Wang Qiang pointed at Chen Yi, still trying to sound fierce, but his feet were already starting to slowly retreat.

"Chen, Chen Yi! Don't go crazy! This is the territory of our Black Stone Gang. Do you know who our leader is? He's Shi San, known in the martial world as the Black Blood Iron Claw!"

Chen Yi couldn't be bothered to listen to his nonsense. Holding a small hammer, he charged forward and knocked Wang Qiang to the ground with a single blow.

"I'll teach you not to bully others with your power!"

Wang Qiang felt dizzy and his ears were ringing. The intense pain on his face almost stopped him from thinking.

Before he could scream, Chen Yi swung the hammer down again.

"I'll teach you not to skimp on our food!"

This blow landed heavily on his back, and a "crack" was heard on the spot.

"Ah!!"

Although Wang Qiang was a martial artist, Chen Yi's cultivation was higher, and he couldn't withstand even one blow. But Chen Yi directly straddled him, unleashing a frenzy of attacks!

"I'll teach you not to beat and scold us at will!"

"Ah!! Stop hitting me!"

"I'll teach you not to force us to sign the Contract of Selling Oneself!"

"Ah!! Spare me! Spare me! I was wrong! Hero, have mercy!!!"

"I'll teach you not to force me to feed the monsters!"

"Ah!! I didn't do that?? It's pure framing!!"

In his excitement, Chen Yi attributed the simulated events to him.

"So what if it's framing?!"

Wang Qiang, the foreman, was in charge of overseeing the supervisors and laborers on the dock, and he often abused his power.

Seeing him being beaten by Chen Yi, not only did the laborers feel satisfied, but even the supervisors who had fallen into the water secretly enjoyed it.

Finally, they got some revenge!

Not far away, the Black Stone Gang leader Shi San walked over.

Seeing Wang Qiang being beaten by Chen Yi without any ability to fight back, he became interested.

"Who is this kid?"

The Black Stone Gang's artillery head glanced over and clasped his fists.

"Leader, that kid is named Chen Yi. Three months ago, he and a fool drifted down from the upper reaches of the Qing River and were taken by the brothers to work as dock laborers."

Shi San pondered for a moment and spoke to a burly man with a big belly behind him.

"Laosi, this Chen Yi should be a martial artist. Wang Qiang is no match for him. Go meet him and see what he's made of. Be careful not to injure him too severely."

"Got it, boss!"

Chen Yi was enjoying beating Wang Qiang when suddenly his wrist was grabbed, and the small hammer in his hand was seized and casually thrown to the ground.

Turning his head, he saw it was the Fourth Master of the Black Stone Gang.

"Kid, you're about to beat him to death. How about sparring with me?"

Chen Yi kicked Wang Qiang into the water.

"Fourth Master, you're a martial artist. How could I be your match? Isn't this bullying the weak?"

There weren't many martial artists in the Black Stone Gang.

After all, people with the right bone structure are rare, and those who have the opportunity to enter the martial path are even rarer.

In a small gang like this, they would try to recruit any martial artist they found.

From the Fourth Master wanting to spar with him, Chen Yi estimated that his goal had been achieved.

"Hahaha! Why beat around the bush? Aren't you a martial artist too?"

"Martial artists have different levels."

"I'm at the sixth stage of Body Refinement! But I won't bully you. As long as you can hurt me, I'll let bygones be bygones, and I can even ask the leader to make you one of the pillars of our Black Stone Gang!"

Chen Yi clenched his fist.

"Does the Fourth Master keep his word?"

"Hmph! When have I, Shi Laosi, ever broken my word? If I said I wouldn't pay you, I never did!"

Chen Yi felt that this one's intelligence might be on par with Da Chun's.

Since it was a spar, they naturally didn't use weapons.

With fists, he couldn't help but think of the entry he had just acquired.

Serious Punch!

At the start of the exchange, the Fourth Master felt at ease.

Chen Yi was indeed a martial artist; his strength and reactions were beyond ordinary people.

But compared to his sixth stage of Body Refinement, there was still a clear gap, and he could easily handle him.

"Is this all you've got? You can't even touch my clothes!"

"Does the Fourth Master only dare to dodge?"

"Hmph! I'm afraid I might accidentally kill you if I hit too hard. I wouldn't know how to explain that to the boss! With your mediocre skills, I could stand still and let you hit me, and you wouldn't hurt me at all!"

This guy was indeed true to his word.

He said he'd stand still, and he did.

Chen Yi seized the opportunity, using all his strength to maximize the effect of the entry.

Serious Punch!

Ten times the destructive power!

"Boom!!"

This punch made the fat on the Fourth Master's belly ripple like waves on a lake.

The Fourth Master's body bent backward on the spot.

A metallic taste rose in his mouth, but he forcibly swallowed it.

Chen Yi's lips curled into a smile as he stepped back, looking playfully at the Fourth Master who was struggling to hold on.

"Fourth Master, how was it?"

The Fourth Master endured the intense pain in his abdomen, forcing down the blood that was rising in his throat, his whole body trembling slightly.

"No, it didn't hurt! But it was indeed not bad. I'll go ask the leader right away! You, you better not hurt anyone else!"

As the Fourth Master turned around, Shi San was already standing behind him.

"I saw everything. Chen Yi, since you are a martial artist, our Black Stone Gang would like to invite you to take on a position within the gang, to share in the wealth and prosperity! You won't have to do this hard labor anymore!"

The goal was achieved, but Chen Yi maintained a blank expression, needing to act more convincingly.

"I want to leave."

Shi San chuckled.

"Laosi didn't use his full strength just now, afraid of hurting you, but don't think he can't beat you."

The implication was clear.

If the Fourth Master of the Black Stone Gang could handle you, let alone the leader.

Inviting you to join the gang was out of respect for you being a martial artist, so don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit.

"In that case, I'll stay."

"I have one more question. Since you're a martial artist, why didn't you tell us and instead willingly work as a laborer here?"

Chen Yi replied nonchalantly.

"After falling into the water, my body was weak, and I couldn't mobilize my blood and energy until recently. Besides, I did tell someone before, but they didn't believe me."

"Who did you tell?"

"Wang Qiang."

Wang Qiang had just been fished out of the water by the Black Stone Gang members.

He was covered in injuries, hurting everywhere.

Hearing this, his pupils contracted on the spot.

"What? I didn't know! Leader! I didn't know! I really didn't know!"

Shi San snorted coldly.

"You wasted talent, causing resentment in people's hearts. How did you do your job? Throw him down to feed the fish!"

"Yes!"

Wang Qiang, who had just been pulled up, was thrown back down.

His bones were almost all broken, and falling into the water like this, he was doomed.

"Leader! Spare me! I really didn't know... glug glug... Leader! Save... glug glug..."

A gang is a gang, turning hostile at the drop of a hat.

Chen Yi was pretending to join them, just to find an opportunity to leave with Da Chun.

If he could destroy the gang in passing, he wouldn't mind, depending on whether the next simulation could give him enough strength.

That afternoon, Shi San hosted a banquet for Chen Yi at the Black Stone Gang's headquarters near the dock.

All the gang's four masters, the pillars, and elite members were seated.

"Let's raise this bowl of wine to our new brother, Chen Yi!"

Shi San appointed Chen Yi as the new instructor, responsible for teaching the lower-level gang members martial arts.

It was a position that seemed to have status but didn't allow access to the gang's core.

It was clear Shi San wasn't foolish, not giving Chen Yi a key position right away.
