Holy Fist

Chapter 49: 049 The fourth career trigger
 

Compared to that, the security profession hadn’t made much progress.

In recent days, with no disturbances at Sakura Bird Bar, Bai Xiao naturally had no extra earnings. His upgrades continued as routinely and methodically as before.

It is worth mentioning,

Bai Xiao’s four-dimensional attributes naturally improved during the elite class courses, which he attributed to the medicinal soup and breathing techniques.

[Power: 15.0→15.1]

[Speed: 13.2→13.3]

[Physique: 14.0→14.1]

[Will: 12.5→12.7]

Power +0.1, Speed +0.1, Physique +0.1, Will +0.2.

Among these, the increase in Will Attribute was due to Bai Xiao engaging in the most basic method of exhaustive training. Additionally, practicing the Dao Jing Ceremony had clarified his mental will.

Interestingly, during the elite class courses, he heard Instructor Liu Yang discuss a martial arts theory about extreme overdraft. Liu Yang said that a person’s strength could gather like a flow of water, able to be drawn away to other parts of the body.

In that case, the part from which strength was drawn would enter a state of desiccation. Hence, the unique Qi hidden within the cells in the muscles would be forcibly extracted to nourish that area of the body.

It was like a spring that, unless the water was drawn, the water level in the formed pond would always remain the same, maintaining balance. But when you divert the spring through other means, either by digging a channel or inserting a tube, the underground water hidden at the bottom of the pond would surge up, thereby balancing the water level again.

This underground water referred to the potential of the human body.

Whether it was in terms of physique or spirit,

Bai Xiao felt that the theory of extreme overdraft was applicable.

July 7, 3:40 p.m.

On the back seat of a bus heading to Beihai Road,

Bai Xiao, who had just finished the elite class training, received a phone call. As he looked at the screen, it was Wei Dong. With a beep, the call connected.

Wei Dong, “Xiaozi, 5:30 p.m. at the entrance of Qingteng High School.”

Bai Xiao, “Why, wanting to revisit our alma mater to reminisce about the past?”

Wei Dong, “Reminisce? I wish that damn school was demolished.”

After a brief exchange, the two ended the call.

Bai Xiao returned to Sunshine District, opened the windows of the living room, and drew the curtains. Leveraging the sunlight from outside, he continuously practiced various combat skills.

Today, he decided not to make any delivery rounds.

5:00 p.m.

The whooshing sounds in the living room resonated, then abruptly stopped.

Bai Xiao ceased his punches and kicks and headed straight into the bathroom for a refreshing cold shower. When he came out, he picked a set of long pants and short sleeves.

All were large-sized black garments, not brand-name, just street vendor items.

But his robust and well-built physique filled out this ordinary outfit, especially the chest and shoulders, hard and broad like a clothes hanger.

“I need to get a haircut in a few days, my hair is getting a bit long.”

In front of the mirror, Bai Xiao ran his hand through his hair, accidentally turning his grown bangs into a middle-parted hairstyle, just like some pop star who sings and dances.

At 5:05, he hurried downstairs and walked towards the exit of the district.

Bai Xiao had attended Qingteng High School, which was also located in Huaisui City.

Only, it was at the edge of the downtown area, far from the Xuanshan District.

Fortunately, transportation in Huaisui City was well-developed. Bai Xiao took bus 611 and quickly arrived on the street where Qingteng High School was located.

At the bus stop, he bypassed the kiosk and billboard and entered the familiar sidewalk. To the right, various stalls and vendors already occupied strategic positions on both sides of the street, with the aroma of pancakes, cold noodles, and stewed flavors wafting through the air.

There was no doubt that the end of school was the best time for business.

Bai Xiao looked at this scene and actually missed his school days a bit. When studying, he envied the freedom of societal life; when mixing in society, he envied the carefree life of students. Youth, once gone, was irrevocable.

Approaching Qingteng High School, the school broadcast was playing dismissal music.

“I also came across photos by chance, recalling you, my desk mate~”

One by one, students dressed in white and blue striped sport uniforms rushed out of the school gate. Some animatedly chatted with friends, others couldn’t wait to pull out their phones and start scrolling, while some headed straight for the various snack stands.

Laughter echoed among friends, and whispers lingered between boys and girls…

Bai Xiao glanced over, a wave of youthfulness hit him.

But, at the school gate, there appeared an atmosphere destroyer.

Among the marble bollards that ringed the area, an attractive young man dressed in a tailored suit was, unfashionably, sporting a trendy dyed hairstyle, wearing amber sunglasses, and rocking three tacky black ear clips on his left ear. At that moment, though, he had no trace of dignity, squatting on the bollard with the posture of someone using the restroom, leering.

Left hand holding a bright large chicken leg: 10 yuan.

Right hand clutching a Nanjiang hand-grasped pancake: 12 yuan.

A nibble on the left, a bite on the right.

His head faced towards the school gate, and whenever a pretty girl came out, his whole attention fixed unblinkingly on her, his gaze following her path, making him look particularly sleazy. Not even the amber sunglasses could mask this demeanor. His head would keep turning until the girl disappeared from view, then reluctantly, he’d turn back and smack his greasy lips.

Like a lecher in urgent need of satisfaction.

“Such a beast, these students from the first and second years aren’t even of age yet…”

A parent standing by the roadside warned cautiously.

On the sidewalk, Bai Xiao’s face drew into a frown as he stopped walking.

Pulling out his phone, he tapped into YY.

“?”

Concisely, a question mark expressed Bai Xiao’s mood at that moment.

After a dozen seconds, the screen flashed.

“?”

Wei Dong, just as succinctly, responded with a question mark.

He then sent two more messages:

“Where are you? Have you arrived?”

“Come over here, you must have seen me.”

Bai Xiao typed: “What about your image? Eaten by a dog?”

After another dozen seconds.

“Fuck, was typing to you, chicken leg fell to the ground and really got eaten by a dog.”

Bai Xiao looked up to see Wei Dong awkwardly standing up, a dog beside the curb thoroughly enjoying the delicious chicken leg. Wei Dong turned and surveyed the area, and soon spotted Bai Xiao on the sidewalk.

He was initially stunned, then pushed his sunglasses down his nose, taking another look with his bare eyes. Wei Dong’s eyes widened, and he seemed to curse under his breath. The man hastened over with long strides.

And talk about a transformation, without his earlier sleazy antics. Outfitted in a high-quality black suit that elegantly clung to his form, Wei Dong looked tall and sleek, with his jacket casually draped over his forearm, exuding an inexplicable air of aristocracy.

Tap tap, his steps halted. A young man, somewhat reminiscent of a wealthy tyrant from an idol drama, once again gazed intently at Bai Xiao.

“Xiaozi, long time no see.”

“Damn, I almost didn’t recognize you!”

“Haven’t seen you for half a year and you’ve turned into a hunk!”

“These arms, this muscle tone, tsk tsk, even better than my fitness instructor…”

“How about you become my fitness instructor? I’ll fire the other guy.”

Bai Xiao looked at Wei Dong, who was entirely out of character from his usual aloof rich young master image, his eyelids twitched with the urge to turn and leave. But the next second, his brow suddenly relaxed, and a smile creased his face as he extended his hand towards Wei Dong very actively: “Long time no see.”

Wei Dong smiled, shook his right hand, and with a snap, greeted Bai Xiao in a brotherly manner. Their hands gripped each other firmly.

Meanwhile, in front of Bai Xiao’s retinas, the professional panel flickered.
