The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 225: Chenfeng, You Can’t Favor One Over Another
Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Chenfeng, You Can’t Favor One Over Another
Ye Dongjian felt an immense comfort within his body, just like Ye Chenfeng said, as if there was an endless supply of strength. With his power enhanced, his confidence returned. He recalled the inhuman treatment he endured from yesterday till now. Although he now knew it was indeed Ye Chenfeng’s method of training—and an effective one at that—a sense of frustration lingered within him.
With a fierce twitch of his arm, a burst of energy shot out from his body. Wearing a bright, beaming smile, Ye Dongjian said, "Chenfeng, you’ve been having quite the time since yesterday, haven’t you? Now isn’t it my turn to enjoy myself a bit?"
Now that his strength had increased, Ye Dongjian completely disregarded the fearsome power of his nephew. He stamped his feet hard, and his body shot forward like an arrow released from a bow, shouting as he lunged at Ye Chenfeng, "Chenfeng, you little rascal, today your uncle is going to teach you how to respect your elders!"
Ye Dongjian was brimming with exhilaration and unwarranted confidence. In his joy, he forgot to consider who was responsible for such a significant overnight improvement in his strength. In the eyes of Ye Chenfeng, his capabilities were no different from those of any stray cat or dog.
Ye Chenfeng stood his ground, not showing the slightest intent to dodge, and spoke indifferently, "Uncle, it looks like your confidence has swollen a bit too much. I’ve said it before; it’s virtually impossible for you to win against me in this lifetime. You’d better accept reality! Even though it’s pretty harsh."
Swinging his fists mightily, Ye Dongjian retorted unconvinced, "Chenfeng, don’t be too cocksure. First, take your uncle’s heavy punch before you talk."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Ye Dongjian’s fist was inches away from Ye Chenfeng’s chest. With a serene smile playing on his lips, Ye Chenfeng lifted his right leg gently and kicked with precision, landing squarely on Ye Dongjian’s chest. Ye Dongjian’s body flew through the air like a sack filled with rice, tracing a graceful arc before crashing heavily to the ground.
"Uncle, with your current skill, you can’t even touch the hem of my garment," Ye Chenfeng shrugged his shoulders, looking down at Ye Dongjian on the ground playfully, "The revolution is not yet successful, comrade; you must continue to strive! However, uncle, with your current strength, defeating Uncle Wu shouldn’t be a problem."
Ye Dongjian, rubbing his sore chest, rose from the ground grumbling, "Chenfeng, are you really trying to kill your uncle? And what’s with humiliating me? After all, I am your uncle. Can’t you show a little respect for your elders in my presence?"
Ye Dongjian was utterly helpless! He couldn’t beat his nephew, so he could only speak in a negotiating tone.
"Uncle, haven’t I already told you? Whenever you can beat me, I guarantee I’ll be utterly respectful in front of you," said Ye Chenfeng with a smile.
Scratching his head in distress, Ye Dongjian sighed, "Guess I’ll just give up then! Looks like I’ll have to live in your shadow for the rest of my life."
"Chenfeng, what are you and Ye Dongjian up to this early in the morning?" Wu Kunming strode into the Ye family’s villa courtyard, and upon seeing Ye Dongjian in just his underwear and looking rather disheveled, he couldn’t resist teasing, "Ye Dongjian, are you showing off your physique early in the morning? Or are you practicing some peerless martial art?"
Having just boosted his power and been kicked flying by Ye Chenfeng, Ye Dongjian was feeling quite annoyed. Wu Kunming’s timing couldn’t have been better. Today was the day Ye Dongjian was determined to have his moment to shine, as he had never once won a sparring match against Wu Kunming before!
"Big Hei Xiong, what nonsense are you babbling? Are you asking for a beating from me?" Ye Dongjian asked, twisting his arm.
"Ye Dongjian, I don’t have the time for your nonsense today; I’m here to discuss something with Chenfeng," said Wu Kunming, spreading his hands dismissively. To him, sparring with Ye Dongjian was simply not challenging. Had Ye Dongjian ever beaten him even once?
