Chapter 123: One-Second KO, 10-Second Countdown

"Fuck, that guy Shigu Sun was too smug too early, to actually fall into the hands of a little girl."

"Sibal, John, I don't think this Shenxia wench is a pushover; we've really met our match this time."

At this moment, in the group of contestants under the stage, stood a blond man and a red-haired man with a lecherous face.

The blond man was draped in a golden boxing champion's cape, with a gray-black vulture embroidered on the back.

And that redhead was wearing a black cloak, with a pair of steel claws tucked into his waist.

These were the two exchange students from Tujiuoguo and Nanqie Country.

The blond man was named John, and the red-haired man was named Puchangyin.

It seemed these two had come in a group with that Shigu Sun from Nihong Country, all intending to come to Shenxia Kingdom to challenge the local gyms.

Seeing Shigu Sun defeated so easily by Li Er, they suddenly began to hesitate.

You must know, among the three of them, only Shigu Sun had an SS-level Soul Profession Quality, while the two of them were both S-Grade Fist Shadow Fighter and Shadow Flying Thief.

But things had reached this point, and the big talk they had spoken earlier could not be taken back.

If they just left like this with their tails between their legs, they would become a laughingstock back in their own countries; how would they ever be able to hold their heads up in front of people again?

The blond man John frowned, gritted his teeth, and said, "Hmph, what is there to fear? That Shigu Sun must have underestimated the enemy to lose so miserably. We must not be as careless as him. I don't believe this Shenxia chick can be that strong; my S-Grade Fist Shadow Fighter isn't just for show."

Puchangyin, with a sinister face, licked his lips and replied, "John, you'd better take it easy. Don't go hurting this pretty chick; we might still need to see her often in the future."

"I actually think it's not bad to change things up occasionally. The women of Shenxia Kingdom are all natural; if you're going to find a woman, you have to find one like this."

John looked at Li Er on the ring, a trace of greed involuntarily revealing itself in his eyes, but he quickly composed his expression and said with feigned calm, "Hmph, let's solve the matter at hand first. There will be plenty of time to consider those things later."

"The priority now is to win this duel and let these Shenxia Kingdom people know how strong we are. I don't want to live with these Shenxia people."

Puchangyin chuckled and said, "That goes without saying, but this chick is indeed exciting; she's a feast for the eyes. Once we win against her, we'll have to get 'close' to her properly."

As he spoke, his lecherous gaze swept back and forth over Li Er several times, as if he were already constructing all sorts of sordid scenes in his mind.

These two guys discussed things in bird language, and Zhou Chu didn't understand a single word.

However, very quickly, a long string of translated text appeared before his eyes.

It was translated directly by Li Er based on the two's conversation and sent to Zhou Chu in real-time.

Zhou Chu had long since seen the ill-intentioned expressions of the two, who were looking at Li Er on the ring from time to time while they talked.

After seeing their conversation, the anger in his heart surged upward.

These two guys were truly too shameless, their heads full of filthy thoughts, and they were even plotting against Li Er.

He had to teach them a harsh lesson and let them know that Shenxia Kingdom was not a place where they could run wild and be presumptuous.

The next moment, John, like a boxing champion making an entrance, flicked that golden cape back with a 'whoosh', baring his torso and revealing a set of sturdy muscles.

He struck a warm-up pose, throwing punches as he walked onto the teleportation platform.

Teleported onto the ring, John was a full two sizes larger than Li Er; that hulking figure standing there gave one a strong sense of oppression.

He shook his neck a few times, cupped his hands together, cracked his knuckles with a 'pop-pop' sound, looked at Li Er with an extremely contemptuous gaze, and then beckoned to Li Er: "Come on, baby!"

As he spoke, he shook his shoulders twice more and threw a few punches into thin air.

That arrogant and domineering posture was as annoying as it could possibly be.

But the next moment, Li Er slowly withdrew the Ion Energy Sword in her hand, her figure suddenly flashed, and she arrived right in front of John in an instant.

John, who was in the middle of "warming up," hadn't expected Li Er's speed to be so fast and was stunned for a moment.

By the time he reacted, Li Er was already within arm's reach; that cold face with a hint of chill was right before his eyes, making his heart skip a beat.

Immediately following, a biting wind whistled from his ear, and a fist twice the size of John's head struck his cheek heavily.

The formidable force directly twisted and deformed John's face, emitting a dull thud.

At the same time, several white teeth flew out from John's mouth, his hulking body flew sideways, and finally, he fell to the ground with a 'thump'.

Beautiful!

A one-second KO of the opponent!

Li Er clapped her hands and then snapped her fingers.

A virtual countdown number appeared above John.

That number emitted a blue light, exceptionally eye-catching, starting from "10" and ticking down second by second.

From start to finish, John on the ground didn't move a muscle; once the 10-second countdown passed, he was teleported off the ring.

The crowd under the stage saw this scene, were stunned for a moment, and then erupted into a burst of uproarious laughter and enthusiastic cheers.

In fact, everyone had long been annoyed by the arrogant and domineering appearance of these three exchange students.

Later, forced by Shigu Sun's formidable strength, a group of Shenxia freshmen had been crushed by him, and they were truly holding back a breath of frustration in their hearts.

But Li Er's appearance, cleanly and neatly defeating these two arrogant exchange students, not only extinguished their arrogant flames but also allowed everyone present to vent their pent-up anger.

This was truly satisfying!

Although ring matches cannot cause death, they still result in injuries to a certain extent.

Shigu Sun, who had previously been head-shot, had a bandage wrapped around his forehead with a circular bloodstain printed in the middle; he was now sullenly tending to John, who had been beaten into a smoked pig's head.

Before leaving the ring, he cast a resentful glance at Zhou Chu and walked toward the outside of the plaza with his tail between his legs.

And that Puchangyin, seeing the two big bosses being bullied off the ring one after another, no longer had the guts to challenge on stage, but he still mustered his courage, pointed a finger at Zhou Chu as if to say "you just wait for me," and then quickly followed the two away.

Bai Ping, who had been acting as the referee, was even more astonished to see Li Er easily defeat two foreign exchange students with such impressive strength, and at the same time, he felt a sense of exhilaration and pride.

Only, when he saw this girl before him, he had a vague feeling of familiarity, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

But he couldn't think of it no matter how hard he tried, and in the end, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

Perhaps he had seen her in a dream.

It was strange to say, but from last night until today, Bai Ping felt as if he had been in a dream the whole time.

First, his daughter had returned to his side safe and sound, and then there was this slightly familiar girl before him.

Was all of this really just a dream?
