Chapter 57 Smiley Face Vs Stiff Face
The day pass by so quickly that it was already time for the competition.
All participants were standing in the open area in front of the Mansion and a mock-up stage was put in the center.
The friendly match would end when one of the participants lose the battle or either fall off the stage. There is no next fight or a rematch just a one-time battle.
Hua Meili is sure that the other side will not have the time to ask for a rematch considering her team's strength.
She is not arrogant but she knew their skills and her team would definitely not lose.
If her team does lose to their opponent, then all that she taught them and the ZC crystals that they had used so far would all be a waste!
If they still lose despite having the biggest advantage then they are just pure dumb!
"Alright. Here is a wooden box and inside it is sheets of paper with numbers written on them. The number you will get will decide the order of the fight."
All the participants stood in two lines, one by one they took turns in drawing their lot.
Opening the folded paper, their numbers were revealed.
The first participants who will fight are Gao Hou and Zhongcheng Qingren.
The second participant was Yu Feng and Guo Zhongcheng.
The third participants are Yu Diqiu and Du Hexi.
The fourth participant will be Mingque Shui and Mu Hexin.
And the last, the final participants are Lian Pian and Pingjun Dao.
"I will be the referee of this competition."
Jin Hua came up to the stage and looked down on the participants who will be fighting in the friendly match as he explained the rules to them.
The rules of the match are simple.
The last one standing will be the winner.
"If you got knocked down, I will only count to three. If you don't get up on three, it is considered your loss. It will be also considered your loss if you get knocked out of the mock-up stage. Lastly, you are not allowed to intentionally do harm to your opponent. This is only a friendly match so I hope that you do not take things seriously. Anyone who breaks the rules would be punished, understand?"
Jin Hua who neither favored anyone nor sided with a favorite person sternly warned his team and the other team.
What he hates the most are people who play dirty tricks to get what they want. He really abhors people who use underhanded tricks and could not tolerate them.
If he were to really witness such a disgusting scene, he will not just sit back and watch!
"We understand!" Everybody chorused.
They all knew that this is just a friendly match so they all agreed to what Jin Hua said. No need to take things seriously even if they lose, this match is only to learn more from each other.
They were all just comparing notes and at the same time comparing who is stronger!
"If you all understand then let this match begin! First to come up, Gao Hou and Zhongcheng Qingren!"
Being called up, Gao Hou practically jumps up the stage in a flashy fashion. He combs his hair back and grinned at the audience flashing his signature smile.
"Go, Brother Hou!"
While Zhongcheng Qingren was the complete opposite of him. He walked up the stage calmly and cross his arms in front of the wacko.
Gao Hou noticed Zhongcheng Qingren and did some provoking gestures to irritate and anger the stoic man he would be fighting.
He really wanted to see him angry, it will be fun to see him lose his cool.
But no matter how much Gao Hou provokes Zhongcheng Qingren, he remained unmoved.
Zhongcheng Qingren looked at Gao Hou coldly with a hint of indifference and undisguised contempt.
He looked at him like he was looking at some idiot or some clown performing tricks.
Zhongcheng Qingren only had three words for him, a big idiot!
Seeing the undisguised contempt within his eyes, Gao Hou was the one provoked instead and got angry.
"Contestants ready, start!"
At the sound of the whistle, everyone watch the match with bated breath.
"Who do you think will win, my lady?"
Du Hexi looks at Hua Meili with interest.
"Of course, him."
Hua Meili stared back at Du Hexi with a bored look who had been watching her who knows when.
Du Hexi smiled.
"Tea, my lady?"
"No."
Hus Meili rolled her eyes at him and got back to watching the two people on the stage not minding the creepy butler beside her.
Gao Hou quickly launches an attack hoping to catch Zhongcheng Qingren off guard. He dashes toward him and put all of his strength into that one punch going toward his stomach.
But unexpectedly, Zhongcheng Qingren swiftly dodges his attack.
He knew that Gao Hou would strike first knowing how hot-headed he was so he waited for his attack and when he did, he seize his chance.
Zhongcheng Qingren held Gao Hou's wrist with one hand and quickly kneed him on his stomach.
He then twists the other man's arms bringing him down on the floor, and twisting his shoulders at his back.
Zhongcheng Qingren's attack was just too fast that before Gao Hou could properly process what was happening, he was already down on the floor with his face smashed on the wooden floor.
Even the audience was in awe of Zhongcheng Qingren's ability.
They knew that he was strong but not this strong!
Even if he is strong, he should at least fight Gao Hou a few times before defeating him.
But they never expected that with just one move and Gao Hou was down the floor with Zhongcheng Qingren twisting his arms behind his back.
"Give up or I will break your arm."
Zhongcheng Qingren twist the shoulders he was holding a little in a threatening manner to scare the man who was kneeling on the floor in pain.
Though he was just lightly saying a threat, he was not joking at all when he said he will break his arms.
If Gao Hou refuses to give up then he will really break his arm!
If he still refuses, he will break the other arm and then break his legs until he gives up!
What friendly match?
Zhongcheng Qingren only knows how to win or lose!
"Ow ow! Ouch! You can't break my arm, that's against the rules!" Gao Hou gritted his teeth.
He had never expected that this stoic man was so strong!
Gao Hou never once thought that Zhongcheng Qingren is just an ordinary human although he had never shown his ability.
Just by his aura alone, he could tell that he had an ability.
"But, that is the only way for you to give up. You either give up now before I break your arm."
Zhongcheng Qingren twisted Gao Hou's arms a little making him yelp in pain.
If he still refuses to surrender, he will find himself with a broken arm.
"A-Alright! I give up!"
Zhongcheng Qingren smirked happy about his answer.
He gave his arms a last twist before letting go, payback for provoking him and irritating him.
With this, this idiot won't try provoking him again, right?
"Zhongcheng Qingren wins!" Jin Hua announced.
Team Meili with the lead of Gou Zhongcheng, gave a huge cheer for their victory happy that they won.
While Team Jin could only give a bitter smile.
"Ouch! That hurts man!" Gao Hou complained while touching his sore arms.
"You will not only end up with sore arms if you provoke me again."
Zhongcheng Qingren warned Gao Hou before walking back towards his group flashing them a "smile".
"Good job! Gao Hou did not even have a chance to fight back." Hua Meili praised.
"I did not let you down, right?" Zhongcheng Qingren asked sitting beside Guo Zhongcheng.
"No, you didn't."
