Chapter 275: He Can’t Learn Here Anymore
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Wu Ji chased Wu Tong outside of the dojo, not bothering to change his clothes. He was wearing a pair of flip flops as he followed Wu Tong into a taxi.
Seeing that she was heading back to the academy, he carefully asked: “You’re not eating anymore?”
“I’m full of anger.”
Wu Tong gave him a side eye. She was genuinely upset. “Bro, how many times have I told you? No matter what I say, is it useless?”
“Of course not, of course not!”
Wu Ji continued: “See, I didn’t do anything since you told me last time! It’s just, this punk is too much! He says he likes you and wants to pursue you, making everyone in the academy think you two are together. But you turn around for a second and what, he’s got a scandal with a female celebrity. He needs a beating! Is that celebrity prettier than you? Of course not! What does this mean? He’s a blind punk!”
Wu Tong was helpless. “You already said yourself it’s just fake news.”
Wu Ji heard this and felt he needed to retort. “I fought him nicely because it was fake news. If it really happened… Hehe, see if he can stand!”
Wu Tong smiled coldly. “Heh. Then how come you were the one being hoisted when I entered…”
Wu Ji flushed red instantly. “I was going easy on him! I only used takedown techniques on him. Otherwise, he’d be in the hospital by now!”
“Yes yes yes, I know you’re very strong.” Wu Tong turned seriously. “Bro, it’s because you’re so strong that I keep asking you to stay out of my business. I’m not worried about other people, but I’m worried about you breaking a law.”
“I know, I know. I know my limits.”
Wu Ji was most terrified of Wu Tong beginning to reason with him. He hurriedly diverted the subject. “Tong Tong, I could tell you like him, don’t you? If you like someone, I must and I will support you wholeheartedly, no matter what. But not this kid. He’s too treacherous. And he’s a player. Regardless of the scandal or fake news, why can’t that female celebrity start a scandal with someone else? Why did it have to be him! It has to be that this punk has some skewed thoughts!”
“Plus, this punk has a reputation of beating people up. No matter what the reason was, or what the result was, you have to admit he’s very violence-driven. If you really end up with him, I will be so worried! Tong Tong, you’re smart, but you’re too naive! You don’t know the evil of human nature!”
Wu Tong didn’t know whether to smile or cry. “Bro, if you put it into context… Then you’re going to beat your future wife, right?”
“I’m different, I’m a professional!”
Wu Ji rapidly shook his head. His face flushed red again. For Wu Tong, he was willing to go through anything. Since violence didn’t work, he could only try to coax her.
Evidently, his coaxing skills were lacking.
“Okay, I get it, Bro.I can deal with it on my own. Don’t worry. Besides…” Wu Tong’s expression s.h.i.+fted as a smile appeared. “No matter how strong he is, is he stronger than you? After this, he must know his place. He won’t dare treat me wrong from now on. If he’s mean to me, you can beat him up again. Is that okay? Bro, are you worried he’ll win against you?”
“Impossible! I could fight ten guys like him no problem. Don’t worry, after this meeting, I guarantee he’ll be obedient. He won’t dare mistreat you… Wait!” Wu Ji suddenly reacted to what was happening. “What did you just say? You mean, you really see a future with him?”
Wu Tong smiled and changed the subject. “Bro, how did he recognize you?”
“Didn’t you tell him? I don’t know, either. At first he said I looked familiar, but he didn’t recognize me. But as we were fighting, he recognized me. Wait, you answer my question first!”
After talking in circles, Wu Ji did not manage to persuade Wu Tong at all. On the contrary, Wu Tong managed to give him a whole lecture.
He dropped Wu Tong off at the academy and returned to the dojo full of discontent. He called Yang Feng to his office and gestured to him to sit down. “Tell me all the details about that punk during his time here.”
“Meng Fan?”
Yang Feng was already updated on what had happened. He was very shocked, too; Meng Fan was actually able to fight on par against Wu Ji. As for the private matters between the two… He wasn’t interested.
When Wu Ji asked the question, he began to describe Meng Fan’s characteristics, like his strength, hand speed, and what he’d taught him such as takedowns and captures. He also mentioned how fast he was at picking up new skills, and that he had incredible observation skills as well.
“Ji Bro, Meng Fan’s qualities are flawless. Even if he had zero foundations before, his potential is endless with proper training.” Yang Feng asked curiously. “Ji Bro, are you thinking what I’m thinking? To properly train this Meng Fan kid? Although he wanted to learn quick and practical combative skills, I think he will give it his best after learning the charm of fighting. With your coaching, he’d be…”
“To h.e.l.l with that!”
Wu Ji was immediately irritated. “Yang Feng, let me promise you. From now on, you’re not allowed to teach him anything no matter what he asks! Coaching, my as*. I want him to get the h.e.l.l out of here right away. I don’t even want him to have the chance to practice!”
No sh*t!
He barely learned anything and was able to beat Wu Ji to this state. If he really did learn something, he wouldn’t be able to deal with this punk!
There was no way he’d let him continue learning!
“Huh? Oh. Okay.”
Yang Feng didn’t know what was going on. It wasn’t like Wu Ji to do such a thing.
After Yang Feng left, Wu Ji scratched his head. Yang Feng was right; this kid had some great foundations. Although he had zero experience, he was able to match Wu Ji in combat after just starting to learn yesterday. His potential was a terrifying thing. And his stature was good, too.
“F*ck!”
Wu Ji clutched his long hair into a bird’s nest, then neatly tied it into a ponytail again. With a sullen face, he left his office and headed for the practice room. As he entered, he was greeted by Lao Hei thumping the ground, having been captured into submission by Meng Fan.
“Punk!”
Wu Ji tightened his face. “I have two things. One is an apology. But listen: I’m only apologizing for flipping you the first time. You deserved everything that came afterwards!”
Meng Fan could only respect such a hardcore apology. He had to shake his head. “No, Seventh Bro, you did nothing wrong. It was my bad!”
“Don’t call me Seventh Bro!”
Wu Ji resisted the urge to body slam him.
Meng Fan chuckled as he nodded. “Uhm, Seventh Bro, didn’t you say you had two things to say? What else?”
Wu Ji didn’t want to look at this punk for a moment longer. He flipped his head and turned to leave. After a while, Yang Feng came in.
Yang Feng was curious as to what happened to Wu Ji. Just now, he had urged him with certainty to not teach Meng Fan anything. But why did his att.i.tude change all of a sudden? And didn’t Wu Ji already enter the practice room? Why did he need him to go back and explain it?
Yang Feng asked Meng Fan: “Mr. Meng, Ji Bro wanted me to ask you. Are you interested in becoming a professional martial arts athlete?”
Meng Fan shook his head curtly. “Nope.”
