Chapter 3: Kunpeng

The quality of such water is indeed very low, and the city can only be considered a third-tier city. In this regard, it is quite normal for the average quality to be low. If the standard remains at this level, based on my previous experiences, I will be able to catch up quickly.

However, one match is nothing; immediately following that match, the women's side sent in a sanda coach who was also quickly dealt with by the opponent.

A tall and slender boy walked in, with a lanky figure, pale complexion, and messy hair, dressed in the uniform of the Third Middle School. He wore a pair of white sneakers that appeared somewhat out of style. However, judging by the boy's calm and composed expression, it was likely that he was completely unaware of how striking his appearance was to the young female staff member.

I apologize for the interruption

This boy is Lin Fei. After wandering for half a day, he finally found this jewelry store at the street corner. However, the outcome he learned was unexpected for Lin Fei. Originally, he only intended to inquire about the price and then return home, as saving money should have a goal, right? But now...

He did not continue reading and quietly withdrew.

Lin Fei walked to the edge of the building entrance, where there was an advertising display case. One of the advertisement posters caught his attention

With a thud, the burly man collapsed to the ground, clutching his waist and wailing in agony

The tall man had a grim expression and was about to kick a few times when he suddenly felt a twinge in his waist. Urged on by his companions, he cursed loudly a few times, spat on the ground, and continued upstairs

This technique of exertion is quite harmful; while it injures the opponent, it also inflicts damage on oneself. Of course, this is due to Lin Fei's current lack of physical fitness. If his physical reactions had been quicker just now, he could have evaded the opponent's attack in an instant and then delivered a side kick, similar to that woman. He could have defeated the opponent without sustaining any injuries. However, at present, he possesses only professional-level combat awareness, while his physical fitness is still lacking.

Indeed, it seems he has been challenged. Fortunately, he is relatively tall and carefully avoided a few burly men with their arms crossed and dragon tattoos on their hands, finding a better position to look towards the arena. Although his physical condition is currently poor, the fighting skills from his past life remain, and he could still take down a couple of those strong men. However, those who can enter this place should have some skills, so it is best to avoid any conflict.

"To visit the training, please go to the second floor. If you need to enroll, please register here first." The receptionist wore a formulaic smile, likely smiling every day, causing her facial muscles to become stiff.

In a long corridor, some rooms on either side are closed while others are open, with shouts occasionally emanating from within, accompanied by the sound of rapid strikes. Several burly men, draped in towels and constantly wiping sweat, emerge from the rooms; some are clad in pristine white taekwondo uniforms, while others are bare-chested, their muscles bulging. Lin Fei even spots one or two women inside. A few of the burly men pass by him, leaving behind a strong odor of sweat.

A loud thud. A sturdy shoulder collided forcefully with Lin Fei.

"Excuse me, do you have long swords for sale here?" The boy confidently approached the counter and spoke.

Kill her! Kill her!

"Long sword?" Although he was a customer without purchasing power, the shop assistant still managed to squeeze out a smile. "Little brother, this is a jewelry store. How could there possibly be a long sword here?"

Ding! The crisp sound of the bell rang out, signaling the start of the competition

After leaving the room, Lin Fei recalled the footwork and angles provided by the basic swordsmanship manual as he descended to the first floor. He had a rough understanding of Kunpeng's level; even if the basic swordsmanship was inadequate, he could quickly become an instructor relying on his past experience. However, upon studying the basic swordsmanship in detail, he was increasingly struck by its extreme principle: if one does not strike, one is safe; but once one strikes, one must inflict harm. Every point of attack is a critical area that severely impacts the enemy. The entire sword technique is divided into two parts: the Dead Sword and the Maimed Sword. As the names suggest, one part aims to kill the enemy, while the other aims to incapacitate them. The more he studied, the more fascinated he became. Lin Fei faintly sensed that the power of the Dead Sword might exceed his imagination.

With a rustle, the beaded curtain at the entrance was suddenly pushed aside

"Wait to become disabled, you fool!" Lin Fei cast a cold glance at the back of the burly man. Rubbing her thigh, she calmly stood up. Although she had injured some muscles from the kick exchanged with the man, her extensive study of basic sword techniques had equipped her with equally ruthless footwork, capable of inflicting harm invisibly. This technique involved a specific and peculiar method of exerting force and targeting vital points. Naturally, she had employed this technique during their earlier encounter. It seemed that Lin Fei had suffered a significant loss; however, if nothing unexpected occurred, according to the descriptions in the sword techniques, the burly man would be completely paralyzed from the waist down in three days. All nerves below the waist would be entirely incapacitated.

As she stepped through the entrance of the club, a refreshing breeze greeted her, the air conditioning set to a low temperature. The first-floor lobby was eerily quiet, and from the reception desk on the left, a beautiful receptionist sweetly welcomed her. Lin Fei felt a shiver run through her bones.

Bang! A powerful kick from the man struck Lin Fei's leg. The two exchanged glances, and Lin Fei's face immediately turned pale. She leaned against the stair railing and squatted down, covering her thigh. It was evident that she had sustained an injury

This is a small room that is not particularly spacious, with small shelves placed on all the surrounding walls. Some exquisite silver and black ornaments are neatly arranged on them. On the left side of the room is a small counter, where a yawning salesgirl is leaning inside. She has a relatively delicate face adorned with light eyeshadow and foundation. The entire shop is filled with a refreshing scent of perfume

Bang! This kick was not delivered with the instep, but rather forcefully struck with the toes right at the waist of the burly man.

