Chapter 51: Chapter 41: The Feint

Yang Yilong’s silence meant he agreed with Li Yi’s method.

"President Yang, that’s settled then, I’m going to start the demonstration. But before that, I need to tell you about the origins of this boxing technique."

Seeing this, Li Yi immediately started to speak and at the same time walked over to pick up a solid wooden board from the ground.

"This boxing technique is something I learned on Ghost Street. At that time, I broke into the extremely dangerous Ghost Street in order to evade Fierce Beast’s pursuit, and there I saw someone, maybe that person was a fierce ghost, I’m not sure. That person was standing in a corner in a strange posture, then practicing boxing."

"After watching for a moment, I remembered his boxing stance and the way he punched and thus learned this boxing technique. However, I can’t guarantee that what I learned is complete. I was short on time and my comprehension wasn’t high, so there wasn’t much I could understand."

Li Yi began to blather.

His boxing was legitimately learned from a master, how could he hand it over just because President Yang said so?

But being under someone’s roof, he had no choice but to bow his head. He couldn’t afford to offend this Yang Yilong, so he could only try to muddle through. If he refused today, he probably wouldn’t make it out of this basement alive; he dared not gamble his life on another’s character.

"President Yang, I will slow down as much as possible, you watch carefully."

Afterwards, Li Yi’s body slightly squatted, taking up the boxing stance.

But he adjusted his body, some parts tensed up ready to exert force, and some parts relaxed, showing an incomplete version.

The complete boxing stance was the essence of this technique. If Yang Yilong learned the boxing stance, given his talent, he truly might learn it all.

However, Yang Yilong didn’t know Li Yi was concealing his skill, and he hurriedly closed the distance, observing intently.

Even under the light, his eyes shone brilliantly at this moment, seemingly trying to memorize every move Li Yi made.

Li Yi at this point took a deep breath.

His body began to exert force.

Even without using all his strength, with his current power he could still produce Fist Power, just not very powerful. But since he was practicing on a wooden board, not the Fierce Beast, the strength didn’t really matter.

The next moment, the wooden board flew out.

Li Yi punched out.

"Bang!"

The air seemed to explode.

Li Yi’s punch struck the wooden board heavily as it hung in midair.

Something strange happened.

The struck wooden board didn’t crack or fly away; instead, it stuck to Li Yi’s fist.

"Good boxing technique," Yang Yilong couldn’t help but exclaim, as he also discerned some of the secrets within.

Such a fist, if it hit a person, would blast them with a single punch. The force couldn’t be dissipated. This was a boxing technique evolved specifically for combat, extremely precious.

The Cultivation world now craved such Techniques greatly.

Li Yi slowly retracted his boxing stance and then took the wooden board off his fist.

A clear Fist Mark was imprinted upon it.

"President Yang, this is the punch I’ve executed. Unfortunately, I was too busy running away on Ghost Street to complete learning this technique, so I’m still exploring and making progress," Li Yi said regretfully.

"If President Yang has the opportunity in the future, try going to Ghost Street to learn the full technique."

Yang Yilong immediately said, "I have understood some of it; the mystery of the punch lies in the exertion of force. That posture you just adopted was the optimal position for exerting force, which is why you had to assume a boxing stance. But once it’s thoroughly learned, it can be integrated and the boxing stance becomes irrelevant. Good, very good, Li Yi, I, Yang Yilong, owe you a favor. If you ever run into any trouble, just come to me, I won’t let you down."

"You’re too kind, President Yang, I’m just repaying a favor for a favor," Li Yi said.

"However, President Yang, I must go now. There are some matters I need to attend to at home; I can’t stay any longer. If you have any more questions later on, you can ask me and I’ll share everything I know," Li Yi said.

"I’ll see you out," said Yang Yilong.

"No need, no need. I’ll just take the elevator up, goodbye President Yang," said Li Yi, as he picked up his things and boarded the elevator.

Keep practicing, keep practicing. One day when your body breaks down, you’ll know the consequences.

With that thought, Li Yi quickly left the place, not daring to stay any longer, for fear of being forcefully detained.

Yang Yilong stood still, eyes closed, savoring the punch he had just witnessed.

Then, he mimicked Li Yi’s movements and took up a boxing stance.

