Chapter 2186 â Fighting an Internal Force Expert
The various training centers and dojosâ experts were stunned when they saw Fire Dance.
âWhoâs this little lady?â
âIs she tired of living?â
Although none of them recognized Fire Dance, her identity didnât matter, even if she was an heiress to a large corporation or a member of a powerful family.
Wang Zongquan was still a merciless person.
Ordinary people, at most, knew this man had recently defeated Demon Wolf, an apex internal force expert overseas.
However, these experts knew that Wang Zongquan had been banished from the fighting industry in the past and had resorted to mercenary work. He was a cold-blooded monster that had secretly ended many expertsâ lives with his own hands. It was rumored that he was even responsible for the deaths of a few great familiesâ upper echelons. If Wang Zongquan wanted to, he could even slay a large familyâs heirs, regardless of how many bodyguards protected them.
As far as the crowd was concerned, Fire Dance was suicidal to provoke Wang Zongquan so blatantly.
Unexpectedly, however, the bear-like man didnât seem angry. He watched her for a moment before grinning, then asked, âIf thatâs the case, little lady, how do I earn this qualification you speak of?â
His goal was simple; he wanted to ensure that Heavenâs Rumble Training Centerâs reputation hit rock-bottom.
His biggest concern was that Heavenâs Rumble would refuse to fight him. He had earned quite a reputation, after all. No one would look down on the training center if it declined his challenge.
Hence, when this ignorant girl had stepped up to provoke him, he inwardly celebrated. Now, Heavenâs Rumble would have no choice but to accept his challenge, and he could take his time toying with the training center and humiliating its management. Heavenâs Rumble would never gain a foothold in Fenglin City.
âOur youth are so impatient. After hearing a few insulting words, she leaped into his trap. Her comment has ensured that Heavenâs Rumble will have to face Wang Zongquan,â Chen Tianhe, the Martial Heart Dojoâs master and an old man in his 50s, said, shaking his head. He then turned to Xiao Yu, and said, âOld Xiao, Iâm afraid that disaster will befall the young man you mentioned.â
âWonât Wang Zongquan back out if you make an appearance, Master Tianhe?â Xiao Yu anxiously asked.
He was exasperated over Fire Danceâs impatience. He knew she was an expert that had proven herself against one of the White Tiger Dojoâs intermediate disciples, but Wang Zongquan was an expert among experts. When she had stepped forward, she had only caused more trouble for Heavenâs Rumble Training Center.
Now, Chen Tianhe was their only hope.
Chen Tianhe had risen to fame for his martial art mastery many years ago. Even the White Tiger Dojoâs Jiang Tianyuan had to show a little respect before this old man. Chen Tianhe was unquestionably powerful; he had ranked among the top 32 in the international fighting competition during his peak.
Ranking among the top 32 fighters might not seem impressive, but they were talking about the largest fighting competition in the world. One had to be an expert among experts just to qualify for the competition, and hundreds of martial artists participated.
Wang Zongquan had only ranked among the top 64 fighters during his peak.
âIf I were 15 years younger, I might be able to contend with him, but nowâŠ,â Chen Tianhe said, shaking his head.
Youthful vigor was gold in martial arts. This saying rang true both in the past and the present.
Wang Zongquan was only 38 this year, and with todayâs technology, he was still in his prime. Proving the point, the bear-like man had defeated Demon Wolf, who wasnât any weaker than Chen Tianhe during his peak.
âIs it really over, just like this?â Xian Yu felt as if his soul were leaving his body.
He had gone to great lengths to employ Chen Tianheâs help to ensure that Heavenâs Rumble Training Center would have a home in Fenglin City. He had even called in the favor the old man had owed him for so many years. But nowâŠ
âThat youngster, Shi Feng, is really pitiful. He grasped internal force at such a tender age, yet he will have to face Wang Zongquan,â Chen Tianhe lamented, sighing as he stared at the monstrous, scarred man.
Shi Feng had definitely earned the title âgeniusâ for grasping internal force, despite being in his early 20s. He had a bright future ahead of him. Controlling internal force not only helped one improve their physical control, but it also enhanced comprehension. Moreover, Shi Feng hadnât yet reached his prime. He had plenty of room for growth. With the help of todayâs technology, he could gain substantial strength.
With another five or six years, Shi Feng could fight Wang Zongquan to a standstill.
Meanwhile, a thin, middle-aged man watched the exchange between Fire Dance and Wang Zongquan from a corner of the room, frowning. This man was none other than Zhuo Linqiu.
It seems Lu Xingluo canât be underestimated. To think he would actually employ Wang Zongquan. The situation will be harder to handle now. Zhuo Linqiu felt on-edge as he watched the newcomer.
He had thought that Lu Xingluo would, at most, hire an advanced internal force expert. He hadnât expected the apex internal force expert, Wang Zongquan, to show up. Experts of his caliber were extremely rare, even on a national scale.
They were also particularly difficult to employ.
These experts had no interest in money; they simply didnât need any. Hence, tempting them into action was a challenge.
Although Zhuo Linqiu was also an apex internal force expert, he was likely no match for Wang Zongquan due to his age. If it came down to a fight, Zhuo Linqiu felt that he only had a 40% chance of winning.
While everyone whispered to each other, Fire Dance approached the large man in the center of the hall. She calmly declared, âIf you want to spar with our Hall Master, youâll have to get through me.â
A series of gasps and silence answered the young womanâs declaration.
âHas she gone insane?â
âDoesnât Heavenâs Rumble have any capable fighters. Do they really need to send this young woman to her death?â
Astonished, the crowd stared at Fire Dance, who maintained her composure even after her bold statement. They wouldnât have been worried for her if she had challenged any other internal force expert, but she had just asked Wang Zongquan to spar. He wasnât kind; he was ruthless.
Almost every opponent the scarred man had defeated had spent at least six months in a hospital bed, and that was when medical experts had been nearby during the fight.
Without the money to afford the best medical services, they wouldâve spent the rest of their lives in a hospital!
âWhat is she trying to do?â Bai Qingxue began to worry as she watched her comrade.
She knew that Fire Dance had trained bitterly in Godâs Domain, and she was quite powerful. However, this was reality, not the virtual world. Even if she frequently trained in the real world, sheâd be lucky to survive against ordinary martial arts experts. Trying to fight an expert of Wang Zongquanâs caliber was suicidal.
âIs she a friend, Qingxue?â Zhang Tianya asked, to which Bai Qingxue nodded.
âDonât worry, then. Although Iâm not his match, I can stop that monster for a moment if necessary,â Zhang Tianya comforted his escort.
He had pursued Bai Qingxue for a long time now, although he wanted more than her perfect body and pretty face. He was far more interested in the White Clan Group that stood behind her. Only a woman of her standards was fit to stand beside him.
However, he rarely encountered an opportunity to show off his strength to her. Hence, he was quite pleased with the situation. He wasnât a match for an apex internal force expert like Wang Zongquan, but heâd have no issues stopping one of the manâs attacks.

Is your training center out of fighters, little lady? If you wish to spar with me, you should know that I never show mercy to my opponents. You canât blame me for the outcome.â Wang Zongquanâs expression darkened, and a flash of killing intent lit his eyes.
He couldâve brushed off her interruption as youthful ignorance, but a public challenge was an entirely different matter.
He was an internal force expertâa master martial artist. It was humiliating to have some random nobody challenge him. If he did not teach this girl a proper lesson, heâd become a laughingstock.
âThe state of Heavenâs Rumble is none of your concern! You can talk after you defeat me!â
Fire Dance stepped forward, and her fist shot straight toward Wang Zongquan.
