Xin Yi admired Lu Hanmeng's honesty. Telling someone their weaknesses was meant to help them leverage their strengths against the enemy's weaknesses, but instead, she reported it back. Sigh, it seemed this tactic was wasted.
Long Five was startled by Lu Hanmeng's question and couldn't help but secretly admire the office worker he had just looked down upon. Without even making a move, she had already seen through his Kung Fu style. This person was definitely not simple; no wonder even the Hall Master treated her with respect. It seemed he needed to be cautious.
Seeing Long Five's conflicted expression without a response, Lu Hanmeng laughed and said, "Haha... Looks like he was right! Your weakness is your lower body! You better be careful!"
Upon hearing this, Long Five instinctively crouched down slightly, wrapping his thin arms tightly around his waist. He couldn't help but curse Lu Hanmeng for being foolish: this girl was really cute. Since she knew his weakness, why not just attack directly? Now that she had revealed it, he would naturally be on guard. Did she think she could succeed? How silly!
Lu Hanmeng slowly walked over, her eyes fixed intently on Long Five's legs as if searching for some flaw to exploit. The intensity of her gaze made Long Five uneasy. Although he didn't believe Lu Hanmeng could actually find an opportunity from his lower body, the fact remained that it was indeed his weakness. Thus, he focused all his attention on protecting that area, fearing that Lu Hanmeng might actually launch an attack.
"Can we start?" Lu Hanmeng asked while still staring at Long Five's legs.
"Go ahead! Since you're a girl, I'll let you have three moves first!" Long Five replied confidently. People of high caliber often did this—letting women or juniors take a few moves first. He was ready to play the role of a chivalrous hero.
Without saying another word, Lu Hanmeng began to circle around Long Five, occasionally feinting with her beautiful legs as if to attack his lower body. However, she never truly struck; each feint was quickly retracted. Her constant fakes made Long Five quite anxious. If you want to hit me, then just do it! Why keep circling around and teasing with your legs? Can't you see I'm nervous?
But having already boasted about letting her have three moves, and with her not having attacked yet, he felt embarrassed to make the first move himself. Thus, he could only stay focused and follow her in circles.
"Are you going to attack or not?" After spinning around for more than ten circles, Long Five finally couldn't hold back any longer. If this continued, he would get dizzy—what kind of fight was this?
"Didn't your master tell you? Impatience is a major taboo for martial artists. I can't believe you're still so restless at your age. I'm looking for flaws in your lower body and haven't found any yet; why are you so anxious?" Lu Hanmeng replied calmly.
Hearing this made Long Five want to go crazy. So now it was his fault that she hadn't found any flaws? If it took her a year to find one, did that mean he had to circle around with her for a year?
"How much longer do you need to find it?" Long Five asked.
"How would I know? Why don't you give me a hint?" Lu Hanmeng suggested.
Uh... Stars flashed before Long Five's eyes. What kind of person had he encountered? She wanted him to give hints about his weaknesses while fighting? He might as well just let her beat him up without resisting at all. Honestly, Long Five felt that impulse rising within him.
"Forget it; I don't want to fight anymore," Long Five said, unable to endure this game of circling around with a little girl any longer.
"How can that be? If we agreed to fight, we must fight! You can't just go back on your word like that! ... Hahaha, I've finally found your flaw! Your right leg!" Lu Hanmeng suddenly exclaimed.
At this moment, Long Five had already mentally given up on the idea of fighting Lu Hanmeng. However, upon hearing her shout about a flaw in his right leg, Long Five was startled and quickly shifted his weight to the left, preparing to defend against Lu Hanmeng's attack on his right leg.
Suddenly, Lu Hanmeng's left leg moved and kicked diagonally towards Long Five's right calf...
Tch! She thinks she can attack my lower body with that kind of kick? Long Five thought disdainfully. He immediately reached out with his hands, fingers curled like claws, aiming for Lu Hanmeng's beautiful leg. Long Five's specialty was claw techniques; if he managed to grab her leg, she would definitely suffer.
Just then, a sharp wind whooshed past his ear, followed by a searing pain in his left cheek. A loud ringing filled his left ear, and everything went dark as he collapsed onto the floor...
"You... you cheated..." Long Five struggled to lift his head and pointed at Lu Hanmeng. It turned out that all of Lu Hanmeng's previous words, actions, and expressions were part of a ruse. Her goal was to draw all of Long Five's attention to his lower body, making him firmly believe she would attack there. Finally, when Long Five's guard was at its lowest, she feigned an attack on his right leg while delivering a real strike to his head—a beautiful jump kick that knocked him down.
