Hearing Chen Haoxuan's words, Yang Lin finally came to his senses and hurriedly ran to the back of the line.
Seeing that Yang Lin had lined up, Chen Haoxuan spoke up, "This morning, I encountered an Island Nation Person at New City University. He insulted us Chinese People, calling us the Sick Man of East Asia. So I gave him a good lesson. But he wasn't deterred; he issued me a challenge and said he would bring over twenty Karate experts to compete against me. Therefore, I also need to invite over twenty experts to challenge their so-called masters in one-on-one matches. Who wants to join?"
"I do," Lin Hao and the others shouted in unison. This competition was a great opportunity for them to gain Chen Haoxuan's attention.
"You have more than thirty people, while I only need over twenty. How about this? Number Ten will be the day of the competition. On September Eighth, we will have our own match. The winners will compete first, and the losers will wait behind. Whether you get to compete will depend on your ranking," Chen Haoxuan declared loudly.
"Boss, if we set it now, I'll feel more at ease," Lin Hao said with a grin.
"I'll personally train you all in the next few days. If there's anything you want to learn, feel free to ask me. By September Eighth, won't your chances of winning be greater? But whether we compete now or on September Eighth is up to you. What do you say? When shall we compete?" Chen Haoxuan grinned.
"Of course, we should compete on September Eighth! Yes, September Eighth! Lin Hao is currently the strongest among us, so he definitely hopes to compete now..." All the security guards clamored for the competition to be on September Eighth. They weren't foolish; they knew their chances depended on whether they could learn exceptional skills from Chen Haoxuan in these few days. If they worked hard enough, perhaps they could break into the top twenty by September Eighth.
"Alright, since you've all chosen September Eighth, let's make good use of our training time! Now find opponents among yourselves and practice against each other so I can see your current abilities. If there are any shortcomings, I'll point them out," Chen Haoxuan said.
"Yes!" everyone responded loudly.
Lin Hao and his group found opponents of similar strength to spar with. As Lin Hao was the strongest, he chose Jiang Dong, who ranked second in strength, for a match. Yang Lin felt awkward; his opponent was the weakest member of the Security Team. He had no choice but to face him and didn't dare challenge anyone stronger; he only wished for someone weaker. Yet even this weakest opponent was much stronger than him—how could he compete?
"Brother, we have a fate!" Li Wenshan grinned at Yang Lin.
"Brother, I can't beat you; you should find someone else!" Yang Lin awkwardly replied to Li Wenshan.
"You can't even beat me, and you want to fight others? I'm the gentlest one in this Security Team. If it were someone else, just look for yourself!" Li Wenshan said, pointing at those who were sparring.
Yang Lin looked over and couldn't help but exclaim. If he hadn't heard Chen Haoxuan say they were sparring, he would have thought this group was engaged in a life-and-death duel. He saw Lin Hao and the others being ruthless against their opponents, and although Chen Haoxuan had just called for the match to start, several people were already bleeding. Yet Chen Haoxuan's expression was calm, as if everything was perfectly normal.
Chen Haoxuan's mind was much sharper than the average person; he could focus on several things at once and remember them. From the beginning, he had been watching Yang Lin. He noticed Yang Lin observing the others spar while he himself was not sparring with Li Wenshan.
Chen Haoxuan walked over to a stone table and picked up a whip that was specifically used by the instructor. Naturally, he intended to use it on someone! As for whom, it seemed most likely to be Yang Lin, since he was so obviously standing still.
Chen Haoxuan circled behind Yang Lin and with a flick of his wrist, the whip cracked against Yang Lin's back. Yang Lin immediately felt a sharp pain. He turned around, puzzled, and asked Chen Haoxuan, "Haoxuan, why did you hit me?"
"I told you to find someone to spar with, didn't I? Why are you just standing here watching others? Did you come here just to watch? If that's the case, you can go back to New City University right now. If you want to learn something here, you need to follow the instructor's orders. Whatever the instructor tells you to do, you do it! Do you understand?" Chen Haoxuan said sternly to Yang Lin.
"Haoxuan, I'm sorry. I'll go find someone to spar with right away," Yang Lin replied apologetically. He felt embarrassed being scolded by Chen Haoxuan but wasn't angry because he knew that strict teachers produce excellent students.
With a frown, Yang Lin went to find Li Wenshan. Just as Li Wenshan said, he was indeed the gentlest one; why would he look for someone tough?
Chen Haoxuan was very professional as an instructor. He continuously corrected Lin Hao and the others' techniques. If anyone tried to show off by adding unnecessary moves, he would whip them. Unlike Lin Hao and the others, Chen Haoxuan could be considered a pioneer because all his fighting techniques were self-created; they were so effective that they didn't even require specific moves—he had reached a level where he could fight as he pleased. If his body allowed it, there wouldn't be anyone stronger than him in this world.
The techniques Chen Haoxuan taught Lin Hao and the others were practical ones. He insisted that they not use moves that wouldn't help in combat; fighting required not only good skills but also a sharp mind. A combination of both made one invincible. Thus, during their sparring sessions, Chen Haoxuan even asked questions.
Among so many people, the fiercest battle was between Jiang Dong and Lin Hao. They both had a strong rivalry against each other. Jiang Dong had been leading the Security Team for the longest time, and many regarded him as the captain. However, Lin Hao had become captain while still in the hospital, which made Jiang Dong feel very dissatisfied; he believed he should be captain instead of merely holding the title of vice-captain.
Jiang Dong knew that Chen Haoxuan valued strength above all else. So he thought that if he could defeat Lin Hao, perhaps Chen Haoxuan would give him the captain position. Therefore, every time they sparred, Jiang Dong sought out Lin Hao as his opponent. However, he lost repeatedly and had yet to win against Lin Hao even once. But he refused to give up; he believed that as long as he worked hard enough, he could defeat Lin Hao—this was something Chen Haoxuan had told him.
Jiang Dong works so hard, and everyone knows why. To prevent Jiang Dong from surpassing him, Lin Hao also puts in a lot of effort. While others train for one hour, he trains for an hour and a half. Because of this, Jiang Dong has never been able to defeat him.
