Chapter 34: Martial Arts Duel (Part 2)

  "Deceive Heaven and Cross the Sea!!" Zhou Yun rushed to Xu Jian's front, using his right foot as a pivot point to make a spin, utilizing inertia to enhance the force of his punch. His left hand drew a 180-degree arc in mid-air, striking his opponent's head directly.

  "En en. Xiao Yun performed well." Spectator Xu Xuan smiled slightly and said: "Others really want to eat popcorn and soda... It turns out this girl thought she was watching a movie."

  "The name of the move is too obvious." Xǔ Cǎi Yuè said with a sly smile: "Changing it will make it more interesting..."

  Seeing Zhou Yun make his move, Xu Jian couldn't help but praise him silently. He didn't expect this kid to have a pretty good fighting talent. Unfortunately, he had chosen the wrong opponent.

  Xu Jian took a step back, not facing the attack head-on. He slightly shifted his body to the side and easily dodged Zhou Yun's left fist. Xu Jian knew that this punch was just a feint, and the real killer move was the right fist that had rotated 360 degrees. If he were hit, he might even vomit up his gallbladder, and he didn't plan on spitting out water.

  Xu Jian's right knee cap went up and hit Zhou Yun's straight-punching right wrist, which happened to collide with Xu Jian's knee cap.

  With a change of knee, Zhou Yun was punched and Xu Jian took advantage of the momentum to kick down. Just as he heard a loud bang, Zhou Yun hadn't reacted yet, and was thrown out four or five meters away in a beautiful arc.

  "Cough... cough..." His chest was kicked, Zhou Yun let out a light cough as he tried to get up. Unfortunately, after struggling for half the day, he still couldn't straighten his body. Because his right hand had no strength left in it.

  The force is mutual, when a fierce attack is interrupted, the greater the punching power, the stronger the counterattack. Just now Zhou Yun only felt a numbness in his wrist, and then his whole right hand lost its sensation. Probably dislocated...

  With great difficulty, Zhou Yun propped himself up on his elbows and shook his head unsteadily. The third move of the Rogue's Thirteen Strikes, which he had previously been afraid to use because it was too powerful, had also failed. Was this really the difference between them?

  The two exchanged blows for only an instant, and I fell to the ground, about to lose my combat effectiveness. Damn it! How could this be? It's too humiliating.

  "Weird." Perceiving Zhou Yun lying motionless on the ground, Xu Caiyue couldn't help but feel a wave of doubt.

  He shouldn't be like this, Zhou Yun's eyes last night were not like that at all, did I do something wrong?

  Knowing that Xiao Jian is Xu Xuan's boyfriend, he should be very angry. To win over Xu Xuan, he should have tried harder. But now... he seems to have the idea of giving up. Could it be...!!!!!

  "Stop the match! Intermission!" exclaimed Xi Caiyue suddenly.

  "Huh?" The surrounding crowd murmured in confusion. The onlookers were stunned, had the match just begun? Why was it already suspended? And one side seemed to be losing quickly...

  Wrong, really wrong. Xu Caiyue anxiously thought that what could bring out his potential was not jealousy, nor desire, and even less hatred. The look in his eyes last night was a determination to protect her no matter what.

  Xu Caiyue suddenly realized and quickly came to Zhou Yun's side, hugging him in her arms: "It seems I misunderstood you..."

  "What are you talking about?" Zhou Yun heard the inexplicable words and forced a smile: "I seem to have lost."

  It feels great being held by a beauty, but for some reason, he now has a hint of regret in his heart, feeling that he shouldn't have lost so easily.

  "No... the trial isn't over yet, you haven't lost." Xu Caiyue's expression was like that of a lover, gently stroking his face: "Do you know what this trial means? It's not about pursuing your cousin, nor is it the Xu family testing you..."

  For some reason, facing Xu Caiyue's gentleness, Zhou Yun had a sense of déjà vu... just like that day...

  "????" Peeking at Zhou Yun and the other person whispering to each other, Xu Xuan tilted her cute head, puzzled: "What are they talking about? I really want to know... Should we go over and listen? But it feels like it would be very rude..."

