"What? Then I'll fight you!"
A resonant voice rang out.
Jin Junxiu paused, and the few excitedly shouting Taekwondo members also quieted down.
All eyes in the arena turned sharply towards the source of the voice, and they saw Qin Tian standing there.
Xia Nuannuan looked up at him with surprise, her large, expressive eyes shining.
[System mission triggered: Please host, step forward and teach this person a harsh lesson, let him know he's nothing. Mission reward unknown!]
In his mind, the system also joined in the excitement.
"Isn't that Qin Tian?"
"That's right, it's our top scholar. What's he doing? Trying to steal the spotlight again?"
"Didn't he see what was happening? Does he think he's good at fighting just because he's good at studying?"
"Just wait for the martial arts club president to arrive, don't embarrass us further. We can lose to anyone, but not to a Korean!"
"Exactly, one time was enough!"
...
After the initial shock, the freshmen began to discuss with mixed expressions.
Jin Junxiu sensed the atmosphere around him and vaguely heard some voices, sizing up Qin Tian with an amused gaze.
From the looks of it, this guy was a campus celebrity among the freshmen this year!
And crucially, he was better looking than him!
Both strength and appearance were important. He had always prided himself on his male charm and detested men who were more handsome than him.
"You know martial arts too?"
Jin Junxiu asked in surprise.
"A little bit!"
Qin Tian nodded slightly.
"You're not in the martial arts club, why are you meddling?"
Jin Junxiu asked again.
"I don't like the look of you!"
Qin Tian replied with a calm expression.
"You..."
Such a direct and candid answer left Jin Junxiu momentarily speechless.
The surrounding crowd, listening to their conversation, was also dumbfounded.
"Fine, then come here and let me teach you what true martial arts are."
Jin Junxiu said with a stern face.
Qin Tian said nothing, but instead looked at Xia Nuannuan beside him.
"I believe in you, beat him!"
Before he could speak, Xia Nuannuan put on a fierce expression and clenched her small fists, waving them with great cuteness.
Of course, she was worried, but at this moment, seeing Qin Tian dare to step forward made her proud and confident, ensuring he had no worries.
Qin Tian raised his hand and placed it on her head, ruffling her hair with a doting smile.
"I'll be right back."
"Mhm!"
Xia Nuannuan affectionately pecked his head, her eyes narrowing slightly, revealing a happy smile.
The onlookers, witnessing this scene, practically had words of envy and jealousy written all over their faces.
Jin Junxiu inside, noticing Xia Nuannuan's beauty and figure, seemed to have a burning flame of jealousy in his eyes.
He had many girls who liked him and pursued him.
However, Koreans were inherently arrogant. He also always thought highly of himself and didn't fancy ordinary girls, believing only the best women were worthy of him.
Yet, in this school, the most beautiful and outstanding girls, for some reason, paid him no attention.
Seeing that this new student, whom he found so detestable, had such a perfect girlfriend, Jin Junxiu's dislike intensified.
He decided then and there to focus his attacks on the opponent's face, giving him a free facelift.
"Qin Tian, go for it!"
"Well done, we believe in you, beat him, beat him!"
...
Around them, many freshmen also cheered him on loudly.
The vast majority of these were naturally girls captivated by his charm, willing to believe in him.
As for the boys, while envious and jealous of Qin Tian's popularity among the girls, most of them were united against the outsider at this moment, wanting to see him work a miracle and defeat that Korean.
The freshmen in front parted to the sides, clearing a path for Qin Tian.
Qin Tian walked unhurriedly out of the crowd, heading towards the members of the martial arts club.
Xia Nuannuan also followed Qin Tian to the very front of the onlookers.
"Junior, don't do anything rash, our president will be here soon."
Sun Chao looked at Qin Tian as he approached and earnestly advised him with a serious expression.
Although he didn't know why this freshman had such high popularity, he didn't believe Qin Tian could be a match for Jin Junxiu, thinking he was just acting on impulse.
He didn't want him to lose to Jin Junxiu again, making the opponent even more arrogant.
"Senior, don't worry, I can do it."
A confident and cheerful smile appeared on Qin Tian's face.
Sun Chao frowned, emphasizing his words, "Don't think all martial arts are just for show, as long as you can fight well. It's not as simple as you imagine."
"I understand, senior. I saw your fight with him just now. I'm not stupid, don't worry!"
Qin Tian nodded with a smile.
Sun Chao was taken aback, his expression turning doubtful.
Could it be... this freshman really had some skills?
Qin Tian didn't say anything more to him, stepping forward and positioning himself in front of the martial arts club members.
He didn't adopt any fighting stance, just stood there casually, mimicking Jin Junxiu's earlier gesture and beckoning him.
Jin Junxiu's expression darkened, his gaze towards Qin Tian becoming even colder.
"Junior, aren't you being a bit too arrogant?"
In his eyes, the opponent not even adopting a stance, such an obvious display of not taking him seriously, was something he, with his proud and arrogant nature, could barely accept.
"Oh?"
Qin Tian smiled dismissively.
"Don't regret it!"
Jin Junxiu gritted his teeth and assumed an offensive stance, eager to land several hard punches on the opponent's face and wipe that smile off his face.
"I won't, and you can't make me!"
Qin Tian said calmly.
Such nonchalance further enraged Jin Junxiu.
"Ah!!!"
He roared and charged forward, raising his right leg high above his head, like a battle axe, and swung it straight at Qin Tian.
This move had extreme visual impact, giving the impression of immense lethality.
"Dodge quickly!"
Sun Chao shouted urgently.
Even he wouldn't dare to take such a blow head-on.
However, Qin Tian remained standing, unmoving, neither dodging nor evading.
Many girls around let out involuntary gasps, closing their eyes, unable to bear watching.
Xia Nuannuan also clenched her fists, but her absolute trust in Qin Tian made her keep her eyes wide open, watching the scene with great tension.
In the next moment, the scene and sounds that everyone imagined did not occur.
No one saw how Qin Tian did it. They only saw his right hand directly grab the opponent's descending leg, his handsome face still wearing a calm smile.
"Did you not eat? Not enough power!"
"This... How is this possible?"
Jin Junxiu's face was blank with disbelief, his eyes wide open.
Qin Tian casually pushed him.
Jin Junxiu retrieved his right leg, stumbled back several steps, and almost fell to the ground.
"Is it my turn now?"
Qin Tian said, as if disgusted by grabbing the opponent's leg, dusting off his hands.
Jin Junxiu stabilized himself, staring at Qin Tian without a word, his eyes becoming solemn.
"It's getting dark, I'm in a hurry, here I come!"
Qin Tian suddenly grinned and closed the distance with large strides.
"So fast!"
Jin Junxiu's face showed shock, and he frantically tried to retreat, but it was too late.
Qin Tian landed a seemingly ordinary "Breaking Face Punch" on his face.
The opponent hadn't been polite to him earlier. If it were anyone else, that kick would have disfigured them.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, he didn't need to be too courteous.
With such a significant gap in physical condition, and having already stunned the opponent with the first punch, Qin Tian didn't need to use any fancy moves.
He delivered a series of rapid, simple punches to the opponent's face.
Blood gushed from his nose, his eyes swelled, his mouth was askew...
The final uppercut!
Jin Junxiu, unrecognizable even to his own mother, fell backward stiffly, catching a glimpse of the dim evening sky.
