Talented individuals all have their own personalities, be it arrogance, disdain, or flamboyance. In extraordinary tales, their exceptional abilities match these quirky traits. This personality becomes an interesting label that highlights their legendary aura, making for good storytelling.
But that's for the story readers.
When this kind of personality truly confronts you in reality.
It's infuriating!
Chu Ming was undoubtedly such a character with a strong personality. His self-confidence had skyrocketed, almost to the point of arrogance. Perhaps it was because he had recently defeated all the coaches at the martial arts hall, leading him to look down on the students from other training classes. Top students like Wang Heng and Zhou Bing would, in a few days, also become part of the elite class and his competitors.
So, Chu Ming decided to show them who's boss first.
He knew that there were people watching him spar with Wang Heng, and he was aware that Zhou Bing was calling others, like Bai Xiao, to watch the fight. This was intentional on Chu Ming's part. He wanted the other top students who would join the elite class to see how he was dominating and defeating Wang Heng.
Chu Ming wanted to intimidate everyone!
He was sending them a message beforehand.
He would undoubtedly become the number one in the elite class.
This intense desire to win was something Chu Ming did not bother to conceal.
The arrogance of the incompetent is called presumptuousness.
The arrogance of the competent is called unrestrained!
"Bai Xiao, it seems that I was wrong before."
"To let you approach Chu Ming to learn Sandboxing? This guy is anything but down-to-earth, he's super arrogant!" Zhou Bing cracked his knuckles with a pop.
"I never said that I needed to learn Sandboxing from him."
Bai Xiao was expressionless, his dark pupils calm yet deep.
Chu Ming seemed to have reached Perfection in Sandboxing.
But so had Bai Xiao.
He looked at the retina display in front of him, at the Sandboxing Perfection badge in his professional skills, completely fearless. His next step was Perfection. The physique enhancement and combat skill techniques that came with Sandboxing Perfection would be terrifying.
A skill that required eight Potential Points to improve.
One need only think a little to realize how exaggerated that boost would be.
"I hate your eyes."
In the training hall, Chu Ming's glance swept over Zhou Bing and the other two, finally resting on Bai Xiao. For some reason, he felt that silent and calm Bai Xiao had more guts than an enraged Zhou Bing and Kang Li.
That indescribable self-confidence, like he had an ace up his sleeve, was bland yet forceful.
Disgusting.
"I also hate the look in your eyes."
Bai Xiao did not like the aggressive, attacking gaze of others. Chu Ming's way of looking at people was like shooting two ice arrows directly into their eyes.
Just like a lion that brazenly invades the territory of other fierce beasts. The timid might be pushed back, cowering in a corner. But the strong would be enraged, determined to make the invader pay a heavy price.
"Hmph, I'll be waiting for you in the elite class." Chu Ming looked at the few coaches who were already walking over in the distance and sneered at everyone with a cold laugh.
Five minutes later, it was all over.
Bai Xiao, Zhou Bing, and Kang Li, the three of them stood at the entrance of the White Bird Martial Arts Hall.
"He's really arrogant! How can someone be this conceited? Not even sparing the spectators? Damn, this kid's just too pompous..."
Zhou Bing touched his bald head and vented with swearing.
"Chu Ming obviously knows that we will become members of the White Bird Martial Arts Hall's elite class, so he wanted to give us a warning in advance," said Kang Li with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, surprisingly calm. "And the victor's arrogance is never called madness; it's called having a personality. As long as he can back up his arrogant words later, fulfill what he's boasted about, then he might actually be admired and respected..."
```
Just like those Boxing Kings on the professional circuits, who would taunt each other and even call out the entire Combat Skills ring, claiming no one was worthy to be their opponent. Once they truly achieved that, they were the real deal. It was simply about victory and defeat.
"Hmph..."
Zhou Bing originally came for the fun but ended up being unexpectedly affected, feeling a pent-up frustration: "When I get to the elite class, I'll have a proper match with him... Have I, who have trained in boxing for so many years, got any reason to fear him?"
After finishing his words, Zhou Bing's gaze shifted, looking toward Bai Xiao.
There was a brief silence before he took the initiative to apologize.
"Right, Bai Xiao, sorry, my bad."
"I only intended to invite you over for some fun, but I didn't expect Chu Ming to lash out like a rabid dog, getting you in trouble along with us. If he targets you later on, just tell me, and I'll deal with him! Damn, does he dare to underestimate me?"
In Zhou Bing's mind, Bai Xiao's strength was still at the level of the last power test, 84kg. Although punching power wasn't everything, it was an important measure of combat ability. Clearly, Bai Xiao was the weakest among the three. If Chu Ming targeted him, he might destroy him even more effortlessly than he did with Wang Heng. Given his arrogant nature, he might even intensify his efforts.
Zhou Bing worried that Bai Xiao might develop a psychological shadow from this.
"How much is Chu Ming's punching power?"
Bai Xiao suddenly interrupted Zhou Bing and asked.
"170kg? It's about that, I guess."
"I'm not sure if he held back, but he was probably at full strength."
Zhou Bing was slightly startled before responding.
"Close to the level of a professional first-class?"
Bai Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, as if thinking about something.
Two minutes later, the three people at the entrance of the martial arts hall left in different directions.
As he was leaving, Bai Xiao could still hear Zhou Bing muttering under his breath, clearly disgusted and unable to let it go.
On the blue public bus, with the windows wide open, the fresh cool air filled the back seat. Bai Xiao was still thinking about the Chu Ming he had encountered for the first time.
That person, in reality, wasn't singling out Bai Xiao. He was targeting all the potential elite class candidates, including Zhou Bing and Kang Li.
To be honest, his personality was quite annoying.
Bai Xiao was also very confident, but his strong confidence was more reflected in silent yet powerful actions. He would not provoke others actively, but he was not afraid of any challenges either. Just like Guo Hao, who jumped out wanting to block Bai Xiao's path, he would only be mercilessly crushed under the wheels.
"Competing for the top spot in the elite class, huh?"
"Chu Ming must have heard some news as well..."
"To become the first, maybe you get more attention? Have more resources poured into you? Or is there some unexpected huge benefit?"
"Tss..." He took a deep breath, a spark of fire flickering in his eyes.
"If, I must compete for the first place in the elite class..."
Then Bai Xiao would, without a trace of pity...
Completely shatter Chu Ming's pitiful delusion!
At the back seat of the bus, with the breeze on his face.
Bai Xiao gathered his thoughts and looked down at his phone to check the time.
"It's already 15:50, huh? I need to pick up the pace."
"The two skills of the deliveryman career..."
"Today, they must be upgraded to level three!"
