The Entry-plundering Demon Hunter

Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Honor the Bet, You Fucking Sore Loser?

DING.

With a soft chime, the elevator doors slowly slid open.

Chu Zhengxiong, Han Bin, Mo Ya, Zhan Kai, and Sun Lang stepped out.

But as soon as they stepped into the Martial Arts Arena,

they were all dumbfounded.

The students in the Martial Arts Arena had all stopped their training.

Every single one of them was staring intently at the fighting ring.

And in the ring, two people were locked in a fierce back-and-forth battle.

It was Lin Yi and Shen Yuzhe...

”Holy shit, what’s going on? Why are those two fighting?”

Chu Zhengxiong said in astonishment.

Just as he finished speaking, someone walked over.

”Old Chu? You’re here?”

The speaker was none other than the Martial Arts Arena’s coach, Yang Yong.

He didn’t seem as surprised, wearing a faint smile instead.

He would glance at the ring from time to time.

”Old Yang, what’s the situation? Why are they...”

”Not sure. I just got here myself, and they were already at it.

But according to my students, they’re only competing in martial techniques, not using their cultivation!”

”Only martial techniques? No cultivation?”

”Isn’t that just bullying? That Shen Yuzhe is a Martial Arts University student, while Lin Yi is still in high school...”

In the eyes of Chu Zhengxiong, Han Bin, and the others,

when it came to the refinement of martial techniques and actual combat experience,

Shen Yuzhe was far superior to Lin Yi.

After all, he was already a Martial Arts University student.

No matter how talented Lin Yi was, he was still just a high schooler.

And in terms of age and experience, Shen Yuzhe had a greater advantage over Lin Yi.

For the two of them to spar, wasn’t it obvious that Shen Yuzhe was just bullying him?

However, Yang Yong just smiled, not showing a hint of worry.

”That’s not necessarily true...”

”Not necessarily? Come on, Old Yang, I get that you have faith in your student, but Lin Yi just recovered from his injuries, and Shen Yuzhe is...”

Before Chu Zhengxiong could finish,

a muffled BOOM suddenly echoed through the arena.

He quickly looked up at the ring.

In the brief moment he was talking, Lin Yi had landed a punch directly on Shen Yuzhe’s shoulder.

It sent Shen Yuzhe stumbling back several steps before he managed to steady himself.

Clearly, Shen Yuzhe was not willing to accept this.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he gritted his teeth and lunged at Lin Yi again.

As he closed in, Shen Yuzhe threw a heavy punch, aiming to take Lin Yi down.

Lin Yi didn’t dare to be overconfident, just as Chu Zhengxiong had said.

When it came to actual combat experience, Shen Yuzhe was indeed more seasoned than Lin Yi.

The Martial Arts University was a place for all sorts of trials.

Every day, students had to take on various missions.

They tempered themselves in real combat.

They broke through their limits amid danger.

That’s why every student who graduated from a Martial Arts University

was qualified to directly enter the military, the Demon Hunting Bureau, or even the Martial Arts Alliance.

Because every one of them had experienced countless life-and-death trials.

They had brushed past the Death God time and time again.

They had distinguished themselves in one deadly battle after another.

Therefore, even if they were only competing in martial techniques without using cultivation,

Lin Yi still had to maintain a high level of alertness when facing Shen Yuzhe.

He couldn’t afford the slightest distraction, or Shen Yuzhe would find an opening.

WHOOSH—

Lin Yi leaped, jumping to the side.

The moment his feet touched the ground, he pushed off with his toes, and his body shot forward like an arrow released from a bow.

He catapulted himself toward Shen Yuzhe.

Meanwhile, Shen Yuzhe had been watching Lin Yi out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing him pounce, the corners of Shen Yuzhe’s mouth curved up slightly.

He turned his body and launched a kick at Lin Yi’s chest.

However, it was as if Lin Yi had already predicted it.

Just as Shen Yuzhe’s big foot was about to connect with Lin Yi’s chest,

Lin Yi tilted his body slightly, grazing past the attack to dodge.

Immediately, his hands became like sharp claws, shooting up along Shen Yuzhe’s ankle.

This familiar sense of dread made Shen Yuzhe’s expression change drastically once again.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered what Zhou Qi had said before.

’When it comes to who has the dirtiest moves, Lin Yi is number one.’

’That inner thigh grab... Zhou Qi had learned that very move from Lin Yi.’

’And that wasn’t all. Lin Yi had plenty of other dirty tricks, like eye-gouging and groin kicks...’

