Chapter 276 - Hold On and Don’t Lose it (1/2)

Meng Fan wasn’t worried about Wu Ji ambushing him during training. He just wasn’t interested. Learning here was for the trip to Singapore. It would be ridiculous if he really tried to become a fighter. He didn’t like to abuse people or be abused, nor did he have a strong desire for fighting.

Yang Feng asked a few more questions, even giving some attractive bonuses. Of course, they were only appealing to people in the fighting world and not tempting to Meng Fan at all.

After confirming Meng Fan’s lack of interest in this area, and remembering how much he wanted to study quickly, Yang Feng guessed that Meng Fan really just wanted to learn some techniques. He gave up on his persuasion and went to talk to Wu Ji.

“So what if he doesn’t want to learn!”

Wu Ji retorted, but he did feel wistful. Meng Fan was annoying, but he was really built for this sport.

Then he thought, it’s good that Meng Fan didn’t want to learn. This way, he wouldn’t have to worry about the kid showing him up.

Meanwhile, Lao Hei was feeling even more upset than Wu Ji.

Master Meng, if you don’t want to be a fighter, why did you throw me this hard?

You practiced this much with me just to see me tap out?

For the whole morning, Meng Fan didn’t rest at all. He worked so hard, as if he was trying to become a professional athlete.

After a break for lunch, he continued to practice. He kept fighting until five in the afternoon.

Even Lao Hei, a very durable fighter, had trouble enduring this regimen, even with breaks. He had to call up three other strong coaches to substitute him for three “half-hours.”

After a whole day of practicing for almost seven hours, other than the debacle with Wu Ji and the three substitute coaches, which were less efficient, all training done with Lao Hei was very productive. Every hour produced over 100 points of “snatching” skills, and around five o’clock, he got the [Thousand Hand Snatch].

In the next twenty minutes, Meng Fan was using Lao Hei to familiarize himself with 10 new points in his snatching technique.

The 10 points in Wrestling Techniques were pretty comprehensive, including almost all of the snatching techniques, some of which Meng Fan knew and some he didn’t. Currently, Meng Fan has become familiar with what he’s learned and the extended lessons, and turned the knowledge into his own ability.

There’s quite a bit left for which Meng Fan had gained theoretical knowledge. But with no practice, he hasn’t transformed them into his own ability yet.

It wasn’t difficult to transform them, he just needed to practice with Lao Hei on the theories. There’s not enough time today, so Meng Fan decided to stop for now.

The new +3 in Hand Speed was easy to transform, or hardly needed to be transformed. He just needed to be familiar with it.

Finishing the [Thousand Hand Snatch] task was a lot faster than Meng Fan anticipated. This was thanks to the very resistant Lao Hei. If it was anyone else, it’d take at least another day or two.

But Meng Fan didn’t gain any experience with [Wrestling Competition] today. He knew how to do takedowns but had no other wrestling techniques, it wasn’t enough to overpower others.

If he didn’t run into Wu Ji, he would definitely come back tomorrow to learn dominating wrestling techniques from Yang Feng or Lao Hei. Now, he wasn’t so sure.

While Meng Fan shamelessly called Wu Ji Seventh Bro, he was really nervous. The future Seventh Brother-in-law was not easy to please.

Meng Fan also had a feeling that Wu Ji was Wu Tong’s actual older brother. If Wu Ji was just a cousin, they wouldn’t look so much alike.

He actually picked up his brother-in-law from the ground in front of his future wife. The scene was really awkward.

How was he going to explain everything to Wu Tong tonight?

…

“Meng Fan, first of all, I want to apologize for my brother.”

After meeting up at Waterfront Restaurant, before Meng Fan knew how to talk to Wu Tong, she spoke first. She smiled with a grimace, “My brother… he’s very direct and crude, he’s not a big thinker. He did say that you just ran into each other at the dojo, and so he treated you like a trainee. He wasn’t really going to…”

Wu Tong spread out her hands and looked resigned. “He just really wants to protect me. To him, I’m just a naive girl who knows nothing. In any case, I need to apologize for him.”

Meng Fan shook his hands. “Actually, Seventh Bro has already… apologized to me. It’s really my fault. I just heard of the rumor about me. If it was my older or younger sister’s boyfriend being rumored with others, I’d be upset too. I understand where he’s coming from.”

Wu Tong glanced at Meng Fan sideways, “Pfft, who’s your girlfriend?”

Her coquettishness mesmerized Meng Fan.

“Here, a scarf.”

Wu Tong tossed a bag at Meng Fan.

Her gesture was so light that Meng Fan could have picked it up easily. But in his stunned state, the bag landed on his face.

Wu Tong glared at Meng Fan, “Idiot!”
