Chapter 39

“Monk, what do you think?” Huang Quan shouted loudly.

Then he waved his Armament-equipped arm and attacked. But Zhi Zhang didn’t fight him head-on and instead retreated in an orderly manner.

After a few rounds, Huang Quan didn’t even touch the corner of his clothes. Instead, he even suffered a few punches.

Even Ye Daying, who didn’t know any combat techniques, could tell that Zhi Zhang was indeed an expert. His technique was completely superior to that of Huang Quan, but his strength was lacking.

Just as Huang Quan said before, he would be fine even if he resisted ten punches from Zhi Zhang, but Zhi Zhang would be defeated as long as Huang Quan punched him just once.

“Monk, can you do it?” Lin Qing urged. “We still have to hurry.”

Upon hearing Lin Qing urging him, Zhi Zhang gritted his teeth. He no longer dodged and took the initiative to attack Huang Quan. His footsteps changed unpredictably as he kicked Huang Quan three times in a row.

“Have a taste of my Life-Seizing Consecutive Kicks!”

“F*ck you!” How could Huang Quan still listen to his words after suffering a loss earlier? His gaze was fixed on Zhi Zhang’s hand that was wrapped with prayer beads.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

This time, Zhi Zhang really did use his legs. He jumped into the air and delivered two kicks. Then when he landed, he turned around and lashed out with his legs, causing the air to boom.

Using the Armament on his arm, Huang Quan blocked all his attacks and chuckled. “This is useless against me.”

Then he threw a punch!

It hit Zhi Zhang’s chest!

As though he had been hit by a cannonball, Zhi Zhang saw the surrounding scenery rapidly retreat. Then his entire body smashed into a building dozens of meters away.

“Cough cough, impressive. As expected of a mining truck.”

After a while, Zhi Zhang walked out of the building weakly. There was a huge fist imprint on his chest that was a few centimeters deep.

“So, are you still going to fight?” Huang Quan crossed his arms in front of his chest and teased Zhi Zhang.

Zhi Zhang glanced at Lin Qing and said coldly, “I will fight! Will I still live if I don’t?”

Zhi Zhang bent his body slightly and took half a step back with his right foot. He entered a charging state and looked coldly at Huang Quan.

Crack!

The next second, the ground cracked open, and Zhi Zhang disappeared. He dashed until several meters away from Huang Quan and then raised his knee.

“This again?” Huang Quan frowned and silently extended his left arm in front of him.

Accompanied by a series of sonic booms, Zhi Zhang’s giant metal leg tore through the air. Just as he was about to come into contact with Huang Quan, he suddenly twisted his waist and shrunk his body as he swept his leg across Huang Quan.

Then his foot flipped over his head and smashed down heavily.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Huang Quan didn’t even have time to react before lying on the ground.

Boom!

The earth quaked. Huang Quan felt his chest constrict as his back was embedded into the pavement.

Before he could get up, Zhi Zang grabbed his arm and twisted it between his legs, forming a standard armbar.

“I advise you not to move. Otherwise, don’t blame me if your arm is broken. The more you struggle, the more force I will have, and the faster your arm will break.”

Not only was Huang Quan more powerful than him, but his defensive strength was also greater than his. So Zhi Zhang had never thought of using his strength to win. He could only resort to cheap tricks and use softness to conquer Huang Quan’s strength.

And Zhi Zhang succeeded!

As long as he wanted to, he could break Huang Quan’s arm in the next second.

But he didn’t dare to do so, as Huang Quan’s pitch-black hand was at his waist. If he broke Huang Quan’s arm, he would definitely be punched through by a fist full of rage.

Neither of them moved anymore. They were in a deadlock until Lin Qing said, “Old Huang lost, and the monk won. Congratulations!”

“I didn’t lose.” Huang Quan refused to admit defeat. When Zhi Zhang let go, he got up and protested, “I want to make a report. The referee was corrupt.”

“The crowd has the clearest perception. Why don’t you ask Little Ying whether you lost?” Lin Qing passed the responsibility on to Ye Daying.

“Cough, cough, cough. Brother Huang, you just made a mistake. It’s a draw. It’s a draw at best.”

“Exactly. I also think that it’s a tie at best.”

