Young Master in Flower City

"Damn, performing an Iron Cloth Shirt, and even making a death wager, does it have to be this funny? Hey you, hurry it up, I can't friggin' wait!"

"Exactly, exactly, regardless if he ends up croaking, it'll definitely be tomorrow's headline!"

"Should I notify the media for you? You'll be a Kung Fu master known by all tomorrow!"

"..."

Many people chimed in anxiously, having seen someone survive being hit in the chest with a big rock, but when it came to the Iron Cloth Shirt, they just laughed.

Ling Xiaonan was speechless; since when did this idiot get so long-winded? As if this lame hammer could take my life, no way, I'm the captain of the Dragon Group for crying out loud.

The Dragon Group is something others don't know about, but Ling Xiaonan knows very well. It's a secret military unit dedicated to defending the nation, with only a few hundred soldiers capable of facing thousands of foes, each an elite of elites.

As the captain, Ling Xiaonan is naturally extraordinary.

"You bastard, where's all this nonsense coming from? Just hit me, I promise I won't hold it against you!"

"Really?"

"Truer than gold, there are so many witnesses here!"

"Alright... I'll hit..."

The captain is asking for it himself, there's nothing I can do, I'm forced into this. If I don't hit, I'll be court-martialed for sure, so for my own safety, I need to do it!

"Captain, steady your horse stance; I don't want to send you flying into the sky with a single hit. You'll become a real immortal then!" Xiao Qiang feigned a considerate look.

"..." The surrounding crowd was speechless, hurry up and hit him already! Didn't he say he won't make you responsible if something happens?

At this moment, even Xiao Tianyu was a bit exasperated. He's seen people with a death wish, but not like this. These soldiers must be driven mad by being locked up too long.

"Captain, get ready, here I come!" Xiao Qiang shouted as he gripped the sledgehammer handle with both hands, swinging the 10-kilogram hammer with ferocity. Just then, Ling Xiaonan steadied his stance, immovable like a mountain.

"Captain, become a superhero!" As he shouted, the huge iron hammer flew toward Ling Xiaonan's midriff, whipping up a gale.

Bang~

With a loud crash, under everyone's gaze, the sledgehammer struck Ling Xiaonan's stomach. Xiao Qiang instantly felt a terrifying shock through the hammer, numbing his bones, while Ling Xiaonan remained unmoved, unlike Xiao Qiang who was forced back several steps before steadying himself.

Is... is this guy even human?

The hammer weighs 10 kilograms, and yet that guy is unfazed?

The onlookers' eyes widened greatly, realizing this so-called captain truly has some skills, perhaps more than a couple of tricks—possibly four.

Didn't you see? The guy swinging the hammer got knocked back several steps, wow, is this the long-lost Iron Cloth Shirt? Impervious to knives and guns.

"So the captain really knows Iron Cloth Shirt!" Xiao Qiang placed the sledgehammer on the ground with an expression of awe. He'd heard of it, but never seen it, until now.

"Of course!" Ling Xiaonan patted his belly with his right hand, boasting: "Just because you can stick a chopstick into a marble table doesn't mean you're unbeatable, that's just child's play!"

Compared to this, it does seem a bit childish.

"The captain is mighty, impervious to weaponry, unbreakable like diamonds. I, Xiao Qiang, bow to no one but you!" Xiao Qiang fawned wildly, secretly wanting to ask if the Dragon Group was recruiting.

Ling Xiaonan inwardly cringed, is this guy praising me or mocking me? What 'unbreakable diamond'? I can withstand a sledgehammer but not a bullet, alright?

Even Xiao Tianyu was slightly taken aback. This old guy's Hard Qi Technique is indeed refined mastery, yet Xiao Tianyu wasn't overly impressed, hopping into his sports car to start the engine.

"Kid, you think you're leaving just like that?" Ling Xiaonan stood in front of the car, face clouded with dissatisfaction. After such an impressive performance, why hasn't this guy taken the bait? He should be begging to join the Dragon Group.

With that thought, Ling Xiaonan continued: "Honestly, you have great potential. With my careful guidance, your future achievements could rival mine. Normally I don't make offers like this; this is your chance!"

"I've got no interest in your Flowery Fist and Embroidery Legs!" Xiao Tianyu brazenly retorted, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

Flowery Fist and Embroidery Legs?

This... this is Flowery Fist and Embroidery Legs? That's a 10-kilogram hammer. I've never seen this treated as just Flowery Fist and Embroidery Legs.

Such empty talk.

Even Gu Lingyue, sitting in the sports car, was stunned. This idiot actually dared to say it out loud, Flowery Fist and Embroidery Legs—if you're so capable, perform an Iron Cloth Shirt yourself!

At this point, Xiao Qiang was utterly in awe of Ling Xiaonan. And now, someone dares to call Ling Xiaonan's moves flowery, how could he tolerate that? That's demeaning his idol.

So Xiao Qiang coldly snorted: "You say the captain uses Flowery Fist and Embroidery Legs. If you have the guts, show it to me!"

"Stand there and let you hammer me?"

"Of course!"

"Idiot!" Xiao Tianyu shot Xiao Qiang a look, as if standing there to get hit wasn't idiotic, what is it?

"..." How do I even respond to that? The statement is... flawless.

On hearing this, Ling Xiaonan was stunned. His first thought—this guy has a huge ego, and not a small one.

Xiao Tianyu paid no mind, gazing forward and speaking calmly: "Old man, kindly move aside. Even if you're seeking death, don't involve me. Running someone over these days lands you in jail."

"Weren't you full of bravado just now? Let's do this, I'll give you a chance!" Ling Xiaonan coldly snorted, not waiting for Xiao Tianyu's response. He continued: "Xiao Qiang, bring the hammer!"

At this statement, Xiao Tianyu wore a dark expression. What's this old fool up to now? He wouldn't forcefully hand me the hammer, right? This isn't a joke. One swing and you're done for.

Sure enough, Xiao Qiang carried the hammer over delightedly, eager to comply: "Captain, just give the order!"

"Give this guy the hammer!"

"Sure thing!" Xiao Qiang placed the iron hammer in front of Xiao Tianyu, while Ling Xiaonan said, "If you can launch me with one swing, you can go. If not, you come with me!"

Xiao Tianyu was bewildered. Since when did idiots become so rampant? Is it the result of melamine milk?

Seeing Xiao Tianyu looking at him strangely, Ling Xiaonan coldly snorted: "What, afraid to bet?"

"Idiot!" Xiao Tianyu revved the engine, pressing on the gas pedal: "Move aside!"

"Unless you can knock me flying with a single hammer, you're not leaving. Even if you try, driving over me won't work. With this tiny engine, I could flip the car with one hand!"
