Chapter 615: Chinese Martial Arts
Seeing the oncoming attack, Xiao Han swiftly used both hands to fend off the opponent's assault.
Boom...
The strike was powerful, and Xiao Han immediately staggered, his figure becoming unsteady, and he fell to the ground, kneeling with a thud on one knee.
"Ouch..." Xiao Han sucked in a breath of pain.
Smith pressed the advantage, seeing Xiao Han falling down like that. Smith quickly lunged forward, attacking Xiao Han with the speed of lightning too fast for the ear to cover. Smith was proficient in martial arts, which mainly involved fists and feet, and knees, too.
The knee is the hardest part of the body to attack with, and he swiftly slammed his knee viciously toward his opponent.
"Not good!" Zhang Feng cried out, sensing trouble.
Smith frowned, grabbing Xiao Han's shoulder with one hand and striking violently with his knee.
Xiao Han stacked his hands and blocked them in front of Smith. They collided with force at that moment.
Bang...
A muffled sound rang out as Smith's knee struck Xiao Han's palms. Xiao Han's stacked palms had a buffer between them, which dissolved much of Smith's attack at maximum extent. Smith felt as if his knee had hit cotton, feeling nothing at all.
Smith frowned deeply, not expecting Xiao Han to still have the strength to defend at this time.
"This time, you're surely done for." Smith grabbed Xiao Han's shoulders, hehe chuckling, "Let's see you escape this time."
After speaking, Smith launched another attack.
This time, Xiao Han appeared incredibly calm and composed.
A cold smirk lifted the corners of his mouth as he then said, "All right."
As Smith's knee came at him swiftly, Xiao Han blocked the opponent's three attacks in a row. Just as Smith was prepared for his final assault, Xiao Han gritted his teeth, instantly reversing the situation by grabbing the opponent's ankle with one hand and forcefully twisting it, his body like a giant wrench, directly flipping the opponent over.
The moment Smith raised his foot, only one foot was on the ground, unable to maintain his balance. Hence, he fell down on the spot.
Thump...
Smith tried to jump back twice, but his foot was firmly clutched by Xiao Han, leaving him no chance to escape. As Smith fell, the surrounding crowd burst into an eager round of applause.
Clap clap clap...
Everyone clapped their hands.
"Beat him, thrash him!"
"Knock this foreigner down, knock this foreigner down!"
The spirit of the nation erupted at that moment, finding its release. Everyone was shouting and yelling crazily at that time, simply because they all had the blood of the Descendants of Yan and Huang flowing in their veins, they all had the blood of the Chinese Nation within them.
The crowd shouted in chorus.
Xiao Han rolled over and immediately flipped onto Smith. His hands swiftly locked around Smith's neck, wrenching it tightly without giving Smith any chance to struggle. He laughed coldly, then said, "How about that, you lost again."
Smith clenched his teeth as he struggled to break free, but after a moment, he realized Xiao Han was like an iron lock, holding him firmly, leaving him no chance to struggle.
After a long while, Smith gave up his struggle. He let out a breath, then raised his hand as he could no longer make any sound with his mouth. He could only lift his hand to indicate his defeat.
Roar roar roar...
Surrounding them, a wave of cheers and roars erupted.
Xiao Han won, Xiao Han had won three consecutive times. This was enough to prove that the Chinese were invincible.
Xiao Han immediately let go of Smith, then said, "You should have nothing to say now, right?"
"Right!" Smith nodded unwillingly, "This time, I've lost."
"Are you convinced?" Xiao Han asked coldly.
"I concede," Smith nodded.
"Then do you remember what you said at the beginning?" Xiao Han asked with a smile.
Smith hesitated for a moment before he kneeled on one knee and said, "Xiao Han, you are the most formidable Chinese I have ever met, I hold great admiration for you!"
"Haha..." Upon hearing this, Xiao Han burst into a hearty laugh and walked over, helping Smith up from the ground, saying, "Don't mention it, let's get up. Today we were only sparring, it wasn't a fight to the death."
"I..." Smith hesitated.
After all, he was a person brought by Qin Xiaotian; if he just admitted defeat like that, it would be a huge loss of face for Qin Xiaotian. When he looked at Qin Xiaotian, Qin Xiaotian's face was displeased, indeed very dark.
"Yes, I lost!" Smith nodded.
Qin Xiaotian flew into a rage upon hearing this, cursing, "Smith, you promised me you would not lose, what the hell happened now?"
Smith was momentarily stunned, then he said, "I'm sorry, I lost. That's the fact. I thought my opponent was just a student, at most an amateur Sanshou fighter, but me, I am a professional Sanshou fighter. How could he possibly be my match? It appears I greatly underestimated Chinese martial arts."
