Dragon's Origin

It's no exaggeration to say that if this were a battlefield or a killing field, Wang Sheng's flamboyant butterfly steps would have gotten him killed long ago. Not to mention wearing boxing gloves to reduce attack power—it's practically self-imposed crippling! Even if it's just a friendly sparring match, there's no need for this, right? Rules like no using legs, no grappling, no this, no that… with all these restrictions, what's even left to use?

Watching Ling Xu Old Daoist put on the boxing gloves with a blank expression, his eyes as innocent as someone from high society who's never seen a commoner, Wang Sheng chuckled inwardly.

He gestured to Ling Xu Old Daoist, who finally seemed to understand. Then, imitating Wang Sheng, he tapped his fists together and raised them in front of him.

"Start!" Wang Sheng shouted, giving Ling Xu Old Daoist some time to react.

In reality, Ling Xu Old Daoist hadn't reacted at all, holding up the gloves without knowing what to do. But then, Wang Sheng's right hook came swinging up heavily.

Bang! Wang Sheng's glove hit Ling Xu Old Daoist's glove. In a proper boxing match, this wouldn't have been very damaging. Unfortunately, Ling Xu Old Daoist was just imitating the form without the substance, merely holding up the gloves weakly. Wang Sheng's punch directly carried Ling Xu Old Daoist's glove and slammed it heavily into the left side of his face.

Ling Xu Old Daoist almost blacked out. Just how strong was Wang Sheng's physical power? And this was after Wang Sheng had already restrained himself by about a tenth! Even so, it was still a force of nearly ten thousand catties slamming into his face.

If Ling Xu Old Daoist hadn't had his cultivation, plus the cushioning of the gloves and the head protection, this one blow could have knocked him unconscious.

Thankfully, Ling Xu Old Daoist used his spiritual energy to keep himself from being too painful and from fainting. But Wang Sheng's next punch was already hammering into the old Daoist's face without hesitation.

In boxing, Ling Xu Old Daoist was an amateur among amateurs. Failing to block Wang Sheng's right hook, he didn't even have a follow-up action. So Wang Sheng's left straight punch directly rammed into Ling Xu Old Daoist's face.

This punch made Ling Xu Old Daoist's face tilt backward, opening his defenses. The old Daoist felt a sharp pain in his nose, and a stream of heat flowed down his nostrils. No need to ask, the nose is so fragile, how could it withstand Wang Sheng's heavy punch? It was definitely bleeding now.

Before his head could tilt back, Wang Sheng's uppercut had already heavily struck Ling Xu Old Daoist's stomach. The punch straightened the old Daoist back up.

However, this punch also woke the old Daoist up. Wang Sheng was purely attacking with his fists; so that was his plan. With a quick reach, Wang Sheng's next punch was blocked by the old Daoist's glove, preventing it from hitting his body.

"Understand now?" Wang Sheng asked Ling Xu Old Daoist.

Ling Xu Old Daoist covered his nose with his glove and grunted in acknowledgment. Just as he was about to continue, Wang Sheng shouted outside, "Mei'er, Qiangwei, you two come in, only you two!"

The two women had been listening to the banging and clanging inside, not knowing what was happening. They were looking at each other outside when they heard Wang Sheng's call and rushed in.

As soon as they entered, the two women saw Ling Xu Old Daoist with blood gushing from his nose, and they were immediately startled.

"Stop the bleeding for the old Daoist!" Wang Sheng ordered the two women. He also gave the old Daoist a Nine Character Incantation that mixed the Soldier and the Traveler, then ran to the side and started punching a hanging sandbag non-stop.

The two women didn't dare to delay, quickly rushing over to grab a towel and stop the bleeding for Ling Xu Old Daoist. Actually, with the Nine Character Incantation used by Wang Sheng and Ling Xu Old Daoist himself, the bleeding had already stopped, but the blood that had already flowed out was unsightly, so they just wiped it away.

Ling Xu Old Daoist allowed the two women to wipe him, but he kept a close eye on Wang Sheng's movements. Wang Sheng's movements of hitting the sandbag were fierce and fast, up and down, all fists. The butterfly steps under his feet moved back and forth, looking unstable but much more flexible. It was clearly a systematic fighting style.

After a few glances, Ling Xu Old Daoist had almost understood. The blood outside had been wiped away, and Ling Xu Old Daoist waved his gloves, told the two women to step back, then tapped his gloves together again and walked up to Wang Sheng again.

This time, Ling Xu Old Daoist took the initiative to attack. Before Wang Sheng could start, Ling Xu Old Daoist's fist had already come crashing over. Wang Sheng reached out to block, then punched back. After that, the two of them quickly fought into a团.

Mei'er and Qiangwei hadn't expected Wang Sheng and Ling Xu Old Daoist to be really fighting. Standing on the side, staring at the two figures fighting inside, they suddenly didn't know what to say.

Wang Sheng and Ling Xu Old Daoist's movements were very fast, exchanging punches back and forth. At first, Wang Sheng paid attention to dodging and maneuvering, his punches had feints and substance, repeatedly deceiving the inexperienced Ling Xu Old Daoist, hitting the old Daoist again and again. In a short while, the old Daoist was hit by more than a dozen punches, each punch making the old Daoist wince.

But soon, Ling Xu Old Daoist saw through these simple tricks. With his rich combat experience, as soon as Wang Sheng moved, Ling Xu Old Daoist could sense where he was attacking just by sensing the movement of Wang Sheng's muscles, and he could easily dodge or block.

However, being beaten like this by Wang Sheng in front of Mei'er and Qiangwei made Ling Xu Old Daoist feel very embarrassed. While blocking, he also began to counterattack.

What followed was not about skills or anything, it completely turned into a slugfest between Wang Sheng and Ling Xu Old Daoist. You punch me, I punch you, without dodging, just taking turns.

On their bodies and faces, the two didn't know how many punches they had exchanged, how many punches they had taken. The sound of hitting the body was almost continuous, and from time to time, muffled groans would come from the battle circle. Anyway, both of them were tough, and when they were hit, they would only groan, never cry out in pain. The series of bangs and crashes made Mei'er and Qiangwei's hearts jump, and they almost screamed.

The two seemed to not feel the pain at all, going back and forth without admitting defeat. Basically, they consciously didn't use spiritual energy to attack, but they definitely used spiritual energy to defend. But they wouldn't reflect the attack, just take the opponent's attack head-on.

Wang Sheng's physical strength was already extremely strong, and his endurance was even better. Ling Xu Old Daoist's cultivation was superb, and he didn't care about the consumption of this little bit of strength. So they fought like this from morning until noon, also letting Mei'er and Qiangwei see it all the way to noon with their hearts in their throats.

Bang! A figure suddenly flew out, and Ling Xu Old Daoist's voice came from mid-air: "You cheated, using so much force."

"I feel great!" Wang Sheng had already stopped, and said calmly to the old Daoist and the two women: "Let's have lunch!"
