Chapter 810 - 815: Falling Behind (Double-Length) (2)
Chapter 810: Chapter 815: Falling Behind (Double-Length) (2)
Otherwise, Gu Chen would have been thoroughly defeated by now.
In the current evenly matched situation, the two are fighting quite desperately, using every possible part of their body—fists, feet, elbows, knees—to attack each other.
This is because at first the short guy couldn’t let go and was somewhat restrained in his fighting style, but Gu Chen didn’t care and used every possible means for attack.
The short guy understood this too and started learning from Gu Chen, otherwise, he’d lose badly over time.
Losing to this kid who is actually weaker than himself!
He was feeling quite frustrated now!
If he had a little more combat experience, if he had maintained a completely victorious state, such a stalemate wouldn’t have occurred.
But now it’s too late for regrets, he can only give it his all.
However, there’s one thing he can’t figure out—usually, he has information on any notable figure in Chuzhou City!
Yet he has no information about the person in front of him!
Who is this guy?
How can he be so powerful at such a young age?
If he were from a noble family or some kind of household, he wouldn’t be surprised!
But the key is, he has no memory of this person at all.
This means the person either comes from elsewhere or is a kid from an ordinary family in Chuzhou City.
From elsewhere?
Looking at the group from No. 2 Middle School and the two people behind him, it’s unlikely!
Then, a kid from an ordinary family in Chuzhou City?
As he was thinking this, he exposed a small flaw by accident, which Gu Chen, whose moves were getting increasingly fierce, seized upon.
With a "boom" punch, his left hand was pressed against his chest as Gu Chen landed a punch.
Immediately, he staggered back, feeling a bit uncomfortable in his chest.
But fortunately, his reaction was fairly quick—had his left hand not blocked somewhat, the injury would have been serious enough to guarantee his defeat.
Unable to resist, he shook his hand; aside from some numbness, it became quite difficult to exert force.
Meanwhile, as he retreated, Gu Chen didn’t waste the opportunity and directly pursued, planning to strike while the enemy was vulnerable.
The situation on the field was crystal clear to everyone present.
Lying on the ground, Duan Hu and others suddenly felt their pain lessen significantly, and someone began to sneer,
"Wasn’t someone cocky just now? How come they’re not so cocky now?"
"Exactly, if you’ve got the guts, try being cocky now?"
"Calling us trash, hilarious, looks like you guys are the trash!"
"A bunch of gutless guys!"
"..."
Everyone from No. 3 Middle School looked quite embarrassed, and aside from embarrassment, they were more worried about the short guy losing.
If that happens, it would definitely be utterly embarrassing!
"What do we do, boss?" someone quietly asked Zuo Dahai and Fu Hui.
Zuo Dahai and Fu Hui exchanged glances, seeing a hint of concern in each other’s eyes.
"Looks like even if Gu Chen wins, he probably won’t have much energy left!" Zuo Dahai said quietly.
Fu Hui said nothing, but everyone understood what his expression meant.
If Gu Chen wins, given their strength, the group could win even if he’s low on energy?
About this point, they’re not too confident.
After all, the short guy on their side just now took down eighteen people from No. 2 Middle School all by himself, knowing that No. 2 Middle School’s eighteen people are significantly stronger than their seventeen.
But even so, after the short guy won, though he appeared a bit scattered, he seemed just as strong as before!
So even if Gu Chen isn’t very energetic, he’d still be able to handle them?
Thinking this, they couldn’t help but feel conflicted.
Does this mean they should rush forward and team up with the short guy to deal with Gu Chen?
About ten seconds later, as they hesitated, the short guy was punched in the hand, instantly reducing his fighting effectiveness considerably.
Originally disadvantaged, now even more so.
Seeing this, Zuo Dahai gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Everyone follow me and let’s take down that boastful kid!"
In the next moment, in the eyes of the people lying on the ground from No. 2 Middle School and Lin Xi and Gu Xiaoxian watching, seventeen people from No. 3 Middle School charged at Gu Chen.
Gu Chen immediately noticed this group from No. 3, a trace of cold sweat appearing on his face!
Dealing with the guy in front of him, he’s almost exerted one hundred percent of his strength.
Now another group arrives, and he feels his predicament is turning tragic.
Initially, he hadn’t expected the group from No. 3 to be this strong!
He thought with his strength at his age, he should count as a genius-level fighter.
But seeing the equally young short guy possessing significantly greater strength, he instantly realized that there are always greater mountains beyond and always greater people.
"What do we do, Lin Xi?" Gu Xiaoxian, not stammering at this moment, looked anxiously at Lin Xi.
But Lin Xi remained unmoved, showing no intention of intervening.
Instead, watching as Zuo Dahai’s group charged forward, Gu Chen, who initially held the upper hand, suddenly found himself gradually on the defensive and within ten seconds was already subdued.
It looked like it wouldn’t take even a few minutes for him to be completely defeated.
Like the people from No. 2 Middle School nearby, who lay on the ground being terribly battered.
With a "bang!", Gu Chen took a punch from one of No. 3 Middle School’s group and stepped back a few steps.
But he seemed uninjured, as if the punch had no effect on him.
This doesn’t mean the punch lacked power or was a fake, but given the current situation, such fakery wouldn’t occur.
To Gu Chen, the typical punch barely fazes him even if he stands still and lets them land a few punches.
To Lin Xi, the most threatening figure on the scene is still that short guy.
But whether he’s scared or something else, since Zuo Dahai’s group started attacking, he hasn’t reacted enthusiastically and instead seems to be adjusting something.
Although the short guy hasn’t done much now, Lin Xi knows when he strikes it’ll be earth-shattering.
So most of his attention remained on the short guy.
Gu Xiaoxian became even more anxious, tugging Lin Xi’s clothes, questioning, "Lin Lin Lin...Lin Xi, won’t you help my brother?"
"He seems close to being overwhelmed!"
"These people are so unreasonable, what happened to the one-on-one, why did it become a many-on-one fight?"
Lin Xi slightly tilted his head down to look at Gu Xiaoxian, who stood only at shoulder height, reassuringly saying, "Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on it. Gu Chen will be fine, I can guarantee that!"
"Besides, I think Gu Chen needs some refining and pressure."
"In the future, he’ll definitely be much stronger than now!"
Hearing these words, Gu Xiaoxian pouted but didn’t say anything, as if she tacitly agreed with Lin Xi’s viewpoint.
In her mind, as long as her brother focuses on studying and gets into a good university, then finding a job after graduation won’t be difficult.
But being able to fight, what’s the point?
Is he going to be a security guard?
So fighting ability, to her, doesn’t hold the same importance as good academic performance.
However, she still trusts Lin Xi in this situation and finds herself unable to help her brother.
Seeing Gu Chen getting constantly pressured, the group from No. 2 Middle School lying on the ground wished they could hurry up and join the fight to help Gu Chen.
Otherwise, Gu Chen would lose!
So they lamented deeply about not calling on Gu Chen during the initial challenge.
If they’d done that, they might not be in such a miserable state today!
"What do we do? What do we do? What do we do?" all the people lying from No. 2 Middle School were just filled with this one thought.
The more they saw Gu Chen fall into a disadvantage, the more anxious they became.
