This One Isn't Even Pretending Anymore

"Heh, he can't out-act me," Jin Debiao said, full of confidence.

His students' acting was too green, but he was a veteran actor.

There definitely wouldn't be a repeat of that embarrassing scene where he got kicked away.

He had a feeling he and the young master would go back and forth.

Eventually, when both sides were exhausted, he would narrowly lose.

From then on, he would gain the young master's admiration.

"But Coach!" Jin Wang called out to him from behind.

"Hm?"

"But this is a live broadcast. If you lose again, Taekwondo will really become a laughingstock. Didn't you used to love Taekwondo the most? Didn't you treat it like your life?"

Jin Debiao's expression softened, his brow furrowed as if in thought and remembrance.

"Yes, but that was before."

"But... but isn't Taekwondo your dream? Isn't your dream to promote it? Don't you remember why you started learning Taekwondo, Coach?"

Jin Debiao stopped, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"My dream? Perhaps I forgot it long ago."

"Reality beat all my initial passion out of me."

"Yeah, I lost that long ago," Jin Debiao chuckled self-deprecatingly. Those were some passionate lines just now, they really got me worked up.

Jin Wang's expression brightened, "Then Coach, you're not going to act anymore?"

"Mm, I plan to enrich my dream and my original passion, and improve upon them."

This is my moment!

Jin Wang clenched his fists tightly, "Then what is your dream now?"

"To have Taekwondo promote me. First step, curry favor with the young master."

Jin Wang: "???" So everything I just said was pointless, huh?

"What's a dream worth? Don't be so naive, kid."

"Coach, I... I'm going in."

Bingbing and the others perked up again. They had been filming for so long, they were just yawning.

The viewers started discussing again.

[They've acted for two rounds, they shouldn't be acting this round, right.]

[I heard this is a coach, and he's participated in various international competitions. He definitely wouldn't be acting.]

[It's about his reputation, he definitely won't act!]

[Everyone thinks Taekwondo is acting? Clearly, Xu Yi is just very strong. As expected, amateurs watch the show, but insiders see the skill.]

As a veteran actor, Jin Debiao exuded the demeanor of a master the moment he stepped onto the stage.

Not a single trash talk, his eyes were sharp, and his fighting stance hid a killing intent.

The highest level of flattery is when you can't tell the other person is flattering you, but they always hit the exact spot that makes you ecstatic.

Fight!

Jin Debiao unleashed his killing moves right from the start, just like he taught his students.

He held nothing back; he was a good coach.

Xu Yi nodded. This was indeed much better than the previous two "lung-breathers."

But they were still "lung-breathers."

Every one of his kicks, though seemingly fierce, was full of openings in the eyes of the combat master Xu Yi.

Finally, Xu Yi found an opening and used Tai Chi Quan's "Wild Horse Parts Its Mane" to push him away.

Another "Cloud Hands" sent him flying.

Jin Debiao felt an irresistible, immense force hit him. When he came to his senses, he was already in the air.

My right kick!

Jin Debiao flew out.

The viewers collectively rolled their eyes.

"Damn, this guy's even more outrageous, he's not even pretending anymore."

"Pretending? I'm a complete layman, and I could see it clearly. That was pure Tai Chi Quan dealing actual damage."

"If you think it was staged, watch the slow-motion replay."

"Can't say it was staged, just that he's way too bad."

"This guy's the epitome of a noob."

Jin Debiao, you absolute noob!

Jin Debiao: "Didn't have the right feel in the last round."

Jin Debiao had been lying on the ground for a long time, but he was still completely bewildered.

Wait, this young master can actually fight?

He didn't even give them a chance to fake it?

His path as a seasoned actor was cut short before it even began.

"Teach Nian~~"

"Don't call me Teach Nian, I don't deserve it!"

At this moment, Jin Debiao finally realized...

He and He Chen... no, he and the young master weren't just different in background, but also in strength.

What to do when you suddenly realize you're so useless?

Just boil a kettle of water, so there's at least one other boiling thing in the room besides yourself.

Little Fatty was equally shocked at this moment.

The reason the viewers suspected it was staged was the exaggerated movements, and another reason was the unclear camera angles.

They couldn't see the details of the fight.

But Little Fatty had witnessed the entire thing.

It was like filming an action movie.

"Bro, bro, you really know how to do it!"

Xu Yi nodded, "Remember, Chinese style is the coolest."

"How was it? Was the money well spent?"

"Worth it, totally worth it!"

Beep, WeChat transfer of 2,500 yuan.

I salute you, Sid.

Lily, who had been watching from the side for a long time, got up with trembling legs.

So strong, so incredibly strong!

Xu Yi had deeply conquered her.

Her preference was for guys with strong combat power.

This is a real MAN! Kids~

Lily cautiously walked up to Xu Yi, "Can I get to know you?"

Little Fatty's expression changed.

Xu Yi: "Sip sip sip sip..."

"Huh?"

"Why isn't the bitch wagging her tail?"

[Negative Emotion Points +200]

Get lost, bitch.

The three young actors, Jin Debiao, pushed Lily aside and came before Xu Yi.

"Bro, is this really Traditional Martial Arts?"

"It's wrapped."

Jin Wang immediately bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have insulted Traditional Martial Arts. I'm a noob."

Jin Debiao: "Can I ask you something?"

"Then let me ask you a question first. Do you know what Confucius said to his 3,001 disciples?"

"What?"

"'No more students.'"

[Negative Emotion Points +200]

The Principal happily walked up to Xu Yi, "Xiao Yi, I didn't expect you to be such a good fighter!"

Xu Yi's smile vanished from his face, replaced by extreme grief.

"My father told me all this before he sacrificed himself. Principal, I think I miss my father, who earned a First-Class Merit, my brother, who also earned a First-Class Merit, and my mother, the Angel Against the Current."

The Principal's scalp tingled all over.

"From now on, tell the Principal about anything that happens, and I'll definitely resolve it for you."

"Then what about this Taekwondo Club...?"

All the members of the Taekwondo Club looked expectantly at the Principal and Xu Yi.

Brother, please be merciful.

You've beaten up both the big and the small ones anyway, you should be over it by now.

Xu Yi waved his hand, not in refusal, but because no further words were needed.

"Principal, I miss my father again..."

"The Taekwondo Club is canceled from now on. If they can't even beat a cultural student, what's the point of keeping them?" the Principal snorted coldly.

One sentence decided the fate of the club.

All the members were utterly dejected.

Jin Debiao was like a walking corpse; he felt as if his life had lost all hope and meaning.

After all, the coach position was genuinely lucrative.

It brought in money faster than competitions.

"Coach~~ I'm not willing to accept this!" Jin Wang said fiercely.

"I'm not willing to accept this either."

"Then why don't we...?" Jin Wang's eyes glinted with murderous intent as he spoke.

"Why don't we go work in a factory tightening screws instead."
