Who knows? I heard Jun Bufan call him Mr. Xiao earlier. He doesn't seem like an ordinary person!"
"Does that even need to be said? Can an ordinary person possess such terrifying strength?"
The crowd below began to murmur and discuss amongst themselves.
Cao Kun was also shocked. He never imagined that this fellow named Xiao would be so terrifying, defeating the expert sent by his own father with just one move.
Realizing that the situation was not right, Cao Kun quietly retreated amidst the chaos, attempting to slip away.
Xiao Yunlong immediately noticed and grinned coldly, "Young Master Cao, leaving already? Have you forgotten our agreement?"
Cao Kun froze in place as if electrocuted, his body trembling involuntarily from nervousness and fear.
"Xiao, you are indeed strong, and I misjudged you earlier. However, I am, after all, a direct descendant of the Cao family in Yancheng. I advise you, before you lay a hand on me, you'd best consider the consequences. Can you bear them?"
Seeing that he couldn't slip away unnoticed, Cao Kun slowly turned around and issued a warning.
Xiao Yunlong stared at him and said word for word, "Listen carefully. If you want to leave, you can, but each of you three must leave an arm behind!"
"You..." Cao Kun was enraged.
Just then, the old man on the side of the ring suddenly launched a surprise attack.
"Die for me!" the old man in the air roared, curling his fingers into a claw and attacking directly towards Xiao Yunlong's throat.
This was a sneak attack, and his speed was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, he had reached Xiao Yunlong's side, his sharp claws about to strike.
It must be known that this old man was a Huajin Grandmaster with immense internal energy. If this claw strike landed, let alone his throat, even steel bars would be snapped on the spot.
Liu Ruyan's face changed drastically upon seeing this, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "Yunlong..."
However, Xiao Yunlong's expression remained unchanged. He didn't even glance at the attacker, appearing as if he hadn't noticed the old man sneaking up from the left.
Just as the eagle-like claws were about to strike, Xiao Yunlong finally moved, executing a sideways spinning kick.
With a "bang!"
The old man was kicked flying more than ten meters away, crashing heavily against the wall, causing several cracks to appear in the corner.
The old man hung on the wall for about two seconds before slowly sliding down, finally collapsing on the ground like a puddle of mud.
The surrounding crowd gasped in unison, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Xiao Yunlong.
"Young Master Cao, you have ten seconds to consider. If you can't do it, I can help you. However, if I make a move, I might misjudge the force and you could lose your life!"
Xiao Yunlong slowly turned his head and, mimicking the tone of the previous old man, said to Cao Kun.
Cao Kun's face turned as pale as paper, sweat beading on his forehead. After a long pause, he gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao, you're ruthless. I have nothing to say about losing to you today!"
With that, he extended his left hand and then raised his right hand, chopping down fiercely onto his left hand.
Instantly, a cracking sound echoed, and Cao Kun's entire left arm was severed. He grimaced in pain.
"Xiao, and Jun Bufan, I remember today's grudge. My Cao family in Yancheng will not let this go. We'll see!"
After uttering the threat, Cao Kun, gritting his teeth and enduring the intense pain, turned and left.
The two henchmen looked at each other, then quickly helped up the two heavily injured old men before leaving like stray dogs.
Xiao Yunlong couldn't be bothered to pay them any more attention. In fact, if Cao Kun hadn't spoken provocatively and even leered at Liu Ruyan, he wouldn't have bothered with such a scoundrel.
"Let's go!" Xiao Yunlong descended from the ring, took Liu Ruyan's hand, waved to the still stunned Jun Bufan, and then turned to leave.
In fact, Xiao Yunlong's punch that shattered the force-testing instrument not only shocked everyone in the boxing hall but also alerted the club's manager.
Upon learning of this, the manager frowned. Instead of immediately investigating, he turned and walked briskly towards the building deeper within the club.
Soon, the manager arrived at a luxurious office on the top floor. After receiving permission from the person inside, he pushed the door open and entered.
"Boss, I have something to report to you!" the manager said directly.
"What is it? Speak!" the boss sitting in the office chair replied.
This was a burly man with a thick beard, his physique very imposing, giving off a rough, unrefined aura.
The manager then said, "Boss, earlier in the boxing hall, a fellow shattered our force-testing instrument with a single punch!"
"What did you say? Shattered the force-testing instrument with one punch?" The boss, Quan Mingxu, shot up from his chair. Even his expression changed, and he couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"No mistake, boss, it's absolutely true. I even went to the boxing hall to confirm and reviewed the surveillance footage. It was a young man in his early twenties with a buzz cut. He genuinely shattered the force-testing instrument with one punch. The force was terrifyingly immense!"
The manager's face still bore traces of shock.
Quan Mingxu frowned, remaining silent, seemingly lost in thought.
The manager continued, "Boss, our force-testing instrument was the first to be introduced, and its quality is absolutely not an issue. If someone could shatter it with one punch, it means this person's strength is extraordinary, and he's very young. Boss, aren't you going to see for yourself?"
