Chapter 180 - 180 128 Qin Qilin Tan Erhu

180: Chapter 128 Qin Qilin, Tan Erhu 180: Chapter 128 Qin Qilin, Tan Erhu The Operations Department is the frontline of the Inspection Department with very high welfare benefits, only slightly inferior to the officials in General Affairs.

The entire floor of the training facility is akin to a private “large gym” dedicated to their workouts.

Downstairs, there is a laundry and shower room, and next to it, there is a supermarket and a café.

By showing the related credentials of the Operations Department, one can use these facilities for free and consume as they wish.

It’s undeniable that as the most capable arm of the Security Department, the Inspection Department indeed has ample funding in this regard.

“Mr.

Qin, have you ever contested force with anyone?”

Tan Cong looked at Qin Shi, who had lightly leaped onto the ring, silent as his feet touched the ground.

His eyes changed, filled with even greater admiration.

It’s not easy to masterfully control the body and adapt to every ounce of strength.

This requires repetitive practice and familiarization.

Not only does it involve a lot of time and effort, but one also needs to withstand loneliness and endure the monotonous process of repetition.

Even in the Old Martial Sect, those who are willing to commit to such an austere practice, solely to dominate their physique, are exceptionally rare.

“No, but my master mentioned it a few times, so I have some general understanding.”

Standing on the smooth, unprotected ring, Qin Shi took a corner as his standing point.

The so-called “contesting force” is a way of sparring in the Old Era Martial Arts World.

The practitioners in those martial arts schools and sects follow many rules and etiquettes.

For instance, stepping on the ring and fighting without restraint.

To them, signing a life-or-death agreement upon entering the ring means putting their lives on the line, with death just a fraction away.

But in daily interactions, when encountering strong opponents, it’s hard to resist the urge to contest strength and skill.

Yet, there is no enmity between them, and drawing blood and forming a grudge would be too extreme.

Thus, a relatively moderate mode of force contest evolved.

The former involves practitioners hiding their hands in their sleeves, touching and grasping to know the other’s skill level;

The latter is similar, raising arms like oxen grappling.

Releasing the internal power, they confront and grind against each other, competing in technique.

“Haha, no worries, we are just having a friendly exchange, no pressure.”

Tan Cong laughed heartily.

Obviously, this tiger of the Operations Department is a martial arts enthusiast.

“Officer Tan, please offer your guidance.”

Qin Shi was polite, imitating the traditional gesture of martial artists from the Old Era, cupping his fist in his palm.

“Come on!

Let me see how the young talents of the Old Martial Sect compare to the Qiguang Heng University students from twenty years ago!”

Tan Cong was fired up, rubbing his hands together, taking a few steps forward with his arms open in a grappling stance.

With legs forming a horse stance, his center of gravity slowly moved downward, concentrated at a point.

This is the initial position of ancient wrestling.

Qin Shi followed suit, with the balls of his feet touching the ground, knees outward, waist and hips aligned, looking straight ahead.

The distance between the two gradually closed, with a heavy thud, as their palms collided fiercely, like iron cannons being fired, causing the ring to shake!

The commotion instantly attracted the attention of other Operations Department members.

Watching the excitement seems to be a natural instinct, as they put down their equipment one after another, gathering in small groups.

They discovered the one standing on the ring was Tan Cong.

Someone couldn’t help but exclaim,

“Instructor Tan!

He’s practicing again!

Who’s unlucky enough to be tormented by him this time?”

A young man nearby frowned,

“His opponent looks very young, like a new university student?

Or a high school student?”

Everyone knew Tan Cong’s character well, never the type to bully the weak, so they were very curious.

“Qin Shi, Mr.

Qin!”

Someone recognized the young man.

It was Wei Zheguang from the Chenghua branch.

As soon as he spoke, several eyes were fixed on him.

“Old Wei, you know him?”

“What’s his background?”

“Could he possibly be so young and reckless to challenge Instructor Tan voluntarily…”

Wei Zheguang shook his head and said,

“Mr.

Qin is very formidable.

A few days ago, he disabled Niutou, smashed the head of Shezai, and caused Hui Fu’s immediate brain death… all by Mr.

Qin.

He is a senior high student, already holding a third-tier temporary certificate, a bona fide genius!”

The one who eliminated those three pests?

And still a high school student?

This is unbelievable!

The others were half-skeptical, especially upon learning that he was a student.

It was hard to imagine that the fierce person who killed Shezai could be associated with that handsome face.

As they conversed, Qin Shi and Tan Cong had already clashed a second time on the ring.

In their first collision, they were mostly testing, not using any techniques, just raw power.

“Mr.

Qin’s strength is very strong, almost reaching a body quality of fifty points in Life Force.”

Tan Cong’s expectations grew, his palm thrusting slowly, as if the air was thick and heavy.

A dense, heavy force flowed, trying to stick to Qin Shi and throw him off.

“Such a solid and heavy force, Officer Tan’s cultivated power is truly as heavy as a mountain.

If he punches down, even a ten-centimeter-thick alloy steel door would be crushed!”

Qin Shi’s palm felt slightly hot, sensing that if he got stuck, it would be hard to break free.

Thanks to Ren You’s training, he had made significant progress in force manipulation.

The force technique called “True Essence Qi” instantly followed his breath, fast and swift.

The fierce and violent power suddenly turned light and flexible, fingers feigning a grasp, palm empty, like a sea-eye swallowing turbulent waves, actually deflecting Tan Cong’s sticky force to the side!

“What an agile change!”

Tan Cong’s interest was piqued, quickly retracting his palm into a withdrawing stance, then clenching his fist and blasting like a cannon!

Bang!

The air gave a dull thunderous sound, like a solid iron ball shooting out, aiming toward Qin Shi’s middle gate.
