Chapter 14: a malicious heart
At this very moment, Yuli suddenly kicked out, and a bright light burst out from her leg.
Secret technique! Wild Horse Knight's Kick!
Yuli leaped into the air, she delivered a powerful flying kick.
The internal energy around Yuli coiled and twisted, eventually taking the form of a rearing black horse with its hooves kicking! The fierce wind from her feet even let out an ear - piercing howl!
It was a martial art skill!
Amid a deafening roar, Bai Xiaoyi was sent flying over ten meters backward. He rolled several times on the ground, and the lance and round shield in his hands were flung away on the spot.
Even with the protection of the magic - energy armor, the power of this strike far exceeded what Bai Xiaoyi could endure.
Lying on his back, he gasped in pain. Two distinct footprints even appeared on the chest armor.
Before he could get up, a sword was already thrust forward, directly pressing against his throat.
"The battle is over, Bai Xiaoyi!"
Yuli, standing sideways in front of Bai Xiaoyi, was full of high spirits at this moment.
Holding the sword in one hand, pointing it at the enemy, her black ponytail fluttered in the wind, and her two black horse ears kept twitching.
Seeing this scene, the students around burst into rounds of applause, and some couldn't help exclaiming.
She actually managed to execute a martial art skill with a second - level strength, and the skill was so powerful! Yuli truly lived up to her reputation as a genius and the offspring of a hero!
Bai Xiaoyi looked at Yuli standing in front of him. His body, which had been struggling to get up, went limp, and he fell back heavily onto the ground.
Yuli smiled upon seeing this, retracted her sword, and extended her hand to him.
This act of kindness made Bai Xiaoyi freeze.
Frowning as he looked at the arm - guard Yuli was offering, Bai Xiaoyi hesitated for a couple of seconds, but still reached out his hand.
Their palms met, and Yuli directly pulled Bai Xiaoyi up.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the arm armor of Bai Xiaoyi's hand that was holding Yuli's arm - guard suddenly unfolded, transforming into layers of shackles that locked their arms together!
Before the shocked Yuli could react, Bai Xiaoyi's other hand suddenly struck out, hitting Yuli's abdomen right on!
Charged Fist!
The internal energy of his whole body was absorbed by the magic - energy armor and then quickly concentrated on his fist.
Although Bai Xiaoyi couldn't perform martial art skills like Yuli, the armor on his body, which combined high - tech and magic power, could mimic martial art skills to form moves!
With one punch, Yuli, whose left hand was locked and whose right hand had no time to draw the sword, was hit on the spot. Her body arched into a 'C' shape, completely hanging on the opponent's fist.
A mouthful of blood spurted out, splattering all over Bai Xiaoyi's head and face!
"It's not over yet! Second - stage charge!"
Ignoring the blood that splashed into his eyes, Bai Xiaoyi let out a roar. The internal energy rapidly absorbed in the armor concentrated and burst out again!
Yuli, who was already off the ground, was hit in the abdomen by this second - wave of impact. Her whole body was blasted out on the spot.
But because her arm was locked, she was forcibly yanked back after flying half a meter.
"Magic - energy Over - the - Shoulder Throw!"
Holding Yuli's arm, who was unable to resist, Bai Xiaoyi, with the help of the armor's power, actually forcefully swung Yuli into the air and then smashed her heavily onto the ground!
Three consecutive attacks comparable to martial arts skills, and with Yuli caught completely off - guard, she was now slumped on the ground, her internal energy completely dispersed.
The sudden unexpected situation left the surroundings deathly silent. Even the teacher, Zhao Youran, froze in place.
It wasn't surprising that they were stunned. At the moment when Bai Xiaoyi accepted Yuli's kindness, the match should have ended, logically.
Who could have expected that this guy would launch a sudden, unethical sneak attack!
And what could this sneak attack bring him? Victory? No, no, no! This would only make everyone dislike him. The contestant representing the class would still be Yuli!
The students understood this, Teacher Zhao Youran understood this, and Bai Xiaoyi, who launched the sneak attack, also understood this.
Since he dared to launch the sneak attack, he naturally had his reasons.