Instantly, Shen Yuzhe broke out in a cold sweat.

To prevent his inner thigh from being injured again,

he quickly tried to pull his leg back, wanting to create distance from Lin Yi before continuing the fight.

But it was too late.

Lin Yi’s movements were incredibly swift, closing the distance in the blink of an eye.

His hand shot out and viciously grabbed Shen Yuzhe’s inner thigh.

”AHH—”

A bloodcurdling scream erupted from the ring.

Seizing the opportunity, Lin Yi changed his clawed hand into a knife-edge and chopped down hard on Shen Yuzhe’s neck.

In an instant, Shen Yuzhe’s scream came to an abrupt halt.

His face was beet red, his eyes shot with blood.

The next moment, Lin Yi unleashed the basic fist techniques he had learned when he first started Martial Arts.

Along with some of the practical combat skills he had integrated into them.

He unleashed a whole combo on Shen Yuzhe.

Instantly, Shen Yuzhe was driven back again and again, completely unable to fight back...

Seeing the scene in the ring,

Chu Zhengxiong couldn’t bear to watch any longer.

He turned his head slightly and said, ”Old Yang, what kind of moves was that kid Lin Yi just using? Grabbing the inner thigh? A neck chop? And I think I saw him aim a kick at Shen Yuzhe’s... uh... Don’t tell me you taught him all these dirty tricks?”

At his words, Yang Yong shot him a sideways glance.

”It doesn’t matter who taught him. In a real fight, any move that defeats your opponent is a good move!”

”Especially in a life-or-death situation, the one who lives is the real hero...”

Chu Zhengxiong didn’t argue.

Han Bin and Mo Ya also nodded in agreement.

They had all been through numerous life-or-death situations.

Countless near-death experiences had made them understand this point clearly.

’In a real battle, who’s going to follow the rules? Who’s going to talk about morals?’

’As long as you survive, no one cares what methods you used.’

On the contrary, dirty tricks like the ones Lin Yi used were often more practical in a real fight.

They were far more effective than those flashy, elaborate routines.

’If you can win in one move, think of all the trouble you’d save.’

While they were talking, the situation in the ring had changed dramatically.

Shen Yuzhe was sent flying by a single punch.

Lin Yi quickly walked over, smiling as he extended a hand. ”Senior Shen, are you alright?”

Sitting on the floor, Shen Yuzhe’s face was ashen.

His eyes were filled with unwilling resentment.

Just as Lin Yi extended his hand,

the resentful Shen Yuzhe was about to use his cultivation to launch a sneak attack on Lin Yi.

A voice came from the direction of the elevator.

”Shen Yuzhe... If you make a bet, you have to accept the loss. Are you that much of a fucking sore loser?”

Instantly, Shen Yuzhe’s expression changed, and he quickly looked back.

It was only then that he noticed several people standing by the elevator.

It was the three captains from the Demon Hunting Bureau.

In an instant, Shen Yuzhe quickly retracted the Qi in his body.

He grabbed Lin Yi’s hand and pulled himself up from the floor.

At the same time,

Lin Yi also quietly suppressed his own Qi.

Just a moment ago,

his danger sense had already warned him, and Lin Yi had subconsciously started circulating the Qi in his body, preparing to defend himself.

His other hand, it seemed, had conjured a small cosmos out of thin air.

A fist-sized black sphere.

It contained the mysteries of the universe and the starry sky.

This was a fist technique that Lin Yi had comprehended himself while cultivating the Star River Qi Transformation Technique.

It was like channeling the power of the cosmos through his own body.

He hadn’t had a chance to name this technique yet.

But Lin Yi had a strong feeling that if he could truly manifest this technique,

and cultivate it to mastery, grand completion, or even perfection,

the power it could unleash would be absolutely staggering.

And yet, he probably hadn’t even reached the entry-level with it, and it already had such an effect.

Both of them reined in their hostility.

Under the pressure of the three captains, even though Shen Yuzhe was still resentful,

he still forced a smile and said, ”I lost...”

Seeing this, Lin Yi put on a harmless-looking smile.

”It was just a friendly spar, winning or losing doesn’t matter. I learned a lot from you, Senior. Thank you for your guidance!” Lin Yi said with a light chuckle.

At this moment, the students below the ring, like Shen Mengyi and Zhou Qi, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They had all witnessed the previous scene.

And they could all clearly sense it.

If those three captains hadn’t intervened in time,

it was likely that between Lin Yi and Shen Yuzhe, one of them would have been seriously injured...
