Chu Nan lowered his head and saw that it was Dong Fang’s call.
He stretched out his hand and pointed at the video chat window. A virtual screen appeared in front of Chu Nan, and Dong Fang’s chubby face filled the screen.
“Hey, Chu Nan, why aren’t you waiting at the door… Eh? Where are you? Why does it look like an underground parking lot? Also, why are you sweating profusely? Where did you go? Could it be…” Dong Fang revealed an ambiguous smile.
“It’s too noisy up there. I came down to calm myself down.” Chu Nan rolled his eyes at him, “Are you done shopping?”
“Yes, Chu Nan. We’re about to eat together. Hurry up and come up. We’ll wait for you at the door.” Rose’s crisp voice sounded.
“Alright, wait for me. I’ll be right up.”
After casually turning off his personal terminal, Chu Nan wiped the sweat on his forehead and turned around to walk towards the underground exit.
He had just taken a few steps when he turned a corner and suddenly stopped.
Not far away from him, an ordinary-looking young man who would definitely not be noticed by anyone walking on the street walked over. From his appearance, he looked to be only in his twenties.
Although this young man did not seem to have anything to pay attention to, the moment Chu Nan saw him, he immediately felt danger.
This was not because he felt any killing intent or murderous aura from the other party, but because of his experience from tens of thousands of battles in the virtual space, as well as the comprehensive judgment of any subtle points on the other party at a glance.
This person’s footsteps seemed to be slow, but every step he took was very solid. He was as stable as a rock and was not as superficial as ordinary people.
Moreover, the distance between each step was almost identical.
To be precise, according to the data in Chu Nan’s mind, the difference between each step was less than a millimeter!
As he gradually approached Chu Nan, many subtle changes were happening to his body.
For example, the muscles on the back of his hand gradually tightened, and the hair on his face gradually stood on end…
Although every change was only at the level of a millimeter, it was an abnormally clear change in Chu Nan’s mind.
According to Chu Nan’s tens of thousands of battles, all these changes indicated that this person was about to attack.
“Who is this guy? Why did he attack me?” While these questions flashed through his mind, Chu Nan’s feet only slowed down slightly. He acted as if he was surprised to see someone appear before returning to normal and approached the other party.
“10 meters… 9 meters… 8 meters… 3 meters… 2.9 meters… 2.8 meters… 2.734368 meters.”
The distance between the two of them had just arrived at the most suitable distance that Chu Nan had calculated. His left foot suddenly descended and heavily stepped on the ground.
Bang!
The moment the dust on the ground rose, Chu Nan’s raised right hand had already clenched into a fist. He waved his left arm that was pulled back and clenched his left hand. His right leg that was stepping on the ground suddenly exerted strength, and all the bones and muscles in his body immediately crackled. Then, his right fist rose diagonally and headed straight for the person’s throat.
His left leg stepped forward at an angle, his right leg moved back like a hoof, his left palm clenched tightly, and his right fist soared into the sky. It was the third move of the second stance of the Hong Clan’s Long Fist—Retreating Horse Hook Fist.
Although this punch did not give Chu Nan enough time to assume a perfect posture, with his incomparably precise calculations, it was still perfect.
It was even more smooth and natural than when he had practiced this move earlier.
The speed of this punch was 78.346723 meters per second, and the force was 429.346813 kilograms. The angle was extremely exquisite, and it just happened to be the moment that person walked over.
If that person did not react, this punch would definitely puncture his throat.
Instant kill!
Just as the punch was about to hit, that person suddenly raised his arms and guarded his chest, coincidentally blocking Chu Nan’s punch.
Bang!
The force contained in Chu Nan’s punch was extremely shocking. That person originally wanted to sneak attack, but he was counterattacked by the target now. In his hurry, how could he resist with all his might? He was forcefully sent sliding on the ground by this punch.
If not for the fact that he had already circulated his Internal Breath to prepare for a sneak attack, this punch would have broken both his arms.
While that person was still surprised that Chu Nan had discovered his intention and launched a sneak attack, Chu Nan had already rushed forward. He twisted his body and kicked that person’s head.
It was Luo Jie.
Last night, he had been ordered by Luo Guang to cripple Chu Nan before the sun set today. Luo Jie immediately received the order and left.
At first, he was worried that Chu Nan would stay in West Cloud Academy. If he attacked, it might affect his third uncle, who was also the principal of the West Cloud Academy’s Martial Arts Branch, Luo Yuntong.
Who knew that Chu Nan would leave the academy early in the morning? Overjoyed, Luo Jie followed him all the way down.
Unfortunately, he did not expect Chu Nan to come to the Martial Artist Exchange because there were too many people in the venue. He had actually lost Chu Nan.
Just as he was feeling anxious, he happened to see the video call between Dong Fang and Chu Nan. After knowing that Chu Nan was currently in the underground carpark, Luo Jie quickly walked down.
Although Luo Jie and Luo Li were cousins, their personalities were vastly different. Luo Li was proud and arrogant. If he was sent here for this mission, he would definitely fight Chu Nan face to face. However, Luo Jie wanted to sneak attack and cripple Chu Nan.
However, he did not expect that before he could attack, the kid would launch a sneak attack.
Chu Nan’s punch was indeed quite powerful. Although he hurriedly blocked it, the force of the punch made his chest feel stuffy.
Just as he was surprised by how a mere initial-stage Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist could unleash such a powerful punch, he seemed to have gained the upper hand and kicked over.
Luo Jie sneered in his mind.
Although Chu Nan was able to defeat Luo Li and prove that his true strength was definitely not only at the initial-stage Overlord Body realm, Luo Jie was a second-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist, so he naturally did not take Chu Nan seriously.
Seeing Chu Nan’s kick, Luo Jie’s body swayed like the wind blowing against a willow tree and easily dodged it. Then, he took a deep breath and lightly slapped his left palm.
This palm strike did not seem to have any power, but it contained Luo Jie’s powerful Internal Breath. If he was to hit it, the sinister internal force produced by Luo Jie’s cultivation of the Luo family’s Jade Fragment cultivation method would invade Chu Nan’s meridians and immediately cripple him.
However, Chu Nan had experienced tens of thousands of battles of various sizes in the virtual space. With his rich combat experience, he had long had follow-up moves when he kicked out.
As soon as Luo Jie’s palm moved, he had already analyzed the next move through the data. He twisted his waist again, and the sidekick suddenly fell and smashed into Luo Jie’s chest.
Luo Jie did not expect Chu Nan to react so quickly. In his shock, he could only hurriedly withdraw his left palm and raise his hands to block Chu Nan’s kick again.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the sealed space of the underground parking lot, the muffled sounds of fists and feet colliding could be heard.
Chu Nan and Luo Jie exchanged blows, and in the blink of an eye, they had exchanged more than a hundred moves.
The more Luo Jie fought, the more shocked he became.
Up until now, he already knew Chu Nan’s true strength.
From the strength of Chu Nan’s punches and kicks, his true strength was only similar to a third-stage Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist.
However, from the beginning of the battle until now, he had been completely controlled by Chu Nan and did not have the slightest chance to counterattack.
