The atmosphere in the hall was strange yet lively.
Everyone was discussing in hushed tones.
Su Jie watched Ronan, who had stepped onto the field, with a cold sneer.
Meanwhile, Wei Wei and Su Xiao looked at Ronan with eyes full of worry and helplessness.
Wang Xiaoman gently bit her finger. "Ronan is really a good person. He's actually sticking up for you, isn't he?"
Christine chuckled softly. "What an interesting fellow. Did I really misjudge him? Does he actually have some skill? Look at how confident he is; he must be quite sure of himself, not just putting on a show."
"Wei Wei, don't worry. Maybe your fiancé can even give you a surprise!"
Wei Wei's face flushed, and she muttered softly, "Stop teasing me. This guy loves to show off."
"I'm not worried about him; I'm just afraid that if he loses, Yi Lin Manor will lose face completely!"
These words, which didn't match her true feelings, made her friends laugh.
Even the most innocent Wang Xiaoman couldn't help but snicker.
"Young Master Ronan, you really don't need to get angry with Su Jie. He's still a child."
In the field, the white man Jason said with a smile, "How about I go talk to them? Let's not make a bet and just go play cards or something elsewhere."
Ronan smiled and declined his kind offer.
He quickly walked over to the sandbag that had been kicked by the three of them, each taking a turn, and looked at the counter on it.
The floor was soft, but very solid. He didn't know what material it was made of.
"Is this the thing?"
He looked back at Su Jie.
Su Jie sneered, "What? Scared? Don't tell me you haven't practiced Side Kick and don't know how to use this instrument—because this thing is too simple. Just put all your strength into your leg and kick the sandbag."
"The number above will naturally give you feedback. Be careful not to break your leg."
After saying that, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. There were also a few low chuckles in the crowd.
However, this was Yi Lin Manor after all, and the people or forces of the Li Family didn't dare to go too far.
Ronan looked at the sandbag and didn't make any preparatory movements like the others.
He just walked over.
Everyone's eyes widened.
Someone swore, "If he gets over 100, I'll eat..."
He couldn't finish his sentence.
They saw Ronan's steady steps. In a few strides, he rushed to the sandbag. Without any warning, he suddenly kicked up!
This kick was completely different from a standard Side Kick posture. It was clear that Ronan had not received any training!
However, the angle was extremely tricky. Ronan's leg turned into a blur at an astonishing speed, and he kicked the sandbag!
Bang—Screech!
Beep beep beep beep! The counter jumped wildly—but no one was paying attention to the numbers jumping on it anymore.
Because something even more terrifying had happened!
Under everyone's stunned gaze, a little iron sand scattered on the spot, while more iron sand, in a flash of lightning, was kicked out along with the sandbag!
Kicked out!
Kicked out!
Kicked out!!!
Everyone was dry-mouthed!
They witnessed with their own eyes how Ronan, with just one kick, broke the iron rope suspending the sandbag!
However, this was not the end!
The heavy sandbag turned into a black shadow and flew backward, crashing into a solid Isolation Wall nearby!
The next second, like a bullet embedded in a cream cake, the entire sandbag was deeply embedded in the middle of that Isolation Wall, which was a full meter thick!
Within three breaths, the Isolation Wall collapsed with a crash!
Rumble! Dust flew everywhere!
The Martial Hall was extremely quiet, only the counter on the upper part of the iron rope was still beeping.
The number repeatedly cycled between [0-999], but it could never stop.
There was only one explanation for this situation!
This Side Kick had a power exceeding 1000!
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Including Wei Wei, including Su Xiao, including Christine, including everyone who was optimistic or not optimistic about Ronan!
Only the heavy breathing of the crowd and their incredulous gazes remained.
Jason, who was closest to Ronan, widened his eyes and kept muttering, "My God..."
Ronan turned around calmly, but felt a little uneasy in his heart: Was that too much force again?
He actually didn't want to create such an exaggerated effect. Just teaching that arrogant kid Su Jie a lesson would have been enough. Because he wasn't familiar with how the equipment in the Martial Hall was designed, he still used a bit of strength. Who knew the result would be so terrifying!
He only used seventy percent of his strength, and the sandbag burst, even taking an Isolation Wall with it...
Su Jie couldn't help but rub his eyes. He kept muttering:
"Holy shit... Holy shit... Holy shit... This... This is too damn fake, isn't it?"
