Chapter 321: Chapter 319 The Terrifying Xia Qianyue, The Competition Ends

The martial arts competition had already finished two matches, one win and one loss, making the situation quite tense.

Now, the third match was about to begin.

This time, both sides were getting nervous.

"Master, are you confident?"

"Lord Leopard Three, are you questioning me?"

Facing Lord Leopard Three’s query, Master Zhagu’s slightly white eyebrows lifted.

Well, now, who do you think you’re underestimating?

Who am I? I am none other than Master Zhagu!

"Oh, I’m sorry, I got too nervous!"

Only then did Lord Leopard Three remember the stature of the person before him, realizing how foolish his question had been.

Master Zhagu, that’s the martial arts expert of their nation, a master who had been treated with great honor by the head of a country.

Moreover, he had been interviewed by numerous international media outlets and was renowned in the international martial arts realm.

Such a person could truly be described as not just a master... no, a grandmaster of martial arts.

How could a grandmaster possibly lose to a young girl whose hair had barely grown out?

On the other side.

"Silly, are you confident?"

"Zhang Wei, are you questioning me?"

Facing Zhang Wei’s inquiry, Xia Qianyue’s delicate eyebrows lifted.

Well, now, who do you think you’re underestimating?

Who am I? I am Xia Qianyue!

"Oh, I’m sorry, I got too nervous!"

Only then did Zhang Wei remember the caliber of person before him, realizing how absurd his question had been.

Xia Qianyue, she was the person with the most terrifying power level he knew, to this day he had not seen anyone able to withstand her punches.

If there were, then another punch would do.

In any case, as the one with the most terrifying power level on Zhang Wei’s side, she was known by the frightening nickname of "Humanoid Tyrannosaurus."

How could such a person be afraid of an old codger?

However, Zhang Wei thought that Master Zhagu might not be just an ordinary figure.

But to avoid damaging Xia Qianyue’s confidence, he still leaned in and pointed toward the other side, saying, "Silly, if you really were to fight that old man, how many moves do you think it would take to win?"

"Let’s see!"

Xia Qianyue’s gaze locked on Master Zhagu, "Actually, I’ve sized him up just now. The density of his energy is not bad, it might take a bit of effort if he dodges!"

"And if he doesn’t dodge?"

"Doesn’t dodge?"

Xia Qianyue blinked, somewhat surprised.

Would anyone just stand there, let you hit them, and then not dodge?

But she speculated nonetheless and replied, "If he doesn’t dodge then possibly, maybe, probably, a single punch from me could do the trick!"

"Really?"

"Really!"

Seeing Xia Qianyue nod her head earnestly in response, Zhang Wei hurriedly moved closer.

"Silly, then let me ask you, if we were to operate like this, are you confident..."

As Zhang Wei moved closer, Xia Qianyue’s cheeks blushed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed.

But upon hearing Zhang Wei’s idea, she immediately cast aside the shyness of a young girl and started pondering again.

"Hmm, it’s doable, I have no problem!"

After listening to Zhang Wei’s idea, Xia Qianyue immediately took another glance at Master Zhagu and then nodded gravely.

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely sure!"

Xia Qianyue responded with conviction, which gave Zhang Wei a clear idea.

"Alright then!"

Zhang Wei stepped forward and shouted towards Master Zhagu, "Master, our side has a proposal!"

At these words, Lord Leopard Three also stepped forward, "What, do you want to back out?"

He could see that Zhang Wei’s side was definitely losing their nerve.

Seeing their opponent, Master Zhagu, getting ready to enter the fray, they obviously felt the pressure and were preparing to back out.

Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. I, Lord Leopard Three, have been in the game for so many years; who are you trying to fool with your little schemes?

"You’ve misunderstood, we don’t intend to back out, we just want to modify the rules of the competition a bit!"

Zhang Wei quickly explained, pointing to the sky at the same time, "Look, it’s getting late, everyone is eager to get back and rest, so why don’t we finish this quickly?"

"What do you mean by ’finish this quickly’?" Lord Leopard Three immediately asked.

"It’s simple, the last representative sent out by both of our sides will only focus on attacking and defending during the competition, and they’re not allowed to dodge or move around. We take turns with one move each; if one can’t knock down their opponent, then it’s the other’s turn!"

"No dodging, just taking hits, taking turns attacking?"

