At this moment, Copper Bull stood with his legs apart. He was firmly taking the punch from Jiang Zhen. Just when Jiang Zhen was pleased, thinking he could knock Copper Bull down with one punch, he felt as if his fist had struck not the body of Copper Bull, but a wall.
After Zhang Feng lost the first match, Jiang Zhen mocked him, saying, "I hit him and he didn't even budge, as if nothing happened. Your strength is too weak. Just wait and see how I knock them down with one punch."
It wasn't until it was his turn that he truly understood why Iron Bull hadn't moved earlier while Zhang Feng was clutching his fists. There was something strange about Copper Bull.
Copper Bull looked at Jiang Zhen and said, "Are you ready? It's my turn now."
Jiang Zhen waved his hand and said, "Wait a moment." He turned to the referee, "Ren Teacher, I suspect Liu Tongniu is wearing armor or some kind of defensive gear."
Hearing this, Ren Teacher also stood up. "Liu Tongniu, is this true?"
Copper Bull looked at Ren Teacher and replied, "Teacher, I am not wearing any other defensive gear. If you don't believe me, take a look." With that, Copper Bull began to remove his shirt piece by piece.
"That's right, Liu Tongniu is not wearing any other defensive gear. Liu Tongniu, you can put your clothes back on."
Copper Bull bowed to the teacher and said, "There's no need for that. Otherwise, after I put it on, this Jiang Zhen classmate might say there's something suspicious about my clothes. I'll fight him bare-chested." He then turned to Jiang Zhen and added, "Since you said there was something in my clothes earlier, consider that last punch a gift from me. Now you can hit me back."
Copper Bull's display could be described as a blatant slap in the face; Jiang Zhen felt his face flush with embarrassment. However, this was in the Arena, and losing would bring even greater shame. With that thought in mind, Jiang Zhen steeled himself.
"Then I won't hold back." As soon as he finished speaking, he threw another punch at Copper Bull's body, feeling just as he did before. Now Jiang Zhen began to feel a bit anxious.
Copper Bull smiled at Jiang Zhen and said, "Are you ready? It's my turn." He threw a left punch straight into Jiang Zhen's chest. Copper Bull was not left-handed; he just wanted to test Jiang Zhen's strength. After the two previous punches, Copper Bull had already gauged his opponent's capabilities and knew that Jiang Zhen couldn't hurt him at all. Therefore, he used his left fist and didn't exert full force. However, this punch still made Jiang Zhen take three steps back.
Next came another punch from Jiang Zhen with the same result. Having figured out his opponent's abilities, Copper Bull no longer held back. He extended his right fist directly into Jiang Zhen's chest; this time Jiang Zhen retreated ten steps before finally stabilizing himself. Thus began a back-and-forth exchange of punches between the two. They traded a total of ten punches before Jiang Zhen could no longer withstand it; his body staggered backward for about fifteen or sixteen steps before he finally fell to the ground.
At this moment, Ma Sanbao's face turned green with worry when a deep voice came from behind him: "Young master, don't worry; I'm here." Ma Sanbao turned around and saw the speaker; it felt like he had taken a calming pill. "Alright then, help me teach those Little Guys a lesson."
"Yes, young master." With that, the person walked toward the center of the Arena. Copper Bull was picking up his clothes from the ground to put them back on. The approaching youth said to Copper Bull, "Hey, you're Liu Tongniu, right?" Copper Bull looked up while holding his clothes; this youth was about the same height as him and appeared to be a power fighter like Copper Bull. Moreover, his strength seemed far greater than that of the chubby Jiang Zhen from earlier.
"Yes, my name is Copper Bull. What's the matter?" Copper Bull asked, confused.
"Don't put on your clothes yet; it would be too troublesome to take them off again." The boy who had come over began to remove his clothes one by one, revealing his not-so-impressive muscles, along with some scars on his body.
"My name is Leihong, and I'm from the second-year Fire Class Nine. How about we change up the way we compete?"
When Leihong stepped onto the Arena and announced his name, there was a stir among the spectators below.
"That's Leihong. I've heard he's the strongest in the entire second year."
"Yeah, I heard that last semester he took on four second-year students at once and ended up knocking all of them down."
"I also heard that when he went to the north of the city, he was robbed by seven or eight kids who looked like beggars, but he scared them all away."
...
"What do you want to do?" Copper Bull completely ignored the discussions from the audience.
"Do you see the circle in the middle of the Arena?" Leihong pointed to a circle about two meters in diameter in the center of the Arena, with a character for 'ring' written above it.
"I see it. What do we need to do?"
"We both stand inside the circle. Whoever steps out loses. During the fight, no dodging and no hitting below the belt. What do you say? Are you up for it?" Leihong carefully explained the rules of their competition.
"No problem." Copper Bull agreed without a moment's hesitation.
The two young men stepped into the center of the circle and stood facing each other. When the referee, Teacher Ren, shouted "Start,"
In the center of the Arena, the two boys began to brawl, trading punches without dodging. Each punch landed on their bodies, resulting in both of them getting hit above their waists repeatedly.
The surrounding spectators closed their eyes in response; some timid girls covered their eyes with their hands. As their fierce fight continued, blood began to appear at their noses and corners of their mouths.
