Coach Nian~ I'm About to Break

Little Fatty blinked, then replied with utmost seriousness, "I do."

"But I want to live more."

Xu Yi: "..."

All those words were unnecessary.

"Zhao Xiao, hurry and spar. General Xu Yi has been waiting for your flying kick for a long time."

Brother, I'm graduating soon, are there still spots in the autumn recruitment?

You're not good enough. Your education doesn't match; we only accept those with less than a junior college degree.

You're all redundant.

Zhao Xiao looked hesitantly at Jin Debiao, then at the Principal.

"Coach, should I agree?"

"Principal, should he agree?"

"Xu Yi, is he agreeing or not?"

Xu Yi: "I'm serious, tell him to agree."

"Alright."

Before stepping onto the stage, Jin Debiao said earnestly, "When you fight later, fight for real... if you really hit him, you won't graduate either."

Zhao Xiao: "???"

"Are you saying I should act, half-real and half-fake, to please the young master?"

"You're still too young. I have experience with this, listen carefully."

"Just feeding him moves won't work; the young master will think you're genuinely bad! You need to land a few decisive blows at the start, then start going easy, and say things like 'the young master was deliberately letting me be humble just now,' 'look, when he gets serious, even professionals like us can't match him!' 'It's truly an honor to spar with the young master!' It's best to shout these things loudly so the bystanders can hear. And you need to narrowly win a few moves occasionally, while loudly proclaiming 'the young master is letting me win again, he doesn't want me to lose too badly!' When you see the young master is tiring, deliberately let him land a big hit, and quickly say you're exhausted and want to concede."

Zhao Xiao listened, stunned.

"Coach, how do you know so much?"

"It's just a bit of experience. You should learn; there's a lot to it. Remember, martial arts aren't just about fighting; it's about social dynamics."

Zhao Xiao's expression became enlightened. "Okay, it's time to test my acting skills."

Go Zhao Xiao, you got this.

Bingbing was also intrigued and focused her camera on the two in the training hall.

"Quick, come up with a title for this episode's livestream. Just write 'The Battle of Great Xia's Traditional Martial Arts vs. South Korea's Taekwondo'."

Bingbing was good at coming up with titles.

As soon as this kind of controversial topic was brought up, many netizens were drawn in.

Looking at the two people's stances in the livestream, it truly resembled a duel between masters.

Their interest was immediately piqued.

The number of viewers in the livestream skyrocketed.

[I bet ten bucks, Taekwondo will lose.]

[Why?]

[I was scammed by Taekwondo once, and they made me pay tens of thousands.]

[I think Taekwondo will win. I watched a TV show before, the character was called Bai Cao, and she kicked incredibly fiercely. She even did a whirlwind triple kick.]

[Isn't Traditional Martial Arts for strengthening the body? The old folks downstairs practice Tai Chi every day.]

[New netizens, you probably don't know how good Xu Yi is at fighting? That Taekwondo guy is definitely losing.]

As the netizens argued endlessly, the match began.

Zhao Xiao repeatedly muttered the coach's words, first with killer moves, then going easy.

My left front kick!

And then... there was no then.

Xu Yi's movements were swift. After striking two acupoints on Zhao Xiao with a punch and a kick, Zhao Xiao fell straight to the ground.

[Negative Emotion Points +100]

Everyone was stunned by this outcome.

[Holy crap, what is this if not a fix?]

[Those two light hits, and the Taekwondo guy is down? He's too weak.]

[Are you not satisfied with the money they gave you? Your acting is so bad.]

[I'll do it for half the price, and I guarantee I can act better than him.]

[Scram, you losers! The current work environment is ruined by you losers.]

Coach Jin sighed, filled with regret, "Zhao Xiao, you missed your chance to join the department."

"This act is so fake, the young master won't be happy."

Zhao Xiao groaned in pain, "Coach~ Coach~ Ah, Coach~~ I feel like I'm about to tear apart, Coach~~~"

"Shut up! Don't pull that stunt on me."

