Wu Gang smiled, not immediately agreeing.
He turned to look at Chen Jinshao, wanting to see Chen Jinshao's reaction. If Chen Jinshao was sensible, he wouldn't need to make a move, but if he wasn't, it wouldn't matter if he did.
However, Wu Gang leaned towards not making a move.
He wasn't on the same path as Cen Binbin and his ilk. If it wasn't for his family telling him to maintain a good relationship with Cen Binbin, he might have even actively distanced himself from Cen Binbin.
"Friend, what do you think?" Wu Gang said with a smile.
Chen Jinshao withdrew his gaze from Wu Gang, finding the young man quite interesting. He was keen to spar with him to assess his caliber and see if he had any potential for cultivation.
Cen Binbin, afraid Chen Jinshao wouldn't dare to accept the challenge, added fuel to the fire, saying, "His tone just now was very arrogant. If we don't teach him a lesson, it won't do."
"Chen Jinshao, just say if you dare or not!"
Everyone looked at Chen Jinshao with smiles.
If Chen Jinshao didn't dare to fight, Xu Yaoyao would certainly look down on him, and then Cen Binbin's opportunity would arise.
But if Chen Jinshao accepted the fight, he would surely lose miserably.
He was doomed either way!
Cen Binbin felt he had everything under control, as if he could already see Chen Jinshao's pathetic state.
Chen Jinshao nodded without a word, "Alright, that's just what I was thinking."
Wu Gang raised an eyebrow. Was there really someone who wasn't afraid of death?
He glanced around the private room, then said in a deep voice, "Shall we find another place? This private room is too cramped. I'm afraid you won't be able to perform at your best, and then you'll try to back out. It won't do."
Chen Jinshao shook his head, "No need, right here is fine."
Wu Gang suddenly laughed. No wonder Cen Binbin and the others wanted him to teach Chen Jinshao a lesson. Chen Jinshao's fearless demeanor was truly asking for a beating.
"Wait!" Xu Yaoyao spoke.
Cen Binbin, fearing Xu Yaoyao would intervene, also said at this moment, "Yaoyao, didn't you say he was very powerful? You're not going to stop them now, are you?"
Xu Yaoyao glanced at Cen Binbin with disdain, saying dismissively, "Do you think I'm someone who goes back on their word? Cen Binbin, I didn't expect you to be so sordid inside. I just think the competition should be fair, just, and public. For example, we need to define what constitutes a loss, otherwise, when we start fighting, there will be no restraint."
"It wouldn't be good if your friend got hurt."
These words made Cen Binbin pause, doubting if his ears were playing tricks on him.
Would Wu Gang lose?
What a joke!
Cen Binbin gave Wu Gang the authority to decide. Wu Gang pondered for a moment and then said, "Let's not fight too brutally. Whoever falls to the ground first is considered defeated. What do you say?"
Chen Jinshao said directly, "No objections."
"Deal!" Wu Gang laughed heartily.
Up to this point, he actually began to admire Chen Jinshao a little. He was a straightforward fellow.
So he decided to go easy on him later.
Just as he was about to make a move, Chen Jinshao added another condition, "I think we can add one more rule: once the other party voluntarily surrenders, you can no longer attack."
Cen Binbin and the others burst into laughter. This was clearly Chen Jinshao leaving himself an escape route.
Wu Gang naturally did not refuse.
Chen Jinshao said to Wu Gang with a serious expression, "I advise you to go all out, otherwise you will lose miserably."
Wu Gang suddenly frowned, thinking, did he misjudge Chen Jinshao? Chen Jinshao had initially appeared upright and honorable, but now he seemed so frivolous.
Regardless!
He would defeat Chen Jinshao first. Fists wouldn't lie.
*Buzz!*
Wu Gang suddenly threw a punch, aiming for Chen Jinshao's shoulder.
If this punch landed, Chen Jinshao would surely be sent flying and have no chance to recover. There were no fancy moves, only the aesthetic of brute force combined with speed, simple and yet brutal!
Who could withstand the might of this punch?
Just as the punch was about to hit Chen Jinshao, Chen Jinshao dodged, causing Wu Gang to miss.
Huh?
Wu Gang was slightly surprised.
Chen Jinshao could actually dodge his punch!
Interesting!
It seemed he had underestimated Chen Jinshao. Chen Jinshao's words about going all out were not just boasting.
Wu Gang laughed heartily, "So you do have some skill. I misjudged you earlier. The first move was just to test the waters. I'll get serious now."
After taking two steps back, Wu Gang steadied himself and then attacked again, charging at Chen Jinshao like a wild bull.
*Buzz buzz buzz!*
Fist after fist rained down.
Chen Jinshao no longer dodged. Instead, he used his palms to block the dense flurry of punches, deflecting most of Wu Gang's force with gentleness to overcome hardness. Wu Gang was instantly shocked, knowing he had encountered a master.
Offstage.
Cen Binbin and the others' smiles were no longer as bright, and they were filled with uncertainty. Why hadn't Wu Gang been able to take down Chen Jinshao yet?
They exchanged glances, and then Qin Ze said, "Wu Gang is definitely playing with Chen Jinshao. How could someone who was favored by that mysterious special forces team be ordinary? Let's just wait and see. Wu Gang will surely surprise us."
Cen Binbin nodded, agreeing with Qin Ze's assessment.
In the ring.
The two exchanged blows more than a hundred times in half a minute.
Each time, Wu Gang launched an attack, only for Chen Jinshao to easily deflect it. As a result, dense beads of sweat, the size of soybeans, were already forming on Wu Gang's forehead.
He still couldn't understand how Chen Jinshao's reaction speed was so fast!
Having fought to this extent, Wu Gang had used his full strength. With his strength infinitely close to C-class, any ordinary person would not be able to withstand such a lightning-like assault!
Now, Wu Gang was also very sure that Chen Jinshao was definitely a C-class master!
"In the small Ninghai University, there's actually a hidden master. What are your intentions?" Wu Gang asked through gritted teeth, naturally receiving no answer. He continued, "You are indeed very strong, and you have successfully ignited my fighting spirit! I will spar with you now. Perhaps I can use you as a stepping stone to help me reach new heights!"
Wu Gang let out a low roar, his muscles bulging.
Cen Binbin and the others gasped. How did Wu Gang's muscles seem to have increased in size by a whole circumference?
Truly monstrous!
Qin Ze sneered, "Young Master Cen, Xiao Wu is about to use his true trump card. I have a premonition that Xiao Wu might even break through to another realm because of this, making his entry into the mysterious special forces team a certainty."
Cen Binbin also smiled at this.
*Bang bang bang!*
Heavy thuds echoed, like war drums beating.
Chen Jinshao also revealed some of his strength, testing Wu Gang's capabilities. Under his continuous onslaught, Wu Gang was forced to retreat, completely outmatched.
What shocked Wu Gang even more was the creaking sound from his bones, as if they were on the verge of shattering.
"You lost."
Chen Jinshao's calm voice reached his ears.
Wu Gang's heart was greatly alarmed, causing his movements to become distorted. Chen Jinshao, with lightning speed, struck him in the chest with an open palm. Wu Gang was sent flying backward, crashing into the wall, his throat suddenly feeling sweet and blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. In the stunned gazes of Cen Binbin and the others, Wu Gang fell to the ground like a puddle of mud, convulsing.
Their reliance on martial prowess had been defeated!
Looking at Chen Jinshao again, everyone's gaze was grave, even a little fearful!
