Chapter 46: The Hidden Door

A winter afternoon.

Sunlight filtered through the clouds, spilling into a courtyard paved with clean white fine sand, yet presenting a chaotic scene.

Two distinctly contrasting figures, one thin and one robust, stood facing each other in a standoff.

Whoosh~~

A fierce gale struck violently, black chopped hair brushing across the forehead and dancing wildly in the wind.

Fang Cheng lowered his head, his eyes suddenly opening with a flash of sharp light.

Watching the berserk figure, like a behemoth, having already lunged right before him.

With lightning-fast speed, he reached out his wrists, grabbing its neck and left wrist respectively.

At the same time, he exerted force from his waist and back, twisting his body by 90°, and hooked with his right leg, pulling the opponent's center of gravity to shift to the left.

Next was to execute a throwing technique, slamming it and sending it flying.

However, Majima Goro possessed immense strength.

At the moment of losing his center of gravity, he could still abruptly stop himself and violently pull back with a backhand.

Fang Cheng had been intently sensing the subtle changes in the opponent's body muscles.

Seeing this, he immediately changed from the wrist-grabbing and pulling style to the corner-throw style.

As he fell backward to the ground, his right foot flicked upward.

Utilizing the opponent's own forward-leaning momentum, he easily threw it backward.

The behemoth-like figure traced an arc in the air, crashing heavily against the artificial rockery.

Fang Cheng immediately swung his legs downward.

Utilizing the force of pushing off the ground, he straightened his waist and lifted his hips, instantly standing back up.

After days of physical flexibility training, plus Back Bridge practice.

This classic Move "Carp Jump" in traditional martial arts was naturally mastered.

In fact, the martial arts philosophies of all combat schools were interconnected.

It was nothing more than disrupting the opponent's momentum and seizing the opponent's momentum.

Finally integrating it into one's own momentum to enhance the limit of strength one could unleash.

If a Move didn't succeed, one must timely change the Move rather than fall into the predicament of wrestling with the opponent.

This was the combat performance free-fighting and mixed martial arts should have.

Otherwise, how would it be any different from street punks throwing wild punches at each other?

Facing an opponent like Majima Goro who had only brute force and lacked technique.

From initially being somewhat unaccustomed to gradually comprehending the martial arts Profound Truth of "using the opponent's force against themselves".

He began to fully unleash his own advantages, achieving effective counter-control.

At this moment, his whole person was rapidly spinning and tumbling like a spiral.

As long as he caught a flaw, he would utilize the potential energy of the opponent's own charge, applying a slight guidance to send it flying and cause greater damage.

The various throwing techniques used were not limited to the category of Jiu-Jitsu.

Gradually, the capturing and Wrestling Techniques in Sanda were also integrated in.

Rubbing the waist and pinching the chest, hooking the leg and embracing the shoulder, counter-arm release, pulling the elbow and bending the wrist...

His body was lithe and agile, appearing to handle things with ease amidst the torrential storm-like attacks.

He even began to risk grappling, using the Punching techniques and Kicking Techniques that previously had no place to be used.

Once again trying out various combination Moves of Boxing and Sanda.

This round, his performance was obviously more handy, with a vague feeling of integrating the three skills.

Even if occasionally thrown out by the opponent's brute force, he could timely kick and roll to defuse the dangerous situation.

Furthermore.

Fang Cheng possessed 20 points of Physique, and his ability to withstand blows was likewise not bad.

The sun gradually slanted, the light becoming somewhat desolate and cold, yet seeming even more scorching.

The two on the field had unexpectedly been fiercely battling for an hour, still tirelessly chasing and wrestling each other.

However.

One was tensed to the extreme all over, panting like an ox.

The other was relaxed to the extreme all over, his breathing still able to maintain a prolonged rhythm.

If one didn't look at the tragic scene of the surrounding rockery, trees, and ground after being damaged.

It seemed truly as if they were just conducting a very ordinary sparring exchange.

[Congratulations, through unremitting efforts, your Agility has been improved]

A notification message suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Fang Cheng didn't care in the slightest.

Leaning back and stepping back to dodge the opponent's bear hug tackle, he turned around with a spinning kick.

While counterattacking, he quickly widened the distance.

The battle continued.

After a short while.

