Chapter 886: Chapter 875: Pretending to Be Weak to Outsmart the Strong

Ghost Leg Seven stood about three meters in front of Song Yun. Although the fight with Meng Quan had drained a lot of Ghost Leg Seven’s energy, who was his opponent? A member from the third team of the literary group; Ghost Leg Seven had nothing to fear. If he couldn’t even beat someone from the third group, he might as well not hang around in the Special Operations Group.

Song Yun looked a bit cautious, but of course, much of that caution was feigned. Because, Song Yun suddenly realized, if he narrowly defeated Ghost Leg Seven later, there might be people who don’t like him, or who want to avenge Ghost Leg Seven and challenge him, allowing him to wager things again!

At Song Yun’s level, although he might not be able to beat a few group leaders within the Special Operations Group, he was quite confident against the average members. Of course, this didn’t rule out hidden experts among them, but Song Yun was confident that even if he encountered one, he could at least manage a draw. Moreover, Song Yun believed his luck wouldn’t be so bad that he’d encounter a super expert within just one or two battles, allowing him to earn a fortune first. Even if he lost later, it would likely be just by a little.

Song Yun’s calculations were quite tactically sound.

Ghost Leg Seven had no idea what Song Yun was thinking. Upon hearing Mr. Lang’s command, Ghost Leg Seven had just decided to step forward and teach Song Yun a lesson when, unexpectedly, Song Yun gave him a strange or perhaps flirtatious smile. Ghost Leg Seven was shocked — was Song Yun planning to use some peculiar method to win against him? Or perhaps Song Yun secretly had a crush on him? Otherwise, why would he smile so lasciviously?

As a staunch man who liked women, Ghost Leg Seven couldn’t tolerate that and charged at Song Yun with a shout, while Song Yun also shouted and charged at Ghost Leg Seven. The two of them quickly engaged in a thrilling display of martial arts for the audience.

Song Yun first attempted the Black Tiger Heart Stealing, but Ghost Leg Seven dodged it effortlessly and retaliated with a beautiful Roundhouse Kick, which Song Yun narrowly avoided. Song Yun then unleashed a series of moves like Monkey Stealing Peaches and Immortals Crossing the Sea, leading to an animated exchange of blows between them.

The surrounding spectators were quite curious about how Song Yun could withstand Ghost Leg Seven’s attack for so long. Apparently, members of the third group could fight, but their skills were averagely mediocre, nowhere near sustaining under Ghost Leg Seven’s feet for so long. Initially, these people thought perhaps the newcomer was young and reckless, but it turns out he’s got some real skills!

“Never thought the literary group could produce someone who could fight, though he’s only slightly better than a regular person. It’s quite difficult for him to beat a wounded Ghost Leg Seven. If it were me, I would’ve ended it in a few moves!”

Such thoughts spread among the surrounding crowd.

Finally, after a battle spanning over fifty rounds, Song Yun employed tactics of aggressive attack, then flank maneuver, and finally adopted guerrilla warfare methods, successfully wearing down Ghost Leg Seven. He then landed a beautiful straight punch to Ghost Leg Seven’s previous wound, causing Ghost Leg Seven to collapse gracefully.

Mr. Lang looked at Song Yun with a bit of surprise; he really didn’t expect this newcomer to endure and win against Ghost Leg Seven, even though Ghost Leg Seven’s strength had been significantly weakened; it wasn’t anyone’s game to win!

“Damn, if I were in my prime, I definitely could’ve won!” Ghost Leg Seven gasped, trying to stand up, but the wound hit by Song Yun’s punch throbbed with intense pain, forcing Ghost Leg Seven to concede. If he continued fighting, he would only be humiliated.

Song Yun also gasped, looking at Ghost Leg Seven with delight and saying, “Hmph, looks like I’m not the one lying down, it’s you! You lost, come on, the agreed item, give it to me!!”

Ghost Leg Seven snorted coldly and fished out a piece of paper, tossing it to Song Yun.

Song Yun took a look at it — it was a coupon for two recovery potions.

Seeing Ghost Leg Seven trying to leave, Song Yun said, “Aren’t you forgetting something?”

Ghost Leg Seven turned to stare at Song Yun and said, “You just got lucky, what more do you want!”

“You did say earlier, if I won, you’d say the third group isn’t the literary group, don’t forget!” Song Yun said.

“Hmph! Don’t get cocky!” Ghost Leg Seven said with a cold snort.

“I’m not being cocky, you know, whoever loses must pay up. Of course, you’re a veteran, you can choose to cheat, it’s not like I can do anything about it!” Song Yun said fearlessly.

“Who’s cheating!” Ghost Leg Seven said, “Fine, I’ll say it: From today onward, I admit the third group is no longer the literary group!”

Song Yun chuckled and said, “That’s better! Haha, thanks, thanks!”

Standing on the sidelines was Fatty, who appeared slightly happy and his eyes gleamed with admiration for his colleague. It seemed he was rather good, at least showing a strong sense of the bigger picture.

“Since you beat Ghost Leg Seven, why don’t we give it a try as well?” Meng Quan stepped forward and said to Song Yun, “I also beat Ghost Leg Seven, if you can beat me, I’ll give you the two recovery potions I won from Ghost Leg Seven. Of course, if you lose, you’ll have to give me the potions!”

Song Yun hesitated for a moment and said, “I’m really tired now, not sure how long I can fight!”

“Same here, I just had a fight with Ghost Leg Seven too, and haven’t had much time to recover yet. This way it’s fair between us, isn’t it?”

“Well… alright then, two bottles, agreed!” Song Yun said hesitantly, his eyes showing genuine greed for the potions.

Meng Quan chuckled secretly, “This time, I can get two more potions!”

Song Yun also secretly laughed to himself, “There’s my first catch, I better make it a tough fight!”

At Mr. Lang’s command, Song Yun and Meng Quan’s match began. From the start, it was intensely close; Song Yun and Meng Quan exchanged blows back and forth, almost evenly matched. The fight wore on, with both severely depleted of energy, their actions slower and weaker. Flaws appeared inevitably, with Song Yun landing a punch and Meng Quan grabbing Song Yun, both looking exhausted and out of breath.

In the end, Song Yun won the match; he found an opening in Meng Quan’s defense and landed a punch right on Meng Quan’s Adam’s apple, making him lie on the ground unable to get up for quite a while.
