Chapter 455: Chapter 290: This, is National Arts! (Super big Chapter of 9000 words, requests for subscription)_5

"Six, five, four..."

Upon hearing the count of the referee, Sun Chengkang regained consciousness, pushing himself off the ground with both hands and arching his body upward.

At this moment, Zhao Kai was pounding his fists in the air in front of him, proclaiming he had knocked Sun Chengkang down. Once the referee finished counting, he would have completely defeated this so-called National Arts master!

However!

When Zhao Kai turned around, he surprisingly saw Sun Chengkang preparing to stand up?

"Get up, you must get up!"

"We, the people of Mist City Arts and Science University, won’t be defeated so easily."

"Sun Chengkang, keep going!"

"Sun Chengkang, you can do it! You can!"

The students of Mist City Arts and Science University in the stand saw Sun Chengkang preparing to stand up and immediately began cheering him on.

Because this is what all the students of Mist City Arts and Science University wanted to see, him standing up and fighting again!

Sun Chengkang heard his fellow students encouraging him and their hope for him to stand up and fight again.

At this moment...

The hair on Sun Chengkang’s arms stood on end.

"I can’t lose!"

Sun Chengkang told himself this countless times in his mind.

Now, with so many classmates watching him, Principal Ding was full of expectations for him. He was the hope of the National Arts major at Mist City Arts & Science University, and key to the restoration of the reputation of the National Arts of Xia Country!

He couldn’t lose!

Driven by determination, Sun Chengkang gritted his teeth and finally stood up!

"Bring it on!"

Sun Chengkang voiced these words in a tone that was sombre but powerful.

When Zhao Kai saw Sun Chengkang standing up, a smirk of disdain and respect broke out on his face.

As for the opponent who was able to stand again after being knocked down by his punch, he had to admit that Sun Chengkang was indeed resilient.

"Damn, he really stood up?"

"Is this guy not afraid to die?"

"He can still fight? Is he that tough?"

"Never expected him to stand up. This is unbelievable!"

"Keep it up, man! You’ve got my respect!"

"I thought it was over, but..."

The online viewers in various live streaming rooms were stunned when they saw Sun Chengkang stand up.

During the live broadcast of Zhao Kai’s punch, there were close-ups and slow-motion replays showing the punch landing on Sun Chengkang’s face, causing it to tremble violently and distort instantaneously.

Everyone thought that after the punch, there was no way Sun Chengkang could stand up, that he would have been KO’d instantly.

However, during the referee’s count, Sun Chengkang actually stood up!

At the moment he stood up, Sun Chengkang’s hand, for some reason, gave an uncontrollable slight tremble.

But then very quickly, Sun Chengkang understood his physical condition.

Seems reasonable!

Zhao Kai’s punch hadn’t delivered a blow severe enough to knock him out.

He could still fight!

"Thank goodness."

Ding Yue let out a sigh of relief when he saw Sun Chengkang stand up and quickly adjust his condition.

This match was really thrilling.

However...

It’s not over yet!

If Sun Chengkang were to get knocked down again, Ding Yue doubted he could get up again. He was worried if Sun Chengkang could take another punch from Zhao Kai.

What if Zhao Kai launched another swift and fierce attack like before? Could Sun Chengkang withstand it?

"We haven’t lost! We haven’t lost yet!"

Upon seeing Sun Chengkang stand up, Huang Youjie was screaming hysterically in excitement.

After all, this match was related to the honor and dignity of Mist City Arts and Science University’s National Arts. As part of the university, Huang Youjie had completely put himself in the game.

"No problem? Ready, start!"

The referee once again permitted Zhao Kai and Sun Chengkang to fight.

Since Sun Chengkang wasn’t knocked out, he was entitled to continue fighting.

Sun Chengkang assessed the force he could produce and utilized the technique of Tai Chi, "Using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds," hoping to defeat Zhao Kai faster.

Otherwise, once Sun Chengkang got caught up in Zhao Kai’s rhythm, the same situation from before would unfold again.

