Chapter 93

"Sure, Brother Mo." Lin Zhenqiang nodded and said.

"At first, I thought it was our Hung Gar, but I felt it wasn't quite the same."

"Did you feel that the move I used was better than your Hung Gar?" Mo Zhitao asked.

Lin Zhenqiang scratched his head and smiled foolishly, "Brother Mo, I haven't compared with you before. I don't know if your skills are better or if my Hung Gar is better."

"Come on, I'll let you have three moves. Attack me with all your strength." Mo Zhitao said to Lin Zhenqiang.

Lin Zhenqiang had heard from Li Bin about Mo Zhitao's prowess, so he didn't hold back. He called out, "Brother Mo, I'm going to attack."

After saying that, Lin Zhenqiang launched his move at Mo Zhitao. During this period, besides practicing the Hanyuan Gong, Lin Zhenqiang had been diligently practicing Hung Gar. After all, it was a Shaolin martial art and was not inferior to the martial arts of other sects. Unfortunately, the person who taught him Hung Gar had something to attend to and didn't teach for long, so he didn't grasp many of the true principles.

Mo Zhitao watched as Lin Zhenqiang threw a punch, the powerful and well-structured move. In Mo Zhitao's eyes, he could knock Lin Zhenqiang down with just a direct punch. However, since he said he would let Lin Zhenqiang have three moves, he had to keep his word.

"Second move," Lin Zhenqiang called out softly, and he launched his second move. But Mo Zhitao just lightly stepped to the left and dodged his attack.

When Lin Zhenqiang finished his third move, Mo Zhitao smiled and said, "Zhenqiang, you've had your three moves. Now it's my turn. I'll use the improved Hung Gar you just demonstrated. Be careful."

With that, Mo Zhitao lowered his stance and threw a punch at Lin Zhenqiang. Lin Zhenqiang clearly saw Mo Zhitao attack him with a punch, and the move didn't seem very powerful. He thought it wasn't that formidable.

But when Lin Zhenqiang exchanged a punch with Mo Zhitao, boom, Lin Zhenqiang was pushed back several meters.

"How about it? Did you feel the power of my punch?" Mo Zhitao asked with a smile.

"I only used two-tenths of my strength. If I used another two-tenths, you would be seriously injured and unable to get up."

"Ah, Brother Mo, your punch is really powerful," Lin Zhenqiang was surprised.

"Of course, I improved the moves based on what you did. It can be said that I took the strengths and made up for the weaknesses. So, you must learn these three moves. They will definitely be useful tomorrow night." Mo Zhitao said.

"Also, when you use these moves, use the Hanyuan Gong."

"Hanyuan Gong?"

Lin Zhenqiang said softly, "Brother Mo, isn't it that internal and external martial arts can't be used together?"

Mo Zhitao replied, "That's what they say, but I have no problem using them. Your Hanyuan Gong hasn't reached the level where it could harm you. I'll think about it more when I get home and see how to use internal energy with these moves. These moves should be able to use internal energy, and I can do it."

Lin Zhenqiang nodded. The martial arts Mo Zhitao taught them seemed to be external martial arts on the surface, but the last two moves were more like internal martial arts. It seemed that Mo Zhitao had already combined these two types of martial arts, so they should be able to use them.

Thus, Lin Zhenqiang and the others learned these three moves diligently. Mo Zhitao guided them as they learned. After they all memorized the three moves, Mo Zhitao instructed Li Bin to have the herbs delivered early the next morning, and then he went home.

The next morning, Mo Zhitao went to the hospital to see his scheduled patients, and then he went to Lin Zhenqiang's place. The herbs were already prepared, and Mo Zhitao had successfully refined some first-grade training pills, so the process wasn't very difficult. It used to take two hours to refine one, but now it only took one and a half hours.

Moreover, he used to need to rest after refining each training pill, but now he could refine another one in one go. By the time Mo Zhitao finished refining four training pills, it was already evening.

Now, Lin Zhenqiang and the others had returned. Mo Zhitao called Lin Zhenqiang over, "Zhenqiang, after you and Li Bin took the first-grade training pills, did you feel your internal energy improve?"

"Yes," Lin Zhenqiang nodded happily, "Our internal energy is much stronger than before, but it hasn't reached the first level, so the training pills were wasted."

Lin Zhenqiang heard that Mo Zhitao said each pill could now be sold for 250,000, which made him even more reluctant to use them.

"Don't worry, we'll earn it back in the future," Mo Zhitao said nonchalantly.

"Call them back quickly and have them take the training pills. I hope it can improve their internal energy a bit."

Lin Zhenqiang said, "They are already outside." Mo Zhitao had instructed them to return at this time to take the training pills, so they had come back early.

Mo Zhitao nodded and handed the four first-grade training pills to Lin Zhenqiang, "Have them take them and practice well. I'll be back later tonight."

The Zhenhai Gang, which Lin Zhenqiang and the others had founded, was located on Kaonong Street. This place was just their secret residence. Mo Zhitao didn't want others to know his identity too early, so he helped Lin Zhenqiang and the others from behind the scenes. At the same time, Mo Zhitao also wanted to see how strong Lin Zhenqiang and the others were.

