Chapter 11

Listen! Capture the Dragon!

Qin Peng accurately and without error grasped Du Chen's wrist pulse point, and at the moment he pressed down, a terrifying force burst from his fingertips, stimulating the two major tendons in Du Chen's wrist. This was enough to completely strip Du Chen of all strength in his hands.

No matter how great the disparity in strength, once the pulse point was seized and the major tendons stimulated, even the strongest would be controlled.

Du Chen's hands suddenly lost their ability to move, and he was momentarily stunned. Qin Peng, however, suddenly laughed and exerted force with his hands. Du Chen immediately felt a wave of pain in his hands, as if his major tendons had been dislocated, causing his arms to ache and lose all ability to move.

How is this possible?

Du Chen looked at the scene before him in disbelief. Qin Peng's hands moved swiftly, continuously striking Du Chen's body. Each time Qin Peng's hands landed on Du Chen, Du Chen did not feel particularly painful, but every part of his body began to numb.

He felt his muscles seemed to be twisted and entangled, causing pain and making him no longer as agile as before. Even the slightest movement brought intense pain.

That must be the Dragon Lock technique, and the previous one was the Dragon Capture technique, right?

Su Shiyue looked at Qin Peng in a daze. Since the founding of the Talent Academy, fewer than a hundred people had learned the four Dragon Combat techniques. Could this Qin Peng really have learned them?

Genius, absolutely a genius!

Du Chen already sensed something was wrong. At this moment, he wanted to retreat, but as soon as he tried to step back, he felt a terrifying force pulling him, preventing him from retreating. He was completely entangled, unable to take even a half-step back.

Dragon Trap!

Dragon Capture, Dragon Lock, Dragon Trap—Qin Peng executed these three techniques as if they had been honed through countless repetitions, as if he had practiced them for years. Every subtle change was clear to him, and on this foundation, Qin Peng added his own movements. If Su Shiyue hadn't learned them herself, she would almost doubt whether these were the real four Dragon Combat techniques.

In fact, this was Qin Peng's first time executing them. Although it was his first time, he naturally performed them, feeling as if he had used them countless times before, executing them with ease.

Bang!

A punch to the chest, and Du Chen immediately felt a sharp pain in his lungs, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Qin Peng tilted his head, deftly avoiding the blood.

Bang! Bang!

Du Chen suddenly felt a sharp pain in his legs. When he came to, he found his legs squeezed together unnaturally, forming a triangle with his knees, swaying precariously, as if he might fall at any moment.

He couldn't move!

Du Chen was terrified to discover that any slight movement caused intense pain, and his blood seemed to have stopped flowing, while his heart beat more intensely, as if it might jump out of his mouth.

Worse still, his brain seemed to be deprived of blood.

At this moment, Qin Peng had completely locked Du Chen's blood and qi flow, twisting his tendons, leaving him unable to move. If no one released him from this state, he would die from brain death due to lack of oxygen.

Du Chen looked at Qin Peng, feeling fear for the first time. When did Qin Peng become so terrifying?

The blood flow to his brain was decreasing, and Du Chen's Adam's apple moved slightly. Qin Peng slowly raised his right hand, and a terrifying force instantly gathered in his palm.

The first three of the four Dragon Combat techniques—Dragon Capture, Dragon Trap, Dragon Lock—are not offensive techniques but are used for close combat. The last technique, Dragon Slay, is the truly offensive move.

Du Chen's body struggled, but he had lost all ability to move.

Qin Peng suddenly moved.

Dragon Slay!

With this movement, Qin Peng's strength instantly reached its peak. His fist rubbed against the air, producing a whistling sound like a dragon's roar. However, this roar did not convey a sense of majesty but rather a sense of panic, as if it were the cry of a dragon about to die.

Whoosh!

Just as Qin Peng's fist was about to reach Du Chen, a black shadow suddenly appeared before him. Qin Peng's pupils contracted sharply, and a hand grabbed his wrist.

The terrifying force seemed to want to crush his wrist.

Gu Li!

Qin Peng's wrist trembled violently, causing Gu Li's fingers to tremble slightly and subconsciously loosen their grip on his wrist. Qin Peng took the opportunity to pull his hand back.