Roar roar roar...
When these words came from the foreigner's mouth, they immediately erupted into cheers. The last bit of vanity in the hearts of the Chinese burst forth, and everyone cheered, shouting until every face showed a trace of ecstatic triumph.
"Good, good, Xiao Han, you're amazing."
"Xiao Han, you're the best."
"Xiao Han, you're the toughest."
The crowd shouted in unison, everyone waving their hands and screaming.
Xiao Han turned around to look at the crowd. Among them, Lan Yudie stood out. For a woman to appear among a group of men made her particularly conspicuous. Xiao Han looked at Lan Yudie and then burst into laughter: "Xiao Yu!"
"Xiao Han!" Lan Yudie couldn't contain her excitement any longer and ran over swiftly.
Xiao Han opened his arms, ready to embrace Lan Yudie.
However, Lan Yudie knew that they were in public and with hundreds of students around, it would look bad if they saw her. So instead of throwing herself into Xiao Han's arms, she hurried over and punched him in the chest, saying, "You jerk, do you know how worried you made me?"
"Ha ha..." Xiao Han laughed aloud. "Yes, yes, I made you worry, but didn't you see that I won?"
"Yes, you're the toughest!" Lan Yudie pouted.
Ignoring the large group of students around, Xiao Han excitedly scooped Lan Yudie into his arms in a princess carry, lifting her off the ground.
"Stop, stop... let me go!" Lan Yudie struggled frantically.
Ha ha...
Cheering broke out instantly on the scene.
Lan Yudie clung tightly to Xiao Han, afraid she would be dropped from mid-air. Her hands gripped Xiao Han's neck firmly as she hung onto him. She yelled out, "Xiao Han, let me go, stop…"
The surrounding area erupted into cheers.
At this moment, Qin Xiaotian stood up from his chair, an annoyed expression on his face, and turned to leave.
"Stop right there!" Zhang Feng stepped forward to block his path.
"What are you doing?!" Qin Xiaotian furrowed his brow angrily. "Dare you block my way?"
"Heh heh, you've lost the match. Are you just going to walk away like that?" Zhang Feng smiled slightly. "Where in the world is it so easy?"
"What do you want?" Qin Xiaotian was unafraid and met this with a cold smile of his own. "Surely you don't think you can bite me, do you?"
"I wouldn't bite you." Zhang Feng shook his head. "Since you've lost, shouldn't you pay some sort of price?"
"Exactly, make him pay the price!" Liu Bin shouted loudly.
Everyone followed suit, shouting, "Don't let him run away, make him stay."
The fight had been instigated by Qin Xiaotian, and now he was about to leave without paying any price for his provocation. Who would let him leave so easily?
"What do you want to do!" Qin Xiaotian panicked slightly. Even though his family had a strong background, if these people rioted, he might end up beaten to death. If responsibility was pursued later, it probably wouldn't look good for him.
"What do you want to do?" Xiao Han put down Lan Yudie and walked over slowly, then he laughed and said, "Didn't you make a fierce declaration on the forum? Whoever loses has to kneel down and call the winner 'Grandpa', and if someone doesn't show up, they automatically admit to being a 'grandson'."
"You!" Qin Xiaotian felt his scalp tingle upon hearing this.
To humiliate Xiao Han, Qin Xiaotian had made quite a spectacle of promoting this fight, and indeed several hundred people had shown up. These people were all potential witnesses, and if Qin Xiaotian kneeled down and called Xiao Han 'Grandpa', the news would spread instantaneously. Soon, the whole provincial city would probably know. Therefore, Qin Xiaotian would rather die than yield.
"You wish!" Qin Xiaotian stiffened his neck.
"Alright then!" Xiao Han sneered. "Everyone here is a witness. You all still might see the message Qin Xiaotian posted on the forum. Now that he's lost, we Chinese men honor our word—when we say something, we mean it. But he won't admit defeat, and he refuses to submit. What do you say we should do?"
"Beat him."
"Yeah, beat him until he admits defeat."
The crowd started shouting.
Seeing the great dispute among the people present, Qin Xiaotian grew anxious. Furrowing his brow he asked, "Xiao Han, what do you want?"
"I don't want much, just stick to the agreement!" Xiao Han smiled.
"You!" Qin Xiaotian almost choked and said through gritted teeth, "Don't even think about it!"
"Then I'll leave it to you." Xiao Han smiled and added, "If you want to leave, I can't stop you."
Hearing this, Qin Xiaotian turned and walked away.
