Awkward Victory (1)

Seeing Pei Shao's eyes fixed on her chest, Dongfang Yinyin did not know whether it was because of her insecurity, but her pretty face instantly flushed crimson. She shoved Pei Shao away and covered her chest as she shouted indignantly, "Y-you... what kind of move was that? You filthy hooligan!"

"I... this...! Damn it, Mr. Castle, are you trying to get me killed?" Pei Shao hurriedly complained to Castle.

Castle's tone carried a trace of grievance as well. "My instruction was forty-five degrees, but you only managed forty-four and a half!"

"Seriously?!" Pei Shao was speechless. Just as he was about to say something to Dongfang Yinyin, she moved first, launching another lightning-fast punch.

"You actually dared to take advantage of me! Let's see how you dodge this time!" Dongfang Yinyin attacked with resentment, moving frighteningly fast.

"Opponent's target locked on left chest. Shift seventy-five degrees to the left!"

"Seventy-five degrees... seventy-five degrees..." The moment Pei Shao heard Castle's instruction, he immediately pictured the angle in his mind and cautiously swayed his body. But to the spectators outside the ring, that caution looked exactly like a hip-wiggling belly dance!

The spectators erupted in gasps once again!

"Heavens! What is that guy doing now?"

"Three circles left? Three circles right? Twist your neck, wiggle your butt?"

"Fuck! Can that even be called martial arts?"

"Pei, raise your right hand a little higher!" At this moment, Castle was still demanding absolute precision!

Just as Dongfang Yinyin's right fist was about to strike Pei Shao in the chest, Pei Shao suddenly shouted, "Heh-ha-yi-wei!" and sharply turned his body seventy-five degrees. But because Pei Shao had been far too cautious this time, Dongfang Yinyin had already made a corresponding adjustment by the time he turned.

However, Dongfang Yinyin had not expected Pei Shao to suddenly let out a "Heh-ha-yi-wei!" at such a moment!

Her hand trembled, and her punch struck Pei Shao's shoulder. In pain, Pei Shao spun around again, and his butt slammed directly into Dongfang Yinyin's arm, sending her flying straight out!

"Ah!" Everyone stared in stunned disbelief once again.

Even more embarrassed and enraged, Dongfang Yinyin sprang up from the ground and shouted, "You really are... a hooligan!"

"Your hand touched my butt. How does that still make me the hooligan?" Pei Shao's defense made Dongfang Yinyin blush, but it also suddenly made her think of a possibility!

"Could it be—this guy actually knows martial arts? Did he see through my moves and deliberately take advantage of me?" This realization gave Dongfang Yinyin quite a shock. Rather than immediately attacking again, she thought, Since this guy wants to play the fool while hiding his strength, fine. I, Dongfang Yinyin, will play along with you to the bitter end today!

The students standing behind Dongfang Yinyin were thinking exactly the same thing. Could we really have misjudged him earlier? Is he not a complete amateur, but a peerless master who only appears foolish?

As they thought this, their eyes widened even further. They no longer dared to underestimate Pei Shao, yet if they were to say he was truly a hidden master, he really did not look the part no matter how they looked at him!

Meanwhile, Pei Shao himself was rapidly communicating with Castle in secret.

"Mr. Castle, your moves aren't working! You're not messing with me, are you?"

"Analysis indicates a three-second delay between your movements and my instructions."

"So I'm too slow?" Pei Shao looked at Dongfang Yinyin across from him, who was also pondering how to launch her next attack, and thought, Then I'll be faster this time.

At that moment, Dongfang Yinyin finished thinking it through. She decided to do the opposite this time: first launch a slow feint, then follow it up with a series of combination punches to give Pei Shao a harsh lesson.

Dongfang Yinyin's plan was quite ingenious. If Pei Shao truly was no amateur, he would definitely see through the feint and remain still. If he was really pretending to be crazy and making a few idiotic movements to distract her while seeking a chance to take advantage of her, then she could immediately turn the feint into a real attack and kick him flying without mercy. On the other hand, if he truly was an amateur and those earlier moves had merely been luck, then this time she could calmly dazzle Pei Shao first before slowly toying him to death.

But—

"Pei! The opponent's target is locked on your jaw. You can first bend down..." Castle had originally intended to continue, "But this is an illusion. Her true weapon is not her fist, but her leg! You can also use bending down to draw out her movement, then..."

But before the anxious Pei Shao could hear the rest, he charged out in an instant.

Only halfway there did he hear what sounded like a crouching motion in Castle's instructions. So, just as the fist was about to hit his chin, Pei Shao abruptly squatted down without even thinking. But because he failed to stop his momentum—and because the training hall floor had been specially waxed by Dongfang Yinyin when she arranged for Lin Meijing to come interview her—Pei Shao landed squarely on his butt and slid across the floor like a rocket straight toward Dongfang Yinyin.

Dongfang Yinyin had only just formed her follow-up movements in her mind. Seeing that Pei Shao neither wiggled his butt in place nor pretended to be crazy while waiting for her attack, but instead charged straight at her, her body instinctively followed the moves in her mind and suddenly kicked out.

And at the exact moment Dongfang Yinyin lifted her leg, Pei Shao shot forward with a whoosh. His head slammed directly into the base of Dongfang Yinyin's thigh. Unable to stop themselves, the two immediately turned into a tangled rolling mess and tumbled toward the edge of the ring. As Dongfang Yinyin slipped and fell, her legs somehow clamped tightly around Pei Shao's head, while Pei Shao's head pressed firmly against Dongfang Yinyin's lower abdomen.

"Heavens!" The spectators outside the ring froze on the spot upon seeing this bizarre scene once again! And after Pei Shao realized where his head was, he too nearly turned to stone instantly.

Everyone looked at one another.

Only after the two stopped moving did Dongfang Yinyin realize that Pei Shao had taken even greater advantage of her this time. Even if Dongfang Yinyin was a modern heroine who did not sweat the small stuff, there was no way she could let someone take advantage of her again and again without feeling anything. Especially since the place Pei Shao had touched this time was simply too embarrassing.

Dongfang Yinyin's face, already flushed with embarrassment and anger, turned completely red. Flustered and ashamed, she shouted again, "Y-you, you... so you do know martial arts! You deliberately took advantage of me!"

Pei Shao cried out miserably, "I really didn't do it on purpose!"

Hearing their exchange, the students outside the ring felt even more like they were about to faint.
