Chapter 25: One Punch Is All It Takes

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Although Chen Fan had defeated Ji Xingyu with a single strike, everyone still had their money on Si Yinxia, after all, Si Yinxia had cultivated quite an influence among students.

Even Chang Wen was no longer nervous about the fight.

“I should have faith in Si Yinxia. He had defeated another challenger years ago who had won a medal in the National Martial Arts Academy Tournament. If he could defeat a medalist, he should be able to handle this no account.”

With this in mind, she gave Chen Fan a look of disdain.

“Defeating Ji Xingyu means nothing. Si Yinxia is much more skilled than Ji Xingyu.”

Of all the people inside the gym, only Si Yinxia and Coach Wu knew how powerful Chen Fan really was.

Coach Wu regarded Si Yinxia with a solemn face. Seeing the resolution in the boy’s eyes, he heaved a sigh and then announced, “Fine, there is no rule that forbids the students from challenging each other. Just be careful while you’re at it” Couch Wu gave Chen Fan a chilling glance as he spoke. It was evident that Chen Fan previous remark about Taekwondo had rubbed Coach Wu the wrong way.

Therefore, not only did he not stop the fight, but he also wished that his favorite student would teach the arrogant new-boy a lesson.

“Come on.”

Si Yinxia shouted to Chen Fan as he sauntered to the middle of the stage, and he was greeted by a wave of cheers. While wearing a set of clean and unwrinkled Taekwondo uniform, Si Yixia looked tall and handsome like a main actor from the “Young and Restless.”

Standing before Si Yinxia, Chen Fan measured only one meter and seventy centimeters and was of ordinary appearance. If he were in the “Young and Restless,” Chen Fan wouldn’t last two episodes.

Those who were not convinced that Si Yinxia was going to be the winner, they wished so. They wanted Si Yinxia to reinstill some perspective into the boy’s mind by kicking his a.s.s.

“Let’s do it now!”

Chen Fan kept his back straight as he linked his arms behind him, looking as haughty as a martial arts master in the Wuxia movies.

Si Ying snorted out his disdain for Chen Fan’s arrogance.

Although Si Yinxia was not as outspoken as Ji Xingyu, he was as proud of his prowess as the latter, if not more so. He mostly kept things to himself, not because he was a quiet person, but because of his deep narcissism.

Chen Fan’s haughty posture was a blatant taunt, and it spurred Si Yinxia’s anger.

Si Yinxia snarled at Chen Fan and charged out. When he closed in, he suddenly spun his body and delivered a roundhouse kick.

Si Yinxia’s right feet traced a two hundred and seventy-degree arc in the air. Carried by momentum, his waist carried on the motion and drove the kick forward like a whiplash of a dragon’s tail. Even before the kick landed on its target, Chen Fan felt a stinging sensation on his face from the charged air.

“Interesting, Si Yinxia is much more powerful than I thought.” Chen Fan was slightly surprised by the display of power.

Si Yinxia was not only a powerful taekwondo fighter, but he was a player on the school basketball team and had good looks. No wonder, so many girls hearts skipped a beat at the sight of him.

After the girls saw Si Yinxia’s perfect execution of a difficult move, they couldn’t help but scream in excitement.

Even Coach Wu applauded for Si Yinxia in his mind as he reckoned that even he would not be able to deliver the attack to such a degree of perfection.

“I am afraid Si Yinxia is already at Fourth-Dan of the Black-belt “Coach Wu marveled in his mind.

There were less than five people in Chu Zhou’s Taekwondo community that had reached the Fourth-Dan. According to Si Yinxia’s current level of skill, he should be able to get into the quarter-final matches at the National Youth Taekwondo Compet.i.tion.

“How I counter this attack?” Coach Wu calculated his moves vicariously through Chen Fan’s body. He wagered that his best option would be to step back to cus.h.i.+on the brunt of the attack. However, he also realized that his defensive strategy was flawed. Once he gave in before Si Yinxia’s initial aggression, he would have to deal with insistent follow-up attacks. It would only be a matter of time before he slipped up and let Si Yinxia land a solid blow.

However, to Coach Wu’s surprise, Chen Fan didn’t back down. Instead, he simply raised an arm and blocked Si Yinxia’s kick with ease. All the while, Chen Fan’s face held a faint and relaxed smile.

“How is this possible?” Si Yinxia furrowed his brows and was disheveled by the development.

“Again!” Si Yinxia growled under his breath. He jerked his leg back and spun his body to shoot another roundhouse kick at Chen Fan with the other leg. After his second kick was blocked as easily as the first one, Si Yinxia didn’t give up. Instead, he kept on kicking and delivering six roundhouse kicks in a row.

These stationary kicks required skills that only a few black-belt fighters possessed.

“Bam! Bam! Bam!”

After the wave of continuous attacks, Si Yinxia was finally exhausted, and he paused to take a breath.

While panting heavily, he saw Chen Fan’s stance didn’t change at all. He had blocked all the attacks with only one arm.

“s.h.i.+t!”

Coach Wu’s heart sank as he realized that he had underestimated Chen Fan’s strength.

The voices of Si Yinxia’s supporters were diminis.h.i.+ng slowly. Even the onlookers had realized who had gotten the upper hand in the last exchange of attacks.

“Is Si Yinxia going to lose the battle?” The unspoken question was loud and clear in the air.

“You have kicked me so many times, Now it’s my turn!”
