Chapter 4

When it was announced that Pei Xi was going to fight Lin Yuan, a circle of students gathered around the venue, whispering to each other:

"Does Pei Xi have a grudge against Lin Yuan? I remember they didn't have much interaction, right?"

"Pei Xi is standing up for Jiang Yining."

"Standing up? More like showing off..."

"Probably because he was scolded by Old Yang this morning and is looking for an outlet for his anger."

...

"Do you want to fight me?"

Lin Yuan suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Pei Xi, who had a smile on his face.

Pei Xi narrowed his eyes, "What? Afraid?"

The two locked eyes, and the atmosphere in the martial arts hall suddenly became tense.

Lin Yuan chuckled, "Huh."

"Come on."

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh~"

As soon as Lin Yuan agreed to the fight, the surrounding students immediately erupted in cheers.

They all belonged to the category of those who enjoy watching a good show.

Fang Zixin immediately clenched his right fist and shouted encouragement for Lin Yuan:

"Lin Yuan! Beat him up!"

The martial arts hall instantly became noisy, with everyone discussing who would win between Lin Yuan and Pei Xi.

Jiang Yining and Jiang Xiaoyu, who were about to leave the hall, also turned to look at the center of the venue when they heard that Lin Yuan was going to spar with Pei Xi.

A third-level martial artist represents the Body Tempering stage, which is theoretically much stronger than a second-level martial artist under the same basic martial arts level.

Jiang Yining's loss to Lin Yuan was largely due to the physical strength disadvantage of female martial artists.

If she had enough strength in that kick, the outcome might have been different.

It was hard to predict the outcome of this match, as no one had seen Pei Xi use basic martial arts in a fight before.

"Hey, Wu Di."

"Is he a match?"

Fang Zixin shouted wildly, but in reality, he was unsure.

After all, Pei Xi was a genuine third-level martial artist with exceptional talent.

However, when he looked at Wu Di, Wu Di was grinning from ear to ear:

"Him?"

"Two of him wouldn't be a match for Lin Yuan."

Wu Di couldn't help but laugh at the thought of Pei Xi's impending humiliation.

"What do you mean?"

Wu Di whispered something to the surrounding group of friends, and their eyes widened as they looked at the calm and composed Lin Yuan in the ring.

"Wow!"

"Iron bag on his waist?!"

"Really?"

...

Lin Yuan stretched his muscles and maintained a distance from Pei Xi.

In terms of basic martial arts, to put it bluntly, no one in the entire Green Mountain High School, or even the entire Green Mountain, could match Lin Yuan.

Martial artists like Wu Di, Pei Xi, and Jiang Yining had to cultivate both basic martial arts and spiritual energy and techniques.

Lin Yuan was different; no martial artist could spend as much time on basic martial arts as he did.

Since Pei Xi wanted to use him as a target, he had chosen the wrong person.

"Let's begin."

Pei Xi, with a smile, confirmed that Jiang Yining hadn't left yet.

He then focused all his attention on Lin Yuan, not daring to be the slightest bit careless.

Lin Yuan, the oddball, might not excel in other areas, but his basic martial arts were top-notch. His easy victory over Jiang Yining was proof enough.

Moreover, this match was crucial for him.

If he lost, he would likely become a laughingstock.

"Ha—"

Pei Xi let out a loud cry and his speed increased dramatically.

Rapidly closing the distance with Lin Yuan, he swung his arms, and his fingers, like hooks, shot out at Lin Yuan's right arm at lightning speed!

"Interesting."

Feeling Pei Xi's momentum, Lin Yuan smiled.

Compared to Jiang Yining, Pei Xi was stronger.

In basic martial arts, without the assistance of spiritual energy, pure speed and strength were particularly important.

With the same punching speed, greater strength meant greater impact.

Unfortunately, Lin Yuan was faster than Pei Xi. After swiftly dodging, his body moved with fluid grace.

His right leg kicked out with the speed of a tornado, aiming for Pei Xi's side!

Seeing this, Jiang Yining's eyes flickered.

"Terrifying judgment."

This first kick was enough to give Lin Yuan the upper hand, and it was that dramatic.

Sure enough, Pei Xi instinctively tried to twist his body to avoid the kick.

But Lin Yuan was too fast, and the kick still landed on Pei Xi's arm.

"Hmm—"

Pei Xi grunted, but the intense pain didn't make him lose focus; instead, it brought him back to his senses.

He finally realized how terrifying Lin Yuan was in basic martial arts.

In such high-frequency combat, once Lin Yuan took the initiative, it was difficult for his opponent to turn the tide.

From Pei Xi's morning set of basic punches, Lin Yuan had already identified his weakness in the lower body.

Striking at the weak point, Lin Yuan's rapid and continuous kicks forced Pei Xi to retreat and defend.

"Choking!"

The surrounding students held their breath.

They felt as if they were in Pei Xi's position, unable to find a counterattack.

Lin Yuan continuously switched his leg techniques, following a double flying kick with a series of rapid kicks.

Pei Xi was forced to retreat, unable to find a moment to turn the tide.

"Only by countering!"

Pei Xi, as a martial arts family disciple, was not a pushover.

Since he couldn't find an opportunity, he would create one!

He was a third-level martial artist, while Lin Yuan was a second-level martial artist.

In terms of physical strength, he should have the advantage.

Bang bang bang bang—

In the venue, Pei Xi's sudden horizontal kick met Lin Yuan's right leg in mid-air!

"Ah!!"

The next moment, Pei Xi's scream echoed through the martial arts hall.

Many students winced and instinctively clutched their right legs.

The solid kick looked excruciatingly painful.

"Doesn't Lin Yuan feel pain?"

Many younger students looked at Lin Yuan, who continued his movements, as if he were a monster.

The pain from the counter-kick was fleeting for Lin Yuan.

"Whether it's physical pain."

"Or mental pain, I've experienced it countless times."

He could never forget the tears of his parents when he was in the hospital bed.

Reborn from despair, Lin Yuan's willpower was terrifyingly strong.

Swish—

After landing gracefully, Lin Yuan pounced on his prey like a leopard!

...

Jiang Xiaoyu, supporting her chin, watched with great interest, her cute face glowing with excitement.

She then saw her sister, Jiang Yining, get up and leave.

"Huh?"

"Sis, leaving?"

"Not going to watch? It's getting intense!"

"Let's go, it's over."

"Oh..."

Feeling that Pei Xi had been beaten enough, Jiang Xiaoyu skipped over and held her sister's arm.

Little did they know, this scene was caught by Pei Xi, who was looking to the side.

In that instant, the anger that Pei Xi had suppressed all day suddenly erupted.

Seeing Pei Xi's eyes, his friends, who knew him well, immediately stood up and shouted:

"Pei Xi!"

"Don't!"

Pei Xi, who had always been a top student, had never experienced such humiliation.

His eyes turned bloodshot, and his anger completely overwhelmed his reason.

As he clenched his right fist tighter, astonishing spiritual energy began to emanate from it!

"Lin Yuan!"

"Be careful!"

"Be careful!"

Wu Di, Fang Zixin, and the teachers in the martial arts hall saw this and were too late to stop it, shouting in alarm.

Lin Yuan had never fought a third-level martial artist before.

The moment Pei Xi released his spiritual energy, cold sweat broke out on Lin Yuan's forehead!

"Die!"

A surge of spiritual energy from Pei Xi's right fist suddenly shot towards Lin Yuan!
