School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert-Chapter 376 - : The Master Steps In

Chapter 376: Chapter 376: The Master Steps In

“Who the hell are you?!” Xiao Han asked coldly.

“I am the head disciple at Jingwu Hall!” the man said with a smile. “My name is Tang Zhan. Kid, today you’re going to die by my hands. If you have any last words, speak now to avoid any regrets later.”

“Didn’t expect much strength, but quite a bit of bravado,” Xiao Han said disdainfully.

“Believe it or not, I will kill you,” Tang Zhan said, clearly annoyed by the provocation.

“Kill me? You’ll need the strength to do so!” Xiao Han sneered, and then said, “Do you have that strength?”

“Take this!” Without waiting for Xiao Han to react, Tang Zhan rushed forward with a lunge and unleashed a series of kicks. The young man was truly ferocious, launching his killer moves without even a warning. The crowd gasped in surprise.

...

Xiao Han blocked several deadly moves with his palms and nimbly dodged the opponent’s attacks.

Tang Zhan was relentless and continued to pursue the attack. The two exchanged blows in the hall for dozens of moves. Tang Zhan couldn’t defeat Xiao Han for a while and began to feel anxious inside. As the head disciple of Jingwu Hall, second only to Tiemu Zha in rank and status, he had to set an example. Otherwise, how could he continue to issue commands in the future? How could others follow him? He became somewhat impatient.

Xiao Han, treating the duel as a bit of fun, exchanged a few moves with his opponent. Unexpectedly, instead of becoming more rigorous, the opponent’s attacks became increasingly sloppy. Xiao Han immediately realized that Tang Zhan was becoming desperate to win, and deliberately left an obvious opening to give him a chance.

Indeed, driven by his eagerness to win, Tang Zhan pounced on Xiao Han’s sudden opening without a second thought.

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Han’s mouth.

“That’s bad.”

“That’s bad!”

Lu Da and Liu Shangguo both saw something was wrong at the same time and exclaimed in unison.

Zhang Feng revealed a smile and said, “Xiao Han is so sly, deliberately baiting him.”

“What do you mean?” Lan Yudie asked urgently.

To Lan Yudie, the two men in the ring were just fighting continuously; she could not discern any moves, patterns, or even the strategies of both sides.

“Teacher Lan, Xiao Han is about to win,” Zhang Feng said with a laugh.

“Really?” Lan Yudie responded. “I didn’t see that coming.”

“Just watch and see,” Zhang Feng smiled cryptically.

Before Zhang Feng’s words fell.

Bang!

Suddenly, Xiao Han lured his opponent in deep and then executed a Dragon Tail Whip. In an instant, he sent Tang Zhan flying far away, and Tang Zhan only came to a stop after hitting a nearby pillar. As the head disciple of Jingwu Hall, Tang Zhan had been defeated by Xiao Han. The scene caused an uproar.

The disciples of Jingwu Hall suddenly felt they had lost face.

“Brothers, let’s go together and surround them,” someone shouted energetically with a wave of their arm.

Crowds rushed in quickly, surrounding Xiao Han and Lan Yudie so tightly they couldn’t escape.

“Oh my…” Lan Yudie was scared, never before having been surrounded by so many people.

Zhang Feng and Zhang Dagou quickly protected Lan Yudie to one side. Liu Bin hid behind Xiao Han. Xiao Han sneered, “Is this how Jingwu Hall treats its guests?”

“After injuring our people, you still have the nerve to claim the status of guests?” A disciple of Jingwu Hall disdainfully said, “Today you won’t be able to leave through this door!”

“Right, you won’t be able to leave here today!” The crowd shouted in unison.

At this moment, in the corridor on the second floor, Tiemu Zha and several disciples of Jingwu Hall were standing above.

“Coach, why don’t we just have our men besiege them to death.”

“Exactly, with so many against their few, I refuse to believe they can fight against over a hundred of us,” the disciples behind him said one after another.

“Heh heh…” Tiemu Zha shook his head and said, “Just scare them a bit, there’s no need to escalate things. I’ll go down now, otherwise, this will only damage Jingwu Hall’s reputation!”

“Yes!” The disciples nodded in agreement and followed Tiemu Zha downstairs.

Xiao Han was in no way frightened by the encirclement of hundreds of people. On the contrary, he remained as serene as a gentle breeze and clear skies. However, the disciples of Jingwu Hall also dared not advance, merely surrounding Xiao Han and others while cursing and insulting them continuously on the side.

“Stop it, all of you!” Tiemu Zha’s voice rang out.

Every person made way, clearing a straight path from the stairwell directly to Xiao Han. Xiao Han lifted his head and scanned the oncomer. Tiemu Zha, dressed in a fight outfit with bare feet on the wooden floor and a headband on his head, showed bulging muscles on his face and a ferocious look in his eyes. His hands were already gloved for fighting, and disgustingly, the gloves were studded with nails, ensuring that a punch would multiply the pain of the hit several times over.

