Chapter 29: Chapter 0029: Encirclement

"Although our class can’t participate in the school basketball competition, Tang Ming with his skills, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to be selected for the school basketball team. We really hope you lead Tianjiao High into the top sixteen in the city,"

At that moment, the sports teacher from class five came over and said to Tang Ming, "Tang Ming, your basketball skills are impressive. I want you to join the school team."

"Teacher, I’m afraid I can’t join, but thank you for your kind offer."

Tang Ming declined with a smile. He had come to study here primarily to protect Liu Mengting; how could he run off to join some school team, especially since he didn’t even like playing basketball that much?

"Well, alright then, students should prioritize their academics."

The sports teacher thought Tang Ming was worried about interfering with his studies, which is why he had declined.

After school in the afternoon, Tang Ming and Liu Mengting walked out one after another. However, at the school gate, there was a gathering of people, obviously there to see what was happening.

Zhou Dafu, panting heavily, ran back from outside and said to Tang Ming while leaning on his shoulder, "Brother Ming, Ma Gangqiang is waiting for you at the gate; how about we head out later?"

"I had anticipated this. That guy is petty and likes to show off. He couldn’t handle being beaten on the basketball court, so he definitely wants to try something sneaky, but he lost and still owes me three kowtows; I need to go and collect them."

After finishing his sentence, Tang Ming disregarded the fatty’s advice and strode towards the school gate.

Right at the school gate by the roadside, Ma Gangqiang, accompanied by a few students from class nine, saw Tang Ming coming out and immediately walked towards him with murderous intent.

On the roadside, many students were watching eagerly; many knew that today Tang Ming from class five had defeated class nine by himself.

He even deeply humiliated Ma Gangqiang, the school bully, who certainly wasn’t going to take that lying down—he wanted to recover his dignity after school!

"Tang Ming, you fucking dare to step out of school; feels brave, huh?"

One of Ma Gangqiang’s lackeys started cursing at him.

Tang Ming didn’t recognize this lackey, but it was obvious he was one of Ma Gangqiang’s followers.

"Of course I’m coming out. Your class nine lost today, someone bet with me. Was it you? If you’re too scared, you can deny it."

Tang Ming said, folding his arms with a smile.

Zhou Youfu, standing behind him, saw so many menacing students from class nine. His legs were trembling, but everyone was focused on Tang Ming, so naturally, no one noticed him.

"Someone made a bet? Was it my mom?"

The lackey seemed confused and asked in reply.

Ma Gangqiang’s face twitched with anger. Mentioning the bet would only embarrass him further. Angrily, he pulled the lackey back, "Don’t fucking run your mouth! Tang Ming, cut the crap!"

"Whoever loses the basketball game must kneel down and kowtow three times, calling the other ’Grandpa.’

Tang Ming looked at Ma Gangqiang and said:

"Ma Gangqiang, your class lost, and you still haven’t fulfilled your promise. Can’t you accept your loss?"

"Fuck your mom."

Ma Gangqiang argued, "Who bet with you? Today I’m just going to beat you up and teach you a lesson for your arrogance."

Not far away, Liu Mengting, who had been waiting for Tang Ming to get in the car, was getting impatient. She got out of the car to hurry Tang Ming up, but as she approached, she saw Ma Gangqiang with a group of people about to make a move on Tang Ming.

"Stop."

Liu Mengting was getting impatient. After school, Tang Ming was dawdling, wasting Miss’s time!

Seeing that it was Liu Mengting who had spoken, Ma Gangqiang dared not act rashly since the Liu family was no ordinary family, and they couldn’t be offended lightly.

"Liu Xiaohua, is this any of your business? Or are you going to keep protecting Tang Ming?"

Ma Gangqiang spoke up.

Liu Mengting glanced at Ma Gangqiang in surprise, but ignored him and directly said to Tang Ming, "Hey, are you done or not? If you don’t get on, I’m leaving, and you can walk back to the villa yourself!"

"All this fuss, aren’t you just protecting him? What is Tang Ming to you?"

Ma Gangqiang’s eyes shifted, he sneered, thinking that Liu Mengting was indirectly protecting Tang Ming!

Liu Mengting’s face turned red, and then she felt somewhat ashamed and angry! In front of so many people, if someone misunderstood that she and Tang Ming had something, wouldn’t she be mortified?

"Ma Gangqiang, you better stop spouting nonsense. You lost today and refused to admit defeat, behaving shamelessly, and you think I’m afraid you’ll hurt Tang Ming? I’m afraid he’ll beat you up so badly that I’ll have to compensate your medical bills!"

Liu Mengting didn’t want to argue with Ma Gangqiang, but he kept pushing his limits and even falsely accused her of having a relationship with Tang Ming, which made her angry!

"Beat me up? Go ahead."

Ma Gangqiang laughed as if he heard a joke and pointed at Tang Ming, saying, "Tang Ming, do you dare to take me on one-on-one? If you are a man, step up and let me see why Liu Xiaohua has so much faith in you!"

Tang Ming shrugged and asked Liu Mengting:

"Oh, can I beat him up then? Will you cover the costs if I damage him?"

"You can, it’d be better if he ends up in the hospital!"

Liu Mengting nodded.

Tang Ming took a step forward, and facing Ma Gangqiang, he said:

"Come on, you make the first move to see how skilled you are. Don’t blame me if you don’t get a chance after I make my move."

"Fuck."

Ma Gangqiang lunged forward in a flash, his whole demeanor like a gust of wind, causing the cheeks of the onlookers to sting.

He aimed a direct punch at Tang Ming’s face, only to suddenly find that his usually reliable rapid charge punch had missed! Just as his fist was about to connect, Tang Ming’s head dodged aside, and then a sharp pain hit his abdomen.

It turned out that Tang Ming had countered with a kick, striking his abdomen and then knocking him to the ground with one kick.

"Damn, this kid is a Martial Artist!"

From the trial move, Ma Gangqiang concluded that only a Martial Artist could dodge his punch so quickly and manage to strike back; no ordinary person could have such a fast reaction time.

He had underestimated his opponent! Ma Gangqiang was also a Martial Artist, and even a Two-star Martial Energy Martial Artist! But judging by Tang Ming’s ability, he wouldn’t be much weaker!

"Damn, I’m going to fucking kill you."

Ma Gangqiang, clutching his abdomen, got up, his hand reaching into his pocket, and he gripped a baton tightly.

Then, without any hesitation, he charged forward with the baton.

As the saying goes, an inch longer is an inch stronger. Ma Gangqiang was furious by now, desperate to knock Tang Ming down, and his moves were vicious.

The students watching all tensed up, knowing Ma Gangqiang’s reputation. He was one of the school bullies with the strongest single combat ability, feared by the students.

Not one student who provoked him ended up without being beaten bloody and sent to the hospital with his bare hands, and now he had a weapon in hand, it could only be imagined that Tang Ming would probably be beaten half to death.

Some students couldn’t bear to watch, fearing the bloody scene that would unfold.

Smack!

Just as Ma Gangqiang’s baton swung down from above towards Tang Ming’s face, a hand suddenly stretched out from below, tightly grasping one end of the baton, immovable.
