Chapter 70: Dueling (2)
There were few restrictions in the camp.
Even for duels, they did not exchange courteous words or greetings. Needless to say, Yu Bao’er and Feng Meiyun did not share a good relationship.
The two readied their stance. With a call of ‘Begin!’ from Chen Haoyang, they began without hesitation.
Two girls. Even if they’ve only trained for a month, the way they aimed their punches was still full of poise.
But since they drew punches, one of them would suffer.
Yu Bao’er’s reaction speed was better. After all, she received training from her family in the past. She tilted her waist in an instant, and with an open palm, she aimed to grab Feng Meiyun to flip her over.
But Feng Meiyun was not dumb either. Reacting quickly, she dodged below her elbow.
The two of them let out grunts as they fought. It was as if they were cheering for themselves.
The rest of the people thought that they were being silly.
Yu Bao’er and Feng Meiyun had similar speeds. It seemed like they were not showing their actual skills. Punches went back and forth, and their actions even seemed a little anxious.
Chen Haoyang probably couldn’t stand watching any longer, and he said, “Is this an embroidery competition?”
Since they’ve only trained for a month, their reactions and movements were still subpar. They were exhibiting more than they were fighting, but with Chen Haoyang’s remark, Feng Meiyun’s expression shifted. She gritted her teeth as her motions gained momentum. With a jump, she did a side somersault and landed a kick on the elbow Yu Bao’er raised to defend herself.
This kick appeared to hurt Yu Bao’er quite a bit.
Her expression immediately shifted when her elbow felt numb from the kick.
And it was Feng Meiyun’s kick.
Yu Bao’er was furious.
She rushed forward with insane speed and landed blow after blow on Feng Meiyun.
Feng Meiyun panicked at this sudden onslaught of attacks, and her actions mirrored her panic.
Chen Haoyang frowned as he watched from the side.
Gu Qingjiu looked on and felt that something was off.
Their attacks felt slow in her eyes.
Perhaps it appeared slow for everyone. After all, a person’s mental processing speed was fast, but if they haven’t trained their bodies well enough, they still wouldn’t be able to react accordingly.
But Gu Qingjiu was confident. She had sparred with Yu Bao’er before, and she noted how the girl had dodged most of her attacks.
Needless to say, Feng Meiyun had no chance of out-winning Yu Bao’er.
Towards the end of the combat, Yu Bao’er threw a kick and then grabbed both of Feng Meiyun’s elbows at the same time, causing her to fall.
“That’s enough!”
Chen Haoyang stopped the match.
After all, the aim of the match was to stop once they’ve seen enough.
There was no need for a deathmatch.
Feng Meiyun crawled up and gritted teeth, sending hateful glares at the gleeful Yu Bao’er.
And she walked back to the squad.
Even though she ignored how people were looking at her, she knew that many of them were chuckling.
She thought their chuckles weren’t because she couldn’t win over Yu Bao’er, but because it was Yu Bao’er’s mistake.
She would mark this embarrassment in her heart and remember to return the favor.
“It’s okay.”
Jiang Yu comforted Feng Meiyun in a low tone of voice. But since Feng Meiyun wasn’t feeling well, it was hard for her to accept her words of comfort. Furthermore, Jiang Yu was pretty skilled with combat as well, and if she were to win, it would be another blow to her ego. With such a comparison, it only showed a stark contrast between them.
Hence, she only nodded and let out a sound of acknowledgment upon hearing Jiang Yu’s words.
