Volume 4: Ouyang's Counterattack Chapter 5: A Duel Between Men (Part 1)

  In the afternoon, a crowd of people gathered in front of the QH University Karate Gym, with groups of two or three university students wearing white uniforms everywhere.

  As a popular fitness project in China, karate is highly respected by many Chinese people, especially university students. So, after school, there are many students who have joined the karate club rushing here to learn karate.

  Suddenly, a black Audi came from afar with its horn blaring, and the reckless driving scared pedestrians along the way to dodge. It drove all the way to the entrance of the Kung Fu school before screeching to a halt.

  Ouyang Xuan calmed down a bit, opened his heart's door and stepped out.

  "Hey, you - classmate, you can't park here. Don't you think it's very rude to leave your car in front of the dojo? Hurry up and drive away." At this time, a young man who seemed to be an employee of the karate dojo walked over, saying disapprovingly.

  Ouyang Xuan took off his sunglasses, his sharp eyes coldly scanning the past, and said calmly: "Today I came here, not just to block your gate, but also to teach your president Tanaka Koichi a good lesson! Those who know what's good for them should leave now. I usually don't hit Chinese people!"

  This man was swept by Ouyang Xun's sharp eyes, and his heart suddenly became timid for three points, his legs were a bit weak, and he couldn't speak for a while.

  Ouyang Xuan no longer paid attention to him and stepped up onto the steps, heading into the building.

  Just as they arrived at the gate, three people suddenly appeared from behind the pillar, and Ouyang Xuan was taken aback.

  It was exactly Liu Chuan, Luo Qi and Huang Fu Yiling, three of them.

  As soon as she saw Ouyang Xuan, Huangfu Yiling was both shocked and delighted. She hastily went forward, grabbed Ouyang Xuan's arm, and whispered: "Ouyang, let's leave, okay? Don't fight!"

  Ouyang Xuan furrowed his brow, ignoring Huangfu Yiling, and instead glared fiercely at Liu Chuan and Luo Qi, who were shrinking their heads, saying: "Why did you have to tell her!? Don't you really consider me a brother!?"

  "Ouyang," Liu Chuan said with a bitter smile, "We common people can't afford to offend these powerful officials, let's just forget it!"

  "Ouyang, you can blame us or scold us, but we're doing this for your own good!" Luo Qi also tried to persuade him.

  "Yes, Ouyang, don't blame them! Tanaka Koichi's karate is very powerful, you're no match for him! Let's go, I'm begging you!" Huang Fu Yiling desperately pulled Ouyang Xuan, almost in tears.

  "Let me go!" Ouyang Xuan's arm rose, easily shaking off Huangfu Yiling's entanglement. Coldly, he said: "A'ling, you still don't understand me! For me, dignity and friendship sometimes surpass life! If you really like me, then don't stop me!"

  After finishing speaking, Ouyang Xuan pushed away Liu Chuan and Luo Qi, and stepped into the karate gym with a resolute stride.

  "What a stubborn donkey!" Rochi shook his head with a bitter smile.

  "Ouyang!" Huangfu Yiling cried out in concern.

  "Sister-in-law, don't cry anymore, let's go in and take a look quickly!" Liu Chuan was somewhat flustered, hastily beckoning the two to follow him into the Taoist temple.

  ……

  As soon as he entered the Taoist temple, Ouyang Xuan found that in the spacious hall, many young students were seated on the floor, surrounding a large platform in the middle. A handsome young man wearing a white martial arts uniform was standing on the platform, lecturing about something.

  "Tanaka Koichi!" Ouyang Xuan's eyes suddenly turned red, and he strode over in big steps.

  "Hey, who are you and what are you doing?" Just as Ouyang Xuan was about to step onto the stage, a staff member from the dojo blocked his path and angrily asked.

  "Get out!" Ou Yang Xuan pulled his hand back, and the servant suddenly lost his balance, thudding to the floor with a "thud".

  With this commotion, Tanaka Koichi, who was on the stage explaining karate techniques, couldn't continue and turned his head to coldly stare at Ouyang Xuan, who had walked onto the stage wearing leather shoes. He furrowed his brow and asked: "Who are you? What do you want?"

  "Really forgetful, we just met half a month ago and you can't remember now?" Ouyang Xuan said coldly.

  Tanaka Koichi's memory was very good, and with this reminder, he suddenly came to his senses: "Oh——, you're the boyfriend of Huangfu Miss, Ouyang Xuan, right!? What brings you here today?"

  "It seems you've investigated me quite thoroughly!" Ouyang Xuan calmly took off his shoes, stepped on the soft and hard floor, and said coldly: "However, there's no need to pretend, don't you understand why I'm here?"

  Tanaka Koichi seemed somewhat perplexed, and said in a puzzled tone: "Do I have some misunderstanding with you? Or, am I pursuing Miss Huangfu which made you angry!? However, as long as Miss Huangfu doesn't marry you for one day, I have the right to pursue her, don't I?"

  "Hmm——" Ouyang Xuan sneered, raising one finger: "NO.1: My girlfriend doesn't like you, she likes me. You're harassing her, and that makes me unhappy. NO.2: This is also what angers me the most - in order to pursue my girlfriend, you actually sent your underlings to secretly beat up my brother. Are Japanese people always so despicable?"

