Chapter 9: Tiger Mouth Holding a Blade

When Li Fei was practicing in the practice room, Liu Xing also walked into a practice room.

There were already five people in the practice room. Two were practicing against each other, and the other three were leaning against the wall, looking at the sparring with smiles on their faces.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Wang, Brother Zhao."

Liu Xing piled up a smile on his face, bent over slightly, and greeted the three people leaning against the wall.

The three glanced at him casually, didn't pay attention to him, and continued to look at the sparring in the field.

Liu Xing was accustomed to this, and also turned to look at the field, only to see a man stripped to the waist, revealing tough muscles, launching a fierce attack on another man wearing a full set of protective gear.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Dull hitting sounds kept ringing in the practice room. The man wearing the full set of protective gear was 1.9 meters tall and had a huge body, clearly more than one weight class higher than his opponent, but he was beaten back continuously, with only the power to parry.

Liu Xing knew this 1.9-meter-tall strong man. The other party mainly practiced the hard kung fu "Iron Clothes Cover" in Blue Hand. Because of his outstanding physique and this set of hard kung fu, He Chao's anti-beating ability was extremely strong, and he won third place in the Grade B student monthly assessment last month.

But at this time, He Chao was beaten without any power to fight back.

The person practicing against He Chao was named Yuan Dao, a Grade A student.

When Yuan Dao forced He Chao to the wall, he suddenly accelerated, rushed to the wall, and then his right foot kicked heavily on the wall, and his body borrowed force and jumped up.

This familiar scene made Liu Xing recall the "Flying Swallow Continuous Kick" that Li Fei used on him before.

Sure enough, after Yuan Dao jumped up, he kicked his left leg at He Chao in the air, kicking the hands He Chao blocked in front of his chest into a gap.

Immediately after, his right foot kicked in from between this gap and kicked heavily on the protective gear on He Chao's chest.

Bang!!!

With a loud bang, He Chao, together with the protective gear, was over two hundred catties, and was kicked by this foot so that both feet left the ground and flew seven or eight meters away!

After falling heavily to the ground, He Chao made a painful groan and couldn't stand up again.

Yuan Dao walked towards the fallen He Chao with his back to Liu Xing. Liu Xing could just see the tattoo on Yuan Dao's back:

A hanging-eyed white-forehead tiger, with fierce eyes, holding a blade in its mouth.

Just looking at this tattoo, Liu Xing felt a bit hairy and couldn't help but shudder.

This is the tattoo of the Tiger Blade Gang. Only formal martial artists of the Tiger Blade Gang can have such a tattoo on their backs.

Yuan Dao walked to the fallen He Chao and kicked the other party casually:

"That's it?"

He Chao covered his chest and groaned painfully:

"... I admit defeat."

Yuan Dao sneered and stepped on the other party's chest:

"Holding on for ten minutes counts as your win, but you didn't even hold on for five minutes wearing a full set of protective gear. I gave you a chance, but you didn't use it."

He Chao was stepped on by Yuan Dao until he could hardly breathe. He shouted in a crying voice:

"Brother Dao, I admit defeat, I was wrong!"

Yuan Dao stood up, stepped his foot off the other party, and squatted down slowly:

"Do you know what to do if you meet my people in the monthly assessment in the future?"

He Chao nodded quickly:

"I know, I don't dare anymore, Brother Dao!"

Yuan Dao then stood up, moved his foot away from the other party, and kicked the other party hard:

"Alright, get lost!"

He Chao climbed up from the ground with difficulty, covered his chest, and walked out of the room.

Liu Xing looked at the other party's embarrassed back, feeling a bit of sympathy.

The top three in the Grade A student monthly assessment can obtain pills that can change aptitude, while the top three in the Grade B student monthly assessment can also obtain some resources, but these resources have long been monopolized by others and do not allow others to touch them.

"Liu Xing."

Yuan Dao turned around and looked at Liu Xing.

He had a small braid, looked to be in his early twenties, a bit ruffian and handsome, with a bit of evil spirit on his face.

"Brother Dao."

Liu Xing ran to the other party's side carefully:

"I just came from Mr. Hao's side."

Yuan Dao frowned slightly: "Weren't you told to accompany him in practice? Why did you come out so soon?"

Liu Xing said carefully: "Mr. Hao asked me to compete with his student twice, and then let me leave."

Yuan Dao: "Oh? Tell me in detail."

So Liu Xing told the experience of this morning in detail.

"Mr. Hao personally said that he wanted his newly accepted student to fight for the top three in the Grade A student monthly assessment?"

Yuan Dao's face sank after hearing this.

Liu Xing nodded quickly: "Yes, I heard Mr. Hao say so with my own ears."

"I know. You did well. In the future, you will tell me the first time about all the news related to this person named Li Fei."

Yuan Dao patted Liu Xing on the shoulder, took out a blue paper note with a face value of twenty yuan from his pocket, "Take it, your hard work fee."

"Thank you, Brother Dao!"

Liu Xing took the paper note with both hands, a happy smile on his face.

Twenty yuan is already a month's salary for some working-class people in Xingcheng.

"Go."

"Okay, then I'll go first."

Liu Xing left the practice room with a smile.

Recalling Li Fei's calm face after defeating him, a strange pleasure surged in his heart:

"So what if you are a rich young master? There are some things you still can't fight for!"

After Liu Xing left, among the three people leaning against the wall, a fierce middle-aged man with a scar on his face walked over and said:

"Brother Dao, what does this Hao Yi want to do?"

Yuan Dao shook his head and looked at another young man with a scholarly look: "Xiao Qi, did you find out what I asked you to check?"

The scholarly young man named Xiao Qi nodded: "Brother Dao, I checked at the archives. This student named Li Fei, whom Hao Yi just accepted, is 17 years old this year, a student of the Xingcheng vocational school's Stop-Conflict Department, and is the son of a squadron leader in the Inspectorate."

"With the background of the Inspectorate, it seems he can't be won over."

Yuan Dao shook his head.

He looked at Xiao Qi: "You continue to check this Li Fei. I want to know the specific situation of his family, what relationship he has with Hao Yi, and his score in the last test."

"Okay, Brother Dao."

Xiao Qi nodded.

"Brother Dao, he's just a freshman who just entered school. Is it necessary to pay so much attention to him?"

The middle-aged man with a scar on his face asked:

"Even if he competes fairly with us, can he win against us?"

Yuan Dao looked at him:

"Before I came here, the secretary told me that in the entire Xingcheng Martial Arts Hall, the only one who is truly capable is this Hao Yi. He told me to be careful, because the other party is jealous of evil and has a very bad impression of our Tiger Blade Gang."

"This..."

The other three people showed solemn expressions when they heard this.

That secretary of the Tiger Blade Gang has always been resourceful, and no one dares to underestimate what he says.

"Before, Hao Yi didn't accept students, nor did he deliberately make things difficult for me and others. But now he suddenly accepted a student and let the other party fight for the top three rewards in the monthly assessment, which I have to guard against."

Yuan Dao said, "Liu Xing's strength is considered upstream among Grade B students, but he was easily defeated by Li Fei, which shows that this student Hao Yi accepted is not simple. If he only wants the rewards of the top three in the monthly assessment, for the sake of Hao Yi's face, it's not that I can't let him. I'm just afraid that this person has thoughts he shouldn't have."

"Or, should I go and talk to him first?"

Xiao Qi asked tentatively.

Yuan Dao shook his head: "Not urgent, someone will talk to him first."
