Chapter 688: Aren’t You Nervous? Fwoosh, You Lost

When Yun Jian announced that they could start, many of those watching felt their heart’s squeeze.

Zuo Linwei shifted his sharp gaze to Yun Jian, looking the girl who dared spar with him square in the eyes.

The man was all muscles, large in size with powerful strength. He had been sculpted a long time ago. Due to his years as a mercenary, the experience and training meant that he had an upper hand in physical strength compared to Yun Jian.

While Yun Jian was skilled, her current physical ability was far lacking in comparison to her past life. In her previous life, she did not look sinewy but she was at least able to overpower Zuo Linwei. She trained daily in this life but her physical strength was nowhere near where she had been. After all, she had only been training for a little over half a year when she had been battling death for 11 years in her past life.

Simply put, abilities and strength were not achieved overnight.

“Ha!” Zuo Linwei shouted as he extended his strapping arm and sprinted toward Yun Jian, keeping strength on his hands at the same time.

Be it her previous life or the current one, Yun Jian had never been the best in physical strength. It was only a small part of her capability. Strategies and tactics were how she had always won.

Watching Zuo Linwei charge for her, she was calm and composed.

“Oh my god! I feel like the girl’s going to get crushed by Coach Zuo!” one of the guys could not help exclaiming when he saw the scene.

Everyone sucked in a breath from what they were about to witness, while Zhang Shaofeng and his company were kind of unruffled. If they were asked why they were not worried about Yun Jian losing to Zuo Linwei, that was because the girl killed the assassin ranked tenth globally, Wolf Blade, right before their eyes!

Unlike Ge Junjian who caught wind of Wolf Blade being killed by Yun Jian, Zhang Shaofeng and the rest had witnessed it with their own eyes how overwhelming Yun Jian’s skills were when she ended Wolf Blade’s life.—How could she possibly lose now?

While they knew that Yun Jian would not be defeated, they similarly could not judge if she would beat Zuo Linwei. The man was not a weak opponent as he had worked in Gale Mercenaries!

No one could possibly keep their skills as they were, similar to how one could not possibly be without improvement; without training, it was certain that one’s skill would deteriorate.

Under such circumstances, a duel would be the easiest and most direct way to select the better contender.

“Aren’t you guys nervous?” Meng Lin asked in doubt when she saw Zhang Shaofeng, Chen Xinyi and Ling Yichen were not the slightest bit worried that Yun Jian would lose.

“Heh, Sis Lin, just watch!” Ling Yichen inserted a little suspense.

Meng Lin moved her gaze skeptically to the ring, seeing that Zuo Linwei had already extended a muscly arm toward Yun Jian.

He was trying to grab Yun Jian’s arm to throw her with a flip in order to win with a move.

However, before Zuo Linwei could reach Yun Jian’s arm, Yun Jian titled her body slightly and avoided his advance in a blink of an eye like a slithering snake.

Zuo Linwei took a second to startle and attempted to overpower Yun Jian with a turn to prevent her from counterattacking. What he did not know though, was that Yun Jian was skilled for her speed, accuracy, power, and brutality.

Bending low on her side, Yun Jian slipped to the back of Zuo Linwei from his front and grabbed her butterfly knife simultaneously. Before the man could turn and overthrow her, the grip of her unopened butterfly knife was perched against where his heart was from behind.

“Fwoosh! You lost,” Yun Jian said after mimicking the sound of a blade stabbing into flesh.
