“Hey, I thought you were dead. Only showing up now.”
Seeing Wan Yunting walk over and sit beside her, Niu Qiuling grumbled impatiently.
“Don’t even mention it. That junior brother took a wrong turn and made a big detour to get here.”
Wan Yunting sat down and sighed helplessly. He looked at the number one ring below the stadium where Kang Nuolan and Pu Enhui were confronting each other, and asked, “How is the match going?”
“Not good. Hua Du University only has one male student who got second place in the advanced level. The other students lost, and now only the female student on stage remains.”
“But she knocked out a girl from the island country in the previous round, so I think she should win this one!” Wu Qing leaned forward and turned to say to Wan Yunting, who was separated by Niu Qiuling.
Clearly, this guy was excited watching the match.
“Of course, she’s my disciple. How could she not be formidable?”
Wan Yunting nodded and chuckled proudly. He casually picked up Niu Qiuling’s mineral water, opened it, and took several gulps. This angered Niu Qiuling, who glared at him and snatched the bottle away from his mouth. “Did I ask you to come here to watch the match?”
“Nonsense, I’m here to watch my disciple compete.”
Wan Yunting shot her a glance and shifted his gaze back to the match on ring number one.
“Stop watching. Tell us quickly, what is Ling Xianzong doing now?” Niu Qiuling urged.
“Nothing much.”
Wan Yunting replied without turning his head, “He’s negotiating with that person named Pu Shengyuan this afternoon. If their talks succeed, they will naturally release Ling Xianzong’s son. If they fail, they will directly go to war!”
“Go to war directly?”
Niu Qiuling’s eyes widened. Wan Yunting glanced at her and continued watching the match, saying, “Let them fight if they want to. Anyway, this is H country, why are you bothering yourself with so much? As long as I gain Ling Xianzong’s trust, I’ll infiltrate his organization as a spy when we return to our country and carry out our plan!”
Niu Qiuling nodded. After all, their purpose in coming to H country this time was to help Ling Xianzong rescue his son and gain his trust.
“By the way, Mr. Wan, you haven’t met Pu Shengyuan yet, have you?”
As Wu Qing spoke, he pointed below to the Seoul University team’s resting area. He indicated Pu Shengyuan, who was sitting on a chair surrounded by five subordinates, smoking a cigar while watching the match. “This is Pu Shengyuan. And the person competing against our Hua Du University female student on the stage is his daughter, Pu Enhui!”
Wan Yunting was startled. He looked at Pu Shengyuan below and then at Pu Enhui confronting Kang Nuolan on the stage. “What a coincidence?” he exclaimed.
“Yes, we just found out too,” Wu Qing replied.
As he spoke, Wan Yunting carefully examined Pu Shengyuan. Judging by his appearance, he wasn’t a good person…
On ring number one.
“Hmph, you little brat, you’ve made me angry.”
At this moment, Pu Enhui’s eyes were wide with rage as she pointed at Kang Nuolan in front of her and shouted, “I will break both your legs and make sure you can never practice our Taekwondo again.”
Facing Pu Enhui’s taunts, Kang Nuolan remained calm and composed. Suddenly, she casually glanced back towards the last row on the east side of the stadium. A familiar figure made her heart skip a beat. She immediately focused her gaze, and saw Wan Yunting sitting there smiling and waving at her.
“Teacher…”
Confirming it was her teacher, Kang Nuolan was overjoyed. A smile involuntarily bloomed on her pretty face. Although her head protector obscured it, others couldn’t see her smiling, but she was exceptionally happy at that moment, having not expected Wan Yunting to come.
“Aish!”
Seeing her staring blankly towards the east side, Pu Enhui felt completely ignored. This enraged her, and she immediately unleashed her ultimate move, a flying spinning back kick…
“Enhui has used her signature move! This Chinese girl is finished…”
Li Guangjie and the others below the ring excitedly shouted when they saw Pu Enhui use her flying spinning back kick.
After all, Pu Enhui’s most formidable move was her flying spinning back kick. It was not only fast but also incredibly powerful. Even Cui Yingsheng wouldn’t dare to block this move from her.
Therefore, they could all vividly imagine the scene of Kang Nuolan being brutally defeated…
However, reality did not unfold as they predicted. Kang Nuolan instantly withdrew her gaze from Wan Yunting, her sharp eyes narrowed. With lightning-fast reflexes, she ducked and rolled to the other side of the ring, causing Pu Enhui’s flying spinning back kick to miss its target…
“How is this possible!”
“She… she actually dodged Enhui senior sister’s ultimate move…”
Li Guangjie and the Taekwondo club students below the ring exclaimed in disbelief, their faces filled with astonishment.
Pu Enhui, who landed, quickly turned around and looked at Kang Nuolan, who had repositioned herself on the north side of the ring. Her eyes were filled with surprise. She hadn’t expected this Chinese brat to actually dodge her flying spinning back kick.
