Richest Rag-picker

Chapter 472: Chapter 444: Exceeding Expectations

As the two blades in his hands collided, Fang Chenyi felt both hands suddenly lighten, without any sense of resistance.

However, when he lowered his head and looked at the two blades, Fang Chenyi was stunned.

The two blades he had been holding had now become one and a half.

More accurately, one of them had been sheared clean off.

Of course, the one that was cut was definitely not the Bone Blade. At some point, the military-grade dagger had been sliced neatly in two, and he hadn’t even felt a thing.

Seeing this, Fang Chenyi couldn’t help but gasp. ’Such a fast blade! Such a sturdy blade!’

In the face of this Bone Blade, the dagger forged from special steel hadn’t offered even the slightest resistance.

He tossed the broken dagger into a nearby trash can, his gaze lingering on the Bone Blade.

He clicked his tongue in admiration a few times before gently placing it on the adjacent table.

Then, he reached back into the woven sack, but his hands were still empty when he pulled them out.

An awkward expression appeared on Fang Chenyi’s face.

His idea was simple: take the Bone Hammer out of the sack for a look. Since the Bone Blade was so ridiculously powerful, he figured the Bone Hammer couldn’t be too shabby either.

What embarrassed Fang Chenyi, however, was that while his hand had gripped the Bone Hammer, he couldn’t actually lift it out.

The reason was simple: the Bone Hammer was far too heavy. His current strength wasn’t enough to lift it.

Having no other choice, he had to resort to using the garbage tongs again.

This time, there was no resistance. He easily pulled it out of the woven sack.

The Bone Hammer was shaped like an ancient warhammer, with a large, watermelon-sized spherical head and a handle about half a meter long.

Like the blade, the Bone Hammer didn’t look particularly special, appearing just as plain and simple.

However, the entire hammer exuded a dull, oppressive aura.

Even Fang Chenyi felt his chest tighten, as if it were hard to breathe.

But the moment his hand gripped the hammer’s handle, this feeling instantly vanished.

He tried to lift it again, only to discover, to his dismay, that he could only raise it less than ten centimeters off the ground.

He sighed helplessly. ’Looks like my current strength isn’t enough to wield it yet.’

’I wonder when I’ll be able to handle it.’

’And when will I be able to increase my strength again? Do I have to take another one of those Medicine Pills?’

Thinking of that bone-deep, agonizing pain, Fang Chenyi couldn’t help but shiver.

’To hell with that,’ he thought. ’There’s no way I’m going through that again.’

After studying it for a while longer, Fang Chenyi simply put the Bone Hammer back into the woven sack.

He checked the time and saw it was getting late. Not feeling hungry, he simply lay down on his bed and fell asleep.

「The next morning.」 A KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK came from the door.

Startled awake, Fang Chenyi climbed out of bed, slightly annoyed.

He had always told his people not to disturb him in his room unless it was an emergency; after all, he had far too many secrets.

He stood up and pulled open the door. His sleepiness vanished instantly, replaced by a look of pleasant surprise.

"Brother Fang."

Standing outside was none other than Qi Xiaotian, who had been in a coma for several days. The guy was now standing at the door with a wide grin, looking full of energy.

Fang Chenyi was also excited. He reached out and clapped the other man’s shoulder, immediately sensing the explosive power contained within Qi Xiaotian’s body.

"How is it? How are you feeling now, kid?"

In response to Fang Chenyi’s question, Qi Xiaotian simply flexed his muscles and said excitedly,

"I feel like I have an endless supply of energy right now. When I woke up just now, I jumped up so fast that I smashed the bed frame above my head. Hehehe."

He nodded emphatically. "Good kid. Come on, let’s go spar. I want to see what level you’ve reached. By the way, are you feeling any discomfort?"

Qi Xiaotian shook his head.

"Nope, not at all. I feel great, totally comfortable all over. It’s been a long time since I felt this good."

As they spoke, the two of them headed outside, soon arriving at a training room specially built on the cruise ship.

After changing into training gear, they stepped directly onto the ring in the center. Fang Chenyi beckoned to him with a finger.

"Come on. You first."

Qi Xiaotian, who knew Fang Chenyi’s skills well, didn’t hesitate. He threw a punch and charged straight at Fang Chenyi.

The punch was incredibly powerful and fast. In the blink of an eye, Qi Xiaotian was right in front of Fang Chenyi.

Feeling the rush of air before his face, Fang Chenyi unhurriedly tilted his head to the side. The next moment, a powerful fist, whistling through the air, grazed past his temple.

But just as Fang Chenyi’s head dodged the blow, he felt a similar pressure aimed at his abdomen.

This surprised Fang Chenyi for a moment. ’I forgot how agile this kid is, and how many moves he knows. Good thing I’m strong enough, or he would’ve actually gotten me.’

Fang Chenyi didn’t dare hesitate any longer. He pushed off the ground with both feet, his body shooting backward rapidly.

His speed was immense; in an instant, he had leaped back three to five meters.

Seeing Fang Chenyi now at a distance, Qi Xiaotian didn’t give up. He also pushed off the ground, his body shooting forward like an arrow from a bow, in hot pursuit.

THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD.

A series of flesh-on-flesh impacts echoed through the training room as the two men in the ring traded blows in a lively exchange.

Time ticked by. More than ten minutes passed, and the two were still fighting.

Finally, after another ten-plus minutes, Qi Xiaotian was the first to stop. Panting for breath, he pulled off his gloves and looked with a wry smile at Fang Chenyi, who wasn’t even breathing hard.

"No more, no more," he said. "Hah... I’m exhausted. Brother Fang, your skills are just insane. I feel like even ten of me couldn’t beat you."

Smiling, Fang Chenyi also took off his gloves. He looked at the bent-over, gasping Qi Xiaotian and said with a grin,

"Haha, you’re already very strong. You’ve at least surpassed my expectations."
