Chapter 515 Sincerely convinced
Upon hearing Zhou Jinqiang's words, Jin Linfei immediately retorted, "Captain Zhou, you can't be rude. Back when we were just ordinary people, Brother Li was already a very powerful superhuman. Now, so many years have passed, you can't possibly defeat him."
Zhou Jinqiang stubbornly raised his head: "Not necessarily. The student surpasses the master. His prowess is a thing of the past. Who knows if he will still be at the top now? In our Jinlan City, we also have some ability users who reached level 9 a long time ago. They were so powerful back then. Now I'm level 11, and some of them are still level 9."
Li Chenglong stopped Jin Linfei, who was about to continue speaking, and stepped forward, saying, "I heard from Commander Wang Hai that the superhuman brigade currently has 26 level 11 superhumans. With my current strength, it would be too much of an insult to fight you alone. It would be better if all 26 of you, or even all 122 level 10 superhumans, came together."
Li Chenglong's words immediately caused a sensation. Many superhumans scoffed at his words, and even Jin Linfei and Jin Mengfei couldn't help but pull him back, trying to stop his almost fanciful idea.
Zhou Jinqiang laughed loudly: "You're too arrogant! We don't need so many people to deal with you; I alone am enough!"
After saying that, he unleashed the aura of an 11th-level, three-elemental ability user, and charged towards Li Chenglong with a punch. Li Chenglong first told the two women beside him to retreat, and then stood there without dodging or avoiding, facing the intimidating Zhou Jinqiang directly.
Zhou Jinqiang clenched his right fist. Because he possessed three different types of superpowers, the aura emanating from his fist was also divided into three types. He struck Li Chenglong's chest with all his might, while some of the people around him cheered him on, some looked serious, and others were extremely worried about Li Chenglong.
The moment Zhou Jinqiang's powerful punch landed on Li Chenglong's chest, a "crack" was heard. The scene that many people imagined, where Li Chenglong was knocked away, did not occur. Instead, Zhou Jinqiang's right arm was fractured, turning into a bizarre V-shape.
Zhou Jinqiang stared in disbelief at his broken arm. Li Chenglong said slowly, "I told you all to come at me together, but you insisted on coming alone." With that, he took Zhou Jinqiang's broken arm and gently pulled it, restoring it to its original shape.
Just as Zhou Jinqiang was about to say something, Li Chenglong shouted, "Don't move! If you move around, I can't guarantee your arm will heal properly." Everyone then saw that the area where Zhou Jinqiang had broken his leg was now surrounded by a pale green ball of light, and the energy emanating from this ball of light made them feel incredibly comfortable.
Just 30 seconds later, Li Chenglong released his grip and said with a smile, "Try moving around a bit and see how it goes." Zhou Jinqiang was hesitant to move at first, but after several attempts, he finally relaxed and even performed a set of military boxing.
He said somewhat excitedly, "Thank you for healing me, but that doesn't make me acknowledge you. I can't beat you just because I'm too weak. Besides, you just said that we can all come at you together. In my opinion, even if there are many level 10 ability users, it's useless. Do you dare to challenge 26 of us level 11 ability users by yourself?"
Li Chenglong smiled slightly: "What's so difficult about that? Time is precious, so let's start now." Zhou Jinqiang nodded and then began to have his men retreat. Meanwhile, the level 11 ability users had already surrounded Li Chenglong, looking eager to try their luck.
Jin Mengfei asked worriedly, "Brother Li, are you alright?" Li Chenglong shook his head: "No need to worry, I'll finish as soon as possible."
Seeing that his men were already in position, Zhou Jinqiang immediately said, "Everyone, give it your all! He's not someone to be trifled with! 3, 2, 1, go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw Li Chenglong suddenly disappear from the spot, and the people surrounding him flew away one by one. In less than five seconds, he was the only one standing there.
"That's too strong! Just what level is he?!" a level 10 ability user watching nearby murmured. Li Chenglong looked at the group of level 11 ability users who had been sent flying seven or eight meters and were still lying on the ground groaning, and said, "Do you want to try again?"
