Chapter 962: Getting Challenged Incident
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
In the spring semester, the university’s start date was generally around February 25th. There were no lectures yet, but some graduate students and Ph.D. students who had projects had already returned to school in advance. Hence, the university did not seem deserted at all.
Of course, there were still some young couples in love who missed each other, so they all returned to the school early. They would take the opportunity to date for a while before they had cla.s.ses.
This, of course, applied to students living out of town. For Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan, this wasn’t necessary.
Yang Ming’s car had a campus pa.s.s, so he could drive inside directly. In the beginning, his first pa.s.s was given by Liu Weishan and placed on Zhang Bing’s car. Later, when the certificate was changed at the end of the year, it was registered by Yang Ming himself. It turned out that it was necessary to pay two hundred yuan for a pa.s.s.
At first, Yang Ming thought it was free. Now, as Yang Ming recalled it, Liu Weishan was really good to him. At that time, he didn’t recognize Yang Ming as his G.o.dson yet. Yang Ming just rented Liu Weishan’s house. Not only did Liu Weishan not ask for rent, but Liu Weishan also used his money to register for the pa.s.s and door access card for Yang Ming.
As he remembered this, Yang Ming really felt grateful. It could be said that Yang Ming met benefactors nonstop. Only then could he achieve the present success.
“What happened in front?” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan pointed ahead.
The car just entered the campus alley, but they suddenly found out that the road ahead was blocked by a group of people. These people were students surrounding and watching something. Yang Ming and the others were at a distance, so they couldn’t see what happened in front of them.
Of course, Yang Ming could use his special ability to find out what it was. However, if he used his special ability on such a trivial thing, it would be a bit of a fuss. Yang Ming didn’t want to be a person who relied on his special ability for everything.
So the car was parked aside. The five people got off and went to see what happened.
“Could it be a gang fight?” asked Li Dagang casually.
“It shouldn’t be.” Yang Ming shook his head. Having a large scale gang fight in university? It was simply a joke. On the next day, those who should be expelled or demerited will suffer accordingly.
As the five of them just stepped forward, a boy in sportswear came over and gave flyers to them.
Yang Ming and the others took the flyer and looked at it. It turned out that this was the matter. A while ago, a Thai boxing champion said that Chinese Kung Fu was worthless. He could defeat Chinese martial arts with absolute superiority on the stage. Just after this news was published, Song Jiang Industry University received a notice of a martial arts invitation from a university in Thailand. The campus boxing team of a Thailand university was preparing to travel to Song Jiang City. Hence, they sent a duel invitation to the local first-ranked Song Jiang Industry University. The tone of the wording was extremely arrogant.
Yang Ming read the matter on this leaflet, and he was somewhat helpless. If he said that the boxing champion was arrogant, he also had the capability to be arrogant. For the time being, there was no comment on whether the challenger would win.
However, it was just a simple university Thai Boxing Club, yet they acted so arrogantly. They took advantage of their trip to make a challenge. It would be weird if it didn’t provoke the anger of these students.
The leaflet was distributed by the university’s martial arts club. This martial arts club had been established for a long time. However, most of the members who joined the club wanted to promote their physical fitness. Few people wanted to use Kung Fu to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion.
After receiving the duel invitation, the person in charge of the martial arts club was very anxious. This was related to the reputation of the whole university. If he refused the challenge, then not only would it tarnish the face of the school leader, but it will also be the end of the person in charge of the club.
Moreover, what would people from other schools think of them? But to get those in the club to partic.i.p.ate in the duel, he himself felt that there was no chance of winning. After all, since the opponent dared to challenge, they naturally had some capability. It was impossible for them to come here to be defeated.
Therefore, it couldn’t be helped. The head of the club, President w.a.n.g, could only mobilize the students of the whole university. He hoped to grow the momentum. It was best to let some of the capable students sign up.
Although President w.a.n.g also had the intention to attempt, many web novels had also written about martial arts masters on campus, special ability masters on campus, and a.s.sa.s.sins or special forces who retired on campus… Anyway, when President w.a.n.g had nothing to do, he liked to read some online YY novels [1]. Hence, at this moment, he placed his hopes on the masters hidden on the campus.
However, the propaganda went along for a few days, and yet no one had signed up. After all, the students were just feeling angry. Many people had never learned martial arts. Even the martial arts club wasn’t sure they would be able to win, let alone the others.
Therefore, everyone was full of support, but no one made an attempt. Even those who wanted to attend, President w.a.n.g wouldn’t easily agree that they would go into battle. If they knew nothing and were merely hot-blooded, they would just get beaten up, right?
Yang Ming smiled bitterly twice. For such a common challenge, as long as you ignore them, what could they do? They couldn’t just come and stir up trouble, right? They were obviously prepared. How could Song Jiang Industry University be their opponent?
However, what he didn’t expect was that after w.a.n.g Xiaoyan saw the flyer, she went to the registration booth and said, “I want to sign up.”
The girl who was responsible for the registration was Zheng Minghua. She was also a martial arts club member. The Thai Boxing Club of a university in Thailand invited both men and women to partic.i.p.ate, but the martial arts club only had one girl. None of the boys came here to register, let alone girls.
