Chapter 164 Challenge
"Jian Qing, thank you for speaking for me in front of Master."

After Zhong Shaoying's family moved into the martial arts hall, they felt relieved and were extremely grateful to Lu Jianqing.

Although his family was nominally slaves, moving from the crisis-ridden countryside to the city and being away from danger was a blessing.

Among the inner court disciples, only Lu Jianqing had the face to make the old man obey his orders.

"You're too polite, Senior Brother. I am where I am today, and I want to thank you for your promotion!"

Lu Jianqing was originally a young man from a farming family. It was Zhong Shaoying who introduced him to join the martial arts school, which led to his current success.

His temperament has changed greatly now. He is confident and upbeat, and his whole body is filled with an uplifting aura.

"Zhong Shaoying, come and fight!"

A clear voice reached the sky and echoed clearly inside and outside the martial arts hall. Everyone could hear it clearly.

A local apprentice came hurriedly to report the news.

"Two senior brothers, Zhou You has set up a challenge in the outer courtyard to challenge Senior Brother Zhong. Many fellow disciples have gone to watch the fight."

Lu Jianqing's face darkened. "Who does he think he is? How dare he challenge Senior Brother Zhong? I'll go meet him."

Although he had just broken through his Qi and Blood, he received instruction from Wang Jianxiong every day. In terms of the time he spent under the guidance of his mentor, no one could match him.

In addition, he has mastered the full set of White Tiger Seven Killings, making it effortless for him to deal with Zhou You.

"I have been wanting to deal with him for a long time. If he knows what's good for him and behaves himself, he could stay for a few more days."

"Since he is overestimating his own abilities, Senior Brother Zhong, just send him away."

Lu Jianqing's impression of Zhou You was when he saw him teaching basic boxing techniques when he first entered the outer courtyard.

Now that I think about it, the other party's strength is just average, definitely at the bottom of the inner courtyard disciples, about the same as Shi Gaofei.

Zhong Shaoying laughed and said, "Junior Brother Jianqing, you are sleepy and here comes the pillow. I have been wanting to deal with him for a long time but never had the chance. I didn't expect to come and die by myself."

"Have a cup of tea. I'll be back soon."

There was strong confidence in his tone, and it could be done in just a cup of tea.

"What's the point of drinking tea? I'll go watch the battle and support Senior Brother Zhong."

On the way, Zhong Shaoying asked the apprentice who reported the news, "Who did he invite to watch the battle?"

"Zuo Twelve, Shen Sijing, Xu Ying, and Li Hao."

Lu Jianqing snorted heavily. The other party was showing off their muscles. These people were all Zhou You’s die-hard fans.

There was an arena in the open space of the outer courtyard, where Zhou You was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, resting.

The audience was crowded with people, and most of the apprentices from the martial arts school were present.

Zuo Twelve stood in the crowd, covering his mouth and coughing, as if he was extremely sick.

Li Hao frowned when he saw this, "Stop pretending, no one is watching you here."

They were invited to come here on a tour, to witness the battle with their own eyes.

The lonely figure on the ring exudes a tragic aura of loneliness, courage and determination in everyone's sight.

No one thought that Zhou You was a match for Zhong Shaoying. Everyone thought that he was just making a desperate attempt because he was in a desperate situation.

Xu Ying requested in a low voice, "Brother Shen, Zhong Shaoying is a ruthless person. If things really come to a critical point, you must help Zhou You."

The implication is that if Zhou You is defeated in the ring, please ask Shen Sijing to intervene and not let Zhong Shaoying kill him.

Shen Sijing nodded, "I know."

The noise from the outer courtyard passed through the many doors and windows and entered the back house, where the newly moved-in family members were all talking about this matter.

The families of Lu Jianqing and Zhong Shaoying were all talking about it.

"How can someone so blind as to dare to challenge Zhong Shaoying? Isn't this courting death?"

"Hey, practicing boxing and martial arts, competitions are commonplace. My Zhong Shaoying has won every battle, and the number of people he has killed cannot be counted on one's ten fingers. This round is not a big deal."

