Fanatic!

Chapter 91 The advantage is mine
"How much of this historical content is true and how much is false..." Chen Wujun said casually while lying on the sofa.

"It's true that there was a war. Before the war, global resources were already severely scarce... Then the dark fifty years began, and there were many different opinions and speculations. I don't know which one is true..." Aqi said cautiously.

She doesn't pay much attention to these historical mysteries and grand events.

She was just an ordinary person in the walled city who only wanted a better life.

Chen Wujun didn't ask any more questions; he knew that someone should know some of the details.

His master was Zhou Qing.

If he really wanted to know, he could just ask Zhou Qing; maybe the other person would tell him something.

But he wasn't actually that curious.

History is the past.

Aqi put down the history book she was holding and picked up a comprehensive science book (volume 1), saying as she flipped through it, "I need a blackboard..."

"I'll have someone deliver it tomorrow." Chen Wujun sat up from the sofa.

He could just lie there and listen to Aqi tell stories about history, but general science involved a lot of content, which was also something he was more interested in learning.

……

The next day, Chen Wujun came out of the warehouse and strolled to the computer room on Longjin Street, where he saw that it was crowded with people.

Even if ten Street Fighter II machines were placed inside, there would still be people queuing up.

Other machines also have players, but far fewer than Street Fighter, and some machines are even empty.

"Brother Jun, you're here! The place is packed!" The henchman rushed out as soon as he saw Chen Wujun.

"Alright, just go about your business." Chen Wujun stood at the door for a moment, then left.

After all, it's his own business, so he still has to put some effort into it.

Seeing the bustling activity in the server room, he felt relieved.

He went to the gambling den again, gave Ah Fei some instructions on poaching people, and then left.

For the next month, he practiced martial arts in the warehouse every day, walking on greased wooden stakes and hitting sandbags as if on flat ground, without moving his body at all.

During this period, I went to Shark Nine again to pay the fee, and during that time I also had a conflict with Ji Xiang.

"boom!"

As Chen Wujun punched the sandbag, it exploded violently, splitting open in the middle and drooping down, spilling all the sand onto the ground and raising dust.

"It's not working again..." Chen Wujun moved and darted several meters away, feeling somewhat irritated.

There's one downside to being in a warehouse.

Elsewhere, if a sandbag breaks, the henchmen can simply clean it up and replace it with a new one.

But here... you have to do everything yourself.

He's very impatient with doing these chores now.

Although Zhou Qing never said it, he secretly regarded this place as a secret base and never brought his henchmen here.

After cleaning up the warehouse, he lost his motivation to practice his skills. He picked up some clothes, put them on, and left.

At night, Chen Wujun soaked in a wooden tub, his body making sounds like thunder rolling in the sky.

This is his muscles and bones trembling together, constantly absorbing the medicinal properties into his body to nourish and restore it.

A skill like Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover requires medicinal baths for warming and recovery; otherwise, the body will be ruined before the skill is mastered.

In particular, the medicinal bath also contains magnetic crystals, which can continuously stimulate and enhance the cells in the body.

In the old days, many people who practiced martial arts and were physically strong would have short lifespans, and that was because of this.

After the medicinal bath, Chen Wujun put on his coat and went to the martial arts school.

"Brother Jun!" At any time, there are always many henchmen practicing and working out at the martial arts school, hoping to one day rise to the top and become a big boss, achieving great success.

When he arrived at the small room on the second floor, several henchmen were sitting there smoking. They all stood up and greeted him when they saw him.

There were also several steel bars, each about the thickness of a thumb and a meter long, placed next to it.

When he practiced the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover technique, he had already progressed from using a wooden stick to an iron stick, and finally to using steel bars.

"Let's begin." Chen Wujun took off his jacket, put on a pair of athletic shorts, and stood in the room. He took a deep breath, and all the muscles in his body bulged up, even the small muscles stood out.

He seemed to have gained a lot of weight, but unlike those who work out, his veins were almost visible through his skin like little snakes.

Chen Wujun's veins were not very prominent, and his skin was red.

This is the bodily change that occurs as one progresses in external martial arts training, specifically during the circulation of qi and blood.

The henchmen didn't take Chen Wujun's change to heart; they were already used to it.

"Brother Jun, we're starting." Several henchmen greeted him first, then put on gloves and swung steel bars at Chen Wujun's body.

Boom boom boom!
The steel bars struck Chen Wujun's body, but it didn't feel like they were striking a human body at all.

Even with gloves on, they could feel the recoil force transmitted through the steel bars.

"Roar!" Chen Wujun couldn't hold back the breath in his stomach any longer and let out a tiger's roar.

The tiger's roar was so powerful that it instantly shattered most of the blood and energy in the henchmen's bodies, leaving their heads buzzing. The steel bars that fell on Chen Wujun were powerless.

The henchmen were terrified. Brother Jun's roar was becoming increasingly frightening, truly like a tiger. Moreover, their strength was instantly dissipated, and they couldn't even lift themselves up.

After a short rest, the henchmen swung steel bars at Chen Wujun again.

More than an hour later, Chen Wujun finally sat down to rest.

