Atlas of Heaven and Man

Yu Gang went outside and saw a dozen or so people in the open space. Most of them were scattered around, wearing dark blue overalls. Each of them had circles of shiny iron chains wrapped around their fists, and their expressions and aura were very fierce.

There were four people standing in the front. The one in the lead was a man in his thirties with a short stature. He wore plain glasses and an old-fashioned plain-collared robe. Behind him were two middle-aged strong men, and a little further away stood a young man in his early twenties with a defiant look and a buzz cut.

Seeing Yu Gang, the leading man smiled, cupped his fist and said, "Teacher Yu, long time no see."

Yu Gang also cupped his fist and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Qi to condescend to come here. My place is simple and there is nothing good to offer for hospitality. I hope you will forgive me."

Mr. Qi sighed and said, "Not at all. I'm not here today for tea or wine, but just to see Teacher Yu."

Yu Gang said, "I'm just an ordinary boxing coach, what's so special about seeing me?"

Mr. Qi smiled and said, "Why should Teacher Yu be so modest? Who doesn't know Teacher Yu's skills? I came here today specifically to invite Teacher Yu to join our Iron Chain Gang. Ah, Teacher Yu, don't rush to refuse..."

He waved his hand and said, "We know that Teacher Yu is in trouble, but we can help Mr. Yu solve it."

Yu Gang said in a deep voice, "My affairs cannot be solved by the Iron Chain Gang. It will only bring trouble to you."

Mr. Qi didn't think so, or rather, he was extremely confident. He said, "How would we know without trying? Teacher Yu, those powerful people are not easy to provoke, but neither are we in the Iron Chain Gang. As long as you join the Iron Chain Gang, we will be brothers, and your affairs will be our affairs. We will help you, and in a way that satisfies Teacher Yu."

Yu Gang didn't speak.

At this time, Mr. Qi cupped his hand again, so that everyone present could hear his voice, and said, "Teacher Yu, after you join the Iron Chain Gang, I can become your disciple. Teacher Yu shouldn't doubt the sincerity of our Iron Chain Gang now, right?"

Yu Gang couldn't help but remain silent. The Iron Chain Gang was not a good bunch. Now that things had been said to this point, he had to give a clear response, otherwise, he would be disrespecting these people.

Mr. Qi maintained his smile and cupped his hands, waiting for his reply.

After a moment, Yu Gang seemed to have made a decision. He looked at Mr. Qi and the others and said, "How about this? I, Yu, only know how to fight. Let my student have a match with your man. If you win, I can agree to join the Iron Chain Gang. If you lose, at least don't come looking for me this year."

Mr. Qi seemed to have expected this. He put down his hands, smiled and said, "We will give Teacher Yu face." He turned his head and called out, "Ding Shuo."

Ding Shuo found Lu Ke behind Yu Gang and glared at him a few times.

Yu Gang called Lu Ke over and instructed, "Lu Ke, you go and have a match with him, be careful." Lu Ke responded nervously, "Okay, Master."

Mr. Qi said, "Mr. Yu, we are all friends, there is no life and death here, just stop when you reach the point." He looked at his side again, "Ding Shuo, did you hear that?"

Ding Shuo said, "Mr. Qi, just watch." He took off his top, revealing his muscular body, took out a fist wrap from his pocket, wrapped his hands, and then started jumping around to warm up his body.

Lu Ke was also warming up, but he seemed to be a little out of sorts, constantly taking deep breaths.

Chen Chuan also came to the entrance of the training ground at this time, watching the movement outside. The Iron Chain Gang and the Blood Scar Gang are the two largest gangs in Yangzhi City, and conflicts often occur between the two gangs.

He was not clear about the specific grievances, but he heard that the Blood Scar Gang was backed by Molan Company. The Iron Chain Gang could confront the Blood Scar Gang, so there should be some force supporting them behind the scenes.

He just didn't know why they were looking for Yu Gang this time. Honestly, if Yu Gang was recruited by the Iron Chain Gang, it would disrupt his training plan...

Before long, Lu Ke and Ding Shuo were almost ready. The two came to the open space, cupped their fists to each other as a courtesy, then took a few steps back and each assumed a stance.

At this time, Ding Shuo grinned, and with a forward rush, he came up and gave Lu Ke a leaping knee strike, which looked extremely fierce.

