The Top Military Academy’s gymnasiums were top-of-the-line . All around were various kinds of fitness testing and exercise equipment . The 2,000 square-meter area could fit more than 300 people and still have room to spare .
A crowd gathered at the center of the gymnasium . They were all students of the command faculty . Almost everyone in class had come over to watch .
Zheng Xu and Nie Yan stood five meters apart . Both had changed into fighting uniforms .
“Today, no matter who wins or loses, it’s just a spar . If I end up getting hurt, I have no one but myself to blame,” Zheng Xu said . He immediately placed himself in the underdog position . His meaning was clear . If Nie Yan suffered injuries, he could only suck it up . If he won, it was only natural since he placed first in the overall rankings .
“I’ll hold back, don’t worry . ” Nie Yan coldly stared at Zheng Xu . He looked down on these types of people the most .
Hearing these words, Zheng Xu’s expression turned ugly . He inwardly sneered, Let’s see you try and act cocky when you’re curled up on the ground!
“Who do you think will win, Nie Yan or Zheng Xu?”
“Nie Yan, probably . But who knows . Their strength isn’t that far apart . 100–200 kg can be easily be made up with fighting skill . ”
The nearby students discussed spiritedly . Everyone expressed differing opinions .
What they didn’t know was that Zheng Xu and Nie Yan weren’t even on the same level in terms of combat experience . After all, Nie Yan was a seasoned assassin . His techniques were ruthless and efficient, not flashy and impractical like those who only fought for sport .
“I’ll make the first move,” Zheng Xu said .
“Come!” Nie Yan replied .
The students enthusiastically cheered . They took a few steps back to give the fighters more space .
Zheng Xu let out a low shout . He rushed forward and fiercely chopped down .
Nie Yan reacted quickly, raising an arm to block . Bang! He elbowed Zheng Xu in the chest . His movements were as fast as lightning .
Zheng Xu had no way to dodge . With a grunt, he threw out a knee strike . He was aiming for mutual destruction .
Nie Yan dodged to the side . Retreating several paces back, he threw out a spinning back kick toward Zheng Xu’s head .
Zheng Xu quickly raised his arm to block . BAM! He was sent staggering back .
Nie Yan and Zheng Xu exchanged several moves in an instant . They were basically trading blow for blow . The spectators felt their hearts racing . Each punch, elbow, knee, and kick resounded through the gym . If they took such heavy blows, their bones would break .
Zhen Xu took several blows head-on . He was inwardly crying out in pain . Even though he had added special protection to his joints and other areas, Nie Yan’s attacks still hurt immensely . His entire body ached as he felt his blood churning from every impact . What powerful attacks! If he hadn’t made some preparations in advance, he probably wouldn’t have lasted more than two moves!
Nie Yan was too powerful . His combat style was domineering and oppressive . Zheng Xu couldn’t even muster the power to resist .
Nie Yan was also taken aback . His arms, his legs, his whole body was aching . It felt like he was hitting an incomparably hard steel plate . The rebound force made his arms and legs numb . With his first elbow strike, he didn’t expect Zheng Xu to accept the blow so readily . Given the force behind it, Zheng Xu should at least have broken a few ribs . However, the person in question appeared completely fine . He finally realized what was going on . Zheng Xu was cheating!
With how much science and technology had developed these days, as long as you had the money, it was possible to purchase nanocomposite bio-metal augmentations which greatly enhanced a person's resilience and durability .
If Nie Yan exposed him here and now, Zheng Xu would have no way of avoiding disciplinary action from the Top Military Academy . It was mandatory to inform your opponent of this type of augmentation in advance, or else if a death occurred during the match, it would be treated as first-degree murder .
Whether in terms of strength or skill, Zheng Xu simply wasn’t Nie Yan’s match . He would only last two or three moves . Even with the bio-armour, he could only passively defend, with no opportunity to retaliate .
Nie Yan gazed at Zheng Xu with cold eyes . He inwardly sneered . This fellow wanted to screw him over with the bio-armour . He was going to teach Zheng Xu a painful lesson .
“Zheng Xu, you really were downplaying yourself too much earlier . I didn’t expect you to be so resilient . You could even take one of my elbows to the chest and shrug it off like it was nothing . Seems like you were still holding back . I guess I’ll go all out . Please, give me guidance,” Nie Yan said . He instantly cut off Zheng Xu’s path of retreat . He also gave himself a good excuse to be heavy-handed .
What!? Zheng Xu widened his eyes in alarm . The exchange just now left him in a world of hurt . He actually wanted to avoid Nie Yan’s elbow strike, but he was too slow to react . He had no way of keeping up . Hearing Nie Yan’s words, his cheeks burned hot with embarrassment . He wondered if Nie Yan had figured out he was wearing bio-armour .
No matter . He had nothing to fear since he was wearing bio-armour . He would simply keep trading blow for blow . He refused to believe Nie Yan could endure . As long as he protected his head, he would be safe .
“I’d like to say the same . You’re even stronger than I thought,” Zheng Xu continued feigning ignorance . With so many girls watching him, he couldn’t lose face .
Zheng Xu pounced forward and threw a punch . Nie Yan dodged the attack aimed at his chest with a sidestep .