However, reality was cruel!
The sandbag, iron sand, Isolation Wall, and flying dust told him that he hadn't seen wrong.
This bet, Ronan, won completely.
"You, you didn't tell me you knew martial arts."
The first one to react was Wei Wei.
She rushed over excitedly, almost unable to resist giving Ronan a hug.
Ronan scratched his head: "Maybe that sandbag had been kicked by many people before and wasn't sturdy to begin with. I was just lucky, so the effect looks a bit exaggerated."
Wei Wei's face was flushed with excitement, she didn't know what to say!
At this moment, she had no other emotions in her heart, just one word - awesome! Especially seeing Su Jie's face like he had eaten a fly, if she hadn't been concerned about her lady-like image, she would have burst out laughing!
Aren't you very powerful? Don't you look down on the people from Yi Lin Manor? Don't you think Ronan is not worthy of befriending Su Xiao?
This non-standard Side Kick left Su Jie speechless, and the people from Yi Lin Manor vented their anger!
At the same time, a sarcastic voice sounded from the crowd: "The one who said they would eat something if it exceeded 100 just now, come out."
The crowd burst into laughter!
This burst of laughter eased the awkward atmosphere just now. But in the eyes of the crowd looking at Ronan, there was a bit more fear.
Regardless of whether it was as Ronan said, purely due to equipment reasons and good luck, his Side Kick strength was already comparable to that of a close combat expert in the army!
A strong person like Xiang Feihu could probably do it, but being comparable to Xiang Feihu was already a very exaggerated matter in itself!
Especially when the general perception of Ronan among the crowd was still at the stage of being a country bumpkin from a farm, this impact was even more terrifying.
Some people had already secretly concluded that Ronan definitely had a problem, and was definitely a talent carefully cultivated by Earl Will. Although it was unlikely he could compare to Li Nanbei, he was enough to contend with Xiang Feihu!
"Yi Lin Manor is playing a very big game!"
"His Side Kick posture is very non-standard, which means he still has a lot of room for improvement!"
"My God, is this guy really a martial arts expert? Or is he naturally gifted with divine strength?"
Regardless, this kick was enough to completely change the crowd's previous poor impression of Ronan.
In a martial empire, strength was everything!
In a corner of the crowd, Su Xiao's beautiful eyes flickered. On the surface, she remained calm, but inwardly, a storm had already been stirred up!
He's actually so strong!
That's right, no wonder he dared to confront Xiang Feihu head-on that day. I was worried about him for nothing!
He's really a bad guy, clearly having such amazing skills, yet keeping them hidden!
She thought resentfully.
Who knew that at this moment, she suddenly saw Ronan walking towards her.
For some reason, the Su Family's young lady, who had always been calm and composed, suddenly felt a little flustered.
The rumors about her and Ronan from a few days ago flashed before her like a slideshow. Her face involuntarily flushed slightly, and she didn't even notice it herself.
Is he coming to find me? she thought a little narcissistically.
However, she didn't notice that her younger brother's face next to her had already turned pale.
Ronan walked quickly towards him, looking at Su Jie:
"Call me Big Brother."
Su Jie was embarrassed and silent.
Su Xiao woke up, feeling awkward in her heart. She pretended to be calm and looked around. Fortunately, no one noticed her abnormality.
"Sis..." Su Jie sought help from Su Xiao. The latter cleared her throat, wanting to say something, but saw Ronan's determined eyes and immediately understood his intention. At the moment, she could only say softly: "You made a bet with him. We Su Family members, we admit defeat when we lose."
Su Jie immediately wilted like a frosted eggplant, completely deflated.
After a long while, he finally squeezed out a "Big Brother", his voice as thin as a mosquito's buzz.
Ronan glared at him, saying somewhat fiercely, "Are you a woman? Speak up, I can't hear you!"
Everyone secretly snickered. Su Jie was so arrogant, many people had long been annoyed by him.
It was just that the Su Family had a deep background and relied on Xiang Feihu and Li Nanbei, so no one dared to suppress him.
Now that they finally had a Ronan who could actually intimidate this brat, it was truly satisfying!
Su Jie's face turned red. He simply exploded in anger, roaring up at the sky:
"Big—"
"Brother—"
The last syllable echoed throughout the entire venue.
Finally, everyone couldn't hold back and burst into laughter!
