Chapter 58 Experience
In the hall,
the group of burly men scattered around in groups of twos and threes and observed Xiong Kai, who had taken the initiative to suggest a spar.
“Brother Wei, your guess was right. I’ll accept this loss,” Guo Hao said.
“Haha, Xiong Kai is a martial arts fanatic. He loves to find different opponents to spar with the most. He doesn’t care about the other party’s status,” Wei Chaoyuan laughed.
“No wonder you stopped me from going over. So you knew that Xiong Kai would approach him,” Guo Hao said.
“That’s not it. I’ll tell you the truth even if it hurts you a little. You have only undergone three transformations, while Xiong Kai has undergone four.
A core disciple who has just left the martial arts school will at least undergo three transformations. His cultivation technique is more powerful than yours, what can you gain even if you spar with him?” Wei Chaoyuan explained.
Guo Hao was one of the weakest members in the transport team. He was not afraid of embarrassing himself and was prepared to take action on behalf of his brothers to test the strength of the new consultant.
Wei Chaoyuan had stopped Guo Hao and suggested that there would definitely be someone else who would not be able to hold back, so he did not to be anxious.
Both sides made a bet for a meal.
Chen Yiming and Xiong Kai had already started fighting while they were chatting.
“I’m starting!”
Xiong Kai’s full weight, which totaled nearly 300 kilograms, crossed several meters in an instant.
The cement floor was being stomped on by him, and the entire hall could feel the tremors. It was just as expected of his body which was built like a small mountain. “Alright!”
Chen Yiming received the full force of the attack with his fist.
This was a sparring session to test their strength, and it was not necessary to determine who would win over the other. He decided to directly use his fists to test the transport team’s strength.
“Bang!”
The force from their fists collided.
At the next moment, Xiong Kai remained rooted to the ground, while Chen Yiming took a few steps back to slow himself to a stop.
Chen Yiming had only used the power from his third transformation, which was slightly inferior to his opponent. However, he could still understand his opponent’s level through this punch.
Xiong Kai was at the level of four transformations.
“Brother, my cultivation level is higher than yours, and I specialize in using fists. You can’t be my match without your sword,” Xiong Kai reminded him instead of continuing with his punches.
“Then I’ll use my sword. Be careful.”
Chen Yiming drew his sword and charged forward.
No matter the location, strength was everything. Only those who were strong enough would be able to convince others.
After one punch, there was naturally no need to continue competing with their force. He decided to use his swordsmanship to show the transportation team his strength.
The two of them exchanged more than ten blows at lightning speed.
By using the Mantis Snake Sword Technique, Chen Yiming, who was one cultivation level lower, was able to gain the upper hand with the enhancement from the sword technique’s speed over short distances.
Xiong Kai, on the other hand, could only defend continuously and rely on his powerful body to withstand the attacks from the sharp sword.
One was as light as a swallow, while the other was as hard as a rock. The two sides fought back and forth, and the surrounding transport team members cheered and applauded.
Gradually, the situation started to turn in Chen Yiming’s favor.
Xiong Kai’s heavy body was specialized for strength, and he could fight on par with mutant beasts. Often, he could take on multiple mutant beasts all by himself.
However, he couldn’t use his full strength against an agile opponent like Chen Yiming.
“Brother Wei, the situation isn’t looking good. Xiong Kai seems to be losing,” Guo Hao said.
“It’s not that it seems like it, but that he will definitely lose,” Wei Chaoyuan said with a smile. “The personnel recruited by our transportation team are basically all specialized in strength-based fighting styles. The first consideration is to fend off the attacks from the mutant beasts against the transportation vehicles, not to kill the mutant beasts. Such one-on-one duels are not our forte.”
Wei Chaoyuan had undergone five transformations and had been working in the Anteng Transportation Company for many years. He had seen much more of the world than Guo Hao, who had undergone three transformations, and had already come to a conclusion.
After another ten moves, Xiong Kai took the initiative to admit defeat and stop the fight.
In a one-on-one fight, there were no other factors interfering with the result. The strong were the strong, and the weak were the weak.
Once there was no effective way to counterattack, victory or defeat would only be a matter of time.
“Brother Yiming, you’re too agile. I’m not your match,” Xiong Kai said with a laugh, not feeling dejected at all from his defeat.
“Thank you for letting me win. I was only able to win because of the choice of martial arts technique. Let’s interact more and improve together in the future,” Chen Yiming said calmly.
At this moment, Wang Jianyan walked over.
“Very exciting. As expected of someone from the Mantis Snake Sword School. If you didn’t deliberately avoid injuring him, Xiong Kai would have lost long ago,” Wang Jianyan concluded.
“Big Brother, it can’t be that extreme. How can my body, which is as hard as steel, lose so quickly?” Xiong Kai’s eyes widened as he exclaimed in surprise.
“You don’t believe me? You’ll understand in the future.” Wang Jianyan turned to look at Xiong Kai.
He then turned to Chen Yiming.
“Brother Yiming, as a senior, I don’t know if I should make some suggestions,” Wang Jianyan said.
“Please go ahead,” Chen Yiming replied. He had never been a person who wouldn’t listen to others’ feedback.
“Other than the Mantis Snake Sword Technique, I wonder if you have any other sword techniques suitable for defense,” Wang Jianyan asked.
“Not yet,” Chen Yiming replied.
On the surface, he only learned one sword technique.
“Then I hope you can consider my next suggestion,” Wang Jianyan said seriously. “When our transport team goes out of the city to transport supplies, the most common danger is the attacks from mutant beasts.
Under such circumstances, we often need to go into a formation to fight the enemies. The space for one person to move around is around one to two meters. You need to know a defensive sword technique to work together with your teammates.”
“I understand.” Chen Yiming nodded.
Just as Wang Jianyan had said, when the mutant beasts attacked the transport vehicles, it was most important to coordinate with his teammates’ defense.
After all, the priority of the transport team was to ensure that the convoy was safe and sound, not to kill the enemy.
Chen Yiming continued to spar with the other members of the transport team to improve their relationship.
Near noon, Chen Yiming left first.
He still needed to go to the public hospital.
Chen Shaojie had unexpectedly become a bloodline warrior and had the potential to continue his martial arts training. Chen Yiming wanted to know what his cousin thought about this.
He walked out of the entrance of the Anteng Transportation Company.
“Beep! Beep! Beep!”
The horns of the trucks sounded one after another.
Chen Yiming stopped and let the trucks pass first. More than ten large trucks drove by one after another.
Ever since the space-travel passage appeared in the west of East Lake City, the war between the two sides had been going on for nearly a year. Such trucks and convoys were constantly transporting supplies to the front line. It was clear how intense the war was.
Chen Yiming observed the trucks carefully.
The front of the vehicle, the wheels, and the cargo boxes were all covered with a thick layer of steel plates. Not a single part of the trucks’ actual body was exposed to the outside, so the trucks were not too different from armored vehicles.
The addition of steel plates would inevitably put additional weight on the truck. The amount of cargo that could be transported at once would definitely decrease greatly.
He recalled that when he first transmigrated, he could still see many small vehicles on the street. In the past half a year, they had basically disappeared. Presumably, all transportation was focused on the war.
Under such circumstances, even if ordinary people had vehicles, they might not be able to get any fuel.
