“Wait! I refuse to accept this!”
Wang Chong shouted, lying on the ground with Zhushi Jiu’s finger pointing at his nose tip.
“I just made a small mistake, otherwise I wouldn’t have lost so easily!”
In fact, he was more concerned about the process of his defeat, rather than the result itself.
He had originally thought that his pretentious humility, saying he only knew a bit of martial arts, would make Zhushi Jiu underestimate him and not use his full strength, giving him a chance to counterattack.
Yes, Wang Chong had even thought of counterattacking.
But this was just one of life’s three major illusions.
In reality, Wang Chong looked like a total failure in his fight against Zhushi Jiu, like someone who knew nothing and had uncoordinated limbs.
“Let’s try again! I want to try again!”
“Alright, let’s try again.”
Zhushi Jiu didn’t care.
Wang Chong was stunned.
Then he calmed down a bit and looked at the bodyguards standing by the side, ready to “rescue” him.
“What are you doing?”
They wanted to say something like “let’s try again”, but they had all seen clearly how Wang Chong was completely crushed, and it was even more embarrassing for their boss that he didn’t even know what was happening.
The bodyguards didn’t know what to say, so they kept silent.
Wang Chong felt puzzled and looked back at Zhushi Jiu: “Let’s try again.”
Zhushi Jiu pulled Wang Chong up and looked at the bodyguards: “I’ll control myself, I promise not to hurt him at all.”
Wang Chong came to his senses and realized something was off: “What did you do just now during our fight?”
“I’ll do it again, and you can try to react this time,” Zhushi Jiu said with a smile.
This was a bit too much!
Although Zhushi Jiu was telling the truth, Wang Chong still felt annoyed.
“Let’s try again!”
The bodyguards reluctantly retreated, watching their boss get thrashed again without being able to do anything.
Zhushi Jiu extended his hand towards Wang Chong again.
Wang Chong shook his head, and Zhushi Jiu repeated the same action as before.
How dare you look down on me?! Wang Chong was furious and made the same choice as before.
Meanwhile, Zhushi Jiu retreated a small step and dodged Wang Chong’s attack, then threw a slow punch towards Wang Chong’s throat, just like before.
The bodyguards watching from the side couldn’t bear to look, worried that if they continued to watch, they would have a heart attack.
On the other hand, the two Black Soldiers remained still, like statues, unaffected by anything.
Wang Chong saw clearly that Zhushi Jiu’s fist stopped at his throat and then changed to a finger poking at his temple.
He tried to dodge, but Zhushi Jiu tripped him up again.
Boom!
He fell to the ground again.
This time, Zhushi Jiu didn’t even pretend to attack his ribs, and ended the fight with fewer moves.
Wang Chong finally understood that this man was incredibly strong, at least not someone he could handle.
Haha, he had thought of counterattacking earlier…
“Brother Zhushi, you’re too strong!”
Wang Chong didn’t let Zhushi Jiu pull him up this time, instead, he got up himself, dusting off the dirt, not caring about being beaten.
Zhushi Jiu smiled humbly: “I’m just okay.”
Wang Chong shook his head: “No way, this isn’t just ‘okay’! If even you are just ‘okay’, then what am I? I’m not worthy of being a reserve Black Soldier!”
Wang Chong’s defeat was understandable, and Zhushi Jiu didn’t feel anything was off.
He recalled Wang Chong’s performance twice, and was convinced that Wang Chong wasn’t pretending.
Even a real Black Soldier wouldn’t be able to pretend to be an ordinary person in front of him, unless Wang Chong’s acting skills were really exceptional, which wasn’t possible.
Zhushi Jiu had two reasons for fighting Wang Chong.
Firstly, he didn’t think Xu Feng would randomly choose an external personnel to interact with him. He had previously suspected Wang Chong of being Xu Feng’s chess piece, but it turned out to be wrong.
He still needed to investigate what made Wang Chong special in Xu Feng’s eyes.
It wasn’t a joke; with Xu Feng’s information control, it was incredible that Wang Chong knew so much. Did Wang Chong’s worth really mean that much to Xu Feng’s organization?
The second reason was that he needed to gauge his own strength.
Just like being lost at sea without a reference point, if he didn’t have a benchmark, he couldn’t measure his current strength.
Ever since he got the injection, his opponents had been incredibly strong Black Soldiers, and “yesterday” he was still fighting Black Soldiers, which made his strength increase rapidly, but also made it hard for him to recognize his own strength.
He wanted to know how much stronger he was than ordinary people, so he needed a reference point. This reference point was Wang Chong.
However, Wang Chong couldn’t represent all ordinary people. Not to mention that Wang Chong felt the fight was too fast, even Zhushi Jiu thought Wang Chong’s performance was incompetent, unable to form a clear comparison with ordinary people.
He conceptually defined “ordinary people” as those who didn’t receive the injection.
He couldn’t determine Wang Chong’s strength among ordinary people, so he couldn’t establish a reference point.
Thus, Zhushi Jiu turned his attention to the bodyguards.
Wang Chong noticed Zhushi Jiu’s gaze and thought he was annoyed about winning too easily, so he said: “I admit I lost, I can’t beat you. But maybe my bodyguards can make you satisfied? Do you want to try?”
Zhushi Jiu asked: “What’s the level of your bodyguards?”
“Most of them are retired soldiers, some are mercenaries.”
Zhushi Jiu nodded: “Okay, let’s try with a mercenary first.”
Wang Chong almost choked on his own saliva.
What did he mean by “let’s try with a mercenary first”? Was he ordering dishes?!
“Yeah? You think it’s not enough? Then let’s try with a few more!”
Zhushi Jiu didn’t realize what was wrong with what he said, but seeing Wang Chong’s reaction, he knew his thinking had gone wrong again.
Before he could correct himself, Wang Chong asked the bodyguards, who were still furious about being belittled: “Who’s willing to come and fight with me?”
At once, the bodyguards stepped forward, shouting in unison: “I’ll do it!”