Gu Li was stunned. She had intended to secretly disable Qin Peng's right hand, but she didn't expect his reaction to be so quick.

"Teacher Gu, this seems to be a duel between us. As a teacher, you shouldn't interfere in our duel!" Qin Peng looked at Gu Li coldly.

Gu Li still looked at Qin Peng with disdain and said coldly, "Qin Peng, is this how you speak to a teacher? You are indeed in a duel, but Du Chen is your classmate. You were about to kill Du Chen, so I naturally had to intervene!"

Hearing this blatant lie, Qin Peng didn't know what to say.

When Du Chen threatened to beat him to death, why didn't you speak up?

Gu Li looked at Qin Peng with disgust. At this moment, she noticed a foul smell emanating from him, making her disgust even more intense. Her hand, which had grabbed Qin Peng's wrist, felt as if it had touched something dirty.

Turning around, Gu Li lightly patted Du Chen's body, and Du Chen's entire body relaxed, collapsing to the ground.

Qin Peng only glanced at Gu Li. Using the four Dragon Combat techniques for the first time, Qin Peng was still somewhat unfamiliar with them. If given time to familiarize himself, it would be impossible for Gu Li to release Du Chen's blood and tendons, and any forced release would cause significant harm to Du Chen's body.

Looking at the collapsed Du Chen, Qin Peng said coldly, "Du Chen, is our bet now effective?"

Du Chen's pupils contracted slightly, as if he remembered something. Qin Peng smiled and said, "Kneel and apologize!"

"Qin Peng, what are you saying?" Gu Li glared at Qin Peng and said coldly, "You are classmates. How can you make such a demand?"

Qin Peng looked at Gu Li and said coldly, "Teacher Gu Li, please understand. This is a school rule and a previous bet. You have no right to violate school rules!"

"Qin Peng?" Gu Li's voice turned cold, "I don't think you won. I think you lost, and you should kneel and apologize to Du Chen!"

Qin Peng's eyes turned cold, "Gu Li, what do you mean?"

Gu Li stared at Qin Peng and said coldly, "What do I mean? You clearly couldn't match Du Chen, but you used despicable means to secretly attack him, attempting to kill him. I will have to discuss this with the school!"

Hearing this blatant distortion of facts, Qin Peng couldn't help but laugh.

"Gu Li, to say that a person becomes invincible when they are despicable, I now understand. Your ability to lie with your eyes open is truly impressive!"

Gu Li sneered and said mockingly, "What, Qin Peng, are you不服 (unconvinced)? Now, ask the whole class if the facts are as I said!"

"Teacher Gu Li is right, Qin Peng. I never thought you would be so despicable. Du Chen clearly let you go, but you still shamelessly attacked him!"

The first to speak was Wang Shishi.

"That's right, Qin Peng. You clearly lost, but now you are trying to deny it. Kneel down!"

"Kneel down, kneel down!"

The entire class shouted, and Du Chen looked at Qin Peng with smug satisfaction, "Even if you win, what does it matter? You still have to kneel to me!"

"I can testify that Qin Peng defeated Du Chen!" A small voice echoed in the crowd.

Qin Peng's gaze fell on the owner of the voice, who was Guo Hao.

At this moment, Qin Peng suddenly felt a warmth in his heart. In this absolutely unfavorable situation, Guo Hao standing by his side gave him a sense of comfort.

"Guo Hao, are you sure you saw clearly?" Gu Li's gaze suddenly fell on Guo Hao.

Guo Hao felt his scalp tingle but still said firmly, "Yes, I saw clearly. Qin Peng defeated Du Chen!"

Gu Li's gaze immediately turned fierce, and she said coldly, "Good, I understand. Is there anyone else who saw clearly? If there is a second person who confirms that Qin Peng defeated Du Chen, I will consider Qin Peng the winner!"

Silence, no one else spoke.

"I can testify. I watched the entire fight, and Qin Peng defeated Du Chen!"

At this moment, a calm voice clearly echoed in everyone's ears, and everyone was stunned. Then, they saw a beautiful figure walking toward the duel arena.

Everyone's breathing slowed involuntarily.

Everyone looked at the woman before them in disbelief.

Su Shiyue!
