Chapter 809: Chapter 815: Falling Behind (Double Chapter)
"Ten!"
"Nine!"
Just as Gu Chen counted down two numbers, Zuo Dahai, with a peculiar expression, interrupted him and asked,
"What’s the point of counting ten numbers? Are you suggesting that you won’t take action if you don’t reach ten?"
"Or are you saying you want us to apologize or something?"
"Of course, apologizing is absolutely impossible!"
With his question, everyone present, except Gu Chen, realized this issue.
Gu Chen snorted coldly, "Even if you kneel and beg for mercy, I’ll still make a move!"
Zuo Dahai suppressed his anger and calmly said, "So you’re saying that counting to ten is completely pointless!"
Gu Chen ignored him and continued counting,
"Eight!"
"Seven!"
"..."
Among the group from No. 3 High School, "...."
They thought to themselves, could this guy be a fool?
Only Lin Xi knew that his brother-in-law was definitely putting on a show in front of him, or perhaps trying to create pressure on the opponent.
But clearly, instead of feeling pressured, the opponent was getting angrier.
Still, it did serve to unsettle the opponent’s mindset, which would be somewhat helpful for the upcoming fight.
Especially since he could tell that the short guy on the opposing side should be at the level of an intermediate special forces soldier, a notch above Gu Chen.
If both of them were in peak condition, Gu Chen would likely not be able to beat him.
But that guy had just taken down eighteen people from No. 2 High School, so his strength was already cut by more than half.
Now, Gu Chen had a better chance of winning.
However, if he were to fight eighteen of them alone, his chances of winning would be slim.
The group lying on the ground from No. 2 High School each showed a glimmer of hope on their faces, but also a trace of worry.
They knew Gu Chen was formidable, but the guy who had just beaten them was also very skilled.
It was going to be a fierce showdown!
In the next moment, Zuo Dahai, Fu Hui, and the other eighteen people centered around the short guy and faced Gu Chen!
"Brother, why not let us test his strength first?" suggested Zuo Dahai to the short guy at this moment.
Although they thought Gu Chen was at most as strong as Duan Hu, or maybe even stronger, it was always good to test the waters first!
The ancients said, know yourself, know your enemy, and you shall win a hundred battles!
Watching as Gu Chen shouted "1" and then walked towards them, the short guy gave a cold smirk and said,
"Just stand back and watch, I’ll have him on the ground begging for mercy within five moves!"
Saying this, he confidently and even with a slight disdain, walked forward.
As they walked, the momentum from both sides continued to escalate.
At that moment, the previously indifferent or contemptuous expressions on their faces immediately became serious.
From the momentum, it could faintly be felt that both of them were at the level of special forces soldiers.
Whether they were junior, intermediate, or senior special forces, it was still something they couldn’t quite discern.
Just as this thought crossed their minds, the distance between the two was only two meters!
In an instant, their silhouettes overlapped, moving so fast it was hard to see their actions clearly.
The crowd present, especially those from No. 2 and No. 3 High School, were stunned by the duel between the two.
"This is incredible!"
"I don’t think I could withstand even one move!"
"It seems like he held back when dealing with us earlier!"
"I believe our No. 3 High School will definitely win!"
"I believe our No. 2 High School will definitely win!"
"..."
There was clearly a complete divergence of opinion between the parties.
As Gu Xiaoxian, Gu Chen’s sister, she was completely shocked; she never imagined that her brother had become so formidable!
Initially, she thought that with Lin Xi there, no matter how much trouble her brother caused, everything would be fine!
But the current situation was completely unexpected for her, especially since Lin Xi never mentioned anything while strengthening his body.
Furthermore, with them both busy with their own schools, even when returning home, Gu Chen didn’t practice there.
At the same time, she was very worried now, because that short guy also seemed incredibly skilled, and her brother was in a tough battle with him, unable to determine a winner right away.
Considering that the short guy had just fought a battle and used up a lot of energy,
If he was in peak condition, wouldn’t her brother be in danger?
At this moment, she looked at Lin Xi with great concern, "Lin, Lin, Lin... Lin Xi, will my brother be okay?"
Lin Xi directly held her slightly trembling hand and said, "You don’t need to worry about your brother, he can handle it!"
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoxian’s anxious expression slightly improved.
She had never doubted Lin Xi’s words.
In front of Gu Chen and the short guy, the two were fighting fiercely.
They seemed to have met their match, with no clear winner until the very end.
Gu Chen’s moves were rather unruly, without any clear methodology, relying mostly on instinctive reactions to fight.
Of course, the Soft Fist techniques Lin Xi taught him were also occasionally used.
However, he wasn’t that proficient, since it was different from practicing alone.
Besides, this was his first real combat using Soft Fist techniques.
If not for that, he might already have been defeated by the short guy.
The short guy clearly came from a strong background as his moves were systematic and advanced for an ordinary person!
But he had two disadvantages: one being his lack of fighting experience and the other that dealing with the eighteen people from No. 2 High School had consumed much of his energy, causing him some injury.
