Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Let’s Fight
"I’m strong, so I can carry a person and still come in first. You’re not, so all you can do is stand here and tell the instructor I’m cheating." Lin Jingjing’s words were viciously sharp, twisting the knife.
She knew how sensitive he was about his strength, yet she kept dancing all over his sore spot.
Hearing this, Corey’s handsome face twisted with rage.
Lin Jingjing looked at him, chuckled, and said, "Poser."
Hearing Lin Jingjing’s remark, Corey cursed under his breath, "Bitch!"
That one word instantly made the faces of all five of them darken.
"Come on, let’s fight!" Gu Kaiwen, who had a fiery temper, took a few steps forward, glaring at Corey and yelling.
"I’ll show you what happens when you run your mouth!"
Shi Feng stepped forward too. His baby face was contorted with fury as he stared at Corey, his ferocious gaze looking as if it could tear him to shreds.
Mo Xuan didn’t say a harsh word, but the look he gave Corey was that of a man looking at a corpse.
The three of them stood at the front, shielding the two girls behind them.
Their ferocious glares, the killing intent radiating from them... Corey felt it all.
A spoiled brat like him, who had been coddled his whole life and never faced a life-or-death situation, would naturally be terrified by the killing intent emanating from the three of them.
Cyril, standing nearby, noticed Corey’s fear. He took a step forward, his icy gaze sweeping over the three of them.
"If you want to fight, then fight. Just don’t regret it," Cyril said coldly.
Lin Jingjing moved past the three boys to stand before Cyril. "Fine, let’s fight. We’re not afraid of you."
"Whoever backs down is a coward," Lin Jingjing said, flipping them the bird.
’Do they really think we’re wimps?!’
Seeing the two groups bristling with hostility, Jiang Lusheng finally rose from his chair.
He first looked at both sides, then called out to Lin Jingjing, "Lin Jingjing, get over here."
Hearing the instructor’s voice, Lin Jingjing turned back with a smile and asked, "What is it, Instructor?"
Even so, she obediently walked over.
Jiang Lusheng removed the weighted rings from her wrists. After examining them carefully, he held them up for everyone to see.
"The weighted rings are normal. There’s nothing wrong with them. If you don’t believe me, you can try them for yourselves." Jiang Lusheng’s voice was loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly.
Someone nearby immediately took them to inspect. The moment she held them, the female student was caught off guard, and her hands dropped.
"They didn’t cheat," the girl called out, staring down at the rings.
Seeing her reaction, everyone understood.
’This girl didn’t cheat... that means her strength is just insane.’
Corey and Cyril’s expressions turned even uglier.
"Trash," Shi Feng said at this moment, his words especially venomous.
That single word provoked the two of them. Corey yelled, "A fight it is! You think we’re afraid of you?"
"Bring it on!" Gu Kaiwen roared back.
The two sides were at each other’s throats again. Jiang Lusheng felt a headache coming on as he watched them.
But if they wanted to fight, then let them fight.
Besides, neither side would back down without one.
Jiang Lusheng looked at everyone and announced, "Alright, everyone clear the area. Let them have a match."
Hearing Jiang Lusheng’s words, everyone moved to the side.
In an instant, a large open space cleared out in front of them.
"2v2. Who from your side is up?" Corey asked, looking at the five of them.
Mo Xuan, who had been silent until now, stepped forward. "I’ll go."
When Lin Jingjing heard this, she quickly stepped up. "Me too."
Gu Kaiwen was a step too slow, a disappointed look on his face. He couldn’t believe Lin Jingjing had beaten him to it.
The participants were chosen in a flash. The onlookers in the front row sat down so those behind them could see.
Corey was the first to step up from the opposing side. He had been the loudest and was the most desperate to prove he was the strongest.
Meanwhile, the two on this side were still arguing over who should go first. Feng He watched them, speechless, and facepalmed.
"I’ll go first. You’re strong, so you can handle the last one," Mo Xuan told her.
But Lin Jingjing quickly retorted, "No way. I’m afraid I can’t beat the last one either."
Hearing their conversation and seeing them trying to defer to one another, Corey and Cyril couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Corey taunted from the side, "What, scared?"
"If you’re scared, get on your knees and apologize. Maybe we’ll consider letting you off."
Just then, a female voice cut through the noise, "Arguing back and forth... you’re not scared, are you?"
"Trash is trash, even if you come in first."
Hearing this, the two who were still bickering froze. Their expressions changed. Mo Xuan’s face turned cold as he said, "I’ll go. Watch me beat that arrogant bastard to death."
Lin Jingjing stopped arguing. She clapped him on the shoulder, her expression completely serious. "Yeah. Make sure you put him on the ground."
Mo Xuan gave an "OK" sign. ’Let this old ancestor teach the younger generation a lesson.’
The two of them stood in the competition area. The instructor took out a protective shield and enveloped the open space in the middle.
This was to prevent their powerful spiritual power, once released, from accidentally harming the spectators.
Mo Xuan and Corey stood opposite each other, their gazes locked.
And both could see the absolute determination to win in the other’s eyes.
Corey attacked first. He released a wave of spiritual pressure, attempting to crush Mo Xuan to the ground like before.
But the Mo Xuan of today was no longer the utterly powerless boy from before. His spiritual power had undergone an extraordinary enhancement from pushing past his physical limits time and time again.
All five of them were the same.
When Corey saw that his spiritual pressure didn’t flatten Mo Xuan as it had before, he immediately clenched his fists and charged, throwing a punch at Mo Xuan’s face.
But just as the punch was about to land, Mo Xuan raised a hand and grabbed his wrist, took a step forward, and sent him flying with a shoulder throw.
While his opponent was still dazed from the fall, Mo Xuan raised a fist and brought it crashing down on him.
But Corey was only stunned for a moment before he reacted, hastily blocking the fist that was coming down on him.
He focused his spiritual power, and a crimson hammer materialized.
After grabbing the hammer, he raised his arm and viciously swung it at Mo Xuan.
The moment Mo Xuan saw the hammer materialize, his fist tightened. He quickly threw a punch at Corey’s face, intending to dodge away.
But Corey was too fast. He had only dodged halfway when the hammer slammed into his waist.
He had to admit, that hammer strike really hurt. Mo Xuan clutched his side, grimacing in pain.
Corey climbed up from the ground, holding his crimson hammer in one hand while wiping the blood from his face with the other.
