Chapter 961: Chapter 961: I Surrender
Huang Shuyao didn’t care about the rumors, after glancing at Li Feng, she leaped straight into the ring.
The surrounding participants watched this scene with mixed feelings.
Some frowned, some took delight in it.
The rumors about Li Feng and Huang Shuyao started right after the preliminaries. Huang Shuyao herself was a stunning beauty, known across the Martial Arts world as a goddess with a unique charm, nurtured by the Xingyi Sect.
Of course, aside from being a beauty, another reason was her senior brother Hua Wushuang, who was hailed as the number one person of the younger generation.
Moreover, both learned under the same master, growing up together like childhood sweethearts.
Anyone who saw them thought they were a couple, but then Li Feng appeared.
Those interested had already dug deeply into Li Feng’s background.
Especially Li Feng’s infamous incident online where he secured a position by clinging to a woman’s leg, living off others, was deeply ingrained in people’s minds.
If it were someone else, it might not spark such gossip.
But Li Feng was different, as he lived off others to reach the peak of his life, becoming the chairman of one of Sea City’s top ten groups, even if he was just a puppet, it was enough to boast for a lifetime.
This clearly showed his skills in wooing women were extraordinary, otherwise how could he outshine so many men in Yan Country.
Li Feng’s previous fight with Hua Wushuang attracted a lot of attention, even seen by some as a rivalry for Huang Shuyao’s affection.
True or false, no one cared, but this scenario indeed made people incredibly curious.
One was a famed goddess in the Martial Arts world, another the number one of the younger generation, and then Li Feng, famous for living off others.
These three together were like a TV drama.
Now Huang Shuyao jumped out, bringing an even greater climax to this melodrama, even men who didn’t like gossip couldn’t help but watch the ring, anticipating what’s next.
A good show is coming.
No one knew if Li Feng would ruin flowers, simply take a hit, or maybe they would "fight flirtatiously."
But no matter which scenario, how would Hua Wushuang feel in this love triangle.
Some even began to secretly glance at Hua Wushuang.
"Li Feng, you said I overestimate myself, perhaps my strength is not as good as yours, but I don’t want you to condescend to me."
Huang Shuyao looked at Li Feng with a serious face.
"Show your power, don’t use me being a woman as an excuse, I want a fair and square fight."
Huang Shuyao’s face was cold as she posed into the starting stance of Xingyi Boxing.
Li Feng looked at Huang Shuyao; he could tell Huang Shuyao wasn’t some manipulative girl, she was a saint.
It’s not that she’s bad, but people like her and Li Feng come from completely different worlds.
Li Feng’s world is one of fighting to survive, intrigue, life and death; someone like Huang Shuyao wouldn’t last three seconds in Li Feng’s world.
"I surrender."
Having said that, Li Feng abruptly turned around.
He didn’t plan to fight Huang Shuyao, whoever wanted to fight would do so, as for people talking, Li Feng didn’t care.
He really didn’t want to face Huang Shuyao.
If he won, it wouldn’t please anyone.
If he lost?
No, he couldn’t lose.
And with Huang Shuyao’s stubborn temperament, if Li Feng went easy, she’d say he looked down on her; if he went hard, he’d surely be labeled as someone who bullies women, causing great scandal.
The matter might even escalate with Huang Shuyao wanting more conflict.
Huang Shuyao hadn’t expected after posing herself, Li Feng turned and declared surrender then walked off.
What was this?
Looking down on her?
"Li Feng, stop right there!"
Huang Shuyao, burning with rage, shouted at Li Feng’s back, yet Li Feng ignored her and jumped out of the ring.
Huang Shuyao unsatisfiedly chased forward, staring directly at Li Feng.
"Why won’t you fight me."
Li Feng knew it would come to this, raising an eye to look at Huang Shuyao.
"You really want to know why, okay."
"First, surrendering is my freedom; the competition rules allow it, I fought five matches before, my injury is acting up, I assessed the situation and decided not to continue, is that okay!"
"Second, I don’t want to take advantage of you, punches and kicks inevitably involve close contact which might displease someone."
"Third, I really don’t want to ruin flowers, such a pretty face turned into a pig’s head, then won’t this bunch scold me, Li Feng, as a mean person."
"Are these three reasons enough, if not I can add more for you."
"You!"
Huang Shuyao glared at Li Feng, reiterating that he really didn’t want to fight her.
Li Feng ignored Huang Shuyao, turning to the judges: "Judges, does my surrender violate the rules?"
Bai Wange and the other two exchanged glances.
"It does not violate the rules."
"Huang Shuyao wins this round."
Huang Shuyao was furious hearing the judges, stamping her feet, yet she couldn’t have Li Feng come back to fight her.
The reason Huang Shuyao stepped up wasn’t just because of the rumors, but because Li Feng’s behavior was too arrogant, trampling on the rules.
Although Li Feng’s actions made her the beneficiary, giving others a handle was inevitable, and also considering her master who was one of the committee members.
Li Feng, indifferent, turned away.
"Brother Hua, I’ve managed five, the remaining three are yours, you won’t hold back, will you."
Everyone turned to look.
This Li Feng.
He surrendered to avoid battle and it seems he’s throwing this hot potato to Hua Wushuang; Li Feng is truly cunning.
Among the three remaining opponents of the blue group, two were from the Xingyi Sect, so it would be an internal conflict for the Xingyi Sect.
Tsk.
What a beautifully executed move.
"Shameless."
Huang Shuyao, biting her teeth, crackling, Li Feng was truly the shameless one.
"This Li Feng is not to be underestimated."
Huang Jiuling squinted, surprised at Li Feng’s unexpected actions and now a reverse move as an overseer, fearing his daughter gained nothing and lost much.
"But that bastard even dared bully my daughter like this."
Hua Jiufeng glanced at Li Feng: "Shuyao is too straightforward; Li Feng, on the other hand, has a bit of wickedness."
"However, Shuyao did it for me after all, rules are rules and must be followed."
"Li Feng just tried to dig a pit for me, had I nodded, I’d be led by the nose."
Hua Wushuang watched the situation, still composed: "Junior sister, just in time, let me see if you’ve improved."
Hua Wushuang stepped into the ring, accepting Li Feng’s thrown challenge.
Li Feng smirked watching Hua Wushuang step up; he knew Hua Wushuang wouldn’t stay out of it.
As for the three matches following, the result was clear.
Between sect members, there’s no way to fight seriously, it was more of a sparring session, and the remaining one also understood this truth, going through the motions.
What was supposed to be a fierce battle in the advancement round was ruined by Li Feng, losing all tension, becoming dull.
The biggest loser was Xu Family from Jingmen, except Xu Fan, almost all of their top external experts were eliminated.
