Mei Zhenxing's expression suddenly changed. Was this bastard that impatient?
He brought people to his door first thing in the morning. Did he really think he was made of clay?
Even a clay Buddha has a temper!
"You mangy dog, don't be so arrogant. So what if we have a fight?"
"I, Mei Zhenxing, have never cowered, nor do I fear anyone!"
"You're being so aggressive, did you bring the land deed?"
A middle-aged man, slightly overweight, held up a document bag, looking incredibly arrogant.
"Take a good look, this is a property I own in the city center."
"If you win, it's yours. If you lose, this martial arts school is mine!"
"According to the rules, we fight three matches today, best of three."
Looking at the utterly arrogant Lai Pinggao, Mei Zhenxing gritted his teeth, his eyes fixed on him. An intangible rage erupted in his chest.
A month ago, Lai Pinggao had opened a martial arts school on the same street, but its location was more remote. It didn't have as good a location as his, and naturally, business wasn't as good.
Lai Pinggao was envious and came to his door, wanting to acquire his martial arts school.
How could Mei Zhenxing agree?
This was his livelihood, and the source of survival for his family.
After Lai Pinggao approached him several times and was refused, he proposed this wagered battle.
There was an unwritten rule in the martial arts community: once someone challenged you, you had to accept.
Otherwise, you would be ridiculed by your peers and would have no face to continue in the industry.
"Very well, I hope you won't regret crying later!"
Mei Zhenxing looked at Hua Qiang and lowered his voice, his expression begging, "Coach Hua, I might need your help today. I hope you can step in and save my Zhenxing Martial Arts School."
Hua Qiang also found Lai Pinggao unpleasant. He was too overbearing.
It reminded him of how he used to be bullied in the past?
He immediately smiled and nodded.
"Master Mei, rest assured, with me here, no one will get away with anything easily!"
With Hua Qiang's assurance, Mei Zhenxing's heart was completely put at ease.
With such a powerful person on his side, what was there to fear?
The students who were training at the moment stopped their movements and moved aside, leaving a large open space in the middle.
Mei Zhenxing and Lai Pinggao signed their names on a wager agreement and pressed their fingerprints.
"Hehehe, Old Mei, I didn't expect you to be so tough. I thought you'd be like a turtle, hiding and not daring to accept the challenge! Very good!"
"If I win today, I can hire you as a coach for my martial arts school. Of course, if you don't want to do such strenuous work, you can just guard the door.
At the very least, sweeping the toilets, I can give you 2,000 yuan a month. Your family won't starve to death, hahaha!"
Lai Pinggao became more excited as he spoke, letting out a burst of laughter.
"Mangy dog, I hope you won't be crying later!" Mei Zhenxing sneered.
"Hmph! What's the point of just using your mouth? Let's begin!"
"Master Huang, you'll go first for the first match. I hope you can get us off to a good start!"
A burly man walked out from the crowd behind him.
A powerful oppressive aura emanated from him, causing those around him to involuntarily take two steps back.
Peak Martial Artist!
Mei Zhenxing's brows furrowed tightly, his expression solemn.
In his martial arts school, besides himself, only one other person was at the same level as this burly man. His other two coaches were no match at all.
He glanced at Hua Qiang and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, his daughter was capable and brought this great figure here. Otherwise, his martial arts school would truly be lost this time.
Huang You stepped forward, showing Mei Zhenxing a ferocious smile.
"Who's going up first? If anyone wants to come up and die, hurry up. I don't have time to waste with you!"
This person was also arrogant.
"Coach Hua, I'll take the first match. I'll be counting on you later."
Hua Qiang nodded, "Go fight with confidence, leave the rest to me!"
Seeing the calm and composed Hua Qiang, Mei Ting's eyes flashed with a peculiar emotion.
She was only 25 years old this year, still an unmarried young lady.
Hua Qiang's appearance alone could captivate thousands of girls, not to mention his powerful martial arts skills. How could she not be moved?
Besides, she was confident in her own good looks.
Ye Bingxue looked at Mei Ting's expression, her delicate brows furrowed, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
She's trying to steal my man, as if!
Looks like I need to keep a closer eye on this blockhead from now on, or who knows when he'll do something unfaithful behind my back.
