Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

”Come on,” said Gu Tong, but Yuan Jianlan didn’t know how to make a move. She was afraid of accidentally hurting Gu Tong, which wouldn’t be good, and she had no intention of continuing to teach Gu Tong a lesson.

Gu Tong possessed a seven-clever delicate heart and easily noticed the change in Yuan Jianlan’s demeanor, so she suddenly lunged forward, choosing to strike first.

’Swish――――’

Her movements were swift; accompanying her strike was a powerful gust of wind. Yuan Jianlan instinctively began to dodge, her eyes filled with disbelief.

How is this possible? It can’t be...

’Whoosh――――’

Next came a wind-whipping kick. Gu Tong’s moves were agile, almost instantaneous.

Yuan Jianlan dodged left and right with difficulty, barely avoiding Gu Tong’s attacks. She originally thought Gu Tong was all show without substance, never imagining she’d have such skills.

A true master reveals their skill with the first strike. Gu Tong’s punches, including her posture and footwork, were honed through long-term real combat experience.

Yuan Jianlan also came from a non-traditional background, so there was a sense of familiarity when they began to fight. However... even if they felt familiar, there were still differences, perhaps the variations in style between different people.

However, she didn’t know that Gu Tong’s moves were all lethal, designed to kill! There was no concept of holding back; she achieved her breakthrough on the battlefield of slaughter back then.

’Whoosh――――’

The fist came attacking again, nearing Yuan Jianlan’s face. She immediately shouted and grabbed Gu Tong’s wrist.

Gu Tong pulled her hand suddenly, only to find she was held fast and couldn’t move. No wonder people said Yuan Jianlan had innate divine strength; seeing it now, it was indeed true.

”You’ve lost!”

Yuan Jianlan tugged forcefully, intending to grab Gu Tong with her other hand. Once both hands touched Gu Tong, she could lift her directly—a deadly move she used against opponents.

However, Gu Tong was like a slippery eel, deftly evading all attacks, gaining distance so Yuan Jianlan couldn’t touch other parts of her body, effectively protecting herself.

”Damn it!” Yuan Jianlan clenched her teeth in frustration, unable to rely on brute strength to continue grabbing her. She had to choose some clever methods. She felt Gu Tong was like a fish, ready to escape at any moment!

After several rounds of combat, the outcome was still undecided, yet both were panting heavily. Unfortunately, Gu Tong’s stamina failed her, and she was pinned to the ground by Yuan Jianlan.

”I quit... I quit...” Gu Tong waved her hand, already drenched in sweat.

Yuan Jianlan almost collapsed next to her, panting heavily, saying, ”This... you now... knowmy... prowess...”

As she said this, her heart was uncertain. Knowing that when Gu Tong went all out earlier, they were evenly matched, she could have been defeated if not for Gu Tong’s poor stamina.

”Your skills are so good... how come your stamina is so poor...” Yuan Jianlan, straightforward and never one to hide things, felt it was odd and directly asked.

Gu Tong wiped her sweat and said, ”I trained before but then stopped, so my stamina weakened. Luckily, I have a foundation and can train back to it in the future.”

”No wonder you could get into Specialty Pavilion Academy; turns out you’re a talent too...” Yuan Jianlan nodded in understanding, gaining a new perspective of Gu Tong. If anyone dared say Gu Tong got in through connections, she’d slap them flying and said, ”But your stamina can be improved. Just running and exercising generally can improve it a lot, especially real combat with others; that’s the easiest way to regain combat strength. Later you...”
