Chapter 113 【Leave Your Life Here】

From a distance, Li Dongguo walked straight to the principal of San Yuan Middle School and said coldly, "For the next match, I will serve as the referee."

Hearing Li Dongguo's words, the principal of San Yuan Middle School paused briefly but quickly understood his intention.

Jin Zhengwei was the successor of the Jin family, and the previous match had been particularly brutal. If anything were to happen to Jin Zhengwei, Li Dongguo would have hell to pay when he returned!

Therefore, Li Dongguo planned to referee in an attempt to protect Jin Zhengwei.

If even Li Dongguo couldn't explain it, how could the principal of an elite school explain it to the Jin family?

No way!

After all, more than half of San Yuan Middle School's investment came from the Jin family.

Understanding this, the principal of San Yuan Middle School nodded with barely a moment's hesitation.

Seeing the principal's nod, Li Dongguo said nothing more and walked straight toward the ring. As for how to explain it to the staff and Xu Qin, that was the principal's problem and had nothing to do with him.

"Principal Xu, the next match will be refereed by the renowned South Korean Taekwondo master Li Dongguo. Do you have any objections?" the principal of San Yuan Middle School asked Xu Qin.

Xu Qin hesitated slightly, recalling Li Dongguo's reputation in South Korea. She assumed there was no trickery involved and therefore said nothing, just nodded. At the same time, she quickly muttered an instruction to her secretary beside her.

Upon hearing Xu Qin's words, the secretary immediately made her way over to the three judges at ringside to negotiate.

Minutes later, the three referees from the World Taekwondo Federation all agreed to the decision. Firstly, it was proposed by Xu Qin herself. Secondly, they couldn't afford to offend someone of Li Dongguo's stature.

Subsequently, to the puzzlement of the audience and Gu Feng and the others, Li Dongguo stepped into the ring.

"What is this guy trying to do?" Ling Wei muttered, stunned to see Li Dongguo step onto the stage.

Not only Ling Wei, but even Gu Feng was just as baffled. He suddenly had a bad feeling but couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.

At the same time, the audience started demanding to know why Li Dongguo had entered the ring.

Hearing the audience's inquiries, the host immediately grabbed the mic and explained, "The next match will be refereed by the renowned South Korean Taekwondo master, Master Li Dongguo."

"Damn it, are those damn Koreans trying to pull a fast one because they're losing?" Ling Wei cursed in frustration.

Gu Feng frowned slightly as he watched Li Dongguo in the ring. Recalling that Jin Zhengwei had referred to Li Dongguo as "Uncle Li," he suddenly understood. Thinking of his arrangements for Xu Qiang, his frown eased.

Li Dongguo had entered the ring to protect Jin Zhengwei, and Xu Qiang wasn't going to engage Jin Zhengwei head-on. This way, Xu Qiang wouldn't suffer any harm.

Once the audience caught on, the host immediately introduced the contestants for the next match.

When Jin Zhengwei stood up from the coach's seat and walked along the wooden platform toward the center of the ring, the entire venue erupted in piercing boos. Some spectators even shouted angrily, "Shameless piece of trash, drop dead!"

"Don't be so shameless, you Koreans!"

The insults from the audience made Jin Zhengwei's expression turn extremely ugly. Already filled with pent-up anger, he became even more furious. He instinctively glanced at Xu Qiang, doubling his determination to crush him to vent his rage!

"Xiaoqiang, remember to follow my instructions once you're on stage. Don't act impulsively!"

Before Xu Qiang stepped onto the stage, Gu Feng drilled into him one more time. He was still somewhat uneasy about Xu Qiang.

Xu Qiang nodded solemnly and then walked onto the ring.

As Xu Qiang entered the ring, Jin Zhengwei taunted openly, "Kid, you won't be leaving this ring today!"

Xu Qiang did not retaliate. He just shot a cold glance at Jin Zhengwei and stood opposite him.

Li Dongguo walked up with a blank face between the two and said, "Both sides, introduce yourselves first."

"Jin Zhengwei, Taekwondo Black Belt Fourth Dan!" Jin Zhengwei spoke with a haughty look. For someone his age, achieving Black Belt Fourth Dan was no easy feat.

Compared to Jin Zhengwei, Xu Qiang was far more subdued. He simply said softly, "Xu Qiang, a student of Teacher Gu."

Once the introductions were complete, Li Dongguo pushed the two apart and abruptly declared, "The match begins!"

As soon as Li Dongguo's words fell, Jin Zhengwei swiftly charged forward, delivering a side kick toward Xu Qiang!

Although Jin Zhengwei was extremely arrogant, his Kung Fu was indeed impressive, especially his speed.

Fortunately, Xu Qiang had prepared to dodge from the start. Though somewhat flustered, he managed to evade Jin Zhengwei's side kick.

Failing to land his first strike, Jin Zhengwei did not stop. Instead, he followed up with a second kick, a third kick...