  Tanaka Koichi was taken aback, his strong face showing some confusion and anger, as he suppressed his temper and said: "Ouyang classmate, I think you must have a prejudice against us Japanese people. Pursuing Huangfu Miss is something I do have, but I didn't let anyone beat your brother, you must be misunderstanding!"

  "If there's bias, then it's because you Japanese people have brought it upon yourselves. However, the grudge between us is just a personal matter, so don't go bringing up 'bias' for no reason!" Ouyang Xuan sneered: "But if you secretly hit someone and now don't dare to admit it, I'm afraid I'll have bias against not just you, but all Japanese people! Where are those two bodyguards of yours? Do you want to call them out to verify?"

  Tanaka Koichi glared and turned his head, shouting: "Toshitsugu, Yukinosuke, come here!"

  "Hah!" Two big men wearing white martial arts uniforms stood up from the audience and strode onto the stage - they were Tanaka Koichi's two bodyguards!

  "To be honest, did you guys beat him up?" Tanaka Koichi frowned and said coldly.

  The two bodyguards looked at each other, and a slightly thinner one respectfully said: "Young Master, Junya just wanted to teach those two people who don't know what's good for them a lesson!"

  "Hahaha......" Ou Yang Xuan sneered with a smile: "How about it, Tanaka Koichi? Your people have all admitted it. What else do you have to say? Are you still saying that I'm biased against the Japanese?"

  Tanaka Koichi's face suddenly turned red with anger, and he slapped the two bodyguards four times, shouting: "You two idiots, you're really embarrassing us Japanese people! Didn't I tell you not to hit people casually?!"

  "Ah one, sorry!" The two bodyguards didn't dare to dodge and took the four slaps squarely, their cheeks on both sides were swollen.

  "Ah, so that's how it is!" — At this point, the students in the auditorium had already figured out what was going on, but they just looked at each other without making any comments. The reason was simple: helping Tanaka Hirokazu wouldn't hold water and would be tantamount to treason; while helping Ouyang Xuan, these people seemed to worry that they would have to face consequences later, so they all just quietly watched the situation unfold.

  At this time, Tanaka Koichi turned his face and bowed deeply to Ouyang Xuan: "Sorry, Ouyang classmate, I really didn't know about this matter, it was all done by my two useless subordinates. Here, on their behalf, I apologize to you and your classmates, and am willing to make appropriate compensation! If you are still not satisfied, I can expel them back to Japan. What do you think?"

  "No way! First of all, they beat people up, do you think just compensating with some money can make it go away? Secondly, I don't believe this has nothing to do with you!" Ouyang Xuan flatly refused.

  "What do you want me to do?" Tanaka Koichi said with a helpless expression.

  "First, I'll make sure to teach your two bodyguards a lesson and then pay for their medical expenses. Of course, from now on, I also hope these two people will disappear from our QH campus, as arrogant people like them are not welcome here.

  Second, in order to avoid similar troubles in the future, let's have a duel: if you win, I won't oppose your pursuit of Huangfu anymore; whoever wins will be decided by their own abilities. If you lose, don't bother Huangfu again!

  I think these two conditions shouldn't be too excessive, right?" Ouyang Xuan said coldly - being able to teach the Japanese a lesson was his long-held wish, and he wouldn't give it up easily.

  Tanaka Hiroichi was taken aback, looking at Ouyang Xuan in surprise, then shook his head and said sincerely: "Ouyang classmate, please forgive me, it's not that I look down on you. My subordinates and I have all received strict martial arts training, I am a sixth-degree black belt in karate, they are fifth-degree, you can't beat us. I'm already very sorry about the two of you being beaten, I don't want to add any more trouble for you! Please be realistic, let's discuss and resolve this misunderstanding!"

  Ouyang Xuan was taken aback, then suddenly burst out laughing: "I now actually believe you didn't know anything, and I've also started to like you a bit - you're not a bad person. However, it seems you've forgotten one thing: in China's vast land, there are tigers and dragons lurking everywhere - how can you be so sure I won't be able to beat you guys?"

  Tanaka Koichi's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he carefully sized up Ouyang Xuan. After a moment of hesitation, he said: "Alright, since this is a grudge between men, let's settle it like men. But let's just stop at the point of making our point, no need to hurt each other's feelings!"

  "For you, I can hold back! But for them," Ouyang Xuan's fierce gaze swept towards the two bodyguards, coldly saying: "I will definitely make them understand China's etiquette!"

  "Ouyang!" Suddenly, Huangfu Yiling rushed up from the stage and grabbed Ouyang Xuan, begging him in distress: "Ouyang, don't fight! You can't beat them! Let's leave, okay? Tanaka has already apologized, so please forgive him!"

  Seeing Huangfu Yiling, Tanaka Koichi bowed hastily and apologized: "Miss Huangfu, my people have caused you trouble, I'm really sorry!"

  Ouyang Xuan glanced at Huangfu Yiling and said coldly, "I've told you before, this is a matter between men, it's best if you don't interfere! If you stop me again, I'll regret choosing you as my girlfriend, because I think you fundamentally don't understand me!"

  Huang Pu Yiling was taken aback, tears streaming down from the corners of her eyes as she choked out: "T-then you be careful yourself!" Without another word, she silently walked off the stage.
