Chapter 204 - Unlimited Is The Sky For Birds To Fly At Ease

In Lu Chen’s impression, Li Mushi was one of those very beautiful and shrewd modern woman.

Regardless of her sexual orientation, this young lady of the Li family, who graduated from the Wharton School of Business, has a cheerful personality and a keen business sense. Under her control, Muchen Crowdfunding became vivid and full of vitality.

Lu Chen still admired her very much.

But the Li Mushi that was standing in front of Lu Chen at this moment has a completely different image.

She was like a female leopard with her claws exposed, beautiful and dangerous!

Especially Li Mushi’s eyes that were staring at Lu Chen. They were shining with excitement. It was as if she had caught sight of her delicious prey, and was ready to pounce.

“Haha, who is this guy?”

“Competing with our eldest sister, isn’t that looking for abuse?”

“Do you think this brother really has courage, or does he not know our Elder Sister Mushi’s strength?”

“He definitely doesn’t know…”

In terms of body size alone, Lu Chen, who was 180cm+ tall, would surely overwhelmed Li Mushi. And after long-term unremitting exercise and nutritional replenishment, his physique was also quite strong.

In addition, Lu Chen was also a man. It was reasonable to say that the onlookers should be worried about Li Mushi.

However, the truth was quite the opposite. Most of the people around the ring looked at Lu Chen with banter, schadenfreude, and even compassion.

Someone recognized Lu Chen: “Huh? Isn’t he Lu Chen, the champion of Singing China?”

“What Singing China? You say he sings?”

“Un! he’s a singer. He sings very well, and he’s very talented. Have you ever heard of your “You Who Sat Next To Me”? He sang it.”

“Haha, Sister Mu Shi is abusing food![1]“

The sound of their discussion reached Lu Chen’s ears clearly, and made the corners of his mouth twitch.

So, I’m just a singer?

That doesn’t seem to be wrong.

Li Mushi noticed Lu Chen’s expression and said with a light smile, “Don’t worry, I will be very gentle.”

Lu Chen felt that the corners of his mouth were cramping.

He sighed and said, “Big Sister Mu Shi, you go first.”

Li Mushi’s eyes flashed and she suddenly stepped forward. In an instant, she approached Lu Chen.

She was like a leopard swooping down on its prey in the jungle!

When she got in close range to his body, she suddenly waved her right arm. The four fingers of her right hand were drawn together, and her thumb bent close to the base of her index finger. A standard palm knife struck at Lu Chen’s neck with lightning speed and force. Its speed and force broke through the air and generate wind.

If it were ordinary people, perhaps they wouldn’t have time to react and would be chopped down in an instant.

It was quite possible to get knocked unconscious from it!

But Lu Chen had been on guard. Without thinking, he raised his left arm and accurately blocked the trajectory of Li Mushi’s chopping with his elbow. At the same time, his right hand made a fist and shot straight at Li Mushi.

Pa!

Li Mushi’s palm hit Lu Chen’s elbow, and failed to complete the winning blow.

Facing Lu Chen’s incoming fist, she dodged nimbly to the side, twisted her waist and jumped up. Her slender right leg flew up at the same time, and she kicked out a beautiful whirling kick.

The two sides engaged in a hand-to-hand combat. Li Mushi’s dodge and counterattack action could be described as wonderful, and her flying legs were full of strength and power.

“Good!”

All the onlookers around the ring cheered in unison, all of the very excited!

In their opinion, Lu Chen was certain to lose. Although Li Mushi’s strength in free fighting couldn’t be compared with the top masters, it was absolutely easy to win against a singer.

Even if Lu Chen appeared to be someone that have real skills.

Bang!

But those people were bound to be disappointed. Li Mushi’s whirling kick was blocked again by Lu Chen’s raised left arm!

Before her body fell, Lu Chen turned sideways and punched out again.

The punch seemed to be slow and solid, and the strength it contained was silent.

It hit Li Mushi in the abdomen!

Li Mushi was airborne, so it was impossible to dodge at all. With a muffled sound, she flew out like a kite with a broken line, and fell heavily on the ring several meters away!

The cheers around the ring came to an abrupt end. The onlookers’ expressions were frozen, like a ghost!

How could that be?

In their opinion, Lu Chen, who dared to compete with Li Mushi, was doomed to be beaten to pieces. It was just a matter of time. There was no suspense about the outcome.

But now the two sides have just fought, Li Mushi was beating to the ground, unexpectedly collapsed at a single blow.

This completely subverted everyone’s common sense, and suddenly there was complete silence!

Lu Chen folded his hands and said with a faint smile, “Big Sister Mu Shi, concede.”

It was just that under his smile, he was hiding the pain.

Although he unexpectedly defeated Li Mushi, Lu Chen was actually not unscathed. His left arm, which he had used to forcefully received the whirling kick, was numb and swollen. it was estimated that he had hurt his muscles.

Li Mushi’s kick was very powerful, and his physical training was far from enough.

Li Mushi struggled to get up and stared at him fiercely, her eyes full of shame and defiance.

Her right hand was pressed on her abdomen – Lu Chen’s fist was heavy.

Without showing any bit of tenderness to the fairer sex.[2]

After a moment, she said in a low voice, “I lost…”

The eldest daughter of the Li Family was a very proud person. A loss was a loss. She would never go back on her words or refuse to admit defeat.

