Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Who Taught You These Dirty Tricks?
Shen Yuzhe’s tone was extremely provocative.
It made the veins on Zhou Qi’s forehead bulge instantly.
He shot up from his position on the floor.
A glint of coldness flashed in his eyes as he said with a slight smile, "You’re right, senior. Please, continue to enlighten me!"
The next moment, before Shen Yuzhe could react,
Zhou Qi’s fist turned into a claw, and he lunged straight for Shen Yuzhe’s neck.
He moved as fast as a bolt of lightning.
In an instant, his hand was right there.
Shen Yuzhe’s expression changed slightly, and he quickly retreated.
But Zhou Qi’s assault didn’t let up; he continued to charge at Shen Yuzhe.
Shen Yuzhe shifted his body slightly, trying to neutralize Zhou Qi’s attack.
However, Zhou Qi seemed to have anticipated this.
Just as Shen Yuzhe turned to the side,
the corner of Zhou Qi’s mouth curled up. His claw became a palm, and he slapped out horizontally.
SMACK—
Shen Yuzhe didn’t have time to dodge and took a palm strike right to the chest.
At once, the students below the platform all gasped in astonishment.
This immediately made Shen Yuzhe, who had been so arrogant just a moment ago, lose face.
His gaze hardened, becoming sharper.
But Zhou Qi seemed to have no intention of giving him a moment’s rest.
His fists and feet fell upon Shen Yuzhe like an avalanche of rolling stones, wild and powerful.
For a time, Shen Yuzhe was forced into a purely defensive position.
He couldn’t even mount a counterattack against Zhou Qi.
Cold sweat began to trickle down his forehead.
Suddenly, the style of Zhou Qi’s attack changed. He leaped high into the air, bringing his elbow down on Shen Yuzhe from above.
A cold light appeared in Shen Yuzhe’s eyes, and he hastily took a large step back.
Just as Zhou Qi was about to land, he saw his chance and lunged forward.
BANG—
He threw a kick, but Zhou Qi easily parried it with both hands.
Zhou Qi chuckled. "Is that all you’ve got, senior? Looks like you’re not all that great after all!"
Then, Zhou Qi followed Shen Yuzhe’s leg and swiftly grabbed for his inner thigh.
"Holy shit... you punk..."
Shen Yuzhe’s face paled in shock, and he hurriedly tried to pull his leg back.
However, it was too late.
Zhou Qi’s hand was like an eagle’s talon, clamping down firmly on his thigh.
A piercing pain made Shen Yuzhe’s expression twist in agony.
In the brief moment he hesitated,
Zhou Qi’s hand was already moving up toward his inner thigh.
Seeing his ’little brother’ was in danger, Shen Yuzhe was on the verge of tears.
The next moment, Zhou Qi let out a wicked chuckle and pinched the flesh of his inner thigh.
"AH—"
With a cry of pain, Shen Yuzhe kicked out reflexively.
Zhou Qi was already prepared for this.
As if his feet were on springs, he lightly bounced backward.
He had learned this dirty move when sparring with Lin Yi.
Lin Yi had used it on him.
He knew all too well how much it hurt to get pinched on the inner thigh.
’I can’t believe I’m using this move on Shen Yuzhe today.’
Watching Shen Yuzhe rub his inner thigh with a contorted expression,
the students below the platform couldn’t help but snicker.
"Senior, can you still fight? Maybe you should take a break?"
Zhou Qi smiled breezily.
It seemed he had returned the earlier humiliation twofold.
Shen Yuzhe endured the throbbing pain in his thigh and looked at Zhou Qi. "Who taught you such a dirty move? Is this what your instructor teaches you?"
Zhou Qi laughed and shook his head. "Of course not. How could our instructor teach this stuff? I learned it from Lin Yi... He knows even dirtier moves than this. Why don’t you two have a go? He just got here!"
Zhou Qi pointed toward the elevator, where Lin Yi was leaning against the doorframe, watching the commotion.
In an instant, all eyes turned toward Lin Yi.
On the platform, Shen Yuzhe also saw Lin Yi standing there.
Suddenly, the students acted as if they had seen a superstar.
They rushed toward Lin Yi like a tide.
Over the past two days, Lin Yi’s fame had once again created a buzz within the Martial Arts Hall.
The news that he had joined forces with the Demon Hunting Bureau to clear out a Blood Drop Organization stronghold, resulting in the annihilation of all the Blood Drop Believers there, was no longer a secret in the Martial Arts Hall.
When Lin Yi was injured, many students had wanted to visit him.
But how could an infirmary like Danqing Hall be a place that just anyone could visit?
