cocky Fresh huh?” the old librarian mumbled to himself as he watched the man walk out of the library”That's the kid's name”
Every time the kid caot around to ask for his nameTheir conversations never involved pleasantries anyway; they always turned into some kind of intellectual debate about the contents of the books that the kid was returning
The oldwith his eyes until the latter reached the elevator lobbyA moment later, the old man detectedthe counter he was sitting behind
It was his grandson, Yan Hua
”What were you staring at, Grandfather?” Xiao Hua was frowning as he approached
The oldwas still waiting for the elevator
Xiao Hua leaned his side against the counter and glanced in the indicated direction
There was a sound of surprise, and it didn't sound pleasant
”You know that guy, grandfather?”
The old librarian looked towards his grandson, whose eyes held so much hatred, disdain, and jealousy
The old librarian sighed inwardlyThis spoiled brat never learns
”That's the guy I told you the other day over the phone,” the old librarian said, then chuckled”I told you he's good, Xiao Hua” The old librarian raised his brows”I suppose you believe me now, eh?”
Xiao Hua's expression turned into a scowl”What's there to believe in? I truly don't see what's so good about him”
The old librarian chuckled”Tell that to the pretty boy he just brought back to life earlier” He jerked his thumb towards his left
Xiao Hua snorted”A coincidence, that's all it isA coincidence”
After that, Xiao Hua stormed off
The old librarian shook his head”That kid is too prideful for his own good”
The old librarian followed his grandson's hed”He will fall this timeAnd he will fall hard”
Theexited the library building and stepped into the scorching hot sunMost of the cadets now sat in groups under several large, shady trees near the acade, which was located on the opposite end of the fieldLi Yundong descended the porch steps of the library building and made his way towards the fieldHe would have to cross the field to get back to the acade's attention towards the fieldThe cadets, who had been lazing around under the trees earlier, were now on their feet, and they all see place on the fieldA few cadets had even abandoned their coe their curiosity
The cadets were looking towards the area where the mats were set up, where the hand-to-hand co could tell what it was that had gotten the cadets so excited: a sparringstepped onto the large field, he zoomed in with his telescopic vision
What he saw surprised hi with an instructor? That's a little bit unusual
<small></small>Usually, students would only spar with fellow students, not with one of the instructors—unless, of course, the student was looking to get his ass kicked
He wondered which student had the balls to take on—
Li Yundong stopped short
The instructor's sparring opponent was none other than that burly guy who had given Li Yundong the death stare earlier
WellWhatever
Li Yundong resumed his journey across the field, but kept his telescopic vision activated as he walkedAd match would turn out
The instructor was a dark-skinned ; fit, albeit a bit too skinny in Li Yundong's opinionDefinitely too skinny to be taking on his burly studentNot that anybody cares about weight classes on the battlefield
The action began before Li Yundong was even halfway across the fieldBurly Dude charged straight at the instructor and went for a takedownThe ni taken down
Li Yundong frownedThat's an odd way to fight
Usually, when two experienced coht and neither of thee, they would approach each other slohich would give them the opportunity to observe their opponent to look for openings they can exploit
The hter will try to circle around their opponent in order to find a chance to attack their opponent's backThe less agile fighter, on the other hand, will favor close-quarter techniques by constantly keeping their opponent within their striking rangenobody would do what Burly Dude just did—charging in blindly without even testing out their opponent's strength and agility
Burly Dude charged again, this ti a punch at the instructor's face
The instructor dodged the punch by taking a large step backwards
Clu could tell that the punch packed a lot of pohich was strange considering this was supposed to be a friendly spar, not an all-out brawl
By the tiot the i the upper hand despite his smaller frameBased on all the , Li Yundong would also guess that Burly Dude was a practitioner of WushuA few of his straight punches were launched froNot to mention those flowery kicks he had thrown a couple of timesThere was also a matter of the stances that Burly Dude had used, which Li Yundong recognized as the Ma Bu, or Horse Stance
As Li Yundong skirted along the side of theyet another reckless punch at the instructor's chest
Thewith his skills by deftly side-stepping Burly Dude's punch and then grabbing Burly Dude's ar his center of gravity while pushi+ng his backside into Burly Dude's hipsDuring all that, the instructor never let go of Burly Dude's arrunting and pantingThe instructor was clearly trying to execute a judo hip throhereas Burly Dude was trying to prevent that by using his size to his advantage
Li Yundong kept walking
This fight was clearly overThe instructor had the upper hand since he had a lower center of gravityIt wouldn't be long before he found the leverage on Burly Dude's hips to execute the judo hip throwAnd once Burly Dude was down on the ground, the instructor could easily end the fight via a submission—a simple ar out in seconds
Li Yundong looked away from the mats and smiled to himselfThe whole situation kind of reminded him of that tie to a fight despite knowing that he was severely outclassed in terms of skill
God, I was such an idiot back then…
Li Yundong chuckled at hi on an instructor? The guy had to have souts to—
”HYAAAAHHHH!!!”
That loud roarturn aroundAnd when he did, he saw so that took him by co off ground like a ragdoll and was now flying across thetowards the sky
Li Yundong moved his feet in an instantHe ran back towards theto catch the instructor before the poor guy crashed head first into the ground and end up with a devastating neck injury
<small></s extended his ar it into some kind of invisible scoopThe Qi Kinesis slowed the instructor's fall just in tirab the instructor's body inlanded on his feet with the instructor leaning against his side, the field was roaring with the other cadets' cheers
”Whoaa!!!!”
”Feng Ji!!! That's so cool!!!”
”Holy shi+t, Feng Ji!!! You kicked his ass!”
Li Yundong released the instructor and then readjusted the straps of his backpackTurning his head, he did a quick check to make sure that the Fan of Seven Treasures was still there
”You alright, sir?” Li Yundong said, pressing a hand on the instructor's shoulder
