Zhan Yi, of course, had no idea that his performance in the morning had not only caught Mai's attention but also led to a prank by the little girl. After more than a minute of staring, he suddenly heard Lu Hu's voice in his ear: "Boss, stop looking. With your current body hardness and strength, if you quickly charge forward, you can definitely knock the opponent down with one hit."
Zhan Yi was taken aback, then turned his head to look at Lu Hu, who was a short distance away. He noticed that the other party's lips were slightly moving, and he was smiling at him. Then he heard Lu Hu's voice again: "Don't look at me, boss. I'm using a secret language technique, so others can't hear. Hurry up and make your move. Be careful, the opponent is attacking you."
Zhan Yi was pondering when to learn the secret language technique when he suddenly heard Lu Hu say that the opponent was attacking. Instinctively, he turned his head to look at the opponent and saw a fist growing larger and larger, rushing towards his face.
He really wanted to dodge and tried his best to do so, but due to his extreme nervousness, he didn't have time to use the force method Lu Hu had taught him. As a result, although he avoided the face, the opponent's fist still hit his shoulder.
"Ahh..." A scream of pain echoed as Zhan Yi was hit and flew up, then landed with a thud on the stage. The intense pain in his shoulder made him want to kick the man who was grinning at him. This guy was too despicable, sneaking an attack when he wasn't prepared. It was unforgivable.
Mai, who was sitting by the monitor, was also extremely nervous. At the moment Zhan Yi was hit and flew, she couldn't help but scream and even grabbed the hand of a nearby maid. Seeing Zhan Yi's pained expression, she whispered, "Get up, come on, get up..."
Zhan Yi didn't disappoint Mai. He gritted his teeth and stood up, then looked at the smug man and said, "You damn sneak attack me, you're so despicable."
The man, seeing Zhan Yi's pained expression, laughed even more smugly: "Haha, I did sneak attack you, so what?"
"Alright, today I'll let you know the consequences of angering me. I'm sorry to the audience, but today I have to start killing." Zhan Yi became increasingly angry and clenched his fists tightly.
The man, seeing Zhan Yi's furious expression, said disdainfully, "Kid, stop boasting. I want to see how you can start killing after being beaten like this, haha."
But before he could finish speaking, he saw a flash, and Zhan Yi was already in front of him, hitting him with a shoulder: "Ahh..."
A scream of pain echoed as the man was hit and flew out, landing with a thud on the ground. He looked at Zhan Yi in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost: "You... you're not human."
"Ouch, it hurts so much." Zhan Yi was also in pain. In his haste, he had used the shoulder that was already injured. Although he knocked the man out, his injury became worse, and he clutched his shoulder, grimacing in pain.
Everyone around was stunned. Zhan Yi's speed had far exceeded their imagination, even Lu Hu was greatly surprised. He hadn't expected Zhan Yi to be able to burst out with such speed after just learning how to use force, it was like a bullet.
As for Mai, who was sitting backstage, her mood was also very complex. From the moment Zhan Yi started his attack, her eyes were wide open, excitedly staring at the monitor. When Zhan Yi hit the opponent and the opponent screamed, she burst out laughing, muttering, "Big idiot, using your injured shoulder to hit others."
After a while of gently rubbing his shoulder, Zhan Yi felt a bit better. However, he wasn't ready to let the man on the ground off the hook. He raised his fist and came to the man's face, saying fiercely, "Despicable person, have you ever seen a fist as big as a sandbag? Are you afraid? You even dared to sneak attack me just now, now apologize immediately."
"Y-Yes, I'm sorry, big brother." The man, seeing the fist in front of him, said meekly.
At this point, he had no intention of continuing the fight. Zhan Yi's speed made him realize that even if he practiced for ten more years, he would never be his match. So the best thing to do now was to admit defeat.
"Hmph, I'll let you off today, but I'm telling you, in the future, you must be honest and upright, understand? Don't play those despicable tricks again, or if I find out, I'll beat you up. Get up and go."
"Big... big brother, my leg is injured, I can't go." The man also wanted to run, but after struggling a bit, he couldn't stand up. Seeing Zhan Yi about to get angry, he had to tell the truth.
"What, your leg is injured? That's what you get for not being honest. You're a grown man, doing such despicable things, who do you think you're hurting? The society? The... society?"
