To Love You Again

The bell sounded and the crowd cheered.

Under the vigorous eyes of everyone, Tang Xinyang immediately moved.

She did not dare to let her guard down or underestimate William's ability.

She steadied her feet, lowered her center, readied her fists, and gathered qigong.

Ha!

William blocked the upcoming fist with crossed arms.

Bang!

Tang Xinyang narrowed her eyes after her fist was blocked. 

William did not even move from where he was standing. A small but condensed amount of qigong was on William's arm. With the help of this internal energy, it blocked Tang Xinyang's attack with no effort.

William's left foot moved slightly. Tang Xinyang immediately caught sight of that small movement and distanced herself.

The crowd cheered at the first exchange of blows.

"What delicate use of qigong! This is really a fight between experts!"

"Can you see how condensed William Grand's qigong is? He managed to block the reaper's fist!"

"Miss Tang Xinyang is fast to dodge as well. She made a great decision to distance herself just now."

The onlookers exchanged their views. Beyond the crowd, a silent man stood alone.

Tang Xinyang glanced at her fist. It kind of stung. It showed that William's qigong was superior than hers.

Senior was actually stronger than her...

If he was stronger, then this fight would be more fun!

Tang Xinyang smiled with a joyful air on her heroic brows, her eyes sparkling. "Bring it on, senior! I take back what I said! Don't be gentle on me!"

William raised his brows. 

Those words... brought R-18 images in his mind.

He coughed unnaturally. "I will do my best as your senior."

Nevertheless, he still planned to go easy on Tang Xinyang. He would fight her with the heart and mind of a senior. 

He was never rough on women.

Tang Xinyang attacked again.

She attacked left and right. Sometimes with her fist, sometimes with her legs.

Tang Xinyang feinted a few jabs then whirled out a heavy kick, but all of them were deflected by William. Then using the rebound force after her kick was deflected, she tilted her body around to land her pointed elbow to his chest.

William deflected with his arms sideways to outbalance the opponent. Tang Xinyang landed with her readied hands propped on the floor, instantly pushed her arms back, and her lower body rose up with qigong to kick away William's incoming blow, before completing the backflip into a standing position.

The onslaught of attacks and defensive movements continued for a long time.

The crowd kept cheering loudly.

Soon, to avoid getting overpowered by Tang Xinyang's ruthless and strong attacks, William finally went on offensive at times. His attacks were the opposite of Tang Xinyang's. If Tang Xinyang's attack was like a torrential rain, William's attack was like a clap of thunder that would set off suddenly once in a while, but with strong force.

The battle went on for another ten minutes.

The crowd was filled with experts. They could see the fast blows and commented in awe.

But despite their sighs of awe, Tang Xinyang was not satisfied. She somersaulted to distance herself again.

She frowned as she stared at the tall blond-haired man in front of her.

"Senior, aren't you taking me a bit too lightly?"

William put down his arms. His two arms were tingling. 

"I am not. "

"If you aren't, then why aren't you moving from the radius of your position since ten minutes ago? Don't you plan to attack me and win this fight?"

William: "..."

Shoot. He forgot this habit of his.

When William was fighting, he was always undefeatable that it was no longer fun to battle with others anymore. His matches were always quick and ruthless. Many people pointed their fingers at him and told him that it was not a duel at all but a one-sided massacre, because the matches were so quick that they usually did not even last for three minutes.

So he made such a rule for himself.

He would only stay in one place, maintaining a position within a leg radius of his initial center. With this, the fight would be prolonged and the people who fought him as well as the audience would not feel disgruntled anymore.

And he accidentally carried the habit here...

William scratched his head. "I deeply apologize. I have no intention to offend you. It is just a habit of mine." 

He did not know that his words only fueled the flames of fighting spirit in Tang Xinyang stronger.

William was about to move from his position when Tang Xinyang spoke.

"Senior, you don't have to move." Tang Xinyang's bright eyes were ablaze. "Because I will make you."

She smiled and massaged her knuckles. The tingle had faded already.

She felt truly excited.