From the very beginning, Jin Zhengwei launched a storm of attacks against Xu Qiang, while Xu Qiang strictly adhered to Gu Feng's instructions, only dodging. Several times, Jin Zhengwei's attacks grazed Xu Qiang's body, but Xu Qiang did not concede defeat. In his view, even if he couldn't fight back, he would hold on a little longer by just dodging!

Under such circumstances, Xu Qiang was grazed several times by Jin Zhengwei's attacks in the following minute, even bleeding from his nose. However, Xu Qiang did not give up the match.

Off the stage, Gu Feng sighed inwardly as he watched Xu Qiang's performance. Xu Qiang's stubbornness still exceeded his expectations. Fortunately, Xu Qiang did not attack, and Jin Zhengwei's attacks had not caused any substantial harm to him.

Just as Gu Feng sighed, Jin Zhengwei suddenly used a fierce sweeping kick to force Xu Qiang into a corner.

Seeing this, Gu Feng's expression changed abruptly, and he anxiously thought, "Xu Qiang, concede quickly!"

To Gu Feng's relief, just as he was worried, Xu Qiang raised his right hand high, signaling his withdrawal from the match!

However... on the ring, Jin Zhengwei sneered upon seeing Xu Qiang concede and said, "Want to give up? Not so easy!"

As he spoke, Jin Zhengwei kicked the defenseless Xu Qiang!

"Bang!"

Xu Qiang hadn't expected Jin Zhengwei to continue attacking even after he conceded. He was struck by Jin Zhengwei's kick!

The tremendous force instantly sent Xu Qiang flying, his body crashing heavily to the ground with a dull thud.

Seeing this, Ling Wei erupted in anger, "Damn it!"

Zheng Jian was furious!

Gu Feng was also enraged!

The entire audience was outraged!

Everyone stood up from their seats, shouting angrily, "Despicable Koreans!"

Seeing the entire audience rise to their feet, Li Dongguo immediately stopped Jin Zhengwei and said, "Xiao Wei, that's enough."

"Uncle Li, I..." Jin Zhengwei wanted to say something, but seeing Li Dongguo's stern expression, he swallowed his words.

At the same time, Gu Feng, Ling Wei, and the others quickly rushed toward the ring. That kick had been delivered with Jin Zhengwei's full strength—Xu Qiang was definitely seriously injured!

On the ring, Xu Qiang's body convulsed violently, blood flowing from his mouth. With dazed eyes, he used his hands to push himself up from the ground, struggling to stand!

Seeing Xu Qiang covered in blood, Jin Zhengwei sneered and said, "Kid, you're lucky you gave up, or I would have taken your life!"

Xu Qiang did not respond to Jin Zhengwei's words. Instead, he lunged directly at him!

Xu Qiang owed Gu Feng, so he did as Gu Feng said, but Jin Zhengwei used despicable means to finish him off—he had to fight back!

Jin Zhengwei hadn't expected Xu Qiang to attack him at all, and the color drained from his face. It was too late to dodge.

At that moment, Li Dongguo, standing beside Jin Zhengwei, snorted coldly, planted his feet, and delivered a fierce side kick toward Xu Qiang!

"Bang!"

Li Dongguo had used his full force in that kick, and the immense power instantly sent Xu Qiang flying off the ring!

Xu Qiang was thrown out, crashing heavily onto the grass below the ring with a dull thud. He spat out several mouthfuls of bright red blood, then closed his eyes...

"Xu Qiang!"

Gu Feng, who was running toward the ring, roared when he saw this.

Gu Feng rushed to Xu Qiang's side as fast as he could, lifted him up, and felt for his pulse. By then, Ling Wei and Zheng Jian had also rushed to Gu Feng's side. Seeing Xu Qiang, his mouth full of blood, both Ling Wei and Zheng Jian saw red!

Meanwhile, at the edge of the ring, the three referees from the World Taekwondo Federation were stunned. They never expected Li Dongguo, a Taekwondo master from South Korea, to viciously strike a high school student!

And Xu Qiang was already injured!

"Damn it! You Korean bastards! Have the guts to stay right there!"

At the same time, the audience in the arena was completely enraged. They stood up from their seats one after another and began pouring into the aisles.

Clearly, they all wanted to seek justice for Xu Qiang!

After confirming that Xu Qiang's pulse was still beating, Gu Feng let out a long sigh of relief. With reddened eyes, he stood up and shouted at the staff by the ring, "What the hell are you still standing there for? Get him to the hospital immediately!"

After saying that, Gu Feng turned to Ling Wei and Zheng Jian and said, "You two go to the hospital and keep an eye on Xu Qiang. If necessary, Ling Wei, use your pull to pressure the hospital into performing surgery right away!"

Without waiting for Ling Wei's response, Gu Feng ran to the edge of the ring, grabbed the guardrail, heaved himself up, and leaped onto the ring.

"You think you can leave after hurting my student?" Staring at Li Dongguo, who was about to leave, Gu Feng narrowed his eyes, exuding a strong killing intent. "Even if the heavens themselves descend today, you'll have to leave your life here!"
