Chapter 108: Surpass The Two Of Us?
"Dammit, you bastard! How can you throw me under the bus?!" Wu Zhen couldn't believe that Huo Dong would betray him like this.
Yes, I was the one who brought it up. But you lounged around even more than me! And dammit! You beat me to it! I was going to throw you under the bus!
Sorry, brother Wu. Haven't you heard the saying, he who strikes first will win? Of course, Huo Dong knows Wu Zhen will pin it on him. That's why he did it quickly so he wouldn't have a chance to say anything.
As Huo Dong thought he was safe, Elder Wu looks at his lazy son and his disciple, "I don't care who forced who. Both of you have been lounging around, so both of you will be punished accordingly."
When Huo Dong heard that, it felt like lightning has struck him! While his face loses color, Wu Zhen is laughing his head off, "Hah! Suck it, Huo Dong! That's what you get for abandoning me!"
"You!" Huo Dong wanted to beat Wu Zhen up at this moment. But while the two of them are bickering, they didn't see the demon forming beside them.
Impending fury was going to rain down upon them.
"Ahem!"
Both of their bodies freeze. Oh no! They slowly turn around to see Elder Wu glaring at the two of them.
A smile forms on Elder Wu's angry expression as he says, "Wu Zhen, Huo Dong. Let's do some sparring. Since both of you have so much energy and time to lounge around, this old man needs to train you guys again."
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
Just hearing the word "sparring" brought a shiver down their spine. Sparring didn't mean actual sparring for the two.
It meant hell on earth.
Even with the two of them combine d, it still wasn't enough to put a dent on the elderly man. And every single time they were planted to the ground, this elderly man would continue to beat them down until their face turned into a pig.
Before Elder Wu could crack his knuckles and start punching, Wu Zhen thought up an idea!
"Lao Ba, I would love to spar with you again, but why did you go so hard on Lu Chen? If you have given this training to our regular cadets, they would have thrown up from the first minute. And you even increased your power bit by bit."
Huo Dong nods his head to what Wu Zhen said. The two have been training under Elder Wu for such a long time that they knew he was increasing his power with each punch against Lu Chen.
Wu Zhen and Huo Dong had watched the entire training between Elder Wu and Lu Chen, and they couldn't help but pray and feel pity for Lu Chen as his first time training was to become a punching bag.
Even when Lao ba had trained me in the beginning, he had never pushed me this hard. So how could he do this for the third young master?
Elder Wu didn't say anything, which made Huo Dong and Wu Zhen look at him more eagerly. The only thing he could say to them is, "Lu Chen is abnormal."
"Abnormal?" The two of them look at each other and then back to Elder Wu, "How?" The only thing they could tell was Lu Chen will become a professional punching bag after a few more times.
"Let me asks you; if one of you guys gets punched by me, how would you guys react?"
"....We will throw up." Wu Zhen said in shame. His father's attack was too strong of a hit if he doesn't block it.
"Yet, the young master didn't do anything like that at all."
"!"
Elder Wu sighs, "You guys couldn't see it from your point of view, but there is something wrong with Lu Chen as I fought him."
As Elder Wu one-sidely pummeled Lu Chen, each and every time Lu Chen would fall to the ground, he would get back up with a bigger fire in his eyes.
It was like the young master's eyes were telling me to keep punching him to increase his strength and power.
That was the first time Elder Wu saw something as crazy as this. So how could he not respond to the boy's intent?
Elder Wu didn’t say anything more about the experience, “The two of you better get your act together. The third young master will surpass the two of you someday.”
Hmm? Surpass the two of us? Wu Zhen and Huo Dong look at each other in disbelief at how Lu Chen would surpass them.
Huo Dong then spoke up, “Master, even if the third young master could surpass us, shouldn’t he still have somebody to protect him?”
