The crowd, having reacted, naturally expressed their understanding.
Seeing this, Lin Tong’s Aura receded.
A gentle smile appeared on his face.
He took out his phone and added the five people’s contact information.
He also stated that if they encountered anything in the next few days, they could contact him immediately.
As he was leaving, Lin Tong seemed to remember something.
“Oh, there’s something your coach might have mentioned, but I need to remind you again: although you’ve qualified for the Core Class, you mustn’t slack off on your training.
A strong physique will be of great benefit for cultivating the Breaking Limit Method later.”
With that, he turned and left without giving anyone time to react.
…
Seeing Lin Tong leave, the few people exchanged glances and prepared to disperse.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.
“Everyone, please wait a moment!”
Simms spoke indifferently, his gaze sweeping over the other four, finally resting on Hu Qi’s calm face, a smile appearing on his own face.
“In a few days, we’ll be entering the Core Class. That place is different from here; everyone who can enter the Core Class is a Genius from various branches.
I think we should stick together. There’s strength in numbers, and it can prevent us from being bullied. What do you all think?”
Upon hearing this, the few people had various expressions but remained silent.
The Red Scale Club is not just in this one location.
Within Qirong City, there are five branch halls, located in South City, West City, East City, North City, and Tianhu.
In addition, there are Red Scale Club branches stationed in other cities.
Chen Wu had already told them about this.
However, Simms’s words at this moment clearly had a follow-up.
“If you don’t speak, that means you agree.
Since we’re forming a group, shouldn’t we choose a leader…?”
Simms continued, but his words abruptly stopped halfway as his gaze turned to one side.
He saw Hu Qi had, at some point, walked to the main door and was just reaching out to open it.
The next moment, a thick, black palm directly blocked the door.
At the same time, Simms’s somewhat suppressed voice rang out.
“Hu Qi, didn’t you see I was talking?”
“Talking?”
Hu Qi turned sideways, looking at Simms, who was nearly within reach and a head taller than him.
A smile appeared on his face.
“What do you count as, that I have to listen to you talk?”
As his words fell, Simms’s face visibly twisted.
“Good! Good! Good!
Let me see if your strength is enough to support such arrogance!”
As he spoke, his body moved slightly, his right arm pulled back slightly, like a fully drawn bowstring, then suddenly shot out, bringing with it a gust of wind.
As he threw the punch, his wrist lifted slightly, his knuckles adjusted their angle, without any superfluous movements, and he smashed a punch directly towards Hu Qi’s face.
Seeing this scene, the three people on the side changed their expressions slightly, but no one dared to step forward to try and stop him.
Excluding Hu Qi, everyone present had been members of the club for at least half a year, and they had all heard about Simms’s strength.
Although this guy was a bit overbearing, he certainly had the capital for it.
That terrifying power was something no student could block.
Therefore, they didn’t think Hu Qi would be Simms’s opponent, and for the current situation, they could only mourn for him.
Ye Li, among them, even averted her gaze, unable to bear watching.
Crack!
The sound of flesh colliding echoed.
The next moment, the expressions of everyone present stiffened.
They saw Simms’s thrown fist stopped just before Hu Qi’s face, blocked by a broad, thick palm, unable to advance an inch.
A flicker of astonishment crossed Simms’s charcoal-like face.
Regarding Hu Qi’s strength, he had made some guesses in his mind when he saw that string of numbers in the force measurement room.
Now it seemed, it really was this guy.
“This guy actually hid so deeply?”
Thinking of this, he leaned his body slightly forward, his arm suddenly exerting force, trying to break free from the hand that was like an iron clamp.
However, no matter how the veins on his arm bulged like small snakes, and his muscles tensed as if they were about to explode.
The hand gripping his fist remained motionless, like an unshakeable mountain.
“Damn it!”
Feeling the gazes of the few people around him, his face burned, and he immediately cursed angrily.
He sucked in his stomach, bent his knees, and lifted his leg.
His foot then kicked fiercely towards Hu Qi’s waist, trying to make Hu Qi let go.
However, his foot had only kicked out halfway when he saw a black shadow flash past his eyes.
Immediately after, he felt a pain in his abdomen, and his face instantly lost a layer of color; his dark face seemed to turn a few shades lighter at this moment.
Thump!
His tall, one-meter-ninety-plus frame, at this moment, curled into a ball like a cooked shrimp, and his knees directly fell to the ground.
The veins on his neck and face bulged, clearly enduring unimaginable pain.
“With only this much strength, you still want to pick a fight with me.
You really disappoint me. If you had met me before, you wouldn’t even have had a chance to advance.”
Hu Qi bent down, his expression calm, looking down from above.
He bent over and gently patted Simms’s cheek with his hand.
After speaking, he turned and left.
Watching Hu Qi’s receding figure, and thinking of the humiliating action the other party had just used on him, Simms’s face turned grim.
Rage burned in his heart, almost burying what little sanity he had left.
“Ah! You’re courting death!”
He roared, pushing off the ground with his legs, crossing his arms to protect his head, and crashing fiercely towards Hu Qi’s location.
Facing this situation, Hu Qi seemed to have anticipated it.
As he turned, his body sank slightly, his knees bent, and his leg muscles rhythmically tightened and extended with the movement.
His foot straightened, like a launched arrow, kicking straight out.
The next moment, a tearing whistle suddenly came from the air.
Immediately after, only a dull thud was heard.
This kick landed squarely on Simms’s shoulder as he charged over.
Crack!
The sound of a bone dislocating rang out.
Simms, who had charged over, was directly lifted off his feet by this powerful recoil, flying nearly ten meters before stopping.
“Do you think you’re playing a game, and shouting loudly can trigger a power burst? Then why do we even learn martial arts; we might as well just practice shouting.”
Hu Qi’s face showed a cold sneer.
At this moment, he was like a drawn sword, exuding a sharp, intimidating Aura.
As he spoke, he slightly raised his head, his peripheral vision catching the camera located in the corner of the room.
Then, he walked a few steps to Simms, who was sprawled on the ground, his face almost distorted by pain.
At this moment, the other party was staring intently at Hu Qi with bloodshot eyes.
“Why are you looking at me like that? You’re not convinced?”
As his words fell, Hu Qi, without warning, kicked out again like lightning, directly striking Simms’s face.
With a “bang,” he flew out again, directly hitting the corner of the wall before stopping.
Several broken, blood-stained teeth even flew directly out of the other party’s mouth.