After brewing for a moment, Yang Yilong threw a punch.

The rush of the fist whistled through the air.

But it made no sound.

"It seems to be a simple punch, but it’s quite difficult to learn." Yang Yilong opened his eyes and picked up the wooden board from the ground.

The fist mark was clearly visible on the board.

If he had thrown his punch just now, the board would have shattered, leaving no mark at all.

"Yilong, maybe Li Yi was holding back just now, not teaching seriously. That guy is pretty crafty, he had you cornered with just a single sentence. It wasn’t right to buy, nor to take by force, and in the end you were fooled. If it were me, I wouldn’t let him go without learning the techniques, even if it meant resorting to some measures. If you can’t do it, I will."

Suddenly, a steady voice rang out, and a middle-aged man, dressed in a black suit, strongly built, appeared on the training ground.

He was Yang Ye, Yang Yilong’s uncle.

"We can’t act without evidence; it’s not like we could do what Li Yi said, to kill him and take the money back. We are people of status and position, not bandits or robbers," Yang Yilong said calmly. "We have to have principles in life and business; Li Yi agreed to a compromise, and we have to give him face. Let him leave."

"Besides, learning the art itself requires talent. The punch he demonstrated earlier left a fist mark. I’ve looked at that mark, and it’s exactly the same as the one on Biao’s corpse, without the slightest difference, which shows that he got the technique right."

"Moreover, Li Yi was teaching boxing for free. If you were to detain him, wouldn’t that force a confrontation? If word got out, who would want to deal with you in the future?"

Afterward, Yang Yilong shook his head.

Yang Ye said, "That kid didn’t teach you for free because he respects you or for money, but because he had no other choice due to the situation. So, he was smart to take the initiative and teach you the boxing, making you feel uneasy, owing a favor, and in the end, you had to let him leave."

"I would have preferred to pay, but he was unwilling. However, if I were to really buy a set of boxing techniques, the price would be high, and I don’t have a lot of funds at hand right now, so him teaching for free is a good thing too, as it avoids some conflicts," Yang Yilong said calmly.

"Let it go, the man has left, and you’ve obtained the boxing technique, the goal has been achieved. Let’s consider this matter closed. Li Yi probably won’t come back again, and he must have taken note of today’s incident. But he’s a small fry, not worth worrying about. So, think about Qin Qing’s situation instead," Yang Ye said. "Just now, the various medical companies have released their treatment plans. Take a look for yourself."

After that, he walked over and handed a quote to Yang Yilong.

Plan 1: Tianhe Medical Company, Nanorepair Treatment. Quoted at 270 million. Treatment duration three months.

Plan 2: Biological Medical Company, Cloning Transplant Treatment. Quoted at 180 million. Treatment duration one year.

Plan 3: Extraordinary Medical Company, Genetic Repair Liquid Treatment. Quoted at 350 million, treatment duration one month.

"These treatment plans are all very expensive. I advise you rationally, Qin Qing is better off abandoning treatment; it’s not worth it. You don’t have a lot of cultivation funds left."

"The hunting of that extraordinary creature should be able to cover the medical expenses for this time," Yang Yilong said as he looked at the quotation in his hand and frowned.

Yang Ye said, "If the money from hunting the extraordinary creature is used for your cultivation, you can continue to improve your strength. But if you spend it on that woman, your cultivation will have to stop. Yilong, remember, this world is no longer safe to stay in for long. If you do not become a Cross-border, it’s all empty talk."

"I know you value loyalty, so my advice is, proceed with conservative treatment for now. Once you grow stronger in the future, treating Qin Qing will be a piece of cake for you, and it will not affect your cultivation, benefiting both causes."

"I believe Qin Qing will understand, she’s willing to wait for you."

"After all, she’s always loved you deeply, hasn’t she?"

"Enough, no more,"

Yang Yilong shouted angrily, his voice shattering the lights around him as they broke apart in unison, and his body emanated a white light, appearing like serpentine bolts of lightning.

Yang Ye’s expression changed slightly, and he dared not speak further; he immediately turned and left.

But in the end, a smile crept onto his lips.

Anger is a good sign.

At least there was consideration.

Yang Yilong is still too young, he’ll understand later.

We of the Yang Family are all businessmen after all.
