Chapter 111: The Predicament of the Martial Arts Club 0109
A black sedan arrived at the airport, quickly picked up Mu Wanqing, and disappeared from view.
"No one discovered your identity, right?" the man in the driver’s seat said.
"Don’t worry, no one recognized me," Mu Wanqing replied.
"That’s good. When I heard the news about hijackers on the plane, I was almost scared to death. If something had happened to you, so many people across the country would be heartbroken," the man sighed.
However, Mu Wanqing just smiled, her mind constantly replaying the moment the man on the plane stepped in to save her.
...
The sports field of Zhongshan University was abuzz with voices, as the Martial Arts Club, being the final act of the club exchange, ignited everyone’s emotions.
This was the last day of the club exchange and it also determined the rankings between the three main universities.
Another reason was people’s curiosity about the pure physical showdown and just how powerful martial arts could be. Many students were quite curious and expectant.
Moreover, this club exchange had been widely promoted, with marketing starting in all major schools a month ahead. In addition to students and teachers from the three main universities, there were also those from other universities in attendance, albeit in smaller numbers; but those who did show up were the elites.
As a club that had risen to prominence in Zhongshan city in recent years, the Martial Arts Club drew considerable attention, especially today as the last to perform, sealing the fate of the rankings, and shouldering a heavier burden.
As the president of the Martial Arts Club, Lan Bing was solely responsible for carrying the banner, leading the members to the center of the field and exchanging salutes with members of the other two universities’ Martial Arts Clubs.
Among the three clubs, Lan Bing, as the only female president, was quite noticeable and attracted a lot of attention.
She was dressed in a blue tracksuit and had her hair tied in a ponytail, appearing youthful, cute, and yet valiant.
The president of Hanhai University’s Martial Arts Club was a tall, thin man, squinting his eyes and staring at the attractive Lan Bing with an unfriendly gaze.
"Humph, an arrogant woman who doesn’t know her place, thinking she can compete with me for the first place. The top spot is Hanhai University’s for sure, and the third belongs to your Zhongshan University."
Lan Bing looked at the president of Hanhai University’s Martial Arts Club and knew in her heart that he, like her, was not willing to give up the fight for first place. Today there would be a tough battle.
At the moment, with an overall score far surpassing the other two universities, Jingdu University’s Martial Arts Club president, Cui Zisong, watched calmly as Lan Bing and Hanhai University’s Li Yonghao faced each other.
"The old saying goes, ’When the snipe and the clam grapple, it is the fisherman who profits.’ You two go ahead and fight. I am keen to see what kind of trump cards you hold. Although this competition does not affect Jingdu University’s rankings significantly, as the representative of Jingdu University’s Martial Arts Club, I cannot afford to lose face here," he said.
Lan Bing returned to the resting area for the club members and recounted the current situation. Overall, from the looks of it, the predicament was very severe. Not only was Hanhai University determined to fight them to the end, but Jingdu University would not give up easily, surely forcing their way into the fray.
Furthermore, as the participants in the competition, there were not many outstanding members on Zhongshan University’s side. Apart from Lan Bing herself, there were only Liu Hu and Chen Ming who were considered strong. Recently, Liu Hu’s form had been particularly poor, so Lan Bing had placed him as the third main force, only hoping that Chen Ming would stay in his best condition and take down more opponents.
"Chen Ming, you go on first, followed by Liu Hu, and I’ll be the last," Lan Bing said.
"All right, President," Chen Ming responded without any objections to Lan Bing’s plan, eager to confront the arrogance of the two rival Martial Arts Clubs.
"Chen Ming, go for it!"
"Take down those arrogant guys."
"Be careful, these guys are likely very sneaky."
The surrounding club members were very concerned about Chen Ming being the first to go on. Meanwhile, Liu Hu sat at the back, looking isolated and unwilling to speak to anyone.
Lan Bing walked over and whispered a few words to Liu Hu. His enthusiasm was not high, and it was clear he had been quite affected by a recent setback. However, determined to regain his honor, he looked at the Martial Arts Clubs of the other two universities with a fighting spirit in his eyes.
"If you don’t stay calm, even if you go on stage, you will lose," Lan Bing reminded him.
"They are bullying us too much. Should we just let them be arrogant? This is Zhongshan University. They come here and bully our people. Even if I, Liu Hu, am cowardly, I won’t stand for this. I may not be able to beat them, but I still want to go on stage," Liu Hu said firmly.
"Liu Hu, leave that man to me. I’ll teach him a lesson for you. Just stay calm, and I believe that, aside from that guy, no one else is necessarily your match. As long as you and Chen Ming can maintain your current strength, winning first place is not impossible," Lan Bing said confidently.
Liu Hu glanced at Lan Bing. Not far away, contestants from two major martial arts clubs were warming up before going on stage. Lan Bing’s gaze swept over them as well. Liu Hu spoke calmly, "If Ye Qiu were here, would you still need me to go on stage?"
Lan Bing was taken aback and fell silent. If Ye Qiu hadn’t suddenly disappeared, would she have had to worry so much about success or failure?
Liu Hu chuckled, seemingly understanding Lan Bing’s thoughts.
As the two fell into a prolonged silence, the drumming for the exchange meeting began, and Chen Ming stepped up to the ring.
Chen Ming’s opponent was a sophomore from Hanhai University, who was two heads taller than him and possessed an impressive aura.
Their fight instantly became the focal point of everyone present, with countless eyes fixed on the central ring.
Their battle wasn’t particularly fierce, as Chen Ming, who was at a height disadvantage, focused mainly on defense.
Lan Bing knew that Chen Ming wanted to wait for his opponent to exhaust his strength before making an attack, but as time went on, Chen Ming occasionally got punched, and his speed slowed significantly; his injuries also began to accumulate.
Just when Lan Bing thought about asking Chen Ming to pause the fight, the tall opponent suddenly intensified his attacks, grabbing Chen Ming violently and flinging him towards the ring, leaving him in disarray.
Lan Bing’s heart skipped a beat, realizing something bad had happened!
Chen Ming, who was favored, was defeated in his first match. That tall fellow was definitely hiding his strength and only exploded at the end.
Lan Bing cast a deep look at another figure standing beneath the ring, the president of Hanhai University’s martial arts club, Li Yonghao.
Li Yonghao revealed a sly smile, and Lan Bing realized that the opponent must have learned of her planned order of combat, otherwise Chen Ming wouldn’t have been defeated so quickly.
As a result, the available fighters from Zhongshan University would be worn out sooner.
What about Liu Hu?
It was Liu Hu’s turn to fight next!
Lan Bing glanced at Liu Hu’s spot, but it was empty!
Even the other martial arts club members looked at each other in confusion—Liu Hu was nowhere to be seen, yet he was scheduled to fight next.
Just as the referee was about to call for Liu Hu to enter the ring after a long wait, a blue figure leaped onto the ring!
This was a person with a determined face and a steely gaze. It was hard to imagine such a beautiful face could show such fierceness.
Below the ring, the members of Zhongshan University’s martial arts club watched their club president Lan Bing go on stage early. Instead of feeling excited, they all showed concern.
Because now Lan Bing would have to face the challengers from the other two major universities all by herself!
And at that moment, except for Lan Bing, there was no one else from their martial arts club fit to compete. Other than sighing, they could only watch helplessly as President Lan Bing faced all the difficulties alone.
