Marvelous Mecha

Chapter 79: The Club Challenges - Part 1 (Below)


Facing Zhengnan's tempestuous onslaught, Sheng Qiangwei deftly dodged and parried with her cotton palms. Her smooth, graceful movements resembled a swift swallow, agile and swift, yet full of explosive power.

Seeing his multiple attempts at suppressing her prove ineffective, Zhengnan decisively increased his attack frequency by a further tenth. Moving from side to side, he unleashed several hand chops toward his opponent's forearm.

"So fast!" Sheng Qiangwei was taken off guard. Realizing she was no match for Zhengnan, she knew her minor disadvantage wouldn't last long. Therefore, she resolved to give it her all. Ignoring Zhengnan's attack, she focused her attention on his lower body, geared herself up for a countersweep, and set herself up for a battle of sacrifice for gain.

The crowd below suddenly erupted into cheers; it turned out in a brawl, a woman could be even fiercer than a man.

Zhengnan was startled. She had not anticipated her opponent to go all out like this. In her hurry, she swiftly retracted her foot and moved out of the way. However, due to the forceful and hasty action, her foot landed unevenly. She let out a little squeal in the ensuing commotion, having sprained her ankle.

It was an unexpected turn of events. Zhengnan's overwhelming advantage was instantly lost, and the scales of victory suddenly tipped in the other direction.

Just as Sheng Qiangwei leaped forward, preparing to drive her opponent out of the ring, a figure faster than hers darted in, standing right in front of Zhengnan in a bullet-like speed.

Followed by a series of crisp sounds, the person not only effortlessly neutralized Sheng Qiangwei's onslaught single-handedly, but in the end, with a casual sweep of his hand, easily pushed a stumbling Sheng Qiangwei several steps back and out of bounds...

"Zhengnan sprained her ankle, so I'll be your opponent. To keep things fair, I will only use one hand," Gu Ba spoke amiably, although his eyes revealed unmistakable scorn. "To make it easier for you, your entire team can attack me together. However, it seems that you're the only one left."

Another member of the disciplinary committee had intervened. It was clear that Zhengnan had lost this battle. He tried to stop it under the guise of a noble speech that no one dared to refute. While he seemed honorable and generous, he was in fact quite shameless.

The man in question was a senior member of the disciplinary committee, whose skills far surpassed both Zhengnan and Sheng Qiangwei.

Zhengnan could at least put up a fight, but Sheng Qiangwei knew that she wouldn't even be able to withstand a few moves. Their opponent's established reputation in the organisation spoke volumes about his abilities. Whether he offered to fight single-handedly or not didn't make a difference, this was, in essence, just a disguised form of bullying.

Sheng Qiangwei was acutely aware of the large gap between their abilities. All she wanted was to be a serious member of the martial arts club, to engage in discussions and learn with others who shared her love for ancient martial arts. Her simple dream now seemed unattainable. Her pale, pretty face void of any color, she opened her mouth, a bitter taste welling up in her throat. Unable to confront him anymore, she quietly stepped down from the ring.

Seeing her reddened eyes, the fat man felt a pang of pity. This fiercely independent girl rarely showed vulnerability. In truth, she was so much more than just a strong girl.

Fat Tiger walked over to Gu Ba with a fawning smile, suggesting he cut it out because they all lived in the same place and needed to get along.

Gu Ba didn't respond, only staring coldly at the fat man. Perhaps if a few members of the elite guard had been present, he would've shown some deference. But clearly, he didn't take these newcomer students seriously.

"Uh, I'd like to join the martial arts club." Suddenly, an unexpected voice rang out, creating a stir in the crowd. Who was this fool daring to disrupt the chilling atmosphere at such a critical moment?

People turned to locate the source of the voice... in terms of looks, this person certainly passed, but it was a pity his brain didn't quite seem to be functioning.

Sheng Qiangwei and Fat Tiger both gawked. The voice wasn't unfamiliar. When Sheng Qiangwei turned around, she found that the man was staring at her with interest.

Sheng Qiangwei was momentarily speechless. "Feng, Feng, Feng..." She stammered, unable to form a complete sentence. Even though her eyes were just a little red before, for some reason, seeing Feng Yi made her feel overwhelmingly wronged. Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. Not wanting him to see her vulnerable side, Sheng Qiangwei quickly turned her head away and wiped her eyes.

"Hey, crybaby senior sister, here's something for you." Feng Yi nonchalantly threw her a fairly expensive dolphin pendant.

Sheng Qiangwei caught it, her hands shaking, trying to compose herself as much as possible. "I did not expect you to be at Wind Thunder, so, so in that case, I reluctantly accept you as a member. You're the third member. Feel, feel honored, won't you?" She said softly.

"The third member, huh?" Chewing the words, Feng Yi shook his head with a bitter smile. "Ha, truly an honor." He could still remember the time at the martial arts hall, when this enthusiastic senior sister had all but dragged him to her house, insisting he change his clothes.

Zhang Xiaobo was also stunned... his gaze fixed on Feng Yi, his eyes shining with a light that was normally reserved for seeing a beautiful naked woman. He muttered to himself, "Damn, the BOSS is here."

Gu Ba didn't recognize Feng Yi, but that didn't mean others didn't know about Feng Yi's abilities. Three other members of the disciplinary committee present had also seen Feng Yi in action, including Angelina herself. He had floored Angelina with a single surprise attack. His powerful skills and ruthless approach left no room for mercy, even for a woman. Although their fight had been short, they believed that Gu Ba didn't stand a higher chance of winning.

As someone was about to intervene, Fat Tiger didn't give them a chance. He pointed rudely at Gu Ba and roared, "You bully a girl and you think you're tough? You're an absolute lunatic, aren't you? Today, I will show you what I've got." Zhang Xiaobo spat abruptly, his previously obsequious expression instantly replaced by a look of deadly intent and steely resolve.

There was a collective gasp from the crowd... The fat fool they had seen moments ago had been replaced by someone else - a pig provoking a tiger. They were afraid the next moment would see the pig mercilessly shredded to pieces by the tiger...
