Chapter 127: Let Me Try
Xiao Wang smiled slightly at Feng Jingsheng in response.
Xiao Wang then coughed twice to clear his throat, and then said to everyone present, "Hello, everyone."
After saying those three words, Xiao Wang deliberately paused, waiting until the conversation quieted down and everyone's attention was focused on him before continuing, "I am Xiao Wang. Enough with the nonsense. Since I started this, anyone who wants to challenge me, please."
After Xiao Wang finished speaking, he gestured for Xiao Wang to proceed.
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room started chattering and whispering, but no one went up.
Everyone knows that if the first person to go up wins, they will become famous, since almost all the high schools in the outer city have sent people today, and the news will spread quickly. Conversely, if they lose, their name will also spread immediately.
After Xiao Wang finished speaking, he waited for a while, but there was no movement. If there was really no one there, he was prepared to say a few words and then take his leave to practice shooting.
There was no intention to compete in the first place; we just gathered everyone together to save trouble. If no one else wants to participate, we can just declare the competition over.
"If no one's around..."
"I'll do it."
Before Xiao Wang could finish speaking, a man stepped forward from the crowd, walked to the edge of the open space, glanced at Xiao Wang, then scanned the crowd with his eyes, and said:
"Tian Wei from No. 4 Middle School. I'm not here today to challenge you, Xiao Wang, but to challenge your entire No. 7 Middle School. Anyone who wants to get in, come on over."
After these words were spoken, the scene erupted in chaos, especially among the students from No. 7 Middle School.
"That's pretty arrogant."
"Get him."
"Is this someone trying to emulate Xiao Wang? What level of skill do they have to even try?"
At this point, someone had already announced Tian Wei's ranking: 52nd.
Some classmates came to watch the fun and brought the entire ranking list. As soon as Tian Wei said his name, he immediately looked it up on the list.
After learning the rankings, the shouts from the students of No. 7 Middle School became much quieter.
Because they knew that, apart from Xiao Wang, everyone else in the entire No. 7 Middle School was ranked outside the top 100. Tian Wei was ranked 52nd, and apart from Xiao Wang, anyone else who went up would probably just be embarrassed.
Those from other schools, however, were very enthusiastic.
"Hey, No. 7 Middle School students, go!"
"Is anyone still at No. 7 Middle School?"
"No way, nobody dares to go up? That's it? And you dare say anyone who wants a challenge can come?"
Seeing that no one dared to step forward except Xiao Wang, Tian Wei revealed a mocking expression, "What, is there no one else at No. 7 Middle School besides Xiao Wang? Are they all useless?"
Xiao Wang interrupted, raising his voice, "Everyone, I invited you to challenge me today, so let's not go off-topic, okay?"
Tian Wei looked at Xiao Wang and said, "Fine, since everyone else is useless and no one else will step up, then you can come and see what kind of skill you have, someone who dares to challenge the entire outer city."
After Tian Wei finished speaking, he had already gotten into a fighting stance.
"That's more like it, if you have a problem, come at me, right?"
After Xiao Wang finished speaking, he also got into a fighting stance.
The entire arena fell silent for a moment; the duel was about to begin.
Just then, Chu Wenlong looked at Xiao Wang and said, "Brother Wang, why don't you let me try first?"
Xiao Wang listened, then turned to look at Chu Wenlong, "Are you sure?"
Chu Wenlong's ranking is far below Tian Wei's, so his chances of winning are extremely slim, and it's almost impossible for him to win.
"It's alright, Brother Wang. Just treat it as practice. If I lose, you're still here, aren't you?"
"Heh, I thought your Seventh Middle School had poor martial arts skills and that you were all cowards. Turns out you have some backbone."
Xiao Wang listened, ignoring Tian Wei, and stepped back to Chu Wenlong's side, saying, "Be careful."
"it is good."
Chu Wenlong walked to the center of the field and faced Tian Wei, introducing himself: "Chu Wenlong from No. 7 Middle School."
After he gave his name, the onlookers quickly began searching for Chu Wenlong's ranking on the list.
When they saw the rankings, they were all surprised.
"No way, 609th place?!"
"What's the point of this competition? We're definitely going to lose."
"Hey, maybe the rest of us from No. 7 Middle School shouldn't go. With that level of skill, we'd just lose anyway."
Although they were pessimistic about the rankings, what they didn't know was that the rankings were updated; previously, Chu Wenlong was ranked outside the top 700.
Xiao Wang and Chu Wenlong both heard these words.
Xiao Wang reminded Chu Wenlong from the side, "Focus on your own duel and don't let other information affect you."
"I understand, Brother Wang."
Upon hearing Chu Wenlong's ranking, Tian Wei was first taken aback, then sneered and said, "His courage is commendable, but his skill level is too poor. Hurry up, you're wasting my time."
After he finished speaking, his gaze instantly shifted, and he stared coldly at Chu Wenlong. "Please."
Knowing he was weaker, Chu Wenlong didn't hold back and charged at his opponent with a punch.
The speed was not slow; he had already done his best.
However, his speed posed no threat to Tian Wei, nor did it elicit a significant reaction from the onlookers.
"That speed is way off."
"Yeah, what's the point of competing at this level?"
"However, he's ranked over 600, so this speed is quite good."
While everyone was discussing, Chu Wenlong had already rushed up to Tian Wei and punched him directly in the face.
Tian Wei stood still, his eyes fixed on Chu Wenlong's fist.
Just as the fist was about to reach his nose, he turned sideways with incredible speed, dodging Chu Wenlong's fist. Then, with a twist of his waist, he delivered a solid punch to Chu Wenlong's abdomen.
boom!
With a dull thud, Chu Wenlong flew backward three meters and landed heavily on the ground. The surge of blood and qi throughout his body caused him to cough violently.
"Cough cough cough."
A collective sigh of sorrow rippled through the crowd as Chu Wenlong landed.
"Ugh!"
No one was surprised by this result, given the significant gap in skill.
However, everyone now had a clearer understanding of Tian Wei's strength.
They are quite strong.
Although Chu Wenlong's martial arts cultivation was not high, he was not small in stature. The fact that he could knock Chu back three meters with one punch must have been quite powerful.
Xiao Wang and Guan Chaoyang stepped forward and helped Chu Wenlong up.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, Brother Wang, you've embarrassed yourself."
"There's nothing shameful about it. You're already quite far behind him, so being able to spar with him is a bonus."
Guan Chaoyang glanced at Xiao Wang from the side and said, "Xiao Wang, you really know how to comfort people."
"I'm just telling the truth."
After defeating Chu Wenlong in one move, Tian Wei's confidence grew considerably. He scanned the entire arena, looked at everyone, and said, "Who else? Anyone who's not satisfied can come up here."
No one spoke. Several students from No. 7 Middle School were eager to try after seeing Chu Wenlong go up, but after witnessing that punch, they didn't dare to go up anymore.
Xiao Wang helped Chu Wenlong to the side, then walked to the center of the field.
"Since no one else is going, then... I'll do it."
