The main characters had yet to arrive, but the freshmen and sophomores below had already started quarreling. They were at daggers drawn, as if they would start fighting in the next moment.
"Quiet down!"
"Don't you know discipline?"
The instructors could not stand it any longer and scolded them.
The students on both sides immediately cowered. The sophomores glared at the freshmen and turned to leave.
"Hmph, what's there to be proud of? If Zhuo Tai loses later, let's see if you can still be so confident." The freshmen were not to be outdone and muttered softly.
"Look, Wang Teng is here!"
Suddenly, someone yelled.
Everyone turned to look and saw Wang Teng slowly walking over from afar. He was neither fast nor slow, making the others anxious for him.
"Why are you only here now? Our Zhuo Tai has been waiting for half a day," a sophomore girl said indignantly.
"That's right, he has no sense of time at all," another sophomore girl also complained.
This Zhuo Tai was quite popular.
Wang Teng could not help but feel a little surprised.
"Uh … Didn't you say 12 o 'clock sharp?" He looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "There's still a minute to go. I'm already early."
"You!" The girls were suddenly speechless.
"Seniors, please don't block me. Your idol Zhuo Tai is still waiting for me," Wang Teng said.
The sophomores seemed to have been seen through by Wang Teng. They were a little embarrassed and turned to look at Zhuo Tai's expression.
Sure enough, they saw him frown and seemed to be a little unhappy. They subconsciously moved aside.
Wang Teng took the opportunity to pass through the group of girls. Along the way, no one stopped him and he walked to the front of the ring.
Everyone looked at him, and the atmosphere was obviously tense.
Wang Teng walked straight to the ring. He glanced around and saw Chen Su and Yang Lin standing at the edge of the ring.
The two of them nodded at Wang Teng.
Chen Su glanced at Zhuo Tai and said, "Wang Teng, today's battle is different from the previous ones."
"By issuing a letter of challenge, it means that … life and death are not allowed!"
"That's why I still want to ask, did you volunteer for this battle?"
"Zhuo Tai has already reached the peak of 1-star soldier level, and he is very strong. He is much stronger than the previous challengers. You have to think carefully about this challenge. You are a freshman, so you have the right to reject. If you choose to back out now, no one will stop you."
"Life and death are not forbidden!?" Wang Teng couldn't help but raise his head to look at Zhuo Tai, but he saw that Zhuo Tai's face was calm and indifferent, as if he didn't take this matter seriously at all.
"Wang Teng was the one who agreed to this battle. My student won't force him." The one who spoke was none other than Zhuo Tai's instructor.
Chen Su frowned as he looked at the middle-aged instructor below the arena and the instructors behind him. He felt that this was a little tricky.
"Seriously, why are these instructors getting involved in the sparring between students?" Chen Su thought to himself with a headache.
Instructor Chen didn't sound like he was threatening Zhuo Tai, but since an instructor spoke up and was obviously on Zhuo Tai's side, the meaning behind this was different.
Wang Teng couldn't help but glance at the instructor. His face didn't reveal any expression.
Just as Chen Su was in a dilemma, a calm voice came from the spectator stand. "Instructor Chen, are you trying to interfere with the responsibilities of the Martial Arts Society?"
When the voice was heard, the surroundings instantly became quiet.
Zhuo Tai's instructor turned around and saw Zhuang He, who was sitting in the spectator stand with his legs crossed and a faint smile on his face. Cheng Wu and the others beside him were also present. He couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Zhuang He, you're so arrogant!" Someone behind Instructor Chen snorted softly, clearly displeased.
"I wouldn't dare to do that in front of you, but this is the rule. If you feel that it's inappropriate, you can talk to the school or the big shots who came out of the Martial Arts Society. I think they will definitely give you a satisfactory answer," Zhuang He said calmly.
The Martial Arts Society was the top society in Huanghai Military Academy. Many students with great potential had joined it before. After those students graduated, most of them had amazing achievements. Many of them were the real big shots now.
It could be said that the Martial Arts Society was a community of interests. It acted as a link and connected the big shots from all walks of life.
When needed, everyone was in the same camp. If it was within their capabilities, they would naturally contribute.
Therefore, they couldn't allow anyone to break the rules of the Martial Arts Society. Once there were no rules, the Martial Arts Society would only exist in name.
The instructors knew this as well.
Going to talk to the big shots wasn't like holding a lantern in a latrine — it was looking for sh * t!
Zhuang He smiled and didn't force them anymore. He said to Wang Teng, who was in the arena, "Junior Wang Teng, have you thought about it carefully? Don't worry, no one will dare to force you. "
"Thank you, Senior!" Wang Teng knew that they had good intentions and nodded to express his gratitude.
"If you don't dare, then scram. Don't waste my time," Zhuo Tai said calmly.
"How dare you! Zhuo Tai, don't go too far. "Chen Su expressed that he couldn't afford to offend the instructors. Could it be that he couldn't suppress a mere sophomore? Chen Su immediately shouted coldly.
"Senior, I'm also a member of the Martial Arts Society. Aren't you being too biased toward him?" Zhuo Tai looked at Chen Su without backing down.
"You know very well whether you're being biased or not. If it's a fair fight, I won't say anything," Chen Su said.
"Hmph! It's useless to say anything more, "Zhuo Tai snorted coldly and suddenly shouted at Wang Teng," Wang Teng, are you going to fight or not? "
"Ha!"
"Don't use this kind of childish provocation. It's useless," Wang Teng's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery and said, "But since you want to fight, then let's fight!"
"Wang Teng, have you thought it through?" Yang Lin asked anxiously from the side.
Zhuo Tai's previous fighting record was too shocking. To be honest, most of them felt that Wang Teng had no chance of winning this fight.
"Senior Sister, Senior Brother, thank you for your concern. I've thought it through." Wang Teng smiled at Yang Lin and Chen Su.
Chen Su and Yang Lin couldn't help but look at each other. They were in a public position and couldn't say anything.
They sighed in their hearts and then said, "Fists and feet have no eyes, swords and sabers are merciless. You guys … take care of yourselves!"
As the two retreated, only Wang Teng and Zhuo Tai were left in the center of the arena. The atmosphere gradually became tense.
"So, issuing a challenge means that life and death are not allowed. I only found out today."
Wang Teng looked at Zhuo Tai opposite him and said, "Senior Zhuo Tai, I don't seem to have a big grudge against you. At most, it's just a dispute between students. As for a life and death fight?"
"When those seniors challenged me, I could feel that they didn't have the intention to kill me. They only did it for the military rank. I thought that in the university, students sparred with each other like this. Only today did I realize how naive I was."
Zhuo Tai's eyes were sharp as he coldly said:
"In a battle of martial arts, victory and defeat are decided, and life and death are decided!"
Wang Teng looked at his face and fell silent for a moment. Then, he shook his head and suddenly smiled.
"Okay, I understand!"
