C184 Mantis and Cicada

Bang! The two fists collided.

One was a power that was considered to be burned, while the other was real Taoist martial arts. The two were evenly matched.

On Fang Dong's arm, an undetectable bolt of lightning surged upstream and instantly charged at his body. After the two of them had stared at each other for a few seconds, Fang Dong's face suddenly twisted in pain as his mouth gaped open.

His arms hung limply, as if they had no bones.

The injury to his arm caused Fang Dong to quickly droop like a ball that had been pierced through. The muscles on his body, which had originally exploded, shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a moment, Fang Dong became like a dying old man, his entire body devoid of any vitality. His eyes became dull and lifeless. He looked at his left hand and tried to raise it, but he could not.

After looking at it for a moment, Fang Dong couldn't stand the sight of it any longer, so he let out a hoarse howl and dashed out of the room, screaming.

Zheng Lei didn't do anything to stop him. With Fang Dong like this, there wasn't much time left. Even if Zheng Lei didn't do anything to him, he wouldn't be able to live for long.

Zheng Lei didn't leave the room after doing all of this. He stood quietly in the room and faintly heard a commotion from below. Afterwards, the commotion gradually stopped and the entire building descended into silence.

Zheng Lei walked up to a wall and looked at it for a while before saying, "Come out, don't hide anymore."

There wasn't any reaction from the wall. Zheng Lei calmly looked at the wall. There wasn't a single trace of anxiety on his face.

After a full ten minutes, the wall in front of him suddenly trembled, and then it slowly opened. A man in his thirties walked out, and he had a face like Fang Dong when he was crazily shouting as he left!

"Hello, Fang Dong." Zheng Lei said softly.

"How did you know I was here?" His words were the same as admitting Zheng Lei's words.

"The real Fang Dong wouldn't have acted so impulsively. Although I don't know you, I could tell from the fight just now that that that person wasn't you." Zheng Lei said quietly.

"So you've been gambling?" Fang Dong walked out, and as he walked, he took out a cigarette and passed it to Zheng Lei. Fang Dong did not pay any attention to Zheng Lei gently shaking his head. He placed the cigarette in his mouth and lit it.

"You could say that. After all, I've never been here before." Zheng Lei walked to the sofa, patted off the dust on it, then sat down and said to Fang Dong.

"I belong to Jiang Cheng." There was no excitement in his eyes, no helplessness. It was as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"I know, that's why I came."

"You want to win me over?"

"No, I'm not trying to rope you in. I'm trying to get you to do something for me. Listen to me!"

Fang Dong was not angry at all. Instead, he calmly said, "Give me a reason!"

Zheng Lei thought for a moment, then slapped his bag of holding and took out a red book, handing it to Fang Dong.

Fang Dong took the book and looked at Zheng Lei, then he gently opened it. After looking at it for a while, he returned it to Zheng Lei and said, "It does have quite a bit of a backer, but what benefits does it have to me?"

"What do you want?" Zheng Lei asked.

"Jiang Cheng gives me 300,000 yuan a year, and all the investment in this club is his." Fang Dong said.

Zheng Lei thought for a moment and smiled. "I'll give you 600,000 yuan. The investment from this club is also mine. There will be other benefits in the future."

Fang Dong thought for a moment and said, "Okay, deal. But you have to guarantee my safety."

"Hahaha, good, dealing with straightforward people sure is fun!" Zheng Lei stood up and said to Fang Dong, "Don't go out for the next few days. At least within a week, you'll be dead."

Fang Dong rolled his eyes and smiled knowingly. He nodded and said, "Alright, I understand. You beat Fang Dong into a mad man and made him run."

Zheng Lei nodded in satisfaction, then left. When he passed a few floors below, he saw that there was no one left inside. It was obvious that the appearance of "Fang Dong" had caused this group of people to scatter like birds.

Arriving at the first floor, Zheng Lei saw the waiter, who was curled up and trembling in a corner, inside the bar.

