Chapter 89: 【89】Underestimating the enemy will surely come at a cost!_1
 

By the time Tang Feng and Xu Xinling arrived at the boxing ring, Niu Zhuangzhuang had already been waiting on the ring while the group of students gathered around below.

With a “bang bang,” Niu Zhuangzhuang bumped his boxing gloves twice and looked at Xu Xinling with a smile, “Don’t say I bully a young girl like you. I’ll just stand here without moving or fighting back. As long as you can knock me down, I’ll consider it my loss.”

Such words could be described as the height of arrogance.

Xu Xinling’s mouth curled into a smile as she took off the outer white training robe.

She wore a brown, tight-fitting tank top and black leggings underneath, with a section of fair midriff that was particularly eye-catching.

Immediately, a sycophant rushed to deliver a pair of boxing gloves to her.

Xu Xinling put on the gloves and stepped onto the ring, “Is that what you said? Stand still and don’t fight back?”

Niu Zhuangzhuang stood there like a tower of iron, “Yes, that’s what I said. But there’s one condition, no hitting below the belt.”

Xu Xinling bounced around the ring, warming up, “Don’t worry, I know the rules.”

Only then did Niu Zhuangzhuang relax and beckoned her with a hook of his finger, “We don’t need a referee either. When you’re ready, you can start anytime.”

Xu Xinling didn’t say any more but continued warming up. Then, taking small, quick steps, she moved up in front of Niu Zhuangzhuang.

Cheers immediately erupted from below the stage.

“Hit him, beautiful! Hurry up and show us your strength, haha.”

“Do you guys think Mr. Niu is being a bit too arrogant? He’s actually letting her hit him while he stands still?”

“Who is Mr. Niu? He is the Zhonghai boxing champion. Even if he stands still, he’s not someone a little girl can knock down.”

“Yeah, I bet that even if the beauty exhausts herself, she won’t injure a single hair on Mr. Niu.”

“Hahaha, I’m actually quite eager to see this happen…”

Xu Xinling wasn’t disturbed by the mockery from the audience; instead, she looked at Niu Zhuangzhuang with a smile, “Are you ready? I’m going to attack now, okay?”

Niu Zhuangzhuang patted his chest firmly twice, “Go ahead, hit with all your might.”

A sly glint passed across Xu Xinling’s face, and she threw a punch straight into his belly.

“Ah…”

Niu Zhuangzhuang immediately doubled over.

He had originally seen Xu Xinling’s frail appearance and assumed that even her strongest punch would feel like a tickle to him.

But he never imagined her strength would be so formidable.

He felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and almost couldn’t catch his breath.

Having landed a punch, Xu Xinling did not stop there and swung another left hook.

Niu Zhuangzhuang, ignoring the pain in his abdomen, hastily dodged backward with his head.

But he miscalculated again.

Xu Xinling’s left hook was just a feint; her other hand struck almost at the same moment, hitting his abdomen once more.

“Ah…”

Niu Zhuangzhuang cried out in pain once again and couldn’t hold on anymore, scrambling to retreat.

“You’re cheating, weren’t you supposed to stand still?” Xu Xinling mocked as she continued to pursue him.

Niu Zhuangzhuang, no longer concerned about his pride, clumsily dodged in panic.

The audience below was stunned by the scene.

They had thought of many possibilities, but this was not one they had entertained.

Mr. Niu, who had brazenly claimed he would stand still and let her hit him, had started fleeing all over the ring after just two punches.

This was an utter humiliation.

As his fans, they also felt ashamed.

Tang Feng, on the other hand, watched with sheer delight from the sidelines.

Xu Xinling’s sweet appearance was incredibly deceiving.

Whether it was the previous taekwondo coach or this Niu Zhuangzhuang, they both made the mistake of underestimating their opponent.

Underestimating the enemy always comes with a price!

It served as a lesson for him, never to take any opponent lightly again in the future.

At this moment, Niu Zhuangzhuang had been cornered by Xu Xinling.

But he had already promised to stand still and not fight back.

He had now broken the former commitment, and if he broke the latter, it would be a slap in his own face.

He had no choice but to suppress the urge to fight back and try his best to dodge her attacks.

He had first underestimated Xu Xinling’s strength, and now he was underestimating her speed.

After only a few dodges, his face took two solid punches.

A surge of anger could no longer be contained.

“Die!”

He bellowed and threw a punch straight at Xu Xinling’s face.

Seeing this, Tang Feng from below immediately shouted, “Stop!”

He yelled and was about to jump onto the stage.

But he was too far away and couldn’t make it in time.

Niu Zhuangzhuang’s students were also shocked by this turn of events.

Mr. Niu had promised not to fight back. It was unexpected that he would go back on his word and attack a woman who seemed to be weaker.

Er… Of course, she wasn’t exactly a weaker woman.

But it was still somewhat excessive.

Just when everyone thought Xu Xinling would be knocked out, a miraculous scene unfolded once again.

She sidestepped, dodging Niu Zhuangzhuang’s punch.

Then, she grabbed his arm and with a back throw, slammed Niu Zhuangzhuang’s massive body to the ground.

“Bang!”

The stage shook along with it.

Before Niu Zhuangzhuang could pick himself up, Xu Xinling pressed on, waving her fists, aiming for his face.

“Didn’t you say you’d stand and take it?”

“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t fight back?”

“What kind of man are you, if you can’t keep your word?”

“Did you really think I was easy to bully?”

With every statement, she hammered a punch onto his face.

At first, Niu Zhuangzhuang tried to throw her off, but after a few punches, he was beaten into a daze, his consciousness blurring.

Xu Xinling did not stop, continuing to call down punches.

“Thump, thump, thump…”

Niu Zhuangzhuang’s face was already a bloody mess.

The audience below were stunned, all having forgotten to intervene.

It was Tang Feng who reacted the quickest, rushed onto the stage and pulled Xu Xinling away.

This woman seemed not yet satisfied; after being pulled away, she still managed to land two more kicks on Niu Zhuangzhuang.

The audience too came back to their senses and rushed onto the stage, scrambling to check on Niu Zhuangzhuang’s injuries.

A few of the more hot-tempered students even circled around him and Xu Xinling, looking like they were about to start a fight.

Tang Feng shielded Xu Xinling behind him, staring fearlessly at these few people.

“What, can’t accept defeat?”
