How Could They Lose?

The two teams from Linked Mountains University met in the designated exit passage for the competition participants.

"Congratulations on continuing your undefeated streak. As a fellow member of Linked Mountains University, I am proud of you. I hope you'll go easy on us in tomorrow's match and not let us suffer a humiliating defeat."

Chu Gengyin wore an elegant smile and spoke with utmost sincerity, as if there were no animosity between them.

Ke Chajing was naturally not fooled by him. She snorted and gave him a cold look, her gaze slowly moving over her former teammates before finally settling on two burly men with menacing expressions.

"Chu bastard, are you crazy? You actually recruited these two notorious butcher brothers back into the team? Have you forgotten why they were stripped of their starting positions in the first place?"

Hu Jixian smiled and said, "Even if he forgot, I believe today's match will remind him. Hmm, I think anyone with a sound mind wouldn't make the same mistake again."

The two men were referring to the Wang brothers, who had severely injured their opponent in today's match. Both were bald, nearly 1.9 meters tall, broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, with burly figures. Their arms were thicker than most people's thighs, and they exuded a ferocious aura. Their eyes revealed a cruelty. One had a dragon tattooed on his left arm, and the other had a tiger tattooed on his right arm. They were extremely arrogant and clearly not to be trifled with. Even their teammates from the Martial Arts Club subconsciously kept their distance from the two and did not want to walk with them.

"I wondered who it was, but it's you, Ke. What, after seeing my amazing performance today, you're itching to go on a date with me?" Big Brother Wang Qing revealed a roguish smile and walked towards Ke Chajing.

"Brother, the person she wants is clearly me. Don't try to steal her away; she's your future sister-in-law!"

The younger brother, Wang Ya, took the lead and walked ahead of his older brother Wang Qing.

Hu Jixian instinctively stepped in front of Ke Chajing, and was about to speak when Wang Ya suddenly accelerated and slammed his arm into Hu Jixian's chest, causing him to choke and groan. He stumbled back three times before Ke Chajing caught him in time.

"A good dog doesn't block the way. I thought someone was walking blindly. It turns out to be you, you fox. What, have you forgotten the time I knocked you unconscious with one punch? Do you need me to help you remember?" Wang Ya pretended not to know and revealed a mocking smile.

Hu Jixian slightly opened his eyes, the smile on his face disappeared, and he became serious.

"Oh, is that expression meant to make you bite like a rabbit?" Wang Ya sneered.

Nie Wanzhi had a very good impression of the two seniors and had always received preferential treatment during training. She was furious and immediately stepped forward to scold them, "It was clearly you who couldn't watch where you were going and deliberately used your strength to bump into others, and you still have the nerve to accuse me first."

"Little girl, you've come to the wrong place. This isn't a place for middle schoolers. You should go back and participate in the Junior Martial Dao League," Wang Qing said condescendingly. "You should be glad that your brother isn't into your kind of thing, otherwise you'd be in danger."

"Brother, if you don't like it, give it to me. I'm not picky about looks. Tall beauties have their own charm, and petite girls have their own softness," Wang Ya stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, his gaze sweeping over the group of the Second Martial Arts Club. "Speaking of which, I hadn't really noticed before, but now I suddenly realize there are quite a few beauties here, and each one has her own unique charm... Oh no, I'm getting a little hard. What am I going to do if I run into one tomorrow? I'm too kind to them..."

Before he could finish speaking, a figure suddenly crashed into him. Wang Ya was prepared and was about to slap the person away when the other person's speed far exceeded his expectations. The figure crashed into his arms first, and a tremendous force surged through him, making Wang Ya feel as if he had been hit by a steamroller. He wasn't thrown away, but was slammed to the ground, his buttocks kissing the earth painfully, making his tailbone ache.

"Which bastard—"

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm not watching where I'm going and I bumped into you. Does it hurt? Would you like me to rub it for you?"

Si Ming stood with his hands in his pockets, looking down at Wang Ya who was sitting on the ground, a mocking smile on his face. He was giving Wang Ya a taste of his own medicine.

With his hands in his pockets and not using his arms, he proved that he used a "bump" rather than a "bump," and knocking someone down by bumping is ten times more difficult than knocking someone down. This is a skill that only an expert can see.

The Wang brothers' eyes sharpened, their bodies trembled, and a murderous aura emanated from them, causing everyone around them to take a step back. Even their teammates from the Martial Arts Club changed their expressions, realizing that the two brothers had indeed killed someone.

