Trouble at the Martial Arts School (3)

Seeing that Pei Shao had noticed them, Dongfang Yinyin leaned close to his ear and whispered, "The one with long hair is Zhang Huaiyuan, and the short one is A Zheng. They're both rich young masters. They usually love comparing their wealth and showing off, and they never take ordinary disciples seriously. But they don't have any real skill themselves and spend all day causing trouble. If I weren't taking their family backgrounds into consideration, I'd have thrown them all out long ago!"

Pei Shao nodded and sighed. "That's just how rich people are!"

At that moment, A Zheng and Zhang Huaiyuan had not heard Dongfang Yinyin and Pei Shao whispering. Their four eyes turned toward Cui Jianhao at the same time. Cui Jianhao blinked at them smugly and said, "Hey, A Zheng, Huaiyuan. How are you?"

A Zheng and Zhang Huaiyuan exchanged a glance. The latter could not hold back any longer and asked, "I heard you can kick through three steel plates with one kick. Is that true?"

Cui Jianhao smiled. "It is. But how did you find out so quickly?"

"Uh..." Zhang Huaiyuan had no answer and swiftly changed the subject. "A Hao, if I remember correctly, you couldn't even break a wooden board before. Yet now you're saying you can kick through steel plates? Three of them, at that? How did you improve so quickly?"

A Zheng chimed in, "That's right! If it's really true, I'd like to learn a thing or two myself!" Though they spoke, their gazes had both fixed on the steel plates.

Seeing their expressions, Cui Jianhao already knew what they were thinking. "What? You doubt my strength? Heh, Yinyin already inspected all those steel plates just now. If you don't trust me, feel free to inspect them again. I don't mind." With that, he shrugged, wearing an expression that said they could do as they pleased.

Naturally, Zhang Huaiyuan and A Zheng did not trust him. Thinking he had tampered with them, they immediately went over and inspected the plates again. But naturally, just like Dongfang Yinyin, they found nothing.

The two returned helplessly and turned to Dongfang Yinyin. "Yinyin, sorry. You don't mind us spoiling your fun, do you?"

Dongfang Yinyin said blandly, "It doesn't matter. If you're interested too, you may stay and watch."

Those words were exactly what they wanted to hear, and they nodded eagerly.

In truth, they were not interested in Cui Jianhao's kicking technique at all. They were simply afraid that if Cui Jianhao really had some way of breaking those steel plates, Dongfang Yinyin might agree to go on a date with him. They had already heard about it from the subordinates who had rushed over to report the news. And based on what they knew of Cui Jianhao, girls usually became "women" after dating him. That was what truly troubled them.

If Dongfang Yinyin really let Cui Jianhao get there first, then the "secret wager" between the three of them would end in Cui Jianhao's victory. Losing money was a small matter. The problem was that neither of them could afford to lose face.

They did not want Cui Jianhao to speak to them in a condescending tone every time he saw them in the future.

Of course, there was another important point: a top-quality virgin like Dongfang Yinyin was exactly the sort they dreamed of. If they simply lost her to Jianhao like this, it would be far too regrettable!

As the two thought of this at the same time, their eyes once again fell on Dongfang Yinyin's pretty face. The moment their gazes met her dark, gleaming eyes, their mouths went dry.

Dongfang Yinyin was even more stunning up close. Her beauty was as natural as nature itself. She was tall and slender, with shoulders as sharply sculpted as if cut by a blade, a snow-white neck, springy legs, and a slim waist seemingly capable of infinite explosive power... Were they really supposed to watch helplessly as such a rare virgin was pinned beneath Cui Jianhao and ravaged at his leisure?

After looking at her, both of them felt even worse. They began considering what excuse they could use to stop the date if Cui Jianhao truly succeeded.

Just as they were burning with anxiety, Cui Jianhao casually adjusted his training uniform, crouched down, and pressed his thighs a few times, revealing a rugged side of himself.

Although Dongfang Yinyin somewhat disliked the usual conduct of these playboys, she had to admit that Cui Jianhao truly possessed a charm that attracted women. At that moment, her heart also began beating faster despite herself.

Cui Jianhao gave Dongfang Yinyin an exceedingly charming smile. Just as A Zheng and Zhang Huaiyuan both inwardly cried that things were bad, Cui Jianhao charged forward and suddenly accelerated! Pei Shao, Dongfang Yinyin, and all the trainees present widened their eyes at that instant!

With Cui Jianhao's steady footwork, smooth breathing, and skillful movements, he leaped into the air, rose beautifully, then snapped out a kick and fiercely stomped down on the steel plates in midair. Everyone was so captivated by his movements that they stopped breathing on the spot!

A crisp crack rang out, and the steel plate, more than half a finger thick, broke cleanly in response! The trainees behind him immediately burst into cheers. A Zheng and Zhang Huaiyuan went pale as ashes. A strange light flashed through Dongfang Yinyin's beautiful eyes!

Even Pei Shao was completely captivated by that move and could not help sighing, "Strong! Truly strong!" Then, still wanting more, he said to Castle in his pocket, "Well? Isn't that impressive? Say something, Mr. Castle. Don't tell me you were so shocked by that move that you can't speak either?"

After Pei Shao rambled on at length and nagged for a while, Castle, who was busy upgrading the software for his database, finally could not endure it any longer. He replied impatiently, "Pei! I have absolutely no interest in these little tricks you carbon-based humans play. Please stop disturbing me!"

"Little tricks?" Pei Shao was baffled. "Hey! What do you mean, little tricks? Are you starting to get jealous just because us carbon-based humans are a little stronger?"

The proud Castle was immediately provoked and said coldly, "Strong? Jealous? Pei! I don't understand why you would say that, but I can tell you that the reason that person so easily shattered the electromagnetic plates..."

"Wait! Mr. Castle, what did you say? Electromagnetic plates? Aren't those steel plates?"

"No! Those are not steel plates. They were developed using special materials along with a small amount of nanotechnology! They do indeed have a 97.33% resemblance to steel plates in appearance, and their hardness is also close to that of steel. But this material has a fatal flaw! As long as 3% electromagnetic waves are injected into it, the plate will suffer a devastating blow!"
