Holy Fist

Chapter 39: 039 Far beyond previous professional experience

Fast, beyond the ordinary!

Fierce, with all their heart and soul!

The combat between these two was perilous and ferocious, as they exchanged blows rapidly.

Each time their palms and feet swept through the air, there was a distinct whooshing sound, leaving no doubt about the astonishing power they contained. When a foot swiped down diagonally, it could shovel up the dirt from the ground, leaving a pit.

“Jeez, that speed, can someone really do that?”

Next to Bai Xiao, a young man with shoulder-length hair exclaimed in shock.

...

Indeed, the two combatants’ speed was too fast at this moment, as if a martial arts movie was being fast-forwarded. Although the human eye could still make out their movements, it was almost too much to keep up with. This was not something a normal person, or even a professional fighter, could manage.

Swish!

One of the fighters suddenly lunged forward, fiercely ripping through the air. The other sidestepped swiftly, avoiding the attack. As a result, the claw brutally scratched into a large tree’s trunk behind them, making a tearing sound!

A piece of wood along with the bark was ferociously pulled off.

At the spot, the trunk was gouged out, leaving a concave cross-section.

Within the cross-section, one could still vaguely see the traces of fingers that had ripped through quickly.

“Dammit!” “F*ck!” “Awesome!”

Expressions of astonishment filled the air, never ceasing.

Bai Xiao’s eyes were also deep, with a fire slowly accumulating.

The display from White Bird Martial Arts Hall was enough!

It was enough for Bai Xiao to focus wholeheartedly on his career as a Fighter from here on out!

The two men who were fighting stopped and slowly turned around.

One had an ordinary face, with a mole on his chin.

The other had large, bright eyes that were extremely spirited.

Both were wearing tight fighting suits with a ferocious bird ready to fly embossed on the back, covering their shoulders and the claws extending to the sleeves. The suits were in platinum white with a hint of blood-red dark hue.

Bai Xiao had seen these uniforms before.

They were the ones worn by the eldest senior brother from White Bird Martial Arts Hall in the training videos shared by Coach Zhang Hongtao.

This meant that these two must be official disciples of the Fierce Bird Sect.

“These two are sparring intentionally…”

“The first lesson for entering the elite class? To showcase the power of the Fierce Bird Sect?”

Bai Xiao speculated quietly.

What he thought was very close to the truth.

The sparring session of the two official Fierce Bird Sect Disciples successfully captured the attention of everyone present. Many excitedly asked what this martial art was and if they would be learning it next.

The two answered some questions and left some unanswered.

The parts they did not disclose were all consistent.

“Classes officially start tomorrow, then you’ll know,” they’d say.

At ten past four in the afternoon, everything ended.

Zhang Hongtao led Bai Xiao away from the training ground, heading towards the exit of the training base. Halfway there, Bai Xiao encountered Zhou Bing and Kang Li, nodded to them, and then left the base to join their respective coaches in their cars.

The car had just started and had not yet moved forward.

Zhang Hongtao spoke up, “Bai Xiao, I’ll take you home.”

“Give me the address, and I’ll navigate there,” said Zhang Hongtao.

“Thanks, Coach,” replied Bai Xiao, quickly giving his address.

“The university town, right? That’s quite close from here. Your home seems to be closer to here than the White Bird Martial Arts Hall.”

Zhang Hongtao noted as he looked at the navigator.

The off-road vehicle slowly made a U-turn and then headed towards the Sunshine District.

“Bai Xiao, do not be lax going forward, exert your full strength,” Zhang Hongtao advised solemnly, his expression showing some nostalgia. It seemed like he, too, had stories from his youth.

“I understand,” Bai Xiao replied.

Bai Xiao replied silently, but his heart had never wavered.

If you have the chance to change your life, why not strive for it?

You deserve to be a loser for life!

He had never entertained thoughts of neglect or disdain, nor would he ever.

Silently, Bai Xiao turned on his phone, where messages were flooding in.

It was from the boxing club group, where members were actively chatting. The conversation revealed that they were students from other branches of the White Bird Branch who had successfully made it into the elite class. In the chat logs, Bai Xiao also saw Zhou Bing and Kang Li; everyone was discussing the elite class.

With a quick glance, Bai Xiao noticed some names that were frequently mentioned.

“Wang Sheng,” “Gu Xing,” “Chu Du.”

They were the exceptionally gifted from various branches.

Like a crane standing among chickens, exceedingly prominent.

Among them, Bai Xiao took an extra look at the name Chu Du. It seemed from the chat logs that someone had mentioned that Chu Du and Chu Ming were brothers.

Less than ten minutes later, Zhang Hongtao’s SUV stopped at the entrance of the community.

After thanking him, Bai Xiao got out of the car and walked into the Sunshine District.

Bypassing a group of old men playing chess in the shade of the garden, he climbed the stairs, stomping up to his rented apartment floor.

Closing the door behind him, Bai Xiao opened the curtains to let sunshine pour in.

At the window, he took a deep breath of fresh air.

In his mind, he recalled the combative scenes of two Fierce Bird Sect Disciples, powerful in every move and strike. One claw could gouge out chunks from a tree trunk!

“This is exactly what I’m looking for,” he muttered.

Bai Xiao slowly turned around, a certain desire rapidly consolidating in his eyes.

Led by this excitement, he fiercely added forty minutes to his Combat Skill training. He did not stop for a moment or even pause to catch his breath, until he was drenched in sweat and steam was rising from his head.

In the living room, Bai Xiao, half-sitting on the ground, forced himself to stand up.

He raised his right hand to wipe the soybean-sized sweat from his face upward.

His short, damp hair was slicked back into an imposing pompadour. Only a tuft of black hair above his right eye fell, resting on his brows, adding a sharp and handsome look.

“Refreshing!” he exclaimed.

[Your attribute ‘Will’ +0.1!]

[Will: 12.3→12.4]

When you put in your utmost effort and receive instant, visible feedback, it’s an incredibly affirming experience—a positive feedback!

Encouraged by this positive reinforcement.

The second full effort, and even the third, will be on their way.

After a quick shower and changing his clothes, Bai Xiao quickly descended the stairs to start his day as a delivery man.

By 8:30 PM, his work was over.

[Your job ‘Delivery Man,’ experience +12]

[Your job skill ‘Electric Scooter Driving,’ experience +16]

[Your job skill ‘City Route Mastery,’ experience +16]

After a short rest, he continued to the bar to work as a security guard.

During the shift, a few incidents occurred.

Typically, at around midnight, a customer in a booth started cursing. Bai Xiao stepped forward and stopped the dispute.

However, coincidentally at 1 AM, another customer at the Sakura Bird Bar, who was inebriated, began to act crazily, grabbing bottles and assaulting people like a mad dog. Ordinary people couldn’t get close to him.

Two security guards approached, receiving several bruises on their arms.

Finally, Bai Xiao swiftly moved in, swiftly snatching the two bottles and subdued the attacker with overwhelming strength through a flip and pin maneuver.

This time, the security department directly awarded him eight hundred in cash.

However, after finishing work, Bai Xiao wasn’t particularly concerned about the money.

What pleased him the most was that, after once again fulfilling his duties as a security guard, he had earned an exceptionally large amount of job and skill experience today!

So much so, that it far exceeded any previous times…
