A Narrow Victory
Wu Jian knew that he couldn’t get Yue disqualified by accusing her of being older than the tournament’s rules allowed. Like she said, he had no proof, but this was also a double-edged sword for Yue.
“I might not have proof, but you can’t use chi during the tournament unless you want to be disqualified. That means I still have a chance!”
“What?!”
Yue’s shout was followed by an astonished yelp as Wu Jian got his legs in between them, tucked his knees into his chest, and kicked. The loud bang of a harsh impact rang out like fireworks. Yue was launched into the air, traveling in a beautiful parabolic arc before she struck the ground hard.
