Chapter 772 - 770: Got a Solution
But Lin Wushuang found something fishy. Chen Tianlong couldn’t be that weak; a palm wind could make him faint?
In the past, even in the face of enemies, he could withstand fierce attacks. How could he be easily taken down like this? So Lin Wushuang was convinced that Chen Tianlong would surely stand up again.
Wu Mengting, sitting in her seat, was extremely nervous. She wasn’t worried whether Chen Tianlong could compete but rather worried if something had happened to him.
Although she couldn’t believe that a single move from Zhenzi could bring Chen Tianlong down to such an extent, unable to stand, she was still very concerned about his safety.
"Mengting, you don’t have to worry. Tianlong is definitely pretending. Haha, this guy loves to show off," Lu Xiaoyu said with a laugh while munching on popcorn. "Watch, when they count to nine, you’ll see Tianlong full of energy again, believe me. I’m practically telepathic with Tianlong."
Wu Mengting felt speechless, but at that moment, thunderous applause erupted around the arena, louder and more enthusiastic than ever before.
The two looked up to see Chen Tianlong already on his feet, bouncing twice on the spot, and he said, "Wow, I lay down just now and immediately fell asleep. I didn’t get a good sleep last night, haha."
When Zhang Jie counted to nine, Chen Tianlong suddenly sprang up, startling him, making him take two steps back hurriedly. But seeing Chen Tianlong alive and kicking made him happy as well.
After all, this match was about the nation’s dignity. As a Huaxia person, seeing your comrade get back up at the last moment was quite exciting.
"Chen Tianlong, can you continue the match?" Zhang Jie inquired.
"Of course, sure I can. Just said I was just too sleepy and fell asleep." Chen Tianlong resumed his seemingly careless demeanor, but in reality, he was always on alert against his opponent.
"Alright then, the match continues!" As soon as Zhang Jie finished speaking, he quickly moved to the side of the stage, observing the actions of the two competitors.
Zhenzi wasn’t surprised at all to see Chen Tianlong standing up again.
At this moment, she suddenly wanted to have a proper fight with Chen Tianlong because he had indeed deceived her. Otherwise, how could someone play dead at such a critical moment unless they had a strong psychological foundation?
"Kid, you dared to fool me. I didn’t want to deal with you before, but now I’ve changed my mind. If I don’t make you fall today, I’m not Zhenzi." Zhenzi glared, fixing her eyes on Chen Tianlong in front of her.
"Oh? Then what would you change your name to if you aren’t Zhenzi?" Chen Tianlong deliberately jested.
"Hmph, I know you’re good with words, but save these tricks. They won’t work on me. Playing dumb to catch the wise is for dealing with fools, not me."
Zhenzi clearly found Chen Tianlong’s tricks distasteful, yet she couldn’t deny that his tactic of playing dumb to catch the wise worked repeatedly.
"Hehe, may I ask, is your IQ really high?" Chen Tianlong kept asking, but he had a purpose. He wanted to provoke Zhenzi, making her attack when she was off guard.
Otherwise, if you strike when she’s highly alert, your needle might easily be dodged. But if you attack suddenly under various deceptions, catching her completely off guard.
"You... Are you going to compete or not? If not, you can tell the referee you’re forfeiting instead of blabbering here pointlessly."
Zhenzi was getting a bit angry. This Chen Tianlong was truly low, chattering endlessly and annoyingly.
"Aha, forfeiting? I wouldn’t do that. You’ve got a thicker skin. Why don’t you give it a try?" Chen Tianlong said, looking a bit disdainfully at Zhenzi.
"You..."
Zhenzi couldn’t out-argue Chen Tianlong, so she simply stopped talking, then directly moved forward, preparing to launch an attack at Chen Tianlong. Chen Tianlong felt a bit frustrated. He had wanted to deceive her and catch her off guard, but now it seemed impossible.
"Beauty, what are you up to? You’re so powerful, you can’t bully me like that." Chen Tianlong initiated his diversion tactics. If hard measures didn’t work, he would go soft, acting like a coward.
Of course, their conversation was very quiet; otherwise, with so many spectators watching their banter, it would be undignified.
"Hmph, I don’t care how strong you are. You’re the one showing off and challenging me. I never considered you a worthy opponent, so don’t blame me for being rude."
Despite what she said, Zhenzi genuinely regarded Chen Tianlong as a show-off coward who resorts to cowardice at crucial moments.
Chen Tianlong inwardly chuckled coldly. He knew his deceptions were working.
Zhenzi restrained her power, ready to launch a second attack on Chen Tianlong. Her aim was evident: to teach him a good lesson, so he wouldn’t dare be so presumptuous in the future.
Chen Tianlong watched Zhenzi charging toward him, chuckling to himself. He knew she wouldn’t make a powerful move this time because he didn’t sense any strong Qi waves.
"Kid, you’re courting death!" Zhenzi shouted softly at Chen Tianlong before swinging a palm at him, but her power was restrained to Yellow Dao Five Star.
"Whizz, whizz..."
At this moment, Chen Tianlong suddenly extended his hands, and four silver needles quickly flew from his hands. Zhenzi was taken aback and hurriedly dodged.
However, Chen Tianlong smirked wickedly. As Zhenzi dodged, he threw more needles, four more shimmering silver needles flying out. This time, newly freed Zhenzi couldn’t escape Chen Tianlong’s attack.
Moreover, because Zhenzi was not exerting much power, the needles pierced through the Golden Bell Divine Skill’s protective layer and embedded into several of Zhenzi’s acupoints without restraint.
Suddenly, Zhenzi’s entire body froze. She was very shocked, never expecting Chen Tianlong to have such a trump card.
In fact, Zhenzi had noticed Chen Tianlong’s needles, but she didn’t expect these few needles to have such power, able to breach her Golden Bell Divine Skill’s defense. What was going on?
Conflicted, Zhenzi still did not forget to break through the blockage of the acupoints. Chen Tianlong’s needles could only temporarily lock Zhenzi’s acupoints. For such a skilled person, Chen Tianlong’s acupoint-sealing was not fully proficient, plus his own power was weak. In less than five seconds, she broke through the blocked acupoints.
But just as Zhenzi broke through the acupoints, Chen Tianlong’s prepared right hand released three Super Strong Qi Silver Needles. These were no ordinary hidden weapons but used a special technique, Soul-Stealing Three Needles.
Because of the earlier interference from the Golden Bell Divine Skill, Chen Tianlong made some adjustments. This time, after overcoming Zhenzi’s Golden Bell Divine Skill defense, his attack would definitely be unforeseen.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
The arena was stunned by the whizzing sound.
