Chapter 120: A Little Trick
.
Zhu Rong really ant it when he told him to stay down, it was for his own good, but to Shi Gang’s ears, who just had been humiliated in front of the audience, it struck hard, and he lost it.
A flash of anger appeared in his eyes while his mind, already in complete chaos, was going utterly mad. Ignoring the pain coursing through his entire body, he forced himself to his feet, ready to attack the other side standing before him.
At that mont, the referee, who had been paying attention the whole ti, rushed forward shouting:
"Stop, don’t-"
but his warning ca too late, because in the next instant, an explosion of blood happened on the spot, with several points on Shi Gang’s body opening and spraying blood everywhere, staining the entire arena.
"W-what?" Shi Gang, driven by anger, launched an attack, circulating his Qi inside his body to strike, but the mont he did, he felt an explosion of pain throughout his body, pain far stronger than before.
It was so intense that he didn’t even have ti to realize what had happened. His mind, as if activating a defense chanism, decided to shut down, darkening his vision and sending him to the ground once more, this ti lying still in his own pool of blood.
As soon as that happened, a silence fell over the scene while the audience completely froze, staring dumbfounded at what was happening before them.
No one moved, as everyone tried to understand what had just happened.
Just a second ago, they had been arguing loudly about what happened at the start of the battle, and barely a few monts later, another surprise hit them, this one much more shocking than the others.
Seeing it, many gasped in disbelief, while so of the weaker first year students almost fainted from fear.
As this happened, another, even stronger, outburst occurred, and this ti even those who had been too imrsed in the other battles couldn’t help but turn their gaze to see what was causing all the commotion.
Needless to say, when they did, their expressions all changed, painted with a mix of confusion and shock at the sight of a student lying on the ground, unconscious, in a pool of blood.
His body seed mostly intact, with only visible wounds from which blood flowed into the pool beneath him.
The scene was so sudden that everyone remained frozen in place. Only when the arena referee stepped forward did everyone co back to reality, and when they did, their astonishnt turned into anger, as they all started yelling at Zhu Rong, who stood nearby with a disappointed expression on his face, sighing as if disappointed by sothing.
Seeing that, many couldn’t help but curse:
"Damn it, who is that guy? So brutal!"
"Shit, what the hell did that kid do to make his opponent end up like that? Can soone explain? I’m not getting it."
"Calm down, man, we all saw the sa thing. No idea what he did.
Damn, I’m not even sure if it has anything to do with him, after all, he hasn’t moved a single bit from his spot."
"Oi, why does that guy look familiar? I’m sure I’ve seen him before."
"Damn, isn’t he the lucky bastard who won the lottery?"
"lottery? Well, I guess he did, considering who his fiancé is..."
The crowd split into another intense conversation, so identifying the two participants, others asking the more experienced what exactly had happened.
The experienced ones, in turn, tried to find soone to ask.
anwhile, the referee who had tried to stop Shi Gang imdiately approached him and, without wasting a mont, raised two fingers and infused them with Qi, striking several points on Shi Gang’s unconscious body with terrifying speed.
Soon he stopped, and with that, the bleeding from the various wounds ceased. It was clear he had stopped the bleeding, which if left unchecked could have reached a critical point.
Even so, Shi Gang wasn’t in great shape, but despite that, the referee seed to let out a small sigh of relief before turning his gaze toward Zhu Rong, who was watching everything nearby with a disappointed look.
Seeing him, the referee didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
’Kid, did you want him dead or sothing?’
Even though he complained about it in his mind, he knew it wasn’t really the case.
Many hadn’t understood what had happened, but he did, and so he understood what the other ant when he told his opponent to stay down.
Even though it seed provocative, it wasn’t, in fact, it was the opposite.
And he realized this, so he tried to stop Shi Gang, who clearly didn’t understand and took it as a provocation.
But he was too slow, and now here he was, unconscious on the ground.
He could only shake his head while looking at Zhu Rong and said,
"Kid, where did you learn a technique like that?" Clearly understanding the full impact of an attack like that.
He was at the fifth stage, so he could clearly sense what was happening in Shi Gang’s body.
And because of this, he saw exactly what happened the mont Zhu Rong struck him in the stomach.
It wasn’t a normal hit, in fact, it was imbued with a tiny trace of Qi, which at the mont of impact targeted specific ridian points, and from there chaos was unleashed.
It was a tiny amount of Qi, but enough to take down an opponent like that.
It was a precise, clean strike, perfect in execution.
He was curious to know where did Zhu Rong had learned an attack like that.
"Ah, this is just a small trick I ran into by chance. Don’t worry about it too much," said Zhu Rong, brushing off the question as sothing minor.
’A little trick my ass! You call that a trick? A trick that can knock a third stage opponent to the ground in one hit?’
He wanted to knock a little sense into the other, but he realized that if the he didn’t want to talk about it, that was his right.
He couldn’t exactly force him, now right? and there was a more urgent situation to deal with.
Even though the blow had taken Shi Gang down and hadn’t seriously injured him, the wounds all over his body required imdiate care, or later they could beco a problem.
And so, under everyone’s gaze, Shi Gang was carried away while Zhu Rong was declared the winner.
All of this happened under the confused and shocked eyes of everyone, who still couldn’t understand what the hell had happened.
"Damn, it’s barely been a few minutes since the start of the battle," said a shocked spectator, noticing sothing.
And soon the others did the sa, followed by another wave of exclamations as everyone realized that while the others were just getting into their battles,
this battle was already over.