Lord Leopard Three, after hearing the proposition, exchanged a glance with Master Zhagu.

What kind of method was this, everyone standing and taking hits from the other side?

"Kid, are you hiding some trick, trying to make Master Zhagu take hits for nothing?"

"You’ve all misunderstood, we’ve come with sincerity, so we’ll let Master Zhagu make the first move!"

Just as Lord Leopard Three began to harbor suspicions, Zhang Wei immediately responded.

"Me attack first?"

Lord Leopard Three was finally taken aback, Wasn’t the condition offered by the opponent too generous?

Allowing Master Zhagu to attack first, without the option to dodge, wasn’t that tantamount to handing the initiative over to his own side?

"Master, this..."

"Lord Leopard Three, I know what you are about to ask, but if the opponent really doesn’t dodge, I can decide the victory with one move!"

As Master Zhagu spoke, his face was filled with confidence.

What a joke!

Who am I?

I am none other than Master Zhagu, a renowned martial arts master throughout the entire Blue Star.

Not to mention you’re now having a little girl compete against me, you’re also prepared for a turn-based sparring session where neither side can dodge?

Isn’t this disrespectful to me?

Seeing Lord Leopard Three did not reply, Master Zhagu promptly urged, "Lord Leopard Three, agree to it!"

"Alright then!"

Lord Leopard Three didn’t hesitate either, for the rule sounded advantageous no matter how he heard it.

"Alright, kid, we accept your request, but you better not go back on your word. We have so many people watching you; if you dare to go back on your word, you’re going to pay dearly!"

"Of course, I, Zhang Wei, am someone who keeps his word!"

Hearing Lord Leopard Three’s agreement, Zhang Wei also revealed a smile.

Under "friendly negotiation" between both parties, the rules were changed.

Xia Qianyue and Master Zhagu, each took several steps forward and made their way to the center of the arena.

Xia Qianyue was limbering up her wrists, clearly readying to receive the attack.

Master Zhagu, on the other hand, had a hint of a smile, because he was about to end his opponent with the next move!

"Little girl, it seems you don’t realize what you’re about to face!"

As he spoke, he threw off the robe covering his body, then flung it with great force.

In an instant, his body, covered in fierce wounds, was exposed before the crowd.

Master Zhagu, nearly a century old, was neither skinny nor lean, with vaguely visible muscles rippling across his chest and arms.

Of course, those scars that told countless stories were even more captivating.

"I, Zhagu, have cultivated the martial arts for over 60 years, with a life that has seen over a thousand battles, big and small. My martial arts prowess and combat experience are enough to wipe the floor with you!"

"Little girl, you can still give up now; I don’t wish to use my real skills to defeat a little brat who has no concept of Qi. It would make me feel bored!"

Xia Qianyue, however, was quite unmoved by Master Zhagu’s words, and simply kept warming up her body, getting ready.

"Very well!"

Seeing Xia Qianyue dismiss his "friendly advice," Master Zhagu’s beard bristled in irritation, and his face showed a touch of displeasure.

"Since you insist, I shall let you see what a martial arts grandmaster truly is!"

As Master Zhagu was to attack first, he naturally prepared to strike a killing blow.

The girl’s attitude also made him feel disrespected.

Master Zhagu decided, he would use his full power with this move!

Boom!

He stomped on the ground, which unleashed a burst of airwaves roaring through the air.

Master Zhagu positioned himself in a horse stance, his hands clapped together as he mobilized all of his Qi in an instant.

"Wowowow..."

His beard, moving unexpectedly with the circulation of his Qi, floated up, defying Newton’s laws, and the surrounding air rose up along with the energy emanating from his body.

"Holy crap, a Saiyan!"

Witnessing this scene, Zhang Wei immediately thought of a certain anime protagonist powering up; Master Zhagu’s current state could definitely rival a Saiyan’s.

Zhang Wei regretted it, wondering why he had to respect his elders and betters. Why hadn’t he insisted on the principle of ladies first and let Xia Qianyue attack first?

If the opponent’s posture was truly as powerful as it seemed in the anime, Silly definitely wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

However, in the arena, Xia Qianyue faced Master Zhagu’s power surge with a relaxed expression, only mirroring his action with a defensive gesture of her own.

"Little girl, take this!"

Having finished powering up, Master Zhagu shouted, his legs stamping the ground again as he shot out like a cannonball.

Boom!

