Several people quickly surrounded Chad Grant, and Simon Grant raised his sword-like eyebrows, pointed at Chad Grant, and shouted, “You little bastard, how dare you hit your Brother Ian...”
As the son of the second-generation number one of the Gu family, Gordon Grant, and himself a genius of the third generation, Simon Grant was even more arrogant than Ian Grant.
Simon Grant’s loud shout drew the attention of passersby on the street, who began to gather and watch. Naturally, Charles Harris and Sarah Harris ran over as well.
“Brother Simon...” Charles Harris and Sarah Harris called out at the same time, their voices full of joy.
Chad Grant didn’t care at all about Charles Harris’s voice, but Sarah Harris’s voice still made him a bit uncomfortable. Although there was no real affection between them, they were, after all, engaged. Just now, Sarah Harris had remained silent toward him, her expression quite disappointed, but now she was so delighted to see Simon Grant.
Such a stark contrast—how could Chad Grant feel good about it? His feelings toward Sarah Harris instantly dropped by a large margin.
“Charles Harris, Sarah Harris my dear, after I deal with this loser, I’ll come visit your house.”
Simon Grant gave the two a bright smile, then turned to Chad Grant with a fierce expression and said, “Today I’ll show you what true Gu family techniques are, you little bastard from outside.”
With that, Simon Grant lunged forward, throwing a punch straight at Chad Grant’s face.
Sixth level of the postnatal stage, possessing the strength of six stones—compared to Ian Grant, Simon Grant’s strength was a whole level higher. To easily slap him a few times would only be possible if he revealed the strength of the third postnatal level.
Of course, Chad Grant would never expose his true strength. Having already slapped Ian Grant a few times and now fighting Simon Grant, it was enough to make him the center of attention in the entire Gu family. If his level suddenly rose too quickly, it would definitely attract special attention from certain people and bring danger to himself. With his current strength, Chad Grant was far from being able to protect himself.
Although he didn’t want to keep being bullied in silence, he also wouldn’t reveal all his secrets in front of others.
Therefore, facing Simon Grant, Chad Grant still only used the strength of the second postnatal level.
The reason Chad Grant could easily defeat the fifth-level Ian Grant with only second-level strength was not because he had advanced to the third level, but because of the experience, combat awareness, and understanding of techniques accumulated in his previous life. When Chad Grant used the strength of the third postnatal level, it actually wasn’t much higher than the second.
In Chad Grant’s eyes, Simon Grant’s power was strong, but his speed was too slow. To Chad Grant, it was like watching slow motion. Although his current body couldn’t match Simon Grant’s, dodging his attacks wasn’t difficult.
Simon Grant’s fists pounded out with wild force, layers upon layers of fist shadows covering a full ten feet in front of him.
Within the flurry of fist shadows, Chad Grant darted left and right like a lone boat on the sea. No matter how fierce the wind and waves, that little boat clung tightly to the surface, rising and falling with the waves, but never sinking.
“Nice... Brother Simon’s punch was amazing, almost broke his nose.”
“Nice... Brother Simon’s kick was amazing, almost busted his balls.”
“Nice... Brother Simon’s palm strike was amazing, almost chopped his neck.”
...
To the onlookers, Simon Grant was attacking with full force, fist shadows flying everywhere, an intimidating display. Chad Grant was dodging left and right among the overlapping fist shadows, not daring to face Simon Grant head-on. It was obvious that Simon Grant had the upper hand, and every attack seemed like it could knock Chad Grant down.
So, every time Simon Grant attacked, the four young men nearby cheered loudly. Everyone in the Gu family believed Gordon Grant would become the clan leader, so these four flattered Simon Grant even more than Ian Grant.
The only one in the arena who felt something was wrong was Simon Grant himself, who was attacking with all his might. At first, he thought Chad Grant had just gotten lucky and accidentally broke through his attack, but as the fight went on, he realized that no matter how hard or fast he punched, Chad Grant was always just a bit faster, making him hit nothing but air.
But Chad Grant’s speed wasn’t so fast that he couldn’t be touched—each time, his attacks just brushed past the edge of Chad Grant’s clothes. To outsiders, it looked extremely dangerous, but seeing Chad Grant’s calm expression, Simon Grant suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
His fists brushed past Chad Grant’s clothes, but Chad Grant didn’t even blink, clearly confident and calculating Simon Grant’s attacks with terrifying precision. It wasn’t that Chad Grant didn’t want to dodge further, but that he thought dodging just this much was enough to avoid Simon Grant’s attacks.
On the contrary, seeing that he always just brushed past his opponent’s clothes, Simon Grant thought his attack speed was just a bit too slow, so he desperately increased his strength and speed, unknowingly being led by Chad Grant to exceed his own limits. With every attack, he lost a large amount of vital energy.
After only twenty or so more attacks, Simon Grant felt his strength waning, even a sense of exhaustion. More than a dozen consecutive attacks beyond his limit had already drained most of his energy.
Simon Grant was shocked and immediately realized he had fallen into Chad Grant’s trap. He quickly brought his attacks back within his limits, but as his speed suddenly dropped from extremely fast to slow, his rhythm was immediately broken, and an opening appeared.
“Genius—so much for that.”
