Chapter 164: Fans are in an Uproar, What is Zhang Beixing Doing?_3
"If you won't give face, then no one shall have face!"
Zhang Beixing didn't restrain himself in the slightest.
Ma Yuankai naturally caught the implication in Zhang Beixing's words. Instantly, his face turned red with anger, his beard bristling and his eyes glaring! This was especially true when he saw some disciples from his Primordial Form Intent School murmuring among themselves after hearing what Zhang Beixing said.
This made Ma Yuankai even more infuriated. "Grandmaster Zhang, I address you as Grandmaster out of respect, but you are going too far by spreading rumors and slandering my Primordial School! If you are capable, let's settle this on the stage. If I lose today, you can look through the Secret Manual of my Primordial School. But if you lose, you must apologize to the entire nation for slandering my Primordial School and restore our reputation!"
With that, Ma Yuankai stepped onto the stage, his tiger-like eyes fixing on Zhang Beixing with a fierce aura.
In response, Zhang Beixing simply sneered. Looking at Ma Yuankai disdainfully, he retorted, "A Secret Manual to make me gamble like this? Are you worthy? I can learn your Martial Arts with just a glance! My request isn't high. After you lose, let my mentor return the favor in the same manner you treated him. Do you dare accept?"
As soon as these words were uttered, Ma Yuankai, already short-tempered, burst like a barrel of gunpowder, igniting instantly.
His mindset shattered on the spot; wrath consumed his heart as he looked at Zhang Beixing, grinding his teeth. "Sharp-tongued and full of nonsense! Get on stage, now!"
"Today, I shall properly teach you a lesson on behalf of your useless mentor and show you what it means to respect your elders!"
"Even among Grandmasters, there are disparities!"
Seeing that this fellow was already provoked to his limit, even bursting out with an extremely arrogant and cringeworthy statement, Zhang Beixing knew that further provocation would yield no different results.
Without saying more, he simply took the long spear off his back, handed it to Liu Yi, and stepped onto the stage, casually loosening up his body.
Zhang Beixing then assumed the starting stance of the Yue Family Continuous Fist. "Zhang Beixing, fourteenth-generation inheritor of the Yue Family Continuous Fist, asks for your instruction!"
Though enraged, Ma Yuankai still adhered to certain formalities. He took up the starting stance of Xingyi Fist and faced Zhang Beixing. "Ma Yuankai, twenty-first generation successor of the Primordial Form Intent School, asks for your instruction!"
Having said that, the two bowed to each other.
The next second, ROAR—
A tiger's roar emanated from within Zhang Beixing.
After going through the formalities, neither Zhang Beixing nor Ma Yuankai wasted any more words and directly attacked each other.
Although Zhang Beixing verbally seemed to look down on Ma Yuankai, Ma Yuankai was, after all, a genuine Grandmaster who had been in the Grandmaster Realm for many years. Zhang Beixing wouldn't recklessly attack like a brute.
So for the first move, he only used about thirty percent of his strength to test the waters.
Coincidentally, Ma Yuankai had the same idea. Though infuriated, he wasn't controlled by his anger. Ma Yuankai knew Zhang Beixing was the youngest Grandmaster in Great Xia and exceptionally strong. So, even though he had been in the Grandmaster Realm for many years, he didn't dare to be careless. For the first move, he only used fifty percent of his strength to test.
With such thoughts, BANG! BANG!
Zhang Beixing and Ma Yuankai collided. Zhang Beixing used a ferocious Black Tiger Heart-Stealing technique. Ma Yuankai, not to be underestimated, immediately countered with Tiger Form Fist.
Their punches were incredibly fierce. If they were to hit an ordinary person, even without their full force, the person would be left half-dead and beaten senseless. But now, after several exchanges, neither could overpower the other.
THUD—
A muffled sound echoed as Zhang Beixing and Ma Yuankai simultaneously threw elbow strikes, colliding. Upon reading each other's intentions, they quickly switched moves, blocking with their arms and crashing together again.
Feeling the heavy force transmitted through their arms, the two exchanged glances and tacitly moved apart.
It's no wonder he's a Grandmaster of the older generation. Although the disciples he taught are somewhat despicable, his strength is not to be underestimated! Stepping back several paces and feeling his slightly numb arm, Zhang Beixing had, through their recent exchange, made a rough assessment of Ma Yuankai's strength.
Very strong, but still slightly inferior to me.
If I wished, I could end the fight quickly.
But there's no need! Zhang Beixing thought, intentionally holding back some of his strength. He was here not only to avenge Teacher Liu but also to covertly learn. He had to drain all of Ma Yuankai's worth before finishing him off.
Meanwhile, Ma Yuankai, massaging his trembling arm, was internally shocked!
He knew Zhang Beixing becoming the youngest Grandmaster in Great Xia meant he surely had something extraordinary about him. But he never expected Zhang Beixing to be so powerful!
It was one thing that their martial skills were not much different. The key was his physical conditioning!
Terrifying! How could someone train their body to such an extent? Ma Yuankai thought to himself, deeply shocked.
Even though he was getting older, he had always maintained his training, cultivating both internally and externally, preserving his vitality. His physical functions had not declined much. Even now, running another ten kilometers wouldn't be a big issue for him.
Yet facing Zhang Beixing, he felt an unprecedented strain! Even in his youth, he was far inferior!
In the past, facing such a formidable opponent, he would have surrendered long ago. It was merely a sparring match, after all. Losing and surrendering wasn't a big deal.
