“A’Jing, this won’t work. Let’s change the person and send someone else in,” Huo Hongyang said.
“Please trust me on this and let him give it a try,” Su Jing said.
“With his condition, does he really need to give this a try?” Huo Hongyang was getting anxious and didn’t understand where Su Jing’s confidence in Tian Dazhu came from.
“It’s hard to explain now, you’ll see during the match. If we lose, we can let Fei Yun take over, or I’ll personally go on. Just trust me,” Su Jing said.
Huo Hongyang wanted to say more, but seeing how determined Su Jing was, he didn’t continue and stopped. He thought that switching players after a loss was like playing musical chairs, and they might be criticized by the public if they won that way.
But then he thought about Tian Dazhu’s condition and realized that nobody had really factored him in, and he shouldn’t use up much of the opponent’s energy or stamina so they can indeed save in another player, although it would be shameful but they can’t do anything about it.
Anyway, Tian Dazhu was already on stage, and it wouldn’t be good to call him down now. They might as well let Su Jing have his way and finish this match before deciding what to do next.
“Haha…hahaha…” On the stage, Will looked up and down at Tian Dazhu, and couldn’t help laughing His manager, who had been nervous, also couldn’t help but laugh.
They sent a disabled person to fight against a martial arts combat expert. Wasn’t that seeking death? However, this was also good, as they could easily win without much effort.
“Are you ready?” The referee asked with a stern expression on his face but was also thinking that this was the first time he had seen a disabled person fight against a martial art combat expert. He hoped nothing bad would happen.
“I am Ready.” Will nodded.
“Okay.” Tian Dazhu also nodded. He was obviously nervous, but he was trying to stay calm.
“The match begins,” The referee waved his hand as he spoke.
Tian Dazhu took on the defensive stance of Tai Chi, and everyone was surprised to see that his metal arms moved very naturally when he raised them in a defensive posture, including the elbow joint, wrist joint, fingers, and more.
His Tai Chi stance was very skillful. Will, on the other hand, was very casual with his posture, and with a smirk on his face, he kept a certain distance and circled around Tian Dazhu, he looked like a wolf playing with a goat.
“I guess he would at least last for ten seconds.”
“I am guessing he won’t last more than five seconds, he’ll be defeated with just one move.”
“I think it will take at least two minutes. Can’t you see it? Will isn’t in a hurry to defeat Tian Dazhu. He’s probably going to play with him first, and he will only make a move to defeat him when he’s had enough.”
“But then again, Tian Dazhu’s prosthetic limb looks really cool.”
“It’s too early to say like that right now. It might just be all show and no substance.”
Amidst a chorus of ridicule, Tian Dazhu appeared even more nervous than he already was at the beginning. Just then, Will suddenly stepped forward, throwing a straight left punch at lightning speed.
Tian Dazhu was startled and quickly retreated, but he was still a step too slow and got hit on the left cheek. He stumbled backward three steps before regaining his footing, and the whole crowd erupted into a chorus of boos.
Fortunately, Will’s punch was just a probing jab and not very powerful, so Tian Dazhu was only slightly injured, and the punch only resulted in a slightly swollen cheek.
However, some people were surprised to see how agile Tian Dazhu’s metal right leg was as he retreated. Not only could he move the whole leg, but even his knee, ankle, and foot seemed to move just like a real one, with effortless flexibility.
“Tian Dazhu, stay calm and remember what I taught you,” Su Jing said in a low voice.
“Okay,” Tian Dazhu took a deep breath and calmed down.
“Hehe,” Will smiled. “Does staying calm really work?” He then assumed a combat stance and slowly approached Tian Dazhu. Suddenly, his left hand reached out, but this time Tian Dazhu reacted in time and dodged to the side.
However, Will’s left-hand punch was just a feint, and his right-hand straight punch blasted out with tremendous force.
Those who knew about combat knew that a backhand straight punch was generally much more powerful than a front-hand one, and someone like Will, a master fighter, could knock someone out with just one punch.
At this moment, Tian Dazhu, who should have been even more panicked, showed a faint sense of relief in his eyes, reacting with surprising ease.
He used his metal right hand to perform a Taiji move, blocking Will’s backhand straight punch, and at the same time, his metal right leg drew a graceful arc on the ground as his body rotated slightly, allowing him to grab Will’s right hand and pull it back.
…
Tian Dazhu’s series of movements were as skilled as a Taiji master, executed with precision and finesse, catching Will off guard and impressing Huo Hongyang, Cai Wufeng, and the other martial art masters in the audience.
As Tian Dazhu pulled Will, he lost his balance and began to fall forward, but being a skilled fighter, he quickly reacted and tried to regain his footing.
However, at that moment, Tian Dazhu suddenly released his grip on Will’s arm, causing him to feel as if he was stepping in the air. At the same time, Tian Dazhu’s metal right leg took a half step forward and his right shoulder collided with Will’s right armpit.
Will let out a muffled groan and jumped back, taking three steps before regaining his balance. He felt a sharp, piercing pain in his right armpit that lingered and made it difficult for him to lift his arm. Tears welled up in his eyes.
The armpit was a weak point, and Tian Dazhu’s seemingly casual collision was actually extremely powerful, causing Will to both jump back and be knocked away.
Will was dumbfounded by what had just happened, as was his agent. The entire audience was also stunned by the scene they had just witnessed.
“Oh my god, what just happened?”