As he said this, the manager suddenly remembered something and added, "Oh right, boss, before I came, I heard that this buzz-cut youth had a conflict with a direct descendant of the Cao family in Yancheng, and they were even planning to fight in the ring."
Upon hearing this, the boss Quan Mingxu said, "Alright, go and invite him here. Such a person is indeed worth meeting."
The manager said with a wry smile, "Boss, for someone like this, I think you should go and meet him yourself."
"Fine, if that's the case, let's go!" Boss Quan Mingxu said, stepping out of the office and heading towards the boxing hall.
As the two arrived at the boxing hall, they happened to witness the English gentleman launching a surprise attack and then Xiao Yunlong kicking him flying.
"Good heavens, he's indeed a master. Looking at this, the force-testing instrument must have indeed exceeded its limit and been shattered by his punch!" Boss Quan Mingxu exclaimed from a corner.
"Boss, in your opinion, how strong is this fellow?" the manager asked.
Quan Mingxu shook his head slightly, "I'm not sure, just that he's very strong. That kick just now was merely a casual one; it seems he didn't use his full strength. His strength is truly unfathomable. I wonder what his background is."
Thinking of this, Quan Mingxu suddenly recalled something and said in a deep voice, "Quickly have someone investigate. Within five minutes, I want to know all the information about this buzz-cut youth!"
The manager smiled, "Boss, I already had someone investigate when we were coming. The news should be back soon."
Indeed, as soon as he finished speaking, his phone suddenly received a message.
The manager opened it and said with a smile, "We have news, boss. Look!"
Boss Quan Mingxu took the phone and looked at it, his brow furrowing. He murmured, "Xiao Yunlong? A live-in son-in-law of the Liu family in Sucheng?"
At this moment, Cao Kun left in disarray, while Xiao Yunlong, Liu Ruyan, and the other two were about to depart.
Quan Mingxu and the manager saw this and immediately stepped forward.
The manager quickened his pace and said, "Sir, please wait a moment!"
Xiao Yunlong stopped and asked, "What is it?"
"It's like this, I am the manager of this club, and this is our club's boss, Mr. Quan Mingxu. We just heard that you shattered the force-testing instrument with a punch, so we came to take a look."
The manager said with a fawning smile.
Xiao Yunlong looked at the two of them and shrugged playfully, "You're not going to ask me to pay for it, are you? Honestly, your force-testing instrument is too fragile."
The manager was stunned, completely unable to comprehend why the other party would say such a thing.
Boss Quan Mingxu stepped forward and smiled, "Mr. Xiao, you jest. It's not that our force-testing instrument is fragile, but that Mr. Xiao is too formidable. This reflects Mr. Xiao's extraordinary strength. I was deeply shaken and greatly impressed upon hearing about it!"
"Allow me to introduce myself again, I am Quan Mingxu. I hope to befriend Mr. Xiao!" He extended his hand, lowering his posture slightly, with a hint of respect.
"Xiao Yunlong, pleased to meet you!" Xiao Yunlong also extended his hand.
"By the way, Mr. Xiao, this is my business card. From now on, whenever you visit my club, you will be admitted for free with this card!" Quan Mingxu said with a smile, handing over the business card with both hands.
Xiao Yunlong did not take it. Instead, he gestured to Jun Bufan with his head. Of course, this was not out of arrogance. As the King of Zhenbei, there were too many people who wanted to befriend him. Without understanding the other party's character and background, he rarely paid them any attention.
Jun Bufan understood and immediately took the card with both hands.
The manager said, "Mr. Xiao, we will be introducing more advanced and sophisticated force-testing equipment next. We will notify you immediately. May I ask if Mr. Xiao could leave his contact information?"
"We'll see then. Goodbye!" Xiao Yunlong said with a faint smile, took Liu Ruyan's hand, and left, with Jun Bufan following closely behind.
Only after Xiao Yunlong's figure disappeared from the boxing hall did the manager couldn't help but complain, "Boss, isn't this young man named Xiao a bit too arrogant? He didn't even take the boss's business card and had his subordinate take it, and he even refused to leave his contact information!"
Quan Mingxu chuckled, "It's alright. You should know that masters often have strong personalities, especially such young masters. However, that this fellow is a live-in son-in-law of the Liu family in Sucheng is somewhat beyond my expectations."
The manager smiled, "Boss, you're not really planning to befriend him, are you? This kid is too proud. And with your connections, boss, you even have ties with the City Defense Department, and you would still..."
Before he could finish, Quan Mingxu waved his hand to interrupt him, "Your perspective is still too narrow. To possess such skill at such a young age, this fellow's future achievements are limitless. Furthermore, the City Defense Department is in need of a martial arts instructor. If it's suitable, I'd like to recommend this young man for the position. With his strength, he is perfectly capable of filling it."
"So that's how it is!" The manager nodded in sudden realization.