Lu Ke quickly dodged to the side. After Ding Shuo landed, he turned his feet nimbly, followed Lu Ke's footsteps, and threw a set of fierce combination punches. Then, he suddenly launched a low sweep. Lu Ke didn't reveal any flaws and blocked it in time by lifting his knee, but this kick seemed to be very powerful, and he had to move sideways to relieve the force.

Chen Chuan watched very carefully. Judging from the smoothness of Ding Shuo's posture and force exertion, as well as the slight and difficult-to-distinguish exhalation, he judged that this person also mastered the breathing technique, but as long as Lu Ke performed normally, he was not without a chance.

Lu Ke kept dodging under Ding Shuo's aggressive attack. Although he had been defending, he defended steadily, observing his opponent while dodging, looking for loopholes.

Soon he found an opportunity. After Ding Shuo's two punches, when he was about to sweep over with his foot, he suddenly kicked out with a front kick, hitting the latter's abdomen directly.

This kick was very beautiful. It not only disrupted Ding Shuo's footwork, but also made a powerful counterattack.

Originally, this blow should have disrupted the opponent's rhythm and should have been the beginning of a counterattack, but unexpectedly, Ding Shuo not only was not interrupted, but instead stuck out his abdomen. Lu Ke suddenly felt a force pushing from the sole of his foot, and he involuntarily retreated backwards.

With his physical fitness, he should have been able to stand firm quickly, but he seemed to have cramped for a moment, and his feet suddenly softened. He fell to the ground, and quickly flipped over and knelt on one knee, propping one fist in front to guard against Ding Shuo's subsequent attacks.

Ding Shuo didn't rush up, but instead took two steps in place, waving his palm upwards at him, seeming to signal him to get up quickly.

At this time, Chen Chuan noticed that a flush appeared on Lu Ke's face, and his breathing became much more rapid. He couldn't help but think of something, and looked back at where Lu Ke was originally sitting. He saw a small medicine bottle next to Lu Ke's usual water bottle. The lid was not closed, and there were two pale yellow pills still inside.

Lu Ke took a deep breath and stood up. At this time, Ding Shuo darted forward, and a gust of fist wind hit him. He instinctively raised his arm to parry, but his ribs were hit by a knee strike. He immediately grunted, his breathing was disordered, he staggered a few steps, and fell to the ground again, only propping himself up with his arms to avoid lying down.

Now everyone could see that his condition was not right.

Ding Shuo said dissatisfied, "Hey, what are you doing, are you sick?"

Yu Gang sighed slightly and said, "Lu Ke, come back." He paused, "Mr. Qi, this round..."

"Wait a minute, Teacher Yu."

A voice came from inside the building.

Mr. Qi and the others looked over and saw a young man with a well-proportioned figure and outstanding temperament walking out from inside.

Chen Chuan walked to Yu Gang's side and said to him, "Teacher Yu, can I be considered your student too? Senior Brother Lu seems to be unwell, this competition is a bit unfair. Now that the outcome is undecided, can I continue in his place?"

Yu Gang looked at him and said, "You don't have to come out, this is not your business."

Chen Chuan said seriously, "Mr. Yu, now it's not just my business, it's also my business. Sir, you know, if that's the result, I might not be able to continue learning from you."

If it was just Yu Gang's business, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to come up, but Nian Fuli reminded him that because Yu Gang had a case on his back, he should just follow him to learn, and not get too close, which might be because he was worried about something. But if Yu Gang joined the Iron Chain Gang, in order to avoid suspicion, then he would definitely not be able to follow him to learn. Instead of that, he might as well take the initiative to try to change things.

At this time, Mr. Qi laughed and said, "Teacher Yu, this is also your student, right? Since it was agreed that your student would fight, then it is in accordance with the rules to let him come up."

Ding Shuo snorted, but he didn't have any objection to this in his heart. He didn't feel happy at all about winning against a sick person, and at most the previous few rounds were just for him to warm up.

Seeing that they had no objections, Yu Gang thought about it and said to Chen Chuan, "Be careful, this little brother Ding's boxing skills are very powerful."

Chen Chuan understood immediately. If his boxing skills were powerful, then his other skills would be slightly inferior, so he could let go a little bit.

At this time, Lu Ke climbed up, covered his ribs and came to Yu Gang and said, "Master, I..."

Yu Gang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much, it was Master who was negligent, go back and take your medicine quickly."

Lu Ke responded softly, glanced back at Chen Chuan who was starting to move around, took a deep breath, and slowly walked into the building.

Chen Chuan finished warming up in a while, came to the open space, and stood face to face with Ding Shuo.