"Cheat? Me?" Lu Hanmeng said, pointing at her own nose in confusion. "Did I cheat? No way! I told you I would attack your lower body; you're already such a big person—don't be so stubborn! If you lack skill, just admit it. Why do you have to say I cheated?"
"You said you would attack my lower body," Long Five said, covering his left cheek and spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood before continuing pitifully, "So why did you kick my head?"
"I never said I would attack your lower body! Oh wait, I remember now—but that wasn't me who said it; it was him," Lu Hanmeng said nonchalantly while pointing at Xin Yi. "See? Even the advice he gave me about your weakness I shared with you. I'm being so straightforward with you, yet you say I'm cheating—what a case of a dog biting Lü Dongbin without recognizing a good person!"
Damn! Long Five cried internally. It was precisely because of what you said that I fell for it! You're a bad person! Boohoo...
Xin Yi laughed. It seemed this girl wasn't as careless as she appeared; she actually used strategy this time. She had even tricked herself. Long Five was right; she really was a bad person for deceiving even me. Hehe... This girl is teachable!
Seeing his capable subordinate defeated by Lu Hanmeng's cunning tactics, Li Gang surprisingly laughed and said to Long Five, "No matter what method they used, the fact is you've lost. Luckily this is just a competition; if they were truly enemies, you'd be dead by now. So remember, never make excuses for your failures—think about your shortcomings."
Long Five nodded in agreement. He knew that although his superior usually appeared amiable and gentlemanly, he was actually ruthless behind the scenes—a true scorpion. He dared not go against his wishes.
Li Gang then turned to Xin Yi and said, "Alright, one of my subordinates has already been defeated by you; who do you plan to face next?"
This time Lu Hanmeng did not volunteer herself again. She had purely relied on surprise against Long Five; in terms of strength, she was not even in the same league as him. Of course, the same trick could not be used twice in the same situation. Xin Yi also wouldn’t let Lu Hanmeng take another turn; having already angered one opponent, letting her face Leopard Three might lead to serious trouble for her.
"Li Gang didn't just say that this round was only for practice? Winning or losing doesn't count, and since the rules have already been established, we definitely won't break them. Let's have both of them go at it together," Xin Yi said.
"What? Together?" Li Gang smiled slightly and replied, "Brother Xin might not know the strength of my two subordinates, right? So far, no one has ever had them both go at it together. There was a national martial arts champion who caused trouble in my place last year, and it was all handled by Leopard Three alone. Therefore, I think it's better to let them take turns or you can choose one to fight, and if you win against him, then you win."
"That's fine; it saves time. Everyone is busy, and the sooner we finish, the sooner we can all get back to our own things. What do you think, Li Gang?" Xin Yi replied calmly.
Leopard Three and Long Five turned green with anger upon hearing Xin Yi's words. How could there be such an arrogant person in the world? Either of them could easily handle three or five special forces soldiers, yet this young man looked down on both of them so much. It was simply outrageous! They were determined to make him suffer today! So they spoke in unison to Li Gang: " Hall Master, since this brother is so confident, he must have a sure win strategy. Please allow us to go at it together; that way, we won't lose too embarrassingly."
Li Gang certainly understood what his two subordinates were thinking; they wanted to brutally humiliate this young man. However, Li Gang felt reluctant. Such a handsome young man would be ruined if these two beasts beat him up! No, that wouldn't do; he would feel heartbroken.
Even if this young man knew a bit of Kung Fu, he would definitely not be a match for his two subordinates. The incident with the National Martial Arts Champion was indeed true; however, what he didn't know was that the so-called National Martial Arts Champion couldn't even handle a slightly fierce street thug. Their competitions were more about flashy moves and aesthetics rather than real street fighting skills. After all the showboating on stage, nothing significant happened. But street thugs were different; they often fought to the death, and just a few blows could lead to fatalities. Therefore, defeating a National Martial Arts Champion wasn't really a big deal. But Li Gang didn't understand this; he thought being able to defeat a National Martial Arts Champion was an incredible achievement, which is why he worried that his two subordinates would ruin such a handsome young man.
"How about this," Li Gang pondered before responding: "You two can go at it together, but you absolutely cannot injure Brother Xin! Even if you must injure him, you cannot touch his face!"
"Why?" Leopard Three, Long Five, Xin Yi, and Lu Hanmeng asked in unison.
"This..." Li Gang regretted his impulsiveness; why couldn't he control his overwhelming affection? Damn it! He needed to come up with a reason quickly! "Uh... it's like this: I want to ask Brother Xin to be the image ambassador for our Kanglong Hall..."
