Chapter 546

As soon as the words fell, he made the first move, raising his palm to attack Gu Beicheng.

Lu Feifan's speed was extremely fast, like an arrow released from a bow, his palm wind whistling as he headed straight for Gu Beicheng.

Seeing Lu Feifan make his move, Iverson and Ms. An, who had originally been listless, finally perked up and couldn't stop praising him.

"The younger generation is to be feared!"

"Young Master Lu's reaction and strength are both quite good."

"His moves are also very clean."

Xu Tian watched Gu Beicheng and Lu Feifan exchange blows on stage silently and couldn't help but shake his head.

The level of Gu Beicheng and the others could only be compared to Wuqing, Fengwu, and their like. If the opponent were Yun Shuying or the Star Chart Woman, they probably wouldn't even have a chance to fight back.

Lu Feifan's strength and reaction speed were decent, but his move transitions were stiff, and his speed could only be called decent, not rapid.

Moreover, many of his moves were flashy but useless; they were indeed pleasing to the eye in an exhibition match, but he would easily suffer in actual combat.

Although Gu Beicheng and Lu Feifan were fighting to a standstill on the arena at this moment, Xu Tian, sitting in the spectator area, could easily find ways to break those moves.

If he were to go on stage and fight these two, he should be able to end the battle in a short time.

Xu Tian watched for a while and gradually shifted his attention to Gu Beicheng.

In his previous life, he had known that this person was extremely calculating.

Now he had already exchanged over a hundred moves with Lu Feifan. At first glance, they were evenly matched, but in reality, he had been holding back since the start of the fight, not using his full strength.

Lu Feifan was, after all, the successor of the Lu family. By doing this, Gu Beicheng could do the Lu family a favor.

And he could gain another connection by having Lu Feifan on his side through this matter.

Furthermore, this arena tournament was hosted by the Lu family. If he were to steal the limelight and take first place, it would make Lu Tian Feng look bad.

Gu Beicheng was an extremely profit-oriented person; he could make appropriate concessions and sacrifices for his ultimate goal. Otherwise, as a man, he wouldn't keep pestering Tang Bingyan and setting traps for him everywhere, knowing full well that he was with her.

Therefore, holding back on the arena was completely something Gu Beicheng would do.

Of course, this little trick of his could fool laymen, but anyone with real accomplishments in martial arts could see that he was deliberately selling openings to Lu Feifan, and he was selling them quite "cleverly."

After all, the two were fighting back and forth; even if Lu Feifan won in the end, it would only be by a narrow margin, which wouldn't make him lose face and would also allow Lu Feifan to win the championship.

The two on stage fought for dozens more rounds, and Gu Beicheng deliberately slowed his palm speed by half a beat, directly allowing Lu Feifan to catch the opening and force him back.

If this palm had hit Gu Beicheng, he definitely would have been injured.

Therefore, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Gu Beicheng was forced to jump off the arena and voluntarily admit defeat.

"Lu family's Lu Feifan wins!"

As soon as Gu Beicheng jumped off the arena, the referee announced.

Lu Tian Feng, sitting in the spectator area, looked at Gu Beicheng with an expression of approval in his eyes.

He could naturally see that Gu Beicheng had held back just now.

In other words, the championship of this arena tournament had been yielded to Lu Feifan by Gu Beicheng.

Gu Beicheng's strength was above his son's; if he had used his full strength, his son could not have won.

"Brother Beicheng?" Lu Feifan looked at Gu Beicheng, who had already reached the ground, also somewhat stunned.

He wasn't stupid either; he could see that Gu Beicheng had intentionally held back.

But when the two were fighting, he had only thought that Gu Beicheng didn't want him to lose face in front of his uncles, so he had deliberately reserved his strength, letting them fight back and forth.

But he never expected that Gu Beicheng would willingly yield this championship to him.

"Feifan, your palm technique has indeed improved quite a bit during this time. I admit defeat!" Gu Beicheng smiled faintly at Lu Feifan, without the slightest dissatisfaction.

Lu Feifan was stunned for a moment, then understood Gu Beicheng's intention and said sincerely.

"Brother Beicheng, you are too modest. Your strength is very strong, definitely not inferior to mine. Whether in martial arts or in conduct, I admire you very much."

When Lu Feifan said this, his gaze inadvertently looked toward Xu Tian's direction, and he snorted coldly, deliberately saying loudly.

"Members of the judging panel, as the Tang family's team leader, can Xu Tian ignore the rules of the tournament and not go on stage to duel?"

Hmph, wanting to hide comfortably in the back and be a coward?

I won't give you that chance!

The old man sitting in the middle of the judging panel looked at Xu Tian's direction in a dilemma. One was the Lu family's young master, and the other was the lover of the Tang family head; he couldn't afford to offend either of them.

But Xu Tian's performance was truly too spineless. As a martial artist, he also hated this kind of behavior of retreating without a fight.

So, after careful consideration, he still said to Xu Tian.

"Mr. Xu, you are the Tang family's team leader this time. You should abide by the rules of the arena tournament. Please go on stage immediately and fight against the Lu family's team leader!"

"You represent the Tang family, so you must abide by the rules, otherwise it will affect the Tang family's reputation."

In order to force Xu Tian to go on stage, the old man on the judging panel actually used public pressure to force him to agree.

Xu Tian raised his eyes slightly to look at this old man, then replied.

"Since I must go on stage, then I will."

Saying this, he got up and walked toward the arena.

Gu Beicheng secretly rejoiced in his heart when he heard that Xu Tian was going on stage.

On the surface, however, he showed a worried expression and spoke to persuade him.

"Xu Tian, Feifan's strength is very strong, be careful."

Xu Tian paused his steps, turned his head to look at Gu Beicheng, and said with a meaningful tone.

"Oh? Didn't Mr. Gu think highly of me before? Why are you now boosting others' morale before I've even gone on stage?"

Gu Beicheng:...

He couldn't respond to this.

Gu Beicheng hadn't expected Xu Tian to be so disrespectful to him. He smiled awkwardly and said reluctantly.

"Mr. Xu, good luck."

Lu Feifan, looking at Xu Tian on the arena, sneered: "Don't worry, this match will stop at a touch, and I am the host, so I will definitely take good care of you on the arena!"

He emphasized the word "take care" heavily, and everyone could hear the subtext.

"Then please enlighten me." Xu Tian replied very perfunctorily.

The Tang family's secret guards stood in the back with worried expressions. They had already lost enough face today; if Xu Tian went on stage and was beaten black and blue by Lu Feifan and begged for mercy on his knees, then the Tang family's face would truly be rubbed into the ground.

But no matter how worried they were, they couldn't stop the upcoming arena duel, and could only watch in despair as Xu Tian walked onto the stage step by step.

"Heaven bless us, heaven bless us, I hope Lu Feifan shows mercy and doesn't really cripple him!"

"Hmph, even if he cripples him, it's his own fault!" another secret guard complained very dissatisfiedly, "Clearly he doesn't know martial arts, why did he have to act tough and become this team leader!"

These few secret guards were also somewhat unconvinced. If they could have a badass team leader, maybe they could turn things around in the team leader's duel.

Soon, Xu Tian was on the arena, standing in front of Lu Feifan with a calm expression.

"The match begins!"