To put it bluntly, Zheng Minghua had to partic.i.p.ate in the battle in the end. However, she was not afraid. If she didn’t win, she wouldn’t easily admit defeat. She would need to lose with honor.
As she was deep in her thoughts, she heard someone come to sign up. It was even a girl! Zheng Minghua was surprised all of a sudden. When she looked up, she saw a pet.i.te girl standing in front of her. She asked with some doubts, “Do you want to register?”
w.a.n.g Xiaoyan nodded and said, “Yes.”
Zheng Minghua initially thought that the girl who registered had at least a tall and st.u.r.dy figure, but she did not expect w.a.n.g Xiaoyan to be so pet.i.te. How could this work? So, she quickly said, “This duel is very dangerous. You…”
“No problem.” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan smiled and said, “My name is w.a.n.g Xiaoyan from the history department of the school’s eastern district.”
” Ah …” Zheng Minghua saw w.a.n.g Xiaoyan’s very certain expression, and she found it inappropriate to comment further. So, she gave w.a.n.g Xiaoyan a form to fill out.
Yang Ming saw that w.a.n.g Xiaoyan rushed to sign up without a word. He was shocked all of a sudden and helpless at the same time. Yang Ming could only follow her. However, when Yang Ming just reached there, many people immediately recognized him.
Most of these onlookers were also martial arts enthusiasts. The battle between Yang Ming and the two presidents of the Taekwondo Club, Liu Jiadong and Li Jiasheng, were still vivid in these people’s minds. Hence, when they saw Yang Ming, they cheered immediately, “Isn’t this Yang Ming? Yang Ming came. We don’t need to be afraid of that Thai Boxing Cub!”
“Of course, Yang Ming dealt with the Taekwondo Club. Why does he need to afraid of the Thai Boxing Club!?”
“Support Yang Ming. Cheer for Yang Ming!”
Yang Ming didn’t think that he was actually so popular. It was a matter from a few months ago. There were still people who remember it! When President w.a.n.g heard the shouting, he ran over. When Yang Ming smashed the Taekwondo Club, President w.a.n.g was present. Hence, Yang Ming was like a savior to him. He quickly said, “Yang Ming, this time, you must sign up and join us to fight for our Song Jiang Industry University’s honor!”
How can you force me like a duck driven onto a perch [2]? Yang Ming was dumbfounded. He didn’t want to partic.i.p.ate in this matter at first, because, in Yang Ming’s opinion, it was nothing more than a farce. Thai Boxing Club of that university probably became overconfident from the words of the boxing champion, thinking that they were the King of Boxing. Hence, they came to challenge. They didn’t know that it was no different from the parrot [3].
Most probably when things were serious, Yang Ming could sneak up to the hotel where the Thai Boxing Club stayed, and cripple their partic.i.p.ants. Hence, rendering them unable to partic.i.p.ate the next day.
But now, w.a.n.g Xiaoyan had already signed up. In this situation, Yang Ming couldn’t really refuse. After all, seeing the eyes of the students who were filled with delight and antic.i.p.ation, Yang Ming was reluctant to disappoint them. Hence, he said, “Okay, then I will sign up, but I can’t guarantee that I can win.”
“Great! I am relieved if you can partic.i.p.ate. If you can’t win, then others can be helped!” When President w.a.n.g saw that Yang Ming agreed, he was very excited.
“When is the duel?” asked Yang Ming.
“It is about March 15th. Why? What’s the problem?” President w.a.n.g asked, “In terms of time, we can negotiate. We can make special requests.”
“It’s fine. March 15th it is.” Yang Ming shook his head. It was alright as long as it wasn’t today. He still had other things to do today.
Yang Ming casually filled out an entry form and left in a group of cheers with w.a.n.g Xiaoyan. Originally, Yang Ming’s interest was not great. He couldn’t be helped. He was forced to sign up.
He was just a bit curious. Why did w.a.n.g Xiaoyan take the initiative to sign up? Hence, he asked, “Why did you sign up?”
“Nothing. I have some personal grievances with the person named Li Lexin. It just so happens that there is a chance to settle the score.” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan said as she pointed at the partic.i.p.ant list from the Thailand university in the flyer.
” Ah ?” Yang Ming didn’t expect w.a.n.g Xiaoyan to sign up because of this. He thought her reason was for the honor of the school. “What did this person do?”
“She is also an a.s.sa.s.sin.” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan didn’t hide from Yang Ming. “She used to ruin my business, so I remember this person very clearly. Although her name is different, I am sure that it is her.”
There were photos and introductions on the contestant’s information. Yang Ming looked at the woman named Li Lexin. She appeared very ordinary; there was nothing special about her. Yang Ming didn’t expect her to be related to a.s.sa.s.sins.
“D*mn, then what do I have to do with it?” Yang Ming sighed with some regrets. “If I knew this earlier, I would not have signed up.”
“Maybe the others are also in the same group as her. You can help me kill them together,” said w.a.n.g Xiaoyan.