Zheng Xu quickly followed up by kicking at Nie Yan’s waist .
Idiot! Nie Yan snickered . Evading the kick, his left hand grabbed onto Zheng Xu’s ankle with a vice-like grip .
Zheng Xu struggled fiercely, but he couldn’t pull his leg back . He felt a sharp pain in his ankle . It felt like his bones were being crushed .
This grip strength was terrifying!
Nie Yan raised his right leg, then delivered a ruthless sidekick to Zheng Xu’s chest .
BAM! Zheng Xu felt a powerful impact on his chest . Even with most of the force mitigated by his bio-armour, he still felt like he was hit by a truck .
Zheng Xu flew six meters across the gymnasium before crashing into the ground and rolling for several more meters .
The spectators were speechless . This kick was too frightful . It was enough to send a full grown adult flying six meters through the air . Just what kind of power was required for that!?
Even if you didn’t die from such a kick, you’d still be barely clinging onto life .
Zheng Xu was done for . Everyone was sure of it .
Zhao Shiyu paled in fright . Even though she knew Zheng Xu was wearing bio-armour, she couldn't help but fear for his life . She didn’t expect Nie Yan to be so strong . Zheng Xu had no opportunity to fight back at all . The gap in strength between the two of them was clear for all to see . Even though he was wearing bio-armour, he still wasn’t Nie Yan’s match .
Nie Yan was much stronger than everyone expected .
“I think the only one who’s a match for Nie Yan in the entire Top Military Academy is Lei Su,” a spectator said in a cold sweat .
This was the first time Zheng Xu had been humiliated so badly . He wasn’t willing to back down, especially since Zhao Shiyu promised him she would be his girlfriend if he won . Thinking to this point, he forced himself back to his feet . Thanks to the bio-armour, none of his injuries were too serious . It was just that he was aching from head to toe .
Zheng Xu could actually still stand? The spectators immediately went into an uproar .
“Impossible! There’s no way someone’s body can be so resilient! He’s cheating! He must be!”
“Zheng Xu is cheating!” the crowd cried out in righteous indignation . Cheating in a fair match was one of the most despicable things you could do!
Zheng Xu realized his mistake after getting up . He should’ve just continued laying on the ground . At this moment, anyone with half a brain could tell he was wearing bio-armour . He flew into a rage . With a roar, he pounced toward Nie Yan .
“I’ve been waiting for this!” Nie Yan sneered . He pulled back, deftly dodging Zheng Xu’s attack . His left hand shot out and grabbed onto Zheng Xu’s wrist . He turned his body to the side . Pushing off from his wait, he focused all his power into his right arm and punched out .
BANG! Nie Yan's fist struck Zheng Xu in the chest, causing him to spit out blood .
Nie Yan wasn’t finished just yet . If he let a fellow like Zheng Xu off lightly, it would come back to bite him in the future . He wanted to make sure Zheng Xu would stay bedridden for at least several months . He wanted to engrave this memory deep into Zhang Xu’s psyche, so that the next time they met, Zheng Xu would stay far away!
Nie Yan threw out a roundhouse kick, ruthlessly striking Zheng Xu in the face . Zheng Xu let out a miserable cry as he collapsed to the ground .
Even though Zheng Xu’s body was protected by the bio-armour, he couldn’t possibly have it on his face as well .
Nie Yan came to a stop . Zheng Xu was curled up on the ground moaning . With this kind of damage, he would need at least a few months to recover . Even after recovering, he would probably never mess with Nie Yan again .
Zheng Xu was the first to violate the rules . Even though Nie Yan acted heavy handedly, the school would still place all the blame on Zheng Xu . Perhaps he would even receive demerits while nothing would happen to Nie Yan . Everything Nie Yan had done was within the rules . Injuries often occurred during matches . As long as no one died, it was fine .
Zhao Shiyu quickly found the school’s medical staff . Shortly after, Zheng Xu was transported to the medical center .
The students in the class looked at Nie Yan in shock . The match just now left a lasting impression in their minds . Nie Yan wasn’t someone to be provoked!
Xu Yan, Fei Zhe, and Xia Tianyu were dumbstrcuk . They didn’t expect Nie Yan to dominate the fight so one-sidedly . Zheng Xu was wearing bio-armour, and he still couldn’t even last a minute against Nie Yan! What an absolute freak!
“You’re too amazing! I’ve decided . From now on, you’re my boss!” Xu Yan said excitedly . The match just now had his blood pumping .
“Hey, do you think you can teach us some of your moves?” Fei Zhe asked with a bright smile . He really admired Nie Yan’s skills . If he could pass on some of that to them, it would definitely be beneficial .
“Sure . ” Nie Yan laughed . He had no problem sharing a few tricks .
Xia Tianyu had previously still wanted to compete against Nie Yan . However, after watching the fight, those thoughts disappeared . He let go of his pride . Fighting a freak like Nie Yan was simply asking for trouble .
The four chatted while returning to class .
Zhao Shiyu stared at Nie Yan’s departing figure with a complicated expression . After watching Zheng Xu's crushing defeat, she no longer had the courage to provoke Nie Yan . If she really pissed him off, she would be inviting disaster upon herself .