Several new notification messages subsequently appeared.

[Facing an unimaginable formidable enemy, you comprehended combat philosophies and applied what you learned, your skill has reached the Expert level]

[Jiu-Jitsu lv1 (0 / 250)]

[Congratulations on obtaining a skill enhancement reward, please make a choice between the two enhancement directions]

Fang Cheng still remained unmoved.

At this moment he was not using the Focus Skill, yet his whole person was completely immersed in the battle,

the blood inside his body boiled, seemingly transforming into endless Battle Intent, continuously surging upward.

Some people pursue fame, some people pursue wealth.

Some people just want to continuously challenge.

Challenging those daunting hardships and formidable enemies that made people look upon them with awe.

Enjoying the thrill secreted by adrenaline.

Enjoying the pleasure of stepping onto the Peak step by step!

Dust and sand splashed, figures collided.

Bang!

Clang——

A relatively thin figure ducked down to dodge the sweeping kick.

Instantly stepping forward, his shoulder slammed fiercely, crashing the muscle-swollen monster against the doors and windows of the house.

Glass shards shattered all over the floor, stained with a bit of bright red blood.

Watching Majima Goro's swaying figure showing signs of physical exhaustion, Fang Cheng's eyes narrowed.

"Time to finish you off!"

The thought flashed through his mind instantly, and his body also made a Move instantly.

Stepping on the wall for assistance, he counter-slammed closely.

Spinning in the air, his two legs locked around the target's neck like scissors.

The huge impact directly dragged Majima Goro down to the ground.

Fang Cheng once again used a self-sacrificing technique, attempting to strangle and asphyxiate it with the power of his legs.

Creak—— creak——

Under the squeeze of the leg muscles, the neck made a faint, teeth-aching sound.

Majima Goro obviously also realized the life-threatening danger, staring with bulging eyes and desperately using both hands to pry open the legs.

For a moment, there was actually a slight looseness.

Fang Cheng's original strength was indeed much inferior.

But at this very moment, his physical stamina was clearly more preserved than the opponent's.

Actually, in this bout of wrestling, he had steadily gained the upper hand.

Slowly, Majima Goro's resistance strength indeed began to weaken.

His face was distorted, exhaling more than inhaling, the bloodshot veins in his eyes gradually faded, the swollen muscles also seemed to be shrinking, and his body was slowly returning to normal.

Finally, his breathing became barely audible.

Fang Cheng's chest rose and fell as he took deep breaths, the corners of his mouth curving slightly upward.

Enjoying the pleasure brought by victory.

Suddenly, a bad thought flashed through.

"Damn it! Did I really beat the guy to death?"

At this thought, Fang Cheng immediately broke away from the nearly fanatical combat state.

He loosened his legs, stood up, and just wanted to check Majima Goro's specific condition.

A crisp and sharp voice suddenly came from inside the house.

"Stop right there!"

Subsequently, a young woman wearing a bathrobe quickly ran into the courtyard.

It was precisely the young woman in the white dress seen at the entrance earlier.

Clearly, she was Majima Goro's wife or girlfriend.

Facing her questioning gaze full of anger, Fang Cheng's gaze couldn't help but drift away.

He spread his hands, signaling that he was actually an innocent person.

The reason he beat Mr. Majima so hard was entirely out of his personal request.

He just didn't know whether she would be willing to believe it.

...

Wee-woo—— wee-woo——

The ambulance with flashing warning lights rushed the unconscious Majima Goro to a nearby hospital.

Fang Cheng stood in the street under the setting sun, his expression somewhat speechless.

The club told him to win over a big client, yet he ended up beating the other party into the hospital.

What kind of mess is this?

Fortunately, before the sparring, both sides had signed a letter of understanding agreement explaining the relevant situation.

Otherwise, he would probably still have to make a trip to the police station now.

As for... how Majima Goro turned into that monster-like appearance?

Fang Cheng didn't ask much.

Under this circumstance, not being angrily rebuked by the opponent's family members was already pretty good.

He secretly guessed various possibilities.

The only thing that could be verified was one point.

"This world is definitely not simple!"

Fang Cheng's eyes flashed with an inexplicable radiance, gazing at the panel appearing before him.

It was as if a door hidden in the fog was slowly opening toward him.