When the waiter saw Zheng Lei, he became even more frightened. The waiters here were mostly part-time students. When had they ever seen such a situation? The scene just now had scared them out of their wits.

Zheng Lei stood in front of the bar and looked at the waiters curling up on the floor. The two girls were so scared that they tightly hugged each other and sat on the floor, trembling all over.

Half an hour after Zheng Lei left, the two waiters at the bar counter looked at each other in shock. One of them said thoughtfully, "That person from earlier seemed so familiar."

"You also feel that way?"

"Well, have you seen him?"

"I think … I think … that's right, Zheng Lei!"

"What?" After confirming that there was no one outside, she humbly patted her chest that wasn't very arrogant and said: "It seems to be true. When you said it, I thought for a moment, other than him, there doesn't seem to be anyone else who can do this, it's just that profound. Even though it's a black belt of Taekwondo, it can't do this. Heavens, that's manager Fang.

"Shh …" Keep your voice down, and be careful not to be overheard. "

The girl stuck out her tongue, and the two of them squatted at the bar counter as they chatted in whispers.

Zheng Lei had not even walked fifty meters away from the club when he saw someone familiar. Before Zheng Lei could open his mouth, he spoke first.

"Student Zheng Lei, you just returned?" As he spoke, his eyes stared at the neon lights that feebly illuminated the four big words of a beautiful life.

Zheng Lei nodded slightly and said, "That's right. I've already done what I needed to do. It's time to go back and rest."

"Finished?" Hao Ren was a bit surprised and even a bit excited. However, his expression disappeared in a flash and he returned to his previous smiling face as he continued to look at Zheng Lei and said, "You went alone? I can't believe you're so amazing. How did you do it? "

These words didn't seem to have any connotations. However, at this moment, the words that came out of Hao Ren's mouth had a different tone.

He pretended that he did not know what was going on and said, "Haha, it's too easy. I just asked for a glass of red wine, and then I asked the waiter to meet the manager, so they brought me up, and after that it was me and Fang Dong going alone, so I won. But Fang Dong used stimulants and became even wilder than the old man who was about to die.

Then, he raised his thumb and said to Zheng Lei, "Student Zheng Lei, I can't tell at all, you can't judge a book by its cover. I heard that Fang Dong is very powerful, and that he could defeat three experts easily, but I didn't think that you would be able to take care of all of this so easily."

Zheng Lei didn't know what Hao Ren was up to and continued to play dumb. He chuckled and said, "Uh, lucky, lucky."

"Then if you beat away the manager, who's going to open this club in the future? You have to know that there are dozens of students working part-time here for a living. If this place goes out of business, they'll suddenly lose their source of income. " Hao Ren said in a somewhat pitiful manner.

Zheng Lei's face looked troubled, he pretended to be surprised, "Aiya, if you didn't say it, I wouldn't have noticed it, but the moment you said it I remembered, this Fang Dong ran away, in the future no one will manage this place, and I'm not good at this kind of thing, what is this supposed to be?"

Hao Ren walked up and patted Zheng Lei's shoulder, saying, "Aiya, forget it, there's no need to care about it anymore. Even if Fang Dong leaves, there will be people taking care of this place. They won't let a good place go."

Zheng Lei nodded his head, expressing his agreement with Hao Ren's words. Then, he bid Hao Ren farewell and left on his own.

Hao Ren watched as Zheng Lei left, and it wasn't until Zheng Lei's figure disappeared from his line of sight that he finally turned his head to look at the Good Life Club ecstatically. He mumbled to himself excitedly, "Zheng Lei, you idiot, your elder's lips moved slightly, you're just giving me a piece of good meat! You're really an idiot, do you know what the power of wisdom is? "Hahahaha …" Thinking of this, Hao Ren couldn't help but raise his head and laugh out loud.

Zheng Lei had walked all the way back to the dorm, but none of the brothers had slept yet. Seeing him come back, a few of them surrounded him in concern, asking him all at once.

