Chapter 54

"Ah, I remember, it's the landlord."

After thinking for a moment, Li Wuching finally remembered that the person being beaten outside the door was the landlord.

When he first came to Beijing, Li Wuching lived in a village in the city, in a house where the landlord was a middle-aged woman in her fifties, who was somewhat harsh.

Li Wuching's relationship with the landlord was not very good. When they met, nodding was the best they could do, and not having a falling out was considered good.

Hearing the landlord being beaten outside, Li Wuching gloated for a while before opening the door and going out.

In the narrow corridor outside the door, a few hooligans were beating up a middle-aged woman, kicking and punching her. At first, the woman was cursing loudly, but later, she was only groaning.

"Oh my, what's going on? Why are they fighting?"

Li Wuching feigned surprise.

"Hey, boss, why is there another person coming out of the room?"

"Oh, we seem to have hit the wrong person."

"What do you mean, 'seem'? We definitely hit the wrong person. The target was a man, but we beat up a woman."

...

The hooligans were incredibly surprised. After sorting out the situation, they were a bit stunned.

Hearing their conversation, Li Wuching was almost laughing out loud inside. He didn't know who had hired such fools, whose combat ability was probably negative.

Laughing inwardly, Li Wuching's expression naturally showed it. The "boss" saw this, coldly snorted, and said in a deep voice, "What, kid, are you happy about this?"

"Yeah, your team is so amusing. My friends and I are stunned."

Li Wuching smiled faintly, mocking them.

The "boss's" face darkened. He waved his right arm, pointed at Li Wuching, and shouted, "Brothers, attack him, beat him up."

"Sure."

"No problem."

"Don't worry, boss, we'll beat him so badly that even his mother won't recognize him."

With their loud shouts, the hooligans abandoned the landlord and rushed at Li Wuching.

In the past, Li Wuching would have only been able to take a beating passively. Even if he didn't break any bones, he would have been bruised and swollen.

But now, in Li Wuching's eyes, the hooligans had no skills at all, full of flaws from head to toe, with countless vulnerabilities.

Although he had only learned a few martial arts through the main god's divine nature, Li Wuching had also understood some martial arts theories, and his perspective had changed qualitatively, far surpassing his previous self.

Standing calmly in place, Li Wuching waited until the hooligans were close before he moved. He punched one of them, making his face a mess, and then followed up with a series of punches, sending all the hooligans flying with their cries of pain.

The unnamed boxing technique at the first level, at zero rank, was not very powerful, but it was enough to deal with these small hooligans without needing to use the Northern Mystic True Qi.

This outcome was far beyond the "boss's" expectations. Shocked, he said, "Kid, I didn't expect you to be a martial artist. I misjudged you. Come, let's exchange a few moves."

Sheng Zhi was in his prime, and when he was young, he loved martial arts. He had learned some basic skills from various martial arts officials in the capital, but not deeply.

Even so, his combat ability was not weak. He could handle three to five big men without any problem. Seeing that Li Wuching also knew martial arts, he became very interested.

From Sheng Zhi's steps, Li Wuching could tell that this person had some skills. He smiled and said, "You seem to be a martial artist too. Let's have a match."

"Good, take this."

Sheng Zhi shouted and stepped forward.

As soon as he came close, Sheng Zhi threw a punch, which whistled through the air with astonishing force. Li Wuching did not dodge or dodge, but punched back, meeting Sheng Zhi's punch head-on.

Sheng Zhi's punch was straightforward, relying on brute strength. Li Wuching, however, was different. When his punch met Sheng Zhi's, it suddenly vibrated.

This sent Sheng Zhi flying back. Li Wuching stepped forward and followed up with another punch, which hit Sheng Zhi's chest with a loud "bang."

There was a "crack," and Sheng Zhi groaned, retreating and kneeling on the ground, his face showing pain and cold sweat on his forehead.

"Boss, boss."

"Boss, are you okay?"

"Boss, how are you?"

The hooligans who had fallen to the ground quickly got up, rushed to Sheng Zhi's side, and supported him, asking with concern, their expressions anxious.

When dealing with ordinary hooligans, Li Wuching had been quite restrained, only knocking them down without causing serious injuries.

But with Sheng Zhi, he used a bit more force, and Sheng Zhi could not withstand it, breaking several bones.

With the help of his subordinates, Sheng Zhi struggled to stand up, bowed to Li Wuching, and said through the pain, "Brother, you're strong. I admit defeat. Let's part ways for now, and if we meet again, it will be by chance."

He gave his subordinates a look, and they prepared to leave.

"Wait!"

Li Wuching stepped forward and shouted.

Sheng Zhi slowly turned around, a hint of panic in his eyes, and said勉强道, "What, we're like this, brother, are you still not satisfied? Do you want a fight to the death?"

"Ha ha, a fight to the death?"

Li Wuching laughed lightly and said disdainfully, "You're not qualified."

Although Li Wuching's words were harsh, they were true. Even though Sheng Zhi and his group looked embarrassed, they did not dare to argue, only gritting their teeth.

Li Wuching's expression turned serious, and he said, "I want to ask you, who sent you to deal with me?"

Hesitating for a moment, Sheng Zhi asked, "If I tell you, can we leave?"

Li Wuching nodded, "Yes."

"Alright, I won't hide it. The person is a company manager, surnamed Wen, named Wen Mengfei."

Sheng Zhi said straightforwardly.

Li Wuching's face darkened, thinking to himself: It's actually Old Monster Wen. You scoundrel, since you want to fight me, I won't let you off easily.

Seeing Li Wuching's expression, Sheng Zhi's heart sank, and he asked cautiously, "Brother, can we go now?"

Li Wuching waved his hand, impatiently saying, "Go, go."

With these words, Sheng Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and his subordinates, like they had been pardoned, helped him up and hurried away.

Hearing the continuous groans, Li Wuching turned his attention to the landlord and asked with a smile, "Landlord, are you okay?"

Ultimately, Sheng Zhi's subordinates did not want to cause a big incident, so they had their limits when beating people. Although the landlord was in pain, she did not have serious injuries.

Enduring the pain, the landlord screeched, "Xiao Li, look at the trouble you've caused. You even got me beaten. You must pay for my medical expenses, or you'll have to move out."