Zhou Jinqiang struggled to his feet, shaking his head and waving his hands, saying, "I'm not coming anymore, I admit we're no match for you." The other level 11 ability users also stood up, either with the help of others or with each other's assistance. This crushing defeat finally made them realize the enormous gap between the two sides.
Zhou Jinqiang clutched his still throbbing back. He could clearly feel that he had been kicked from behind, but in less than five seconds, how could the person in front of him have managed to defeat all 26 of his level 11 ability users?
However, he was now completely convinced. He gathered his men together and said to Li Chenglong, "We were blind to your greatness and offended General Li. Please forgive us. Now it seems that our strength is indeed lacking in many areas, and we would appreciate your guidance."
Seeing Zhou Jinqiang take the initiative to admit his mistake, the Jin sisters couldn't help but smile. Jin Linfei walked to Li Chenglong's side: "Brother Li, I'm entrusting this team of superhumans to you. Manage them however you like. I believe that under your guidance, they will definitely be transformed."
Li Chenglong addressed the crowd solemnly, “Some of you here should recognize me, while others may have heard of me but haven’t seen me before. Let me introduce myself again. My name is Li Chenglong, and I come from another planet. Six years ago, our team came here to help you overcome the zombie crisis. This time, my spaceship crashed during a mission, and I ended up here again. This time, I want to use my knowledge and abilities to help you, the superhumans, better utilize your strengths.”
He then repeated what he had just said to the Jin sisters to everyone, pointing out their shortcomings and some urgent problems that needed to be addressed. Throughout the afternoon, he sometimes trained everyone and sometimes explained things about people with special abilities, leaving everyone feeling they had benefited greatly.
At 6:7 p.m., since it was July and still not dark, Li Chenglong addressed the neatly lined-up group of superhumans: "Everyone, please disperse and rest, have a good meal, and then wash up. Tonight at 8 p.m., I will give you a systematic lecture on superhuman knowledge in the large multimedia classroom next door. Unless there are extremely special circumstances, no one is allowed to take leave."
Everyone felt as if they had been granted a pardon, and dragged their exhausted bodies toward the canteen. Zhao Yang, one of Zhou Jinqiang's adjutants and a level 11 wind-type speed-type dual-ability user, said to Zhou Jinqiang, "Captain Zhou, isn't Instructor Li's training too strict? This afternoon during training, I felt like I was about to die. If I didn't do something perfectly, I had to do it again. We're all ability users, is it really necessary to be like this?"
Zhou Jinqiang's face darkened, and he said to Zhao Yang with dissatisfaction, "At first, I didn't understand either, but now it seems that what Instructor Li said is right. I was too lenient with you before, and I indulged you in many things, which made you more and more lazy and your skills have not improved at all."
Another squad leader, Qian Li, an 11th-level fire and water dual-ability user, said: "Although the training was tiring, I felt incredibly refreshed and relaxed afterward, as if all my meridians were open. Moreover, Instructor Li was very patient during the training. He could answer any question patiently, and he could provide very accurate guidance to all ability users, regardless of their ability."
Zhou Jinqiang said, "Anyway, no matter what others say, I am convinced, and I admire him to the point of prostration. Instructor Li is not only strong, but also knowledgeable. His understanding of people with superpowers far surpasses that of us. As the ancients said, 'A wise man is a teacher.' We must seize this opportunity and learn from him properly."
He paused, then spoke with a serious expression: "Tell everyone in the brigade that they all need to come to my class tonight. Anyone who doesn't come doesn't need to come at all. Also, everyone needs to take notes on everything Instructor Li teaches from now on. I'll be checking them later, and anyone who doesn't meet the standards can get out of here."
At 8 p.m., Li Chenglong's lecture began on time. The large multimedia classroom, which could accommodate 500 people, was packed with more than 800. In addition to the level 9 and above superhumans from the superhuman brigade, there were also other superhumans of lower levels. They had all come because they heard that Li Chenglong was going to teach superhumans.