At 8 PM, Lin Zhenqiang led four brothers to their hall on Kaonong Street. Li Bin had already been disguised and waiting there. Li Bin was indeed a master of disguise; if it weren't for Lin Zhenqiang recognizing his voice, he might not have recognized him.

"Li Bin, they haven't come yet, right?" Lin Zhenqiang asked.

"No," Li Bin shook his head.

"Brother Qiang, can we six hold them off?" one of the brothers asked.

"Don't worry, we're not pushovers, and our leader is watching from behind," Lin Zhenqiang said seriously. "But I don't want our leader to step in. If we don't have the strength, it's better to disband early."

Cen Tianjie, standing nearby, said, "That's right, Brother Qiang is right. We must not let our leader down."

About ten minutes later, about twenty people arrived outside.

"Lin Zhenqiang, you damn bastard, come out. Our hall master is here," a voice outside called out arrogantly.

Lin Zhenqiang glanced at Tao Mingguang and the others, and they all went out. When they saw that there were about twenty people, and some of them were holding iron pipes, they clenched their fists tightly. The number of opponents was much greater than theirs.

"Lin Zhenqiang, I haven't offended you. Why are you trying to eliminate me?" Lin Zhenqiang asked, clasping his hands.

"It's you?" The man on the right recognized Lin Zhenqiang and called out.

"Damn, I was looking for you. I didn't expect you to have taken over Kaonong Street." The man was Hu Shaohua. The last time he was ambushed by Mo Zhitao, he thought it was Li Bin. But he couldn't find Li Bin, and when he came to Kaonong Street to look for Lin Zhenqiang, Lin Zhenqiang wasn't there. It was Tian Yunqing and Liang Yelong who received him.

Lin Zhenqiang also recognized Hu Shaohua.

"It's me. We just want to make a living. Give us a chance," Lin Zhenqiang said.

"Heh heh heh, a chance is what we're giving you. This street will be under our control from now on. You have to pay us 300,000 every month. Also, you have to do whatever the Iron Sand Gang tells you to do," Hu Shaohua said.

"Impossible," Lin Zhenqiang shook his head.

Hu Shaohua said, "Alright, today I'll show you the power of the Iron Sand Gang. Even if you die, this place will still be under our control."

With that, Hu Shaohua waved his hand, and the twenty people rushed at Lin Zhenqiang and the others.

"Brothers, let's fight them," Lin Zhenqiang, facing so many enemies, was fearless. He led Li Bin and the others into the fray.

Hu Shaohua didn't join the fight. He had heard that there were only a few people at Lin Zhenqiang's place. However, they were capable, as they had driven away the thugs on Kaonong Street and taken control.

Kaonong Street was originally a chaotic place, but after Lin Zhenqiang and the others cleared out the thugs, some merchants saw the potential and moved their businesses there, making the area prosperous. The Iron Sand Gang saw the profit and sent Hu Shaohua to take control.

Seeing that there were only a few people at Lin Zhenqiang's place, Hu Shaohua didn't bring many gang members. He only brought twenty people, a few of whom knew martial arts.

However, the few who knew martial arts didn't join the fight. Hu Shaohua just let his other subordinates deal with Lin Zhenqiang.

Lin Zhenqiang and the others had taken the first-grade training pills, and their internal energy had improved. To end the fight quickly, they used the three moves Mo Zhitao had taught them. Although the Iron Sand Gang members were swinging iron pipes, they were pushed back step by step.

"Hmph, it seems they have some skills," Hu Shaohua clapped his hands. "Brothers, let's join in. They know martial arts."

Hu Shaohua's martial arts were already at the first level, and he had been frequently visiting Elder Zuo to curry favor. Elder Zuo had even taught him some special moves.

From the way Lin Zhenqiang and the others fought, Hu Shaohua could tell they knew martial arts but hadn't reached the first level. So, he wasn't worried. Before coming, he had even promised the hall master that he would definitely take control of the street.

Hu Shaohua roared and lunged at Lin Zhenqiang. He kicked Lin Zhenqiang with his left foot, the sharp kick slicing through the air and pushing Lin Zhenqiang back. The other Iron Sand Gang members also joined the fight, and Li Bin and the others felt the pressure.

Lin Zhenqiang barely dodged Hu Shaohua's attack. He took a half-step back with his right foot and launched his second move at Hu Shaohua. Lin Zhenqiang didn't know the name of the move; Mo Zhitao hadn't told him. He only knew that the second move was powerful and managed to block Hu Shaohua's palm strike.

"Heh heh heh, you have some skills? You Shaolin lay disciples are no match for us. If you don't surrender, we'll kill you," Hu Shaohua said with a sinister smile.

The Iron Sand Gang's most powerful move was the Iron Sand Palm, but only those at the hall master level and above could learn it. As a hall master, Hu Shaohua could only learn some general Iron Sand Gang martial arts. Damn, once he got some money, he would go to the Li family clinic and buy some training pills to definitely raise his martial arts to the second level.
