He moved swiftly and entered the Sandbag Formation, dodging the impact of three sandbags with astonishing speed. Qi Miao was left stunned; he had thought his own speed was incredible, but witnessing Mo Ming's actions made him realize the vast difference in their abilities.
"You point your fingers, and I'll count!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Miao immediately raised two fingers.
"That's quite naive!" Mo Ming dodged two sandbags that were closing in on him, glanced quickly, and reported the number. At the same time, he kicked back a sandbag that was coming from behind, sending it flying.
Qi Miao raised four fingers again.
"Four!" After quickly reporting the number, Mo Ming delivered a powerful punch to a sandbag rushing toward him, shattering it completely. The sand inside spilled out, creating a mess on the ground.
Having achieved his goal, Mo Ming stepped out of the Sandbag Formation and looked at the astonished Qi Miao with a smile. "Did you see that? When you can reach this level, I can guarantee you will be a top-tier expert."
"Impressive! Master, you're amazing! You shattered the sandbag with just your fists! How much strength does that take?" Qi Miao snapped back to reality and immediately applauded in awe.
"Strength can be developed through training, but it's mainly about reaction speed. Not everyone can achieve that. With your current reaction speed, you can handle ordinary opponents, but if you face a true expert, you won't be able to withstand even one of their moves," Mo Ming explained.
Having witnessed Mo Ming's battle with Evil Eye firsthand, Qi Miao understood that Mo Ming wasn't belittling him. He nodded slightly and said, "I understand, Master. I will definitely train hard. What should I do next?"
"From now on, you will hike uphill with weights every day. This will improve your physical fitness and also enhance your speed. Don't give me that defeated expression; if you don't want to do it, I won't force you. But let me make it clear: if you can't keep up, I can kick you out of my mentorship at any time," Mo Ming chuckled.
Being kicked out for not being able to keep up? Wasn't that outright coercion?
Qi Miao felt helpless; he didn't dare to refuse. He forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, Master! It's just hiking with weights; I can definitely do it! How much weight should I carry?"
"With your current physique, you don't need to carry too much. Just buy some weighted bags from the supermarket and hike every morning! For now, you don't need to worry about anything else—just follow my instructions."
"Alright then! It's just hiking with weights; I’m sure I can handle it!" Qi Miao said confidently. "I'll go buy weighted bags tonight and head straight to Wuxiang Mountain tomorrow morning!"
"Wuxiang Mountain is too low."
"Then I'll go to Xiangwu Mountain!"
"That place has roads built; running there won't provide much challenge." Mo Ming shook his head in disapproval once again.
"Master, just tell me directly, where do you want me to go?" Qi Miao asked with a mournful expression.
"Go to Autumn Wild Mountain. It's high enough and the path is steep. You should go there every day to carry weights while climbing. The results will be more noticeable in a month," Mo Ming said with a grin, patting Qi Miao on the shoulder. "Work hard, and in a month, I will arrange a real battle for you. If you aren't capable, you might die."
"Alright! Autumn Wild Mountain it is! I've climbed there before, and the path is indeed steep. But I don't believe that carrying weights will stop me from reaching the top!" Qi Miao, who had initially looked sorrowful, felt his negative emotions vanish upon hearing that Mo Ming would arrange a real battle for him in a month.
Qi Miao was just a bit lazy, but he wasn't afraid of death. The thought of the exciting battle Mo Ming would arrange made him imagine all sorts of thrilling scenarios, and he knew he wouldn't be able to sleep that night.
The next day, Qi Miao indeed went to Autumn Wild Mountain to climb with weights. With weighted bags strapped to his legs, he ran along the steep paths of Autumn Wild Mountain. At first, it felt manageable, but as he climbed higher, the path became even steeper.
Qi Miao stumbled several times along the way, scraping his hands a bit, but gritting his teeth, he persevered. However, the further he went, the more difficult it became. Yet with his strong willpower, even though his legs felt weak, Qi Miao finally reached the summit.
Starting at seven in the morning, it took Qi Miao three full hours of running and walking to reach the top. However, he felt that he had barely met the requirement; he still wasn't fast enough!
The next day, Qi Miao continued his routine of climbing with weights.
The same happened on the third day.
Climbing with weights became the main focus of Qi Miao's life for that month. After returning home from climbing each day and realizing it was already late, he would rest and then continue climbing again the next day. After more than ten days, Qi Miao could clearly feel a significant change in his physical condition.
He even increased the difficulty by doubling the weight of his bags!
At first, Qi Miao struggled to adapt again and took longer to complete his climbs. However, after continuing to push through, he began to adjust to the new weight and started reducing his time again.
On the twenty-third day of climbing with weights, Mo Ming, who had been busy with various matters in Nanhua City, suddenly received a call from Shang Xige.
"Boss, I'm currently at Wennan Village on the outskirts of SH City. Hurry up! I have something very important to tell you. I've been injured by the Dark Order organization; they are currently hunting us down. If we wait too long, we're dead!"