Zhao Xiao's head shook violently from the slap, "Coach, I haven't even started acting yet. This young master can really fight! Before I could even react, I was already on the ground."

"Your acting is pretty good now, what were you doing before?"

"No, I really wasn't acting."

But unfortunately, no matter how Zhao Xiao explained, no one believed him.

Little Fatty: "Bro, were they going easy on us?"

Xu Yi: "Going easy my ass, it's clearly because I'm too strong."

Seeing the suspicious looks from Little Fatty, the Principal, and even Bingbing, Xu Yi felt the need to fight another round.

These 2500 [currency unit, likely referring to a fee or prize money] would definitely make the boss feel like it was worth every penny.

Xu Yi: "Let another one come up, the last one... was too weak."

"Coach~~ Let me go, I'm a great actor."

"Coach~ I have a lot of fat, it won't hurt the young master's hands when he hits me, let me go instead."

Jin Wang pondered for a moment, "Coach, I should go."

Jin Debiao looked at the eager eyes of everyone wanting to join the club and couldn't help but show a satisfied expression.

Especially the club president, who took the lead.

That momentum was just like his own back in the day.

Little Jin, you couldn't block my leg techniques just now, but you must carry the burden from here on out.

Amidst the netizens' outcry, Jin Wang entered the stage.

As soon as he got on stage, he unleashed a set of flashy leg techniques.

[Wow, so cool! His flexibility is amazing for a guy.]

[I wish my girlfriend had this much flexibility.]

[Hilarious. What's the use of this kind of leg technique, looks good but is useless.]

[He hasn't even started fighting and his leg is already cramping.]

[I heard from someone in the know that the club president is fighting this time. He probably won't go easy, right?]

Jin Wang's eyes were sharp, his feet constantly moving, controlling his rhythm.

First a killing blow... then go easy!

"Young... Xu Yi, I won't go easy on you like Zhao Xiao. Next, I'll do a downward chop kick, then a whirlwind kick, then a whip kick. I'll KO you in three moves."

Coach Jin nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad. Talking big before the match. Zhao Xiao, learn from this, they're all professionals."

Jin Wang also glanced at Zhao Xiao.

Zhao Xiao, you can't even act.

The match begins~

Here comes my downward chop kick!

However, Xu Yi was faster. Before Jin Wang could even see clearly, the sole of Xu Yi's shoe was already in front of him.

Jin Wang's pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly blocked with his hands.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yi's calf twisted strangely, aiming for his nose.

"Is this... a change of direction kick?!"

Damn it, you really know how to do it.

Xu Yi blinked, seemingly realizing something.

No, I need to defeat him using Traditional Martial Arts.

Xu Yi abruptly retracted his foot and unleashed a set of fierce Xing Yi Quan.

Bang~

In just three rounds, Jin Wang, bruised and swollen, was sent flying.

[Negative Emotion Points +200]

This newly paved cement road is so smooth.

What does that mean?

No pebbles!

The netizens started discussing again.

[Something's not right, this Traditional Martial Arts fighter actually has some skill.]

[He's a poet, he's performing! This is amazing!]

[Great! He's a poet, we're saved.]

[He's practiced some Traditional Martial Arts, but there's no way he could defeat someone in three moves. It's a bit fake.]

[Refund, refund! Damn it, refund!]

[You're openly faking matches, you've completely disgraced Traditional Martial Arts.]

"Coach~~ Coach~~ Coach~ My body feels like it's going to split open~~ Coach~ I feel like I'm going to fly from the pain~~"

Why are they all doing this ridiculous act?

Jin Debiao sighed. He taught diligently, but his students just didn't seem to have much talent.

As expected, the acting industry is too deep for you to handle. Let Uncle handle it.

Jin Wang grabbed his hand, "Coach, don't take him lightly. He's genuinely skilled, very powerful! I don't think he's any weaker than you."
