Chapter 4 Boxer
Chapter 4 Boxer
In the afternoon, Ye Tian found a tavern and waited until evening.
Rewards for physical enhancement.
Ye Tian couldn't help but stretch his muscles, and crackling sounds came from his whole body.
He clenched his fist, the force of which seemed to have more than doubled compared to before.
"That's about it."
Ye Tian glanced at the darkening sky outside the tavern and walked out.
As night fell, the number of ordinary people on the streets decreased, while the number of gang members increased accordingly.
Compared to the daytime, Linshui City seemed even more lively at night. The taverns were filled with the sounds of gang members drinking and boasting, the brothels with the sounds of girls laughing and joking, and in some of the darker alleys, the sounds of gang members slashing and killing could be heard.
Ye Tian simply walked past these people in silence.
Although it wasn't the same era, this chaotic disorder felt strangely familiar to Ye Tian.
,,,
Gao Fei's house wasn't big; these gang members were always poor in the early morning and rich in the late afternoon.
They spend money like water when they're out, but they don't care at all about what kind of place they live.
Smelling the faint scent of blood in the air, Ye Tian's lips curled up, then a simple and clear smile appeared on his face as he stepped forward and pushed open the door.
"Brother Gao, I'm here!"
"Brother Gao?"
Seeing that no one responded, Ye Tian pretended to be puzzled and walked into the room.
Then they saw Gao Fei's lifeless body with his eyes wide open, and several other corpses lying around him.
You actually sent someone to ambush me? You deserve to be hacked to death.
"Brother Gao!!!"
The next moment, Ye Tian cried out in a sorrowful voice, so loud that it woke up the people in several nearby houses.
,,,
The Blackwater Gang has eight branches, and Gao Fei belongs to one of them.
"What exactly happened?"
Lei Tang was a leader under a gang. He was summoned late at night and told that one of his underlings had died. Lei Tang was extremely agitated.
Upon entering Gao Fei's house and seeing the corpse inside, his anger intensified.
"Who did this?"
Besides the burly men who came with Lei Tang, several of Gao Fei's henchmen from the teahouse were also called over.
"this..."
The group looked at each other, completely bewildered, wondering how a perfectly healthy person could have died.
"Some thief must have killed Brother Gao."
Do you even need to tell me that?
Lei Tang looked at Ye Tian, who was speaking, and frowned.
"And who are you?"
The thugs wanted to speak, but Ye Tian spoke first.
"My name is Ye Tian, and I am a registered member of the Blackwater Gang."
As he spoke, Ye Tian took out the Blackwater Gang's waist token.
"Brother Gao asked me to come here tonight, saying that he would make me a formal member of the Blackwater Gang. I just didn't expect that I would see Brother Lei and the others meet with misfortune as soon as I arrived. It's all my fault. If I had come earlier, I could have helped Brother Gao and the others."
So many people are already dead, what use is one more of you?
But Lei Tang didn't say that directly; instead, he looked at the thugs.
"is that so?"
"Well!"
You can't just say directly that Gao Fei sent Ye Tian over to kill him and rob him, can you? In the Blackwater Gang, infighting among fellow members can be brutal.
"That's true, but..."
"Brother Gao said he admired me. Little did I know that our parting that day would be our last."
"..."
No, you actually believe and admire people like that?
The thugs who had been interrupted looked at each other in bewilderment.
Lei Tang was unaware of the intricacies involved. Seeing that Ye Tian was indeed a disciple of the Blackwater Gang and was admired by Gao Fei, who said he would be promoted to a formal member, Lei Tang's expression softened considerably.
"If you have the ability, why not promote you to a full member?"
"Is it really possible?"
Ye Tian looked up with a surprised expression.
"I have studied Iron Wire Fist for a few years. If Boss Lei doesn't mind, I am willing to become Boss Lei's elder brother and avenge Brother Gao."
Lei Tang was quite satisfied with this attitude of prioritizing loyalty, but Ye Tian's words piqued his interest.
"You've studied boxing for a few years?"
Although I've never heard of Iron Wire Fist, those who have practiced martial arts are all considered talents in their gang.
"Yeah, I studied for a few years, so I can easily take on three to five people on a regular basis."
Ye Tian spoke modestly, but his words caused the people around him to look at him sideways.
"Oh?"
Lei Tang became interested.
"Wang Hu, go and give it a try."
He glanced sideways at the burly man beside him.
This is the most skilled boxer I have around; his Pi Gua Palm technique is incredibly advanced.
"good!"
"Uh." The thugs who were with Gao Fei opened their mouths, but for a moment they didn't know what to say.
Gao Fei is still lying there. Is it really a good idea to test his skills at this time?
Seeing that Lei Tang was intrigued, none of them dared to say anything more.
"If you can last ten rounds, I will not only make you a full member, but also a boxer in my Blackwater Gang."
Not only the Blackwater Gang, but many such gangs in the underworld have clear hierarchical divisions.
First there are the registered members, then the official members, but above the official members are the strongmen. Gao Fei and his henchmen belong to the strongmen level, and above that are the boxers.
It can be said that by taking the position of boxer, Ye Tian has successfully completed a three-level leap.
"good!"
Ye Tian's eyes lit up.
He braced his legs in a horse stance and adopted the starting posture of Iron Wire Fist. His opponent was about as strong as Wei Wu and the others, and also adopted a starting posture that Ye Tian had never seen before.
"Be careful."
It was clear that the other party was very confident, and their words didn't suggest they thought they would lose.
During the exchange, Ye Tian immediately turned to the side and swung his arm at Wang Hu. With just a touch, Wang Hu's nonchalant expression changed.
That was a lot of force!
If Iron Wire Fist is combined with iron rings on the arms, then splitting rocks and breaking gold is a piece of cake.
Although Ye Tian doesn't have the iron ring right now, his enhanced physique gives him strength far exceeding that of ordinary people.
"Again!"
The other person was also someone who had practiced martial arts since childhood, and for a moment, he was tempted to fight, so his movements became even more fierce.
In contrast, Ye Tian responded to each move with ease.
Iron Wire Fist belongs to Southern Fist, a high-level internal martial art that combines both hardness and softness.
Seeing that Ye Tian was able to fight on equal terms with the strongest boxer beside him, Lei Tang's expression completely changed. His bad mood, which had been suddenly pulled into this situation, turned into surprise and delight.
If I hadn't come here, how could I have met such a treasure?
Although he possessed the Iron Wire Fist technique at its peak, this was the first time he had actually used it in a real fight. Ye Tian fought faster and faster, and his movements became increasingly skilled and fluid.
From the initial back-and-forth exchanges, there were later signs of a gradual suppression.
"That's about it."
Seeing that Wang Hu's face was turning somewhat pale, Ye Tian knew that the time was almost right.
After exchanging punches again, Ye Tian took two steps back and cupped his hands in greeting.
"Master Wang is indeed formidable, but I have been weak since childhood and simply do not have the strength to continue fighting."
