Chapter 59: The Friday Trial

  Once loved, it's hard to forget, even if there was a moment when he wanted revenge.

  Time flies quickly, and before you know it, it's already Friday.

  In the two days prior to this, Tang Xiaotian had been at home practicing Tai Chi and Bajiquan.

  He thought he had practiced enough to be quite skilled, skilled enough for a battle.

  At one o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Xiaotian went to the gym with Sun Jing after finishing his meal.

  At this time, the internet had already blown up, and everyone was waiting for the live broadcast of this competition.

  "Tang Xiaotian will definitely win, I believe in him."

  "No wonder he sings so well, his kung fu must be good too."

  Those who support Tang Xiao Tian can always find reasons to support him, even if kung fu and music are actually mismatched.

  But others were sarcastic and dismissive.

  And when the time comes, as long as he doesn't get beaten until he's crying and begging for mercy, that's all that matters.

  "With his small build, who can he beat? Only a young master like Sun Mo would think he can take down five or six thugs, what a joke."

  "It's just, it's just..."

  The internet is in an uproar, and major media outlets are also busy, from time to time releasing some photos and short videos they took at the scene.

  Some video websites are vying for the broadcast rights of this game.

  Tang Xiaotian and Sun Jing arrived at the gymnasium at two o'clock. When they arrived, the gymnasium was already packed with reporters from various media outlets and many spectators.

  Tang Xiaotian had just arrived when he was surrounded by reporters.

  "Excuse me, Mr. Tang, are you confident about today's competition?"

  "Excuse me, Mr. Tang, who is your master? I heard that the other party has invited the owner of Zhao's Martial Arts Hall, and he is absolutely one of the top ten masters in Bohai City's martial arts circle. Do you have confidence to win against him?"

  Reporters surrounded Tang Xiaotian and asked him many questions. Tang Xiaotian wanted to leave but couldn't, so he said: "Since I, Tang Xiaotian, have come here, I will definitely win this match."

  Tang Xiaotian's domineering words were interrupted by a reporter who suddenly asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Tang, where did you get the courage to say that?"

  The words were obviously sarcastic, and Tang Xiaotian smiled coldly: "Because of strength."

  After finishing speaking, Tang Xiaotian suddenly stretched out his hand to part the crowd and walked out. The force was quite large, and those reporters were caught off guard. Several of them almost fell to the ground.

  Just when he was about to rush out, two men suddenly appeared at the door. The two men were one old and one middle-aged. The older man had a white beard and looked very elegant and refined. The middle-aged man was slightly chubby, but walked with a light step.

  Everyone suddenly lost interest in Tang Xiaotian after seeing these two people and swarmed up.

  "Hey, Lao Lv, you are a respected senior in the Bohai City martial arts world. Are you also interested in this match?"

  "Hey, Ye Zhangmen, your status is almost the same as Lao Lü's, why did you come too?"

  The older man was Lü Lao, whose name was Lü Xian. He was the president of Bohai City Wushu Association and a super master in Bohai City. In the entire martial arts circle of Bohai City, he could be said to have the final say.

  That middle-aged man was Ye Zhangmen, he was called Ye Ping, the master of the Ye family's boxing method, and now he was a first-class master, but had already almost squeezed into the super master level.

  The two are highly respected in Bohai City's martial arts circle. Their arrival can indeed make reporters very excited.

  Lü stroked his beard and said, "In literature, there is no first or second place; in martial arts, there must be a judge. Brother Ye and I are both here to act as judges."

  Lü Xiān, despite his advanced age, was quite talkative and would occasionally even crack jokes with others. On the other hand, Ye Píng was a rigid and serious person who, when asked by reporters, showed no intention of opening up to explain anything.

  Everyone seems to have some understanding of Ye Ping, so they don't mind and continue to ask Lü Xian.

  "Lü Lao, Zhao Yi and Tang Xiaotian's contest, who do you think is more likely to win?"

  When asked by the reporter, Lü Xian would not tell the truth. He laughed and said: "Zhao Yi's kung fu has already reached the standard of a quasi-top master. With a few more years of practice, his future will be boundless. As for that Tang Xiaotian, I don't know much about him either. However, I do like his song 'A Laugh in the Vast Ocean'. He should also have some skills. Who wins or loses is meaningless to ask about now. Let's just wait and see their match later."

  Lü said that the water was not leaking, but it made these reporters have no way to deal with it. Originally, Ye Ping, who did not speak a word, suddenly hummed: "Zhao Yi has already reached the level of a first-rate master in the early stage, how can Tang Xiaotian suddenly appear and be his opponent."

  After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the judging table. Lü Xian heard Ye Ping's words and stroked his beard with a bitter smile, then followed him up as well.

  After the two left, the reporter quickly posted these situations online.

  Netizens immediately started discussing again after listening to the two predecessors in the martial arts world.

  "I think Tang Xiaotian's chances of winning are not great either. If Ye Ping is telling the truth, then Zhao Yi has already reached the level of a top-notch master in the early stages. That would put him among the top six in Bohai City's martial arts circle! Tang Xiaotian was just a student before, and he's never been seen in the martial arts world. How could he possibly be Zhao Yi's match?"

  "Who says it's not? You should know that in the entire Huaxia, top-notch experts are not many."

  "Zhao Yi has made rapid progress in recent years and is a martial arts prodigy. It's strange that Tang Xiaotian can be his opponent."

  Many people didn't think highly of Tang Xiaotian, which made some supporters of Tang Xiaotian very unhappy and they began to refute.

  "Excuse me, have you guys ever watched martial arts movies? There are often hidden masters in those films. Who knows, maybe Tang Xiaotian is one of them."

  "Not to mention martial arts, even in Bohai City, there must be many skilled martial artists hiding. Those who are now famous are just because they are more high-profile, but you know, the real masters are all among the people."

  The discussion on the web continued, and at 2:30, the live broadcast began. At this time, a host came on stage to introduce the origin of this competition and the situation of both sides. After the introduction, he also introduced two referees, Lü Xian and Ye Ping. This dragged on for almost half an hour.

  Just as the live broadcast was about to start, in a rental room somewhere in Bohai City, Wu Qianqian shrank into her bed, staring at the live broadcast on her computer.

  She hasn't been out for several days and the once lively her now looks haggard to the point that people can barely recognize her.

  She watched the live broadcast and suddenly looked forward to Tang Xiaotian's appearance.

  After experiencing what happened that day, she realized that she was just a plaything of Sun Mo, and her life suddenly fell into a low valley.

  At that moment, however, memories of the past suddenly flashed before her eyes. She wanted to seek liberation but was unable to shake off the lingering emotions.
