Xing Tian and Jiang Wuming, sharing similar childhood experiences, both lacked a sense of security and yearned for emotional connection.
Such individuals are deeply sentimental and habitually consider others' feelings.
Jiang Wuming understood Xing Tian, sensing the suppressed hatred within him. He also knew that Xing Tian, not wanting to cause trouble for him, had never initiated any conflict with Luo Yu. It was only when Luo Yu disrespected him that Xing Tian finally spoke up.
Just like Xing Tian, Jiang Wuming could overlook Ye Qian and Luo Yu's gossip about him. However, he could not tolerate Luo Yu, Ye Qian, and their friends repeatedly insulting Xing Tian, constantly calling him a bastard, reopening old wounds, and even rubbing salt into them!
"Uh..."
Upon hearing the consecutive words from Luo Yu and Jiang Wuming, the students from Yan Jing Martial Arts Academy were all stunned.
They had no idea what had happened, nor why Jiang Wuming had suddenly clashed with Luo Yu.
At the same time, they were shocked by Jiang Wuming's statement!
Luo Yu, at twenty-two, had cultivated to the ninth stage of the nine-star martial artist realm. He was hailed as the foremost martial arts prodigy of Yan Jing Martial Arts Academy, and was once mentioned in the same breath as Gu Tianlong, the young master of Dragon Gate, and Ye Kunlun, the young master of Kunlun!
Yet now, Jiang Wuming claimed that the young man beside him, Xing Tian, could defeat ten Luo Yus with just one hand...
How could this not shock them?
Indeed, if this statement hadn't come from Jiang Wuming, they would have thought the speaker was insane!
"You... What did you say?"
Luo Yu's eyes widened, staring at Jiang Wuming with disbelief, as if he suspected his ears had deceived him.
In his opinion, if Jiang Wuming were to act, he would believe that Jiang Wuming could defeat him ten times over with one hand!
After all, Jiang Wuming was at the tenth stage of the one-star War God realm!
As for Xing Tian...
He was merely in the nine-star martial artist realm!
In Luo Yu's eyes, looking across the entire Dragon Country and even the globe, unless he encountered a tenth-stage nine-star martial artist, he considered himself invincible within the nine-star martial artist realm!
"Senior Luo Yu, Master Wuming said that the big guy beside him can beat ten of you with one hand."
Inside the bar, the long-haired girl who had first asked Jiang Wuming for his autograph and a photo spoke up in response to Luo Yu.
She was relatively close to the booth where Luo Yu, Ye Qian, and others were seated. She had clearly overheard their conversation earlier and felt some dissatisfaction with Luo Yu and the others for slandering and humiliating Jiang Wuming and Xing Tian.
"Hahaha... That's the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life!"
Upon hearing the girl's words, Luo Yu laughed in anger, then looked at Xing Tian with a mocking expression, "Since Jiang Wuming has such confidence in you, let's have a fight. I want to see how you can beat ten of me with one hand!"
"Xing Tian, since that trash doesn't know his place and wants to challenge you, then teach him a lesson!"
Jiang Wuming spoke again, accepting the challenge on Xing Tian's behalf.
In fact, his earlier statement was precisely to provoke Luo Yu into issuing a challenge.
This way, Xing Tian would have no reservations and could unleash his full might against Luo Yu!
"Yes, Boss!"
Xing Tian nodded. Being simple-minded, he didn't realize Jiang Wuming was creating an opportunity for him to fight, but rather habitually followed orders.
As he spoke, Xing Tian glared at Luo Yu, "Let's go outside and fight!"
"Bastard, eight years ago, I didn't cripple you, and I still regret it. Today, you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, and I'll make amends for that regret!"
Luo Yu sneered, his body emanating a terrifying aura.
Xing Tian said no more, instead following Jiang Wuming out of the bar.
"Let's go!"
Luo Yu waved his hand, leading Ye Qian and the few fops around him and their girlfriends, as if afraid they would escape.
Swish!
Seeing this, whether it was the students from Yan Jing Martial Arts Academy or the bar owner and staff, they all followed suit, wanting to witness this battle.
Outside the Martial Arts Bar was a parking lot. Between the parking lot and the bar, there was a large open space.
After walking out of the bar, Jiang Wuming and Xing Tian stood on that open space.
Soon, Luo Yu, Ye Qian, and the few fops also emerged, followed by the students from Yan Jing Martial Arts Academy and the bar staff.
"Jiang Wuming, you should know the rules of martial arts challenges. According to the regulations of the Martial Department, no one is allowed to interfere in a challenge between martial artists, or they will face severe punishment from the Martial Department! If you dare to interfere later, I will immediately notify the Martial Department to arrest you!"
Ye Qian saw Jiang Wuming and Xing Tian standing together, frowned, and reminded him in a cold voice.
"I know that naturally, you don't need to remind me."
Jiang Wuming first responded to Ye Qian, then asked, "Who is Ye Zheng to you?"
"How dare you directly address my grandfather by name?!"
Ye Qian became furious. Her grandfather, Ye Zheng, was the patriarch of the Ye family and the military. His status was noble; how many people in China dared to call Ye Zheng by his name so casually?
"Xiao Qian, don't waste your breath with such an ill-bred person. Let me cripple that bastard first!"
This time, before Jiang Wuming could speak, Luo Yu interrupted. He was already eager to make his move on Xing Tian.
"Alright."
Ye Qian heard this, said no more, and voluntarily retreated to the back.
At the same time, the students from Yan Jing Martial Arts Academy, the bar owner, and staff surrounded the open space, forming a circle with a diameter of about thirty meters.
"Don't hold back. As long as you don't kill him, fight however you feel is satisfying."
Jiang Wuming also stopped wasting words with Ye Qian and reminded Xing Tian.
"Okay."
Xing Tian nodded.
Jiang Wuming said no more, his figure flashed, and he retreated to the rear.
"Heh heh..."
On the other side, Luo Yu heard Jiang Wuming's instructions to Xing Tian and laughed in extreme anger. Then, his entire aura reached its peak, and he condescendingly addressed Xing Tian:
"Bastard, eight years ago, when your mother brought you to our Luo family to acknowledge kinship, she slapped you several times, and you were almost beaten to death!
Back then, you should have known that your deceased mother was a cheap whore who deliberately seduced my father and was never worthy of entering the Luo family door!
As for you, you are merely the product of my father's momentary lapse in judgment, accidentally left behind when he was with a whore!
Eight years ago, you bastard, not knowing your limits, went to the Luo family again and was injured by me, fleeing like a stray dog!
Today, I will completely beat you into a dead dog, so that from now on, whenever you hear or think of the name Luo family, you will feel fear..."
"Roar!!"
Suddenly.
A roar interrupted Luo Yu's words, echoing through the heavens.
Under the night sky.
The powerfully built young man, his eyes blood red, let out a roar.
This roar
was a yearning for his mother after years of separation, suppressed rage of many years, and an unforgettable hatred!
Swish!
With the roar, the figure moved.
Xing Tian, like a human tank, suddenly charged forward towards Luo Yu. Wherever he passed, the air exploded, and a fierce wind raged.
Under the night sky.
The robust youth, who would reveal a simple and honest smile to Jiang Wuming regardless of whether he was sad or happy, and who preferred to solve problems with his fists, fought with one hand behind his back.
Even though he was filled with extreme anger at this moment, he still remembered the young man's words.
To defeat ten with one hand!
...