In the air, one could vaguely hear the thunderous roar of a jet plane screaming across the sky, while the ground beneath shattered, launching a shadow forth like lightning.

With this strike, Master Zhagu brought with him a fierce gale, which swept away even the likes of Lord Leopard Three and his men, dispersing their forms.

They inwardly exclaimed, what a guy!

This Master Zhagu’s combat power, was it not excessively high-grade? Was he even human?

Within the arena, the distance between the two closed rapidly.

meters, 10 meters, 5 meters, 1 meter...

The two collided!

Boom!

A third wave of air burst forth, mixed with a deep, resonant sound reminiscent of a grand bronze bell being struck.

Without a doubt, Master Zhagu had engaged Xia Qianyue, or rather, according to the rules, Master Zhagu’s attack had hit Xia Qianyue.

Since dodging was not allowed, she had no choice but to take his earth-shattering strike head-on.

"Cough, cough, cough, why is there so much dust?"

Zhang Wei hurriedly waved his hands, trying to dissipate the smoke in front of him, to look toward the center of the arena.

The dust, moved by the breeze, began to dissipate, revealing the two figures in the center gradually coming into focus.

There, the two of them were both maintaining their combat stances as if time had frozen at that moment.

Xia Qianyue had her arms crossed in a defensive block, while Master Zhagu’s palms were firmly pressing down on her slender, intersecting arms.

The two figures remained motionless, but Zhang Wei saw that beneath Xia Qianyue’s feet, the ground had been dragged into two 2-meter long trenches.

That was concrete they were standing on, not dirt, concrete, and yet it had come to this.

If such an attack had hit an ordinary person, wouldn’t they have been shattered to pieces?

But what was the outcome?

Xia Qianyue had actually blocked Master Zhagu’s attack.

"How is that possible!"

From behind, Lord Leopard Three and the others were all astonished.

"How is it possible?"

In the center of the arena, Master Zhagu’s eyes widened in disbelief.

He couldn’t understand how this young girl had managed to withstand his attack.

This doesn’t make sense!

Crack... Crack...

But in the next moment, his disbelief turned to pain as the skin on his hands burst open, flesh flew off, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

Newton’s third law also states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

If you punch someone, it’s the same as them punching you back.

Similarly, Master Zhagu’s attack on Xia Qianyue’s crossed arms meant that her arms were exerting a similar force back onto Master Zhagu’s hands.

And his body was clearly not as sturdy as hers.

"Ahhhhh..."

Master Zhagu screamed once again and flew backward.

But his outcry was due to the intense pain from his injuries.

As he retreated, he picked up a robe from the ground, tore a piece from the hem, and wrapped it around his hands to stop the bleeding.

"Master Zhagu, is it my turn to make a move now..."

However, in the next moment, his old face completely lost its composure at Xia Qianyue’s words.

Fuck!

He had forgotten about that.

His move had already ended, and the result was clear.

Not only was the young lady unharmed, she also had the energy to ask him that question.

"Actually..."

"Master, here I come, take this!"

Just as Master Zhagu was about to say something, he saw Xia Qianyue clench her fists and like a hunting leopard, she sprinted forward.

Her speed accelerated as she charged, and her energy suddenly burst forth, transforming into the form of a fierce tiger.

"Holy shit, even her energy has taken shape!"

Master Zhagu, witnessing this spectacle, was utterly shocked.

What the hell, this is no martial arts novice, but rather a humanoid Tyrannosaurus, playing the pig to eat the tiger?

"What should I do, should I dodge?"

"If I dodge, wouldn’t I, the master, completely lose face..."

"But if I don’t dodge, could I possibly survive under this strike..."

Facing his opponent’s overwhelmingly powerful strike, Master Zhagu was in the midst of an internal struggle.

And as Xia Qianyue drew closer, his body uncontrollably retreated due to the pressure of her approaching strike, barely able to stand, the pressure forcing his eyes shut.

But Master Zhagu knew this was not the full extent of her power.

The strongest blow would come when she was close to making her move.

And yet he was already feeling overwhelmed; the final strike would surely be impossible to defend against.

The distance between them rapidly closed.

meters, 10 meters, 2 meters...

"Wait!"

Just as Master Zhagu could clearly sense the tiger nearing, ready to make his final decision, he finally let out a shout.

With just that shout, Xia Qianyue responded.

