16: Chapter 16: Flaws in Boxing Technique!

Li Chen looked back at the old man, his pupils involuntarily shrinking slightly.

Despite the cloudiness in the old man’s eyes, they were sharp as swords, exuding a decisive killing aura that most people would not dare meet head-on.

However, Li Chen was no ordinary person; after all, he belonged to Class Seven.

He boldly met the old man’s sharp gaze head-on, without hesitation.

Seeing this, Moo Xi was taken aback.

It was known that when her grandfather was young, he was an unbeatable presence that had fought all over the world.

Not just an ordinary student, but even those elite upstarts who were making waves in the circles wouldn’t dare to look directly into her grandfather’s eyes with such brazenness.

After a moment of eye contact, the old man voluntarily averted his gaze from Li Chen, and even beads of sweat emerged on his deeply furrowed brow, as if he had just recovered from a severe illness.

“Grandfather!”

Moo Xi rushed over to support him upon noticing something off about his expression.

Seeing this, the corners of Li Chen’s mouth turned up slightly, and he gave a faint smile.

“Old master, is there something you wish to discuss?”

The old man, wearing a benevolent smile, said, “Just now, young brother, you pointed out that my granddaughter’s martial arts had twenty-two openings, including four that are rather fatal.

Is that really true?”

Li Chen raised an eyebrow and countered, “Do you think I’m joking?”

Moo Xi, seeing that Li Chen was being arrogant towards her grandfather, immediately glared with her almond-shaped eyes and scolded sharply, “What attitude is that?

Can’t you speak properly?”

Li Chen disdainfully rolled his eyes at her and coldly said, “This is my attitude all along.

If you don’t want to listen, then I’ll leave!”

With that, he shook his head and turned to walk away.

“Don’t walk away!”

The always pampered Moo Xi, having never been so neglected, instantly flushed with anger, shouted sharply, and reached out to block Li Chen’s path.

“Hmph, delusions of grandeur, an overestimation of your abilities!”

Li Chen gave a disdainful snort and casually swatted with his palm.

Moreover, his strike landed precisely on the Tiandu Acupoint below Moo Xi’s neck.

She took two stumbling steps back, her eyebrows inverted and eyes wide.

“Pah, you’re despicable and shameless!”

Li Chen dusted off his hands, smiled faintly, and said, “If I had used just a bit more force just now, I’m afraid you wouldn’t be able to stand and talk to me right now.

Moreover, you wouldn’t be as spirited as you are now, hurling insults at me, right?”

Hearing this, Moo Xi shuddered inwardly.

She carefully recalled the previous moment; Li Chen’s palm strike on her Tiandu Acupoint had indeed caused her entire body to tremble, and her mind went blank in an instant.

These thoughts prompted an involuntary shiver from her, and her pretty face turned pale as if she had just witnessed something terrifying.

However, to expect the proud and high-spirited Lady Moo to admit her mistake was utterly impossible.

“Hmph, all talk!”

“Little Xi, do not be disrespectful!”

The old man admonished Moo Xi with a sharp warning, signaling her not to be so willful.

Despite her capriciousness, Moo Xi didn’t dare to go against her grandfather’s wishes; she rolled her eyes significantly at Li Chen and huffed, expressing her dissatisfaction.

The old man stepped forward and smiled amiably at Li Chen, saying, “Young friend, please do not take offense, my granddaughter has been spoilt since childhood, indulged by our family.

She might be a bit headstrong, but her heart is kind, and she has no malice!”

Li Chen nodded nonchalantly, waved his hand dismissively as if to say “the adult does not remember the deeds of the child,” and remarked, “Old master, rest assured, I won’t take a little girl’s words to heart!”

Moo Xi, hearing Li Chen refer to her as a little girl, huffed again, exclaiming:

“Who are you calling a little girl?”

Seeing the situation getting slightly awkward, the old man quickly coughed twice, “Cough, cough, Little Xi, stop being impolite!”

Having said that, he no longer paid attention to Moo Xi, instead turning toward Li Chen with cupped hands, saying, “It’s indeed lucky to meet a fellow traveler like you.

I am Moo Hee.

May I know your name, young friend, and who is your master?”

Li Chen, expression inscrutable, shook his head and said, “I am Li Chen.

My master is not part of this worldly dust and prefers not to have his name revealed.

I hope you understand.”

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, the old master Moo Hee regarded him with newfound reverence.

Perhaps, it was only those reclusive masters who could teach such an outstanding disciple—so young and yet so capable of looking down upon his peers.

“Young friend…

cough, cough…

cough, cough…”

Perhaps due to overexcitement, the old man suddenly coughed violently before he could finish his sentence.

“Grandfather!” Moo Xi tenderly assisted him, her clear eyes slightly moist, gently patting the old master’s back.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, this is just an old problem, a pill will fix it!”

Despite difficulty, the old man Moo Hee reassured his granddaughter with a weak voice.

The bodyguard named Ruifeng also quickly took out a capsule he was carrying and handed it over.

Moo Hee washed down the capsule with some mineral water.

After a while, the pallor of his face began to recover a touch of rosiness.

Seeing this, Li Chen’s pupils contracted slightly, with a sharp glint that was difficult to detect.

Now, before him, the old master’s internal organs, blood vessels, and bones were all visibly clear.

He noticed that there was significant indentation in the old man’s left atrium, probably resulting from a severe impact, and there were signs of necrosis.

The medicine he had just taken was most likely an emergency remedy for heart disease.

But it seemed to be just a temporary solution, not a cure.

Based on the current trajectory, Li Chen was certain that in three months, perhaps a half year at most, the old man would surely pass away and be returned to the earth.

“Old master, it appears you have suffered a heavy blow to your left atrium in the past.

If I’m not mistaken, it happened around thirty years ago.”

After speaking, Li Chen looked inquisitively at the old master Moo Hee.
