Chapter 544: Chapter 573 Together (2nd Update)
Bai Gaoran crossed his arms, his expression remained cold without uttering a single sound, while Zhu Qiqi beside him, with his hands in his pockets, hurriedly shook his head and said with a smile,
"Oh Dongfang, don’t misunderstand, just pretend we’re not even here!"
"We’re only here to watch and won’t disturb you, just continue!"
’Madman’ Zhang Haolong’s eyes lit up upon seeing the two and said, "Don’t be like that, since you’re here, how about we have a proper fight later?"
"Otherwise, when will we meet again next time!"
Bai Gaoran still didn’t speak, and Zhu Qiqi just smiled without saying anything more.
’Madman’ Zhang Haolong saw their reactions and felt unmotivated, unlike when he antagonizes Dongfang Tianshao, who gets easily riled up with just a few words.
"Two senior special forces soldiers?" Lin Xi was somewhat surprised and thought.
Just moments ago, he believed the strongest at Jiangnan University were intermediate special forces soldiers, but now realized there were senior ones too!
Truly a hidden dragon among tigers!
In chaotic regions, people with such strength are rare.
Unexpectedly, in a domestic university, there are many students with formidable capabilities.
Indeed, Huaxia being hailed by foreign mercenaries as a land of peril is not without reason.
However, this kind of strength is still insufficient for him.
"And you?" Lin Xi looked at the turned ’Madman’ Zhang Haolong and asked.
’Madman’ Zhang Haolong was startled, not immediately understanding what Lin Xi was asking.
Lin Xi had to ask again, "What reason do you have for wanting me to fight you?"
Zhang Haolong felt a bit awkward, if Lin Xi refused, he would miss a golden opportunity.
He couldn’t just initiate a fight forcefully!
He’s never done such a thing; every challenge he poses receives consent from the opponent, otherwise, he wouldn’t act.
Seeing Zhang Haolong struggling to find a reason, Dongfang Tianshao couldn’t help but smirk, a gesture noticed by Zhang Haolong.
He suddenly had an idea, pointed at Dongfang Tianshao, and said, "Don’t be fooled by our occasional quarrels, but he’s my good brother, and if my good brother is bullied by you, of course I’m going to stand up for him!"
"So, let’s have a match first!"
"Good brother?" Dongfang Tianshao mentally cursed at this, "Who’s a good brother with you? Does your mom know how shameless you are?"
Just as he was about to retort, he saw ’Madman’ Zhang Haolong already pressing towards Lin Xi, ready to initiate a fight.
"Stay right there!" Dongfang Tianshao shouted, but Zhang Haolong ignored him, continuing to advance toward Lin Xi.
Watching this unfold, Lin Xi couldn’t help but chuckle and said coldly, "Both of you come at me together, otherwise coming at me one by one is just a waste of my time!"
"I still plan to head back for a nap!"
’Madman’ Zhang Haolong paused slightly after hearing this, then continued to slowly approach Lin Xi, saying, "Big talk, I’ll measure you up and see how much strength you really have!"
"Don’t disappoint me!"
Behind him, Dongfang Tianshao stopped with a sullen expression.
They are the four young masters of Jiangnan University, and if they join hands against a freshman, it’d be embarrassing if this got out; even if defeated, he wouldn’t team up with others.
Seeing Zhang Haolong already swinging and Dongfang Tianshao stopping in his tracks, Lin Xi couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh, "Truly a waste of time!"
The two instantly clashed, ’Madman’ Zhang Haolong, once engaged, gathered his energy and spirit into a single force, with his combat strength soaring significantly.
Furthermore, once in battle, he acts maniacally, appearing terrifying and brutal to outsiders, earning the nickname ’Madman’.
But in Lin Xi’s eyes, it’s all an illusion.
He could tell that ’Madman’ Zhang Haolong’s mind was probably clearer than anyone at the moment; a single oversight might be fooled by his facade, that’s his cleverness.
If he truly fought like a madman, then there’d be no point in fighting.
After a dozen moves, Lin Xi spoke so that only the two could hear, "Not playing with you anymore, it’s over!"
In the next moment, ’Madman’ Zhang Haolong felt a force coming from Lin Xi’s fist, compelling him to retreat several steps.
Just then, as he steadied himself, a fist almost instantaneously halted inches from his face, and then felt a face-stinging wind waft across, causing slight pain, forcing him to close his eyes briefly.
Upon reopening them, the fist vanished from his face, and Lin Xi stood a meter away!
’Madman’ Zhang Haolong acknowledged the previous sequence was real, clearly indicating his defeat!
During the clash, he realized the immense power of Lin Xi’s punches; if one had landed on his face, it would’ve led to instant loss of body control, potentially even a KO with serious impact.
If it came to that, it’d be immensely embarrassing; though he hardly cared about reputation, it’s better to have one than none!
"Thanks for showing mercy, I concede defeat!" ’Madman’ Zhang Haolong didn’t mince words, a loss is a loss, "But I won’t accept defeat, I’ll challenge you again next time!"
"At that time, I’ll definitely surprise you!"
Lin Xi merely smiled without responding; to him, it’s truly like an adult bullying a child.
’Madman’ Zhang Haolong didn’t linger, he turned away, passing by Dongfang Tianshao, and muttered, "Withdraw, you’re no match for him!"
After saying this, disregarding Dongfang Tianshao’s lethal gaze, he walked beside Zhu Qiqi and Bai Gaoran, not uttering a word, seemingly pondering something.
But Zhu Qiqi, with a serious expression, asked, "What level is his skill at?"
After all, just by watching, it was hard for him to gauge accurately!
This time, even the ever-cold Bai Gaoran showed a rare change and looked at ’Madman’ Zhang Haolong.
Both knew, while their strength was superior to ’Madman’, it wasn’t by much.
’Madman’ Zhang Haolong slowly snapped out of his daze, looked at them, and replied, "I feel he didn’t use his full strength, so determining his exact skill level is challenging."
"But one thing is certain; he’s stronger than all of us!"
Zhu Qiqi for the first time pulled a hand out of his pocket, rubbing his chin, deep in thought, while Bai Gaoran furrowed his brows, seemingly contemplating something too.
Peng Bo’s side, Gu Xiaoxian and Luo Susu were still a bit worried, but Peng Bo and his group showed no concern; the so-called four young masters were only slightly better than them.
Once they break through to intermediate special forces soldiers, coupled with their fist skill, they were confident in defeating any of the four young masters directly.
Thus, the most relaxed ones were definitely Peng Bo and his group.
The densely packed students around couldn’t help but gasp; Lin Xi was unbelievably powerful, effortlessly defeating the most battle-hungry among the four.
Does this mean the others are no match for him too?
