I Have A Martial Arts Panel

Chapter 41: One Punch

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Pan Du fainted.

Xu Ning had used too much force.

Pan Du was only a muscle bone realm warrior, while Xu Ning had already been promoted to the inner enrichment realm, and was in the intermediate realm of the Source Breath Bodybuilding Tactic.

Xu Ning had consumed 9 units of energy for these upgrades, so he still had 3 units of energy left.

Reaching to the intermediate realm of the Source Breath Bodybuilding Tactic doubled Xu Ning’s physical strength.

With that, the power of his strike exceeded Pan Du’s pain tolerance.

After Pan Du fainted, Xu Ning tossed him to the ground.

Pan Du’s injury was quite serious, but it was not life threatening..

Xu Ning was aware of this.

“Old Feng.”

Xu Ning ignored Pan Du, walked next to Feng Sigua, and helped him stand up.

“Master…”

After taking a moment to catch his breath, Feng Sigua was finally able to speak.

However, his face was pale and he looked exhausted.

“Good job, you did well.”

Feng Sigua leaned on Xu Ning as they walked out of the small courtyard.

Soon after, Xu Ning saw a city guard standing at his post.

Xu Ning gestured to him to come over.

“Call for someone to use a stretcher to carry Feng Sigua to the hospital.” Xu Ning ordered, “Be careful, don’t hurt him. When the doctor asks about medicine, use the best medicine available, don’t worry about spending money.”

“Oh yeah, let the hospital issue a bill on the cost of diagnosis and treatment. Give me the bill and I’ll ask the guard station to sort it out.”

After Feng Sigua heard this, he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xu Ning.

Xu Ning said, “Don’t worry, I will deal with it.”

Feng Sigua was then carried away.

Xu Ning stood in the guard station’s courtyard as he looked at Chen Ren’s plants and flowers.

Xu Ning’s face was calm with not a hint of care in his eyes.

This was the first time someone had been injured because of him.

Xu Ning felt a little guilty, but mostly angry. However on the surface, Xu Ning was emotionless.

“Captain Qu said that I am the foundation.”

Xu Ning thought to himself, ‘Then I should build a strong foundation for us.’

With that thought in mind, Xu Ning walked towards Lieutenant Chen’s study confidently.

…

Five people were waiting in Chen Ren’s study.

“Why hasn’t Pan Du come back yet?”

A bald-headed Black Armored Guard rubbed his head with a fierce look on his face.

Chen Ren also frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with Pan Du’s lack of efficiency.

Chen Ren had organized this meeting in regards to Xu Ning’s behavior.

But Xu Ning was nowhere to be found. Chen Ren was getting a little impatient.

While he was thinking, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Xu Ning walked in confidently.

“Master Chen.”

Xu Ning greeted with his cupped fists.

But there was no trace of humbleness in his tone. He just stood there with his back straight the entire time.

Chen Ren’s eyelids trembled slightly, as if it was suppressing his emotions.

“How is a newcomer so ignorant of proper etiquette? Do you still need me to teach you how to properly salute?”

The strong, bald-headed man stood up and said with a threatening tone.

His name was Zhuang Dingshi, Chen Ren’s right hand man. Through Chen Ren, he had also obtained a ton of bribes from Dayuan Trading Company.

Xu Ning turned to look at him.

Afterwards, Xu Ning smiled faintly and took half a step back. He did not respond, but his right hand behind his back was gripping a dagger.

Zhuang Dingsh’s heart was full of fire.

Xu Ning was provoking him.

Just when he couldn’t contain his anger, Chen Ren spoke.

“Xu Ning, this is a guard station after all, the Maple Lane Black Armored Guards Post.”

Chen Ren stared at Xu Ning. “You have to follow the rules.”

“Okay, master.”

Xu Ning did not refute. He responded immediately.

He then remained silent again.

Chen Ren took a deep breath. Just when he was just about to reprimand Xu Ning, he suddenly realized that Pan Du, who had gone to retrieve Xu Ning just now, had not come back with him.

“Where is Pan Du?”

Chen Ren asked Xu Ning.

Xu Ning explained without hesitation, “Pan Du had beaten up a city guard for no apparent reason. I have already taught him a lesson, so he may still be lying in the courtyard in front of my study.”

