Chapter 2530 — I'm Doing This for Your Own Good
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"That's the contest?" Wei Zhao laughed and nodded. "Fine. I'll definitely beat you until you cough blood."
"Uh..." Why did Zhong Yongliang feel that Wei Zhao was utterly unafraid? That shouldn't be. Had he thought up some devastating move? Suddenly Zhong Yongliang thought of Zhang Naipao from before—surely Wei Zhao wasn't planning to use some ultimate technique today? No, that couldn't be—even an ultimate technique would be blocked by his mid-grade Golden Cicada undergarment!
Still, to be safe, Zhong Yongliang added a condition: "Of course, we can't beat each other to death. This is on campus—a death is out of the question."
"Don't worry. If you're afraid of dying, just say so. I'm not stupid enough to kill you with everyone watching." Wei Zhao curled his lip. On school grounds, Wei Zhao naturally could not beat Zhong Yongliang to death! Even in a place with no one around, Wei Zhao could not bring himself to strike a killing blow.
Wei Zhao was no reckless man. His current strength could at best be said to just barely stand against the hidden families. Much stronger than before, yes, but still far below the ancient sects—so for the time being Wei Zhao did not want to provoke anyone from the ancient sects.
"I'm doing this for your own good!" Zhong Yongliang said shamelessly. "All right, let's begin. Everyone bear witness—whoever beats the other until he coughs blood wins! Otherwise, even if you're knocked down a hundred times, it doesn't count!"
Many here had seen the earlier match and knew of Zhong Yongliang's ability—he could be struck, even knocked down, without suffering the slightest injury. So at once they fell to whispering, cursing Zhong Yongliang's lack of decency in private: the man was plainly impervious to blows, yet he proposed such an insane condition!
And Wei Zhao, though he had knocked Zhong Yongliang down yesterday, was still far from beating him until he coughed blood.
But Zhong Yongliang did not care what these people thought—their opinions had nothing to do with him. What he cared about was what Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu thought. When he saw that neither of them showed any aversion to his proposal, his heart instantly relaxed!
It seemed the bond between Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu, and Wei Zhao was not as rock-solid as he had imagined. Perhaps cracks had appeared among them—which was precisely what had let his plan proceed so smoothly!
It looked as though, so long as he defeated Wei Zhao, replacing him would be an easy matter!
"Then here I go!" Wei Zhao said, and drove a fist straight at Zhong Yongliang!
This time Wei Zhao did not activate any martial technique at all—he struck with nothing but ordinary strength! His current low-grade Golden Cicada undergarment could only defend against attacks from experts below the Earth rank; it could not withstand an Earth-rank expert at all. So as long as Wei Zhao struck him normally, he could cripple Zhong Yongliang.
Had Wei Zhao used a martial technique, Zhong Yongliang would have been finished in a single move. To keep Zhong Yongliang from dying outright, Wei Zhao naturally struck him just like this, with plain force.
