As the first match was announced, a commotion erupted in the VIP stands .
"A present White Tiger Dojo disciple fighting an ex-White Tiger Dojo disciple! This match is going to be interesting!"
Those in the VIP stands were all insiders of the fighting industry . They had already investigated every fighter that had advanced through the elimination round . They were all aware of You Ziping's background .
You Ziping had been a relatively talented disciple of the White Tiger Dojo . He had become an intermediate disciple despite being so young . If he continued to work hard for another year or two, he definitely could have become an advanced disciple .
Becoming an advanced disciple in the White Tiger Dojo was basically a guarantee that one could qualify for the national fighting competitions .
Yet, for some inconceivable reason, You Ziping had shown up as one of the Big Dipper Dojo's representatives .
As the audience in the VIP stands discussed the matter quietly, Jiang Tianyuan wore a twisted expression . You Ziping's actions were a slap in the face for the White Tiger Dojo . The dojo would become a laughingstock .
"Hall Master, rest assured; Liao Huajie will teach the boy how wrong and foolish his decision was," Xie Qiwen said, smiling .
He had waited for this day for a long time .
Although You Ziping was slightly more skilled than Liao Huajie, the latter had far more combat experience . Liao Huajie could easily defeat You Ziping .
With You Ziping's defeat, they would show everyone the White Tiger Dojo's strength while leaving a stain on the Big Dipper Dojo's reputation . He could even cripple You Ziping in the process . This was practically killing three birds with one stone .
There was no possibility of Liao Huajie's defeat . He was very familiar with You Ziping's skills . The teen would need another one or two years of arduous training to reach the national level . Meanwhile, Liao Huajie's strength was not as simple as everyone assumed .
…
Below the main stage, the various fighters watched Liao Huajie and You Ziping on the main stage . They were very curious to see the outcome of this fight .
Unlike everyone else, a flash of concern appeared in Yu Yiqing's eyes as she watched You Ziping stretch . She then quietly moved towards Shadow Sword and Turtledove, who also watched the match . Quietly, she said, "If you two are You Ziping's friends, you must stop this fight . Liao Huajie is not as simple as you think . He is one of our main branch's watchmen . If you don't stop You Ziping before the match starts, he will be in danger . "
"A watchman?" Shadow Sword and Turtledove turned to Yu Yiqing, their expressions turning serious when they heard this . "Are you telling the truth?"
Yu Yiqing was a member of the White Tiger Dojo . Although they did not know what Yu Yiqing intended by warning them, they knew that watchmen should not be underestimated .
Those who weren't familiar with the various dojos and training centers might not know what the term "watchman" implied . However, those who focused on breaking into the industry's inner circle were familiar with the word .
To put it simply, a watchman determined if a disciple was worthy of focused nurturing .
After all, a dojo or training center's resources were limited . It was not possible to provide tons of resources to every member .
Hence, anyone who could defeat the designated watchman would receive the dojo's attention and vice versa . This maintained the quality of the establishment's best disciples .
Watchmen were no weaker than those favored disciples .
Rather, the opposite was true .
On average, watchmen were stronger . Generally, watchmen were experts the establishment's upper echelons had chosen unanimously . Although watchmen were forced to hide their achievements during their service, once their term ended, they would receive their dojo's best training . Moreover, as compensation, they would have access to an abundance of resources during their service . As a result, many people aspired to become watchmen . Unfortunately, very few were ever chosen .
Although not every dojo and training center had watchmen, it was normal for a peak dojo like the White Tiger Dojo .
"Why would I lie to you?" Yu Yiqing rolled her eyes at Shadow Sword and Turtledove . She was one of the White Tiger Dojo's geniuses . She didn't need petty tricks to defeat her opponents . "Although I'm not trying to brag, Lu Huajie is no weaker than I am . You Ziping stands no chance against him . Moreover, Lu Huajie is famed for his mercilessness during fights . "
"He's as strong as you are?" Turtledove asked as she evaluated Yu Yiqing .
"If I fought him, I'd have a sixty-forty chance of winning," Yu Yiqing said after giving the matter some thought .
Lu Huajie had been hiding his strength . Only the dojo's upper echelons knew his true skill . Meanwhile, she was the genius Tang Jingyao's future successor, so she was at least on par with Lu Huajie . However, to convince the Big Dipper Dojo to take Lu Huajie more seriously, she exaggerated his strength a little bit .
"So, that's the case . We shouldn't need to notify the Guild Leader, then . " Turtledove breathed a sigh of relief .
Shadow Sword nodded in agreement . He, too, didn't think this matter was worth Shi Feng's time .
"You guys…" Turtledove and Shadow Sword's response dumbfounded Yu Yiqing momentarily . Although she tried to ask if they truly understood the severity of the matter, they shut her up with a word of thanks . As a result, she could only walk away, fuming as she realized that Shadow Sword and Turtledove were just as stubborn as You Ziping . None of them could be reasoned with!
As Yu Yiqing tried to think of a way to convince You Ziping to drop out of the match, the timer above the main stage began to count down .
"You Ziping, I had thought you were better than this . I had believed that you could have joined the main branch after another year or two . But you crossed the line today . You betrayed the White Tiger Dojo . Today, I show you the price for that betrayal," Lu Huajie said as he stopped two meters away from You Ziping . Sneering, he continued, "Brother Qiwen has asked me to pass you a message . You are 100 years too early if you wish to compete on his level!"
Suddenly, Lu Huajie moved . Executing Swimming Dragon Steps, he was instantly within attack range of You Ziping . He then launched a flying knee kick at You Ziping's face . At the same time, his arms lashed towards You Ziping's neck like whips . Lu Huajie's attacks were extremely vicious . From the very onset of the match, he aimed for You Ziping's life .
Against an attack to the face, fighters instinctively go on the defensive, ignore attacks from other directions . However, Lu Huajie wanted more from his flying knee attack than You Ziping's focus on defending himself . Martial artists frequently practiced conquering their defensive instincts . Rather, Lu Huajie wanted to distract his opponent with the initial attack, preventing You Ziping from noticing the attacks aimed for his neck .
As Lu Huajie's knee flew towards You Ziping's face, You Ziping dashed forward, instead of retreating .
"That guy is insane!"
The fighters below the stage were shocked by You Ziping's suicidal counter . If the knee struck his face, he would die .
Is he trying to get himself killed? Lu Huajie was a little surprised by You Ziping's actions . However, it didn't distract him from his attacks .
In the moment between life and death, You Ziping barely avoided the knee as he circled to Lu Huajie's side . When their bodies interlocked, You Ziping used centrifugal force to land a powered punch to Lu Huajie's back .
You Ziping's attack was as quick as lightning, giving his opponent no time to react .
Thud!
When You Ziping's fist met Lu Huajie's back, Lu Huajie felt as if he had been struck by a hammer . Immediately, Lu Huajie spat a mouthful of blood as the strike threw him over three meters away . By the time he hit the ground, Lu Huajie had lost consciousness . The entire process was complete in the blink of an eye .
"What…just…happened?"
Practically everyone watching the fight was stunned .
Just as they thought that Lu Huajie would win, You Ziping stood on the stage alone .
"The fight ended so quickly! Can somebody tell me what just happened?! I didn't see anything!"
Many of the spectators stared in shock, confused about what had just happened .
