As soon as she walked in, she immediately attracted the attention of most of the boys, and even many of the girls couldn't help but cast envious and jealous glances at her.
Chen Xiao looked at the girl who walked in, opened his mouth, but finally swallowed the word "phoenix" back.
Since others don't acknowledge that they are phoenixes, you shouldn't claim to be one either.
"Is it you?" The girl walked up to the crowd, her gaze sweeping over Chen Xiao without lingering, as if she didn't recognize him. But finally, her eyes landed on Ma Dashao: "It's you, right? You're the best fighter in the entire Kidd Academy?"
Young Master Ma has a pretty good appearance; his tight vest reveals his strong and muscular physique, making him look like he's a good fighter.
Such a stunningly beautiful woman staring at him left Young Master Ma momentarily stunned. The intensity of her gaze up close was truly astonishing. Under her gaze, Young Master Ma's mind went blank, and he subconsciously nodded: "Uh, not bad! I'm the president of the martial arts club..."
The moment he opened his mouth, disdainful hisses erupted from those around him. The girls from the karate club were furious! "We don't want to stoop to your level, and you've really gone too far!!"
"Very good." The girl who looked like a phoenix smiled. Her smile was like a blooming flower, and it almost made Young Master Ma's eyes pop out! But when Chen Xiao looked at this smile, he couldn't help but have a bad feeling.
really……
“…Very good.” The girl’s smile seemed quite satisfied. “I just went to the Taekwondo club, the Judo club, and the kickboxing club…Unfortunately, everyone there is a complete idiot. Not one of them has any real skills. Not a single one of them could withstand two of my punches. But since you admit that you are the strongest, then…I hope you won’t disappoint me.”
After saying that, the girl bent down and placed the white Apple laptop she was holding on the mat. She also bent down and took off her pair of flat running shoes. Then she turned around and gave Young Master Ma a standard martial arts salute.
"Xiao Qing, the ninth-generation disciple of the Southern Sect's Xiao Clan." When she raised her head, her once captivatingly bright eyes had sharpened: "Please enlighten me!"
After speaking, she took a half step back, her feet planted awkwardly, and her hands slightly apart, making a gesture of feigned embrace and close, which was a standard starting stance!
Chapter Thirty-One [Xiao Qing]
The scene suddenly changed so dramatically that the students watching all looked on in surprise—such a delicate and beautiful girl, actually trying to challenge others to a fight?
Young Master Ma seemed to have lost his mind, staring blankly at the girl in front of him who called herself Xiao Qing. He opened his mouth, seemingly still in disbelief: "Uh, you, you really want to compete with me?"
Is it a joke? Everyone around couldn't help but think so.
But Chen Xiao felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the stance Xiao Qing was taking!
He had, after all, practiced seriously. Although he didn't practice traditional Chinese martial arts, all combat techniques share commonalities. Besides, both Taekwondo and Karate are actually branches of Chinese martial arts. Chen Xiao, after all, had some skill; he could tell at a glance that this girl named Xiao Qing was definitely not just all show and no substance!
She seemed to be casually making a starting stance, but immediately a profound aura was revealed! Her movements were smooth and unassuming, yet she possessed an air of unfathomable depth!
To be able to strike such a graceful starting stance requires years of practice—at least Chen Xiao himself knew he absolutely didn't have that skill.
As for Young Master Ma... he's just a guy who uses a martial arts club as a front. He's never actually learned any real martial arts, so how could he possibly know his skill level? He just instinctively felt that this girl's stance looked amazing—the more he looked, the more beautiful she became.
"You... beautiful lady, you really want to fight me? You're not joking, are you?" Young Master Ma hesitated. He'd never even seen such a beautiful girl before! Such a beauty should be held in his arms and cherished, not punched and kicked! He racked his brains for a good plan that would save face for himself while leaving a good impression on the beauty...
Xiao Qing was not impatient; he simply looked at Young Master Ma with a calm and unhurried gaze.