At this moment, Mei Zhenxing had already taken off his outer robe, revealing the close-fitting clothes underneath. It seemed he had been ready to fight for a while.
Can't find the book by searching the title, maybe try searching for the author. They might have just changed their name!
Huang You rubbed his hands together, making a cracking sound from his knuckles. Then, he stomped his foot on the ground and charged at Mei Zhenxing like a leopard.
"Good!"
Mei Zhenxing let out a loud shout, swinging his fists and clashing with Huang You's.
With a loud bang, both men staggered back a few steps.
Mei Zhenxing's brows were tightly knit, his expression gloomy.
This big guy had immense strength, and even he, who excelled in hand-to-hand combat, couldn't gain an advantage.
The first move was evenly matched, with neither gaining the upper hand.
Then, they charged at each other again, trading blows, fighting fiercely.
They both landed hits during the exchange, but none were serious. Half an hour later, Mei Zhenxing failed to dodge in time and was hit in the chest by Huang You's punch, sending him flying backward.
He struggled to get up from the ground, coughed a few times, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and tried to continue fighting.
Huang You curled his lips and sneered, "Master Mei, don't force yourself. You're no match for me. Let someone else go. You've lost this round!"
"I haven't lost, I can still fight!"
Mei Zhenxing clutched his chest, his words defiant, his eyes filled with anger and unwillingness.
"Dad, how are you?" Mei Ting asked anxiously from the side, her eyes reddening.
She saw the bloodstain at the corner of her father's mouth; he was clearly injured.
"I'm fine!"
Mei Zhenxing forced a smile to comfort her.
"Brother, this old man looks like he's in trouble."
Hua Qiang nodded. "The outcome is decided. This old man isn't his opponent."
"Although they are at the same cultivation level, the opponent is young and strong, while Old Mei is frail. I wonder what he did last night?"
Hua Qiang muttered softly to himself.
Ye Bingxue raised her small fist and playfully punched Hua Qiang's chest twice.
She spat, "You're so indecent!"
The situation on the field became clear. Mei Zhenxing gritted his teeth and fought again, but after just a few moves, he was kicked down to the ground by Huang You, who even followed up with another kick, sending him sliding more than ten meters.
"Dad!"
Mei Ting rushed over and helped Mei Zhenxing to sit up.
"Dad, stop fighting. Let's forfeit this match, okay?"
Mei Zhenxing was extremely unwilling but helpless. He truly wasn't a match for his opponent!
"We forfeit this round!"
Seeing Mei Zhenxing remain silent, Mei Ting decisively declared.
Hahahaha!
Lai Pinggao burst into another bout of hearty laughter.
"Old Mei, why bother? You have to get beaten up before you hand over the martial arts school. You're just asking for it!"
"You're old and can't fight anymore. If you know what's good for you, go back home and retire. Fighting and killing is for the young!"
"This martial arts school belongs to me now!"
"Listen up, all you apprentices here! From now on, Zhenxing Martial Arts School will be renamed. I've already chosen a name: [Old Lai Martial Arts School]. You will all study at my school from now on!"
This scoundrel was perhaps too excited, treating Zhenxing Martial Arts School as his spoils of war and already making plans.
"Scoundrel, it's best two out of three, and we've only had one match. What victory are you talking about?" Mei Zhenxing said angrily.
Lai Pinggao turned around and looked at Mei Zhenxing.
"Your combat strength is the strongest here, and you've lost. Do you think there's any need to fight further?"
"Heh, who says my combat strength is the strongest? The guardian of my martial arts school hasn't even made a move yet. You're celebrating too early!"
"What? You have someone even stronger in your martial arts school? Who is it? How come I don't know?"
Lai Pinggao's expression changed, and his voice became a little flustered.
However, he quickly calmed down.
The strongest person he brought this time wasn't Huang You, but his nephew, who had already advanced to Martial Master.
"Since that's the case, bring out your last resort!
Let me see, what makes him think he can still win this bet?"
Hua Qiang couldn't stand watching any longer. He stepped forward, entering the arena.
"Stop screaming, what are you yelling about? Your dad is right here!"
"You bastard! You're nothing but a brat, how dare you insult me with such arrogant words! Kid, I'll make sure you die a very rhythmic death later!"
"Master Huang, teach him a serious lesson!"
"Alright, kid, let this old man teach you how to behave!"
