Chen Sheng was inexplicably nervous.
Tiger Bro, this name didn't sound like a good person at first hearing.
Could the muffled sound in the room be someone being beaten up?
Would he be surrounded by a group of men in black once he entered and killed if he didn't join?!
Thinking of this,
Cold sweat dripped from Chen Sheng's forehead, and his body unconsciously shuddered.
He was just a humble unemployed worker who had never witnessed such a scene.
"Little Chen, what are you staring at? Come in."
Just as Chen Sheng hesitated whether to retreat or not, Strong Bro's voice sounded, interrupting his thoughts.
The opponent was looking at him with a baffled expression.
"Oh, oh...I'm coming."
Chen Sheng clenched his fists, secretly cheering himself up.
Afterward,
He took a deep breath and stepped into the room.
As expected!
Upon entering the room, Chen Sheng saw a man covered in scars, standing shirtless in the center of the room, staring at him.
The fierce aura hit him in the face, almost suffocating him.
In just an instant,
Chen Sheng felt goosebumps all over his body about to explode.
He immediately wanted to turn around and leave.
Bang!
However,
The room was already closed by Strong Bro behind him.
It's over!
Chen Sheng's heart skipped a beat.
His fate was sealed!
Having the Golden Finger but lacking vigilance.
Chen Sheng, Chen Sheng,
You're too foolish!
Chen Sheng closed his eyes, his facial expressions changing rapidly, making the two people in front of him confused.
"Brother Little Chen..."
Tiger Bro hesitated to speak.
"Tiger Bro, right? Hi, nice to meet you."
Chen Sheng went up and shook hands with Li Chenghu, shaking them vigorously.
He forced a smile on his face,
Which was even more miserable than crying.
"Little brother just remembered, the clothes hanging at home aren't dry yet, I'm really sorry I can't have a chat with Tiger Bro."
Saying that, Chen Sheng naturally turned around and walked to the door, preparing to twist the door handle.
"I'll entertain Tiger Bro another day!"
Click.
The door had a smart lock,
Without a sensor key, Chen Sheng couldn't open it.
A drop of cold sweat slowly dripped from Chen Sheng's forehead, who was feigning a smile.
Watching this scene,
Tiger Bro and Strong Bro looked at each other.
Tiger Bro looked both amused and annoyed.
Strong Bro covered his forehead and sighed deeply.
Seeing the two of them react this way, Chen Sheng was stunned for a moment.
Then,
"Little Chen, right? Wait for me for a moment."
Tiger Bro gave Chen Sheng a gentle smile, then turned and walked to the corner of the room, taking a business card from his backpack and handing it to Chen Sheng.
Chen Sheng took a look.
[Quanjiang Martial Arts Association Committee Member]
[Quanjiang Xingwu Hall]
[Li Chenghu]
Upon seeing this business card,
Chen Sheng immediately realized what a big joke he had just made.
He looked to Strong Bro for help.
Strong Bro simply looked up at the sky, ignoring him.
Too embarrassing.
It was a shame that he had such high hopes for this kid earlier.
But he came up and made such a scene.
It's simply outrageous.
Fortunately,
Although Li Chenghu looked fierce on the surface,
His style of doing things was very different from his appearance.
"It's okay, I've been misunderstood many times before, not just once or twice because of you."
"Little Chen, sit up, let's talk about something important."
He smiled and waved his hand, signaling that he didn't mind, and walked towards the tea table in the corner of the room.
Seeing this, Chen Sheng also got up from the ground and sat down at the table with Strong Bro.
Tiger Bro starts to make tea.
"Little Chen, the next question might be a bit presumptuous."
"If you feel uncomfortable, you don't have to answer."
Li Chenghu said with a grin as he made tea.
It seemed like he was just chatting with a friend.
At first, Chen Sheng, who was somewhat restrained, was affected and his mind unconsciously relaxed.
He slowly nodded.
"Has the change in your body just started recently?"
However,
The first question from Li Chenghu made Chen Sheng's heart shudder.
His panel did indeed only appear recently.
If it wasn't for the panel, perhaps he wouldn't have made such quick progress in training his body, and he wouldn't be noticed by Strong Bro.
But,
How did Tiger Bro in front of him know?
Could it be... there are more people with panels than just him?
Just as Chen Sheng was thinking about how to answer,
Li Chenghu seemed to see his doubts, and smiled slightly without pressing further.
"It's okay if you don't answer."
"But I can answer some of the doubts in your heart."
As soon as this remark was made,
Chen Sheng's eyes were immediately attracted to him.
However, Li Chenghu didn't continue speaking immediately.
He finished making tea and poured it for Chen Sheng and Strong Bro.
After that,
He picked up the teacup and took a sip with his eyes squinted.
Chen Sheng wasn't in a hurry either.
He followed suit and took a sip of tea.
It wasn't until then,
Li Chenghu across the table spoke again.
"Do you know about 'Qi'?"
"Qi?"
Chen Sheng questioned with confusion.
"Qi is a kind of energy."
"Throughout ancient and modern times, it has had many names."
"Inner strength, True Qi, and Mana, are all synonyms for Qi."
"These are all real but have been possessed and controlled by only a tiny number of people with extraordinary talents from ancient times to the present."
It's starting! The classic scene in novels where the protagonist, who once had an ordinary life, witnesses the true extraordinary power of the world guided by a mysterious figure.
From then on, he embarks on his grand and epic life journey.
Hearing this, Chen Sheng's eyes brightened, and he immediately became excited.
He shamelessly compared himself to the protagonist at the same time.
He hastily asked Li Chenghu.
"Tiger Bro, are you saying that I'm one of those legendary chosen ones who can control and harness Qi, and that's why you found me?"
"No, not exactly."
Reality is often cruel.
Li Chenghu's reply, like a bucket of cold water, splashed onto Chen Sheng's head.
In less than a second,
Chen Sheng experienced the ups and downs of life.
His expression went directly from excitement to disappointment.
"Don't be disappointed yet, I haven't finished my story."
Li Chenghu changed the subject.
Only then did Chen Sheng regain his spirits and prepare to listen to Li Chenghu continue.
"Qi, although it is an energy existing on Blue Star."
"However, it exhibits tidal properties."
"In our living environment, the concentration of Qi is not constant."
"As time goes by, it will keep rising until it reaches its peak, and then it will start to decline, continuing in cycles."
"In history, those eras in which many talents were born, those periods with a high number of extraordinary people, were the 'tide rising periods' of Qi."
"For hundreds of years before this, the concentration of Qi had been at a low level, which was the longest period of low Qi."
"But since half a year ago, the tide rising period began, and the concentration of Qi has been increasing at an unprecedented speed."
"Even now, it is still rising, far exceeding any previous tide rising periods."
Upon hearing this,
Chen Sheng suddenly understood.
"Tiger Bro, do you mean... Spiritual Qi Awakening??"
