Little Fatty paused for a moment, then replied very seriously, "I do."

"But I want to live even more."

Xu Yi: "..."

It was all superfluous.

"Zhao Xiao, hurry up 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 no good. Your education doesn't match; we only accept those with associate degrees or lower.

You're all superfluous.

Zhao Xiao hesitated, looking 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 going on stage, Jin Debiao said earnestly, "When you fight later, fight for real... if you really hit him, you won't graduate either."

Zhao Xiao: "???"

"You mean I should act like it's half real and half fake, just to make the young master happy?"

"Still too young. I have experience with this, listen carefully."

"Just going easy on him won't work; the young master will think you're genuinely weak! You need to land a few killing blows at the start, then start going easy, and say things like the young master was deliberately letting me be humble! See, when he gets serious, even professionals can't compete! It's truly an honor to spar with the young master! It's best to shout it loudly so everyone watching can hear. And you need to narrowly win a few moves now and then, while loudly exclaiming that the young master is letting me win again, that he doesn't want me to lose too badly! When you see the young master's stamina failing, deliberately let him land a decisive blow, 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 know. Remember, martial arts isn't just about fighting; it's about social dynamics."

Zhao Xiao showed a look of realization, "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 live stream. Just write 'The Battle of Great Xia's Traditional Martial Arts versus South Korea's Taekwondo'."

Bingbing knew how to pick titles.

When topics with such conflict arose, many netizens were immediately drawn in.

Looking at the positioning of the two in the live stream, it truly resembled a duel between masters.

Their interest was instantly piqued.

The number of viewers in the live stream surged.

[I bet ten yuan, Taekwondo will definitely lose.]

[Why?]

[I was hit by a Taekwondo practitioner, and they extorted tens of thousands from me in compensation.]

[I think Taekwondo can win. I watched a TV show before, the person was called Bai Cao, and their kicks were fierce. They even did a whirlwind triple kick.]

[Isn't traditional martial arts for strengthening the body? The old people 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 debated endlessly, the match began.

Zhao Xiao repeatedly muttered the words his coach had just taught him: initial killing blow, then go easy.

My front kick!

And then... there was no then.

Xu Yi moved quickly. After striking two pressure points on Zhao Xiao with his fists, Zhao Xiao fell straight to the ground.

[Negative Emotion Points +100]

Everyone was stunned by this outcome.

[Holy crap, what kind of fix is this?]

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

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

[I'll pay 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, full of disappointment, "Zhao Xiao, you missed your chance to join the department."

"Acting 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 give me that dying act."

Zhao Xiao's head swayed from the slap, "Coach, I haven't even started acting yet. This young master is really strong! I didn't even react before I was 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: "Brother, did they go easy on us?"

Xu Yi: "Easy on us 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 he had to fight another round.

These 2500 would definitely make the boss feel like they got their money's worth.

Xu Yi: "Let's have another one, the previous one... was too weak."

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

"Coach~ I have a lot of fat, so 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, he was leading the charge.

That kind of drive was very similar to him in his younger days.

Little Jin, you couldn't block my leg techniques just now, but you must take on the responsibility from now on.

Amidst the netizens' outcry, Jin Wang made his appearance.

As soon as he stepped onto the stage, he launched into a series of flashy leg techniques.

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

[I wish my girlfriend had this much flexibility.]

[LMAO. 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 steps constantly shifting, controlling his own 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 kick, then a whirlwind kick, then a whip kick. I'll KO you in three moves."

Coach Jin nodded with satisfaction, "Good. Talking big before the match. Zhao Xiao, learn from this, this is how you do it."

Jin Wang also glanced at Zhao Xiao.

Zhao Xiao, you can't even act.

The match begins~

I'll do a downward kick!

However, Xu Yi was faster. Before he 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 and aimed for his nose.

"Is this... a feint kick?!"

Damn it, you really know your stuff.

Xu Yi blinked, seemingly realizing something.

No, I need to defeat him with 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 gravel!

The netizens started discussing again.

[Something's not right, this traditional martial arts fighter actually has some skill.]

[The broken sword sang a poem!]

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

[He practiced some martial arts, but there's no way he could defeat them in three moves. It's a bit fake.]

[Refund! Refund! Damn it, refund!]

[A staged match! You've completely disgraced yourselves, Chuanshu.]

"Teach me~~ Teach me~~ Teach me~ My body feels like it's going to split open~~ Teach me~ I feel like I'm in so much pain I could fly~~"

Why are they all pulling these stunts?

Jin Debiao sighed. He was teaching them seriously, but his students didn't seem to have much talent.

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

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."
