Chapter 166: Faith Is Not Invincible

Translator: TransNEditor: TransN

The figures above the ring crisscrossed each other. Gao Rao defended blow after blow from Sun Jian, the longer they fought, the more ferocious his opponent became.

He had watched the match videos of the members in Songcheng University Martial Arts Club, and he knew how terrifying the 24 Blizzard Strikes was once it was put into play. It wasn't that he hadn't made preparations against it and considered how to avoid letting the enemy borrow strength from himself. However, he was thrown into confusion due to his passive response from earlier and sought only to defend himself. He couldn't unleash abrupt explosive force at all.

Meanwhile, Sun Jian's 24 Blizzard Strikes had been put into play. Every punch was heavier, and every kick was more ferocious than the last. His strength had fallen below Sun Jian, and he could only focus on defending himself. This way, he no longer had the opportunity to execute abrupt explosive force or engage in a hand-to-hand fight.

If the martial art, Jiuyang Punch was a bit better and had moves that contained the explosive power of the Modern Blast Punch, or the irrational and violent moves of the Bear Form, then Gao Rao could at least fight Sun Jian head on and forcefully interrupt Sun Jian's storm-like suppression. Unfortunately, the greatest feature of the Jiuyang Punch was that it had no feature at all. It had all kinds of pounding moves, single whips, blast punches and leg techniques. It had everything except the vital finishing that would make it an amazing martial art!

"Must I keep waiting until his stamina couldn't keep up... but I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold out for much longer..." Faced with Sun Jian's Seabed Blast and Half-step Burst Fist, Gao Rao was slightly worried and couldn't wait to get out of the current situation right away.

If I lost again, then how could I be unashamed to see my big senior brother, to see the one who refuses to take part in other forces in order to keep the prestige of our martial arts club refused to join the other forces of the big brothers, to see the one who is unwilling to be the disciple of the fighters of Dan stage in order to maintain the relationship with his master, and to see the one who always blesses us and never complain! This is my great senior brother!

Even in my dream that I want to help him!

I can't drag him down again!

Feeling the burning warpath and the impulse to get rid of the present dilemma within his heart, he no longer could wait. At that time, he strengthened his back and thigh, and then his feet suddenly tilted against the ground.

Once the power rebounded, he pushed his knee, tightened his thigh, straightened his spine and twisted his waist along with the power. It helped him to activate his muscle so that his right arm could hit out suddenly like a whistling steel whip which was ferocious and strong.

This might be the strongest attack that he could hit!

Sun Jian took the advantages to rebound his back and move forward, mixed with the borrowed power, and then he hit a Mountain Blast Punch with significant effect.

Bang!

There broke out the dull sound on the ring. Gao Rao with weaker power shook a bit and finally managed to keep his gravity. However, at this time, he saw Sun Jian moving back half a step. It looked like he was staggering and was falling!

Isn't he pretending to have strong power, while the fact is that he has already lost his gravity?

Gao Rao felt so glad when he saw that. But when he was going to stabilize his center of gravity and to fight back, he saw that Sun Jian rebounded forward like a spring or a stray once he stepped against the ground!

He was so fast that Gao Rao only had time to raise his arms to defend.

That was the Catapulting Movement!

As Sun Jian approached to Gao Rao, he has already opened his right hand with his fingers like sharp teeth and ferocious claws and scratched his enemy's arm mercilessly.

While Gao Rao was going to shake his arm to throw off the catching, Sun Jian stepped on the ground, rebounded to flash through and came to the back of his body. He took the chance to turn back and caught the arms of Gao Rao by his two hands.

With a twist, a lift and a lock, Sun Jian caught Gao Rao. At the same time, he raised his right foot to kick his knee which abruptly stopped his enemy's back kick so that his enemy couldn't fight back. Gao Rao could no longer stand still, and he knelt down on one knee.

Until now, Gao Rao suddenly sobered up and understood that he was tricked by Sun Jian.

