Richest Rag-picker

Vajra was a big fella, and his sheer size was imposing. He didn't need any fancy moves; a simple charge was like being hit by a small tank. An ordinary person wouldn't stand a chance.

But it had to be said, the big guy knew how to hold back. He understood that a spar wasn't about landing heavy blows, plus he and Qi Xiaotian were very good friends.

It wasn't just Qi Xiaotian, either. You could say the big guy was on good terms with every crew member on the cruise ship. Everyone always took good care of him, so right now, he just opened his arms, planning to simply pounce on Xiaotian'er and pin him down.

Otherwise, he would have swatted him with a massive palm long ago.

When Vajra spread his arms, they spanned well over two meters, completely cutting off Qi Xiaotian's escape to either side.

Looking at Qi Xiaotian, who was now right in front of him, Vajra couldn't help but break into a happy grin.

'In another moment,' he seemed to think, 'Qi Xiaotian will be in my arms, unable to move. Then he'll have no choice but to hand over that beef jerky.'

But Vajra's thinking was a bit too simple. To be precise, he subconsciously still thought of Qi Xiaotian as his old self.

WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF.

As if cheering Vajra on, Er Gouzi ran back and forth on the sidelines, barking excitedly.

Back in the center of the action, the man and the gorilla closed in on each other. Just as Vajra's arms were about to wrap around him, Qi Xiaotian suddenly dropped into a crouch, ducking right under them.

Then, he shot his fists out, rapidly striking Vajra's belly.

THUD THUD THUD THUD.

Four punches landed on Vajra's belly in quick succession. Even with his powerful abdominal muscles, the flurry of blows from Qi Xiaotian forced him to take a step back.

After regaining his footing, Vajra froze, clearly stunned. He stared in disbelief at Qi Xiaotian, who was now grinning triumphantly before him.

Qi Xiaotian gave a provocative wave of his arm and laughed loudly. "Haha! Let's keep going."

The words had barely left his mouth before Qi Xiaotian took the initiative. He stomped his right foot on the ground and charged straight at Vajra.

At the same time, his gloved fists flew straight toward Vajra's chest.

This time, Vajra got angry. With a loud ROAR, he beat his chest twice. THUMP THUMP.

Just then, Qi Xiaotian's fists arrived. Vajra swept his arms outward from his chest, instantly meeting Qi Xiaotian's attack.

A muffled THUD echoed as man and gorilla separated on impact. The force of the collision sent Vajra stumbling back two steps.

Qi Xiaotian, on the other hand, landed solidly on his feet, not pushed back an inch.

This proved that in a direct clash of strength, Qi Xiaotian's power had actually surpassed Vajra's.

Even Qi Xiaotian hadn't expected this. 'I knew I was stronger now,' he thought, 'but I never imagined I'd be this much stronger than Vajra.'

HOWL HOWL HOWL!

Vajra let out a furious roar and threw his entire body at Qi Xiaotian like a battering ram.

Seeing this, Qi Xiaotian shouted, "Bring it on!"

He immediately shot out both hands and grabbed the arm swinging at him. Using the momentum, he planted his right foot forward and his left foot back. With a low grunt, he braced himself, then used all his strength to swing his arms. He executed a perfect shoulder throw, slamming Vajra onto the soft ground in front of him with a loud THUD.

Qi Xiaotian's movements were as fluid as flowing water. Just like that, he had taken down Vajra—a creature more than twice his own weight.

After being thrown to the ground by Qi Xiaotian, Vajra scrambled away with a clumsy roll. Once he'd put some distance between them, he plopped down on his rear.

But he refused to get up. Instead, he looked over at Fang Chenyi, pointed a massive hand at Qi Xiaotian, and started whimpering, his face a perfect picture of grievance.

Qi Xiaotian couldn't help but laugh at the big guy's antics. He started walking toward Vajra. But when Vajra saw him approaching, he flopped dramatically onto his back with a THUMP.

Watching this, Fang Chenyi, who had been on the sidelines, couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.

'He really is a smart one,' he thought. 'He knows he can't beat Qi Xiaotian, so he's just playing dead to surrender.'

Qi Xiaotian didn't stop walking, however. He went right up to Vajra and offered a hand to pull him up.

Seeing this, Vajra thought, 'I'm not an idiot. Why would I get up just so you can beat on me again?'

And so, the big guy stopped his whimpering and ignored Qi Xiaotian completely. He simply shut his eyes and played dead.

Qi Xiaotian let out a laugh, then reached into his pants pocket, pulled out the beef jerky, and tore open the packaging. He dangled it right in front of Vajra's nose.

Vajra, who had been keeping his eyes firmly shut, suddenly twitched his large nose a couple of times. He still didn't open his eyes, just to be safe, but everyone could clearly see the drool starting to trickle from the corner of his mouth.

At that, everyone burst out laughing again.

"Haha. Alright, get up, you big lug. This is for you. I won't hit you anymore."

As soon as he heard Qi Xiaotian promise not to hit him, Vajra instantly scrambled up from the ground. He snatched the beef jerky from Qi Xiaotian's hand and, without a second thought, stuffed it into his mouth and began to eat noisily. CHOMP CHOMP.

As he ate, he saw that everyone was still laughing. The big fella, Vajra, couldn't help but grin along with them.

Er Gouzi, however, saw Vajra eating the beef jerky and realized he'd been completely forgotten.

He ran right up and barked twice at Vajra, clearly begging for a share. But Vajra paid the dog no mind. 'I took a beating to earn this delicious treat. Why on earth would I give any to you, Er Gouzi?'

With these two characters around, the atmosphere was wonderful for a while.

Just then, a crew member came running up. It was the man in charge of looking after the fifty crew members who had taken the Medicine Pills.

Upon seeing Fang Chenyi and Qi Xiaotian, he immediately snapped to attention and spoke.

"Boss, Captain. More of them are waking up."

Hearing that more people were waking up, Fang Chenyi and Qi Xiaotian exchanged a glance and hurried over.

When they saw them leaving, Vajra and Er Gouzi also hurried to follow.

By the time Fang Chenyi and Qi Xiaotian's group reached the training ground, more than a dozen people were already sitting up on the fifty beds arranged there.

Not only that, but others were just starting to climb out of their beds as well.

Seeing that as these people got up, not only did they show no ill effects, but each one actually looked full of vigor, Fang Chenyi couldn't help but feel his heart relax a little...
