Supernatural Insight Eyes-Chapter 113: One Punch Man
Chapter 113: One Punch Man
In the gymnasium, shouts echoed to the rafters as two figures on the stage were locked in a tense and intense period.
The competition was nearing its final stages.
Lan Bing gasped lightly, and Li Yonghao was no better off; Lan Bing’s strength had surpassed his expectations. Even after attempting to wear her down, he couldn’t finish her off quickly. This woman was not easy to deal with.
"Lan Bing, your Zhongshan City martial arts club is destined not to win first place, and even if I step down now, with your current strength, you won’t be a match for Jingdu University," Li Yonghao said.
Lan Bing looked at Li Yonghao without speaking. She knew he was right; this year the likelihood of her martial arts club winning first place was almost nil. The martial arts club of Hanhai University had exhausted their strength, and she no longer had the energy to fight against Jingdu University’s club.
"Let’s go, Zhongshan, let’s go, Zhongshan!"
All the students of Zhongshan University were cheering for Lan Bing, shouting slogans. In an instant, the slogans reverberated throughout the entire gymnasium, and an invisible strength surged up from the bottom of Lan Bing’s heart.
Why should she worry so much about success or failure? Since she had persisted this far, even if she couldn’t win the first place, she had to give it a try!
The fighting spirit in Lan Bing’s eyes erupted once again, and Li Yonghao sensed trouble. Originally, his plan was to first crush Lan Bing’s psychological defenses, making her lose the will to fight. However, the situation before him had greatly deviated from his expectations; not only had Lan Bing not given up, but she had also become even more resolute.
"When I chose to pursue martial arts, I did not do so to easily abandon it. You do not understand the true meaning of martial arts if you think I would give up so easily. I’m afraid you’re going to be disappointed," Lan Bing said with a smile.
At the same time, Lan Bing made her move. Her figure streaked across the stage like a blue light; Li Yonghao only felt a sudden gust of wind before seeing a pair of beautiful eyes filled with fierceness. Without time to think, Li Yonghao threw a punch, hoping to drive Lan Bing away. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Dodging Li Yonghao’s attack with a flash, Lan Bing immediately followed up with a high kick that cut through the air and aimed at Li Yonghao’s neck.
Li Yonghao shuddered, instinctively blocking with his arm. Lan Bing’s kick, carrying an immense force, struck Li Yonghao’s arm and sent him flying with a crashing sound, hitting the stage hard.
The gymnasium first fell into a silence, soundless. Then, suddenly, there was an uproar as the students of Zhongshan University were ignited by Lan Bing’s last strike, and everyone shouted a single name.
Lan Bing stood on the stage, but her mood wasn’t as good as others’. Even if she had overcome Hanhai University, there was still a looming Jingdu University, and by now, she had very little strength left.
Unwilling to yield!
Clenching her fists, Lan Bing looked towards Jingdu University’s martial arts club, and its president Cui Zisong was also smilingly looking back at her.
In the brief exchange of glances, Lan Bing had already guessed some of Cui Zisong’s thoughts.
"Then let’s fight until the last moment!"
Lan Bing’s determined gaze shot towards Jingdu University’s martial arts club, and before long, a member of the club hopped onto the stage.
"The president told me to ask you to step down quickly. Though I don’t like big women, I’m sorry," said the man who had started speaking right away, somewhat bizarrely, trying to get Lan Bing to forfeit voluntarily.
Seeing Lan Bing unmoved, the man made his move. With little strength left, Lan Bing had to conserve it. Any movement she made had to be executed with the aim of winning in one strike.
Lan Bing was cautious, but her opponent was reckless, launching relentless attacks against her.
Lan Bing’s defensive and counter moves were simple but forceful, infuriating her opponent, who was unable to land a hit on her.
Of course, even so, Lan Bing’s strength was slowly being drained.
In the end, Lan Bing emerged victorious. The man was defeated by a punch from her to his ribs and could no longer fight.
Cui Zisong, unable to stand the sight, decided to enter the fray himself and put an end to this pointless persistence.
As Cui Zisong stepped onto the stage, the students of Jingdu University responded with applause and cheers. If Cui Zisong could defeat Lan Bing and win first place for the martial arts club, then Jingdu University would secure another first place beyond the reach of Hanhai and Zhongshan Universities.
There were high expectations for Jingdu University, while on the Zhongshan University side, there was some nervousness. Did Lan Bing, who had already fought for so long, have the strength for another battle to defeat the president of Jingdu University’s martial arts club?
The hearts of many were suspended with anticipation; they didn’t want to see Lan Bing, such a beautiful club president, being defeated off the stage.
Cui Zisong was the person Lan Bing was most wary of because she could see in him a resemblance to herself, or more precisely, the aura of a fellow martial artist.
Like Lan Bing, Cui Zisong also came from a martial arts family, practicing from a young age. For those of martial lineage, Lan Bing had the utmost regard. If only she were in her best condition, she would certainly have wanted to fight Cui Zisong to determine who was superior.