In countless matches before, Pu Enhui had directly knocked out her opponents with this signature move.
But now, Kang Nuolan in front of her had easily evaded it, which deeply shook Pu Enhui and left her unable to remain calm…
“This Chinese female contestant is not simple!”
The head coach Quan Wuzhong and Cui Yingsheng below the stage frowned, realizing that Pu Enhui had encountered a formidable opponent this time.
This caused a stir among the local students. Everyone had assumed Pu Enhui would easily win this match. However, seeing that her three attacks had failed to defeat Kang Nuolan, it sparked discussions among everyone present…
Kang Nuolan on the stage turned her head and looked again at Wan Yunting, who was sitting in the last row on the east side. She feared she might have hallucinated earlier. Now, confirming her teacher was indeed there to watch her competition, her heart filled with joy, as if she had found a pillar of support.
“Fight well!”
Due to the noisy environment and the distance, Wan Yunting could only mouth his encouragement to Kang Nuolan.
She nodded, then withdrew her gaze from Wan Yunting. Facing Pu Enhui, who had just completed her three moves, Kang Nuolan adopted an offensive stance and calmly said, “Now it’s my turn!”
“Hmph, you little brat, go ahead.”
Pu Enhui was enraged, believing that the other party had only narrowly dodged her killer move by chance.
Instantly, Kang Nuolan’s sharp eyes widened. At this moment, her entire demeanor erupted. Like a hunting leopardess, she lunged forward. With a kick of her left foot, she launched a flying back kick towards Pu Enhui’s chest. The speed was so astonishing that everyone present couldn’t help but gasp…
Even Pu Enhui felt a jolt of fear, but being a level four blue belt master, she reacted immediately. She quickly raised her hands to protect her chest, forced to take Kang Nuolan’s kick head-on.
Because she was too fast, she didn’t give Pu Enhui any opening to counterattack…
But in the next second, her expression changed drastically. Intense pain shot up her forearms, causing Pu Enhui to let out a scream. She was sent flying backward as if hit by a car, landing heavily on her back, rolling twice like a barrel before finally sitting down with a thud.
Instantly, Pu Enhui was stunned. Her chest felt tight, her forearms trembled, and her eyes stared blankly at Kang Nuolan, who stood before her with a cold and calm gaze…
“Hmph, Enhui senior sister…”
“How could this be…”
“An illusion, it must be an illusion…”
The entire stadium erupted in a frenzy. Everyone stared in disbelief at the stage, at Pu Enhui being kicked out of bounds, unable to accept this reality…
Pu Shengyuan, sitting in the resting area, stood up at this moment, his eyes fixed on his daughter on the competition floor and the Chinese female contestant. His face was grim as he grunted, “This little brat, does she not want to live anymore!”
“China, three points!”
Then, the referee raised his hand and announced Kang Nuolan’s victory by three points, as Pu Enhui had been kicked outside the competition boundary.
It was only then that Pu Enhui snapped back to reality. She looked down and saw that her bottom was right outside the outer boundary line of the ring. Immediately, her face contorted with fury. She scrambled to her feet, her eyes spitting fire, and shouted angrily at Kang Nuolan, “You little brat, I’m going to kill you…”
As she spoke, she charged forward, her mind clouded by anger, launching a series of rapid and fierce attacks at Kang Nuolan…
“Hmph, Enhui senior sister is counterattacking…”
Seeing this, the entire crowd immediately cheered loudly again. Witnessing Pu Enhui’s continuous and fierce attacks, which forced Kang Nuolan to retreat, pushing her to the very edge of the outer boundary line, made everyone believe Pu Enhui was about to win, and they shouted excitedly, “Go Enhui senior sister, defeat her…”
However, Wan Yunting, sitting beside Niu Qiuling, shook his head and chuckled, “This H country contestant’s psychological fortitude is truly poor.”
“But I don’t see your female disciple being that great either. Look, she’s been retreating the whole time.”
Niu Qiuling pointed at Kang Nuolan on the stage, who was constantly retreating defensively against Pu Enhui’s rapid attacks. Wan Yunting glanced at her and sneered, “What do you know? This is called advancing by retreating. She’s looking for an opportunity to defeat her with a single move!”
Seeing that she had said he didn’t understand, Niu Qiuling rolled her eyes at him and then asked, “By the way, when did you take on another female disciple?”
“Does that have anything to do with you?” Wan Yunting smugly glanced at her.
“Tch, I don’t care about your business.”
Niu Qiuling withdrew her gaze and said dismissively, “I’m just worried, you pervert, that you have designs on that young girl!”
Wan Yunting turned his head and shot her a glance, smiling as he pointed to his own nose, “Do I look like that kind of person?”
“Yes!”
“…I can’t be bothered to talk to you.”
Wan Yunting waved his hand and continued to focus his gaze on the match…