In the nick of time, her fist stopped an inch from Master Zhagu’s forehead.

Boom!

A wave of energy erupted, sweeping past the area behind Master Zhagu, creating a violent storm.

On the sea behind him, waves surged up, breaking into layers and scattering as frothy whitecaps.

Even punching the air, the wind she created with her fist was that powerful.

Holy shit!

Holy shit!

Holy shit!

This scene left Zhang Wei and even Lord Leopard Three and the others all dumbstruck, as they all unconsciously gasped in shock.

Terrifying as this!

So terrifying indeed!

Is this even human?

Are you sure this isn’t a scene straight out of a fantasy novel?

In the arena.

Finally, Master Zhagu breathed a sigh of relief, for the force of the strike had all landed behind him.

The sound of the air tearing apart still echoed in his ears, hard to imagine it was made by an ordinary person’s fist.

Waves on the sea surface behind him had yet to settle.

At the same time, what hadn’t subsided were Master Zhagu’s inner panic and fear.

His facial muscles twitched uncontrollably.

If that punch had hit him, he reckoned that his two disciples wouldn’t even need to consider whether to bring back his ashes.

Because under that punch, he would have been pulverized to dust.

"Cough cough..."

Master Zhagu coughed to cover up the fear in his heart.

"My young friend, your skill is indeed beyond my old self..."

As he spoke, he pressed his still-bleeding hands against his trembling legs.

"Regarding today’s duel, I acknowledge that I am one move inferior to you, so let’s not dwell on the outcome..."

If I don’t mention it, doesn’t that mean I haven’t lost~

I never said I lost anyway, how you all interpret it is up to you, it has nothing to do with me~

Master Zhagu smiled slightly, waving his hand as he made his way towards his two disciples.

"I’m rather tired, let’s call it a day with the duel!"

Time to dash, hurry!

Right now, Master Zhagu could only think of making a beeline for the hotel to settle down, keen on taking a good bath and changing his pants.

At the very last moment, in a critical juncture of life and death, he hadn’t been able to hold it in, and indeed had wet himself...

He needed to make a quick escape before anyone noticed.

"Hold on!"

But just as Master Zhagu was about to flee, Zhang Wei suddenly spoke up to interrupt.

"Since the Master admits defeat, what about our bet!"

I didn’t, I haven’t, don’t talk nonsense!

Master Zhagu internally denied it in threes, insisting that it was all their assumption; he hadn’t admitted anything.

But seeing Xia Qianyue also looking at him, Master Zhagu didn’t dare to object, fearing another round of competition.

"The skill of this young friend truly opens my eyes. The result of the match is quite clear, I am indeed inferior!"

Master Zhagu conceded, thus it was Lord Leopard Three and his crew who became unsettled.

"Boss, you can’t abandon me!" Sang Biao was absolutely terrified.

Seeing Zhang Wei’s group looking at him hungrily, he was extremely scared.

"Boss..."

"Ah Biao, rest assured, I won’t abandon you!"

"Boss..."

"Whenever you come back, you know where to find me..."

"Boss, you..."

"What ’you’? Honor the bet, got it?"

Faced with Sang Biao’s plea, Lord Leopard Three turned his head away, his tone suddenly growing ice-cold.

Are you kidding?

Didn’t you see they’re all looking this way?

He suspected that if he so much as uttered a "no", he wouldn’t be able to leave today.

That punch was a close shave, hitting thin air instead; if it had struck him, wouldn’t he be gone?

So listen, Ah Biao!

Some things, you have to learn to bear on your own.

"Ah Biao, don’t worry, I, Lord Leopard Three, promise you, as long as you make it back alive, there will always be a place for you under my command."

"Boss..."

Sang Biao was on the verge of tears, but not out of gratitude.

He didn’t dare to run now, since his legs had gone soft; how could he?

Zhang Wei and Xia Qianyue, both smiling, approached him.

"Ah Biao, come with us, we need to have a clear conversation about some things!"

"Great heroes, woman knight, I’ll listen to you..."

Sang Biao squeezed out a smile uglier than crying and followed along with Zhang Wei’s group.

Seeing Zhang Wei’s group depart, both Lord Leopard Three and Master Zhagu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, where shall we go now?"

"I need to go to the hotel... no, I mean a men’s clothing store!"

"Ah, what do you need from a men’s clothing store?"

"I need to buy a new pair of pants..."
