“When did he get behind me?!”
Subconsciously, she wanted to turn and sweep with her weapon.
But it was too late.
One of Lin Ye’s hands rested lightly on her shoulder.
He didn’t use any force.
It was just a light tap.
“Pat.”
“If I were an enemy,”
“your neck would already be broken by now.”
Lin Ye’s voice was very soft, very calm.
But to Maki, it sounded like a thunderclap!
Humiliation!
This was complete and utter humiliation!
She, the dignified Maki Zen’in, a powerhouse specializing in hand-to-hand combat, had actually been handled by a freshman in a single exchange?!
“Don’t look down on me!!!”
Maki roared.
She jerked her shoulder, shaking off Lin Ye’s hand.
The naginata in her hand spun with the momentum, and the handle slammed fiercely toward Lin Ye’s abdomen!
If this hit landed, his intestines would be knotted!
“Yo.”
“In a rush?”
The corners of Lin Ye’s mouth curled up slightly.
“Insight Eye, activate!”
[Ding!
Attack trajectory detected!]
[Left abdomen, power rating: A grade.]
[Recommendation: Block and counter, or…
neutralize it in a more humiliating way.]
“A more humiliating way?”
“Hehe, System, you’ve become bad.”
“But I like it.”
Lin Ye swayed his body.
He didn’t retreat.
Instead, he closed in!
Just as the handle was about to strike, he suddenly raised his knee!
“Bang!”
His knee struck the shaft of the naginata precisely!
A collision of immense force!
Maki felt the web of her hand go numb; the naginata almost flew out of her hand!
“What?!”
“This guy’s strength…
is actually greater than mine?!”
Maki was terrified.
She was a Heavenly Restriction user!
Her extreme physique was exchanged for Cursed Energy!
Why could this freshman with Cursed Energy suppress her in terms of strength?!
“It’s not over yet.”
Lin Ye’s voice sounded again.
Using the recoil from the knee strike, he leaped into the air.
His right leg was raised high like a battle axe.
Then, it drew a perfect arc in the air.
And chopped down fiercely!
Target — Maki’s shoulder!
“Oh no!”
Maki could only raise her naginata to block.
“Clang!!!”
A loud noise! The source of this chapter is g.com.
Lin Ye’s leg slammed heavily onto the shaft of the naginata!
Terrifying power erupted instantly!
Maki felt as if her arms had been hit by a truck; her bones were groaning!
“Ugh!”
She let out a muffled groan.
Her legs went soft, and she was forced to one knee by this single blow!
The concrete ground was instantly shattered by her knee!
Dust billowed.
Lin Ye stood with one foot on the shaft of the naginata.
Looking down at Maki, who was kneeling on one knee.
Moonlight spilled onto his face, outlining that cynical smile.
“What’s wrong, senior?”
“Didn’t you just say…”
“that hand-to-hand combat is the only standard to test the truth?”
“Now it seems…”
“your standard is a bit low.”
Silence.
Dead silence.
The two figures hiding in the bushes nearby were now completely petrified.
One was Panda.
The other was Toge Inumaki.
Panda was holding a bamboo shoot, his mouth wide open, not even realizing the bamboo shoot had fallen to the ground.
“Holy sh*t…”
“Is this for real?”
“That’s Maki, right?
That’s the Maki!”
“Actually getting beaten by a freshman…
and being suppressed?”
“And it’s pure hand-to-hand combat?!”
Toge Inumaki was also shocked, pulling down his collar to reveal his delicate face.
“Salmon roe…” (Translation: This is unbelievable…)
“Tuna mayo…” (Translation: This kid is so strong…)
In the arena.
Maki knelt on the ground, panting heavily.
Sweat dripped down her cheeks.
That was the sweat of humiliation.
And also…
the sweat of excitement!
“Hehe…”
“Hehehe…”
Maki suddenly laughed.
The laughter grew louder and wilder.
“Hahahaha!!!”
She looked up abruptly, her eyes showing no sign of discouragement.
Only a fanaticism that seemed to want to burn everything!
“Good!”
“Very good!”
“Lin Ye, right?!”
“You brat…
you’re damn exciting!”
Maki exerted force suddenly!
Her muscles tensed all over!
“Get…
up!!!”
Boom!
She actually pushed against Lin Ye’s leg and stood up by force!
Then she swung her blade violently, forcing Lin Ye back.
“Warm-up is over.”
Maki threw the naginata aside.
She flexed her wrists, which made a “crack” sound.
“Since you like hand-to-hand combat so much.”
“Then I’ll play with you to the end!”
“No weapons!”
“Fist against fist!”
“Whoever goes down first is a coward!”
Maki pulled off her hair tie, and her long dark green hair fell down instantly.
At this moment, she was like a lioness completely unleashed!
Wild!
Berserk!
Breathtakingly beautiful!
Lin Ye landed, and seeing Maki like this, his eyes lit up.
[Ding!
Detected Maki Zen’in entering “Berserk” state!]
[Current mood: Extremely excited / Encountered an opponent / Wants to tear you apart.]
[Mission changed: In this state, completely conquer her with your fists!]
[Reward upgraded: Maki favorability +30 (friends through fighting), Physique points +10!]
“Oh?”
“A bit interesting.”
Lin Ye chewed up the lollipop in his mouth and swallowed it.
“Since you’re so interested, senior.”
“Then I will…”
“get a little serious.”
Lin Ye struck a starting pose.
It wasn’t any orthodox style.
But rather…
A combination of the System’s “Mastery-level Hand-to-Hand Combat” and his previous life’s fighting techniques —
“Lin-style: Wild Brawling.”
“Come!”
Both of them roared at the same time!
“Bang!”
Two figures collided in an instant!
Fist to flesh!
Nothing fancy!
Only the most primitive collision of power!
“Ora ora ora!” (He didn’t shout it out, but the momentum was there.)
Maki’s fists were as fast as lightning, each punch carrying the sound of wind, heading straight for Lin Ye’s face, throat, and heart!
Every move was lethal!
And Lin Ye did not dodge or evade!
Counter-attack!
Just head-on!
You hit me with a punch?
Good!
I’ll give you a punch too!
Let’s see who can’t hold on first!
“Bang!”
Maki punched Lin Ye in the chest!
Lin Ye didn’t budge, and backhanded a hook punch into Maki’s abdomen!
“Ugh!”
Maki bent over in pain, but in the next second, she kneed Lin Ye towards his chin!
“Pat!”
