"Selfish!" Ba Lv said angrily, "You fought three matches today, I haven’t even had one."
"It’s not my fault," Yanran laughed.
As the two were talking, Jiang Cheng returned.
"Teacher, you’re back!" The two immediately started to butter up Jiang Cheng.
Yanran grabbed a towel to wipe Jiang Cheng’s face, and Ba Lv brought a cup of tea to him.
"What’s going on today?" Jiang Cheng teased the two students, "Did the sun rise from the west?"
"Hehe." The two stood in front of Jiang Cheng, smiling brightly. Finally, Yanran spoke first, "Teacher, I have something to tell you, but please don’t be mad."
"What is it? Go ahead." Jiang Cheng picked up his cup and took a sip of water.
"We went to the underground tournament today," Yanran said, glancing at Jiang Cheng’s reaction.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Cheng wasn’t angry at all.
"Teacher, you don’t know, Yanran was amazing today! She defeated all three opponents in a single blow," Ba Lv praised Yanran, "Today, your female student did you proud, Tianming."
"Since you’ve already participated, just continue," Jiang Cheng put down his cup, "But don’t let your guard down; lots of people join these underground fights, including some top fighters from neighboring planets."
Yanran and Ba Lv had joined the underground tournament with their teacher, and although they had achieved good results, they still feared Jiang Cheng would scold them.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Cheng wasn’t angry at all about their self-initiated participation. Instead, he reminded them to be aware that there were still some experts among the competitors.
Yanran and Ba Lv exchanged glances. Ba Lv asked Jiang Cheng, "Teacher, do you not want to join the fight?"
Jiang Cheng glanced at Ba Lv, "Nonsense! If I joined and we met in a match, how would that look?"
The two female students laughed, realizing it would be quite awkward if they faced their teacher in the ring.
"Teacher, I think you should join this match," Ba Lv insisted, continuing to persuade Jiang Cheng, "You said it yourself, this competition has strong participants. We might not make it far alone."
"Right, right, we’re not in it for the fame or the prize money," Yanran added, "We just want to see where we stand among these competitors. But if someone else wins in the end, Teacher, we wouldn’t be content."
"Come on, Teacher," Ba Lv said, "We’ve already registered for the martial arts competition, so let’s go together to the underground match. It’ll be fun!"
"Exactly, besides, there’s nothing much going on lately. Are we just going to stay cooped up in the hotel until the martial arts competition starts?" Yanran chimed in, "Rather than wait around aimlessly, why not join the fight?"
The two female disciples tirelessly coaxed their teacher to participate. Their persistent persuasion, both gentle and firm, finally convinced Jiang Cheng. He agreed to go check out the underground matches with them that afternoon.
"Yes!" Yanran and Ba Lv high-fived in celebration.
"Let’s go eat!" Yanran and Ba Lv dragged their teacher along, "No saying no!"
With such spirited female students, Jiang Cheng really couldn’t refuse their request.
Even the Flaming Firebird, knowing it was going out, excitedly cawed.
The two now-larger dinosaur babies circled around their feet, these little ones had started to become more intelligent after being with Flaming Firebird.
Now sensing they would be going outside, they hummed with excitement.
Thus, the three humans and three pets stepped out of the hotel.
The combination of beautiful people along with their exotic pets attracted the attention of many passersby.
Jiang Cheng and his group didn’t pay attention to the stares. Yanran and Ba Lv whispered and laughed quietly, discussing the underground tournament as they disappeared into the crowded street.
"Boss, boss!" A small boy rushed over to Fatty.
Fatty slammed the cup he was holding onto the table, scolding loudly, "Who’s chasing you?"
The boy was stunned; he didn’t understand what his boss meant by that, "No one."
"No one’s chasing, what are you panicking for?" Fatty himself, due to being overweight, would huff and puff while walking, so seeing someone run so fast evoked a bit of jealousy. The boy just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
"Boss, those three people from the Extraterrestrial Planet have arrived," the boy reported truthfully without making any excuses, quickly updating Fatty on the situation.
"What?" Hearing this report, Fatty also got nervous. He immediately turned on the monitor to check the situation at the underground match.
The other three bosses also gathered around, boxing in the monitor tightly.
Jiang Cheng was already standing on the ring.
His opponent was a towering giant, rippling with muscle and a face full of scars, making his presence very intimidating.
Before Jiang Cheng took the stage, he had heard about this giant’s reputation. This was already his fourth match, and in his first three, he easily defeated his opponents.
Jiang Cheng stood across from him, arms crossed, observing him with an expressionless face.
The roaring cheers of the Zhou Country surrounding him seemed to leave him unaffected.
The giant, on the other hand, stretched out his massive hand to interact with the audience around the stage.
He circled the ring a few times, energetically pounding his muscle-bound chest and showcasing his massive biceps to the crowd.
This act garnered even louder cheers from the audience.
Yanran’s match hadn’t started yet, she and Ba Lv stood by Jiang Cheng’s ring, watching the upcoming bout quietly.
As for Ba Lv, she had already quit the competition, choosing to be their assistant instead – it was her who helped Jiang Cheng with his hand wraps before he got on stage.
Yanran saw Ba Lv squeeze through the crowd to her side and asked, "All set?"
Ba Lv exhaled heavily, "Damn, where did all these people come from? I stood in line forever."
Turns out, she went outside to place bets.
Yanran asked how much Ba Lv bet on Jiang Cheng, and Ba Lv leaned in to whisper in her ear.
Yanran raised her head in surprise, while Ba Lv grinned smugly and winked at her.
Jiang Cheng’s first match in the underground tournament began.
As soon as the referee’s hand came down, the giant roared and lunged at Jiang Cheng. Standing at least two meters tall with muscles all over, his charge was impressive.
Many spectators stood up. In the giant’s first three matches, he had used this exact opening move to defeat two opponents.
Now, they held their breath, ready to witness the giant’s performance again.
With the giant’s full-force attack, his heavy footsteps thudded loudly, shaking the ring slightly, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Jiang Cheng.
With a loud roar, he reached out his large hand, aiming to grab Jiang Cheng’s chest and lift him.
The sound at the scene vanished, the spectators stood up in amazement, stunned by the unbelievable scene on stage.
The giant was frozen in mid-lunge, standing there motionless.
