Chapter 143: A Trick or Two
These words were extremely grating on the ears!
Seeing the miserable state of Fatty Luo, the onlookers, who had initially been mere spectators, all began to frown.
"Hey, hey, hey... Isn't this going too far? You've already beaten the guy, and yet you still have to speak so cruelly?"
"That's right... To be fair, it's just martial arts styles... There's no need to take it to such a malicious level!"
"I like both Taekwondo and Chinese Kung Fu, but this Park Chang... saying things like this is truly going too far!"
However...
Deep down in his bones, Park Chang was simply an inherently arrogant person!
Of course... he truly had the capital to be arrogant!
He looked coldly at Fatty Luo: "Chinese kid, your strength is too weak. I could have killed you with a single blow just now, but I didn't! Because weaklings are not worthy of making me use my full strength! — Get lost!"
With that, Park Chang kicked Fatty Luo right in the head!
Bang!!
Another dull thud echoed out!
Many people instinctively covered their eyes, unable to bear watching any longer!
Too cruel!
Yet...
To everyone's surprise...
The moment he was kicked in the head, Fatty Luo used both hands to grab onto Park Chang's leg with a death grip!
"I... I haven't lost yet! I haven't even made my move!"
Dragging Park Chang's leg, Fatty Luo struggled to pull himself back up.
"Huh?!!"
Park Chang's eyes widened, and a look of immediate disgust crossed his face: "Don't use the blood of a trash like you to contaminate my uniform!"
With that, he raised his hand, preparing to smash it fiercely down onto Fatty Luo's face!
"Stop, stop..."
Seeing this situation, two university staff members hurriedly rushed onto the ring and grabbed Park Chang to hold him back: "Mr. Park! Don't be impulsive! — This is just a friendly martial arts exchange and competition; don't be too ruthless!"
Blocked from striking, Park Chang furrowed his brows deeply and said coldly: "Since you dare to challenge, you must endure the pain of fists and feet! My strikes are a sign of respect for the ring!"
Having said that, he still kicked Fatty Luo fiercely out of the ring!
This kick was powerful and heavy, though he had held back some of his strength.
After all, if he had used his full force, Fatty Luo would have been left with only a dead end!
He was well aware that this was a school. Although it had been agreed beforehand that fists and eyes have no sympathy in the ring, he still had to be mindful of the occasion to some extent.
"This is going too far!"
At this moment, the members of the Chinese Kung Fu Club could finally no longer sit still. A large crowd swarmed forward to surround the ring, creating quite an imposing momentum.
Park Chang sneered: "A bunch of mobsters. Don't waste time. Since Ling Qiu doesn't dare to accept the challenge, hand over the signboard of your Chinese Kung Fu Club and let me trample it to pieces! — Furthermore, I want you to admit with your own mouths that Chinese Kung Fu is not even worthy of carrying the shoes for Taekwondo!"
Everyone gritted their teeth in anger, but aside from helping Fatty Luo up, no one dared to step forward in the face of Park Chang!
"Hahaha!"
Seeing the cowardly look of these people, Park Chang suddenly burst into loud laughter!
How satisfying!
The pent-up frustration from when his disciple Park Dao-si had his arms crippled was mostly vented now!
"You... you shouldn't talk so excessively! Just because you're the strongest one here today doesn't mean that our Chinese Kung Fu is no good!"
Clutching his stomach, Fatty Luo said with mounting fury!
Park Chang sneered: "Very well, I'll give you another chance. Send up ten people at once, and I will only use one foot. — Do you dare to accept the challenge?"
As he spoke, Park Chang clasped both hands behind his back!
Hearing this, the crowd froze, and still no one dared to take a single step forward!
Everyone gritted their teeth, feeling utterly humiliated and suppressed!
Some inwardly cursed Ling Qiu in their hearts!
What a coward!
He caused the trouble himself, yet he leaves others to suffer humiliation here!!
And right at this moment...
A voice suddenly came from the entrance: "To defeat you, one person is enough. Why make such a fuss?"
Huh?!!
Following the sound, the crowd looked toward the source, and upon seeing who had arrived, their eyes widened in shock!
What the hell?!
Ling...
Ling Qiu?!!
In an instant, the entire venue erupted into an uproar!
"Hey! Ling Qiu... he actually showed up??"
"Yeah... What the hell, didn't ... didn't he run away out of fear?!"
"Could it be... he ran halfway, suddenly felt guilty in his heart... and came back?"
"So what if he comes back... Against Park Chang, he's only going to get beaten up!"
The crowd was a mix of excitement and worry. Naturally, a group of people also engaged in schadenfreude, mocking Ling Qiu for overestimating his own capabilities!
Zhao Dezhufollowed closely behind, jogging all the way, and grabbed Ling Qiu by the hand: "Brother! Where the hell did you go?! I genuinely thought you'd been scared off!!"
An excited smile spread across his face!
He had said all along that Ling Qiu was not the type of person to flee without a fight!
However...
A trace of worry quickly reappeared on his face.
Park Chang had just shown off a couple of moves, and that technique, that power, that speed... Honestly, he was clearly much stronger than Park Dao-si!
Ling Qiu said casually, "Went to detoxify someone."
Zhao Deqiu: ???
What the heck? Detoxify someone?
Zhao Dezhu shook his head vigorously: "Never mind that! Let me tell you something very important! This guy just threw down, and his strength and speed..."
Before Zhao Dezhu could finish, Ling Qiu smiled and waved his hand dismissively: "Alright, no need to say it, I saw it all."
Actually...
Ling Qiu had already been at the entrance just moments ago.
Only, he had concealed his aura, so no one noticed him.
And the very first thing he witnessed was Fatty Luo being kicked out of the ring.
At that moment, Ling Qiu had an instinctive urge to rush up and deal with this Park Chang directly...
However...
After hearing Park Chang's remarks, he simply gave a calm shake of his head.
So-called master?
With this kind of state of mind and tone, was there even a shred of a master's demeanor?
For a person like this, Ling Qiu couldn't even be bothered to make a move.
Therefore...
Ling Qiu walked forward, cast a calm glance at Park Chang, and asked, "I heard you want to challenge me?"
Park Chang's expression sank, shifting slightly for a moment before he grinned hideously and said, "Heh... Chinese kid, you've got guts! Since you already ran away in fear, why come back to court death?"
With that, Park Chang stepped closer to Ling Qiu, his gaze icy: "Let me tell you, don't think that just because this is a school, I won't dare to go hard on you!"
At this point, Fatty Luo and his brother Thin Luo hurriedly approached Ling Qiu.
Clutching his stomach with the pain still lingering, Fatty Luo said with a pale face: "Ling Qiu... I know how you feel... But I exchanged a couple of moves with him just now... He is strong, several times stronger than Park Dao-si... You... are no match for him! Just admit defeat!... While there are green hills left, there's no need to worry about firewood. With your current strength and talent, one day you will surpass him and you can challenge him back!"
His voice was very soft, audible only to Ling Qiu and two or three people nearby.
Yet Ling Qiu merely smiled faintly and gently patted Fatty Luo's shoulder: "You showed a lot of courage just now."
With that, Ling Qiu turned his head to look at Park Chang: "I have two things to tell you. First of all: I... am not going to fight you today."
As soon as these words dropped, everyone froze in astonishment!
Huh?
What is the meaning of this?
You came all the way here...
Yet you say you won't fight?
You might as well not have come back at all, dammit!
This makes it even more humiliating!!