The referee next to him raised his right hand and announced the result loudly,

"Round one, Sun Jian wins!"

There appeared buzzing sound within Gao Rao's mind. And his heart was full of chagrin and bewilderment.

Am I lost?

Am I lost again?

And do I drag Elder Senior Brother down again?

Waiting until Sun Jian let him go, he staggered to stand up and went down the ring soullessly.

Sure, this is not an anime. So it isn't that once you have the reason and the faith to win that you can get the victory...

It also doesn't mean that if you recalled some memories of past or cheered up a little for yourself within your mind that you can beat the super enemy...

Sun Jian showed no interests to the emotions and the thoughts of his enemy. And his whole body was filled with happiness and complacency when his preconceived trap worked out.

The taste of victory was excellent, and so was the taste of ferocious punching!

He turned around and waved the fist to both the members of Songcheng University martial arts club and the audience in the stands.

Lou Cheng and other members all clapped with laugh and the audience also responded him with a warm cheer,

"Sun Jian!"

Gao Rao walked back to where the guest team sat in the hot atmosphere and he even couldn't raise his head because he was afraid to face Elder Senior Brother and other junior brothers and sisters.

"At first you're too nervous while then you're too impatient." Peng Chengguang wasn't disappointed and angry, and he simply commented on this game. "When you go back, you should think it over. As long as you understood and absorbed the fighting experience in this preliminary that you could go further hopefully."

Listening to the comfort and encouragement of his Elder Senior Brother and feeling his brother's leisure attitude towards his failure, Gao Rao felt more upset and he even wanted to be severely criticized or hit by his Elder Senior Brother. It seemed only by this way that he could feel better and relieved a bit of the guilt and self-blame in his heart.

"Elder Senior Brother, I'm not a kid!" He wanted to roar back like this.

Peng Chengguang looked at Zhang Ying who stood beside him and whispered to her, "You have to take the initiative. Never let him interrupt your own rhythm and never give him a chance to fight with you hand-to-hand. What's more, you have to keep cool and be patient for your enemy is very brilliant who is good at setting traps."

Zhang Ying nodded and kept the words of Elder Senior Brother in mind. Then she turned back and walked to the ring with her eyes staring at Sun Jian.

Well, to sum up, he is a polished scoundrel.

Zhang Ying tied up her hair to a ponytail which always swayed back and forth, and with her born baby face, she looked like a high school student. When she stood in front of Sun Jian, she took a deep breath and told herself to stay calm.

"Round Two. Start!" The referee did not give them an opportunity to adjust their conditions.

Gao Rao was a fighter of Amateur First Pin, so it seemed that Sun Jian defeated him easily, but in fact it wasn't. If at the beginning of this combat he had not suppressed his opponent and took the opportunity to play the 24 Blizzard Strikes, it would have been difficult to tell to whom the spoils will go."

And experiencing such a fierce battle and playing the 24 Blizzard Strikes which had consumed much of his stamina, it was evident that Sun Jian's condition wasn't so well. What only he had in mind now was to force his opponent to fight with him directly so that he could create opportunities for the next fighter, Li Mao.

Bang! As soon as he heard of the "start" that he stepped forward to attack. And his right arm straightened like a long spear with great power and then hit towards Zhang Ying.

Zhang Ying has been prepared for his attack, so she slipped his right foot and flashed to the other side because she was trying to play steadily and safely.

And when she came to the side of her opponent, her muscles on her thigh stretched which drove her knee to kick a "whip kick" which could even make some sound like wind.

Sun Jian took a breath, with twisting his back and tightening his muscles on his leg, he side kicked his left leg ferociously.

Bang! After the collision, Zhang Ying changed her position by the rebounding power and her toes slightly touching the ground. Then she once again started to attack and took control of the rhythm by herself.

Bang! Bang! Bang! They continuously fought with each other and sometimes they would also separate. Zhang Ying never gave Sun Jian the opportunity to play 24 Blizzard Strikes and fight hand-to-hand, and she used the method of moving away as long as she hit him successfully.