Zheng Lei could only repeat the scene from earlier to his brothers over and over again. He only made his brothers dumbstruck when they heard this, making San Dezi's blood boil. He immediately went to learn martial arts.

It was already late in the night. Zheng Lei was lying on his bed quietly looking out the window at the dark sky. Occasionally, there would be a few lonely stars that would weakly emit distant rays of light.

"Little Wan, where are you?" Zheng Lei called out in his heart.

The tranquil night sky, unable to hear the call in his heart, unable to answer his question. All of this was something only he could silently endure.

After thinking for a while, Zheng Lei sat up with his legs crossed. Following the instructions given to him by his master, Tian Cheng Yang, he began the second step of his cultivation.

If the first step was to learn the method of meditation and breathing, then the second step was to combine the two in an organic way and let them accumulate in a quantitative way. During this process, the Spiritual Energy within the body would become purer and the amount would increase exponentially.

What the True Dragon Sect wanted was to cultivate dual life and death cultivation, which was the method to increase one's mental and physical power at the same time.

One night passed without a word, and in the morning, Zheng Lei opened his eyes. One night spent cultivating didn't make him tired at all. Ever since he entered the Foundation Establishment stage, Zheng Lei felt his fatigue lessen.

He walked to the window and gently opened it, a gust of cold air rushed in and swept through the room, bringing with it a trace of the freshness of the morning. Little Fatty, who was fast asleep, mumbled something in his dreams and then pulled up his blanket and turned around to continue sleeping, unaware that his fat butt had already snuck out of the blanket. He had to at least cover his head, but as for the rest of it, it had nothing to do with sleeping.

Zheng Lei took a deep breath and immediately felt much more refreshed. He then went to wash up and arrived at Old Man Liu's bamboo garden.

With nothing to do behind him, Old Man Liu once again returned to his morning habit of playing taiji. When he saw Zheng Lei coming over, he didn't stop his movements and only lightly nodded his head to greet him.

Zheng Lei didn't say too much and stood not far away from him. Then, he closed his eyes and began to meditate.

"Kid, I heard that something happened outside the school last night." Old Man Liu had appeared in front of Zheng Lei some time ago.

Zheng Lei opened his eyes, raised his head and looked, then stood up and said, "That's right, Fang Dong from the Good Life Club was beaten away by me."

"Just hit him and run away?" Old man Liu stared at Zheng Lei for a while and said, "You brat, why do you not let me worry? That person has gone mad, you, you don't know what's important, luckily no one died this time, otherwise, we'll see how you will end this."

Zheng Lei said somewhat helplessly: "Since our brothers have been bullied, of course I will go and help them earn a living. As for his madness, it was entirely due to his own reasons. Who told him to swallow the pill left behind for him by Jiang Cheng? Madness deserves it! "

"Sigh!" "Let me tell you what?" Old man Liu sighed deeply and said, "Don't worry, I've already asked around about that person. He no longer has any relatives here. Even if there's something, it won't be too troublesome."

Zheng Lei said gratefully, "Mm, thank you, Uncle Liu."

"You, in the future, think about the way back no matter what you do. Don't be so impulsive, it won't do you any good!"

"Un, I will. I also realized that I was too impulsive and didn't think twice before doing something."

"You still know?" Old Liu rolled his eyes at him, then said, "Try your best to hurry up on your homework. After all, you haven't attended class in a long time, so you must have missed out on a lot. If you need someone to make up your studies, you tell me and I'll arrange people for you."

"Mm, okay. I'll tell you if I need anything."

"..."

When he returned to the dorm, his brothers had already woken up. Zheng Lei who was at the door heard Little Fatty mumbling: "Who opened the window, causing me to not be able to sleep well at my best time?" His words caused the brothers to attack in groups. The vitality of the morning began to explode at this moment.

Zheng Lei had a smile on his face. In his heart, he said, "Maybe, this is the taste of life."

I'm really sorry, the router went crazy these two days and sent it to a sanatorium, so the update was not timely. "(u) pu)
