Chapter 111 【I Dare to Risk My Life, You Don’t!】

With the referee's announcement, the match officially began. *Whoosh!*

Both Ling Wei and Park Ji-sung were very experienced. They did not immediately attack but instead kept moving, eyes locked, searching for an opening.

"I can let you strike first, otherwise you will lose the chance to attack," Park Ji-sung spoke, his voice icy.

Ling Wei frowned slightly, focusing all his attention on his opponent while calmly saying, "No need!"

"Good!"

A cold, mocking smile formed at the corner of Park Ji-sung's mouth. Then he pushed off with his right foot, pivoted on his left, and launched a straight, powerful side kick to the upper right front.

This was a textbook side kick!

Although Park Ji-sung struck Ling Wei as cold and arrogant, Ling Wei had to admit the guy's fighting skills were indeed good. His very first move showed solid foundation; this side kick was perfect in both speed and power!

If it were Ling Wei from a month ago, facing such a fierce side kick, he would have panicked.

But after Gu Feng's guidance and daily sparring sessions with Xu Qiang, Ling Wei's reaction speed and mentality had improved significantly.

As Park Ji-sung attacked, Ling Wei had already anticipated the move and dodged with time to spare, easily avoiding it.

Seeing Ling Wei dodge the sweep so easily, Park Ji-sung's eyes flashed with surprise, but his movements didn't stop. He immediately followed up with a powerful low sweep aimed at Ling Wei's legs.

Ling Wei sprang up from his position, simultaneously torquing his body in mid-air to whip a fierce roundhouse kick in retaliation!

Park Ji-sung's two moves had missed. He had intended to press his advantage and suppress Ling Wei with attacks, but seeing Ling Wei's powerful roundhouse kick, he had no choice but to raise both arms to block.

"Thud!"

Ling Wei's foot struck Park Ji-sung's arms with a dull thud.

The audience, seeing Park Ji-sung attack right from the start, went quiet for a moment. Now, witnessing Ling Wei counterattack, they erupted into a huge cheer!

On the coaching bench, Gu Feng slightly furrowed his brows.

That Park Ji-sung struck him as formidable. Although Ling Wei's kick had the effect of shifting the momentum, it was too reckless. Throwing a roundhouse kick mid-air, while powerful, would leave a significant defensive gap if blocked.

While Gu Feng was worried, on the field, Park Ji-sung immediately spotted Ling Wei's defensive gap. Before Ling Wei could land, he lunged forward, quickly closing in. He launched into an axe kick, driving his heel down from above like a falling axe.

This was one of the more threatening attacks in Taekwondo!

Seeing Park Ji-sung find the opening and execute this move, Gu Feng jolted with alarm. If Ling Wei got hit, he'd be in serious trouble!

With Gu Feng worried, Ling Wei, still in mid-air, quickly extended both arms, blocking in front of his head.

"Thud!"

Park Ji-sung's leg viciously chopped down onto Ling Wei's arms. Ling Wei felt a burning pain shoot through them, the immense force knocking him to the ground.

At the same time, Park Ji-sung gave Ling Wei no chance to get up. Like a nimble cat, he quickly pounced forward.

Ling Wei sprang back to his feet in one fluid motion. Seeing his opponent's push kick coming, he hurriedly raised his arms to block again.

"Thud!"

Ling Wei was kicked back several steps by Park Ji-sung, crashing into the elastic guardrail at the edge of the ring. The guardrail bounced him back. At that moment, Park Ji-sung's second push kick arrived!

Ling Wei's pupils contracted sharply. Using the rebound force from the guardrail, he suddenly launched himself skyward!

Ling Wei's move not only surprised Park Ji-sung but also slightly astonished Gu Feng below the ring!

Gu Feng had been worried that if Ling Wei didn't find a way out soon, being cornered by Park Ji-sung would be trouble. But now, Ling Wei's flash of inspiration proved effective. After leaping, his body flew horizontally, grazing past Park Ji-sung's leg and crashing into Park Ji-sung's body.

The powerful impact directly knocked Park Ji-sung down. He instinctively swung his right elbow, aiming to smash Ling Wei's head!

Ling Wei, after falling, didn't even try to dodge. Instead, he clenched his fist and aimed a punch at Park Ji-sung's temple!

Having sparred with Xu Qiang constantly, Ling Wei had learned Xu Qiang's all-out fighting style. He risked a fierce elbow strike to attack the temple. This way, he'd likely survive where his opponent wouldn't, because an elbow strike might not kill him, whereas his punch would definitely kill Park Ji-sung!

The temple is a vital pressure point; a powerful attack there can cause death, something Ling Wei understood better than anyone.

