C174 Kicking Battle Sorry You Lost

"Lin Dong actually accepted Eldest Brother's challenge. Has he lost his mind?"

"Eldest Brother is a ninth-degree black belt in Taekwondo. Going up against him is practically a death wish."

"Let's just enjoy the drama. I'm betting two hundred bucks that Lin Dong doesn't stand a chance!"

"Dude! That's not a sure win!"

The onlookers at the Martial Arts Club murmured among themselves.

Nobody had much faith in Lin Dong.

Lin Dong overheard the comments from the crowd but remained unfazed.

He didn't give much thought to the discussions of the Martial Arts Club members.

He was confident in himself.

Eldest Brother, standing across from him, had a slight smirk on his face, exuding confidence and control.

As a Taekwondo master with a ninth-degree black belt, he was a top-tier fighter in the Martial Arts Club, much like Zhang Meng.

Even if a dozen opponents attacked at once, they wouldn't be a match for him!

Years of Taekwondo practice had given Eldest Brother formidable strength.

With just one palm strike, he could bend even an iron plate!

Lin Dong, looking frail, had accepted his challenge. Eldest Brother was ready to teach him a harsh lesson.

He had been the respected Eldest Brother at the Martial Arts Club for many years, accustomed to adulation and flattery.

However, Lin Dong's indifferent demeanor and the subtle challenge in his gaze had irked Eldest Brother.

Now, with Lin Dong accepting his challenge, Eldest Brother was eager to release his pent-up frustration.

Zhang Meng, along with Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi, stood by Eldest Brother, grinning broadly.

They had been bested by Lin Dong, each sustaining injuries.

Zhang Meng had taken the worst of it, with a broken jawbone!

He should have sought medical attention, but the prospect of seeing Lin Dong disciplined by Eldest Brother kept him rooted to the spot, cradling his jaw as he watched intently.

He rubbed his hands together eagerly, anticipation gleaming in his eyes. He knew full well the formidable combat strength of Eldest Brother.

A steel plate two fingers thick had been bent at a right angle by a single chop of his hand.

Such force, if applied to a person, would snap bones instantly!

Lin Dong was oblivious to the backstory and was sure to take a beating.

Zhang Meng had become intensely jealous of Lin Dong due to Yang Zitan's affectionate behavior towards him.

When Zhang Meng had challenged Lin Dong, he ended up with a broken jaw and excruciating pain!

His resentment towards Lin Dong was overflowing.

But his initial confrontation with Lin Dong left him severely injured, and his close friends were no match for Lin Dong either.

Now, fortune had smiled upon him, as he had successfully convinced Eldest Brother to confront Lin Dong—a perfect opportunity!

Zhang Meng would take great pleasure in seeing Lin Dong disciplined!

Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi shared this sentiment.

They all longed to see Lin Dong beaten to the point of coughing up blood or even suffering broken bones!

With everyone's eyes on him, Eldest Brother stepped into the training area.

Zhang Meng, Little Five, and Little Seven smartly cleared out of the combat zone to avoid any accidental harm from Eldest Brother's powerful strikes.

"Lin Dong, there's still time to concede. All you need to do is apologize to Zhang Meng and the others," Eldest Brother said, assuming a starting stance.

It was as though he believed offering Lin Dong the chance to apologize to Zhang Meng was a generous favor.

"I'm not one to bow down. If you want to fight, let's fight—no more talking," Lin Dong responded, his demeanor unflappable.

He appeared utterly unfazed, despite facing a ninth-degree black belt in Taekwondo.

Eldest Brother's face hardened.

He had intended to give Lin Dong a chance, but Lin Dong's lack of appreciation left him no choice but to proceed.

With a sharp cry, he launched into a sprint, executing his most powerful technique—the Wind Breaking Kick!

His legs whirled through the air, delivering a forceful, unstoppable assault.

This was a move Eldest Brother had perfected over many years of dedicated practice.

Frustrated by Lin Dong's apparent ignorance and arrogance, he was determined to defeat him in one fell swoop, to teach him that there's always a bigger fish in the sea.

