Fanatic!

Chapter 72 Transformation
Huang Meizhen went to the dentist at noon and will be helping out there in the afternoon.

Chen Wuhong changed his clothes and limped out of his house. His left leg was still a little sore when he walked, but fortunately it was not serious.

He now desperately wants to know if that Chen Wujun is his second son.

After going downstairs, Chen Wuhong felt that even the stench of the walled city smelled sweet.

He was going crazy from being cooped up at home for months.

However, because of what happened last time, he now walks with his eyes and ears wide open, afraid of encountering something again.

After going downstairs, before I even reached Lung Chun Road, I heard hurried running sounds and shouts behind me.

"Kid, where do you think you're going?"

Chen Wuhong's heart pounded wildly, and he immediately tried to run away.

However, he immediately realized that the other party might not be chasing him. He turned his head and saw a blond-haired man running towards him, with three other people chasing after him.

"Get out of the way!" The blond-haired man ran up to him and shoved him over the edge.

"Damn it!" As soon as Chen Wuhong fell to the ground, someone stepped on his ankle, and then another.

"Stop right there!" One of the men chasing him stepped on his ankle.

Chen Wuhong lay on the ground, rolling around in agony, his face contorted in pain.

"It happened last time, and it happened again this time. What a coincidence... Second brother!"

In a flash, Chen Wuhong suddenly understood.

It's always the same; he's not stupid.

No wonder the second brother is always so concerned about his leg; it's clearly someone he arranged!

In the evening, Chen Wujun returned home.

"Where's the eldest brother?" Chen Wujun asked casually when he noticed that his eldest brother wasn't in the living room.

"He's in his room, and his foot is injured again! I don't know if he's been haunted, he keeps getting hurt lately..." Huang Meizhen said while serving the dishes, secretly planning to find someone to take a look at her eldest son.

"I'll go take a look!" Chen Wujun nodded and went into the room.

The eldest brother, Chen Wuhong, was lying on the bed, looking at him with resentment in his eyes.

"Did you do it? It must have been you!" Chen Wuhong's first sentence was a question, but his second sentence was an affirmation.

Chen Wujun closed the door, smiled, and said, "What happened to your foot again? How could you be so careless?"

"Stop pretending!" Seeing the smile on Chen Wujun's face, Chen Wuhong's anger suddenly exploded, and he growled in a low voice:
"Don't think I don't know, you're the one who had it done! Believe me or not, I'll tell Mom and Dad right now? You're the one who collated the picture, Chen Wujun!"

Chen Wujun still had a smile on his face, his eyes fixed on his eldest brother: "Why are you so angry? Big brother, I'm doing this for your own good!"

He then bent down, staring intently into the boss's eyes, his smile gradually fading, his eyes turning fierce: "I'm afraid I might beat you to death one day!"

Looking into Chen Wujun's eyes, the eldest brother felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over him from head to toe, making him tremble all over. His anger vanished without a trace, like a balloon being punctured by a needle.

"I'm doing this for you, for Mom and Dad," Chen Wujun said gently, the fierceness in his eyes fading, as he patted his eldest brother's chest.

"Isn't this good? Staying home every day, eating hot meals, watching TV, and spending time with my parents..."

"Second brother, please let me go, okay? I won't gamble anymore, I really won't gamble anymore... If I gamble again, you can throw me off the building..." Chen Wuhong pleaded pitifully.

"I don't believe you!" Chen Wujun said lightly.

"But don't worry too much, you should be able to go out in a while."

A few months later, he found a way to get more money and sent his parents out of the city.

At that point, he won't be able to control the boss anymore.

"You should stay home and rest well these days. What did the doctor say this time?"

Chen Wuhong just gritted his teeth and stared at Chen Wujun without saying a word.

Chen Wujun shrugged, opened the door, and left, leaving behind a casual remark:
"Take good care of yourself."

"How's your foot, Boss? How could you be so careless?" Chen Wujun asked again, putting on the act of a good younger brother.

"The doctor said his ankle injury is quite serious, involving broken bones and tendons, and he'll need at least two months to recover... Tomorrow I'll go find Aunt Liu to take a look at him, to see if he's been cursed..." Huang Meizhen said worriedly.

Chen Hanliang also felt that this matter was a bit strange. He got injured as soon as he went out, as if he was being watched by something, so he did not object.

"After Aunt Liu finishes reading, I'll go to the Tin Hau Temple to pray and ask for a talisman."

……

For the next few days, Chen Wujun continued to practice martial arts during the day and go to the martial arts school at night.

He practically wore out the book on combat techniques, "Cold Steel," that he had at home.

He felt that if he had studied this hard when he was in school, he wouldn't have had to skip high school.

However, when he was in school, he would get sleepy as soon as he looked at those books, and he couldn't even keep his eyes open.

He could completely immerse himself in these martial arts books, reading them for hours on end.

He didn't stop practicing martial arts until three days before the competition. He even stopped going to A-Yue's place and stood on the rooftop, staring blankly at the city center in the distance.

Two days before the competition, Chen Wujun stood on the rooftop, stretched out his five fingers, and looked at the city center through the gaps between his fingers, as if he could grasp it with his palm.

He felt he could do it, he just needed some time.

The phone rang, and Chen Wujun answered it, only to hear Shark Nine's voice: "Junzi, come downstairs! Come to Dongzheng Road."