Kunpeng Martial Arts is a well-known martial arts venue in the city, offering training in Sanda, combat, boxing, Taekwondo, and self-defense techniques. It also provides a comprehensive training facility and equipment. However, it is unclear whether swordsmanship training is available.

Damn it! Lin Fei was even more furious, turning around and kicking out. Just as she was interrupted at a critical moment, her anger flared up. Without thinking, she kicked out, just like in her previous life. Usually calm, but once interrupted while focusing on something, her temper would become uncontrollable.

How dare these women step into the ring! And as for the Kunpeng, it should be renamed to little bird! Hahaha ... ...

The entire venue fell silent. Clearly, no one expected this woman to be so fierce, instantly defeating her opponent. Such a level of skill was roughly equivalent to a professional standard in Lin Fei's previous life.

Lin Fei nodded and went up to the second floor

"Don't let me see you again, you bastard!" the big man cursed as he went upstairs. The other trainees coming and going seemed accustomed to such occurrences and paid little attention.

Heavy pounding sounds continuously emanated from the high platform

Let's go in and take a look first

Have you seen it? The shop assistant hesitated for a moment and said, "Oh, you are referring to that Western knife, right? That is a collection piece of our store owner, and it was taken back recently. It is a non-sale decorative item"

The tranquil piano piece resonates in the air like a gentle stream, while the hum of the air conditioner is amplified significantly in this environment

Go, Anying! Go, Anying!

The man suddenly launched a powerful punch towards the woman's head. The woman deftly sidestepped, twisting on her toes, and executed a low whip kick in one fluid motion

It is time to exercise more. Lin Fei walked out of Kunpeng Martial Arts with an unhappy expression

If basic swordsmanship is truly formidable, perhaps... He understood that when a martial arts school urgently hires, it is certainly due to pressing needs, possibly arising from special circumstances, such as a sign being damaged. In profit-oriented establishments like martial arts schools, it is generally necessary to have one or two instructors stationed to oversee the venue. These instructors typically do not come into play unless someone challenges them directly; they must possess genuine skills and be capable of maintaining order. In his previous life, he had also participated in training at a martial arts association and encountered an incident where someone attempted to challenge the school. In such profit-driven venues, it is common to have one or two instructors on standby. These instructors usually remain absent until a challenger arrives, and they must have real talent to handle the situation. During his previous life, he had participated in training at a martial arts association and had once experienced a challenge. All the coaches in the association were defeated, and finally, a tough individual emerged, swiftly knocking the challenger to the ground. This person had never been seen in the association before; it was only during that incident that he learned the general rules of such organizations.

The shop assistant's smile, which had just begun to blossom, immediately faded upon realizing that the customer was an unsophisticated high school student. As a staff member in a store selling expensive mithril jewelry, she encountered few customers each day, but she could easily discern that those with purchasing power would certainly not be ordinary, unsophisticated students like this one

"Damn you!" The burly man who had been hit was about to go upstairs, and suddenly furious, he turned around on the stairs and kicked Lin Fei.

Are you the owner of the store? The boy was taken aback

As Lin Fei walked cautiously along the corridor, she peered from the outside in. Eventually, she entered a large room filled with the sounds of applause. The room was densely packed with people, equivalent in size to an indoor sports arena, and was likely the largest training facility in the entire building. Over a hundred individuals surrounded a raised platform in the center, resembling a boxing ring, whistling, cursing, and cheering, all blending into a cacophony of noise.

Indeed, the owner of our store is the boss of the Kunpeng Martial Arts across the street

But I have seen it before when I came here

It is nothing

On the spacious arena, a woman dressed in a black tight-fitting training suit is intently facing a bald man with his upper body bare. Neither party is wearing any protective gear, indicating that this is a genuine fight. Moreover, it has only just begun.

Kunpeng Martial Arts? The boy turned his head to look out through the transparent bead curtain at the entrance. Across the street, on the second floor of the building, there was a large advertisement with the four characters "Kunpeng Martial Arts" written in a flamboyant style, extremely eye-catching

The woman had a beautiful face, gazing indifferently at her opponent. Her figure was exquisite, and her skin reflected an ivory-like sheen under the indoor lighting, clearly well-maintained. In contrast, the burly man, her opponent, wore a lewd grin, his eyes constantly scanning the woman's figure.

Why are you still holding on? It would be better for the entire Kunpeng to close early!

Amidst a cacophony of mixed sounds, Lin Fei barely discerned some information

Recruitment Announcement – Kunpeng Martial Arts urgently seeks to hire 2 Muay Thai instructors, 2 swordsmanship instructors, and 1 boxing instructor. Preference will be given to those with advanced certification. The monthly salary is above 5,000. The rest of the recruitment details were directly overlooked by Lin Fei. In this era, a salary of 5,000 is undoubtedly extremely attractive

Since that is the case, I can only find some sticks to use as a substitute for now. The cost of Kunpeng Martial Arts is very high, and given my family's situation, it is completely unaffordable.