The chattering sounds made the backyard as lively as a vegetable market.

Wang Yan snorted in dissatisfaction and slammed the silk fan on the table, "I'm so annoyed!"

Since these people moved into the backyard, the environment has deteriorated. Every day, they are seen without restraint, talking loudly, spitting, and even wanting to dig manure pits and cage chickens on the flat ground. Since that kid Lu entered the inner courtyard and quickly took away her favor, her original life has been turned upside down.

Dad even wanted to marry her to Lu Jianqing...

Wang Yan cried and made a fuss, and as a result, her father no longer indulged her as before and became extremely strict.

"They are a bunch of uneducated bastards!"

The maid came in quickly from outside, "Miss, Zhou You is challenging Zhong Shaoying in the outer courtyard."

"Everyone went to watch the fun."

The entire martial arts hall was in an uproar; this was the first time in recent years that inner court disciples had openly competed with each other.

Everyone knows that this is no ordinary competition. The conflict between the two sides has been going on for a long time, and in addition to winning or losing, they are involved in a life-and-death battle.

With such a big thing happening, where was the museum owner Wang Jianxiong and what was his reaction when he heard about it?

"call?"

The air was filled with smoke, and a concubine with a slender back was serving beside him.

Wang Jianxiong was lying on a bamboo chair, smoking, looking deep into the distance. He had been in this position for a long time.

Although the concubine's feet were sore from standing, she did not dare to complain at all. She was just curious.

There are seven or eight layers of walls separating this small courtyard. Could it be possible that the old man's gaze could go around, through the doors and walls, and see the excitement happening in front?
Looking down from a nearby three-story teahouse, you can see the plaque of Jianxiong Martial Arts School.

Zhang Shiyu looked down and stared in the direction of the martial arts hall. Due to the high walls, he could only hear the noisy sounds coming from the air.

I knew what was going on inside, but I couldn't go in and see it with my own eyes.

"Zhou You, you can lose this battle, but you can't die."

"Within ten days, I will break through my Qi and Blood and avenge you. Your life belongs to me."

His heart was burning with anger, so he picked up the cold tea and drank it all in one gulp. Instead of calming down, the burning sensation became even worse.

Who would have thought that although he hated Zhou You so much, he actually hoped that Zhou You could survive.

There were footsteps behind me, and a deep voice came, "Shiyu, I knew you came here for tea."

The person who came was his adoptive father, Captain Ye.

"It's good to take a look. At least you can understand your enemy clearly."

Zhang Shiyu asked in surprise, "Father, do you think he has a chance of winning?"

Captain Ye shrugged, "Victory and defeat are unpredictable, life and death are on the line, who can judge until the last moment?"

There was a commotion in the outer courtyard, and the crowd parted like the sea split by the bow of a ship.

Zhong Shaoying came to accept the challenge, accompanied by Lu Jianqing, and walked calmly to the outer courtyard.

The local apprentices rushed forward, and they were numerous and powerful, calling out, "Senior Brother Zhong, Senior Brother Lu."

On the ring, Zhou You stood up, brushed the dust off the corners of his clothes, and finally arrived.

At this moment, his mental state was elevated to its peak, and his qi and blood were adjusted to be almost full.

In the space around him, the dust particles fell into a stagnant state.

He looked down at Zhong Shaoying and said, "Get on stage quickly."

"Haha, you don't even have the patience to wait for death. I'll grant your wish."

Zhong Shaoying nodded to Lu Jianqing, indicating that it was okay, and suddenly pushed off the ground, jumped 10 meters away and 4 meters high, and landed lightly on the ring.

He stepped on the ring, indicating that he accepted the challenge.

The Winged Tiger Zhou You VS the Skull-Splitting Tiger Zhong Shaoying.

A situation of two people confronting each other on the ring was formed. If it wanted to end, only one of them would be defeated or killed.

Today we just want to see whether the winged tiger will tear Zhong Shaoying apart, or the skull-splitting tiger will split Zhou You's head.
