Chapter 257: Unable to Win
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
No one shouted “start”. The two of them could be considered experienced experts in their respective fields and only needed to exchange a glance to see the other’s intention to attack.
Jing Shan was young and vigorous, and he made the first move!
He had participated in many competitions, so he did not use a powerful move first. Instead, he first sent a flying kick at the oblate’s waist to test the latter’s true level.
This move was easily blocked by the oblates fist as a shield. Jing Shan was stunned, but he turned around and threw another kick at the oblate’s left side, which was unprotected.
However, he did not expect the oblate’s thigh muscles to be so strong that he was able to withstand the blow. The oblate’s legs did not move at all, and instead, he grabbed Jing Shan’s right foot and pushed him back a few steps.
When Jing Shan saw the oblate’s quick reaction and steady horse stance, respect rose in his heart and he did not dare to underestimate him anymore.
“Young man, Hong Kuen uses a lot of fist techniques to win, but our lower body foundation isn’t something you can’t beat so easily.” With that, the oblate laughed heartily and waved at Jing Shan, indicating that he could continue.
Jing Shan shifted his steps and changed his standing posture. “Since that’s the case, I won’t be soft-hearted anymore!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he made his moves swiftly and exchanged blows with the oblate.
However, the key to winning in karate was to “kill in one hit”. The oblate’s Hong Kuen was extremely skilled in borrowing power, and the defense was actually comprehensive, making it impossible for Jing Shan to find a loophole to break through.
The oblate would use the elephant style for a moment, then the tiger and crane forms next. These ancient and infinite changes dazzled the people present.
“My god, this master alone can beat ten of me… Will Jing Shan be able to win? Li Xuan’s jaw almost dropped from shock. He had never thought that the earlier riddles were so easy to solve like playing house, only for the difficulty to suddenly increase at this point.
“Jing Shan’s very strong. but his moves are all about winning the competition.” Yan Ruo explained with a smile, “There are many restrictions in the competition. There are many parts that cannot be hit. After many years of training, these rules have long been rooted in his body.”
Yan Ruo admired the oblate’s well-trained skills and had already considered him to be a useful talent.
Zheng You stared at Jing Shan’s every move. In her heart, she looked down on Hua’s martial arts. She always thought that people who were still practicing martial arts nowadays were more for show. How could they be more lethal than Karate and Muay Thai?
If Jing Shan lost again this time, she would not hesitate to kick him away. Yan Ruo did not say it clearly, but everyone present understood what he meant. He meant that Jing Shan would not win.
Sure enough, Jing Shan’s attacks gradually weakened, while the oblate still maintained a stable performance, forcing Jing Shan to switch from offense to defense.
Sweat seeped out of Jing Shan’s forehead, and there was a large wet patch on the back of his clothes. He had lost his calm and wanted to find an opportunity to use his invincible technique in competition to break through the oblate’s defense.
However, as the oblate’s attacks became faster, he could not find a chance to kick. Finally, Jing Shan switched to defense, but even that was rather strenuous for him.
Once the pair’s attack and defense position changed, the match instantly changed.
Finally, the oblate began to launch a fierce attack. With a flash, he came to the side of Jing Shan and used the momentum to send an elbow strike to knock Jing Shan to the ground.
Just as Jing Shan was about to get up, the oblate’s right hand snaked toward Jing Shan’s throat, stopping only three centimeters away from his neck.
Jing Shan lay on the ground and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He was in shock.
He actually… He had lost…
Bai Lin looked at the oblate and knew that something was wrong. She quietly left the crowd and went to study the door alone.
Li Xuan and Ye Xings eyes widened in disbelief. Could this be what it meant to have experts among the common folks? Jing Shan was a player who won the
world championship!
Jing Shan laid on the ground and turned to look in Zheng You’s direction, but he could only see Zheng You’s side profile.
For a moment, he felt like his heart was dead. Zheng You probably would not even look at him again.
The oblate retracted his snake-shaped hand and reached out to Jing Shan again.
“Young man, you have good strength. However, you have lots of brute but not enough flexibility. If you keep attacking fiercely, it’ll easily expose your flaws.
You still have a long way to go. It’s better to take it slow.”
The oblate pulled Jing Shan up from the ground and smiled.
“Since you’ve already known that you won’t gain any advantage from attacking me fiercely, why didn’t you stop earlier?
That was right.. Since he could not gain any benefits, why did he not stop sooner?
