"Sigh, all of you people... When I asked who would take my place in the coaches' competition and act as the deputy director, not a single one of you stepped forward, but now you're all so eager to go against my sister."
Everyone felt a bit embarrassed and touched their noses, exchanging looks and showing playful grins.
Who would step out, we're all just employees, by the end of the year who knows if we'd switch jobs...
"Chu Sheng, you do it."
ng Xing patted the shoulder of the man beside him, "You were the one ant to represent the Martial Arts Hall in the competition anyway, so you should be the one to go up against my sister."
Chu Sheng was a steadfast martial arts fundantalist, whose teaching philosophies aligned perfectly with ng Xing's. He had long been dissatisfied with ng Qing's recruitnt and marketing plans, believing that they would not attract genuine martial arts talent.
But after all, he was a salaried employee, and he preferred not to get involved in the sisters' disputes.
"So, we're agreed then."
ng Xing smiled as he persuaded Fang You, "If Coach Chu Sheng defeats my sister, then he will represent the Martial Arts Hall in the coaches' competition...that's right, isn't it?"
"Right, since we're competing, let's up the stakes a bit."
Fang You said, "If ng Qing wins, not only will she represent the Martial Arts Hall in the coaches' competition, but you also can't ntion making her leave the hall again, and officially hire her as a coach."
"I can agree to that."
ng Xing said, "The principle of reciprocity applies. If she loses, then Qing can no longer nitpick my martial arts hall's developnt plans, how about that? Any issues?"
ng Xing stared at ng Qing, who seed a bit shaken, "To save you a little face, it would be best if you chose to give up now."
"Let's compete, who's afraid of who!"
ng Qing now had no way out anyway!
Because ng Qing had been hungover the night before, her ntal state was a bit poor, Fang You and ng Xing arranged for a sparring session the next day in front of all the coaches and students of the hall, which would be the competition between ng Qing and Chu Sheng.
Which ant, before the match, ng Qing only had one day to train.
To avoid revealing too much of her tactical prowess at the dojo, Fang You decided to take ng Qing to his secret training location.
That's how ng Qing ended up being led to the secret base's territory, blindfolded by Fang You.
Co to think of it, this posture, if seen, would surely lead to so misunderstandings...
[You are walking with ng Qing, happiness experience 3, happiness experience 3...]
[While being led by you, ng Qing thinks of so odd things, emotional energy 3, emotional energy 3]
ng Qing's sense of sha was indeed spilling out.
And she felt kind of guilty about it.
"Right... since this is your secret base, isn't it inappropriate for an adult like to keep intruding?"
"No problem, I already gave Nuo Nuo a heads-up last night; she's aware of the situation, and you're not the only adult who's co in."
Fang You had nothing secretive to hide from Xia Nuo, as his decisions were always rational and correct.
Another, more important reason was that Xia Nuo was very generous.
"Nuo Nuo said she wants to co to cheer for you tomorrow."
"Ah? Nuo Nuo is coming too..."
Fang You frowned, "What, are you worried you can't defeat Coach Chu Sheng?"
Continue your adventure at empire
"No, I'm just... a bit nervous."
ng Qing touched her nose, "After all, my real combat experience has only been sparring with you, Youyou."
"True, it's rare to face opponents other than , but if you can't even defeat one of our own martial arts hall's coaches, winning the championship would seem even more unfathomable, right?"
"Hmm... that's true."
"Alright, enough talk, let's have a match to see if you've regressed lately."
No matter how many tis we spar, I'm probably still going to be soundly defeated by Youyou.
But it's true, always thinking about losing really does seem to lack spirit.
I can't let down this kid's expectations of .
Just like the usual 2 weeks, ng Qing and Fang You began their offensive play.
Begin!
Today, Emperor Youyou did not wait for ng Qing's attack as before, but attacked aggressively like fire, delivering a flying kick straight at her. ng Qing raised her hand to block, but Fang You didn't change his move, instead delivering a heavy smash down.
ng Qing raised her hand to block and retreated a few steps, yet Fang You's offensive did not end. Following up was a side kick. Just as ng Qing dodged it, Fang You used the montum of the side kick to co in close. ng Qing couldn't dodge in ti and was hit hard by Fang You, staggering several steps back before she could barely steady herself.
The offensive was relentless and aggressive, never ceasing!
So intense from the get-go...
It's, it's too intense!
But, but...sothing's strange.
Hmm...
Very strange...
ng Qing showed a rather surprised expression.
However, just as she was about to say sothing, Fang You charged forward again with a punch. Just as ng Qing was about to block, Fang You suddenly grabbed the collar of her shirt, then with a rabbit hop, flew into the air and, truly leaping three feet high, clamped directly onto ng Qing's neck and flipped her over onto the ground.
Fang You wrapped one of ng Qing's arms tightly in his embrace, bent his legs and pressed them onto ng Qing's neck, locking her firmly in place.
Fang You's move was similar to the flying armbar in Samba Jujitsu, inspired by the last ti Xia Nuo nearly used the Deadly Chain Scissor Kick when climbing a tree.
From the flying kick to locking ng Qing in place, it took a re three seconds, and ng Qing completely lost the ability to resist.
"This...so strong...I can't even breathe...ahem, cough cough..."
Fang You released ng Qing from the lock, then pulled her up.
Although she was easily defeated by Fang You again, ng Qing's face didn't show defeat but an expression of incredulity.
"You You, I, I feel like..."
"I feel like I've improved!"
ng Qing exclaid in surprise, "Did you see that, You You, You You! You weren't going easy on , were you?"
"Do you think I would go easy on you?"
"Ah...eh hehe...so, this ans—I'm—"
"It's only natural, you just lasted one more move against ; that's hardly anything."
"But it's really incredible, ! I've never once lasted three moves against you! Now it takes four moves for to be defeated by you!"
Fang You paused for a mont, then spoke with a tone of satisfaction and approval, "However, there is indeed noticeable improvent..."
In Fang You's eyes, ng Qing's improvent was expected and only natural.
Besides the non-stop, day and night hard training recently, she had shared her strongest Martial Arts Talent "Profound Mastery of Martial Arts" during last night's conversation, which straight-up granted a 1 Professional Level ability!
The increase in Professional Level ant an all-around enhancent of abilities; there was no ability that could facilitate faster progress than this Talent.
This also ant that ng Qing had truly accepted herself to a certain extent, considering herself close enough to rely on as if he were her own father.
"ng Qing, I still rember what you complained to about last night, saying that you didn't know if you even liked the sport of martial arts, and that you put so much effort into running the Martial Arts Hall just to avoid being left without a ho."
"But I don't see it that way."
Fang You looked at his disciple, then continued with a heartfelt tone,
"Whether or not your eyes have the glow of passion for martial arts is not for to define, nor for your sister to define, but for you to define yourself."
"For to define myself..."
"That's right, you love martial arts more and are more passionate about it than anyone else, and deep down you know this better than anyone."
"Otherwise, you wouldn't feel so humiliated because you lost to , you wouldn't train so hard day and night, and you wouldn't be able to pick up that knowledge again in such a short ti."
Fang You gestured for ng Qing to crouch down, then gently patted her shoulder and whispered in her ear,
"Now go ahead and let everyone know who is really the strongest in this dojo, who the true champion is."
"Okay...okay, Master You You! I'll let everyone know... I definitely will."
Although the Talent "Swayed by Reason" was not activated, this ti ng Qing was truly persuaded by Fang You.
Gratitude and respect filled her eyes.
And Fang You too enjoyed this feeling of guiding and the aningful atmosphere it created.
[You now know what it feels like to have a proud disciple, knowledge energy 100]
