The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 284: National Arts! Garbage?

When Ye Chenfeng, Zou Linlin, and a large contingent of male and female university students arrived at the martial arts club of Tianhai Medical University, the place was already packed with students who came to join the excitement.

Although Tianhai Medical University is a specialized medical institution, it still has various student clubs such as the guitar club, a drama club, etc., to enrich the students’ extracurricular life. Given that medical students deal with formalin, corpses, specimens, and dry medical concepts all day, they would probably go insane in their four years of university if they didn’t have a rich life outside of class.

The martial arts club at Tianhai Medical University was one of the larger clubs. It was said that its president, Ma Tao, was a person who had a very thorough understanding of martial arts and possessed significant strength. Of course, this was only in comparison to ordinary people and couldn’t be compared with someone exceptionally skilled like comrade Ye Chenfeng.

The space inside the martial arts club was very spacious, with a structure similar to a fighting ring set up in the center, where club members usually sparred and competed.

At this moment, an Island Nation man and a Huaxia Country man stood on the ring, facing each other.

This man from the Island Nation was a student on an exchange visit to Tianhai Medical University, dressed in typical karate attire and looking robust and vigorous. His name was Yamamoto Kiyohisa. Of course, there were several other Island Nation men dressed in the same attire standing off the ring, with a particularly noticeable Islander man around sixty years old who kept his eyes slightly closed.

The Huaxia man standing opposite Yamamoto Kiyohisa was none other than the president of the martial arts club, Ma Tao, a junior at Tianhai Medical University. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a somewhat rugged appearance, but his face was set with a solid air of confidence.

Ye Chenfeng, Zou Linlin, and the others listened to the surrounding college students discussing the details and learned more about the Islanders who came for the martial arts exchange. It was said that this group of Islanders had already visited many universities in Tianhai, sweeping through the martial arts clubs, and Tianhai Medical University was their last stop in Tianhai before they moved on to other cities in Huaxia Country to continue their so-called martial arts exchange.

Standing on the ring, Yamamoto Kiyohisa spoke in fairly fluent Huaxia, "The martial arts of Huaxia Country are really not much. The really strong martial arts are our Island Nation’s karate. If you admit defeat now, you can avoid the pain."

"All martial arts of Huaxia Country are trash, all are trash," Yamamoto Kiyohisa taunted recklessly.

Yamamoto Kiyohisa’s words thoroughly enraged the students of Tianhai Medical University who were present. They had only come to spectate, but upon hearing these words, a fierce anger ignited within them. They all had Huaxia blood flowing in their veins; how could they allow an Islander to insult the martial arts of Huaxia Country?

The president of the martial arts club, Ma Tao, furrowed his thick eyebrows and clenched his fists tightly, yelling, "The competition hasn’t even started! Why would I have any reason to admit defeat? However, I’ve always believed that Huaxia’s martial arts are the strongest." ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"Huaxia people just know how to talk. Soon you will know the strength of our karate," Yamamoto Kiyohisa said disdainfully.

"This Island Nation bastard, I think he ate shit for breakfast, spewing filth like that? Is that tiny Island Nation something grand?"

"Exactly! Exactly! Our Huaxia’s martial arts are the broad and profound ones! To hell with his damn karate!"

...

The male university students below the stage cursed, wishing they could rush up and land a few fierce kicks on the Islander Yamamoto Kiyohisa’s face.

As the sparring between Yamamoto Kiyohisa and Ma Tao commenced, the atmosphere in the martial arts club became tense. Yamamoto Kiyohisa’s insults had really been too much for any Huaxia person to tolerate his arrogance.

Yamamoto Kiyohisa was the first to move, throwing a straight punch at Ma Tao’s face. Ma Tao did not dodge or avoid it, using his arm to block Yamamoto Kiyohisa’s straight punch. With a "bang", Ma Tao stepped back two steps, his arm feeling numb.

Yamamoto Kiyohisa’s punch was not actually fast, and Ma Tao could have easily dodged it, but he chose not to in order to test Yamamoto Kiyohisa’s strength. It seemed that Yamamoto Kiyohisa did indeed have some reason to be arrogant.