Zhan Yi looked at the man for a moment and saw that he wasn't faking it. He bent down to help him up, but he was still very reluctant. As he helped the man to the edge of the stage, he kept lecturing him.
Everyone around was stunned, even the people who were competing stopped and stared at Zhan Yi and the man. Even after they sat down at the edge of the stage, Zhan Yi kept lecturing the man, who, like a child who had done something wrong, lowered his head, tears streaming down his face, and kept nodding.
"Sir, can you still participate in the next competition with your injury?" Just as Zhan Yi was getting into the lecture, the referee who had been judging the match came over and politely asked.
"Uh... I'm completely fine, you can arrange it. I need to give this guy a good lesson." Zhan Yi said casually, then turned his head to look at the man again, as if he still had more to say.
"Ah... Big brother, I was wrong, I really was wrong. If you're still angry, just kill me, don't torture me anymore, okay?"
"Hey, don't be like that. As long as you know you were wrong, that's fine. I won't say anything more." Zhan Yi didn't expect such a strong reaction from the man. Seeing everyone looking at him, he blushed and quickly walked off the stage.
At this moment, Mai and her two maids in the backstage were laughing so hard their stomachs hurt. They didn't expect Zhan Yi to do something so funny, helping the opponent and making him cry.
"Miss, he's so funny. If he becomes your husband in the future, I think we won't have to worry every day." After laughing for a while, one of the maids said to Mai.
"Xiao Lan, don't talk nonsense. Who said he's going to be my husband?" Mai blushed and lightly scolded the maid, but her heart was pounding.
Meanwhile, Zhan Yi had already reached the bottom of the stage. Lu Hu and Dong Dabao quickly came over, holding his hand and asking, "Boss, are you okay? How bad is your injury?"
"Yeah, boss, you don't know how cool you looked just now. What move was that?"
"I'm fine, just a bit of shoulder pain. Ah Hu, do you have any way to help me recover faster?" Zhan Yi, seeing their worried faces, felt a surge of emotion and shook his head.
"Boss, you don't even know the basic cultivation healing method? That's too ignorant." Lu Hu was taken aback and couldn't help but say in surprise.
"Ah Hu, I feel like I can't kill you to relieve my anger. If I knew, would I ask you?" Zhan Yi's moment of emotion was instantly gone, and he said through gritted teeth.
"Uh... Boss, I didn't mean to belittle you. Don't misunderstand. I'll tell you how to heal right now..." Lu Hu's face turned awkward, realizing he had been too direct, and quickly explained the healing method to Zhan Yi.
After Lu Hu's explanation, Zhan Yi finally understood. The cultivation healing method was similar to the force method, but instead of generating an attack, it used the mind to gather energy to the injured area to repair damaged cells, achieving a quick recovery.
Understanding this, Zhan Yi quickly tried it out. Soon, he felt a cool sensation in the injured area. After about ten minutes, his injured shoulder felt as good as new. He pulled up his shirt to check and saw no marks, and couldn't help but exclaim happily, "Haha, I'm finally awesome."
"Boss, calm down. Many people are looking at you. Besides, I don't think healing your shoulder has anything to do with being awesome." Just as Zhan Yi was getting carried away, Dong Dabao pulled his arm and said.
"Ha ha, I lost my composure." Zhan Yi turned to look at the people around him, who were giving him disapproving looks. He swallowed the words he was about to say to scold Dong Dabao, blushed, and awkwardly smiled at the people around him, then sat down on a chair.
But just as he sat down, a man in his thirties came up to him, bowed slightly, and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Zhan, our young master would like to invite you over."
Zhan Yi looked at the man, puzzled, "Sir, do we know each other? Who is your young master?"
"Ha ha, Mr. Zhan, you'll know when you get there. I guarantee it will only benefit you, not harm you." The man smiled calmly and said enticingly.
"Benefit? Do you think I'm the kind of person who seeks benefits? Lead the way." Zhan Yi, hearing about the benefit, became interested. Could it be that some rich boss had seen his skills and wanted to hire him as a spokesperson?
"Boss, I want to go too." Dong Dabao, who had heard the conversation, quickly followed.
And Lu Hu, not wanting to be left behind, said as he walked, "Boss, I'll protect your safety."