Only Zhou Qi, Sun Tao, and Hu Quan were able to go as representatives to check on him.
To think that Lin Yi, who was reportedly unconscious just yesterday,
would actually appear at the Martial Arts Hall today...
"Senior Brother Lin, what are you doing here?"
"Lin Yi, you just recovered. Why did you come to the Martial Arts Hall?"
"Senior Brother Lin, are your injuries all healed?"
"Senior Brother Lin Yi..."
In a flash, the students had completely surrounded Lin Yi.
In the crowd, a strange light also flickered in Shen Mengyi’s eyes.
She tried to get closer to Lin Yi, but she was pushed aside by the other students.
Meanwhile, on the platform, the moment Shen Yuzhe saw Lin Yi,
his expression became complicated.
"Senior Brother Shen, are we still fighting?"
Zhou Qi approached with a smile.
Shen Yuzhe snapped back to his senses and turned his head to look at Lin Yi, who was encircled by students.
"I hear he’s the most talented one among you?"
"What, does Senior Brother Shen want to fight Lin Yi?"
Zhou Qi said with a slight frown.
Shen Yuzhe nodded, but before he could speak,
Zhou Qi continued, "I’d advise you against it. He’s just recovered from his injuries, so it’s not even certain he can fight. And if you really did fight, you might not be his match!"
"And don’t say I didn’t warn you, that kid has a lot of dirty tricks up his sleeve!"
"Thigh pinches, eye pokes, groin kicks... you’ll never see them coming!"
Shen Yuzhe: "..."
Seeing his silence, Zhou Qi smiled and said, "Don’t even think about it. If you two really fought, you might not be able to beat him!"
"If you want to practice, I can be your partner!"
After speaking, Zhou Qi leaped off the platform and walked over to Lin Yi.
After a long while, Lin Yi finally managed to break free from the circle of his young male and female fans.
Escorted by Zhou Qi, Sun Tao, and the others, he went into the locker room.
Meanwhile, Shen Yuzhe found Shen Mengyi and pulled her into a deserted corner.
"Mengyi, do you remember what I told you?"
Shen Mengyi’s face instantly turned bright red.
She nodded lightly. "I remember, big brother!"
"Good that you remember. I support you, but whether or not you can win Lin Yi over is up to you!"
"You saw that scene just now. A lot of girls at your Martial Arts Hall admire him. That’s a dangerous sign!"
"You have to seize the opportunity. The one in a favorable position gets the prize first. Luckily, you’re both in the same Martial Arts Arena, which should make things easier!"
"You can do it! Your big brother supports you!"
Shen Yuzhe’s unusual behavior made Shen Mengyi feel increasingly puzzled.
Even if his reason was Lin Yi’s talent and the fact that he was certain to get into a Martial Arts University in the future.
This had always been Shen Yuzhe’s one and only strict requirement.
But even if he wasn’t going to stop Shen Mengyi from getting close to Lin Yi,
was there any need to be so pushy about her winning him over right away?
’What kind of big brother rushes to push his little sister into another guy’s arms?’
’Isn’t this a little too strange?’
However, Shen Yuzhe’s support,
actually made Shen Mengyi lose her previous confidence.
The more outstanding Lin Yi was, the more inexplicable pressure Shen Mengyi felt.
After a long pause, she said softly, "Big brother, he might not even be interested in me..."
"Get rid of that ’might not’! He will definitely like you!"
"My sister is so beautiful, practically campus-belle level. How could he not be interested?
Mengyi, trust me. I’m a man too; you think I don’t know what guys are thinking?"
"A man chasing a woman is like crossing a mountain; a woman chasing a man is like crossing a veil of gauze!"
"As long as you’re willing, making him surrender to your charms should be a piece of cake, right?"
"They’re coming out. In a bit, I’ll give you a little push, help you move things forward!"
After he finished speaking, Shen Mengyi quickly turned her head to look.
She saw Lin Yi, now changed into his Martial Arts Uniform, walking out and chatting happily with Zhou Qi, Sun Tao, and the others.
Before Shen Mengyi could even react,
Shen Yuzhe walked straight toward Lin Yi.
Shen Mengyi’s heart leaped in alarm, and she rushed forward to stop him.
"Big brother! Big brother, come back! Big brother..."
Shen Yuzhe acted as if he hadn’t heard her and walked right up to Lin Yi.
"You must be Lin Yi, right? We’ve met before!"
Lin Yi nodded politely. "Hello, senior. Can I help you with something?"
"I’d like to talk to you..." Shen Yuzhe said in a low voice.