"Wait for me! Don't die so quickly!" Mo Ming shouted angrily into the phone without asking further questions. After hanging up, he quickly gathered Liufeng, Poisonous Madness, and Crocodile. He didn't plan to inform Huang Zifeng about this matter.
Although there were definitely members of Dragon Group in Shanghai, no one knew if there were any traitors within Dragon Group. Ever since the last attack on Dragon Group's secret base, Mo Ming had been uneasy about them. Now that Shang Xige's life was in danger, he couldn't take that risk.
Moreover, what Shang Xige referred to as important must be related to the Dark Order organization; it was undoubtedly significant. Otherwise, the Dark Order wouldn't have injured Shang Xige and been hunting him down everywhere.
However, Mo Ming couldn't understand how Shang Xige, whom he had sent to protect Su Xiuwen, could obtain information about the Dark Order organization. But the current situation did not allow Mo Ming to ask too many questions; he only wanted to rush to Wennan Village on the outskirts of SH City as quickly as possible.
If he was even a moment late, Shang Xige's life would be in danger!
On the day he received the call, Mo Ming, Liufeng, Crocodile, and Poisonous Madness boarded a flight to SH City. With the speed of the plane, it took less than four hours to travel from Nanhua City to SH City.
These four hours seemed short, but for Mo Ming, they felt unbearably long. Every minute and second mattered for Shang Xige's safety. The fact that Shang Xige had hidden out in the outskirts of SH City indicated that his situation was not optimistic.
Members of the Dark Order could find Shang Xige at any moment!
After four long hours of waiting, Mo Ming and the others finally set foot on the land of SH City. Once they exited the airport, they hailed a taxi and headed straight for Wennan Village.
Wennan Village was located in a remote area on the outskirts of SH City, and the road was not easy for vehicles to navigate. However, after Mo Ming offered the driver extra money, he agreed to take them.
The taxi sped along, and after some time on the bumpy dirt road, the taxi driver informed Mo Ming that they had arrived at Wennan Village.
After getting out of the car, Mo Ming handed a stack of red bills to the driver and then led Liufeng, Poisonous Madness, and Crocodile into Wennan Village. The village was secluded; only a few houses were made of concrete while most were old buildings constructed from yellow mud.
At the entrance of the village, several elderly men were playing chess. When they saw Mo Ming and his companions arrive, one elderly man standing nearby looked panicked and hurriedly left.
Mo Ming noticed the old man's anxious expression and immediately decided to follow him quietly with Liufeng and the others. They trailed behind him until they reached a small courtyard surrounded by yellow mud walls.
The old man opened the gate to the courtyard but was about to close it when Mo Ming rushed forward and held the door open with his hand, preventing him from shutting it. The old man saw Mo Ming and looked as if his soul had left his body; he struggled for a moment but couldn't close the door.
"Someone is coming! You all need to leave quickly!" The old man shouted while trembling all over. It was clear that he was very scared; however, despite his fear, he wanted to warn those inside the courtyard to escape. One must say that this old man was a person of deep loyalty!
"Uh, I think you misunderstood. I'm his friend!" Mo Ming explained with a wry smile.
The old man froze in surprise.
"Boss! You finally made it!" Shang Xige's voice came from within the courtyard. Soon after, Shang Xige emerged with Su Xiuwen's support, limping along with bandages wrapped around his upper body.
When Mo Ming and the others saw Shang Xige's condition, their hearts sank with sorrow followed by an overwhelming anger.
"Damn it, Old Shang, don't worry, I'll make sure those bastards end up crippled!" Crocodile cursed.
Shang Xige smiled widely and said, "What are you talking about? I'm not crippled. I'll take care of this revenge myself, no need for you to interfere. I've already memorized the faces of those bastards. If it weren't for Wenwen being here, would they even be my opponents?"
"Hmph, are you blaming me for holding you back?" Su Xiuwen huffed unhappily, immediately releasing Shang Xige and turning her head away. With her demeanor, she looked nothing like a big star; she was clearly just a spoiled little girl.
Seeing that Su Xiuwen was upset, Shang Xige grinned foolishly and quickly reassured her, "Wenwen, I didn't mean it that way. Don't be angry. To me, you're more precious than my own life. I'd gladly die to protect you!"
"What nonsense are you saying? I don't want you to die!" Su Xiuwen complained as she looked at Shang Xige.
"Alright, alright, I won't die. Those bastards should be the ones to die instead. I still want to marry you and have kids!" Shang Xige said with a smile while wrapping an arm around Su Xiuwen's waist.
"Hmph, who said anything about having kids for you?" Su Xiuwen's face turned red, but she still huffed in response.
Beside them, Poisonous Madness pointed at his arm and said, "I think that's enough chit-chat. Look at this! I'm getting goosebumps all over!"
"This isn't the time for idle talk. The Dark Order's people might arrive soon. For the safety of Wennan Village and ourselves, we should leave here quickly!" Mo Ming said with a serious expression.
