Chapter 118 - That’s All To The Rampant Impertinence  

The knock-out fight was to officially start in a few minutes.

Chen Xinyi and Zhang Shaofeng were both rather anxious, wondering why Yun Jian had yet to return from the washroom after such a long time. The match was starting shortly.

At the same time, a burly man stepped out from the back of the arena baring his upper body. His broad shoulders and muscly arms looked domineeringly powerful, complimenting his height of nearly two meters.

If an average person stood beside this man, it would form the classical contrast of a giant and a dwarf.

This man was one of the stars of today’s match. He was the foreigner who wagered with Xu Zetian to battle, named Shiniji.

Shiniji was from Country Y. He was also a boxer of Country Y’s national team. He was so good that he nearly qualified for international tournaments.

Yes, nearly.

Despite that, a person like Shiniji was already making news in Longmen City. Hence, the spectators gasped when he made his appearance.

All of them knew that the one representing Country Z, and going up against Shiniji today was a woman, a very young one too. They looked at Shiniji’s build. – Was there still hope of victory for their country?

Unless, the woman was much bulkier than Shiniji?!

The spectators, including Zhang Shaofeng, Gu Hao, and their friends, shared the same thought.

"Why is master taking so long in the washroom? This interesting match is going to start! Xinyi, why don’t you look for her in the washroom?" Zhang Shaofeng turned to Chen Xinyi looking a little on edge.

In spite of it, he was greeted with Chen Xinyi’s exaggerated expression of bafflement as her eyes stared straight at the ring.

The crowd went quiet in a split second.

It was like all sound was cut off mid-way. The whole arena was pin-drop silent.

When Zhang Shaofeng followed Chen Xinyi’s gaze to look toward the ring with a skeptical frown, it was like he had seen a ghost. His eyes bulged abruptly and his jaw dropped, forming an ’O’ shape with his mouth.

Gu Hao, his friends, and the rest of the spectators could be described with just one expression – shocked!

Following everyone’s gaze, Yun Jian with her long, l.u.s.trous black hair walked out with a light frisk from the back of the arena. She maintained a small upwards curl on her lips all the while.

After the dead silence, the arena’s atmosphere reached its climax.

"Oh my god! It’s a little girl! The one fighting the foreigner is just a young child?!"

"Holy smokes, are my eyes deceiving me! A mafia boss is allowing a young little lady to fight the foreigner! Is he not scared of losing the wager?"

"Look, look at the height difference between the two of them. Do we still have the chance to win this battle?"

...

When the silent calm before the storm had passed, the chatter broke out deafeningly throughout the arena like a raging storm.

Zhang Shaofeng shot up from his seat in shock, pointing at the girl who wore a small smile while standing on the elevated ring, he took a deep swallow. His voice was half alarmed yet also delighted. "It’s master... It’s master! Could she be that woman Gu Hao rumoured to be fighting the foreigner tonight??"

action There were mixed emotions running within Zhang Shaofeng. He was worried for Yun Jian, yet he was immensely proud to be Yun Jian’s pupil.

In comparison, Gu Hao and friends looked like they had been constipated for days.

He had boasted so much in front of everyone just before, now looking back he was acting like a monkey in front of the real deal?

On the ring, Shiniji reeled in his similar shock and side-eyed Yun Jian in disdain as he watched her walk into the ring. Speaking Mandarin that was far from fluent, he taunted Yun Jian in front of everyone. "Does Country Z have nobody else? You’re letting a punk fight me? What can a stick figure of a girl do in the ring? Xu Zetian must be kidding me!"

His insolent and impudent tone resounded in the arena.

The spectators were quick to be filled with rage as they glared at Shiniji.

Any local would find it hard to tolerate a foreigner’s sneer.

Facing Shiniji’s rampant arrogance, Yun Jian stayed composed. Under everyone’s heated gaze, she countered him with a slight scoff, "You’ll know if I can fight after trying. I see that’s all to Country Y’s impertinence!"
