Head-on Collision

Wang Tianyu and Huang Lei ignored the cheers from below.

All of their attention was focused on their opponent.

The honest look Huang Lei had worn at the start was long gone as he charged straight ahead with clenched fists.

Huang Lei in battle mode looked like a completely different person from before.

His expression was ferocious, his eyes brimming with savagery.

He moved with the momentum, like a wild beast on the hunt.

Seeing Huang Lei like this, Wang Tianyu also tightened his focus.

Wang Tianyu watched Huang Lei intently, ready to deal with his attack.

Huang Lei's fist was aimed at Wang Tianyu's chest.

Wang Tianyu's expression changed as he saw the fierce wind kicked up by Huang Lei.

He had no intention of taking Huang Lei's heavy punch head-on.

Although the "Basic Cultivation Method" had strengthened his body to the point where he could be considered tough-skinned and thick-fleshed,

he would still come to no good beneath Huang Lei's fists.

After all, a heavy blow did not merely injure the muscles and skin; the internal organs would suffer damage as well.

Facing Huang Lei's accelerating charge, Wang Tianyu's eyes widened.

Then Wang Tianyu darted aside. With that single dodge, Huang Lei's fist struck empty air.

After evading Huang Lei's punch, Wang Tianyu did not waste the opportunity.

He swiftly clenched his hand into a fist and smashed it viciously toward Huang Lei's abdomen.

Huang Lei had clearly been prepared. His previous punch had looked overwhelmingly fierce, but he had not used his full strength; it had been more of a probe.

Wang Tianyu's fist did not hit its target. Huang Lei blocked it with his arm.

After blocking Wang Tianyu's attack, Huang Lei's eyes lit up.

"Not bad. Again!"

Feeling Wang Tianyu's strength, Huang Lei's desire to fight burned even stronger.

Before Wang Tianyu could reply, Huang Lei's next attack was already ready.

Huang Lei's thick right arm stirred the air without any fancy tricks as it came charging at Wang Tianyu again.

The two were too close together for Wang Tianyu to have any chance of dodging Huang Lei's fist.

With no chance to evade, he could only take it head-on.

In the blink of an eye, their fists collided heavily.

Bang!

Their clash was savage, like two frenzied beasts tearing into each other.

Seeing Wang Tianyu choose such a direct head-on clash with Huang Lei, Su Pengfei frowned slightly.

On the other side, Gao Bin smiled at the sight.

Gao Bin knew exactly how great Huang Lei's strength was. Moreover, because of his physique, Huang Lei's staying power far exceeded that of an ordinary person.

Seeing Wang Tianyu choose the method with the least chance of victory, Gao Bin could practically see Huang Lei winning.

Su Pengfei did not call out to warn Wang Tianyu, because that would violate the rules of the match.

Wang Tianyu had no energy to care what the people below were thinking, because Huang Lei's fist was already swinging at him again.

As though his ferocity had been stirred, Wang Tianyu did not retreat when he saw Huang Lei's fist. Instead, he threw his own fist as well.

Bang!

A brief muffled thud rang out as Wang Tianyu clashed head-on with Huang Lei once more.

The instant their fists met, Wang Tianyu took a step back.

The force carried by Huang Lei's fist was simply too great. Although Wang Tianyu had used all his strength, he was still a notch weaker than Huang Lei.

Wang Tianyu took a step back before steadying his swaying body.

As for Huang Lei, after that head-on exchange with Wang Tianyu, his body also swayed slightly before he retreated half a step.

From the number of steps they had taken back, it was clear that in a pure contest of strength, Wang Tianyu was still slightly weaker than Huang Lei.

"Tianyu, don't clash with him head-on! Your reactions are definitely faster than his. Keep moving and fight him!"

Chen Yongguo shouted with all his might from below the stage, hoping Wang Tianyu could hear him.

Gao Bin shot Chen Yongguo a look, a hint of warning in his eyes.

"Don't glare at my student. What they want to say is none of your business."

Though Su Pengfei could not interfere with the match himself for the sake of face and the rules, Chen Yongguo and the other students watching were another matter.

"Hmph!"

