Though Bai Zhenzhen suggested spitting, Zhang Yu felt it would be demeaning to his status as an outsourced member of the Patrol Team. He opted to use his own blood instead.

As expected, Le Mulan seemed disgusted by the blood of this ‘pauper,’ even preferring to evade it directly rather than touch it with her sword qi.

Meanwhile, Le Mulan watched Zhang Yu charge towards her, scoffing. She flicked her sword fingers, intending to use sword qi to block him. However, she discovered Zhang Yu’s speed was astonishing.

This was because the gravity suit on Zhang Yu had long since been tattered from the previous battles.

In this fight against Le Mulan, he needed to unleash his full speed, so he simply took off the gravity suit before the battle and spent over ten minutes adjusting.

After the battle began, he deliberately didn’t unleash his full speed, partly to lull Le Mulan and partly to continue warming up.

He needed to adapt to Le Mulan’s sword qi speed and make his body, his blood, warmer, hotter, more fiery!

Bai Zhenzhen: “Her Ice Muscle Jade Bone physique should be a special constitution, whether innate or acquired. In any case, her mana doesn’t need special conversion; it’s directly a low-temperature variant. The moment her mana is refined, it’s already a cut above the rest.”

“When this low-temperature mana is infused into the sword qi, contact will lower your body temperature, slowing down nerve responses and muscle speed…”

“You need to make your body burn to resist this low-temperature mana in a short period.”

At that moment, Zhang Yu’s full-speed sprint was like a thunderbolt. It couldn’t be said that Le Mulan couldn’t react, but it was indeed faster than she anticipated.

“His full speed is this fast? He was holding back before?”

“The low-temperature mana isn’t working?”

This series of unexpected events slowed Le Mulan’s sword qi reaction by another fraction, and she could only slash towards her front, trying to stop Zhang Yu.

Facing the dozen or so sword qi slashes, Zhang Yu struck out with his right arm coated in crimson qi, choosing to clash head-on with the sword qi.

This was precisely the other flaw Bai Zhenzhen mentioned regarding Le Mulan.

Although the Star River Sword Qi was sharp, Le Mulan ultimately hadn’t cultivated this sword technique to the limit achievable in the Qi Refining stage.

Abundant mana allowed her to unleash sword qi without restraint, but with her mana control, she couldn’t precisely control so much sword qi for long.

Therefore, after a period of combat, if multiple sword qi strikes came at once, Le Mulan’s insufficient control would cause the sword qi to interfere with each other, reducing their power.

In an instant, Zhang Yu’s right arm had already clashed with the dozen or so sword qi.

“Indeed, the power isn’t as great as imagined.”

Using the Formless Cloud Qi and the Undying Seal, Zhang Yu shattered most of the sword qi, but his palm was once again cut with several sword wounds. The splashed blood dyed the qi even more crimson, wrapping around his arm like fire.

Zhang Yu’s steps didn’t pause at all; he had already charged within half a meter of Le Mulan, reaching out to grab her arm.

Ah! In an angry roar, Le Mulan burst forth with dozens of sword qi from her fingertips, all slashing towards Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu’s expression didn’t change. Enduring the qi beneath his skin and the Undying Seal, he bore the sword wounds and blood, grabbing Le Mulan’s right arm.

At that moment, Le Mulan was completely engaged in close combat with Zhang Yu.

Bai Zhenzhen’s words flashed through Zhang Yu’s mind again.

“I can sense her sword qi. Killing me isn’t the primary goal; forcing me back is.”

“Her last flaw is likely due to her fastidiousness; she’s not good at close combat.”

“After all, high school has only been in session for half a year. Even for someone that wealthy, I don’t believe she’s really cultivated comprehensively.”

At this moment, facing Zhang Yu’s close combat, Le Mulan, who had seen Zhang Yu’s fight with Song Hailong… instantly felt a strong sense of danger.

Therefore, Le Mulan immediately unleashed waves of low-temperature sword qi, trying to force Zhang Yu back.

But Zhang Yu’s scorching body was continuously bursting with power. The Formless Cloud Qi, mixed with the hot blood flowing from his body, was fiercely blasted out.

For a moment, between the half-meter distance, icy blue sword qi and crimson qi intertwined.

But Le Mulan felt that Zhang Yu in close combat was like a blazing storm, constantly devouring her sword qi and about to swallow her whole.

The sword qi was drawn in by the qi and bounced off by the Undying Seal.

At the same time, the level 2 Back Dragon Mountain-Flipping Hand was launched, slamming Le Mulan heavily onto the ground, making her head spin.

The next moment, seeing Zhang Yu, covered in blood, dirty, and stinking, actually sitting on her, Le Mulan’s face showed horror, and she shouted, “Get off…”

At the same time, the sword qi in her body was about to burst forth again.

But halfway through her shout, before the sword qi could be fully unleashed, she felt a strange noise from her hands. Zhang Yu had already broken her wrist joints with the heavy force of the Back Dragon Mountain-Flipping Hand.

Under the effects of the medicine, she felt no pain, but she could no longer unleash sword qi with her fingers.

