Bang—
A deafening sound.
Cheng Hong, like a kite with its string snapped, was sent flying straight out of the ring!
Immediately after, he slammed heavily onto the ground!
"Hiss!"
The new students in the audience all stood up.
Everyone’s eyes widened, a look of utter shock on their faces.
In the observation room, the family enforcers trembled as they uttered a name.
"隔山打牛 (Gé Shān Dǎ Niú)?"
"No, impossible, wasn't this move lost for ages!"
"What Zhou Yu taught Ouyang Feng and Da Xiong before was precisely this move!"
Compared to the new students, the family enforcers in the observation room had a much clearer understanding of martial arts.
Therefore, they were perfectly aware of what Ouyang Feng's strike represented!
Those family enforcers who had just commented on Ouyang Feng's poor foundation and lack of resources now had complicated expressions.
None of them had expected a boxing technique lost for ages to appear in such a small new student martial arts competition.
Swish swish swish—
Instantly, all eyes converged on Zhou Yu once more.
Ouyang Feng hailed from a second-rate family.
Such second-rate families didn't even possess ordinary martial arts techniques, let alone the exquisite, lost boxing technique of 隔山打牛 (Gé Shān Dǎ Niú).
Therefore, the move Ouyang Feng used must have been learned from Zhou Yu!
Even Patron Zhang’s gaze towards Zhou Yu held a hint of apprehension.
Before, they had all assumed Zhou Yu had no status or background.
Now, it seemed they had been too complacent.
If Zhou Yu truly lacked status and background, how could he possess 隔山打牛 (Gé Shān Dǎ Niú)?
What's more, judging by Zhou Yu's attitude, he didn't seem to place much importance on this boxing technique.
He had casually taught it to two new students…
"What are you looking at me for? Patron Zhang, didn't you say Ouyang Feng was going to fail?" Zhou Yu asked Patron Zhang with a smile, deliberately provoking him.
Although Patron Zhang was surprised by the boxing technique Zhou Yu produced.
He was also angered by Zhou Yu's attitude.
Thus, Patron Zhang twitched his beard, his lips trembling for a long time without uttering a word.
After a while, Patron Zhang flicked his sleeve, trying to save face.
"Hmph, this is only the second round, it's too early to be smug!"
With that, Patron Zhang turned and left.
The other family enforcers present, however, let out muffled laughter.
Cheng Hong was one of the favorites to win this martial arts competition.
Ouyang Feng had even defeated Cheng Hong, and as long as he wasn't too unlucky, he was sure to enter the top three!
Patron Zhang had lost face and was making excuses!
Everyone was shocked by Zhou Yu's performance.
And the one most deeply hurt was Cheng Hong himself!
The Cheng family had poured all their resources into cultivating this martial arts prodigy.
Cheng Hong had originally planned to first make a name for himself in the Dragon Group's new student training.
Then, he would seize the opportunity to find a master or something, gaining more fortuitous encounters.
Even when the second round began, Cheng Hong didn't take his opponent, Ouyang Feng, seriously.
Did someone from a second-rate family deserve to be compared to him, a heavenly prodigy?
At that time, Cheng Hong had even complained to those around him that the opponents in this match system were arranged too weakly.
Not enough to allow him to showcase his skills.
Who knew.
It was precisely this person from a second-rate family who had defeated him!
Originally, when Ouyang Feng used 隔山打牛 (Gé Shān Dǎ Niú) on Cheng Hong, he had deliberately held back his strength.
To avoid killing the person.
So Cheng Hong's injuries were not severe after flying out.
Unfortunately, due to these thoughts in his mind, Cheng Hong's throat felt a sweetness.
Pfft—
He spat out a mouthful of blood!
The Cheng family's enforcer immediately became anxious.
He quickly rushed over, helped Cheng Hong up, and rushed him to the infirmary.
Ouyang Feng, on the other hand, scratched his head, looking at Cheng Hong's retreating back, somewhat at a loss.
He had clearly held back his strength, so why did he still spit blood?
However, if he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't dwell on it.
After the referee announced his victory, Ouyang Feng calmly left the ring.
"Not bad, you kid, you even defeated Cheng Hong." Da Xiong said with a smile, patting Ouyang Feng on the shoulder.
Because Da Xiong's fight ended early.
As soon as it was over, Da Xiong came to check on Ouyang Feng's situation.
Upon seeing Ouyang Feng's brilliant performance, Da Xiong couldn't help but applaud!
"Don't mention it, I was just too unlucky!" Ouyang Feng said with a gloomy expression.
If he had been matched with someone of similar strength like Da Xiong, it would have been better.
Now, although he had fortunately defeated Cheng Hong.
He knew very well that after the third round, it would likely become difficult!
Because he had prematurely exposed his strength and trump card.
From now on, people wouldn't be as careless as Cheng Hong.
Winning would be even more difficult than it was now!
"Ay, what's there to worry about? Life is like a journey, let's go with the flow!"
"Anyway, we won today, and tomorrow's worries can wait until tomorrow."
Da Xiong said with a smile, pulling Ouyang Feng along, ready to head to the cafeteria for a big meal.
The new student martial arts competition wasn't just for one day.
It lasted for a full half month!
Don't be fooled by how fast the early rounds were, with two matches a day.
That was because, in the early stages, the number of participants was large, leading to a significant disparity in strength.
Fights were also quick.
But the further it progressed.
The closer the strengths became.
Sometimes, fights could last for half a day or even a whole day.
Moreover, in fist and foot combat, injuries were unavoidable on the stage.
Most new students needed treatment after their matches!
"Should we call Doctor Zhou to eat with us?" Ouyang Feng asked.
After all, Zhou Yu was still in the observation room; it would be impolite not to invite him, wouldn't it?
Da Xiong pouted, "If you want to torture yourself, go ahead and call him."
Previously, Zhou Yu didn't give them even a moment of free time.
It was predictable that if they called Zhou Yu to eat, after the meal, there would be another round of intense training…
Thinking of his aching body, Ouyang Feng couldn't help but shiver.
He quickly grabbed Da Xiong's arm, "Forget it, I don't think Doctor Zhou likes to eat cafeteria food. We can take Doctor Zhou out to eat after the martial arts competition is over."
With that said, Ouyang Feng hurried away.
In fact, the two of them had overthought it.
Zhou Yu didn't have the time to give them extra training.
Because Ouyang Feng's performance was simply too stunning.
As soon as the second round ended, Zhou Yu was surrounded by enforcers from various families.
Although their words were all flattering, their true intentions were written all over their faces.
They wanted to obtain some information from Zhou Yu!
They wanted to probe if Zhou Yu possessed any better martial arts techniques!
"Heh heh, these were actually given to me by the Yang family to train Da Xiong. They have nothing to do with me."
Zhou Yu deflected.
He knew the saying: "A man's innocence is not a crime, but possession of wealth can bring disaster."
Although these family enforcers were no match for Zhou Yu, it was hard to guarantee that news wouldn't spread, attracting unwanted attention!
