“Junior brother Zi Chen, teach him a lesson, senior sister hates guys who like to moral-bind others the most!”
“Junior brother Zi Chen, I’ll be cheering loudly for you later!”
“Junior brother Zi Chen, go for it, I’ll take some great photos for you!”
When Lin Zichen stepped up to the challenge, the scene suddenly erupted with noise.
Most of it was the voices of Lin Zichen’s little fangirls.
Hearing all this one-sided support, Zhang Kai felt neither moved nor amused—quite the opposite, in fact.
You all think I’m some brainless brute?
Wrong! Deadly wrong!
I’m a mastermind disguised as a fool!
You’re all on level three, thinking I’m on level one, but actually, I’m on level five!
I’m just taking advantage of this genius kid before he fully develops, to publicly overpower him and secure a glorious victory for my martial arts career!
In the past month, Zhang Kai had been well aware of Lin Zichen’s disruptively advanced martial arts talent.
He knew very well that if Lin Zichen were given another six months of training, no one in the team would be able to match him.
Therefore, while Lin Zichen had just started training and hadn’t grown strong yet, it was time to publicly spar with him and thoroughly crush him.
That way, the higher Lin Zichen’s martial arts achievements soared in the future, the more he could brag about it.
He could boast to anyone who’d listen, saying, “Back in the day, I was the man who whooped genius Lin on the Martial Stage!”
Lin Zichen had no idea Zhang Kai had all this drama going on in his head.
With a thought, he dismissed the text message from the void, handed his clothes back to Shen Qinghan, and then walked towards the Martial Stage ahead. As he walked, he said,
“It’s getting late, and I still need to get home for dinner, so let’s make it quick.”
“Come on!”
Zhang Kai replied and lifted his leg to head towards the Martial Stage.
Seeing them move, Guo Xiangyuan, their coach, quickly followed the two of them towards the stage.
On the Martial Stage.
Once both of them had taken their positions, Guo Xiangyuan said, “I’ll be the referee for this sparring match. Remember, friendship comes first, competition second; don’t hurt the camaraderie.”
Lin Zichen: “Mhm, got it, coach.”
Zhang Kai didn’t respond but instead shouted to Li Shutong down below, “Little Li, help record the process of our sparring!”
He wanted to preserve today’s achievement in video form so that he could show it off once Lin Zichen made something of himself.
“Sure.” Li Shutong, one of the members of the Martial Arts Team, gave him an OK sign and then took out his phone to begin recording the Martial Stage.
Shen Qinghan below also took out her phone and started recording, wanting to capture the process of Lin Zichen’s match.
Unlike Zhang Kai, she knew how strong Lin Zichen was and wanted to record his victory.
“Are you both ready?”
On the Martial Stage, Guo Xiangyuan asked the two sparring team members.
Lin Zichen: “Ready.”
Zhang Kai: “We can start, coach.”
Seeing that both were prepared, Guo Xiangyuan retreated to the edge of the Martial Stage, raised his right hand high, and then brought it down powerfully, announcing,
“The sparring begins now!”
As his words fell, neither of the two on stage took immediate action.
Among them, Zhang Kai, full of confidence, put on airs and said,
“Junior brother, you’ve barely been on the team for over a month, whereas I’ve been here for nearly two years. So, I’ll let you have the first three moves, so you can’t accuse me of bullying by virtue of my age.”
“Alright.”
Lin Zichen replied succinctly, then suddenly charged forward, rapidly closing the distance to Zhang Kai and directly kicking him off the Martial Stage.
Zhang Kai: “???”
The six team members below: “What the heck!”
Guo Xiangyuan was dumbstruck.
The Fresh Milk Senior Sister screamed, “Ahhh! Junior brother Zi Chen, you’re amazing! You’ve completely stolen my soul!”
The other little fangirls also began screaming in adoration.
On the Martial Stage.
Lin Zichen didn’t pay attention to the uproar below, his focus was entirely on the text information floating in the void.