"President Lan, I’ve got a pretty good grasp of your skills. Do you still intend to fight me?" Cui Zisong said.
"Fight!" A single word came out of Lan Bing’s mouth, her eyes conveying to Cui Zisong that she wouldn’t give up.
Cui Zisong’s eyes twinkled as he aimed for Lan Bing’s lower body, "Let’s see how you’ll fight me."
Lan Bing’s heart skipped a beat. As expected, Cui Zisong had pinpointed her weakness and aimed to destroy her lower body to prevent her from conserving energy.
With no other choice, Lan Bing was forced to attack, unable to stand still any longer.
Cui Zisong forced Lan Bing to exchange blows with him, and their movements were faster than anyone else’s before them, creating a fierce momentum on the stage that had all the surrounding students wide-eyed in amazement.
What it means to be trained in martial arts from a young age, what it means to come from a martial arts family—this could be seen in the distinct quality of Cui Zisong’s and Lan Bing’s fight.
Their attacks were so arcane and difficult to comprehend, yet their power was immense.
Even the surrounding stage suffered extensive damage from their assaults.
Whoosh~~~~
A sound slammed into a pillar of the stage, and when it became clear who stood on the stage and who had been sent flying, there was a collective sigh from the Zhongshan University student section.
The one who had been sent flying was Lan Bing.
Defeat!
Zhongshan University was going to be ranked last—everyone knew what this meant.
"Even the club president has lost, so now Zhongshan University might as well accept their fate!" Cui Zisong looked at Lan Bing, but his words were directed at all the students from Zhongshan University present.
"President!" The martial arts club members hurriedly ran up to the stage to help Lan Bing down.
Everyone was very worried; Lan Bing’s face was ashen, "I’m sorry for letting you all down."
"President, don’t blame yourself, it’s us who are useless, letting you fight alone against everyone," the club members from the martial arts club said, hanging their heads in shame.
"The defeat isn’t complete yet, there’s no need to be so downhearted so soon," suddenly, a voice reached everyone’s ears, causing Lan Bing to shiver.
Lan Bing’s gaze shot toward the source of the voice.
Ye Qiu!
He had returned!
The members of the martial arts club all showed joy; Ye Qiu’s sudden appearance meant that their club could potentially make a comeback.
Ye Qiu was regarded as the perfect coach in their eyes, with unfathomable strength.
"Heh heh, sorry, President Beauty, I hope I haven’t returned too late," Ye Qiu said with a smile. However, when his eyes swept across Lan Bing’s body, he frowned; the opposition’s method was cruel.
Ye Qiu could see that Lan Bing’s arm was already broken, and even though Lan Bing was trying hard to hide it, it did not escape Ye Qiu’s discerning eyes.
It was done by the guy on the stage, right?
Ye Qiu’s gaze then immediately fixated on Cui Zisong.
Cui Zisong had intended to leave the stage when suddenly the Zhongshan University martial arts club’s side erupted in excitement. He glanced over and recognized the reason for their joy—it was because of this man’s sudden appearance.
"Zhongshan University has not lost yet, I’ll have a go at you!" Ye Qiu said to Cui Zisong. All of a sudden, he kicked off the ground and his body lightly landed on the stage, causing Cui Zisong’s eyes to narrow with focus.
Expert!
Cui Zisong became fully alert in an instant, scrutinizing Ye Qiu. He had never seen this man before and had never heard of such a person at Zhongshan University. Who on earth was this man, and why hadn’t the intelligence they gathered mentioned him?
"I know what you’re thinking, no need to doubt anymore. I am also a member of the martial arts club, and as a part of it, today, I should contribute my own strength as well," Ye Qiu said.
"Besides, martial arts should be a contest between men, bullying a woman doesn’t count for anything, right?" Ye Qiu said coolly.
How could Cui Zisong not perceive the mockery in Ye Qiu’s words? He snorted coldly, a surge of anger rising in his heart. Who was this upstart? Even if he was an expert, he was too arrogant, what right did he have to lecture him?
In an instant, sparks of fighting spirit erupted between the two.
The audience in the gym cast inquisitive looks at this person who had appeared out of nowhere, and soon enough, someone recognized Ye Qiu.
"One Punch Man!"
"One Punch Man, Ye Qiu!"
As the nickname "One Punch Man" spread among the crowd, Ye Qiu was speechless inside. How did he become "One Punch Man"?
Ye Qiu didn’t realize that the nickname "One Punch Man" was earned because he had once defeated Ma Tao with a single move.
"One Punch Man, how laughable. Do you really think you can knock down anyone with a single punch?" Listening to the students cheering for Ye Qiu, Cui Zisong smirked disdainfully. Although he regarded Ye Qiu as an expert, he did not believe he would necessarily lose to him. Hearing about the "One Punch Man" made him even more scornful; what kind of expert would have such a tacky nickname?