  Xu Xuan muttered to herself as she carefully snuck over. Before long, she was like a curious cat, crouching beside the two of them and eavesdropping.

  Xu Caiyue suddenly interrupted the trial, she had no opinion. In fact, Xu Xuan was also worried about Zhou Yun, from a certain perspective, this was an unfair trial, after all, Xu Jian was a strong man with heterochromia.

  Xu Caiyue gazed at Zhou Yun's puzzled expression, and could only say lightly: "You truly like Xu Xuan, don't you think that besides yourself, there would be others more suitable to protect her?"

  "You're saying... Xu Xuan needs me?" Zhou Yun asked in confusion. Perhaps because of the Xiang Ling incident, Zhou Yun always felt a little inferior inside, thinking that he wasn't good enough for her, and whenever he encountered emotional issues, he would unconsciously avoid them, just like how he never dared to approach Xu Xuan to talk, always quietly hiding on the side.

  "Not just her, but me too." Xǔ Cǎi Yuè revealed a hint of a smile, and then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, she gently kissed Zhōu Yún on the forehead. Although it was only on the forehead, it was enough to make the surrounding onlookers howl with excitement.

  "Wow!! The kid earned it! I want some too! I want some too!!!"

  "Don't underestimate yourself, go and let Xu Xuan see your determination, your determination to be with her."

  A word awakened the dreamer, Zhou Yun suddenly felt a hot current flowing into his heart, his blood began to boil, and every cell in his body was expanding.

  Xu Caiyue is right, even if I can't beat the opponent, it's okay. Even if I'm really not as good as the opponent, it's okay. But the determination to be with Xu Xuan together, I will never lose to anyone!

  "Qī yuè..." Zhōu Yún rubbed his face and called out. Just as Xǔ Cǎi Yuè felt strange, he shamelessly said: "I didn't feel anything just now, can I kiss you again?"

  It's unclear whether she was being serious or not, but Xǔ Cǎi Yuè narrowed her eyes and said: "If we win, I'll consider it."

  "Woohoo! I'm back to life!" Zhou Yun suddenly jumped up, pointing at Xu Jian and shouting: "Xiao Pingtou, your time is up! Round 2 begins! Wahahahaha!!"

  In an instant, Zhou Yun revived and rushed towards Xu Jian with his head covered, still letting out eerie screams along the way...

  "Sister, have you heard enough?" Xǔ Cǎi Yuè slowly turned around, looking down at Xǔ Xiǎo who was squatting beside her: "Eavesdropping on people's conversations is very impolite."

  "Oh dear! I didn't hear anything!" Xǔ Xuān covered her ears and pretended to be silly.

  "Really? You seem very happy, looking at your sister's expression."

  "Is there? It seems like just a little bit! Just that little bit......" As she spoke, Xu Xuan even used her pinky to illustrate the 'little bit'.

  It's true that in this deceitful society, finding someone who wholeheartedly devotes themselves to you will make anyone feel happy.

  "Hmm! So that little bit from Sister Biao was actually that much! It's rare for someone to fight for you, so just add two more points!" said Xu Caiyue, who could see through people's hearts.

  "Hmmph!" Xǔ Xuān saw the move and countered, saying "Oppose violence! Fighting is not right!" Then she turned her head away, no longer paying attention to this troublesome cousin.

  Zhou Yun's attention refocused on the arena, and he kicked off once more: "Flowing Rogue Three Extremes. Double Flying 3P, change!"

  Through improvement, the originally simple double flying kick evolved into a two-segment kick. The first segment is to borrow momentum and display the flying arrow leg, which is the reverse bow step kick. When Xu Jian dodges sideways, Zhou Yun suddenly twists his waist to shift his center of gravity, and the second segment is an empty sweep kick, making a magnificent appearance.

  A fierce gust of wind blew by, and a dark figure rushed towards him with its head raised. Dodging was no longer possible, and with no other choice, Xu Jian could only raise his hands to block...
