I Can Replicate Martial Arts-Chapter 84 - 55: Fists and Feet Know No Sentiment, Each Strike Decides Life and Death

Chapter 84: Chapter 55: Fists and Feet Know No Sentiment, Each Strike Decides Life and Death

It was already starting to obstruct the flow of his True Qi.

’I can’t let this go on. Otherwise, I’ll lose for sure.’

"Stop!"

Zhang Kui took two kicks before hastily shouting and jumping away, holding up a hand to stop her assault.

"What, giving up?"

The girl opposite him was stunned for a moment, a faint smirk appearing on her face. But in that instant, Zhang Kui, who had seemed to be panicking, suddenly dropped down and executed a ground roll, ending up right by her legs.

This sudden turn of events left the girl momentarily unable to react.

However, in that split second, Zhang Kui’s right hand shot out and seized her ankle.

He then put his strength into his waist and back, flipping upside down and coiling around her long, sturdy legs like a python.

He brutally dragged her to the ground and seamlessly transitioned into grappling techniques—yanking at her joints, locking her body with his legs, and pinning her tightly underneath him.

That move, that position!

"Holy shit!"

A hush fell over the crowd for a split second, immediately followed by a deafening uproar.

"Zhang Kui is so damn cool!"

"Badass, that’s my boy Kui!"

"Zhang Kui, I gotta call it, you’re a real man."

The cheers were all coming from the Dongqi University camp.

As for the Dongyi side, to say the crowd was furious would be an understatement. If their supervising instructors hadn’t been holding them back, a mob would have already stormed the stage to beat him to a pulp.

"I’m going to kill you!"

The girl’s face was flushed crimson, a mix of endless fury and humiliation.

"Do you surrender?!"

Zhang Kui had thrown caution to the wind. He was already planning to quit the Martial Arts Team, so what was there to fear? This would be his one and only—and final—moment of glory for the team.

"I won’t!"

The girl was also incredibly stubborn. Even with her joints locked, she relied on her formidable Inner Strength to resist Zhang Kui’s twisting pressure.

For a moment, the two of them were locked in a stalemate.

The referee was now in a dilemma. It would be highly inappropriate to step in and separate them—that would be unfair to Zhang Kui. But not intervening meant letting them continue in this rather indecent entanglement.

"Do you surrender?"

Zhang Kui gritted his teeth and twisted his body with all his might, trying to use the torque to wrench her joints.

Just as they were deadlocked, the girl suddenly arched her back, using the flexibility of her waist to instantly create a sliver of space.

Then, her Inner Strength flared, and before Zhang Kui could react, she managed to wrench part of her arm free.

There was no way Zhang Kui was going to give up this hard-won opportunity; he immediately bore down, suppressing her struggle.

By now, the girl had freed most of her elbow. Seeing her chance, she unleashed her strength and brutally smashed it into Zhang Kui’s face.

Zhang Kui twisted his head aside, but after a few evasive movements, the point of her elbow still struck him hard on the cheek. Blood instantly gushed from the wound, streaming down his neck and dripping onto the arena floor.

"Do you surrender!" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Gritting his teeth against the pain, Zhang Kui roared and pressed down with every ounce of strength he had. Blood smeared across his cheeks as he bellowed, giving him a terrifyingly savage look.

"I surrender, I surrender!"

A drop of blood fell from Zhang Kui’s cheek, landing at the corner of the girl’s mouth and bringing with it a salty taste.

The girl finally broke, crying out the words of surrender.

As if having exhausted all his strength, Zhang Kui’s body went limp. He released his hold and collapsed backward onto the mat.

The girl scrambled to her feet and spun around to kick him, but seeing his miserable condition, she stopped her foot in its tracks. Glaring daggers at him, she snarled, "That was a dishonorable victory!"

At her words, Zhang Kui grinned and chuckled, "Hey, a win is a win!"

As he spoke, the gash on his face from the elbow strike stretched open, looking grotesque and frightening.

"Dongqi University wins!"

The referee’s cheek twitched. He raised his arm, signaling the end of the match.

At the same time, the coaches from the sidelines had already stepped onto the stage to help their respective team members down.

"Well done, Zhang Kui!"

Zeng Hongyi clapped Zhang Kui on the shoulder. He opened his mouth to say more, but that was all that came out.

"Are you okay, man?"

Zhao Rui looked at Zhang Kui’s blood-covered face, completely stunned. He never thought that his usually-sloppy senior brother had such a fierce side to him.

"I’m fine! It just hurts like hell!"

Zhang Kui tried to grin, but the muscles in his face immediately twitched in pain.

The medical staff quickly treated his wound, then, just like Li Xinran, escorted him from the Martial Arts Arena.

"Um, Dean Zhang, about the competition..."

Dean Sun felt a bit sheepish. Although they had come to show off their strength, he hadn’t expected it to get this out of hand—one student unconscious, another covered in blood.

If word got out, people might think our two schools were having a deathmatch!

"Injuries are unavoidable in martial arts competitions, but we should still advise the students to tone down the aggression..."

Dean Zhang said after a slight pause.

Dean Sun nodded, then called over an aide and relayed the message.
