"Master Li, hehe, you finally returned." Li Zheming got out of the car, walked straight up to Li Wei with a playful smirk on his lips, and spoke.
Seeing the menacing posture of the other party, coupled with the commotion of the crowd around, Li Wei immediately frowned, "And you are?"
Li Zheming smiled proudly, "Master Li, let me introduce myself. My name is Li Zheming, and this is my teacher, Park Sungjin. My teacher would like to spar with your dojo. I wonder if Master Li is willing?"
Saying he wasn't feeling a headache at this moment would be a lie for Li Wei, but being surrounded by people everywhere, with pairs of eyes all fixed on him, he really didn't want to admit defeat. Yet, he had just heard about Park Sungjin's prowess and knew that if he agreed, defeat would be inevitable.
As Li Wei hesitated, pondering how to respond, Li Nan took a step forward and faced Li Zheming's provocative gaze before speaking.
"If you dare to challenge, we'll dare to accept. Cut the nonsense and come in."
Li Wei was shocked and thought to himself, "What got into my daughter? Since the opponent can kick through the dojos in Lidu City, how could I possibly be a match for this Park Sungjin?"
Detecting the conflict on Li Wei's face, Li Zheming became even more triumphant, "Master Li, can she represent your wishes?"
Li Wei quietly sighed, casting a somewhat reproachful glance at Li Nan. However, since his daughter had already spoken out, and everyone had heard it, he really couldn't bring himself to refuse, so he had no choice but to nod with gritted teeth.
"Please, both of you, come in."
Again he glanced at Li Nan, unable to comprehend why his daughter wasn't the least bit anxious.
As Li Zheming and Park Sungjin entered the dojo, the hundreds of people inside instinctively made way, retreating to the sides, leaving the center open.
At this moment, Chu Ge, He Junming, and Da Shan were standing together, all eyes on Li Zheming and Park Sungjin in the center, each harboring different thoughts.
What Chu Ge hoped was for Da Shan to handle Park Sungjin. If possible, he really didn't want to show his face.
He Junming felt an inexplicable conflict, unsure whether he wanted Chu Ge to enter the fray. If Chu Ge did, he didn't want him to steal the limelight but also feared he might fail or even get injured, feeling incredibly conflicted.
Da Shan's thoughts were much simpler. He hoped Chu Ge would get kicked away by Park Sungjin, so he could then go up and kick Park Sungjin away himself.
"Mr. Chu, the challengers have arrived."
Da Shan glanced at Chu Ge, with an underlying meaning: "Are you going up, or what are you still pondering?"
Chu Ge slightly smiled, "Brother Shan, I'm just here to watch the fun."
Hearing Chu Ge say this, Da Shan felt a sense of disdain, thinking that Chu Ge was scared upon seeing a master. However, on the surface, he also smiled.
"Mr. Chu, you're just being modest. This is the time to stand up for Chinese people; there's no need to hold back now, right?"
As they spoke, He Junming's gaze fell on Li Nan, watching her walk while looking in Chu Ge's direction, clearly seeking help from him with her eyes, feeling a bit uneasy, and listening to Chu Ge and Da Shan's push and pull was making him more irritable.
He Junming slightly frowned, "Brother Shan, you go."
He said that, uncertain whether he was more worried about Chu Ge or more unwilling to let Chu Ge stand out in front of Li Nan.
Since He Junming had spoken, Da Shan, though somewhat unwilling, said nothing further, casting a glance full of silent mockery at Chu Ge before shifting his attention back to Park Sungjin.
At this moment, Park Sungjin had already walked to the center of the field, stopped, and with hands clasped behind his back, leisurely said to Li Wei, "Master Li, since I'm already here, shall we begin?"
Li Wei felt a pang of distress, catching a glimpse of Li Nan as she stole a glance at him, thinking if she had any solution, she should use it quickly. If she continued to delay, her old dad was about to be beaten up in public!
Li Nan was also starting to feel anxious, looking in Chu Ge's direction and desperately blinking her eyes.
Seeing that Li Wei remained silent, Li Zheming curled his lips, slightly lifting his chin as he urged, "Master Li, my teacher is asking you a question, you wouldn't be regretting it now, would you?"
Just then, a voice emerged from the crowd.
"If you want to challenge our master, you should defeat me first."
As Da Shan's voice rang out, numerous gazes immediately turned towards him, and the quiet dojo was filled with a buzz of whispers.
"Who is this guy?"
"No idea, I've never noticed him before. Can he do it?"
"Standing up for the master at a time like this, he must have some skills, right?"
"Let's hope so."
The most surprised at this moment was Li Nan, who never imagined that the one to stand out wouldn't be Chu Ge.