After snorting coldly, Gao Bin withdrew his gaze from Chen Yongguo.

Even Chen Yongguo had noticed that Wang Tianyu was at a disadvantage in a head-on clash with Huang Lei.

Yet Wang Tianyu himself seemed not to have noticed at all.

Bang!

Their fists collided heavily again.

"Again!"

Enduring the pain in his arm, Wang Tianyu took the initiative to provoke Huang Lei.

"Come on!"

Huang Lei was not having an easy time either. Though he was slightly stronger than Wang Tianyu, he did not hold an absolute advantage.

The previous collisions had put no small amount of pressure on Huang Lei as well.

The same scene played out again. This time, both of them staggered several steps backward.

Wang Tianyu retreated four or five steps before finally steadying his continually retreating body.

Huang Lei could not hold his ground either. Though he did everything he could to stabilize himself, he still failed.

The situation in the ring was becoming increasingly obvious. Because Wang Tianyu had chosen such a clumsy method, his disadvantage looked enormous.

"Su Pengfei, it looks like your Energy Stones will soon belong to me. With so many people watching, surely you won't go back on your word, will you?"

Gao Bin's tone was smug. Though he knew Su Pengfei would definitely not renege if he lost, Gao Bin still wanted to needle him with his words.

Gao Bin and Su Pengfei were both true martial artists, with their own pride and principles.

The twenty Energy Stones in the wager were not a small sum, but neither of them would risk gaining a reputation for defaulting on a bet over such money.

If their reputations were ruined, it would be hard for them to get by in martial artist circles in the future.

Gao Bin looked at Su Pengfei with a smug grin, thoroughly enjoying the sight of Su Pengfei being put in a difficult position.

"Don't worry. I, Su Pengfei, am not the kind of person to deny a wager. If I lose, you won't be short a single bit of the stake."

As Su Pengfei spoke, his eyes remained fixed on the ring.

Su Pengfei's instincts told him that things were not so simple.

From their earlier interactions, Su Pengfei did not believe Wang Tianyu was a brainless brute.

He was clearly weaker in strength, yet he stubbornly kept choosing to clash head-on with his opponent. That did not seem like something Wang Tianyu would do.

Could it really be youthful hotheadedness and an unwillingness to admit defeat?

Su Pengfei did not think things were that simple, yet the reality before him seemed to be exactly that.

Wang Tianyu was like a gambler who had lost his eyes red, endlessly clashing head-on with Huang Lei.

Just as Su Pengfei was growing suspicious, a new change appeared in the match on the ring.

"Let's go again!"

Huang Lei tore off his tracksuit, revealing muscles like blocks of iron.

After removing his shirt, Huang Lei's imposing aura visibly rose several notches.

Facing Huang Lei, who grew braver with every battle, Wang Tianyu still did not choose to avoid the fight.

Wang Tianyu made only one movement: he clenched his fist tightly.

The two swiftly ran toward each other, closing in for another collision.

Just when everyone thought their fists would meet fist against fist once more,

Wang Tianyu suddenly bent down. With that single bend, Huang Lei's fist, packed with all his strength, instantly lost its target.

Realizing Wang Tianyu's movement was a feint, Huang Lei immediately tried to withdraw his power and defend.

Although Huang Lei's reaction speed was already very fast, he was at the moment when his old strength had faded and new strength had yet to arise.

Huang Lei struggled to control his body and defend.

Yet he still could not adjust his posture in time.

And that instant was the opportunity Wang Tianyu had been waiting for.

No politeness, no holding back!

Wang Tianyu raised his head and threw a punch straight at Huang Lei.

With the prepared striking the unprepared, Wang Tianyu's punch landed heavily on Huang Lei's chest.

As Wang Tianyu's punch fell, Huang Lei's eyes bulged first, then his expression changed, and a mouthful of blood spilled uncontrollably from his lips.

Thud!

After spitting out blood, Huang Lei's body crashed heavily to the ground.

Wang Tianyu did not press his advantage. He and Huang Lei did not share any life-or-death grudge.

That punch had basically robbed Huang Lei of his ability to fight. There was no need for Wang Tianyu to do anything excessive.