"Well, how about this, beautiful lady? If you're interested in martial arts, you can join our martial arts club! For a girl as passionate about martial arts as you, I can waive the membership fee." Young Master Ma revealed a drooling smile.
“If you beat me, I’ll join the guild and learn kung fu from you,” Xiao Qing replied softly.
"Great!" Young Master Ma almost shouted excitedly!
What kind of kung fu could such a delicate girl have? If I could really seduce such a beauty and bring her under my command, I could "teach" her kung fu, which would inevitably involve physical contact, and then I could get handsy with her... Wouldn't that be wonderful?
"Alright! But don't cry if it hurts later." Young Master Ma said with concern, deliberately stretching his body a few times, and even smiled magnanimously: "Don't worry, I'm always soft-hearted when it comes to girls, I'll go easy on you later."
After saying that, he took two steps back, did a few warm-up exercises, then assumed a boxing stance and even jumped a couple of times.
Onlookers glanced at it and compared it to Xiao Qing's initial stance...
Even the girls who didn't know kung fu could tell that what Young Master Ma was doing wasn't martial arts at all!
His stance was left-front-right-back, his feet swaying and jumping slightly, his knees slightly bent... This was hardly martial arts; it was clearly a Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) routine.
"I'm here, be careful." Young Master Ma smiled smugly, looking at the girl in front of him, who was so delicate that she seemed like she could be blown away by a gust of wind. Where was his vigilance?
After saying that, he clenched his left fist and softly struck... It was more like a "touch" than a strike.
Upon seeing the other party's movements, Xiao Qing frowned, but suddenly lowered his initial stance, a clear hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
Just as Young Master Ma's fist reached him, Xiao Qing's right hand swiftly and lightning-fast grabbed his wrist, and then...
A gasp of surprise.
No one saw Xiao Qing's movements clearly, but everyone saw one thing: amidst screams, Young Master Ma was sent flying, "BIU," passing over Xiao Qing's head before crashing to the ground in a sorry state. Fortunately, there was a mat on the ground, and Young Master Ma landed sideways, completely disoriented, and didn't make another sound. His eyes closed, and he passed out from the impact.
Everyone: "………………"
(Author's note: Why use "Biu"? Because I like Stephen Chow, is that wrong? Hehe~)
A grown man weighing over 100 pounds was just thrown out like that, and the one who did it was a schoolgirl who looked like she could be blown away by a gust of wind. Xiao Qing didn't look like a strongman capable of throwing a person like that at all! A girl of her build probably couldn't even lift a bag of rice, let alone a grown man!
Only Chen Xiao looked at Xiao Qing with little surprise in his eyes; instead, his gaze was filled with a strangeness.
It's not that Chen Xiao's kung fu was particularly good, that he could see through Xiao Qing's true nature, it's just that...
Phoenix! That Phoenix is a superhuman! And if someone is a superhuman, throwing a living person or two is nothing, even flipping a car wouldn't be difficult! But Xiao Qing vehemently denies that she is Phoenix, yet she still displays such power.
What exactly is her relationship with that phoenix? Are they even the same person?
"Sigh, so he's just a good-for-nothing." Xiao Qing frowned, looking disappointed. She looked at Young Master Ma lying sprawled on the ground, slowly walked over, raised her leg, and seemingly casually gave Young Master Ma a light kick in the lower back.
Suddenly, Young Master Ma opened his eyes, cried out in pain, and began to cough violently. Xiao Qing had already walked to the sidelines, put on his shoes, picked up his laptop and hugged it to his chest again. Looking at the crowd behind him, he gave a slight bow: "I'm sorry to have disturbed you all."
After saying that, he walked slowly towards the door as if nothing had happened. As he walked, he seemed to be muttering to himself with a hint of helplessness, "Strange, why is there not a single person with real skills at Kidd Academy... Could it be that kid surnamed Xu was lying to me?"
A young man surnamed Xu?