Without a second thought, Ye Dongjian charged directly at Wu Kunming, shouting, "Big Hei Xiong, today I’ll let you witness the true strength of Ye Dongjian."
"I see you’re really asking for it. Well then, I’ll indulge you," said Wu Kunming, finding no choice but to accept the fight upon seeing Ye Dongjian recklessly swinging his fists at him.
"Bang—" A loud crash.
As their fists met, Ye Dongjian and Wu Kunming both stumbled back five or six steps. Wu Kunming let out a light sound of surprise from his throat. In past encounters where they had gone head-to-head, it was always Ye Dongjian who came off worse. But just now, it seemed their strengths were evenly matched! What was going on here? Wu Kunming’s eyes slowly filled with solemnity.
Glancing at Ye Chenfeng, who stood not far away, Wu Kunming had a rough idea: "It must be the result of Chenfeng’s training that Ye Dongjian has improved his strength."
"Big Black Bear, now do you see how formidable I am? Let me tell you, I only used fifty percent of my strength just now. Now try and take my full strength!"
Seeing Wu Kunming looking so serious, Ye Dongjian felt quite amused. He swung his fists once again, charging at Wu Kunming.
Wu Kunming gritted his teeth and retorted, "Fifty percent of your strength? Ye Dongjian, stop exaggerating."
Wu Kunming also raised all the strength in his body. When their fists touched again, this time Ye Dongjian stood his ground without moving, while Wu Kunming staggered back over ten steps, "thud thud thud thud thud," and then, unable to steady himself, fell to the ground on his behind.
The right arm with which Wu Kunming had countered Ye Dongjian’s punch felt numb from the shock. Now he was convinced that Ye Dongjian had indeed only used a fraction of his power the first time. But had Ye Dongjian’s strength really increased this rapidly?
However, when Wu Kunming thought of the monstrous Ye Chenfeng, he felt reassured. He knew that someone as powerful as Ye Chenfeng would definitely have a way to quickly enhance a person’s strength.
"How about that? Big Black Bear, now do you acknowledge how formidable I, Ye Dongjian, am? I’ve always been letting you win in the past. Otherwise, you really might have thought you were the best in the world!" Ye Dongjian said in high spirits.
Wu Kunming got up from the ground and, without giving Ye Dongjian a glance, went straight over to Ye Chenfeng and said, "Chenfeng, I know that Ye Dongjian’s victory over me is all thanks to you. You and Xiaofei are about to get engaged, and we’ll soon be family. You can’t play favorites! Could you also train me?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Dongjian became anxious. It had not been easy for him to finally defeat Wu Kunming. If Wu Kunming were to be trained by Ye Chenfeng, would Ye Dongjian not end up as just a punching bag again?
"Chenfeng, don’t bother with this Big Black Bear. I am your actual uncle, and he’s nothing in comparison. You just need to focus on training me hereafter. I promise I will have no more complaints about your training regimen," Ye Dongjian hurriedly insisted.
The reason Ye Chenfeng was able to stimulate the Qi within Ye Dongjian in just one night was not only due to the two sets of Qi-stimulating boxing techniques, but more importantly, because Ye Dongjian, having been teased over and over by Ye Chenfeng, had truly become angry, unleashing his latent potential.
If the same method were used to train Ye Dongjian a second time, it would not be as effective because Ye Dongjian would know that it could quickly improve his strength and he would opt to endure, unable to summon the necessary fury.
Similarly, having seen Ye Dongjian’s example of enhanced strength, if Wu Kunming were to undergo the same training, he might not be able to summon the anger needed for the training to be effective.
"Uncle Wu, let’s talk about the training later, shall we? Didn’t you say that you came to see me for a reason? What is it you needed?" Ye Chenfeng asked.
"Look at me, I almost forgot about it with all the commotion from Ye Dongjian. Do you remember Wang Li from the Soldier King Group? I once came to Tianhai with him on a mission, and thanks to you, we were able to complete it successfully!" Wu Kunming slapped his forehead and slowly began to recount why he had come to see Ye Chenfeng that morning. (To be continued.