William was stunned by the infecting enthusiasm and confidence in Tang Xinyang. She was like a bright ball of optimism and energy, with the purest love for sportsmanship.

She would make him move...?

Only a few people had made William move away from his position when he fought, and no one had ever moved him completely. 

Not even his instructor had managed to make him use both of his feet and arms. 

William stared at Tang Xinyang for a while. For some reason, his heart thumped. An exhilarating feeling filled William.

How long has it been?

A sincere smile formed on his lips as his blue eyes twinkled. He swept back his blonde hair and answered the woman in front of him. "Alright. Make me."

Bang!

Tang Xinyang's qigong-infused feet jumped forward so fast that some experts could not follow her shadow.

"Wha-!"

"So fast!"

"Where is she?!"

"At his back!"

Tang Xinyang appeared on William's back, her leg raised in preparation of a kick.

William slightly turned his body and blocked her explosive leg with his arm.

Bang!

Tang Xinyang did not stop there.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Consecutive blows hit William's raised arms as they exchanged blows for another period of time, surrounded by the cheering crowd.

Because her fists and legs were filled with qigong, after some time, William's shirt had tears in various places. Sweats appeared on his body. He was pressured by the continuous attack of Tang Xinyang.

After a forceful jab to his face, which William blocked in time, Tang Xinyang took advantage of the blind spot and instantly twisted her waist to bring her knee upwards. The man was able to follow with another block, but was not able to position his right foot on time and moved a step backwards due to the force.

William's brows moved up and he asked with a smile, "You just made me move, are you satisfied?" 

Bang! Bang!

"Not yet, senior. Your left foot is still not moving away from its position!"

This insatiable girl! 

William grinned. "You really plan to make me completely move, ah?"

"Of course! I won't finish this fight until I make your left foot move as well!"

Bang! Bang!

Their blows were getting stronger and more forceful, letting out strong gusts of wind that swept past the crowd due to the collision of qigong.

"Waah!"

The crowd could not comment about their movements anymore and just watched on with wide eyes and open mouths. 

No one dared to blink! They were afraid to miss a single moment of this fight!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The fight was so intense that William could feel the pressure from Tang Xinyang's continuous attack. 

Her whole body was using qigong now. Even William had to protect his whole body with qigong, or else he would be injured.

William's attacks were also becoming very frequent. He was hit by Tang Xinyang many times that he had no choice but resort to strong offense.

Offense was the best defense.

Tang Xinyang's eyes were very focused and bright, and on her lips was a devilish grin while fighting. Her sweat-drenched hair locks flew in the air. Her crystal-like sweat traveled on her cheeks to her neck.

How exhilarating...!

She was hit many times as well but it did not bother her. All the more, it made her excited and more fueled with vigor!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sounds of their blows filled the hall, followed by 'ooooh's and'wow's of amazement.

William was amazed by Tang Xinyang's long endurance. She had been forceful from the very beginning until now yet there was no sign of her energy draining at all. Furthermore, she was actually getting stronger.

This woman... was a monster!

William grinned.

He was afraid of hitting her first, but if he did not attack this woman would not likely accept his defeat.

Slowly, unconsciously, William's attack was finally showing its true strength. 

Tang Xinyang winced a couple of times, but the maniac grin on her face just got wider!

William's fighting spirit that had been in slumber for a long time now suddenly opened its eyes.

His blue eyes seemed to burn with blue flames. 

He wanted to subdue this monster in front of him.

He wanted to defeat her and have her acknowledge him as the king.

William's battle spirit was invoked to his body unconsciously. Faced with Tang Xinyang's pressure and rain of attacks, he moved back and raised his left foot. 

One of his favorite moves to give a heavy blow to his opponent, a crescent kick!

Bang!

Tang Xinyang was flung away by his kick.

The crowd gasped in shock at the sudden attack.

That was really unexpected!

After somersaulting in the air and landing on her feet just before hitting the elastic railing of the ring, Tang Xinyang stood up wobbly while wiping the blood on her lips. 

Jang Shin who was watching the fight had his eyes widen.

"Xinyang!"
