Chapter 26: It Only Takes One Punch To Defeat You

The loudly cheering students had fallen silent. The challenge exchange match had a total of ten rounds. It was currently the fourth round and Red Flag High School had lost all the previous rounds. Even more embarrassingly, the representatives from Red Flag High School didn’t even last more than ten seconds in the first three rounds.

In the fourth round, Wang Yuting had managed to hold on for three minutes. But it was clear to everyone that her opponent had been holding back on purpose.

Is the skill gap so wide?

The students of Red Flag High School fell into a deathly silence. On the other hand, the students of Qishen Academy were laughing and cheering.

"Junior Sister Qi is only a freshman this year, and she easily defeated a senior from Red Flag High School."

"No wonder Red Flag High School is always at the bottom in the High School War God League. They don't deserve to win with this level of education."

"This is the difference in skill. Even dogs wouldn't attend Red Flag High School."

The students of Qishen Academy, dressed in expensive battle attire, deliberately spoke loudly to mock their opponents. While the students of Red Flag High School were flushing with anger, they had no way to refute in the face of such a vast gap in skill.

In the arena, Qi Yiqian's face was full of undisguised pride and smugness.

"I only joined Qishen Academy three months ago, and I can already trample over your senior students. I heard rumors that this worthless opponent is even a substitute for your school's battle team. What's your name again? Wang Yuting? Even the janitor at our school is stronger than you. Get lost and stop embarrassing yourself here."

She looked at her struggling opponent as she taunted Wang Yuting. Red Flag High School's representative Wang Yuting wasn't seriously injured but was so angered that she spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Is there anyone else?" Qi Yiqian raised her hand and pointed at the seating area on the south steps as she shouted arrogantly, "A bunch of useless trash, stop wasting time."

She was so conceited, she didn't even consider anyone else. The students of Red Flag High School remained silent with pained expressions. It wasn’t that they were afraid to fight, nor were they afraid of getting hurt. They were afraid of losing.

Embarrassment was one thing, but the key issue was that losing this routine challenge exchange match would result in Red Flag High School receiving even fewer resources from the Education Department. For a moment, the arena was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

At that moment, Zhou Yiyou, the leader of Qishen Academy, stood up. He had a superior smile on his face as he arrogantly said, "Since no one dares to fight, just admit defeat. Honestly, fighting an exchange match with trash like you is a complete waste of tim-"

"Who says no one dares to fight?" Li Xiaofei leaped forward from behind the crowd. He landed in the arena with a boom and said, "I'll fight."

Now that he had joined Red Flag High School, he felt a sense of collective honor. He was naturally chivalrous and eager to right wrongs; Li Xiaofei had never been a selfish person. So, he decided to step up.

"You?" Qi Yiqian glanced at him. "Pretty boy, you look handsome, but let's see if you can take a beating."

She made her move without hesitation as the dirt under her feet exploded like splashing water. In the next instant, Qi Yiqian was above Li Xiaofei's head. Her long leg gleamed with a silver light, slicing down viciously like a giant ax.

In response to her attack, Li Xiaofei casually swung his palm.

Smack.

Qi Yiqian performed a 3,300-degree spin and a 720-degree backflip in the air as she was sent flying.

Bang.

Her delicate body hit the ground heavily, and she fainted on the spot.

"Is that all?" Li Xiaofei said calmly, "How dare you come to Red Flag High School and show off with this level of skill?"

He looked at the students of Qishen Academy sitting on the steps and beckoned with his fingers. "Come on, next person."

After a brief moment of disbelief, the south stand erupted in a wave of cheers.

"Great, well done!"

"Haha, beautiful!"

The students of Red Flag High School were overjoyed and lost in excitement.

Of course, some students asked their classmates in confusion, "Who is this handsome senior? Why haven't I seen him before?"

On the other side, the students of Qishen Academy were both shocked and furious.

"How dare he hit so hard?"

"Senior Sister Qi is a girl! How could he humiliate her like that?"

"Unforgivable."

"Get him."

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Three Qishen Academy students simultaneously jumped into the arena. One of them ran over to help the slowly awakening Qi Yiqian and took her away. The other two stared daggers at Li Xiaofei. The students of Red Flag High School were instantly unhappy.

One of them said, "Shameless, are you going to break the rules of the exchange match and fight two against one?"

The two Qishen Academy students exchanged glances.

"Junior Brother Yue, you step back, I'll handle this madman."

"Senior Brother Chang, there's no need to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut, let me do it."

Neither of them wanted to back down as they both stepped forward in unison.

Li Xiaofei beckoned with his finger again and said, "No need to fight over it, I'm in a hurry, so both of you can come at me together."

"Arrogant, who do you think you are that we're worth teaming up against you?"

"Trash, you're overestimating yourself."

The two sneered in unison.

"Fools." Li Xiaofei sneered coldly, making the first move.

He surged forward with the Vajra Thunderous Strike. A faint golden light enveloped his fist, and its air pressure surged out like a furious dragon before his punch even landed.

Junior Brother Yue cried out in alarm as he channeled his starforce to defend with all his might, but he was instantly sent flying. Senior Brother Chang was stronger than his junior brother, so his entire body glowed with a faint blue light. He crossed his arms in front of him to form a blue light shield to withstand the strike.

Boom.

But the blue light shield shattered instantly when Li Xiaofei’s fist landed on it.

"Ughhh!” Chang Xuezhang spewed blood from his mouth as his body flew backward uncontrollably. He landed in a heap.

Li Xiaofei slowly retracted his fist.

"Too weak. Pathetic. You’re laughably weak." He taunted them with their own words as he continued, "Having an exchange match with trash like you is a pure waste of time."

The students of Red Flag High School were stunned.

Where did this hero come from?

The cheers that exploded out of the students was like a volcano erupting. They cheered, jumped, and screamed in delight. The sensation was simply too exhilarating.

On the other hand, the students of Qishen Academy were shocked and angry. They couldn’t believe what had just happened. But the holographic projection hovering above the arena repeatedly played back the slow-motion footage of the fight. It had only taken one punch to defeat two Qishen Academy students. The elegance of that punch left everyone amazed.

Even Grandpa Qin, the gatekeeper, had a different glint in his eyes. He murmured, "Looks like Little Chen found a real ancient martial arts genius this time."

At that moment...

"It's you?" Zhou Yiyou suddenly shouted, "You are that lowly person from the slum?"

He finally recognized Li Xiaofei. The handsome boy in the Red Flag High School uniform turned out to be the same humble lapdog from the slums.

"What? Just recognized me?" Li Xiaofei looked up as he crooked his finger at Zhou Yiyou, "Come, let me see if your strength matches your high and mighty arrogance from before." Li Xiaofei held grudges well.

Zhou Yiyou was taken aback at first, but he then sneered, "It seems you didn't heed my warning."

A lowly slum dweller with an ignorant obsession is dreaming of reaching for a delicate flower from the academy. Instead of staying quietly in the slums, he foolishly believed that attending school would erase his gangster past and make him an honorable person? How idiotic.

Zhou Yiyou moved, landing lightly in the arena like a breeze.

"Red Flag High School is really desperate if they’re accepting slum trash due to lack of students." He looked at Li Xiaofei in disdain, his confident expression radiating a powerful aura. "The ones who fought you earlier were just our academy's first-year students. They were just looking for some fun... But since you want to step up the game, I'll show you the real power of a senior from a top-tier high school in the rule-of-law district. I'll let you understand what despair truly means."

Li Xiaofei smiled and said, "One punch is all it would take to defeat you. I’ll admit defeat if it takes more than one."