That is, Sun Chengkang constantly defending, leaving openings for Zhao Kai, which he would seize and take him down.

Next time, Sun Chengkang couldn’t guarantee he would be lucky enough to get up again within the referee’s countdown.

Sure enough, it went as Sun Chengkang expected.

Zhao Kai reproduced the same attacks as last time, deploying his Thai boxing techniques, footwork, leg, elbow, and knee movements to the extreme.

This intensity pressed down on the opponent like a mountain, it was so overwhelming that any regular National Arts competitor might have been mentally crushed by Zhao Kai’s aggressive offense.

But Sun Chengkang wasn’t that weak mentally.

Having experienced a defeat and being knocked down, Sun Chengkang didn’t fear Zhao Kai’s aggressive Thai boxing anymore.

Instead, he was able to respond as calmly as still water.

Sun Chengkang accurately assessed his opponent’s momentum, responded with tranquility and intent, maintaining natural breathing.

In the blink of an eye, facing Zhao Kai’s intimidating presence close to him, Sun Chengkang was agile yet composed, perfectly blending softness and hardness.

Every movement was poised and calm, flexible yet firm, with a complete internal strength that appeared impenetrable despite its softness.

No matter how vicious Zhao Kai’s attack, Sun Chengkang would no longer resort to brute strength in panic.

Every time he made a move, Sun Chengkang’s body moved as one, fluid and coordinated, where his strength might cease, but his intent never did.

As a result, he could muster his energy like a drawn bow and strike like a launched arrow, utilizing his entire body’s energy, concentrating on a single spot, aiming precisely, his energy originating from his foot, channeling up through his leg to his waist, and culminating at his fingertips, seamless and uninterrupted.

Ultimately, the seemingly gentle Tai Chi erupted with an immense force!

From a disadvantage to an advantage, Sun Chengkang turned the tables in less than three seconds. His punches were faster and stronger than Zhao Kai’s.

Zhao Kai’s Thai boxing was swallowed up by the more powerful Tai Chi.

"How is this possible!"

Zhao Kai’s pupils contracted wildly, he couldn’t believe his attack had no effect on Sun Chengkang.

Instead, Sun Chengkang’s Tai Chi punches were landing one after another on him.

And he didn’t even have time to defend himself.

Boom!

Accompanied by an almost invisible yet extremely powerful Tai Chi punch.

Zhao Kai was knocked flat on the ground.

Thud!

The sound of Zhao Kai hitting the ground wasn’t loud.

But to Ding Yue, this sound was incredibly pleasing.

"Ah!!!"

Seeing Zhao Kai knocked down by his own hands, Sun Chengkang’s fast-paced breathing nearly hit its limit. But he mustered the last of his strength and shouted, "This! This is National Arts!"

"Ten, nine, eight...four, three, two, one!"

Zhao Kai squirmed slightly on the ground, but he did not manage to get up within the countdown given by the referee.

When the last second was counted, the referee stood up, quickly went to Sun Chengkang’s side, and lifted his hand!

"Winner!"

In that moment, Sun Chengkang felt completely drained.

But his mood was truly exhilarating!

He did it!

Below the ring, Principal Ding jumped up from his seat, cheering.

"Sun Chengkang, well done!"

Ding Yue shouted at Sun Chengkang.

We won!

Sun Chengkang did not let him down, he proved with a knockout that National Arts wasn’t just fancy moves, it could really fight too!

The students of Mist City Arts and Science University, just like their Principal Ding, erupted into cheers amidst their tremendous excitement.

"National Arts!"

"National Arts!"

"National Arts!"

The beginning was all over the place, with people shouting "Awesome!", some shouting "Sun Chengkang", and some shouting "Mist City Arts and Science University".

But eventually, for some reason, everyone gradually started chanting "National Arts".

Even some of Zhao Kai’s fans couldn’t help but join in.

In an instant.

The name "National Arts" echoed throughout Mist City Arts and Science University’s gymnasium, then the student dormitories rang with loud cheers from both male and female students.

The term "National Arts" reverberated above Mist City Arts and Science University!
