Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Cao Tong’s Surprise

"You’re pretty early."

In the changing room of the Martial Arts Hall, Lin Hao, who had arrived before Chen Feng, greeted him warmly with a wide smile while donning a white Martial Arts Training uniform.

"You’re not late yourself."

Chen Feng nodded in response and quickly took out a black short-sleeved shirt from his bag, then took off the shirt he was wearing.

"Whoa, how come you seem even more muscular?"

Lin Hao, standing by, was somewhat surprised and envious.

He had been training for so long, yet his progress was extremely slow.

By comparison, Chen Feng seemed to be on some kind of booster, growing stronger and stronger.

"Just need to practice more."

Chen Feng shrugged his shoulders, which somewhat grated on Lin Hao.

During their conversation, quite a few people came in and out of the changing room.

Including Wu Tian and Pei Yue, who entered together and exchanged glances with Chen Feng.

A hint of malice flickered, mostly cold indifference.

Neither party spoke until they were out of the changing room; Lin Hao glanced back inside.

Quickening his pace, he moved closer to Chen Feng and whispered, "I did some checking yesterday."

"Turns out this Wu Tian is a bit arrogant inside the Martial Arts Hall, guess what?"

"What?"

"Her aunt is a True Disciple of the Martial Arts Hall."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng paused mid-step.

"True Disciple?"

This was the first time he had heard the term.

"Let me put it this way."

Seeing his confusion, Lin Hao quickly explained, "Coach Cao is impressive, right? He’s not even a True Disciple. If he sees Wu Tian’s aunt, he has to respectfully call her senior sister."

With these words, Chen Feng had a rough understanding.

No wonder Wu Tian seemed a bit foolish.

Turns out she’s been overly protected, untouchable within the Martial Arts Hall, perceiving everything as her due right.

Shaking his head, he didn’t pay too much attention to this matter.

Instead, he was more concerned about the pursuit from Tianheng Society.

"Let’s not talk about this, how’s the investigation on Tianheng Society going?"

"You said three days, don’t rush it."

"Some news takes time."

Lin Hao said with a smiling expression, then gestured with two fingers, asking him to wait another two days.

Seeing this, Chen Feng nodded, not pressing further.

In a short while, the two walked together into the practice room.

As the clock struck nine, their day of standing and Practicing Boxing began.

....

"How’s the investigation going?"

At the same moment, in a high-rise office at the top of a building in Nanjiang City.

Behind a red painted wooden desk sat a middle-aged man, clutching a cigar in his hand, leaning back against a genuine leather black chair.

"Boss, your men have found out everything."

"That Chen Yun’s brother doesn’t have much of a network, but seems to have some Martial Arts Talent, currently practicing in the Core Class of the Yanwu Gym."

"Worried about attracting attention from people at Yanwu Gym, so the brothers pulled back."

As soon as the words were spoken, the middle-aged man leaning against the genuine leather black chair raised an eyebrow.

"Core Class? When did this happen?"

"Just a few days ago, he passed the Yanwu Gym’s assessment and became a Core Student."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man’s brows eased, and he took a puff of his cigar.

"Anything else found?"

"No, the guy is quite reclusive, rarely interacts with others."

"Hmm."

Nodding, the middle-aged man’s expression returned to calm.

"Well, that’ll do. Since the kid has made it into the Core Class, he must have caught the attention of Yanwu Gym."

"No need for bloodshed, just handle the research institute’s matters discreetly, solve them with reasonable rules, and don’t expose us."

The reporting man nodded emphatically but stood still, not leaving.

"Is there anything else?" The middle-aged man asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Over at the jewelry store, Ah Biao lost two brothers, there are some feelings..."

Before the sentence was finished, the man known as the Society Leader understood the meaning.

Taking a puff from his cigar, his face was not quite clear through the smoke.

"Let him come in."

...

"The Core Class has rules: practice daily, battle every three days."

"Fists are trained to fight; this way we can gauge your abilities and give you a chance to vent your bad energy."

Inside the Yanwu Gym’s practice room.

As Coach Cao’s words concluded, many students appeared shocked, their expressions varied.

Most were exhilarated, rubbing their hands together, ready for a good fight.

Similarly, Chen Feng quickly noticed the malice in the glance cast from afar.

Wu Tian in his white Martial Arts Uniform looked down with a sneer, his lips curled in provocation and mockery.

As if to say, no matter how you dodge, you cannot escape defeat.

"Idiot."

Chen Feng shook his head privately, ignoring it.

Now that his Perception has undergone a Transformation, he could naturally sense the strength of the other’s aura.

At an Amateur Ninth Rank level, just slightly better, but still a long way from the Professional Level.

Perhaps in the eyes of other students from Core Third Class, he seemed unbeatably strong.

But to him...

It was really not interesting enough to spar.

Thinking of this, he quickly suppressed his distractions and continued to look at Coach Cao.

Nor did he disappoint; after talking about some future arrangements, Coach Cao continued: "Additionally, there is one more thing."

"To help you better practice the Flame Tiger Stance, from today on, everyone who enters the Entry-level of Flame Tiger Stance can get a bowl of Qi Blood Soup Medicine at noon."

"This will help you condition your body, strengthen your vitality and physique; those who want to drink it should hurry up and enter the Entry-level."

After the briefing, Chen Feng’s eyes moved, somewhat curious about what this Qi Blood Soup Medicine was.

Could it be a secret medicine?

Thinking it over, he would know by noon anyway and decided not to delve further.

Before long, watching Coach Cao direct everyone in standing Pile Skills, starting hands-on teaching.

He took advantage of this precious time to sink his waist into a horse stance, positioning himself in the Flame Tiger Stance.

The Flame Tiger Stance, also known as Flame Tiger Fist.

Eleven movements, combining stillness and motion, can be practiced and used to strike.

Instantly, with Will in control, he entered a calm state.

Chen Feng soon visualized the Red Tiger Flying Sky Map in his mind.

His center of gravity sank, fingers turned into claws, and feet stomped firmly on the floor.

In a moment, his form shifted, and in the next second, he executed the first movement of Pile Skills, Crouching Tiger.

In an instant.

Under this move, a rapid torrent of tearing sensations emerged.

Chen Feng could feel his leg muscles being tempered.

After holding this position for a moment, his moves changed, and soon his arms reached forward, tiger claws crisscrossing.

In a daze, Lin Hao watching this scene felt as if a human-shaped fierce tiger had appeared before him.

He didn’t understand what was happening and could only admire Chen Feng’s advanced Pile Skills in his heart.

"Hmm?"

However, unlike Lin Hao’s missed perception.

Coach Cao, with his rich experience, almost instantly noticed the subtle change in the atmosphere as Chen Feng fully immersed himself in practicing.

With a surprised raise of his eyebrows, at first, he thought it was due to Wu Tian.

But as he looked around, he realized that was not the case.

A bold guess arose, and he quickly turned his head to look towards the left corner of the practice room.

Sunlight poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the tall young man in a black short-sleeved shirt stood in place, claws outstretched and interlocking.

An ordinary scene, but in his eyes, it was like a tiger lunging through the mountains and forests.

Suddenly, his gaze solidified.

Coach Cao, about to instruct others, froze on the spot.

"Tiger Form?"
