Chapter 225: Let’s Fight!
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

Walking out of the apartment complex to the nearby bus stop, Hao Ren looked up and could still see the Nine Dragon Palace hovering in the air and the many cultivators flying on swords.

Out of sight, out of mind. He withdrew his Nature Essence and looked up again. This time he saw nothing but dark clouds as if it would rain at any moment.

He got on the bus, and it was still early when it arrived at East Ocean University. The bus stopped at the north gate of the school, and he had to cross the entire campus to reach the southern dorm area.

It was quiet on campus in the morning. Near the north gate was the pink dorm buildings for the girls mostly from Business Program and Foreign Language Progam. The University placed the students of the liberal arts in the dorm buildings inside the campus while the students of science and technology lived in dorm buildings outside of the school.

He was crossing a small forest filled with birds singing and flower fragrances when he heard sounds of "He" and "Ha" from a distant meadow.

He turned his head and saw the guys from the Taekwondo Club was practicing on the meadow. Wearing taekwondo suits, their uniformed kicking and punching movements looked quite dashing.

Practicing on the meadow in the center of the girl's dorm buildings in the early morning; their intention was obvious.

"Everyone! Look sharp! Don't embarrass yourself in front of the girls!" A man who looked like their captain was lecturing them.

Hao Ren watched them practice as he passed by.

"Su Han said my martial arts skill is poor. Maybe I should find a place to learn some techniques. But the clubs in the school look quite lame…" Hao Ren thought to himself.

Seeing Hao Ren watching them, the captain yelled at him, "Hey, you want to join our Taekwondo Club?"

Hao Ren shook his head and passed through the meadow.

Meanwhile, a guy from the club reminded the captain, "Boss, that guy is the boyfriend of Lu Linlin and Lu Lili. He once defeated Huang Xujie."

"Really?!" The captain of Taekwondo Club looked after Hao Ren's back in surprise.

The sky was still cloudy. Among the students walking to different academic buildings for class, Hao Ren looked quite ordinary with his books in hand.

However, he felt the atmosphere was a bit different today. Some girls and guys gathered together whispering to each other.

At first look, they were just students chatting with each other. But upon a closer look, Hao Ren found that they all had some blue or yellow lights around them.

It meant that they were not talking about the news in their daily lives or the activities in the school or anything related to their studies. They were talking about the Nine Dragon Palace in the sky!

The Dragon Tribe members had merged into the mortal world, and there were many young cultivators in East Ocean University. They each had their own groups of common background to trade information.

"Hey! What are you doing?" Xie Yujia appeared beside him and gave him a little punch.

"Oh! Nothing." Hao Ren looked away from the students and smiled at Xie Yujia in embarrassment.

"You have been quite mysterious recently," Xie Yujia glanced at him and said.

"No. I've been busy," said Hao Ren.

"What are you busy doing?" Xie Yujia asked.

"I want to work for a designing studio that does architectural work, and I've been studying stuff related to it," Hao Ren said casually.

He glanced at Xie Yujia again and found she was even more beautiful than the day before. The most noticeable part was her skin which was so smooth and resilient that it looked like a boiled egg where the shell had been newly peeled. She could be a model for a skincare product commercial.

"What skincare products are you using?" Hao Ren blurted out.

"Skincare products?" Xie Yujia looked at him in confusion. "I don't use any. As usual, I wash my face with a facial cleanser before bedtime in the night and after getting up in the morning. "

"Oh…" Hao Ren stared at her face. "But your skin looks so much better than before."

"So, does yours. Your complexion has improved a lot in the past month," Xie Yujia said.

"You've been checking me out?" Hao Ren asked without thinking.

She froze for a moment before widening her eyes. Nodding, she said, "Yeah. Kind of."

"By the way, the clubs of Haishi University have come to our school today, and there will be several friendly matches between the clubs of the two schools. Will you go watch?" Xie Yujia asked.

"What matches?"

"Badminton, table tennis, tennis, and others. But I think the Taekwondo competition will be the most fun to watch." She checked her watch. "How about going over and having a look?"

Looking at her eager face, Hao Ren thought for a second. "Ok. Let's go and have a look."

"Good!" Xie Yujia parked her bike at the roadside. "It's not far from here by foot."

"Class President, you've been in a good mood lately," Hao Ren said abruptly while walking.

"I've always been like this. By the way, how is Grandma?"

"She's fine, and she is still staying in Zhejiang. Oh, how is the old lady who lives near your home?"

"I borrowed some books about acupoints massaging. I learned some techniques from the book and tried them on the old grandma. She seems a lot better lately," Xie Yujia said, walking with elegant ease.

