Chapter 574: Chapter 574
Ba Li snorted coldly, clenched his fists, and twisted his neck, which actually made a cracking sound. He looked at Lin Chen with a mocking smile on his face.
"What, you don't believe I could kick you till you cry?" Lin Chen said, unconcerned.
"What did you just say, you can kick me until I cry?" Ba Li laughed loudly as if he heard something hilarious.
"Kid, you're asking for death." A cold glint flickered in Ba Li's eyes.
You see, Ba Li is a grandmaster of Taekwondo, and Lin Chen's words were nothing short of a naked humiliation to him.
As a Taekwondo champion who truly fought his way to the top, Ba Li thought that someone like Lin Chen, with his small frame, would probably be disabled with just one kick.
"Enough with the nonsense, do you dare to fight or not? If you don't dare, just get lost. I'm really busy," Lin Chen said coldly.
"Good, good, kid, if I don't kick you into submission today, you can call me your grandpa," Ba Li said, cracking his knuckles as he slowly approached Lin Chen.
"Maybe we should just forget it, Lin Chen!" Wei Ling said, worried, tugging at the hem of Lin Chen's clothes.
Lin Chen patted Wei Ling's shoulder: "Don't worry, Sister Ling, I don't even take this trash seriously."
Wei Ling was momentarily stunned by the confidence in Lin Chen's eyes, then nodded: "Be careful."
All eyes were now fixed on the two figures in the middle of the dance floor.
"This kid is gonna get thrashed bloody!"
"The god Ba will crush this China dog, show him the power of our Thai boxing," the crowd exclaimed amid waves of jeers and cheers.
Many had only ever seen the championship fights of Thai boxing on television, and were thrilled to witness the performance of a Thai boxing master up close today.
However, all spectators thought it would be a one-sided match.
Lin Chen looked too frail, nothing like a fighting ace.
On the contrary, Ba Li's body was muscular and his physique perfect; the two were completely on different levels.
Lin Chen sauntered into the center of the dance floor, smiling faintly: "Come on, kiddo!"
At that moment Wei Ling quietly held Lin Chen's arm and whispered, "Lin Chen, this guy is a Thai boxing champion, you have to be careful. If you can't beat him, don't push yourself too hard."
"Why do you have so little faith in me, Sister Ling? Anyway, what's my reward if I beat him?" Lin Chen teased.
"If you win, you can have anything, even rolling in the sheets," Wei Ling replied with a playful laugh.
Lin Chen was momentarily lost for words, instantly invigorated.
"Don't worry, Sister Ling, to roll in the sheets with you, I'll even make this guy cry," Lin Chen said with full confidence.
Watching their flirtatious exchange, Ba Li's face grew colder and colder. He was the Thai boxing champion, what was Lin Chen compared to him?
In terms of physique, looks, or status, he was superior to Lin Chen in every way; yet, why had Wei Ling chosen him instead?
Ba Li stared coldly at Lin Chen, smacked his fists together, and with a face full of arrogance said, "Kid, I'll give you another chance to admit defeat, otherwise you will regret your stupidity today."
Contempt was written all over his face; defeating Lin Chen would take but moments. He wanted to crush Lin Chen like a bug, proving to Wei Ling that he was the man worth choosing.
"Idiot!" Lin Chen scornfully flipped off Bari with his middle finger.
Watching the disdain on Lin Chen's face, Bari's expression grew darker and darker. He glared venomously at Lin Chen and whispered, "Kid, blame yourself for taking my woman as your girlfriend. You're going to spend the rest of your life in bed!"
As soon as the words fell, Bari's body shot out like lightning. When he was just one meter away from Lin Chen, he suddenly leaped up and delivered a fierce kick at Lin Chen's chest.
"So vicious!" A cry of alarm sounded from the crowd.
Everyone felt a cold sweat for Lin Chen; if that kick landed on him, he wouldn't die, but all his ribs might shatter.
Lin Chen simply stood there with a smile, hands clasped behind his back, not even trying to dodge.
Just as Bari's heavy punch was about to hit Lin Chen, Wei Ling's face suddenly turned ugly, her heart almost leaping out of her chest.
Now she deeply regretted letting Lin Chen fight Bari. If something happened to Lin Chen, how could she ever face him or explain it to Xu Jiayi.
A sinister smile curled on Bari's face. Although he had always been sure that Lin Chen could not stand against him, he was still cautious with his kick. But now his foot was about to hit the target, and Lin Chen still had no reaction, confirming one thing: he was a novice.
Assured of Lin Chen's ability, Bari held no further reservations; there was only one thing he wanted to do, and that was to cripple Lin Chen.
However, dreams are often full, yet reality is skeleton-thin.
Just as Bari's foot was about to land on Lin Chen's chest, the bloody scene he imagined did not occur. Lin Chen's body shifted slightly to the side, and Bari's powerful kick missed, brushing past Lin Chen's body.
Bari's speed was too fast just now, and nearly all of his body weight was on his upper body. Stumbling a bit as he landed, he suddenly felt a gust of wind behind him.
"Not good!" Bari's face turned ashen with horror, suddenly remembering that his back was to Lin Chen, he spun around only to hear a cold voice say, "I told you, I'd make you cry."
As the words fell, Lin Chen's lightning-fast kick had already landed on Bari's backside.
Though Lin Chen did not use his full strength in the kick, it nonetheless landed on the softest part of the coccyx.
Bari, already leaning forward, was sent flying by Lin Chen's kick, and then he landed heavily on the ground in a perfect faceplant.
After a painful groan on the ground, Bari finally raised his head.
At this moment, Bari's face was actually covered with tears, which flew in the wind and couldn't be stopped.
It wasn't that Bari was weak-willed; it simply hurt too much. Now, he looked like a frog lying on the ground, butt in the air, body trembling – a sight ungainly beyond words, a complete contrast to his former boxing champion's swagger.
Looking at Bari lying on the ground, the whole place fell silent.
"How is this possible? Truly beaten with a single kick!"
Before the exchange, everyone thought it was going to be an uneven match. But while they might have guessed the beginning correctly, they certainly did not foresee the end.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, their mouths could easily fit a duck egg.
The Muay Thai champion Bari was truly brought to tears by a single kick from a young man.
Those who had just mocked Lin Chen were now silent, the most absurd joke in their eyes had become reality.
Ah Jiao's face turned exceptionally ugly as she couldn't understand how the once dominant Muay Thai master from T-country could be so embarrassingly defeated.
Wei Ling finally let out a sigh of relief, her eyes filled with astonishment as she looked at Lin Chen.
Where on earth did Xu Jiayi find such a monster? And, remembering what she had just promised Lin Chen about rolling in the sheets, Wei Ling's face suddenly flushed.