“Tiemu Zha, you finally came out?” Xiao Han shook his head helplessly and said, “Wanting to fight with you is really not easy. I didn’t expect such a coward like you would even let your disciple go first, sigh… I’m so disappointed in you.”

“What nonsense are you spouting!” Tiemu Zha glared at Xiao Han and said, “I didn’t know anything about it just now; that was the Jingwu Hall disciples acting on their own.”

“Forget it, I won’t stoop to the level of someone like you!” Xiao Han said disdainfully, “Didn’t you challenge me to a platform duel? Well, the old man is here today.”

“Hmph!” Tiemu Zha snorted coldly and said, “Today is not as simple as a platform duel, it’s a fight to the death.”

“Whatever you say is fine by me!” Xiao Han couldn’t care less.

At that moment, Lan Yudie hurriedly held Xiao Han and said, “Xiao Han, you… you need to be cautious!”

“I know!” Xiao Han nodded.

“Can’t we just have a regular platform duel instead of a fight to the death?” Lan Yudie asked.

“Silly girl, whatever the other party wants to do, I’m game till the end,” Xiao Han said with a smile.

“You!” Lan Yudie glared at Xiao Han and said, “Then I’ll wait for you!”

“Mhm!” Xiao Han nodded.

Tiemu Zha leapt up, lightly touching the edge of the platform with one foot, flipping through the air, and jumping directly onto the platform.

“Wow, that’s amazing.”

“So cool, totally badass!”

Everyone exclaimed in amazement, all shouting and cheering. Surprise and excitement were written on every face.

Tiemu Zha’s mouth curled into a smile. Suddenly, he raised his fist high and shouted, “Kill.”

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

Suddenly, over a hundred disciples joined in the shouting, each erupting with astonishing power.

Tiemu Zha smiled even more smugly, looking down at Xiao Han as if to say, kid, this is my turf, you’re as good as dead.

Xiao Han looked at Zhang Feng and said, “Take good care of Xiao Yu, don’t let me down!”

“Don’t worry.” Zhang Feng patted his chest and said, “If they want to harm Teacher Lan, they’ll have to step over my dead body first.”

“Me too!”

“Me too!” Liu Bin and Zhang Dagou both patted their chests and assured.

“Good brothers!” Xiao Han glanced at the fellows from Dormitory 101.

Afterward, Xiao Han walked onto the platform via the stairs on the side.

Shhh…

This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.

The crowd hissed. Everyone sneered at Xiao Han. They were expecting him to make a dashing entrance, but instead, this guy actually walked up the stairs. Only novices would take the stairs; even someone with a year of kung fu training could jump up in a few steps. This kid walking up the stairs was truly clueless.

Once on the platform…

“Xiao Han, you’d better think this through,” Tiemu Zha said through clenched teeth. “Today we are fighting a battle to the death, and everyone here can bear witness. Whichever of us is killed, no blame will fall on the other. We are responsible for our own lives!”

“Fine!” Xiao Han nodded and said, “Since you care so little for your own life, I accept your proposal.”

“Brave boy!” Tiemu Zha snorted coldly and said, “You sure talk big.”

“Let’s start the fight, I didn’t come to exchange words with you,” Xiao Han said with a wry smile.

“You’re courting death!” Tiemu Zha’s face filled with rage. He quickly rushed towards Xiao Han.

Tiemu Zha was well-prepared today, having gathered ample information the night before, and he even consumed some drugs that are typically taken before a competition. These drugs have a significant effect on stimulating one’s burst power. To defeat Xiao Han, Tiemu Zha was willing to go to any lengths. These drugs are normally banned in competitions. But Tiemu Zha would still take them often, despite the side effects on his body, because what do those matter compared to winning a title?

Tiemu Zha’s muscles bulged as he charged toward Xiao Han, suddenly leaping into the air and swinging his fist viciously towards Xiao Han. The fist, as big as a casserole, was covered with a glove spiked with steel needles. If it hit the head, it could cause a severe concussion even if it didn’t kill.

Bang!

Xiao Han executed a Roundhouse Kick, directly deflecting Tiemu Zha’s fist. After landing, Tiemu Zha didn’t give up attacking; instead, he kept on Xiao Han’s heels.

The two exchanged blows on the platform, each chasing and attacking the other.

Today, Xiao Han felt that Tiemu Zha’s strength had improved, although he didn’t know why the other had managed to level up so much overnight. However, Xiao Han didn’t care. Beating Tiemu Zha was just a matter of words for him. But right now, he needed some real combat experience, so he decided to spar with Tiemu Zha for a while. After all, only through such means could he enhance his own strength.

Even though Tiemu Zha was not that strong, there is always someone stronger in the world, someone beyond one’s skills. Suppose one day he encountered a master he couldn’t contend with, wouldn’t he be doomed then? Moreover, Leopard once told him that there was a huge secret behind his father’s death. Supposedly, that person’s strength was formidable, certainly beyond what he could handle at the moment. Therefore, he must improve his strength before his adversary found him. Otherwise, once located by his foe, his death was certain.
