244: Chapter 244 Please Stop Pretending 244: Chapter 244 Please Stop Pretending “`
Ten consecutive days!
Everyone was tasting the flavor of being hit.
Zhang Fan was no exception.
However, after the fifth day, on average, he got hit less than five times per round.
By the tenth day, Zhang Fan finally graduated.
After being beaten for ten days, he was literally fuming with rage.
In the midst of the pain all over his body, Zhang Fan finally grasped what Hearing Shadows was all about.
It was about using the sound of the opponent’s punches to judge the direction of the enemy’s attack.
“Heh heh, dad, you can’t hit me,” Zhang Fan said with a smug smile.
However, in the next moment, Zhang Dongyang’s fist landed on Zhang Fan’s chest.
“Tigers do not eat their cubs, right?” Zhang Fan lay on the ground, pointing at his dad, and it took him a long time to squeeze out those words.
“Hahaha!”
The people resting on the side couldn’t stop laughing.
Dammit, especially when looking at Zhang Fan’s smug expression, they all felt like giving him a good beating.
They had seen Zhang Fan’s progress over these ten days.
But their progress was painfully slow.
As of now, they could barely dodge one or two punches.
They couldn’t do it like Zhang Fan at all.
“Kid, you still have a long way to go,” Zhang Dongyang said.
“Avoiding the enemy’s attack is just the first step, the second step is to counterattack.
Only when you can counterattack will you have truly achieved greatness.”
Zhang Dongyang was also very shocked.
Back when he was practicing this, it took him three months to reach the stage Zhang Fan had achieved.
As for counterattacking, he believed that given another ten days, Zhang Fan would definitely be able to do it.
Zhang Fan did a kip-up and leaped from the ground, his eyes flickering with determination.
Dammit, dad threw that punch right in front of him, and he was taken down without even having time to react.
Fuck, why is dad so freakish?
Heh heh, now that I have Spiritual Value, I’ll check out dad’s Attributes first.
These past days, he had been cultivating together with Zhang Xiaoyuan every day, and now he had accumulated over twenty thousand Spiritual Value.
A thousand points of Spiritual Value, well, it’s not that he couldn’t afford it.
“Reconnaissance!”
Suddenly, Zhang Dongyang’s Attributes appeared before Zhang Fan’s eyes.
Name: Zhang Dongyang
Strength: 60
Intelligence: 12
Spirit: 40
Constitution: 15
Agility: 40
Profession: Carpenter
Identity: Huaxia Special Forces, Dragon Group Hidden Dragon member!
Seeing his dad’s Attributes, Zhang Fan was instantly shocked.
Holy shit, Strength 60?
Spirit 40?
Agility 40?
And what about himself?
Strength: 35, Intelligence: 17, Spirit: 37, Constitution: 35, Agility: 23
Just in Strength and Agility, there was almost a half difference.
Fuck, but at least now he could shatter a wooden table with a punch.
However, Zhang Fan soon spotted something different about himself.
His dad’s Intelligence was 12, Constitution was 15!
And himself?
Intelligence was 17, Constitution was 35!
Especially Constitution, more than twice that of his dad.
Could this be the reason why, no matter how exhausted he was, he would fully recover after just lying down for a bit?
Moreover, his Spirit was almost the same as his dad’s.
Moreover, his Constitution and Spirit were so high because he had taken two doses of Bone Marrow Potion—one dose at a time—and broken through his limits several times.
Could it be that Intelligence 12 and Constitution 15 are the Attributes of a normal person?
Immediately, Zhang Fan looked over at Hua Ling and the others.
Name: Hua Ling
Strength: 30
“`
Intelligence: 13
Spirit: 20
Constitution: 12
Agility: 15
Profession: SWAT
After seeing Hua Ling’s attributes, Zhang Fan was completely dumbfounded.
Damn, it seems that my initial attributes weren’t too embarrassing after all; I mean, she’s a SWAT officer and her attributes are only this much.
And when Zhang Fan saw Hua Ling’s Intelligence and Constitution, he became even more certain about one thing.
Intelligence and Constitution, those two are very hard to increase.
A normal person should have an Intelligence of 10.
As for other attributes, they can increase through acquired training.
Especially Strength, which is the easiest to grow.
Wait, why doesn’t Hua Ling have an Identity attribute?
No, that’s not right.
Dad’s Identity, Huaxia Special Forces, member of Dragon Group’s Hidden Dragon.
What the heck, Dragon Group?
Could it be that Dragon Group really exists in Huaxia?
Isn’t that something from novels?
Dragon Group, seems like the most badass presence in the special forces.
Heaven, dad’s identity is that awesome?
At this moment, Zhang Fan finally understood why Hua Ling’s attitude toward his dad was the way it was.
Turns out she knew about my dad’s identity.
Zhang Fan’s eyes widened.
Staring at his dad with a face full of disbelief.
So this is what they call keeping a low profile!
Just thinking about his dad’s 60 points in Strength, Zhang Fan’s eyes immediately burned with excitement.
Dragon Group, could it be that only those with attributes at my dad’s level could join?
“Lost in thought?” Zhang Dongyang raised his hand and slapped Zhang Fan on the back of the head.
Zhang Fan grimaced, “Dad, I’ve realized that my poor school grades must have been because of your beatings.”
Zhang Dongyang shrugged, “Blaming me for stupidity now, are you?”
Zhang Fan couldn’t help but feel both amused and aggrieved.
Dammit, my Intelligence used to be only 2, 2!
How come I feel so idiotic?
“Now, I’ll teach you about firearms,” Zhang Dongyang said and then motioned for Hua Ling to come over.
“Bring out all the guns.”
Hua Ling nodded and called two men who ran off toward the warehouse.
“Don’t move,” Zhang Dongyang swatted Zhang Fan’s hand away and said: “As a gunman, only by fully understanding your gun can you become a good shooter.”
“It’s practical for you as well.
Don’t think about hitting the bullseye hundreds of times in one day; always check whether your gun is damaged.
Fully understanding your firearm will allow you to maximize its effectiveness.”
Hua Ling and the others listened intently as well.
Zhang Fan also listened earnestly to what his dad was saying.
He spent the entire day getting to know the performance of the firearms.
However, especially when he nodded seriously, Hua Ling and the others were full of a killing aura.
Damn it, he has the skills to pull off Gunfighting Skill that badass, and yet he’s pretending to be a newbie?
Who is he trying to fool?
Especially after that last kidnapping incident, with a submachine gun in each hand, Zhang Fan turned those criminals into fools.
Everyone was shot in the limbs, without any superfluous wounds on their bodies.
You don’t have to pretend that much, bro.
Especially when Zhang Fan missed the target while shooting, Hua Ling was so frustrated she felt like taking a brick and smacking him with it.
This guy is definitely doing it on purpose.
He’s surely trying to torment us.
This is just like playing League of Legends or Honor of Kings; you clearly know your opponent is top-tier, yet they feign ignorance, playing worse than a complete noob.
What kind of feeling is that?
It’s definitely a murderous rage.
Stop pretending, for heaven’s sake.
Boss, can’t you take it seriously?
You don’t have to give us face.
What happened to scoring ten rings with ten shots back in the day?
And now you’re missing the target.
Missing the target!
Hua Ling was grinding her teeth, gripping a military knife in her hand, wishing she could just go up and stab Zhang Fan a couple of times.
Bro, please stop pretending, it’s painful for us to watch.
