"Coach Chen, show us what you've got."

A somewhat rebellious voice echoed through the training room. The burly Wang Cheng stood like a towering giant, making everyone feel pressured.

Seven or eight trainees and the other two boxing coaches all turned to look. The former were mostly curious onlookers, while the latter seemed to harbor some concern.

After all, all of them were at an amateur level of 9th dan or even slightly higher.

But today, when they teamed up, they were almost brought to their knees after just two or three moves from Wang Cheng.

For a moment, with a variety of expressions, all eyes were on Chen Feng, who remained calm. He glanced at the rebellious man, who was about two or three centimeters taller than him, and nodded faintly.

"Sure."

As soon as the words left his mouth, a shadow flashed in front of him.

Wang Cheng, standing still a moment ago, suddenly struck. His arms fell to his sides like giant pythons, whipping forward in a roaring punch.

Whoosh!

The sound of air being torn apart echoed as everyone's eyes widened, still in shock.

Beside them, Zhou Xiaoli instinctively covered her mouth, her face paling, unable to look any further.

Until, finally, Wang Cheng's fists, like dragons, landed with a heavy blow to Chen Feng's chest.

Boom!

A muffled sound rang out, and everyone felt a sudden jolt in their chest.

"..."

"Is this your full strength?"

Chen Feng remained unmoved, his tone indifferent, locking eyes with Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng's pupils contracted, and a sense of danger quickly rose from within.

This is bad!

Realizing his mistake, he hurriedly exploded with power, pushing his back and shoulders in an attempt to withdraw his punch!

But the next second...

A large hand appeared out of nowhere, pressing against the back of his head.

Thud!!!

A headbutt, and stars exploded before his eyes.

Chen Feng took advantage of the momentum and yanked Wang Cheng forward, standing straight, his left arm driving a punch.

Boom!

With 350 kilograms of punch power—an ordinary punch, not even a full-powered one!

A dull explosion sounded, and it seemed as though white mist spread from the impact.

Wang Cheng's head snapped sideways, his consciousness clouded, and his eyes rolled back in his head.

Thud, thud!

In the sound of unsteady footsteps, Wang Cheng swayed, his body tilting left and right.

Finally, with a loud thud, he knelt to the ground.

Hiss!!!

A deathly silence fell in the room, with the sound of people gasping for air.

Chen Feng, expressionless, stepped over Wang Cheng's unconscious body and slowly walked toward a hanging leather punching bag, standing firmly. His strong physique casting a huge shadow.

In the midst of astonished glances, he clenched his right fist, and his shoulder and back muscles rippled like flowing water.

Roar!

Like a tiger emerging from the mountains, his muscles and bones resonated in unison!

Thud!!!

Poof!

With a punch, the leather bag trembled violently!

The veins in his fist bulged as it appeared from the other side, and the shattered black leather flew like debris from the cracks.

The sunlight pouring in through the floor-to-ceiling window cast its rays, and everyone stared in stunned silence.

Finally, Chen Feng moved his right shoulder, stepping back and twisting his shoulder, pulling his arm back.

Whoosh, whoosh!!!

The hole punched through the leather bag spouted sand grains, which quickly fell to the ground, accumulating in a pile.

The mixture of dark brown and white-gray sand felt like it had smashed into everyone's hearts, creating an oppressive, heavy atmosphere.

Thud, thud!

Finally, turning around to face everyone, Chen Feng stood tall.

His tone calm, he glanced around as though introducing himself and slowly spoke, "My name is Chen Feng."

"You can all call me, Coach Chen."

"Holy shit, dude you're too strong!"

A few minutes later, Chen Feng was alone in the club's lounge, pulled aside by Lin Hao.

Along the way, everyone stared at him with shock and admiration, and all the trainees and coaches were left in a daze for a long while.

Even Lin Hao muttered his astonishment several times.

"How the hell did you train like that?"

"Is the Tiger Roar state really that terrifying?"

Chen Feng shook his head lightly, not offering much explanation.

What he had actually done earlier was use some of his Explosive Fist technique, but with just a slight restraint, increasing his force by only around 40%.

With 40% of a 350-kilogram punch, it was almost 500 kilograms of raw power, reaching the peak of professional level.

One punch, and the leather punching bag was simply a fragile object in comparison.

And the reason he did it was to intimidate everyone and establish the rules for the club.

"Monster, you're really a monster."

Lin Hao repeated the words in an envious tone, not knowing how many times he had said it.

Although he had thought Chen Feng had great talent, he had never had a clear frame of reference.

It's just that every time Wu Tian was defeated in an instant, he couldn't gauge Chen Feng's destructive power.

But today, he had received a surprise.

"Well, with your display, you've probably shocked them all."

"Especially Wang Cheng. He'll definitely listen more from now on. And those trainees—this is the best promotion. I think some of them will want to become our core members."

Lin Hao rambled on, but Chen Feng didn't pay much attention.

