Chapter 112: Chapter 89: Coach, I Want to Learn Boxing

"What was that for?"

Zhou Yuan felt even more puzzled.

Chen Guangxi couldn’t hold it in any longer: "You, a Holy Crow Church follower, aren’t clear on what the Holy Crow Church is really like?"

"I was always on the fringes before, didn’t mingle with many followers." Zhou Yuan spread his hands.

"Anyway, the Holy Crow Church has a rotten reputation in the underworld. Everyone agrees that the people from the Holy Crow Church are a cancer. Among ten extraordinary people, you can find two or three who have beef with the Holy Crow Church. That’s already considered a lot.

Of course, this beef isn’t a life-or-death grudge but more of a ’beat them up on sight’ kind of grudge.

That roast chicken witch, Mi Qi, had beef with the Holy Crow Church."

"Mi Qi? What kind of beef?" Zhou Yuan asked curiously.

"It’s said that during a friendly match, as soon as they got in, the Holy Crow Church member grinned and said he had AIDS and syphilis, scaring Mi Qi half to death. But they were in a rather compromising position, so no matter how Mi Qi struggled, she couldn’t break free. The guy, on the other hand, was having a great time, shouting like a lunatic that he was a cowboy.

Afterwards, the guy confessed he was lying and asked Mi Qi if she found it thrilling..."

"Psychopath." Zhou Yuan was dumbfounded.

"After that, Mi Qi blacklisted the Holy Crow Church."

Chen Guangxi thought for a moment. "Apparently, a lot of witches don’t take jobs from the Holy Crow Church anymore, not even for double the pay, saying they’re all a bunch of perverts.

Hmm... I remember a witch saying that once during a friendly match, a Holy Crow Church member insisted on sitting in a wheelchair cosplaying as Hawking, developing black hole no-hair theorem, and demanded she solve equations on the blackboard without wearing anything.

Oh, and there was another one, who wanted the witch to cosplay as Hillary while he cosplayed as Biden..."

"What the hell is wrong with these freaks?" Zhou Yuan couldn’t hold it in any longer. Were all Holy Crow Church members this perverted? Was it still too late to quit?

Thinking of all these things, Chen Guangxi gave him a strange look: "You wouldn’t be like that too, would you?"

"My XP system is quite normal."

Zhou Yuan declared righteously, "I’m nothing like that bunch of freaks!"

"You better not be."

Chen Guangxi continued, "Besides that, the Holy Crow Church loves to stir up trouble. They flock to wherever there’s drama. I can’t even finish talking about all their deeds. Check the forum when you have time; there are always people posting rating threads, rating the Holy Crow Church’s various vicious deeds.

A lot of people call you guys shit-stirrers... That bunch isn’t smart either. If you’re shit-stirrers, what are they?"

Zhou Yuan scratched the back of his head. Hearing Chen Guangxi say this, he felt he should probably keep his identity as Raven’s chosen hidden, to avoid getting beaten up.

"If you have nothing else, you should get discharged. We’ve earned merits from this task; the higher-ups awarded you 30 million." Chen Guangxi said.

"How much?"

Zhou Yuan’s eyes instantly turned into "$$."

"Thirty million. And that’s just in cash. There’s a whole year’s worth of cultivation resources too.

Moreover, apart from the Control Bureau, the forces of those extraordinary people you saved also sent thank-you letters and gifts. I counted, and the gifts alone summed up to over 20 million."

Zhou Yuan flopped back onto the bed, his whole body going limp. He had never seen so much money in his life!

"Feels like the hard times are finally over."

Seeing him like this, Chen Guangxi couldn’t help but smile, feeling genuinely happy for him. This poor kid had finally reached the pinnacle of life.

After a long while, Zhou Yuan sat up again: "Guangxi, I have a favor to ask."

Chen Guangxi hesitated: "Not interested."

"It’s not that."

Zhou Yuan looked at her seriously, "Coach, I want to learn martial arts."

"?"

Chen Guangxi raised an eyebrow in confusion, "If you want to learn boxing, go check Weibo or Little Red Book. Why come to me?"

"Not that kind of boxing. I want to learn some martial arts cultivation techniques."

Zhou Yuan rubbed his chest, as if feeling phantom pain, "To be honest, I got beaten pretty badly by Yan Sheng in that fight. I need to shore up my weak points.

Right now, I’m a pure glass cannon: high attack power but fragile. Although I can use shadow clones to dodge skills, as long as I get locked onto or engaged in close combat, the outcome is tragic."

"Oh, I get it."

Chen Guangxi nodded, "You want to evolve from a funny dart thrower to a terrifying dart thrower, huh?

It’s simple. You’ve come to the right dragon. I have customized courses. I’ll give you a friend’s price: thirty million, and I’ll ensure you get clear, thorough service, thirty days for a quick horizontal training."

"?"

Zhou Yuan blinked, acting cute, "Sis, given our relationship, you’re still charging me?"

"Even close brothers settle accounts clearly. Besides, I’m very expensive.

Do you think there are many Martial Arts Grandmasters willing to give you one-on-one customized courses? Look into their fees, and you’ll see just how merciful I am.

After all, I’m a virtuous dragon, not a greedy human."

"..."

Seeing Chen Guangxi’s firm attitude, Zhou Yuan could only open his eyes wide and clasp his hands together in a pitiful plea, "Please give me a discount. I’ll do anything."

"Then get a membership card first." Chen Guangxi picked at her ear, indifferent to his pleas.

"Good sister, how about a discount? I’ll serve you tea and water for a whole month, won’t that work?"

"Get a membership card first, and everything’s negotiable."

"Come on, with so much money, do you still care about this thirty million? It’s like a hair to you." Zhou Yuan was exasperated.

"Who would ever think they have too much money? And I’m a dragon; which dragon doesn’t love money?" Chen Guangxi said matter-of-factly.

Zhou Yuan gritted his teeth: "Fine, but I want to try it out first."

"No problem."

Chen Guangxi grinned, yanking him off the bed immediately, "There’s no time like the present. Let’s get started now."

"Wait a minute, I just woke up. Give me some time."

"Time is gold! Don’t waste it!"

"Let me go to the bathroom first. I haven’t gone in over a week..."

"...Oh."

—

After completing the discharge procedures, Zhou Yuan was dragged to the training ground by Chen Guangxi.

"Even though you got quite a few martial arts manuals from Yan Sheng, they aren’t very suitable for you. I have better ones, so don’t bother with those." Chen Guangxi said, "Your main problem now is that you’re too fragile, so it’s best to primarily focus on horizontal training martial arts to temper your physical body.

Punching techniques and saber techniques are ultimately ways to use power combined with some skills. You don’t really need to practice them deliberately. If you master body refinement martial arts, you’ll naturally understand the way to use your power, and in turn, master punching and saber techniques.

I’m going to teach you my self-created Martial Arts Scripture, a supreme secret technique. There’s only one in the whole world. Many people dream of learning it but can’t."

"Is it that awesome? What’s it called?" Zhou Yuan’s eyes gleamed.

"True Dragon Body."

"Uh... Doesn’t sound very impressive."

"Damn, it isn’t impressive?" Chen Guangxi emphasized, "True Dragon! True Dragon!!"

"Once you’ve mastered it, your physical body will be comparable to— me."
