Chapter 71: My god! Such a ruthless man! Isn't he afraid of being struck by a powerful punch from a boxer? _1
The moment Su Yan unleashed his Overbearing, the examinees waiting below to compete immediately felt a strong wind rushing toward their faces. A question couldn't help but arise in everyone's mind: where did this gale come from on such a clear day?
Some of the stronger candidates seemed to sense something and simultaneously looked up at Su Yan on Martial Arts Platform Number 1, but they saw nothing. By that time, Su Yan had already retracted the Overbearing he had unleashed, acting as if nothing had happened.
However, not all the candidates could be fooled. Qin Yao, waiting below Martial Arts Platform Number 3 for her turn to fight, felt her beautiful eyes widen as she broke into a cold sweat, her lips trembling slightly. Her long, slender legs also started to tremble involuntarily, feeling somewhat weak.
It was terrifying! Too terrifying! The Overbearing that had just burst forth from Su Yan had truly scared her out of her wits.
After yesterday's physical test, Qin Yao had thought she had come to understand Su Yan to a certain extent, clearly knowing how formidable he was. However, it now appeared that she had still underestimated him; the strength he displayed during yesterday's test was just the tip of the iceberg.
In contrast to Qin Yao below Martial Arts Platform Number 3, Lin Xiaoxiao, who was on the same platform as Su Yan, didn't feel much. She only knew one thing: Su Yan had performed very well during yesterday's physical test. As for how strong his actual combat ability was, that remained to be seen.
If I were to clash with him head-on, as merely a Semi-Advanced Level creature, I would probably be drilled through, soul and all. And from what I know, this guy spent most of his high school time in the hospital. His Creature Level was probably boosted by Exotic Flower Fruits; his actual combat experience should be zero. So, as long as I can maneuver during the match and use my rich combat experience to close the gap in sheer strength... perhaps in the end, I could pull off an upset and showcase an over-level takedown. After all, doing well on a physical test doesn't necessarily mean one has strong capabilities. This world is full of greenhouse flowers forcibly cultivated with Exotic Flower Fruits. Such inexperienced fledglings, once they step onto the Martial Arts Platform, often end up as easy targets for over-level takedowns. Even if I can't win in the end, I could still use my combat experience to hold out longer and try to score as many points as possible.
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel increasingly confident. She looked at Su Yan with her beautiful eyes, unafraid, and said, "Su Yan, I advise you not to be too arrogant. Who wins or loses is still uncertain."
Upon hearing Lin Xiaoxiao's words, Su Yan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Fair enough, indeed. After all, you're a student from the hourly classes with exceptional combat experience. Someone like me, a fledgling, might just get overpowered by you in the next second."
With that, Su Yan feigned panic, saying, "Ah, just thinking about it makes me a little nervous."
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoxiao sneered, "Heh, quite sarcastic, aren't you?"
As soon as her voice fell, Lin Xiaoxiao attacked Su Yan. She dashed forward, instantaneously moving to Su Yan's side. Then, with lightning speed, she lifted her full, fair right leg and delivered a powerful side kick toward Su Yan's head.
Su Yan didn't move, merely glancing from the corner of his eye. He then arched an eyebrow and remarked, "Oh, quite colorful."
Immediately after, THUD! Lin Xiaoxiao's shapely foot, clad only in a long sports sock, struck squarely on Su Yan's slightly raised left palm.
"Whoa! Lift it a little higher!"
"That side kick! So long! So fair!"
"Wow! I could play with this leg for years!"
At this moment, the sight of Lin Xiaoxiao's leg raised high stirred excitement among the male examinees waiting near Su Yan to compete.
Lin Xiaoxiao knew her current pose was indeed somewhat embarrassing. But she was in the midst of an intense fight on the Martial Arts Platform, so how could she be concerned about that? If she could win, she was willing to perform even the most undignified, shameful actions.
Seeing her kick had failed, Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to retract her leg and create some distance from Su Yan.
However, would Su Yan let her have her way? He immediately reached out with his dominant hand and grabbed her smooth, delicate ankle.