Liu Guanfeng watched nervously from the side: Copper Bull's body had been forged three times with Iron Skin Soup. Leihong probably hadn't used such a potion, which meant his endurance was quite impressive. If it were an ordinary child, they would have likely been knocked down by now.
The two fought for over twenty minutes when suddenly they both stopped at the same time, standing still and panting heavily. After a brief rest, they straightened their backs and began the second round of battle.
This time, they fought for nearly half an hour before both swayed slightly on the Arena and then sat down simultaneously. At this moment, both were bruised and battered. Leihong laughed heartily:
"It’s been a long time since I’ve fought this well. Liu Tongniu, you’re strong. I can’t defeat you."
Liu Tongniu looked at Leihong and replied, "I can’t defeat you either."
At that moment, Liu Guanfeng approached the Referee Teacher:
"Ren Teacher, I think we should call this round a draw; they both can’t continue."
The Referee Teacher noticed that both fighters were too exhausted to lift their hands and walked to the center of the Arena.
"I declare this match a draw. Both sides will prepare for the next match."
Liu Guanfeng and Iron Bull helped Copper Bull off the Arena and found a spot against the wall for him to rest. Copper Bull looked at Liu Guanfeng with guilt:
"Third Brother, I couldn’t complete the task you assigned me; I can’t participate in the next match."
Liu Guanfeng patted Copper Bull’s shoulder: "It’s okay; it was my oversight. I didn’t expect Ma Sanbao to find such a strong opponent. Just rest well; Bao Rui and I will handle it."
Iron Bull and I returned to the Arena. At that moment, Ma Sanbao was furious, stomping his feet in anger. He had thought that Leihong would be able to defeat all of his opponents, allowing him to step in afterward and humiliate them. But now his plans were completely disrupted; he felt uncertain about defeating Bao Rui after witnessing the previous two matches.
He pointed at the motionless Leihong on the ground and shouted angrily: "You useless piece of trash! What did you say earlier? Didn’t you say you would take care of them all? You just talk big; after fighting the first person, you’re too exhausted to get up! What good are you? If you can’t do it, then don’t come bragging in front of me!"
Although Leihong was Liu Guanfeng's opponent, Liu Guanfeng found this person's straightforward nature quite likable after witnessing his match with Copper Bull. Hearing Ma Sanbao berate Leihong made Liu Guanfeng feel uncomfortable.
After enough insults were hurled at Leihong, Ma Sanbao approached the Arena and looked at Liu Guanfeng, pointing at him:
"Liu Guanfeng, I am here today to seek justice for my subordinates. If you have the ability, come out and face me instead of hiding behind your followers. There's no need for your subordinates to come out; since I, as the master, have stepped onto the field, it’s time for you, as the master, to show yourself," Ma Sanbao declared with righteous indignation.
After hearing Ma Sanbao's words, Platinum Wen was taken aback because he knew that Liu Guanfeng, like him, was unable to cultivate. Iron Bull and Bao Rui could only shake their heads with a wry smile, thinking: this Ma Sanbao really doesn’t know how to write the word 'death' and is looking for trouble with our Third Brother.
When at home, Liu Guanfeng often sparred with Bao Rui and the others. Without using Iron Skin Soup, he could handle all three of them at once; after all, he had some cheating software. After they used it, Liu Guanfeng could still take on two of them without any issues. Iron Bull and Bao Rui could only pray for Ma Sanbao in their hearts.
Liu Guanfeng walked over with a smile: "Ma Sanbao, you a dignified Golden Class student want to directly challenge me, a Special Class student? I really don’t know if you are shameless or what. If you think that just because I am a Special Class student I am easy to bully, then today I will let you get to know what a Special Class student is really like."
After saying that, Liu Guanfeng stopped wasting words and dashed forward in a single leap. Ma Sanbao thought he was going to throw a punch and jumped sideways, but he didn’t wait for Liu Guanfeng's fist. Seeing Ma Sanbao sidestep, Liu Guanfeng already knew what he was thinking.
Because when he charged forward, he had no intention of throwing a punch; Liu Guanfeng just wanted to scare him into reacting. Once Ma Sanbao landed, Liu Guanfeng's second move was a sweeping kick that knocked Ma Sanbao down to the ground.
Ma Sanbao rolled away quickly to escape Liu Guanfeng's attack range and then stood up. After getting up, he charged straight at Liu Guanfeng and threw a punch aimed at his chest. Liu Guanfeng blocked Ma Sanbao's right fist with his left hand and then landed a punch directly on Ma Sanbao's face, causing blood to gush from his nose.
Then he grabbed Ma Sanbao by the collar and pulled him close before raising his knee into Ma Sanbao's stomach. Ma Sanbao let out a scream like a slaughtered pig and covered his belly with both hands, unable to get up for quite some time.
Liu Guanfeng watched for a moment before walking over to Ma Sanbao, grabbing his collar with his right hand and pulling him up close enough that their faces were nearly touching.
"Ma Sanbao, do you want to continue fighting?"
"No more fighting, no more fighting. I admit defeat; I lost," Ma Sanbao said through tears.
