Chapter 206: Chapter 206 I Admit Defeat

Xiao Qiang was taken aback.

Wang Yun couldn’t help but burst into laughter, "I’m dying of laughter, so you’re that terrible player..."

Song Qian was also full of surprise, she frowned and tugged at Wang Yun, "Wang Yun, don’t be like that."

Wang Yun then reined in her amusement, coughing twice, "Sorry about that, I just found what you said funny, it wasn’t personal."

A mocking smile appeared on Xiao Qiang’s face, and he said, "Buddy, I’m really sorry, I didn’t realize you were Jiangbei Martial Arts’s representative. What I said earlier was just what I heard from others; don’t take it to heart."

"To be Jiangbei Martial Arts Circle’s representative, you must truly have some skill, even though you’re on the younger side. But the future’s definitely promising for you. It doesn’t matter if you can’t beat those old guys this time."

Chen Fan detected endless hypocrisy in his words, but he didn’t care. After all, they weren’t on the same level, and further talk was useless.

He looked at Song Qian, "I still need to draw lots for my opponent, so I won’t talk to you any longer. We can have a meal together after the competition is over."

Song Qian quickly nodded and said earnestly, "Chen Fan, I know you’ve always been amazing. Go for it!"

Chen Fan smiled and said nothing more, then turned and walked into the Martial Arts Gymnasium.

The expression on Xiao Qiang’s face instantly turned into a sneer, "Song Qian, your old classmate sure is brave. To dare participate in a Martial Arts tournament of this level, he isn’t afraid of getting killed."

Wang Yun chuckled, "He lacks self-awareness, right? But the guy’s luck is indeed incredible—he got a bye. Now he doesn’t have to be at the bottom."

Song Qian looked at them with a cold face, "Chen Fan is much more amazing than you think. If you keep talking like this, I’ll get really angry!"

Unconvinced, Xiao Qiang retorted, "Song Qian, I reckon you’ve been deceived by his sweet talk. I don’t think he’s even as good as me. Why are you so smitten by him?"

Looking upset, Song Qian chose not to argue with Xiao Qiang and turned to walk into the Martial Arts Gymnasium.

Seeing this, Xiao Qiang hurriedly followed, "Hey, Song Qian, don’t be mad. Alright, I won’t say it anymore. And you know I like you. I said it because I was annoyed to see you admiring that guy."

Song Qian replied decisively, "Xiao Qiang, I’ve told you before; there’s no chance between us. Stop having ideas about me."

Xiao Qiang said with a smile, "As long as I persevere, you will surely be touched by me."

But inside, he was cursing like mad, "Bitch, if I didn’t think you were attractive and wanted to sleep with you, do you think I’d bother sweet-talking? If you push me too far, I’ll just drug you and have you kneeling on the bed, begging for mercy!"

...

Chen Fan arrived backstage.

Li Chengfeng and the seven other masters who competed yesterday had all gathered.

Seeing that Chen Fan had no intention of giving up on the Martial Arts tournament, Li Chengfeng shook his head silently.

Without hesitation, he stepped forward and announced, "This morning, you eight will decide the top four. Now let’s draw lots to select opponents."

A staff member came forward with a box in hand.

Everyone took a piece of paper from the box.

Sun Xiaotian and Huo Liancheng were praying inwardly, "Please don’t let me draw Chen Fan, please don’t let me draw Chen Fan."

"The ones with matching numbers are opponents. Please reveal the numbers you’ve drawn," Li Chengfeng said.

The participants unfolded their papers.

Chen Fan glanced at the number on his own paper, which read number 3.

Anxiously, Tang Yuanshan walked over and asked, "Mr. Chen, which number did you get?"

Chen Fan said indifferently, "4."

Tang Yuanshan let out a sigh of relief, "Good, good, I’ve got number 3, so it looks like I’m safe this round."

Chen Fan couldn’t help but laugh, thinking, do you really fear me that much?

At this time, Sun Xiaotian and Huo Liancheng also came over.

Sun Xiaotian asked Tang Yuanshan, "Tang, what number did Chen Fan draw?"

Tang Yuanshan said with a smile, "4."

Sun Xiaotian let out a sigh of relief, "That’s great, I drew number 2."

Huo Liancheng, however, was frozen.

Sun Xiaotian laughed a few times before realizing something was off, turned to look at the solemn-faced Huo Liancheng, patted his shoulder, and said, "Take care."

Huo Liancheng gave a wry smile but ultimately did not say anything, only letting out a resigned sigh.

Li Chengfeng found Huo Liancheng’s expression peculiar, thinking, shouldn’t he be happy to have drawn Chen Fan? Why does Huo Liancheng look like he’s facing his doom?

He didn’t think much of it and declared loudly, "The battles will proceed according to the numbers drawn. Let’s start."

Soon, the first group of contestants left the backstage to begin their competition.

The first three matches ended two hours later.

The winners were Han Zhen from the Han family in Zhongzhou, Sun Xiaotian, and Tang Yuanshan.

The fourth match began.

Chen Fan and a downcast Huo Liancheng stepped onto the arena.

The audience immediately erupted into cheers.

However, most of the cheers were for Huo Liancheng.

Many in the audience lost their enthusiasm upon seeing Chen Fan.

"This match isn’t going to be interesting, just that kid getting beaten up, no suspense at all."

"Indeed, the outcome of this match is too easy to guess, boring."

...

Tang Wenxuan and Tang Qingwu, hearing the surrounding discussions, showed a touch of smugness on their faces.

"Wait until Mr. Chen makes his move, then you’ll see how powerful he is," Tang Qingwu thought to herself silently.

Xiao Qiang sneered as he watched Chen Fan on the stage, "Once this kid gets beaten to a pulp, Song Qian should lose all interest in him, and then I can make my move to capture her heart and get to experience her flavor at the hotel."

Wang Yun clicked her tongue twice, "I was quite interested in him when I heard Song Qian talk about this guy before, but seeing him like this, I wouldn’t care for him even if he threw himself at me."

Song Qian, on the other hand, clenched her fists and silently cheered for Chen Fan, "Chen Fan, you can do it!"

But it was clear that her eyes carried a hint of worry.

Li Chengfeng approached the vicinity of the arena, looked up at it with his hands behind his back, and murmured, "Hopefully, today’s fight will make him realize his situation."

On the stage.

Chen Fan looked at Huo Liancheng with a calm face, while Huo Liancheng was nervously looking back at him, not wanting to fight at all.

Seeing his reluctance, Chen Fan said, "You don’t need to be so tense, we’re just sparring, and we’ll stop when a point is scored. Just bring out all your strength for a match with me, I won’t kill you."

Huo Liancheng chuckled awkwardly and replied, "I appreciate your kindness, but I think it’s better if we don’t fight to avoid causing offense."

Then he looked towards the referee’s direction, raised his only remaining hand, and shouted loudly, "I surrender!"