He recalled the moment when Cao Tong had exploded a punching bag with a single punch.

At first, he thought he should be able to do the same, but now he realized, even with full explosive force, it would be difficult to achieve.

"Strength."

Chen Feng's eyes flickered as he remembered something Cao Tong had once said.

If the Tiger Roar stance breaks through to the Tiger Might, it can internally refine the organs and give birth to great strength.

Clearly, that was how Cao Tong achieved it.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng didn't want to waste any more time. He quickly asked Lin Hao for a private training room and started practicing his stance alone.

The effects of the Secret Medicine Rock Tiger Pill might still linger, and he might still be able to improve further.

Achoo!

"Who's talking bad about me behind my back?"

In a commercial district near the city center, Cao Tong stepped down from a black SUV, sneezed, and muttered to himself.

The companion beside Cao Tong shook his head upon hearing this, patting his broad, tower-like shoulder with a teasing smile, "Your body can't take it anymore, huh? I told you to rest early at night."

"Get lost."

Cao Tong slapped away the hand on his shoulder, distancing himself with a look of disdain.

Wu Shuang, seeing this, remained expressionless. She stepped out of the backseat of the car in her plain white clothes, passed by the two men, and looked up at the residential area ahead.

People were coming and going, with sounds of laughter and chatter.

Under the tree at the entrance, an elderly man was playing chess, children were chasing each other, and adults sat nearby, gossiping.

"Senior Sister Wu, is that Serpent Spirit Sect scum really hiding here?"

Cao Tong asked from the side. Wu Shuang replied calmly, "I'm not sure. This is just the area we suspect for now; we'll need to check step by step."

Another person furrowed their brows, curious. "What about the United Coalition people?"

"They've found traces of another Cult member and have sent people to investigate and block any traces nearby."

"We're here mainly to lend a hand, just in case."

Cao Tong and the others relaxed their brows, glancing at the towering buildings of the residential area, and at the damp and foul-smelling sewer manhole covers.

"These Cult members, every time they're severely injured, they use despicable methods to absorb the life force of others to heal."

"Let's go, see if anyone's in trouble."

With a calm tone, Wu Shuang took the lead and stepped forward.

Cao Tong and the others silently followed, soon blending into the crowd of the residential area.

Later that evening, after finishing his training at the club and having dinner, Chen Feng and Lin Hao chatted briefly. He left around 8 PM.

Since Chen Yun was still at the hospital, he stopped by on his way.

Li Hongxia and her daughter had not woken up yet, and the lawyer and bodyguards from yesterday strangely hadn't appeared.

However...

"Old Li, listen to our advice and sign the agreement."

"Yeah, Hong Guang Group isn't a company ordinary people like us can mess with. If they say it's a brake failure, then it's a brake failure."

"You can't change their minds. If you don't sign and keep making a fuss, you won't get a single cent in compensation. You'll gain nothing."

Several new faces had appeared in the hospital, both male and female, of various ages.

Through Liu Fang's explanation, Chen Feng learned that these were relatives of Li Hongxia's family.

"We'll handle our own affairs, don't say anything!"

Li Hongqiang stood next to his elderly parents, scolding a few times, but was soon surrounded by more voices persuading him.

Chen Feng calmly watched all of this, then left the hospital with Chen Yun.

"What did the doctor say?" he asked as they walked.

"Her vital signs are stabilizing. The doctor said she was lucky to survive, but recovery will take some time."

"Mr. Zhang also came to check on Hongxia's family today. What's strange is that the lawyer from yesterday hasn't come back, and neither has the person responsible for the accident."

"Hongxia's family is very angry, so they've refused to sign the mediation agreement. They just want a sincere apology."

Chen Yun briefly explained the situation, and Chen Feng listened quietly.

As for Li Hongxia and Xu Yao's matter, in essence, he was just an outsider and had no right to decide anything.

They had worked together, so he hoped for a peaceful resolution.

What he could do was offer assistance out of goodwill, within his ability.

"I hope everything ends with the best outcome."

With a calm gaze, Chen Feng and Chen Yun returned home.

He had gained little from his dreams the night before, and now he couldn't wait to find more of those limit-breaking light orbs.

After washing up and settling into bed, he was about to close his eyes when his phone suddenly vibrated.

Buzz.

Instinctively, he unlocked it to check.

An unexpected message appeared before him.

------

Buzz!

An hour later, lightning struck suddenly.

In the dark, cloudy night, a figure with an Azure horn stood at the street corner.

The hospital had temporarily stopped medication, claiming key drugs were unavailable, so treatment could not continue.

Although still indignant, Li Hongxia's family came to terms with the reality.

Chen Feng, expressionless, looked at the villa in the distance, the fiberglass red eyes glaring brightly.

"It's only fear... that brings about the best outcome."

"So, let me be its enforcer."

He muttered as thunder rumbled in the sky.

The clouds thickened, and the wind howled. A storm was coming.
