354: Chapter 351 Reunion
On the first day, Li Changsheng enjoyed a sunbath, mostly by following Zhang Zhao, who seemed to really know how to enjoy himself.
Several of them set up lounge chairs on the second-floor outer deck, lined up in a row, wearing sunglasses and beach shorts, relaxing, half-asleep and half-awake, enjoying the sea breeze and sunshine.
"Master Wan, how is your leg adapting?"
After a while, feeling like he might fall asleep if he didn't say something, Zhang Zhao spoke up to break the silence.
"There is nothing to adapt to."
Wan Qianhe didn't say much, but Li Changsheng knew this was likely the truth.
He had specifically asked Dr. Zhang about it; this leg was a product of Genentech, with an outer layer of some kind of carbon fiber and an alloy support pillar inside. In terms of weight, it was no different from a human leg.
Moreover, Genentech had done extensive research into human mechanics; Dr. Zhang had even said that this leg alone, if sold commercially, would cost no less than ten million.
It had a certain degree of nerve conduction, meaning that some basic commands could be executed through the conduction sensing device at the connection point.
Li Changsheng had also seen Master Wan fighting at the time; it was actually a bit slower than his original leg, but that was normal. After all, his original leg had been trained and tempered for many years—how could it compare to the leg of a true master of leg techniques?
"Genentech has taken the wrong path. If they had focused on machinery and nerve conduction, they might have made a fortune long ago," Li Changsheng thought to himself.
At this moment, a figure walked over with a steady gait. Everyone looked closely, and—whoa, wasn't that Azure Dragon?
His physique was truly too conspicuous; the beach shorts provided by the cruise ship were clearly a bit too tight for him.
As soon as he lay down, the beach chair groaned under his weight, making a series of creaking sounds.
"Everyone, and Master Li, thank you! Thank you. I was able to survive and appear here this time thanks to you all."
Azure Dragon kept a very humble posture, with a smile on his face that wasn't off-putting at all. He looked like the kind of fat guy you'd want to be friends with.
"Say, Azure Dragon, aren't you a Great Yokozuna? With your fame, is there any need to come work for Genentech?"
Zhang Zhao asked, feeling very curious. Looking at Azure Dragon, he didn't feel like he was the type, like Master Wan, to fight purely for the sake of martial arts rather than money.
"Uh..."
Azure Dragon scratched his head awkwardly and spread his hands helplessly. "I had no choice. I've been retired for a few years. Actually, I earned quite a lot before, enough to last a lifetime."
"But who can refuse earning a little more? My agent introduced me to Genentech. Sigh, I must fire him when I get back. That traitorous guy."
"Well, you're unlucky enough to be sold out without even knowing it," Zhang Zhao shook his head.
Hearing this, Azure Dragon didn't get angry; he just chuckled, his gaze fixed on Li Changsheng as he clasped his hands in a salute again.
"Master Li, thank you. Whether it was on the ring or for saving my life earlier, you are my benefactor. I wonder if there is anything I can do to repay you."
"No need. Saving you was just a simple gesture, and as for holding back in the ring, that was due to your superb acting skills."
Li Changsheng's words made Azure Dragon even more awkward.
"By the way, what did you apply earlier? You had no friction at all; even my Eagle Claw couldn't get a hold of you."
Compared to repayment, Li Changsheng was more concerned about this; it had actually been bothering him for some time.
"This... this is confidential. Mr. Li, if you want some, just give me an address, and I'll mail you ten kilograms. I guarantee it'll be enough for you."
"Confidential? If it's confidential, then forget it. I don't have any use for that stuff anyway."
Li Changsheng shook his head. He always felt there was something strange about Azure Dragon's words. He didn't need that stuff, and as for dealing with it, it had been quite troublesome before, but he wasn't afraid now. After reaching the Hua Jin stage, his entire body was 'round'—if you're slippery, I'm slipperier than you, and there's no way to unload my attacks.
Soon, the sunbathing army added another general.
An hour later, Old Chen's staggering figure appeared.
Old Chen was flushed and walked over, swaying.
"Old Chen, how much did you drink? A martial artist drinking like this? Do you really not want to make it in this world?"
Watching this, as Old Chen's close friend, Old Zhang couldn't stand it.
"Old Zhang, you didn't go! It was amazing there, full of pretty girls!"
"Pretty girls? He's hopeless!"
Zhang Zhao covered his head, speechless. This little brother was really going to die on a woman's lap.
However, at this moment, Li Changsheng stood up. Under Zhang Zhao's stunned gaze, he walked straight over to Old Chen.
"Master Li? You... are you going to go with me to... to... see... see... hey! What are you doing?"
Suddenly, Li Changsheng executed a Grappling maneuver. Feeling the pain, Old Chen instantly sobered up a bit.
The next instant, he felt a heavy blow to his backside, and his body was kicked, staggering him to the iron railing of the deck. Before he could react, he felt heavy strikes on several areas of his body.
Everyone was dumbfounded. What was going on? Even if he didn't like it, there was no need to resort to violence.
Li Changsheng moved quickly, his five fingers closed into a palm blade, rapidly striking and tapping several areas in succession.
"Slap! Slap!"
"Master Li... you don't talk about martial ethics, launching a sneak attack! I... urp~ urp~"
As he spoke, Chen Youcai felt a wave of intense nausea hit him. Immediately after, he opened his mouth, lowered his head, and began to purge everything.
He tapped a few more points until the guy had almost vomited up his stomach acid before he finally eased up.
He looked at Li Changsheng in shock. "Master Li, you... how did you do that... how did you manage it?"
"Sobered up?"
"Sober! I'm sober!"
"Sobered up is good. If you continue like this, I estimate that before long, as Old Zhou predicted, you'll suffer from premature aging. Pay more attention. You are not far from Dark Energy. If you work hard and, in addition to studying your sect's Tai Xu Fist, you study Taiji and Bagua, there is hope."
Li Changsheng patted Old Chen. He still thought highly of Old Chen. This guy actually had talent, but his mind was too cluttered; he was easily misled by the flashy world, yet he lacked the capital for it.
If he had actually managed to pick up a girl, Li Changsheng wouldn't think much of it, but looking at this guy, it was clear he had just gone to drink and watch girls.
"Ahem! Master Li, I know, I know. I just went to admire, just went to admire."
Old Chen's face turned red, and he was extremely embarrassed.
For several days in a row, Li Changsheng's daily schedule was very disciplined. Besides him, the other person who was just as disciplined and regular was Master Wan.
"The two of you are in the gym again. You two, one old and one young—Master Li, your age is fine, but Master Wan, that you can maintain this at your age, I am ashamed!"
Old Zhang felt a bit ashamed, so he quickly did a few sets of squats. He also maintained a pretty good state.
Hearing this, Wan Qianhe put down the barbell in his hands and wiped the light sweat from his forehead.
"Master Zhang, you are younger than me. You must cherish it; you have the opportunity to touch a higher level. Master Li..."
After speaking to Zhang Zhao, Wan Qianhe looked toward Li Changsheng, who was doing bench presses to the side.