The powerful silhouette of a leg spinning through the air elicited gasps from the onlookers.

"Oh my, Eldest Brother has unleashed his most powerful technique, the Wind Breaking Kick!"

"The Wind Breaking Kick is Eldest Brother's signature move! He once consecutively defeated five challengers with it!"

"I never imagined I'd get to see Eldest Brother execute such a formidable attack in my lifetime. It's truly exhilarating!"

"With the Wind Breaking Kick coming at him, Lin Dong is a goner!"

The crowd was overwhelmingly in favor of Eldest Brother!

Zhang Meng, along with Little Five and Little Seven, were visibly thrilled.

They, too, witnessed Eldest Brother perform the Wind Breaking Kick.

This move was the hallmark of Eldest Brother, a signature finisher!

The Wind Breaking Kick required a powerful engagement of the waist muscles, triggering the leg muscles to unleash a devastating burst of force in a swift kick!

Zhang Meng, a seasoned member of the Martial Arts Club, had the privilege of seeing Eldest Brother train with the Wind Breaking Kick, shattering a massive sandbag with a single blow.

And that was just during practice.

In a real fight, the power unleashed was even more intense!

Zhang Meng's gaze shifted to Lin Dong, who stood motionless.

Confronted with Eldest Brother's Wind Breaking Kick, he showed no sign of defense.

It looked as though he was petrified with fear!

Zhang Meng couldn't help but sneer internally. Lin Dong had been so cocky earlier, but now he was clearly outmatched by Eldest Brother!

Once Lin Dong was defeated, Zhang Meng planned to stand before him, demanding a bow and an apology, teaching him the value of humility.

The thought of Lin Dong beaten and kneeling on the ground filled Zhang Meng with glee.

Eldest Brother, continuing to unleash kicks in mid-air, also noticed Lin Dong's demeanor. He had initially thought Lin Dong was quite formidable after seeing him take down Zhang Meng and Little Five and Little Seven.

Yet, when he launched his attack, Lin Dong just stood there, seemingly stunned.

What's going on here?

Was he being ignored, or had he resigned himself to his fate?

Eldest Brother couldn't help but find the situation amusing. He realized he had given Lin Dong too much credit by using his strongest move against him.

Had he known, a simple basic attack would have sufficed.

As Eldest Brother's thoughts settled, Lin Dong abruptly lifted his head.

A smile played at the corners of his mouth.

Their gazes locked, and a sharp glint shot from Lin Dong's eyes straight into Eldest Brother's.

A sense of foreboding suddenly gripped Eldest Brother's heart.

Swoosh!

Lin Dong made his move.

His previously motionless legs sprang into action, propelling him toward where Eldest Brother had landed.

With momentum on his side, Lin Dong leaped into the air and delivered a flying kick, mirroring Eldest Brother's Wind Breaking Kick to perfection!

Eldest Brother was taken aback for a moment, but as their kicks collided, he remained composed.

His Wind Breaking Leg technique was the result of meticulous training to control specific muscle groups in his legs, allowing him to unleash explosive power.

Lin Dong might have had decent jumping skills, but surely he couldn't manipulate his leg muscles with the same precision. Surely Lin Dong's legs would break upon impact!

Crack!

A faint snapping sound echoed.

Eldest Brother's calf seared with pain, and he crumpled to the ground.

Landing hard, he knelt, clutching his calf and howling in agony.

He had been struck with a devastating blow.

Lin Dong, on the other hand, landed gracefully and was unscathed.

While Eldest Brother had trained to control certain muscle groups in his legs, Lin Dong, having been endowed with a System skill, had mastery over all the muscles in his legs!

His leg strength was more focused, his control more agile.

In the clash with Eldest Brother's Wind Breaking Kick, Lin Dong's leg strength utterly overpowered him, securing a decisive advantage!

Looking down at Eldest Brother, now kneeling and crying out in pain, Lin Dong offered a cool smile and said, "My apologies, you've been defeated."
