My Pretty Campus Queen-Chapter 747 - 745: A Simple Match
Zhang Xiaochao’s words were loud, causing everyone around to look over, making Chen Tianlong feel very embarrassed.
"You....."
Chen Tianlong was suddenly at a loss for words. In his impression, Zhang Yufei was a very commanding police officer. Although she was the same age as him, she had a more childlike side. To be honest, Chen Tianlong liked her a lot, but it wasn’t love, just pure liking.
"What? Are you still not admitting it? If you don’t like my sister, tell her quickly, otherwise, she’ll keep saying you’re handsome and amazing. It makes me, her brother, feel quite unaccomplished."
At this point, Zhang Xiaochao felt a bit sad.
"Oh, so you’re Yufei’s brother, huh? My apologies, my apologies. Is she doing well?" Chen Tianlong said with a bitter smile.
Upon hearing Zhang Yufei’s brother, the annoyance in his stomach immediately vanished.
"She’s fine, except she brings you up every day but is too shy to see you. It’s so annoying." Saying this, Zhang Xiaochao suddenly remembered something and abruptly said, "You, stop changing the subject, I’m here to challenge you, are you ready?"
"....." Chen Tianlong was sweating profusely. This person’s mood swings were so drastic. Just a moment ago, they were talking amicably, now they were about to fight. It left Chen Tianlong speechless.
"Xiaochao, the school leaders are still setting up the venue over there; it’s not really appropriate for us to fight here." Chen Tianlong said with a bitter smile.
"Oh, I don’t care. At worst, I won’t participate in the competition, but I must seek justice; otherwise, she’ll keep saying you’re better than me. As long as you can withstand my three moves, I’ll admit defeat."
Zhang Xiaochao continued arrogantly, because he had heard from Zhang Yufei that Chen Tianlong was only a Yellow Dao three or four star at the time, while he had been a Yellow Dao four star for a while, so Chen Tianlong couldn’t possibly touch a hair of his.
"Is that so..."
Chen Tianlong thought for a moment and decided that if he didn’t agree, Zhang Xiaochao would definitely never end this. So he said, "Alright, then let’s go to a quieter place outside and spar a bit, but let’s keep it amicable and not hurt the friendship."
"Oh, okay." Zhang Xiaochao didn’t intend to hurt Chen Tianlong, just wanted to regain his place in Zhang Yufei’s heart.
After hearing Zhang Xiaochao’s words, Chen Tianlong breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, if Zhang Xiaochao kept talking out of line, Chen Tianlong really wouldn’t know how to handle it, given that he was Zhang Yufei’s brother.
On the sidelines, Yang Xinru and Zhao Lei were also speechless, but since Chen Tianlong was not angry, they certainly wouldn’t say anything, just following Chen Tianlong outside.
Soon, the three arrived on the sports field, where there were fewer people. Except for one or two classes taking gym, it was basically empty.
Standing on the track, Chen Tianlong stood calmly in front of Zhang Xiaochao and then smiled and said, "Zhang Xiaochao, you go first?"
"Oh? Are you sure? Once I move, you’ll lose. We agreed if I can’t take you down within three moves, I’ll admit defeat." Zhang Xiaochao was afraid Chen Tianlong would go back on his word, so he emphasized it again.
"..." Chen Tianlong was speechless; with several people here listening, how could he renege? But he still forced a smile and said, "Got it, come on."
Zhang Xiaochao noticed that Chen Tianlong didn’t seem very afraid of him, which puzzled him. But to prove he was better than Chen Tianlong, he couldn’t care less and directly said, "Alright, no more words, let’s start!"
"Hmm, alright."
After Chen Tianlong responded nonchalantly, he began to prepare. Although his strength had greatly increased, Zhang Xiaochao wasn’t an easy opponent. He was a physically strong and fit person and regularly exercised. He was also a master at a Yellow Dao four star level.
Zhang Xiaochao began to strike, and at that moment Chen Tianlong became highly alert. It was his first time facing this new opponent, so he was unsure of Zhang Xiaochao’s moves or if he had any hidden tricks.
Yang Xinru and Zhao Lei began to sweat for Chen Tianlong too. Although they had seen Chen Tianlong’s strength before, he had only been a Yellow Dao four star, which seemed about the same as Zhang Xiaochao.
"Ho..."
With a shout, Zhang Xiaochao’s fist was fierce like a wolf or tiger, yet Chen Tianlong could feel a chill — what was this about?
Before Chen Tianlong could react, the fist was close to his body, startling him. However, he finally responded, quickly jumping back to avoid it.
However, Chen Tianlong’s eyes widened; if he hadn’t dodged that move, it would have cost him his life.
Zhang Xiaochao might be using his family’s ultimate skill, as the punch carried a chill, imbuing the fist with significant attack bonuses, making it appear to surpass a Yellow Dao four star level considerably.
Chen Tianlong stood at a distance with lingering fears; he had dodged the first move, but there were still two more, and he knew they would get more intense. In such critical moments, he couldn’t afford to get injured; if he did, wouldn’t that make those foreigners secretly laugh?
"Stop! Xiaochao, I admit defeat. That first move was extremely swift. We have a competition tomorrow. If we expend too much strength and Powerful Qi, wouldn’t that benefit those foreigners?" Chen Tianlong said nonchalantly.
"No, you can’t admit defeat. I need to earn a real victory over you. Don’t let me win; otherwise, it doesn’t count." Obviously, Zhang Xiaochao was stubborn, insisting Chen Tianlong must lose genuinely.
Chen Tianlong said that because he didn’t want everyone to expend their strength and Powerful Qi, actually thinking of Zhang Xiaochao while caring less for himself.
In one night, he could fully recover.
But it was different for Zhang Xiaochao; even if his strength recovered overnight, Powerful Qi doesn’t recover as easily and requires cultivation.
Thus, Zhang Xiaochao wasn’t in the same position. He had upgraded with Qi Gathering Pills, taking two of them.
According to that calculation, his absorption of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was halved, basically near zero. So, besides slowly restoring naturally, the Qi from cultivation was minimal, taking at least three or four days to recover, meaning he’d be easily defeated in the competition by then.
"Alright, let’s settle this with one move! Do you dare?" Chen Tianlong redefined the way to battle to save Zhang Xiaochao’s Qi, "If you strike here and I can catch it directly, then you lose. Do you dare?"
"Hmph, what’s there to be afraid of? If you can catch it or even stay standing, I’ll consider myself defeated." Zhang Xiaochao pouted and said.
"Good, it’s a deal."
Chen Tianlong finally breathed a sigh of relief. This should end it.
"Get ready, don’t say I didn’t warn you." Zhang Xiaochao reminded him once more.
"....." Chen Tianlong was a bit speechless, but nodded and prepared to receive the move.
"I’ve been ready for a long time, hurry up! We have class soon."
Chen Tianlong was getting a bit impatient. If not for Yufei, he wouldn’t bother with Zhang Xiaochao. If it were someone else, he might have beaten them beyond recognition by now.
Zhang Xiaochao, hearing Chen Tianlong’s words, was speechless; it felt like he was being ignored. He puffed his chest, took a deep breath, stepped back, crouched, and charged forward, swinging his fist straight at Chen Tianlong’s face.