She turned to look at him. "When your grandma comes back, I can give her a massage. She will find it relaxing."

"Ok. Thank you for your kindness, Class President," Hao Ren said.

Xie Yujia glanced at him and bit her lip, feeling he sounded aloof by always calling her Class President.

They chatted all the way to the stadium.

The gym was crowded. Each club had their designated area in the gym. Hao Ren saw Huang Xujie's Rock Climbing Club was among them, but they had no competition today since Haishi University had no Rock Climbing Club.

The members of the East Ocean University Taekwondo Club were sitting on the west side of a square court, and the black-clothed members of Haishi University Taekwondo Club sat opposite to them across the court.

"It's about to begin!" Pulling Hao Ren after her, Xie Yujia quickened her steps, found a good spot and sat down.

Hao Ren saw Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were sitting among the members of the East Ocean University Taekwondo Club.

"Gongzi!" They waved at Hao Ren.

Hao Ren smiled at them, knowing they were here to make up the numbers since the girls were not allowed in the formal competition.

"They are close to you," sitting beside Hao Ren, Xie Yujia said with a little jealousy.

"They love to have fun, but they are good girls." Hao Ren defended them.

On the court, the two clubs each sent a member for the first competition. They bowed to each other before taking their positions.

The participant of East Ocean University wore a white suit while his opponent wore a black suit.

"Hey!" The participant of East Ocean University made the first kick.

Hao Ren had always thought the fighting sports clubs at school were only pretentious flourishes. He didn't want to go with Zhou Liren to play online games in the internet-café. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come here to watch the competition.

Bang!

While Hao Ren was mulling over these thoughts, the participant from East Ocean University suddenly flew out of the court.

The participant from Haishi University was still holding the posture of a high kick while his defeated opponent was struggling up from the smooth floor, one hand holding his chest.

"That kick was vicious," Xie Yujia whispered.

Hao Ren nodded, thinking the winner was too vicious for a club friendly match.

When they were talking, another pair of rivals stepped up.

"The taekwondo clubs of East Ocean University and Haishi University have been rivals. In the grading games last year, they almost got into a fight. You just watch, sparks will fly in today's friendly competition."

The guys sitting a row behind Hao Ren and Xie Yujia were talking among themselves.

Hao Ren turned to glance at them before looking at the court below. Sure enough, both teams fidgeted uncomfortably due to the vicious kick. The participants of East Ocean University were especially resentful; they clenched their fists, looking as if they wished to rush up and engage in a group fight.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

On the court, the opponents' feet collided three times successively with each other.

Obviously, they were using their full force, and the three kicks were quite powerful.

Leg Sweep! The participant of Haishi University changed his strategy abruptly, and his rival from East Ocean University was caught unprepared and fell to the ground with a thud.

Although the mat cushioned the fall, it was still painful.

The participant of Haishi University bowed slightly and got off the court.

"The third!" the Taekwondo Club captain of East Ocean University yelled. Although the members had played more than they trained in the club, the captain was angry when their rivals butchered his members in the so-called friendly game.

The East Ocean University participant in a white suit stepped up and faced his opponent in a black suit.

After three to four rounds, the East Ocean University participant fell.

"They suck!" The guys sitting behind Xie Yujia and Hao Ren began talking again.

Xie Yujia turned her head and gave them a dirty look, thinking, "It's easier to talk than do; you guys can go up and see if you can defeat them!"

Bang! Another East Ocean University participant fell to the ground.

Mortified, the Taekwondo Club captain of East Ocean University stepped up in person.

Haishi University sent a big guy of six feet. He stomped up onto the court.

The captain was tall and manly. He had gotten some serious training in taekwondo for several years and was quite good at it.

However, the captain was sent flying by a kick from the elite participant from Haishi University.

With their captain down, the Taekwondo Club of East Ocean University was completely defeated, and the morale of the club dropped and hit rock bottom.

Among all the club activities in the gym, the competition involving physical combats received the most attention.

"Zhang Xiang, your members have been doing nothing but pursuing girls, right?" the club captain of Haishi University wearing a black belt stood up and insulted the Taekwondo Club captain of East Ocean University.

Zhang Xiang stood up and glared at him, speechless. The Taekwondo Club of Haishi University was a high-level team which had entered national competitions. Anyway, Zhang Xiang was quite courageous to lead his club members to fight them in the so-called friendly match even though he had known they were no match for their rivals.

However, Haishi University team had been a bit too overbearing in this away game, beating the weak opponents with such ferocity and insulting the host team after the game was over.

"Who said East Ocean University sucked? We haven't fought yet!" Lu Linlin and Lu Lili in the last row stood up abruptly.
