Chapter 364 Holy crap, what kind of monster is this newcomer?
The few members who were originally scattered in the training hall became instantly excited when they heard that the vice president, Tang Hao, was going to "spar" with Ye Fan, the top student who had just joined the club. They all rushed to the edge of the ring.
Some people simply sat on the ground, some crossed their arms and leaned against the sandbag rack, and others pulled out sunflower seeds from somewhere and started cracking them open.
It's in the nature of the Chinese to enjoy watching a good show, especially a free "spectacle"!
It's rare to see a club president personally "instructing" a newcomer, especially when the opponent is Ye Fan, who is currently in the spotlight and has the halo of being a "top scorer in the college entrance examination"!
This melon's appeal has doubled!
A dozen pairs of eyes surrounded the arena, their gazes a mixture of excitement, curiosity, and anticipation for a good show.
However, almost everyone's face showed the same judgment: the result was a foregone conclusion.
"President Tang's fists are strong enough to shake a sandbag, and although this top scholar Ye Fan looks strong, his skin looks delicate and smooth..."
"If Ye Fan can withstand three rounds, then he's really awesome!"
"I think it's unlikely. Tom Cruise will probably take him down in one move. After all, he can't really go all out against the top scorer, can he?"
A buzz of discussion arose, filled with skepticism and disapproval of Ye Fan's "goodwill."
On the ring, Tang Hao handed Ye Fan a clean pair of boxing gloves, then put them on himself with practiced ease, his knuckles protruding clearly from the leather.
He looked at Ye Fan and asked again, "Are you sure you don't need to wear protective gear? Especially the groin protector and mouthguard?"
Ye Fan shook his head, moving his wrists to adjust to the tightness of the boxing gloves: "No need, it's fine like this."
"Alright! Then you'd better watch out!" Tang Hao grinned, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit. He slammed his fists together in front of his chest, producing a dull thud, exuding an imposing aura.
He assumed a fighting stance, lowered his center of gravity, and fixed his gaze firmly on Ye Fan.
Ye Fan also assumed a basic but steady stance, intently observing Tang Hao.
The atmosphere instantly tensed up!
Tang Hao was the first to strike!
Without any fancy moves, a powerful right straight punch, like a cannonball, tore through the air and made a clear whooshing sound, aimed straight at Ye Fan's face!
It was incredibly fast and powerful! The onlookers felt a chill run down their spines.
Ye Fan did not launch a rash counterattack, but chose the safest option: defense.
He reacted extremely quickly, raising his arms in a lightning-fast cross to protect the front of his head, his forearm muscles tensing, and he managed to block the punch!
"Bang!"
Their fists clashed, producing a dull thud.
Ye Fan's upper body swayed slightly, but his feet remained completely still! Such immense strength!
He felt a chill run down his spine. The impact of that punch far exceeded that of an ordinary student. Tang Hao was definitely a trained martial artist who had put in a lot of hard work!
A hint of surprise and excitement flashed in Tang Hao's eyes.
Although Ye Fan's blocking action was simple, the timing was precise and his lower body was extremely stable. The punch that absorbed seven-tenths of his strength only made him sway.
This kid's got something! After the probing was over, he completely let loose!
The moment the straight punch was retracted, Tang Hao twisted his waist and hips violently, and his left fist, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, delivered a tricky and fierce left hook. With the force of rotation, it tore through the air and went straight for Ye Fan's unsuspecting ribs and soft abdomen!
If that punch landed, an ordinary person would immediately lose their breath and collapse to their knees!
Everyone thought Ye Fan would either fight back head-on or retreat in a sorry state.
However! Ye Fan made a move!
As if his feet were on wheels, he swiftly and smoothly glided to the side, narrowly avoiding the whistling hook that grazed his waist and abdomen! The speed and precision of his movement meant that Tang Hao's punch only hit air!
In that split second, Ye Fan launched his counterattack!
Taking advantage of the slight opening created by dodging to the side and the momentum of rotation, Ye Fan's right fist, like a long-dormant spring, suddenly blasted out from below along a short and explosive trajectory!
The target was precise—it was Tang Hao's abdomen, which was slightly leaning forward and wide open from throwing a powerful hook punch!
Fast! Accurate! Ruthless!
The uppercut was delivered with extremely concealed and sudden force, and its speed was so fast that Tang Hao had no time to make any effective defensive moves!
His pupils suddenly contracted, and he felt a dark shadow slam into his abdomen with irresistible force!
"Bang—!!!"
A muffled thud, much deeper than before, as if the air had been squeezed out of the abdomen, exploded on the ring!
Tang Hao's expression froze instantly, changing from fierce to extreme pain and disbelief!
He felt an overwhelming force explode from his abdomen, instantly shattering all his strength!
The excruciating pain caused his eyeballs to bulge out, and his body felt as if all the bones had been removed, leaving him unable to even utter a muffled groan!
Under the gaze of more than a dozen pairs of wide-eyed, trembling eyes below the stage, Tang Hao, the vice president who had been so imposing just moments before, suddenly collapsed like a felled giant tree. His knees buckled, his upper body hunched forward uncontrollably, and then—straight down without any cushioning—he crashed forward!
"Thump!"
The heavy body slammed onto the canvas of the ring, making a heart-stopping sound and even kicking up a cloud of dust.
He was curled up, clutching his abdomen tightly with both hands, his body convulsing violently and uncontrollably. Each spasm was accompanied by an uncontrollable whimper of pain, and his face turned ashen white instantly, with large beads of cold sweat rolling down his forehead and temples.
The entire training hall was deathly silent.
The commune member who was eating sunflower seeds had his mouth open, and the seeds fell all over the ground.
He stood frozen in place, arms crossed, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
The person sitting on the ground forgot to stand up, and their mouth could fit an egg.
The commotion and noise from just now seemed to be instantly extinguished by an invisible hand!
All that remained were Tang Hao's suppressed and painful gasps, and Ye Fan's calm figure on the stage as he slowly withdrew his fist and glanced down at his boxing gloves.
Time seemed to freeze for a few seconds.
"Holy shit... Holy crap!!!"
Someone, finally regaining their voice from the immense shock, let out a distorted scream that could have blown the roof off!
Immediately afterwards, the entire training hall exploded like a lit powder keg!
"One punch?! Just one punch?!"
"Holy crap... President Tang got... got knocked out?!"
"Top scholar?! Is this a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex?!"
"Did you guys see that punch just now?! It was so fast! So brutal!"
"My God... what kind of monster is this newcomer?"
Exclamations, gasps, and incredulous screams rose and fell, all eyes fixed on the tall figure on the stage, filled with horror, awe, and a tremendous shock that defied all understanding!
Ye Fan stood in the center of the arena, feeling the storm of gazes from below that seemed to ignite him, and then looked down at his clenched fists.
The power unleashed by that punch just now seemed to have exceeded his own expectations.
