Chapter 349 - 347: He Will Definitely Come
This time, Hao Jian didn’t plan to go up himself; instead, he assigned the task to Lin Yu. Anyway, their strengths are not far apart, and given Hao Jian’s current situation, Lin Yu is even slightly stronger.
Moreover, the highlight of the competition is not on Hao Jian but relies on Liu Wenbin and the possibly attending Chen Tianlong.
"Young Master Hao, do you think Chen Tianlong will come?"
Liu Wenbin’s right eye kept twitching, feeling something was off. He looked around, seeing some familiar faces, apparently no strangers, and Chen Tianlong was definitely not present.
"Heh, rest assured, I can guarantee he will definitely come."
Hao Jian said confidently.
There was a reason for this, as this morning, he was very anxious and ended up going to the principal’s office. Situ Feng simply said one sentence that reassured him, saying the person would indeed arrive.
So, he believed Situ Feng, thinking as a principal, the man surely wouldn’t joke about this. Also, Hao Jian learned that the plan was to let them win and force Huang Zhong back home.
Although Hao Jian didn’t know Huang Zhong’s exact background, since the principal wouldn’t tell him, he could guess it’s definitely some big family with a strong background; otherwise, even Situ Feng couldn’t handle him, which was not logical.
"Alright, as long as he shows up, we have a chance of winning," said Liu Wenbin.
"Okay, everyone please settle down, the match is about to start. As for the Four Crazy Young Masters, perhaps everyone recognizes them, so we won’t introduce them one by one,"
Zhang Liang continued to say loudly over the microphone.
"But wasn’t there a new Fifth Crazy Young Master who hasn’t appeared yet? We really want to see his face, hurry and let him come out for us to see,"
Some people who didn’t know Chen Tianlong shouted from below, and everyone excitedly joined in the commotion.
"Indeed, indeed, we want to see what the Fifth Crazy Young Master looks like."
"Yeah, yeah, let’s see if he’s handsome!"
"Oh no, another fierce person."
...
In fact, more than sixty percent of the people who came to watch the arena were here to catch a glimpse of this mysterious Fifth Crazy Young Master.
Therefore, as soon as the student council president Zhang Liang finished speaking, some couldn’t wait to shout out.
"Heh, as you mentioned, he has already made a request to us. He said that when it’s his turn, he will naturally come on stage, so please don’t be too excited and quiet down, the match is about to begin!"
After a slight pause, Zhang Liang continued speaking into the microphone: "Next, let’s welcome our contestant sent by Hao Jian, Lin Yu!"
"Eh..."
Upon hearing the name Lin Yu, everyone was somewhat disappointed. If Hao Jian took the stage and got beaten, they would be even happier. After all, Hao Jian is truly arrogant and imperious, causing a public uproar.
Lin Yu walked onto the stage amid the scattered applause from the crowd.
Today, he wore a Taekwondo uniform, making him look somewhat like a martial artist. Usually, he looked like a little thug with dyed hair and wearing flip-flops, stepping on the backs of shoes.
Lin Yu is tall and skinny, a stark contrast to his buddy Lao Xiaohu, who is short and chubby.
This Hao Jian truly has an eye for finding two people to intentionally make himself look cooler.
At this moment, Huang Zhong waved his hand, and a young man similarly tall and skinny took the stage. However, he had slightly dark skin and very sharp eyes, clearly marking him as a rather cold-blooded person.
It’s unclear if this person was initially a student or a fighter brought from the Capital City, but this person’s strength wasn’t bad either.
Though lean, his arms were very muscular, visible through the short-sleeved T-shirt he wore, with bulging muscles indicating he was someone who worked out regularly.
"Go Lin Yu!"
Although Hao Jian couldn’t participate, he hoped Lin Yu would win since he represented his Xu Family, and losing would mean he lost face.
So, all Liu Wenbin’s and Hao Jian’s followers in the audience heckled together, loudly cheering for Lin Yu.
Conversely, on Huang Zhong’s side, it was silent, but he merely chuckled coldly, seemingly uninterested in the match between the two.
These two subordinates were handpicked fighters from his family.
Of course, he couldn’t bring the more powerful ones. After all, those people were either too old or his father’s close confidants, and if they refused to come, he’d be helpless.
When the match began, Lin Yu spread his legs into a horse stance. However, after squatting slightly, he could not help but tremble.
This was understandable. Though Lin Yu used to be a Taekwondo expert, he hadn’t practiced for quite some time, and the body loses its edge.
Hao Jian shook his head in frustration, constantly wiping the sweat from his brow. From the looks of it, Lin Yu would definitely lose; he couldn’t even stand firm, how could he compete?
"Are you going to fight or not?"
The opponent glanced at Lin Yu with some disdain and said.
"Fight, fight, fight... Of course, I will. I just need to loosen my muscles; don’t you know you should warm-up before exercising?"
Lin Yu was actually looking for an opportunity. Given the current situation, he certainly couldn’t match his opponent and needed to seize the chance for a sneak attack.
He then retracted his legs and started doing push-ups and stretches, causing the crowd below to be speechless.
The opponent wiped the sweat from his forehead, somewhat helpless, as Huang Zhong had emphasized that they should make the opponents surrender submissively and not resort to sneak attacks.
While he wasn’t to employ sneak attacks, Lin Yu obviously intended to.
Just as he was daydreaming, Lin Yu moved. Though not very powerful, Lin Yu’s explosive power was remarkable. He charged forward like a praying mantis.
The dark-skinned guy was immediately annoyed; this person lacked manners. He offered Lin Yu a chance, yet Lin Yu retaliated even harsher.
However, facing Lin Yu’s onslaught, the dark-skinned guy gave a cold smile before kicking out.
"Gah?"
Everyone in the audience was dumbfounded.
Because on the stage, the scene was too comical. As Lin Yu jumped out, his shoe slipped, and before he even completely left the ground, he had already fallen face-first.
However, this allowed him to dodge a kick, judging that his sneak attack was poorly executed. The two of them were more than two meters apart; even if the sneak attack succeeded, it wouldn’t necessarily impact the opponent significantly.
After Lin Yu fell, he felt pain throughout his body, almost breaking his back. Yet, hearing the audience’s sighs, he immediately lay on his side and continued to stretch.
"..."
Hao Jian was utterly dismayed; what was Lin Yu doing here? Wasn’t he very capable before? This kid had regressed to a primitive state after following him for a year; he’d have to train him well afterward.
"Damn, kid, are you done yet? If you don’t want to compete, just voluntarily admit defeat and stop embarrassing yourself on stage." The dark-skinned guy was unable to tolerate it any longer.
