The Lu family's boxing was known for its speed, precision, and ferocity, snapping out like the wind to win through cleverness, and Lu Dong had almost fully mastered the essence of Lu family boxing, displaying it to its utmost. Watching Lu Dong make his move, Lu Qian, watching from below, nodded satisfactorily.
As Lu Dong closed in on Lin Chen, it was finally Lin Chen's turn to move.
However, upon seeing Lin Chen's move, Lu Qian's gaze sharpened, and his tea cup shook violently, because Lin Chen's technique was identical to Lu Dong's.
"How is this possible?"
Lu Dong was using the seventy-two forms of Lu family boxing - a secret art of the Lu family never passed to outsiders. How had Lin Chen learned them?
With every direct punch from Lu Dong, Lin Chen matched with a direct punch of his own; every Mountain Splitting Palm from Lu Dong, Lin Chen responded in kind.
Lin Chen had activated his copying ability. Any technique his opponent used, he would perfectly replicate, evolving it into his own technique.
The more Lu Dong fought, the more awkward he felt. It was like he was sparring with his own shadow, as whatever technique he deployed, Lin Chen would counter with the sa, turning his attacks aside with even more speed and power.
After more than a dozen exchanges, Lin Chen had completely shattered Lu Dong's confidence. Lu Dong had fought countless battles, big and small, but never had he felt as frustrated as he did today.
Eventually, Lu Dong stepped out of the ring in dejection, "How do you know our Lu family's boxing techniques?"
Lin Chen smiled, "Just learned it!"
"What?" Lin Chen's words shocked Lu Dong, and Lu Qian actually spat out the tea he had just sipped.
Their Lu family boxing took at least a decade or two to master. Lu Dong had been practicing Lu family boxing since he was four, which led to his current expertise. Yet Lin Chen had learned it in a matter of seconds. Since when had the Lu family boxing beco so easy to learn?
"Genius, absolute genius!" Lu Qian and Lu Dong almost imdiately thought of the word "genius" to describe Lin Chen.
"Not fighting anymore?" Lin Chen looked at Lu Dong still eager to continue.
Hearing this, Lu Dong beca angry and frustrated, "If we keep fighting, you'll have stolen all our Lu family boxing techniques. It's over; I admit defeat."
The students watching below were almost stunned. Director Lu actually admitted defeat.
Lu Dong was known for his strong character; no matter how tough the opponent, he always grew more determined with setbacks and had never conceded defeat. But today, after only a dozen moves with this young man, he had surrendered voluntarily.
"How can this be? We haven't determined a winner yet. Co on, let's fight another eight hundred rounds," Lin Chen, unwilling to give up this opportunity to stealthily learn new skills, grabbed Lu Dong, insisting on continuing the bout.
Later, Lu Dong simply leapt from the ring, refusing to play with Lin Chen any longer.
Lin Chen, frustrated, had no choice but to jump down as well, "Elder Lu, your son is really not sportsmanlike, running off before we've had enough fun."
"You've stealthily learned more than a dozen techniques of our Lu family boxing and still have the nerve to act innocent," Lu Qian said with a mix of laughter and tears as he looked at Lin Chen, who wore an aggrieved expression.
Lu Dong too felt a bit embarrassed, "Lin Chen, with your strength, joining the Martial Arts Alliance should be no problem. I'll act as your referee. Though there are tests, they should be a re formality for you. There's a martial arts test at nine o'clock this Sunday morning, just rember to attend."
Lin Chen nodded and bowed with his fists, "Thank you, Elder Lu and Director Lu. Let's have another spar soti."
At that, Lu Dong's face turned green, "Brother Lin's martial arts are unparalleled; I'm not in your league. Let's forget about it."
What Lin Chen called sparring was plainly learning by stealth. A few more bouts and Lu Dong feared his family's boxing techniques would all be pilfered by Lin Chen.
After saying goodbye to the sullen Lu father and son, Lin Chen called Xue Ying.
"Ying Jie, I'd like to get a driver's license. Can you recomnd a driving school for ?"
Xue Ying smiled, "You should have learned to drive a long ti ago. A future billionaire still riding an electric scooter, even I feel embarrassed for you. How about this, I'll have soone get you a permit, and then you can practice with my car, going straight on the road."
"That won't do, I don't want to beco an assassin on the road. It's better to learn for real." Lin Chen declined Xue Ying's kind offer.
"Okay, I have a friend who happens to run a driving school. I'll send you the address, and you can go learn directly there," Xue Ying said, accepting Lin Chen's character and not insisting further.
"Oh, and you only have half a day off. Tonight we have the product launch event, and you must attend!" Xue Ying said with a smile.
"Got it," Lin Chen replied and rode his electric scooter to Jindun Driving School, following the address in the ssage.
Due to Xue Ying's heads-up, Principal Li of Jindun Driving School actually ca out to greet him personally.
"Young Brother Lin, you're a friend of President Xue,so you are also my friend. I will arrange for our best teacher to give you one-on-one instruction in the hope of getting your license within two days," the driving school principal said, eager to please.
"Thank you, Principal Li," Lin Chen smiled.
At this mont, a middle-aged man in his forties approached with a serious face and said to Lin Chen, "I'll be your driving instructor from now on. No matter who referred you, you have to study hard under , or I won't let you on the road."
Principal Li laughed awkwardly and said, "Young Brother Lin, this is Coach Sun. He's notoriously strict with his students, but his pass rate is one hundred percent. You'll have no problem learning from him."
Lin Chen nodded, "Thank you, Principal Li. I will study diligently with Coach Sun."
Coach Sun, a very ticulous person, got Lin Chen into the car and briefly explained its various functions, then said, "This morning you'll practice reversing. Try to get it right within the morning."
Coach Sun then started driving while providing explanations and demonstrating techniques, then asked, "Rember the key points I told you? Give it a try yourself."
Lin Chen nodded, took a seat in the driver's cabin, and while he usually saw others driving, this was his first ti behind the wheel, and he couldn't help feeling a bit excited.
With the car in reverse gear, Lin Chen eased off the clutch with his left foot, and the car slowly moved, nearly completing the maneuver in one shot and reversing straight into the parking space.
Coach Sun, standing by, was almost stunned. Was this really a newbie? His parking was even more textbook than Sun's own.
"Are you sure you've never driven before?" Coach Sun asked, staring at Lin Chen.
"I haven't, really, it's my first ti," Lin Chen smiled and replied.
"Try again!" Coach Sun said skeptically. He had taught hundreds, perhaps thousands, of students, but he had never encountered one with such quick comprehension.
This ti as well, the car reversed accurately into the parking space, the process perfect for a teaching demo.
In reality, what facilitated Lin Chen's quick learning was his "Divine Skills."
Even though Coach Sun had only demonstrated once, Lin Chen had copied it perfectly.
Lin Chen quickly mastered the other subjects as well, and in less than half an hour, Coach Sun sowhat speechlessly said, "Alright, you can go take the test now."
In one morning, Lin Chen completed all the procedures for the driving test. With Xue Ying's help, he smoothly got his driver's license.
Today, Lin Chen finally experienced the power of the copying ability. Of course, what excited him even more was that he could finally buy his own car—riding his electric scooter, he headed straight for the auto city.