“Bastard!”

Finally, Chen Ren could no longer suppress his anger. He stood up and slapped the desk with his palm.

Chen Ren’s face was red.

Xu Ning had attacked their own people.

Although Chen Ren had been in the Maple Lane Guard Station for a long time, he still felt threatened.

“Zhuang Dingshi, take Xu Ning to the confinement room!”

Chen Ren decided to do something to Xu Ning.

What Xu Ning did before and what he was doing now was beyond Chen Ren’s tolerance level.

“Yes!”

Zhuang Dingshi did not hesitate.

He stepped forward.

The rest of the people stood aside. All of them were watching the show.

Bam!

Xu Ning shook his arm and flinged Zhuang Dingshi’s hand away.

“You dare to resist an order?”

Zhuang Dingshi angrily said.

Zhuang Dingshi raised his thick arm and punched Xu Ning.

Xu Ning was not afraid at all, and he responded back with a punch.

The two fists collided.

Zhuang Dingshi snorted, but sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.

The bones in his forearm were broken.

“What?!”

Chen Ren’s pupils shrank.

He looked at Xu Ning with disbelief.

Zhuang Dingshi was an inner enrichment realm warrior, and was in the elementary realm of the Source Breath Bodybuilding Tactic. He was one of the few subordinates in the entire Maple Lane Guard Station that Chen Ren could rely on.

But now, his bones were broken from Xu Ning’s single punch.

He had read Xu Ning’s information before, so he knew that Xu Ning was only in the muscle bone realm.

‘Even if he was improving during this time, he still shouldn’t be able to defeat Zhuang Dingshi so easily!’

Chen Ren’s brain was thinking, ‘If he had increased his strength to this level in such a short amount of time, he would have had to use dan medicine and be under the guidance of an expert…’

He thought back to the quarrel between Cai Qinghan, Qu Dayou and the others, plus Xu Ning’s assignment from Camp Site Three. Chen Ren finally realized that Xu Ning was a planted foundation in the guard station!

‘Xu Ning was deliberately planted by Qu Dayou!’ Chen Ren automatically filled in the details. ‘Xu Ning’s information may have been modified by Qu Dayou before all this, and the purpose of this is to make me underestimate him.’

‘In the past, I had thought that Yu Xinghe’s allocation of Xu Ning was a trivial matter. Now it seems that I was too naive.’

Chen Ren suddenly felt a huge threat.

After all, he was just a lieutenant. He was also controlled by Dayuan Trading Company.

And behind Xu Ning was Qu Dayou.

Although he was in Cai Qinghan’s camp, Qu Dayou was still in charge.

“Master Lieutenant.”

Xu Ning’s expression remained unchanged.

In fact, Xu Ning’s forearm was also in a bit of pain, but there was no substantial injury.

“It’s not that I resisted the order.”

Xu Ning said, “I hit Pan Du because he violated the rules first. Punishing me does not make sense.”

“Moreover, my identity is still a Camp Site Three member first. If you wish to impose personal restrictions on me, please consult with Master Qu first.”

Afterwards, Xu Ning cupped his fists again. “Master Qu has something for me to do. I have to leave now, farewell.”

Xu Ning glanced around at the several people around him.

There was deep hostility in everyone’s eyes.

But when Xu Ning turned around and left, no one did anything.

Xu Ning’s identity was already complicated. With Qu Dayou behind him, Chen Ren obviously was worried. As for the Black Armored Guards who were bought out by Dayuan Trading Company, they did not want to fight with Xu Ning.

Once Xu Ning left, the study went silent.

“Let’s all leave.”

Chen Ren waved his hand.

Chen Ren no longer had the calmness he had before.

The rest of the Black Armored Guards in the room looked at each other and then quickly left.

Only Chen Ren was left, standing alone at the window, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Chirp! Chirp!

The birds raised by Chen Ren were chirping.

In the past, Chen Ren would feel vengeful, but now, he only felt upset.

‘No, I have to find the chief manager!’

Chen Ren thought for a moment and made a decision.

He must not let the Maple Lane Guard Station become the first battlefield between Cai Qinghan’s camp and Qu Dayou’s camp.

Afterwards, Chen Ren put on his coat and animal-skin hat, walked straight out of the room, and went to Dayuan Trading Company.
