Chapter 84: Senior Sister Bai's Invitation
Chapter 84: Senior Sister Bai's Invitation
After passing through the alley, he made his way to the second floor of the martial arts academy.
"Good morning, Jiang Cheng," Lin Quanliang greeted with a smile.
"Good morning, Senior Brother Lin," Jiang Cheng nodded back.
"Hey, Lin Shixiong, do you want to spar again later?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"I was just about to say that I'd be delighted to have you as my sparring partner," Lin Quanliang laughed even louder.
It seemed that he had just arrived and was stretching his muscles.
Jiang Cheng also put away his short stick and began practicing his soft martial arts.
It was no surprise that Wei Bao's death would cause a stir, but as long as he didn't give anything away, no one would know that he was the one who had done it.
Therefore, he just needed to maintain his composure, practice at the martial arts academy as usual, and set up his stall on the street when it was time.
After thoroughly stretching their muscles, the two put on their protective gear and began sparring.
After nearly ten minutes of sparring, Jiang Cheng looked at the experience points that had barely increased on the panel and sighed inwardly.
Yesterday, when he sparred with Lin Quanliang for such a long time, he gained experience points, sometimes two or three at a time, but now there was only one.
At this rate, it would take 500 hours to earn 3000 experience points, assuming a rate of one experience point every ten minutes.
Without eating or drinking, it would take more than 20 days to improve his double stick skill to the Great Proficiency level.
However, if he practiced alone, it might take even longer.
Unless he increased the difficulty or sparred with stronger opponents, he couldn't improve his speed.
After another ten minutes, Lin Quanliang was exhausted and panting, waving his hand, "No more, no more, Jiang Cheng, I feel like your stick technique has improved?"
"Really?"
Jiang Cheng's face showed surprise, "Why do you think so, Senior Brother Lin?"
"I'm not quite sure."
Lin Quanliang scratched his head, "It's just a feeling."
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but laugh.
At that moment, the martial arts academy gradually became livelier.
Members on the second floor also began to arrive one after another.
"Jiang Cheng, let me warm up a bit, and then we can spar," Tan Lei said as he walked over.
"Sure."
Jiang Cheng agreed with a smile.
Building a good relationship with him would likely get him some discounts at his restaurant later.
Of course, he wasn't the type to freeload, especially now that he had some money.
As the time approached nine o'clock, the gazes of several male members kept turning towards the staircase.
Soon after, a beautiful figure descended the stairs, wearing a white training uniform, with a slender figure and long hair tied into a ponytail, exuding a sense of freshness and competence.
"Senior Sister Bai!"
"Senior Sister Bai!"
Everyone immediately became spirited.
Jiang Cheng and Tan Lei, who were sparring nearby, also paused to greet her.
"No need to be so polite, just do what you need to do," Bai Wei smiled, her eyes first falling on Jiang Cheng, "Jiang Cheng, I've heard that your stick technique is impressive. Today, I finally have the chance to spar with you?"
As her words fell, everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Cheng.
If Bai Wei had occasionally paid attention to Jiang Cheng before, everyone's hearts were now filled with admiration.
"To spar with Senior Sister Bai, I'd be more than happy to," Jiang Cheng said with a smile.
"Okay, just a moment."
Bai Wei went to the room to put on her protective gear, and when she came out, she was holding two wooden swords in her hands.
Seeing Jiang Cheng's daze, she smiled.
"I heard that Jiang Cheng uses double sticks. Coincidentally, I also know how to use double blades."
Jiang Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly.
In his heart, he knew that sparring with Bai Wei would be just as challenging as with Zeng Shixu, if not more.
Soon, this fact was proven.
Bai Wei's twin blades formed an impenetrable defense, and Jiang Cheng's sudden attacks were all in vain. His offense was like a fierce storm, leaving Jiang Cheng breathless.
The onlookers nearby were left in awe, their eyes glued to the intense battle.
Even the arrival of someone nearby went unnoticed.
Xiao Yuanqing's face darkened as he stared at the scene before him.
When he saw the joy on Bai Wei's face, his expression grew even gloomier, as if water was about to drip from his face.
After a few minutes, Jiang Cheng, having sustained several cuts, conceded defeat.
"Senior Sister Bai, I lost," Jiang Cheng said with a bitter smile.
"Hehe, not bad, Junior Brother Jiang," Bai Wei replied.
Bai Wei sheathed her twin blades and asked, "When did you reach the Expert Level with your double sticks? I checked yesterday, and it seemed like you were just a bit short."
"Senior Sister Bai has sharp eyes. I reached that level last night," Jiang Cheng answered.
Jiang Cheng wasn't too surprised, as after such a prolonged fight, his skill level couldn't have escaped his opponent's notice.
The others nearby were astonished.
Had Junior Brother Jiang's stick technique reached the Expert Level?
Even their own martial arts skills hadn't reached the Proficient level yet.
The most surprised of them all was Lin Quan Liang.
He never expected that his morning's intuition was spot on.
"I see," Lin Quan Liang nodded.
"It seems Junior Brother Jiang is a promising talent. Let's take a short break, and we can spar again later?" Bai Wei suggested.
"Sure," Jiang Cheng readily agreed, his peripheral vision catching a glimpse of Xiao Yuanqing not far away.
Despite sparring with Bai Wei for less than ten minutes, Jiang Cheng's experience points had increased by nearly one point per minute.
If he could continue sparring with Bai Wei, he could achieve Great Proficiency in double sticks within 50 hours.
Of course, achieving this was no easy feat. Bai Wei had her own affairs to attend to, and he could only spar with her every three days.
Additionally, his stamina couldn't withstand too many bouts, so Jiang Cheng cherished each opportunity.
Xiao Senior Apprentice Brother's expression soured as he watched.
Bai Wei had noticed Xiao Yuanqing's arrival but didn't bother to glance at him. Instead, she looked at the others, "Who else wants to give it a try?"
"Me!"
"Me, me, me!"
Several people rushed forward, eager to take their turns.
"I'll go first!"
"No, I was the first one!"
"I should be the one, right?"
Bai Wei couldn't help but laugh at the commotion. She randomly pointed at one of them, and the rest left dejectedly.
As the atmosphere on the second floor grew lively with laughter, in the slum area, the courtyard where Jiang Xiong resided was filled with gloom.
The scattered corpses, including the two Jiang Cheng had dragged into the alley, were now arranged in the courtyard, segregated into two groups.
On the left were Wei Bao and his group, with eight or nine bodies laid out neatly.
On the right were Jiang Xiong's five men, and their bodies were arranged haphazardly.
Two or three people were kneeling beside Wei Bao's lifeless body, wailing and lamenting, their hearts filled with both sorrow and relief.
They were Wei Bao's underlings who had escaped the previous night's incident due to other engagements. If they had been there, another corpse would likely have joined the group.
Aside from them, there were another twenty or thirty people standing around, gazing at the corpses on the ground. Their hearts were filled less with anger and more with sadness and fear.
With Wei Bao's group killed the night before, who knew if they would be next?
Just then, footsteps approached from outside the courtyard, indicating a group of people.