As Chen Wujun went downstairs and left the walled city, she saw Shark Nine's luxury car parked by the roadside. "Senior Sister, where are we going?" Chen Wujun asked as she got into the car.

"Let me show you the view! Have you ever looked down from Feie Mountain?" Shark Nine smiled, lit a cigarette, and tossed the cigarette case to Chen Wujun.

"No." Chen Wujun said as he lit a cigarette.

“Then you should take a look,” Shark Nine said with a smile.

The car arrived at the parking lot on Zhashan Road. After the two got out of the car, there were several other people hiking and playing around.

The moment the two got out of the car, they attracted a lot of attention.

Chen Wujun has now grown to 1.75 meters tall, and his muscles fill out his shirt, giving him a powerful and energetic look.

Although Shark Nine was wearing flat shoes, he was still half a head taller than him. Wearing dress pants and a shirt, his legs looked even longer. With his short hair and heroic features, he looked very dashing.

The two followed the path all the way to the top of Feie Mountain, where there is a protruding platform that is a famous suicide spot.

The view here is incredibly expansive. You can see Xianglu Peak in front of you, the port and the vast sea in the distance, and look down at half of the city center, where high-rise buildings stand everywhere.

The entire Beigang area of ​​the East Ninth District is within sight.

Standing here, Chen Wujun felt his heart expand and his mind be at ease. A mountain breeze blew by, bringing him a sense of comfort.

"How about it? Isn't the scenery here nice?" Shark Nine looked at the view ahead, turned his head and said with a smile.

"It is indeed magnificent." Chen Wujun felt that he had too few words when he needed them, and could hardly think of any other words besides magnificent.

“In some people’s eyes, the East Ninth District is a game of chess, and those big shots are there… manipulating the East Ninth District.” Shark Nine pointed to Incense Burner Peak in front of him, his eyes slightly narrowed.

That's the core area of ​​Beigang in the East Ninth District, where the top people in the East Ninth District, including politicians and wealthy foreigners, all live.

In the East Ninth District, foreigners hold the highest status.

These Huayan people will face restrictions whether they engage in politics or other activities.

Even the wealthiest individuals are far less influential and powerful than those foreign billionaires.

"Actually, the world is quite unfair. They are born with everything: wealth and status. They can turn the world upside down with a wave of their hand, while we are just small people struggling to survive to them. They may not even see us."

“Even Master Xin, those bigwigs, and those rich guys are just ants in their eyes.”

“I often think… the East Ninth District is so big, there should be a place for me!”

Shark Nine spreads her arms wide, as if to embrace the North Port in front of her. Her intention is clearly not the East Ninth District, but the Incense Burner Peak opposite. She wants to become a big shot, she wants to become the one who controls the chessboard.

"Senior sister, we will!" Hearing Shark Nine's bold words, Chen Wujun felt a surge of pride.

He felt that he deserved a place there too.

"Of course!" Shark Nine laughed heartily, patted Chen Wujun on the shoulder, and then sat down on the edge of the platform, hundreds of meters above the ground.

Chen Wujun stood there gazing into the distance.

He used to only look at the small area of ​​the walled city, gazing into the distance from within it.

Standing here, however, allowed his perspective to jump out of the Walled City for the first time. Instead of looking up from the top of the Walled City as before, he was now overlooking the city center of the East Nine Districts.

The duel two days later is nothing more than a small obstacle compared to all that's happening now.

After standing there for a long time, Chen Wujun seemed to have a sudden realization. He twisted and snapped his feet, forming a "Azure Dragon Probing Claw" pose. Then, his feet moved downwards, and with each change in his palm, his sleeves fluttered in the air, making a crackling sound like the wind whipping up a flag.

Shark Nine turned his head, a smile on his face, and squinted as he watched Chen Wujun practice his boxing.

As Chen Wujun moved, his Swimming Dragon Palm gradually revealed a fearless and powerful aura that seemed to break through everything.

Chen Wujun practiced for an hour before slowly stopping.

He didn't speak, but stood there looking into the distance, occasionally practicing the Swimming Dragon Palm again.

Gradually, Chen Wujun's Dragon Palm technique, which was once powerful and majestic, transformed into a domineering force that would kill anyone who stood in his way.

It wasn't until evening that the two of them started to walk back.

"Senior sister, you're sure to become a big shot!" Chen Wujun said as they walked.

I can too.

Upon hearing this, Shark Nine grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, his smile carrying a hint of bloodlust.

"By the way, Junzai, do you know that a big scalper recently bet 20 million on Yu Wei?" Shark Nine suddenly asked.

"I've heard about it, but I don't know who it is. Do you know, Senior Sister?" Chen Wujun asked.

“It’s Fifth Uncle!” Shark Nine said playfully.

"It seems he's convinced that I killed Old Ghost Bing's entire family!"

“Then he should die. He and Old Guibing are so close, he might as well go down and join him!” Chen Wujun said matter-of-factly, squinting his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Shark Nine's eyes showed a hint of approval.

She brought Junzai here today in the hope that he could make a breakthrough in his mindset before the gambling battle.

Junzi never disappointed her.

She liked Junzai's idea; it suited her perfectly.

Chen Wujun returned to the stronghold and went straight to the rooftop. However, instead of gazing at the distant city center, he continuously practiced the Swimming Dragon Palm on the rooftop, his eyes growing brighter and his aura becoming stronger.