Yes, Yuli had indeed won! She was bound to represent Class 2, Grade 3 in the competition! Unless...
A fierce glint flashed in his eyes! A malicious grin appeared on Bai Xiaoyi's face.
In the face of Yuli's stunned expression as she lay on the ground, this guy suddenly raised his leg. The internal energy of his whole body gathered at the leg armor, and he stomped heavily towards Yuli's left knee...
"Stop!!!"
Sensing something was wrong, Zhao Youran suddenly burst out with her full - fledged fourth - level internal energy. She charged forward and punched Bai Xiaoyi right in the chest.
This punch sent Bai Xiaoyi flying backwards. He flew over a distance of more than twenty meters and hit the wall heavily. Even the wall was covered with dense cracks.
But it was all too late. Yuli, whose knee was stepped on by the opponent, couldn't help but let out a scream and curled up into a ball.
And her injured left leg was already twisted beyond recognition.
Disabled!!!
"Bai Xiaoyi! You've gone too far!!!"
Seeing that her own student had ended up in such a situation, Zhao Youran was furious. She grabbed Bai Xiaoyi's face - guard and lifted him up.
However, Bai Xiaoyi, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, grinned at this moment.
"Teacher, I think it would be better to treat her injuries first."
"You... You're no longer my student!"
Throwing Bai Xiaoyi heavily to the ground, Zhao Youran carefully picked up Yuli and rushed towards the infirmary.
Half an hour later, in the principal's office.
Zhao Youran stood motionless in front of the principal's desk, with a very stubborn expression.
The principal, along with two vice - principals, looked at the documents in their hands with gloomy expressions.
"How's Yuli's injury?"
"Principal, the doctor said there's residual internal energy in her left leg. Although there won't be any sequelae, it will take at least three days to completely cure it..."
"Three days. There's only one day left until the Northern High School League. After tomorrow, we'll have to go to the competition the day after tomorrow. We can't wait three days."
"But…"
"There's no 'but'. This can be considered a lesson for that little girl. Being kind to the enemy can harm herself."
Hearing this, Zhao Youran lowered her head deeply, her fists slowly clenching.
"Then who will represent our class in the competition?"
"Aren't there still a genius in your class?"
"Bai Xiaoyi?!"
Zhao Youran's voice was filled with gritted teeth, her eyes wide open in shock.
"You want him to represent our class in the competition?!"
"Do you have any other candidates?"
"But I've already expelled him from the class!"
"That's a matter after the competition. In your class, the most capable fighters, apart from Yuli, are Bai Xiaoyi. We can't just send some third - rate student to make a fool of ourselves, can we?"
"If we have to let him participate, our Class 2, Grade 3 would rather forfei
As soon as Zhao Youran said this, the principal and the two vice - principals put down the materials in their hands and looked at her sharply.
"Teacher Zhao Youran! The Northern High School League is no joke! It will be broadcast live nationwide!"
"I know! But that bastard is counting on this!"
"I know his character is bad, but this competition is related to the honor of the school. Your class must send a representative! And it must be someone from your class! Sending someone from outside won't do. Otherwise, we'll be laughed at!"
"But!"
"I know you look down on him. In fact, we do too. What he did is so despicable that he doesn't deserve to be a martial artist. But now, we're in a desperate situation and have no choice but to take this measure."
Taking off his glasses, the principal closed his eyes.
"Let him participate. As for Yuli's injury… The school will fully cover her medical expenses. And the school will give her a guaranteed admission quota to any key university for registration as compensation."
Hearing this, Zhao Youran opened her mouth but finally said nothing.
She bowed slightly and then turned to leave.
After she left, one of the vice - principals beside him frowned and couldn't help but say.
"Principal, the guaranteed admission quota is too precious. Our school only has three a year. Is this compensation a bit…"
The principal waved his hand, interrupting the vice - principal's words.
"It's different. She's different. She's the descendant of the Wild Horse Knights. The Wild Horse Knights almost all died in the battle to save our northern region. And we old - timers, talking about protecting the city and the common people, hid in the city and didn't dare to go to the battlefield. Hehe, we owe them. A guaranteed admission quota is not too much. On the contrary, it's too little, far too little…"