But she was really unconvinced!

Lu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

To tell the truth, Li Mushi has a strong foundation in skills, but she was eager to win. Without occupying an absolute advantage, she actually made such an action as a whirling kick. She simply didn’t put him in her eyes![3]

Lu Chen’s martial arts skills came from Mo Ran.

Although this actor in the dream world wasn’t very famous, he has made great efforts in martial arts training and physical training. Moreover, he has a lot of experience fighting other people. It was real martial arts.

Since waking up that day, Lu Chen has exercised every day, rain or shine. His basic physical quality was good, and he has the talent in this respect. Until now, he dared not tell the truth, and there was no problem in defeating Li Mushi, who underestimated the enemy.

Given time, Lu Chen could be stronger than Mo Ran, because he was still very young!

If Li Mushi fought with Lu Chen steadily, the result would have been uncertain. Now she could only swallow the bitter fruit of failure.

Li Mushi could also afford to lose. She soon calmed down, raised her head again, and said to Lu Chen, “Next time, you won’t beat me so easily!”

Next time?

Lu Chen shook his head – There was nothing interesting or glorious about beating a woman.

If there was a chance. He would like to have some practice with other people here.

Lu Chen’s eyes glanced at the people around the ring. There should be suitable opponents among them.

Lu Chen also had a good idea in his heart.

But the time wasn’t yet ripe.

He got off the ring.

But at this time, the onlookers looked at Lu Chen with completely different eyes. They were surprised, awed and curious…

Lu Chen went to the dressing room to change into his clothes.

He returned to his original seat and sat down.

Not long after, Li Mushi also came.

The young lady of the Li family has completely calmed down and seemed to have accepted her miserable defeat to Lu Chen.

But the light in her eyes showed that she wasn’t going to give up.

“Lu Chen, where did you learn your martial arts?”

Li Mushi was really curious. She had read Lu Chen’s information, but it didn’t say that Lu Chen has also practiced martial arts.

In fact, his skills were very good.

The eldest daughter of the Li Family felt a dull pain in her abdomen, and there was a hint of her gritting her teeth on her face.

She has never lost so badly!

Knowing that Li Mushi wanted to set himself up, Lu Chen said with a smile, “Self-taught…”

He reached out his hand, tapped on the table, and asked, “The conditions you promised will not change, right?”

Li Mushi snorted and said: “20 million yuan to buy 41% of your shares in Muchen Crowdfunding. You can keep 10% of the non-dilutive founder shares. We will sign the contract tomorrow!”

“As for your Big Sister…”

She glared at Lu Chen: “I will not take the initiative to look for her in the future, unless she comes to me.”

Lu Chen couldn’t help feeling happy in his heart and said sincerely: “Thank you, Big Sister Mushi!”

Lu Chen was really grateful to Li Mushi.

With this money, he could finally pay off all the debts of his family.

Not only that, the money left after paying off the debt would allow him to realize a wish he had always kept in his heart!

From then on, there would be no more debt and no more burden, and from then on, boundless is the sea for fish to dive at will, unlimited is the sky for birds to fly at ease![4]

Of course, Li Mushi wouldn’t suffer a loss. Under her control and management, the prospect of Muchen crowdfunding was extremely bright.

Although Lu Chen transferred most of his shares now, he might lose his future benefits.

But to be a human being, one must know how to be satisfied with what one has.

Compared with his contribution, 20 million was already an astonishing excess return. Not to mention the retention of 10% shares.

Lu Chen was satisfied.

Li Mushi couldn’t bear seeing Lu Chen so happy and said, “Don’t be happy too early. I have a condition!”

Lu Chen was stunned: “What’s the condition?”

Li Mushi said, “From now on, you will come here several times a month to practice martial arts with me. Otherwise…”

Without waiting for her to finish, Lu Chen agreed: “No problem! As long as I’m free, I’ll come!”

Having such a martial arts training venue was simply great!

As for being Li Mushi’s sparring partner, it was a piece of cake.

Li Mushi was a good opponent.

Seeing Lu Chen promising so happily made Li Mushi felt that her plan seemed to have failed again.

The eldest daughter of the Li Family was very upset, but there was nothing she could do about it.

She kept in her heart – she would get her place back one day!

The next afternoon, in the new company of Muchen Crowdfunding, the two parties formally signed an equity transfer agreement.

According to the agreement, the money for the purchase of shares will be credited to Lu Chen’s personal account within three days.

After solving this important matter, Lu Chen didn’t relax.

His career has just begun!

On the morning of October 10, Lu Chen came to the Flying Stone Records in the New Age Art Park.

At the invitation of Lin Zhijie, he came to listen to the title song of MSN girls’ group’s debut album.

The title song of this album was of course written by Lu Chen

[1] Abusing food – a gaming term in China which mean easily winning against the opponent, leaving the opponent with no counterattack. Like a fight between a pro and a noob.

[2] So, his fist was heavy without showing any bit of tenderness to the fairer sex. So, he didn’t go easy on her or he didn’t hold back his punch.

[3] She didn’t put him in her eyes. Or she underestimated him.

[4] 海阔凭鱼跃,天高任鸟飞 – the second half is also the title of the chapter. This is a metaphor which means one could move freely. And that people can freely display their talents in the vast world. So, there’s nothing restricting him now.
