Chapter 618: Chapter 0618: Opponent Absent

Seeing Tang Ming appear, Li Dun immediately ran over and handed out a leaflet, grinning as he said, "Tang Ming, our brother Wei is hosting a school martial arts tournament tomorrow. You’ve definitely got to come and participate, and even if you don’t participate, make sure to notify Chen Cang to come. Our brother Wei is really looking forward to a direct fight with Chen Cang."

"A school martial arts competition?"

Li Xiaoli immediately snatched the leaflet, which seemed not quite what she expected.

Tang Ming frowned slightly, took another leaflet, and after a few glances, a strange smile crept on his face. It was clear that Hu Wei had put this together just to deal with him and Chen Cang. But was Hu Wei still a match for Chen Cang now?

"Where’s your brother Wei?" Tang Ming asked, looking at Li Dun.

"Our brother Wei is the main attraction; naturally, he wouldn’t show his face for something like promotion."

Li Dun said with a face full of pride.

"That’s true, but Hu Wei really is splurging, with a prize purse of a hundred thousand yuan. He’s quite confident in himself," Tang Ming said with a teasing smile.

"Hey hey, get this straight—bodyguards can’t participate in the school martial arts tournament," Li Dun reminded hastily upon seeing Tang Ming’s mischievous smile.

"Well, Hu Wei is a Half-step Martial Master. If bodyguards can’t participate, who in the school could possibly be his match?"

Tang Ming gave a cold laugh and said sarcastically, "He’s obviously doing this to target my brother Cang. Why make such a big fuss? Wouldn’t it be simpler to just find a place and have a match?"

"Heh, as if we could fathom the thoughts of Brother Wei. Anyway, just make sure you notify Chen Cang to come to the competition."

Li Dun sneered and, without paying further attention to Tang Ming, busied himself with handing out flyers to others.

"This idiot, Chen Cang has already disappeared, and yet he still insists on personally naming Chen Cang to accept the challenge. Is he amusing himself?"

Liu Mengting looked at the leaflet, which specifically named Chen Cang for the challenge, and spoke with disdain.

"If we could understand the actions of an idiot, wouldn’t we become idiots ourselves?"

Li Xiaoli carelessly threw away the leaflet and moved closer to Tang Ming, "Tang Ming, brother, you’ve already recovered. Why don’t you go and teach Hu Wei a lesson, and incidentally earn some pocket money for me and sister Meng Meng."

"I’m not interested. Let Chen Cang deal with that guy."

Tang Ming laughed it off. After all, Chen Cang had finished his intense training and had broken through to become a Martial Master. Moreover, having Xin Badao and Chu Batian as his sparring partners all the time, dealing with a Hu Wei was going to be a piece of cake.

After sending a message to Chen Cang informing him of the situation, Tang Ming didn’t bother much about it anymore, assuming that Chen Cang was also eager to take revenge on Hu Wei. This competition could be a chance for him to regain his reputation. Only...

This time, Tang Ming had predicted wrong, for to the current Chen Cang, there were more important things than dealing with Hu Wei.

The next day during lunch break, a decent-looking arena had already been constructed on the school playground, and instead of hurrying to eat, the students gathered around it, waiting to enjoy the show.

Although Hu Wei called the event a school martial arts tournament, everyone in the school knew Hu Wei was a tough opponent, and no one would foolishly challenge him. This turned the event into a prearranged fight and showdown between Hu Wei and Chen Cang.

Loves a bit of excitement she does, Li Xiaoli dragged Liu Mengting and Tang Ming into the crowd, eager to see just how Hu Wei would make a fool of himself!

Ladies and gentlemen, I am Hu Wei of the Hu Family. Today, I specially set up this arena to challenge all students of Tianjiao Middle School. Whoever defeats me will receive the hundred-thousand yuan prize money set up by my Hu Family," Hu Wei, dressed in martial arts attire, stood on the arena and announced earnestly.

He had thought that once his words dropped, he would be met with applause or cheers, but not a single student moved; they all looked at Hu Wei with the kind of gaze reserved for an idiot.

"You’re a Half-step Martial Master, and we’re all just ordinary people. Unless our brains have taken a swim, who would bother challenging you?"

Seeing that no one responded to him, Hu Wei forced an awkward smile and quickly shouted, "Of course, I know everyone is a student, and there aren’t any experts, but there have been rumors that I was beaten by Chen Cang. So today, I want everyone to witness, I will face Chen Cang in front of all to determine who is the stronger one."

"That sounds more reasonable, hurry up and get Chen Cang out here to fight you."

"Exactly, Chen Cang beat you up so badly before, aren’t you afraid of getting hit again?"

People immediately began jeering loudly around him.

"Damn." Hearing this, Hu Wei couldn’t help but curse under his breath. He knew that the previous incident would affect him, but he hadn’t anticipated it being this severe; everyone still thought he was Chen Cang’s defeated underling.

The more it was like this, the more Hu Wei wanted to beat up Chen Cang in front of everyone, to wash away the previous humiliation.

"Everyone quiet down. Since you all look down on me, Hu Wei, so much, I will change today’s contest into a duel between me and Chen Cang, to see who is the true powerhouse."

Hu Wei waved his hand, calming the crowd, and yelled loudly, "Chen Cang, if you’re brave enough, come up and fight me, and let everyone know that I, Hu Wei, am the strongest in Tianjiao Middle School."

Hu Wei shouted for a long time, but Chen Cang didn’t show up, which made him yell louder and more arrogantly with each call.

"Tang Ming bro, where’s Chen Cang?"

Li Xiaoli immediately nudged Tang Ming and said bitterly, "Hurry up and get Chen Cang over here to take care of this Hu Wei, he’s too arrogant, he needs to be taught a lesson."

"I’ve already sent a message to Chen Cang, he should know about today’s arena event."

Tang Ming took out his phone with a puzzled look and dialed Chen Cang’s number while saying, "I’ll call him again to see what he’s doing?"

"I’m sorry, the number you’ve dialed is out of service due to unpaid charges..."

"Damn it!"

Tang Ming couldn’t help but swear, Chen Cang’s phone was out of service because of unpaid bills, which meant the guy hadn’t gotten his message yesterday at all.

"Chen Cang, damn you... Show yourself if you have the guts... I could beat the crap out of you with just one hand..."

Hu Wei stood on the stage cursing and blustering for more than half an hour, his throat nearly smoking, but Chen Cang still didn’t appear.

"What’s this situation? If it’s a martial arts match, have a martial arts match; why hold an arena competition? Now with Chen Cang not showing up, who are you going to fight?"

"Exactly, martial arts matches should be arranged in advance. What you’re doing now is making us wait for nothing."

"This is so lame, it’s so cold I’m freezing to death, I’m going to get something to eat."

The sports teachers in charge of supervising at the school also left to have lunch after seeing this scene.

Seeing the main participant absent, the group of students felt bored and began leaving one after another.