Le Mulan looked at Zhang Yu with shock and anger. She hadn’t expected that a moment of dodging, a little carelessness, would allow the other party to seize such an opportunity.

She hadn’t been able to fully display her abilities and had fallen into such a situation.

She was both unwilling and angry, and her legs twitched as she struggled to continue resisting, but she heard Zhang Yu’s cold voice in her ear.

“You said you were rich, and money is part of your power.” With a series of crisp sounds, Le Mulan’s leg joints were also broken by Zhang Yu one by one.

“Now I’m going to beat you to a pulp. Try using money to stop me.”

At that moment, Le Mulan felt like she had become a toy in Zhang Yu’s hands. As he used the Back Dragon Mountain-Flipping Hand, her body joints were destroyed one by one. Soon, she completely lost her mobility and lay on the ground, unable to move.

Le Mulan stared at Zhang Yu, as if wanting to tear him to pieces.

Zhang Yu said indifferently, “Let me tell you one last thing.”
“All your weaknesses were seen through by Bai Zhenzhen, and then she told me.”

“If she hadn’t been short on insurance money…”

“She could have defeated you herself.”

Grabbing Le Mulan’s head and shaking it violently, Zhang Yu flung her off the stage, as if discarding trash, and she landed heavily on the ground.

Looking at Zhang Yu, covered in blood and standing alone on the arena, the entire scene fell silent.

No one could have imagined, no one could have predicted, not even in their wildest dreams, that a poor student from Songyang High School would stand victorious at the end of today’s martial arts competition.

Xiong Wenwu was defeated.

Song Hailong was defeated.

Le Mulan was defeated.

One by one, the academic geniuses and wealthy students from the three major high schools were defeated, defeated by a poor student, defeated by someone from another school.

The poor triumph, the rich fall?

Just as countless students from the three major high schools fell into silence and shock…

Zhao Tianxing suddenly began to applaud excitedly.

He didn’t have any ulterior motives, nor was he trying to show off. He was simply instinctively and uncontrollably applauding after seeing Zhang Yu’s performance today.

At that moment, Zhang Yu’s tattered Songyang High School uniform seemed to become magnificent in Zhao Tianxing’s eyes.

But the solitary applause seemed so abrupt in the spacious, silent hall that Zhao Tianxing stopped nervously after a few claps.

But soon, Bai Zhenzhen, cheering, began to applaud from below the stage.

Qian Shen, next to Zhao Tianxing, also began to applaud, looking towards the stage with shock in his eyes.

He Dayou, the son of a school trustee, also clapped his hands lightly, saying, “You’re quite something, you’ve brought great honor to Songyang.”

Lian Tianji from Ziyun High School also slowly applauded, thinking that his advertisement should be able to come back.

Song Hailong looked at Zhang Yu with a complex expression, and suddenly he also began to applaud. With his applause, all the Bailong people began to applaud as well.

Even Chu Qiuhe, who had been lying on a stretcher pretending to be unconscious, had somehow extended both his hands and was clapping frantically.

Accompanied by the applause of the entire audience, Bai Zhenzhen jumped onto the stage, laughing loudly.

“Champion! Champion! We are the champions!”

“I knew that Le Mulan couldn’t do it, she can’t fight up close, she doesn’t have the skill.”

She pulled Zhang Yu up and raised his hands high, looking proudly at the entire audience. The Songyang High School uniform she wore seemed to become even more dazzling.

She then shouted, “Anyone who wants to invest in advertisements or find endorsements can contact us! My brother is not only a martial arts competition champion, but also fourth place in the Legal Skill Tournament…”

Beside her, Zhang Yu looked at the crowd in the arena, but felt his vision gradually blurring.

Although he wasn’t seriously injured in that battle, he had been under immense concentration… using several martial arts techniques in rapid succession, and bleeding all over the place. Added to the exhaustion from the previous battles, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but feel dizzy again.

He reached out his hand to Bai Zhenzhen, “Zhen, I’m dizzy, help me see a doctor.”

Bai Zhenzhen said excitedly, “Wait, wait, stay here for a bit longer, everyone’s watching us.”

Zhang Yu sighed, “I risked bankruptcy to help you teach Le Mulan a lesson, I fought desperately and bled a lot. You didn’t even call me ‘father,’ and now that ‘father’ is not feeling well, you’re not even willing to lend a hand.”

Bai Zhenzhen felt that Zhang Yu could brag about this for the rest of his life.

But she was still dissatisfied that Zhang Yu hadn’t accurately applied her tactics, criticizing him, “All that blood, wasn’t it because you insisted on showing off? According to my plan, directly spitting, blowing your nose, spitting saliva, isn’t that safer than spilling blood, and the effect is much better?”

Not far away, Le Mulan, lying on the ground waiting for emergency treatment, twitched her eyelids, and a hint of shock seemed to flash in her eyes. She realized something even more deeply: “The bottom line of these two poor people… is unfathomable.”

Bai Zhenzhen had already picked up Zhang Yu and walked towards the emergency area, telling the man not to continue bragging in front of her.

Lei Jun followed behind the two, looking concerned.

Just thinking about Zhang Yu winning first place in the martial arts competition this time made him feel excited.