[You have defeated a competitor and successfully captured the heart of the opposite sex, gaining the right of first choice in mating.]
[Total competitors eliminated: 1/1000]
Still need to eliminate 999 competitors…
Thinking this, Lin Zichen put away the text information and looked down at the other six teammates and asked,
“Would any of you six like to spar with me as well?”
However, nobody responded to him.
Because everyone was stupefied, still not having recovered from the shock of the scene just now.
The first to snap out of it was Zhang Kai, who Lin Zichen had just kicked off the Martial Stage.
At this moment, Zhang Kai was enduring the pain in his lower abdomen, struggling to get up from the ground, returning to the Martial Stage, unconvinced, he said, “That doesn’t count, I wasn’t even ready. Let’s do it again!”
Guo Xiangyuan, hearing this, came back to his senses, frowned at Zhang Kai, and said somewhat displeased, “Zhang Kai, honor your bets, don’t lose the spirit of martial arts along with the match.”
Zhang Kai opened his mouth to argue, but Guo Xiangyuan didn’t give him the chance. The very next second, he looked down at Li Shutong and shouted towards him, “Li Shutong, come up and spar with Zi Chen.”
“Oh, okay, okay!” Upon hearing this, Li Shutong put down his phone, responding as he climbed onto the Martial Stage.
In the following time.
Lin Zichen sparred with all the teammates on his team and, as expected, won every match.
However, in order to make it seem as though his strength was still within a normal range, he didn’t annihilate his opponents instantly like he had done with Zhang Kai.
Instead, he drew out the fight, exchanged a few moves, then defeated them.
In this way, the exaggerated combat power he had displayed by instantly knocking out Zhang Kai was easily explained, sparing him many unnecessary complications.
Everyone would think that Zhang Kai’s instant defeat was purely because Zhang Kai was showing off and carelessly overestimated himself, and not because Lin Zichen truly had the power to knock him out in one blow.
“Genius, Zi Chen, you’re truly a genius!”
“You’ve only joined the Martial Arts Team for a bit over a month, and you’ve already become the ace of the team!”
“In this year’s district martial arts competition, our Shanhai High School will definitely beat the other nine schools and secure the first place in the district!”
Guo Xiangyuan patted Lin Zichen on the shoulder, his face beaming with a smile.
Meanwhile, Zhang Kai, who had originally refused to accept Lin Zichen, believing he had lost the spar because of his own carelessness, now thoroughly conceded defeat.
He had watched Lin Zichen’s spars with the other teammates with great attention and realized he truly lagged behind Lin Zichen, leaving nothing more to say.
“Zi Chen, I, Zhang Kai, admit defeat and will accept the consequences. Even if you were to poo on my head, I wouldn’t complain one bit!”
Zhang Kai looked towards Lin Zichen, his voice booming as he shouted, sounding like he was taking an oath.
He thought he looked cool doing this, showing that he kept his word and willing to admit defeat, which would surely earn the favor of the girls.
However, when the surrounding girls heard him bluntly say the distasteful words “poo on my head,” they instantly thought he was vulgar and didn’t even want to glance at him anymore.
Lin Zichen had no time to deal with Zhang Kai, staring with a slight frown at the text information in the void.
[Achievement: Eliminate 1000 different competitors by the most primal biological means in an official competitive context.]
[Reward: Gain Biometric Attribute—Survival of the Fittest]
[Total competitors eliminated: 1/1000]
The progress only increased when defeating Zhang Kai, and not at all when defeating the other six teammates.
Considering the text information that appeared when he defeated Zhang Kai, Lin Zichen pondered seriously and soon came to a conclusion.
Not just any contest could increase the achievement task’s progress; it had to be a competitive one with conflicting interests, like a duel for mating rights.
“It seems that to complete this achievement in the future, I’ll need to participate in more competitions,” he muttered to himself.
The contests in competitions were all imbued with competitiveness.
Competition for ranking.
Competition for prize money.
Therefore, as long as he defeated opponents in competitions, he would definitely be able to increase the progress of the achievement task.