Li Dongguo had told Park Ji-sung to win and cripple Ling Wei, but Gu Feng hadn't given Ling Wei specific instructions.

At this moment, Ling Wei wasn't there to test his martial arts; he was there to kill!

Although Park Ji-sung appeared cold, he wasn't nearly as ready to die in the fight. Seeing Ling Wei ready to risk his life, panic flashed across his face, and he instinctively rolled aside!

Park Ji-sung's roll gave Ling Wei an opening. Ling Wei instantly retracted his fist and quickly lunged at Park Ji-sung.

In panic, Park Ji-sung lashed out with a desperate kick, trying to block Ling Wei and buy time to stand.

But Ling Wei had already anticipated this. As he charged, he shifted slightly, easily dodging the kick.

In an instant, Ling Wei was upon Park Ji-sung again, his elbow viciously crashing into Park Ji-sung's chest!

"Crack!"

The sound of bone breaking was piercing. Taking the blow, Park Ji-sung's body arched violently, his face instantly turning as pale as paper. At the same time, he instinctively drove his knee into Ling Wei's body.

However, due to the heavy blow, this attack was much weaker than before.

Ling Wei brushed off the weak attack. After the elbow strike, a powerful left hook smashed squarely into Park Ji-sung's face.

"Thud!"

Park Ji-sung felt his head spin, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Mixed in were several teeth, which hit the ground with a sickening clatter.

Ling Wei was also sent flying by the knee strike. He felt a piercing pain but quickly got back up.

Seeing Ling Wei, eyes red and breathing heavily, about to charge again, the referee grabbed him and started loudly counting: "1, 2, 3..."

Hearing the count, Park Ji-sung desperately wanted to rise. But his ribs were broken, and his face was battered. He simply didn't have the strength.

When the referee reached ten, he grabbed Ling Wei's hand and raised it high, announcing, "First match, Ling Wei wins!"

"Ling Wei, you're awesome!"

"Great fight! Ling Wei, you're a real man!"

Hearing the result, the audience erupted in cheers. The tidal wave of shouts made Li Dongguo's expression extremely ugly.

Li Dongguo watched his student being carried down and coldly said to the next contestant, Bai Jianping, "Bai Jianping, hold nothing back in the next match. I'll take full responsibility for any consequences!"

Bai Jianping, seeing his companion injured, was already furious. Hearing the instruction, he said solemnly, "Yes, teacher!"

"I will definitely kill the guy in the third match!" Meanwhile, Jin Zhengwei also heard Li Dongguo's words. Among the three, his skills were the strongest. At this moment, he harbored intense killing intent.

As a young master of South Korea's Kim family, he didn't believe killing someone in a fight would have much impact on his future prospects.

While Li Dongguo was instructing his student, Ling Wei returned to Gu Feng's side wearing a victorious smile.

"Well done." Gu Feng praised Ling Wei with a smile, then asked with concern, "Is your waist alright?"

"It's fine, Teacher Gu, no need to worry." Ling Wei shook his head with a smile.

Hearing this, Gu Feng breathed a slight sigh of relief, then pondered briefly before saying to Zheng Jian, "Zheng Jian, the next match will be very dangerous. Brace yourself."

Since being won over by Gu Feng's strength, Zheng Jian had held great respect for him. Hearing Gu Feng's words, he nodded seriously and said, "Teacher Gu, I'm prepared."

"In the next match, the opponent will definitely be eager to attack to avenge their teammate." Gu Feng spoke word by word, "Remember, absolutely do not engage in a head-on clash with them. Instead, dodge!"

"Teacher, I..." Zheng Jian tried to argue.

"Quiet!" Gu Feng showed his stern side, "True combat isn't about how brutal the process is, but about the outcome. Even if you spend ninety percent of the match dodging, if you achieve victory in the end, you are the winner!"

"Persistent dodging isn't shameful. By not engaging with your opponent, you'll anger them quickly. Once they're angry, you'll have your chance. When the time comes, seize the opportunity and aim for a one-hit victory!"

After speaking, Gu Feng looked at Zheng Jian seriously, waiting for his response.

"Understood, Teacher Gu." Zheng Jian nodded solemnly.

At this, Gu Feng couldn't help but sigh in relief. At the same time, he suddenly realized he was being targeted by a cold gaze.

Gu Feng frowned slightly and instinctively looked toward the source of the gaze. In the distance, Li Dongguo was staring fixedly at him, his eyes filled with intense killing intent.

If you want to play with fire, I don't mind sending you to meet the King of Hell!

Gu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, then sat back down in his seat. P.S.: Three VIP chapters, total word count over ten thousand. Friends with monthly votes, please support, thank you!