For ordinary people living their daily lives, encountering a ruthless criminal with murder on their hands would make them hesitant to act even before they could make a move. However, for Si Ming—

"Hmm? What are you two doing, bulging your eyes like goldfish? Oh, I noticed, you both have eye boogers, so dirty! Don't you guys ever pay attention to personal hygiene?"

Si Ming waved his hand dismissively and stepped back, a mocking Fist Intent.

"You brat!"

Enraged, Wang Qing was about to throw a punch.

Chu Gengyin shouted, "Stop! It's not time for a duel yet. Save your fight for tomorrow."

Wang Qing froze, snorted, lowered his hand, and said to Si Ming, "Kid, you've escaped with your life."

Si Ming sighed, spread his hands, and said sarcastically, "Can't you see that the one who's actually eagerly hoping you'll make a move right now is me?"

The Wang brothers were taken aback for a moment, then quickly understood the logic behind it. They showed expressions of fear and simultaneously positioned themselves on the left and right, preparing to launch a pincer attack.

Chu Gengyin, unwilling to escalate the conflict now, quickly said, "Enough. Let's settle all our grudges tomorrow." Then he urged his men to leave.

Ke Chajing suddenly spoke up, "Tomorrow, Hu Jixian and I will be competing in the second doubles match. If you dare, don't try to run away."

Everyone knew who she was challenging, and then the Wang brothers turned around, made a gesture, and said, "Then wash your necks and wait."

Chapter 465 How to Lose

When Chu Gengyin and his group returned to the Martial Arts Club, the Wang brothers still had that arrogant, swaggering attitude, but the others didn't look so good. They even seemed to have formed a clique, excluding the Wang brothers, but the Wang brothers didn't seem to care. Their gazes towards the others were filled with disdain.

Ultimately, no normal person would like the Wang brothers' behavior. They weren't born villains. In terms of closeness, they were closer to Ke Chajing and Hu Jixian, having been teammates for two years. The decision to get rid of the Wang brothers was unanimously agreed upon by everyone. If it weren't for Chairman Chu Gengyin insisting on bringing them back, they would never have accepted being teammates with the Wang brothers.

Thinking of this, many people felt dissatisfied with Chu Gengyin. Although some of them were beneficiaries of the new rules, they would not agree to let them take responsibility for them. In their view, the feud with Ke and Hu was caused by Chu Gengyin alone, but the entire Martial Arts Club should bear the consequences, which was really unfair.

Chu Gengyin, being a perceptive person, immediately noticed the emotions of the crowd, but he remained calm, coughed, and said, "Everyone witnessed today's battle. The Second Martial Arts Club's foundation is truly unfathomable. Even their casually sent substitutes possess strength that is difficult to fathom. Those who were hoping for a lucky break can now put an end to that thought."

Wang Qing said, "I don't care about any of that. My brother and I are going to fight in the second match tomorrow. Others have already issued challenges. If we back out now, we'll be finished in the future."

It seems that Ke and Hu are the two with the clearest strength in the Second Martial Arts Club. As for Hongdou and Yu Shuying who took the stage today, it's hard to tell how high their cultivation level is. And Chen Shimi, is he Chen Shimi True Person or a complete fraud? It's hard to judge either. The only ones who are clearly weaker than Ke and Hu are Hao Shuai, Liu Qingqing, and Nie Wanzhi.

Chu Gengyin nodded and agreed, "I'll arrange for the two of you to play in the second match tomorrow. Also, just to be on the safe side, remember to take this before the match."

He flipped his left hand, revealing several pills, which immediately drew surprised expressions from the other members.

One of the boys couldn't help but say, "President, think it over! If we get caught taking drugs before the competition, our Martial Arts Club's reputation will be completely ruined!"

"As long as it doesn't get detected, that's fine. As long as we activate our Internal Cultivation and accelerate our metabolism during the fight, we can release the medicinal effects. After the fight, they won't be able to find any evidence."

The Wang brothers chuckled, shoved the boy aside, took a pill from Chu Gengyin's palm, popped it into their mouths, and then circulated their internal energy to accelerate its decomposition. Soon, they felt a warm current surge from their lower abdomen, spreading to their limbs and bones, making them not only more energetic but also incredibly comfortable.

"President Chu is indeed a man of great principle. If only you had been president back then, we brothers would have supported you wholeheartedly."

"Fighting is about defeating your opponent by any means necessary. If you create a bunch of rules, isn't that like dancing in shackles?"

Last year, the Wang brothers were removed from the team, not only because of their cruel methods. After all, injuries and deaths are normal in martial arts competitions. Some people's martial arts are more violent and harder to control. Without evidence, no one can say that they intentionally hurt their opponents. If you are afraid of getting hurt when facing such a martial artist, you can simply surrender and admit defeat.
