Zhang Tiezhu felt frustrated because he didn't win the first time, and now he was determined to secure a victory. His imposing figure stepped forward as he said to Jiang Dong, "Let's compete."
Seeing Zhang Tiezhu's robust physique, Jiang Dong thought to himself, "Big guy, with that build, are you really worried about not placing? You should wait until I get second place before stepping up!" However, he kept this thought to himself since he was still a vice-captain.
"Come on!" Jiang Dong waved at Zhang Tiezhu.
As Jiang Dong took a step forward with his right foot and raised his fist to strike Zhang Tiezhu, Zhang Tiezhu suddenly looked at him and exclaimed, "Xiang Xiang, you're here!"
"Xiang Xiang." Jiang Dong retracted his fist and turned around happily, only to find no one there. He felt tricked—this was bad.
Zhang Tiezhu quickly moved in and grabbed Jiang Dong in a bear hug. With a strong grip, Jiang Dong felt himself being squeezed. "Are you going to surrender?" Zhang Tiezhu said cheerfully. The person he had caught still wanted to escape; unless they were as slippery as Chen Haoxuan, no one could get away from his grasp.
"You cheated! This isn't even a competition; you're just being unreasonable," Jiang Dong protested angrily.
"This is what Boss taught us. He said that in a fight, no matter what methods you use, if you win, you're the victor," Zhang Tiezhu replied with a silly grin while tightening his hold.
Jiang Dong felt like his body was being squished by Zhang Tiezhu. If he couldn't fight back because of this, he would miss out on tomorrow's competition. Losing face was one thing; he just wanted to be able to participate. Feeling wronged, Jiang Dong thought to himself.
Finally unable to endure any longer, Jiang Dong shouted, "Stop! I concede."
"Now that's more like it!" Zhang Tiezhu happily released Jiang Dong.
"Shameless," Jiang Dong said as he raised his middle finger at Zhang Tiezhu in frustration.
"You should feel honored; losing to someone as shameless as me is still an honor," Zhang Tiezhu boasted without caring how Jiang Dong viewed him.
Chen Haoxuan gave Zhang Tiezhu a thumbs-up and laughed, "That move is great; impressive!"
Next, everyone who wanted to compete tomorrow took their turns until noon, when the rankings were finalized. The first place was Lin Hao, while the other first place was Yang Lin, but he was in last place.
Chen Haoxuan told them all to take a shower, and after they finished, they rested in the dormitory. He had gifts for them.
Chen Haoxuan drove away from Chen Family Village to New City’s Clothing Factory to pick up the clothes he designed, a total of one hundred sets. He sped over and retrieved the clothes in just over half an hour.
Chen Haoxuan instructed the security guard on duty at the entrance to carry the clothes into Lin Hao's dormitory.
Seeing Chen Haoxuan arrive, their teammates were holding several boxes. Lin Hao and the others gathered around, and Jiang Dong curiously asked Chen Haoxuan, “Boss, what are these?”
“You all need to take off your clothes and change into the outfits inside these boxes along with shoes, gloves, belts, and sunglasses. Each item has your name on it, so don’t mix them up. If they don’t fit, don’t come looking for me,” Chen Haoxuan said, pointing at the boxes on the floor.
“Yay! Boss is really amazing; he’s giving us so many clothes after just six months,” Lin Hao exclaimed excitedly.
They all took off their clothes and found their named outfits in the packaging. They put on fitted black shirts, loose pants, stylish belts, cool high-top boots, impressive sunglasses, and trendy fingerless dance gloves. Once Lin Hao and the others were fully dressed in this gear, their demeanor changed; they looked like a group of proud individuals.
“These outfits look great,” Yang Lin remarked as he examined his attire.
“I had someone go through a lot of trouble to get these for you, so you should cherish them. Tomorrow I want you to wear this gear for the competition. We need to make a strong impression when we step out. By the way, these clothes are meant for showing off and attracting attention; if you’re not confident during the competition, don’t wear the sunglasses, got it?” Chen Haoxuan reminded them.
“Understood, Boss,” Lin Hao and the others replied happily.
“Alright then, everyone rest well today. Tomorrow I’ll take you to Majesty,” Chen Haoxuan said confidently.
“Okay!” Lin Hao and the others responded excitedly. They thought to themselves that having a boss like this was enjoyable—selflessly teaching them things, providing good food and accommodation while always considering them as brothers.
Chen Haoxuan returned to the living room on the second floor of his villa. He took out a laptop and logged into New City University’s student website. He saw that all the discussion topics were about him; most people believed he would lose because Junichi Matsui brought along very skilled individuals who were all famous Karate experts.
Chen Haoxuan saw so many people not believing him, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, saying, "Could it be that the Chinese people are really that bad? Even their own countrymen don't believe them. It's one thing not to believe, it's another not to support, but why do they still criticize me for being ignorant of the world?"
Chen Haoxuan browsed some forums, and the more he read, the more upset he became. So he decided to stop looking and went to sleep to catch up on the rest he had missed over the past few days.
On October 10th, the day finally arrived. New City University was packed with people, most of whom were citizens, and some had even come from out of town specifically to watch the competition. Originally, classes were scheduled at New City University that day, but upon seeing the situation, the principal decided to cancel classes for everyone.
Initially, the principal of New City University was against holding a martial arts competition at the school. However, after considering that this could help raise the school's profile, he agreed.
The competition venue was set at New City University. Soonji Ichirou and his friends arrived early and waited. As it reached 9 o'clock and Chen Haoxuan still hadn't shown up, many spectators began to protest.
Soonji Ichirou's friends were particularly eager to leave. They were all people of status who were used to others waiting for them. Today, they had come early at Soonji Ichirou's suggestion, which left them waiting for someone else—how embarrassing!
"Ichirou, where is Chen Haoxuan?" asked a tall and slender person sitting next to Soonji Ichirou. His beard was unique to Island Nation; his name was Ando Taichi, a senior of Soonji Ichirou and several times more skilled than him.
"I'll call him right now," Soonji Ichirou replied respectfully to Ando Taichi.
Soonji Ichirou took out his phone and dialed Yang Lin's number. At that moment, Yang Lin was riding a motorcycle with Chen Haoxuan towards New City University! He felt his phone vibrating in his pocket. Balancing with one hand on the handlebars, he took out his phone without checking the screen and directly pressed the answer button: "Hello, who is this?"