At the moment of contact, Su Yan felt a silky smooth sensation—very tender, very resilient. It seemed quite comfortable.
But he, who had been a die-hard straight man for eighteen years, was unfazed by it, even feeling a bit disgusted.
Right after that, he suddenly lifted his hand! The moment Lin Xiaoxiao had been standing on one leg on the Martial Arts Platform, she was lifted entirely off the ground. Held upside down by one leg, her clothes began to slide down with gravity, exposing a bit of her snow-white skin.
This scene had all the nearby male examinees staring intently. They all mentally applauded Su Yan, feeling that this candidate was someone worth befriending.
Just as they were thinking this, Su Yan suddenly tossed Lin Xiaoxiao forcefully, slamming her onto the ground.
Immediately following that, a loud THUD echoed! Lin Xiaoxiao's delicate body smashed heavily into the ground, and she let out a pained grunt.
Such a ruthless scene! It stunned some of the nearby female candidates waiting for their turn on stage. As if empathizing, their legs trembled uncontrollably.
My god! What a merciless man! How dare he! How dare he hit a girl like that! Could it be! Is he not afraid of facing a fierce backlash?
At this moment, many emotional female candidates strongly condemned Su Yan's behavior.
Of course, there were also some rational female candidates who felt that Su Yan's actions were not inappropriate. Once on the Martial Arts Platform, as long as a candidate didn't break the competition rules, then it wasn't excessive to thrash an opponent who refused to surrender. A martial arts competition needed to be that cruel. Showing mercy would mean it lost the meaning of the competition. After all, when it truly came to defending the nation and fighting foreign enemies, the enemies on the battlefield wouldn't show any mercy either.
On the Martial Arts Platform, Lin Xiaoxiao struggled to get back up. Su Yan's previous throw had looked harsh, but in reality, he hadn't used much strength. It was merely that the amplitude of the movement was large, easily creating a dramatic visual impact.
After standing up, Lin Xiaoxiao quickly tried to create distance from Su Yan.
However, before she could take more than a few steps, an immense Overbearing suddenly bore down on her like a dark cloud obscuring the sun.
Immediately following that, another THUD sounded. Lin Xiaoxiao, who had just gotten up, was instantly suppressed, pinned to the ground and unable to move.
At this moment, Lin Xiaoxiao truly wanted to cry. She had been up for no more than three seconds, for heaven's sake, only to be suppressed to the ground again.
Damn this rotten luck! Lin Xiaoxiao despaired, the thought of surrendering surfacing in her mind. However, she was currently suppressed by Su Yan's Overbearing and couldn't open her mouth to speak.
Su Yan walked up to Lin Xiaoxiao and squatted before her, smiling innocently. Then he whispered, his voice audible only to her, "Classmate Lin, I believe one should keep one's word. You still need to call me 'Daddy.' If you do, I'll go easy on you, and you can score higher. If you don't, I'll continue to toy with you in various ways. Then you'll lose both face and points. The choice is yours; you should be able to decide. Oh, sorry, I forgot you're currently suppressed by me and can't talk."
With that, Su Yan withdrew his Overbearing from Lin Xiaoxiao, allowing her to speak.
However, Lin Xiaoxiao seized the opportunity to abruptly rise and furiously swung her elbow toward Su Yan's vital areas, intending to severely injure him with this blow.
Damn it! Su Yan's face darkened; he hadn't expected this green tea bitch to be so vicious! Targeting the vital areas! Is she trying to end my lineage? he fumed.
Su Yan was furious!
The very next moment, a terrifying and extremely powerful Overbearing erupted from him, instantly suppressing Lin Xiaoxiao, who had just begun to move, right back down. Then, grabbing her ankle with one hand, he hauled her entire body up from the ground again. Before the shocked audience, he slammed her down hard. Then he lifted her again, slammed her down, lifted her again, and slammed her down once more...
The entire sequence replicated the scene of the Hulk thrashing Loki, causing the girls below the platform to shiver in terror.
It was also fortunate that the morning's preliminary selection wasn't being nationally broadcast live. Otherwise, Su Yan would inevitably have faced a fierce backlash from influential figures on Feibo afterward.
