Huo Wenchang was working with mud by the reservoir when he heard a shout from the top of the embankment.
"Huo Wenchang, someone is looking for you! Hurry up…"
"Got it."
Huo Wenchang replied irritably, tossed his bucket of mud aside, washed his hands, and climbed up the embankment.
Before he could steady himself, he was kicked squarely in the face by Huo Shen.
Tumbling down the embankment, he landed right in the bucket of mud he had just discarded.
After swallowing several mouthfuls of muddy water, Huo Wenchang struggled to his feet, wiped the mud off his face, and roared.
"Huo Shen, what the hell are you doing coming to my place and going crazy?"
Huo Shen took off his shirt and hung it on a nearby tree branch before loosening his neck.
Taking a few steps forward, he grabbed Huo Wenchang's collar, hoisted him up, and landed a punch.
"Didn't I tell you? If you competed openly and fairly, I would have respected you somewhat."
