Chapter 780: Chapter 780

Wang Zixuan opened Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Regret," a poem Zhao Longfei greatly admired.

He looked at Lin Chen with pride and said lightly, "I'll recite it first!"

Lin Chen nodded and gestured for him to proceed.

Zhao Longfei held a fan in his hand, assuming the appearance of a poet.

The Han emperor, obsessed with love, thought to overturn the realm, yet for many years he could not achieve it.

The Yang family had a daughter who had just come of age, raised in the deep chambers unseen by others.

As Zhao Longfei recited the poem, his gaze remained fixed on Wang Zixuan.

Though his expression was cultured, his eyes carried a sleazy look.

"In heaven, we'd wish to be birds of a feather; on earth, we'd wish to be branches intertwined.

Heaven and earth will sometime end, but this regret is endless and forever."

Zhao Longfei effortlessly finished reciting the "Song of Everlasting Regret."

Everyone present was amazed, knowing that Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Regret" was not only lengthy but also rhythmically complex, making it extremely difficult to memorize.

Zhao Longfei snorted coldly, "It's your turn, kid. Do you need to look at the book to review first?" Zhao Longfei sneered.

Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Thank you, but I've known this poem since I was three."

As Lin Chen began to recite under everyone's watchful eyes, everyone was baffled as soon as he opened his mouth.

This enduring regret has no end, time will someday cease, the earth and heavens long.

As branches intertwined we wish to be on earth, as birds of a feather we wish in heaven."

Listening to Lin Chen's recitation, everyone was stunned, "What is this? It makes no sense at all!"

Zhao Longfei couldn't help but sneer, "Lin Chen, to know what you know and to not know what you don't. Since you don't know it, don't pretend to be something you're not."

"Ha ha, this is the Song of Everlasting Regret? I think it's just your own nonsense!" Several others laughed derisively.

However, Wang Zixuan, who held the book, was astounded, and she said in disbelief, "Lin Chen is reciting the 'Song of Everlasting Regret' backwards."

"What? Reciting it backwards?" Hearing Wang Zixuan's words, everyone was shocked.

They took out their phones and compared, and suddenly everyone was stunned; he was indeed reciting it backwards.

What it meant to truly know something by heart, they now understood.

Zhao Longfei's face turned as red as a liver. Although he had a strong memory, mastering anything backwards was simply impossible for him.

Finally, Lin Chen finished reciting the "Song of Everlasting Regret" backwards, and the onlookers fell silent.

Everyone looked at Lin Chen as if he were a monster, "To be able to recite the 'Song of Everlasting Regret' backwards, this guy is absolutely a freak!"

Lin Chen looked at Zhao Longfei's dumbfounded face and said, "Alright, if you can also recite it backwards, then we can call it even."

"This—" Zhao Longfei's expression grew even uglier.

Having him recite it forward was something he could do perfectly, but backwards was an impossible task.

Seeing Zhao Longfei's expression, Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Can't recite it, can you? Then keep your distance from my girlfriend in the future."

"You!" Zhao Longfei had not expected to lose to Lin Chen with his photographic memory.

He clenched his teeth and said, "Wait a moment, although I lost the literary duel, there's still the martial duel."

Hearing Lin Chen's words, the crowd burst into an uproar, "How shameless can this guy get? He was the one who chose the literary duel just now."

Wang Zixuan snorted coldly, "Zhao Longfei, are you even a man who can't afford to lose? You clearly just lost, and there's no reason for further combat."

"It was Lin Chen who talked about literary and martial arts challenges; the last one was just the first round," Zhao Longfei argued.

Lin Chen looked at Zhao Longfei and smiled coldly, "Fine, if you want a martial arts duel, I'm up for it. But it will be boring just to compete . Let's make a bet. If I lose, I'll give you my Mercedes. If you lose, you give me the Lamborghini behind you."

The crowd around them was stunned. This guy was shameless; his Mercedes was barely a million, while that limited edition Lamborghini was worth tens of millions.

Seeing Zhao Longfei's hesitant look, Lin Chen smiled lightly, "Don't think you're at a loss. If I lose, in addition to losing a Mercedes, I will also have to give you my girlfriend; I believe Zixuan is priceless."

Although Lin Chen used himself and his girlfriend as the stakes, Wang Zixuan wasn't angry at all, as she had witnessed Lin Chen's strength. Wrestling with Lin Chen was simply suicidal.

Zhao Longfei gritted his teeth, desire finally overcoming reason, and said earnestly, "Alright, let's bet."

Hearing the two were going to compete in martial arts, the spectators around shook their heads silently. Zhao Longfei had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, had been crowned youth martial arts champion of Huaxia University, and could easily take on ten people alone.

Everyone looked at Lin Chen's body, hardly believing he practiced martial arts.

The two came to the center of the basketball court and assumed their fighting stances.

Zhao Longfei immediately showcased the Bagua Palm.

Watching his stance, continuous cheers came from the crowd.

"Looks like Zhao Longfei is out to seriously hurt this guy, starting with the Bagua Palm right away."

"How many moves do you think Lin Chen will last?"

"I think Lin Chen will definitely be down within three moves!"

Hearing the crowd's remarks, Wang Zixuan smiled lightly, "I bet that Zhao Longfei will be knocked down by Lin Chen in one move!"

Several people turned their heads to see that the speaker was their goddess, Wang Zixuan.

Wang Zixuan gave a sly smile, "Would you dare to bet with me? If you win, I'll treat you to dinner. If I win, you'll empty out the money in your pockets for me."

Upon hearing Wang Zixuan's words, delighted expressions appeared on their faces.

"Having dinner with Wang Zixuan is something to boast about for a lifetime."

In no time, more than ten boys had placed their bets, and the total amount was now over two thousand.

At that moment on the field, Zhao Longfei said coldly with a murderous look, "Boy, the stupidest thing you did was to become Wang Zixuan's boyfriend. Today, I'm going to show Zixuan who is more manly. I want her to know that only I deserve her."

Hearing Zhao Longfei's words, Lin Chen felt an urge to vomit, "Let's fight, stop disgusting people, please."

"Seeking death!" As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Longfei dashed towards Lin Chen and struck towards Lin Chen's chest with a palm strike.

Zhao Longfei's palm strike was powerful and heavy, it felt as if the air around was being torn apart.

Lin Chen, however, didn't dodge or avoid, just staring as Zhao Longfei's palm moved towards his chest.

A gleeful look appeared in Zhao Longfei's eyes; he couldn't believe Lin Chen was being so foolish.

His Bagua Palm could split a stone in two, and this strike would probably leave Lin Chen bedridden for half a year.

His palm struck out, but though he felt it should have hit Lin Chen, it felt as light as if he had hit air.

When he came to his senses, his expression suddenly changed because Lin Chen had disappeared from in front of him.

"Young Master Zhao, be careful, he's behind you!" a young man who had bet all his pocket money on Wang Zixuan shouted anxiously.

But his warning was already too late. Lin Chen had kicked out, landing a blow directly on Zhao Longfei's butt.
