"Excellent. In that case, let's head to the training ground. You can spar with Xiaotian. I want to see just how much stronger you've gotten."

After speaking, Fang Chenyi led the way outside.

Qi Xiaotian and Han Licheng quickly followed.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the training ground. After changing into their sparring clothes, Qi Xiaotian and Han Licheng each climbed into the ring.

Qi Xiaotian then crooked a finger at Han Licheng, perfectly mimicking the tone Fang Chenyi had used on him before. "Come on. You first."

Seeing Xiaotian'er's pretentious act, Fang Chenyi couldn't help but recall his own match against him, and a smile touched his lips.

Han Licheng cupped his fist at Qi Xiaotian, let out a sharp cry, and charged, raising his fists at the same time.

Watching Han Licheng's charging speed, Fang Chenyi nodded in approval. 'While he's still a long way from my level, his speed is already remarkable compared to an ordinary person, or even to his former self. It's at least five times faster.'

Facing Han Licheng's incoming punch, Qi Xiaotian shouted in approval. He quickly raised his own fists and threw a hard punch into the empty air in front of him.

Though the punch was aimed at nothing but air, in the next instant, Han Licheng's attacking fist seemed to deliberately fly right into it.

The two fists met with a muffled THUD.

The blow sent Han Licheng stumbling forward. Hunched over, he staggered five or six steps before finally regaining his balance.

However, Han Licheng wasn't discouraged by the blow. On the contrary, it only fueled his fighting spirit. He spun around, let out another shout, and charged at Qi Xiaotian again, fists swinging.

This time, Han Licheng was clearly smarter. Just as his fist was about to reach Qi Xiaotian, he suddenly sidestepped, slipping right past him.

At the same time, Han Licheng pushed off powerfully with his right leg, launching himself into the air. He then swung his left leg viciously at Qi Xiaotian's head.

Feeling the fierce gust of wind on his face, Qi Xiaotian immediately threw his arms up to block.

BAM! Han Licheng's left leg slammed hard against Qi Xiaotian's arms.

However, before Han Licheng could rejoice, he was shocked to find his own body sent reeling back by the impact.

'The force of my kick isn't even as strong as his two arms!'

That's right. Han Licheng's full-power kick actually wasn't stronger than Qi Xiaotian's two arms.

Isn't there a saying that you can't win a fight of arm against leg? But right now, it was obvious Han Licheng's leg was no match for his opponent's arms.

Watching Han Licheng rebound off him, Qi Xiaotian once again crooked his finger and said nonchalantly, "Not bad. Again."

'The kid's learned my lines perfectly. That's exactly what I said to him back when I was schooling him.'

But Han Licheng clearly wasn't like him. After that exchange, he simply righted himself, waved his hand at Qi Xiaotian, and said with a pained expression:

"Captain, you're just too good. There's no way I can fight you."

Qi Xiaotian was quite satisfied seeing Han Licheng concede. He walked over, taking off his gloves, and patted him on the shoulder. "Actually, you're not bad at all, kid," he said reassuringly. "Just keep training hard in the future... Urk—"

However, he stopped abruptly. The reason was simple: at that moment, he felt a vicious gust of wind rushing toward his stomach.

'Oh, shit!' he thought, frantically pushing off the ground to retreat.

But it was too late. THUD.

A sharp pain shot through Qi Xiaotian's abdomen. He didn't need to look down to know that brat Han Licheng had just sucker-punched him.

Using the force of the punch to propel himself backward, he executed an agile flip in mid-air and lashed out with his right foot at Han Licheng's face.

The next moment, with a sharp WHAP, Qi Xiaotian's kick connected squarely with Han Licheng's face, sending him sprawling to the ground.

Qi Xiaotian straightened up, gently rubbing his stomach where he'd been hit. He couldn't help but click his tongue.

"You little punk, you dare pull a sneak attack on me? But you've got some nerve, you actually managed to land a hit. Not bad. How about this: you don't get lunch today."

After saying that, he secretly winced. 'Damn, that punch really packed a wallop.'

Meanwhile, Han Licheng, who had been lying on the ground, flipped over and scrambled back to his feet. Thanks to his headgear, and the fact that Qi Xiaotian hadn't used his full strength, he only felt dazed for a moment before recovering.

Watching the disgruntled Qi Xiaotian, Fang Chenyi, who was observing from the side, found the situation quite amusing. 'That kid is usually so full of tricks. I can't believe he got sneak-attacked today. How interesting.'

Of course, Fang Chenyi had no intention of interfering with Qi Xiaotian's punishment for Han Licheng. After all, Qi Xiaotian needed to establish his own authority.

After getting to his feet, Han Licheng gave Qi Xiaotian a sheepish grin.

"Heh heh... well, I was just learning from you, Captain. Aren't you always the one telling us that it doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat?"

Qi Xiaotian laughed along with him. "Oh, is that so?" he chuckled.

"Well, well, you're a quick learner, aren't you? Hmm, since you've learned so well, I suppose I should give you a reward, right?"

Seeing Qi Xiaotian's beaming smile, Han Licheng couldn't help but shudder. He quickly waved his hands, insisting that it wasn't necessary.

But Qi Xiaotian had no intention of letting him off so easily. He continued smiling and said, "No, no, a reward is absolutely necessary. How about this? We'll cancel your dinner tonight, too."

Han Licheng's face fell the moment he heard that, and he was filled with regret.

'Sigh, why did I have to be so clever for my own good? Trying to outsmart the captain... Great. Just great. Now I'm out two meals...'

AWOO! AWOO!

Just then, a series of howls echoed from the entrance of the training ground.

Everyone froze. They turned to look and saw a giant of a man, well over two meters tall, running toward them. Trotting alongside him was a husky.

It was none other than Vajra and Er Gouzi. Fang Chenyi had no idea where the pair had been fooling around for the past few days. He hadn't seen them in a while and had assumed they'd stayed behind with Yishou.