After the continuous collisions, she found an opportunity. She defended and pulled with her left hand and then she punched with her right fist at once.

Bang! Sun Jian right hand hit like a hammer which went straightly down and was just to block the punch. His body also shook after this round of attack.

"Has he lost all his power already? Has his strength already decreased to this level?" Zhang Ying came up with the idea that she wanted to take advantage of this chance to attack him ferociously. But she recalled what Elder Senior Brother has said to her.

Keep cool, do not worry!

Zhang Ying kept calm and then she twisted her back slightly. She stepped forward and closed to Sun Jian once again. While at that time, she saw that he moved forward ferociously with the rebounding power and this attack was as strong as which he played when he was filled with power.

"Oh, he is really treacherous! He almost fools me!" Zhang Ying felt a little angry, so she caught up with him quickly, raised her right hand, stabilized her waist and hip, and then she was going to take the opportunity to hit him a downward cut with Fist.

At the same time, Sun Jian stepped down and left him to jump out of the ring.

He jumped out of the ring...

Jumped out of the ring!

Zhang Ying looked at Sun Jian confusedly and she suspected that he was bewildered for playing too many combats.

As Sun Jian stood firmly, he quickly pulled at his hair and praised his intelligence.

When my attack prepared for so long time has missed my enemy, I know that I couldn't fight anymore and I has reached the limit state. So once my opponent attacks me once more that I'll definitely lose the fight.

Since in the end I'll lose, why should I just stand there innocently to be hit by my opponent, knocked by her or even buttocked by her? Why should I make myself look like a drowned rat?

I have to keep my demeanor before so many audiences!

Sun Jian wiped his hair, walked towards his own seat briskly.

Seeing this scene, Li Mao suddenly stood up and left the position.

Because his face wasn't so nervous as the two previous combat and his body was not so tight as before. Lou Cheng and other members did not say anything so as to not put pressure on him.

"Take your time and waste all her energy, she'll lose." Sun Jian held his fist and said to Li Mao with a laugh as he was going to meet Li Mao.

This time, Li Mao felt only a little nervous but did not lose his thinking ability. While he heard what Sun Jian has said, he nodded and pounded his fist on his.

As he stepped up along the stone, he gently breathed and adjusted his slightly tight body.

Just like what Cheng and other members said, as long as I take away the burdens that my tension will decrease with the increasing numbers of my combats. It isn't the problem that I can't overcome...

My body is still a bit stiff, so if I defend passively, it'd be easy to go wrong. I'd better take the initiative to attack first and once I get through the hard beginning that I can really enter into the fighting state...

Li Mao meditated "attack first" and then he came to the front of Zhang Ying.

Compared with the past, he was quite satisfied with his current state which at least his head wasn't blank.

On the other side, Zhang Ying was trying to save time to recover her stamina. Because she also consumed a lot enemy during the calm and lasted guerrilla hit with Sun Jian.

Well, she also felt a bit relieved after she had won a round, and she could analyze the opponent's situation calmly.

My opponent is a fighter, called Li Mao. He is always very nervous. Although his symptoms certainly won't be so serious after the last combat which he has beaten Feng Shaokun, I still have the chance to win him because Rome is not built in one day.

I'll attack him first and let him feel hectic at the beginning of this match!

"Round Three. Start!" The referee waved his arm.

As soon as the referee announced, Li Mao agitated his power and stepped forward by instinct. Zhang Ying rebound her knee and moved forward ferociously. So these two fighters suddenly were closed at hand. There appeared a burst of exclaimed voice among the audience.

Neither of them could retreat and dodge this attack with such a close distance and such inertia. It would be too late!

Both of their pupils constricted. And they all clenched their teeth, twisted their waist and hit a fist towards the other party in a flash with their instinct as a fighter.

Meeting on a narrow path who dares wins!