"Back then, when my master roared like a tiger, all my blood and qi were scattered. That's the power of the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield... Now I can also scatter the blood and qi of my henchmen, but it probably won't be of much use against experts of the same level."

"Masters of the same level all possess surging blood and qi, and have extremely strong control over their bodies, making them less susceptible to influence. If you keep practicing this skill, you might be able to achieve that."

"However, the strength of my muscles and bones has been greatly improved, and even the strength of my internal organs has been greatly increased. Moreover, when I move qi and blood, all the muscles in my body swell up, and their hardness increases significantly, protecting my bones and internal organs."

If one directs their Qi and blood to one point, the boost is even greater. As long as they aren't hit in vital areas or weak points, they can withstand a few blows without suffering too much damage, at least maintaining a certain level of combat effectiveness.

Chen Wujun felt that he could start preparing now.

……

At the same time, two tall men walked in while talking.

The tall, long-haired man was named Gao Fei. He was originally in charge of Longgang Road, but he ended up giving half of it to He Tu.

Fortunately, Li Donglong and Wenlong compensated Huolong, and Huolong also gave him some compensation, which made up for part of his losses.

Wenlong's men sell No. 4 boys in his territory, and they give him a sum of money every month.

The other short-haired man was named Li Zhijun, and he was Wenlong's subordinate.

Upon entering the dance hall, Gao Fei glanced around and noticed that there weren't many customers. He then beckoned to the person in charge of the venue.

"What's going on? Why are there so few people? Have all the people in the walled city become vegetarians?"

"Brother Fei, we've lost quite a few girls to poaching lately, Coco and Lizhen have both been taken away..."

"Damn it, I give them so much money every month, and they got poached? What are you guys doing? Who poached them?" Gao Fei was furious when he heard this news.

"It's the dance hall in Hetu, south of here... They pay 100 yuan per performance there, and only take 50% of the tips..."

At Gao Fei's place, dancers only get 60 yuan for a half-hour performance, taking 70% of the tips and 50% for going out with the dancers.

Especially since there's one less venue, dancers have to give the person in charge a 50 yuan red envelope every day if they want to go on stage, otherwise they won't even have the chance to go on stage.

Originally, it wouldn't have mattered, since those dancers had nowhere else to go.

But when Li Dong gave up that half street, he took all the dancers with him. Chen Wujun's place didn't even have any dancers left. These days, A Fei has been poaching people, offering extremely high terms.

They get 100 yuan per performance, 50% of the tips, and 40% of the escort fee. Plus, there are performances available every day, and they don't need to pay any red envelopes.

Therefore, after Hetu ensured their safety, the popular dancers in the dance hall were all poached.

Only a few long-term drug addicts who couldn't leave remained here.

"Damn it!" Gao Fei kicked the person in charge aside, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

He was already furious enough about being forced to give up half a street, and now that they'd stolen his person, he really wanted to lead his men over to cause trouble and teach those bitches a lesson.

However, the thought of Chen Wujun beating Wei to death on stage made him less courageous.

But doing nothing won't work either.

Just as he stood there hesitating, Li Zhijun noticed his hesitation and said with a smile, "He Tu has gone too far. Gao Fei, you're not just going to let this go, are you?"

“If we just let this go like this, once word gets out, everyone will know you’re afraid of that Chen Wujun… You’ll lose all face…”

"Screw what!" Gao Fei roared, then backed down a bit: "But that guy is indeed tough to deal with. Yu Wei was beaten to death, and you guys didn't even utter a sound, did you?"

“We’re governed by the rules set by the boss, so we have to accept the consequences. You’re different,” Li Zhijun said sarcastically.

Wenlong had long ago instructed them to find a way to provoke a conflict between Huolong and Shajiu, especially in Longgang Road, where Chen Wujun and Gao Fei each control half a street.

With just a little manipulation, we can get them to fight.

And here comes the opportunity.

Seeing Gao Fei still hesitating, Li Zhijun leaned close to his ear and said, "How about this? We're on the same side after all, and I can't just watch you get bullied by him. If word gets out, it'll ruin the reputation of the entire Lidong. If you want to cause him trouble, I'll help you out. With the two of us on your side, he'll have no choice but to suffer in silence."

"Besides, you're just teaching those people a lesson; you don't need to start a war..."

Upon hearing this, Gao Fei's mind immediately became lively.

Li Zhijun is right. If we do nothing, people will think we are afraid of Chen Wujun, and we will lose face.

I'm not going to war with him, I'm just teaching those vile women a lesson.

Although Chen Wujun is quite capable, the advantage lies with me, who is fighting against Li Zhijun.

If both sides compromise, they'll save face...

That bastard Li Zhijun wants to use me as a pawn. If a real fight breaks out... then I'll make him the one in front.

"That's what you said."

"Don't worry, I've disliked him for a long time. I'll help you with this," Li Zhijun immediately said, patting his chest.

Gao Fei made up his mind and said angrily to his henchman, "Go and call someone over."

Li Zhijun's eyes darted around, and he instructed his henchmen behind him: "Notify some people to come over."
