<h4>Chapter 1337: Chapter 1645: Sparring in Martial Arts</h4>


    A little over a week has passed in the blink of an eye.


    Just two days ago, Ling Chen flew back to East Sea City. Currently, the situation in Beijing has stabilized, and he no longer needs to stay there. Moreover, Nanrong Wanqing had returned to East Sea City a week earlier.


    Having stayed in Beijing for a while, it was time toe back and have a look.


    Now, Dragon Tiger Hall is on track, overpowering the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion to be the new overlord in the Martial Arts world. Besides, Falcon Private Security Company and other businesses are doing very well. In terms of business, Ling Chen is an outsider, so while in Beijing, he specifically hired several professional managers to help run thepany and the newly opened investmentpany.


    Returning to his role as a hands-off manager, Ling Chen enjoyed a leisurely life, spending time at home with his mom, as well as his grandparents. When he felt restless, he would drive to the base or Dragon Tiger Hall for a stroll, chat with his pals, and boast a bit.


    Of course, apart from aid-back lifestyle, Ling Chen didn’t forget to take care of some serious matters. As the saying goes, prepare for danger in times of peace. Although there is no sense of threat recently, who knows what might happen in the future?


    The day they captured Qin Chuan and Su He, Ling Chen witnessed Zhang Zhongfeng’s archery skills. With just Zhang Zhongfeng’s bow and arrow, they severely injured Su He. If there had been a few more bows, they might have had a chance to keep Su He there.


    Therefore, after returning to East Sea City this time, Ling Chen discussed with Zhang Zhongfeng and decided to set up a team specializing in archery training at Dragon Tiger Hall, with Zhang Zhongfeng personally serving as the instructor.


    It must be said, the title of "Arrow God" is very attractive. As soon as the news spread, dozens of people flocked to apply. Finally, after Zhang Zhongfeng personally screened them, thirty people were selected.


    Ling Chen didn’t require these people to be Arrow Gods like Zhang Zhongfeng; it would be enough if they had one-third of Zhang Zhongfeng’s skills. At that point, these people would be a major force of Dragon Tiger Hall.


    "Again!"


    In the martial arts training ground of Dragon Tiger Hall, Ling Chen was sparring with Xu Ming. The two of them were going back and forth, each using ny percent of their strength. Facing Xu Ming, Ling Chen didn’t dare to be careless. After knowing each other for so long, Ling Chen had a deep understanding of Xu Ming’s strength. Among the crowd, apart from Tong Zhentian, Chen Junfeng, and Ji Gang, the strongest was Xu Ming.


    Tong Zhentian and the other two are all Heavenly List experts, so their strength needs no exnation. As for Xu Ming, he is likely the one closest to the Heavenly List level, needing just an opportunity to break through and be a Heavenly List expert.


    Under Ling Chen’s storm-like attacks, Xu Ming stood like a sturdy pine, effortlessly resolving all attacks with ease.


    After more than a dozen moves, Ling Chen raised an eyebrow, suddenly withdrew, shook his head, and said, "Second Brother, you’re defending too resolutely, not giving me any chance."


    Xu Ming smiled faintly, "You can only me your strength for being too weak. Don’t you still have some trump cards? Why not use them all and see if you can break my defense?"


    Hearing this, Ling Chen nodded and said, "Alright, then don’t me me for hitting too hard." With that, Ling Chen’s foot slipped, and his body instantaneously transformed into an afterimage, disappearing from his original spot.


    "Heaven and Earth Reversal!"


    In an instant, Ling Chen’s figure multiplied into three, moving around Xu Ming, indistinguishable and confusing.


    Watching the rapidly moving afterimage in front of him, Xu Ming squinted slightly, refraining from rash actions. Instead, he focused carefully, trying to identify Ling Chen’s exact position.


    "Big Brother, do you think Second Brother can see through it?" Yuan Yun and others stood by, discussing with a smile.


    "It’s hard to say. Heaven and Earth Reversal is the ultimate skill of the Nine Yang Qiankun Step. It’s confusingly real and fake. Your Second Brother is strong, but he’s not a Heavenly List expert, so it might be hard to spot any w."


    After a pause, Qiu Yong continued, "Didn’t any of you notice? Sixth Brother has improved again. Previously, when he sparred with Second Brother, he could onlyst thirty rounds at most, but now he’s sustaining over seventy rounds, and still has energy to continue."


    Hearing this, Xia Yue eximed, "Big Brother, judging by what you said, Sixth Brother’s improvement is quite significant."


    "Indeed." Qiu Yong nodded, "His improvement is truly rapid. At his current rate, it’s not impossible for him to enter the Heavenly List in time."


    Bang!


    Amidst the conversation, a loud sound echoed from the training ground. They saw two figures rapidly retreating. Looking closely, they found Xu Ming and Ling Chen each stepping back over ten steps.


    Seeing this, Yuan Yun couldn’t help being shocked, opening his mouth wide, "Second Brother actually broke through Sixth Brother’s Heaven and Earth Reversal."


    Qiu Yong chuckled, "It seems your Second Brother has touched the threshold of the Heavenly List realm. Soon, our group of eight oddities might give birth to a Heavenly List expert."


    With that, Qiu Yong stepped forward and said, "Alright, let’s end the sparring here. Sixth Brother, you’ve improved a lot, but you still need to work hard."


    Ling Chen rubbed his nose, looking at Xu Ming opposite him, "Second Brother, how about we go again?"


    Hearing this, Xu Ming gave Ling Chen an unexpected look, "Sixth Brother, besides Heaven and Earth Reversal, do you have other tricks up your sleeve?"


    Ling Chen smiled mysteriously, "Well... it’s a secret for now. So, are you in or not?"


    Xu Ming hesitated for a moment; then Yuan Yun shouted loudly from outside the training ground, "Second Brother, since this kid is asking for a beating, don’t be polite, and teach him a good lesson."


    Seeing the smile on Ling Chen’s face, Xu Ming thought for a moment, and gently nodded, "Alright, since you want to continue, I’ll see it through to the end. Come on! Show me what hidden cards you have."


    "Then you better watch closely, and don’t me me if you get hurtter," Ling Chen slightly raised the corner of his mouth, inclined his body a little, ready to charge forward.


    As everyone’s eyes focused on Ling Chen, suddenly, his legs elerated, skimming across the ground like a dragonfly touching water, rushing towards Xu Ming like an arrow leaving a bowstring.


    Seeing Ling Chen approaching him, Xu Ming squinted his eyes slightly, observing Ling Chen’s every movement.


    At that moment, when Ling Chen almost reached Xu Ming, he suddenly stopped, swung his fists, lowered his waist, took a deep breath, and assumed a strange posture.


    Seeing Ling Chen’s odd actions, Qiu Yong and others couldn’t help being surprised. They’ve known each other for so long, but never seen such a weird move before. Additionally, the move looked kind of...ical!