The form of martial arts that Ma Tao usually practiced was of a more forceful kind. After roughly gauging Yamamoto Kiyohisa’s strength, he immediately launched an offensive. His punches and kicks came in a rapid succession, each move sharp and fierce, with both speed and power precise. If an ordinary person were to take a hit from Ma Tao, they’d be in a lot of pain, likely knocked to the ground and unable to get up.

Facing Ma Tao’s fast and direct attacks, Yamamoto Kiyohisa kept dodging. He could feel the power contained in Ma Tao’s punches and kicks, and realized that going head-to-head was not a wise choice.

Yamamoto Kiyohisa seized an opportunity to use a step from karate, sidestepping and moving behind Ma Tao as he dodged the attacks.

Ma Tao, due to his excessively fierce attacking, couldn’t turn around in time and only felt a pain in his neck. Taking advantage of the moment, Yamamoto Kiyohisa had given Ma Tao a knife-hand strike from behind.

Ma Tao had a strong ability to take hits. If it were an ordinary person, they might have passed out from such a knife-hand strike from Yamamoto Kiyohisa, but he forcibly endured the pain in his neck, turned around, and thought about counterattacking. He absolutely didn’t want to lose, nor could he afford to lose this friendly match today.

However, when Ma Tao turned around, he found no one there. A strong gust of wind poured down from above, and as he looked up slightly, he saw that Yamamoto Kiyohisa had already leapt into the air, bringing down a fierce axe kick toward his right shoulder.

With a "bang," Yamamoto Kiyohisa’s axe kick forced Ma Tao down on one knee, clearly showing the kick’s tremendous force.

"Huaxia Country is known as the land of propriety—I’ve really seen it today. Even if you want to concede, there’s no need to kneel before me, right?" Yamamoto Kiyohisa taunted brazenly.

Below the ring, the students from Tianhai Medical University clenched their fists as they saw Ma Tao kneeling on one knee, their hearts instantly filled with tension, especially after hearing Yamamoto Kiyohisa’s words.

"Chenfeng, this Islander is really too bullying. Do they think there’s no one in Huaxia Country? When you go up later, give him a good lesson! Let him know that Huaxia Country is not a place where they can shout and scream at will." Zou Linlin couldn’t stand Yamamoto Kiyohisa’s attitude either.

Ye Chenfeng’s eyes were fixed on every move in the ring. In fact, in terms of strength, Ma Tao shouldn’t be weaker than Yamamoto Kiyohisa. It’s just that Ma Tao’s moves were too rigid, and he often just charged forward blindly, which is a big mistake in a martial arts duel.

"Linlin, let’s keep watching patiently a bit more. I think the president of your university’s martial arts club won’t admit defeat so easily." From Ma Tao’s rigid moves, Ye Chenfeng could tell that he was someone who didn’t give up easily. It’s often possible to discern a martial artist’s character from their moves.

On the ring, Yamamoto Kiyohisa’s right leg was pressing hard on Ma Tao’s right shoulder, and Ma Tao felt a tearing pain. His thick eyebrows were almost twisted together. He clenched his teeth tightly, holding back the power inside his body, and forcefully pushed off Yamamoto Kiyohisa’s right leg. Enduring the pain, he stood up from the ring once again.

"You can still stand up? Not bad! However, you should have chosen to stay down. At least that way, you would suffer less pain. Since you’ve chosen to stand up, then next, I’ll make you really taste the prowess of karate," Yamamoto Kiyohisa said in a mocking tone.

"Ma Tao, hang in there, Ma Tao, hang in there, Ma Tao, hang in there..." Students from Tianhai Medical University began to cheer for Ma Tao one after another. They did not want to see Ma Tao lose to that arrogant Islander.

Encouraged by the cheering from below the ring, Ma Tao’s spirit rose to a new level, and his rugged face revealed a trace of determination: "Today, I, Ma Tao, will definitely not lose to you."

"Talking big won’t hurt your tongue, huh? I’ve always said Huaxia people are all talk, Huaxia martial arts are rubbish, just rubbish," shouted Yamamoto Kiyohisa unrestrainedly. (To be continued.