However, when she saw Chu Ge give her a reassuring look, she thought this person should be a friend of Chu Ge, and she felt a little more at ease in her heart.
Being watched by so many people, Da Shan also felt quite accomplished. He stepped out from the crowd, nodded to Li Wei, and then looked at Park Sungjin.
"This friend, are you sure you want to challenge me?"
Park Sungjin smiled and asked, then turned to Li Zheming with a look to inquire if this was the guy who threw Li Zheming out of the Taekwondo gym.
Li Zheming was also baffled at this moment, wondering where this fearless person came from, and slightly shook his head to Park Sungjin.
"Mr. Park, did you use the word 'challenge' incorrectly? It should be you challenging our master. I'm just here to test for our master if you have the qualifications to fight him."
As soon as Da Shan said this, the whole audience was shocked. The way they looked at him was as if they were scrutinizing a monster. What he said was really too domineering.
Li Zheming scoffed through his nose and disdainfully cursed in Korean: "Courting death."
Park Sungjin, however, smiled slightly, carefully examined Da Shan for a few moments, and nodded, "Alright, this friend, please."
Da Shan was too lazy to waste words with Park Sungjin, and from his mouth lightly spat a word, "Please."
Both sides took their stances, three meters apart. Da Shan was about to launch a fierce attack, but just as he took a step, Park Sungjin suddenly said, "This friend, please wait a moment."
Da Shan frowned, feeling a bit irritated, "What is it?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to remind you that fists and feet have no eyes, so be a bit careful, please."
Da Shan felt a bit disgusted in his heart, verbally said "Thanks," and then rushed up again.
However, just as he was about to reach Park Sungjin, Park Sungjin suddenly stepped back and said with a friendly face, "Sorry, please wait a moment again."
The rhythm was disrupted once more, and Da Shan was almost furious, thinking to himself what bad luck had he hit upon these days, first Chu Ge and now this Park Sungjin?
Cursing internally, Da Shan forced himself to be patient and said, "What is it again?"
Park Sungjin first gave an apologetic smile, then gently asked, "May I ask if you are using Taekwondo to challenge me?"
Da Shan exhaled and didn't bother to correct the word "challenge," frowning, "That's right! Can we start now?"
"Please."
Da Shan said nothing more, darkened his face, and with a body as swift as the wind, charged again.
Watching this scene, the people present felt utterly baffled, thinking to themselves if this Park Sungjin was mentally ill. It was indeed the first time they had seen someone competing like this; couldn't he just say whatever he wanted beforehand?
Only Chu Ge shook his head silently, looking at Da Shan with more helplessness and concern, and for Park Sungjin, more disgust and anger.
Afraid that Da Shan might lose.
Just as Chu Ge was thinking this, Da Shan had already approached Park Sungjin, at the spot where he had been interrupted by Park Sungjin twice just now.
Park Sungjin's lips moved slightly, his body taking a step back, and immediately, a momentary hesitation appeared in Da Shan's movement.
And in that instant, Park Sungjin, who seemed about to speak, suddenly raised his right leg without any warning. With a swift twist of his waist, a spinning back kick carried a "whoosh" as it swiftly headed towards Da Shan's chest.
Da Shan's pupils constricted, cursing internally. Yet, at this moment, it was too late to change his move, and there was no way to evade.
Clearly, this was just a very ordinary technique, but Park Sungjin's kicking speed was far too fast, the timing was too perfect, and the angle was tricky. Da Shan could only watch helplessly as the kick landed heavily on his chest.
With a "thud," Da Shan instantly staggered several steps back. Already agitated, he was hit with this heavy kick, and his chest was in turmoil, even his breath stopped.
Seeing Da Shan take this kick without losing his shape, even preparing to counterattack, Park Sungjin secretly praised him. He knew exactly how much force that kick had, enough to easily put a hole in a brick wall.
However, Park Sungjin knew that this was not the time for admiration and certainly wasn't going to give Da Shan a chance to catch his breath.
Seizing the moment when Da Shan's balance was not quite stable, Park Sungjin immediately pressed forward without hesitation, using his proud leg techniques at dazzling speeds, kicking towards Da Shan one swift kick after another.
"Thud! Thud! Thud!"
Each of Park Sungjin's kicks was both fast and fierce, with angles incredibly tricky, targeting Da Shan's awkward spots.
Da Shan, having lost the initiative and suffering a heavy blow to his chest, was overwhelmed by Park Sungjin's relentless storm-like attack. In just seven or eight seconds, he took several more hard kicks. Finally, his footing faltered, and Park Sungjin seized the opportunity, exploiting the gap, and ruthlessly kicked him to the ground.