Looking at the two of them, Lin Qing said seriously, “There’s no such thing as a draw on a real battlefield, only life and death. The monk had his concerns when dealing with you and didn’t kill you. Otherwise, that attack just now wouldn’t have been an armbar but a guillotine.

“Even if you could have punched him before you died, he would have only been heavily injured at most. In the end, you would have still been the one to die.”

Huang Quan widened his eyes and stood rooted on the spot. He was clearly stronger than the monk, and his level was higher than the monk’s, but he never expected this outcome. He was extremely depressed.

“Why don’t we do it again? I’ll definitely win this time!”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes!”

Zhi Zhang opened his mouth wide. He wanted to say something but couldn’t. He had finally won, but Huang Quan wanted to fight him again.

No way!

How lawless!

Isn’t this bullying an honest person?

“Don’t be anxious!” Lin Qing waved his hand to comfort him. “This time, we will use martial arts to decide the vice-captain. Whoever wins will be the vice-captain, and whoever loses will be automatically allocated under Little Ying’s first squad.”

“Vice-captain?” Zhi Zhang was confused.

“You still don’t know the name of our battle team, right? We are Team Battle the Heavens!” Ye Daying said arrogantly, “Those who are not strong cannot join us. The minimum requirements are five evolutions and passing a series of tests.”

“What about you?”

“Um, I’m the exception. I can reach a speed of up to four hundred kilometers an hour, so please understand.”

Four hundred kilometers an hour… Zhi Zhang’s eyes almost fell out. Indeed, you couldn’t judge a book by its cover.

Furthermore, Ye Daying had evolved quite a few times. He had evolved four times and was a motorcycle.

This was enough to defeat 90% of Motorbots. After all, many Motorbots were still hovering around the first and second evolution.

This team is so fierce!

Lin Qing smiled at Zhi Zhang. “So, are you joining us?”

“Yes!” Zhi Zhang gritted his teeth and said, “If I win, can I really be the vice-captain and command them in the future?”

“If you’re willing to bet, you must be willing to admit defeat. Of course you can. Not only will the vice-captain be decided this way, but the position of captain will be decided by a martial arts competition in the future as well. Whoever can defeat me will become the captain.”

“Okay!” Zhi Zhang shouted, giving Huang Quan and Ye Daying a fright.

With two peak combatants in front of him, he was inexplicably excited when he thought about how they would be his underlings in the future.

“Haha.” Huang Quan sneered. After all, Zhi Zhang was still young and didn’t know how cunning Lin Qing was.

Just a slash from the Flame Devil could increase his combat power by a few levels. What was the point of fighting then?

“Get ready, both of you. You can start whenever you want to.”

Lin Qing left the battlefield and handed the place over to them.

The cold wind blew as gales howled past. The two mechas fought back and forth in an extremely heated battle.

All kinds of mysterious martial arts techniques came out of Zhi Zhang’s mouth.

“AV 18 Techniques!!”

“An Old Man’s Cart!”

“One Shot into the Soul!”

“Poison Dragon Drill!!”

“Ah!!”

After more than ten minutes of fighting, Huang Quan let out an earth-shattering shout. He was holding his buttocks and leaning against the wall with his face distorted.

A chill traveled from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

“Are you even human? How can you use such a vicious move?”

Panting heavily, Zhi Zhang held half of a steel bar tightly in his hands and said, “There are only two words in martial arts—horizontal and vertical. The winner will stand, while the loser will lie down. There are only a few rules.

“If you think my methods aren’t honorable, then don’t use your black arm either!”

The more he fought Huang Quan, the more familiar he became with his style. In this short period of time, he had been punched several times. Every punch had a force of 10,000 kilograms and almost crippled him.

If that went on, he would have surely lost, so he could only resort to his unique skill.

In the past, none of his fellow disciples had been able to withstand these 18 techniques, so everyone had praised his talent.

“Old Huang, are you still going to fight?” Lin Qing shouted.

“I-I…” Huang Quan’s face turned red. He really wanted to fight again. But the moment he saw the steel bar in Zhi Zhang’s hands, he became apprehensive.

Just now, Zhi Zhang had used a sliding kick to slide from below his crotch to his back and stabbed him with the steel bar. There had been a ripping sound, and sparks flew.

As a Motorbot, his body structure was already different from a human’s. But he still had the psychological reaction of a human and couldn’t accept being forced into a corner by another man.

He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but now that the wind was blowing, he felt a chill.
