Competition (3)
"Hey, do you think the fool will cause trouble again this time?”
"I don't think that's possible. He changed his clothes and knows the rules. I can easily defeat him with those two moves of his, let alone Ye Wen.”
"Logically speaking, he will definitely lose, but I have a feeling that that kid will do something.”
"Haha, he's just trying to make a name for himself. If he breaks the rules again, let's see how he'll escape the punishment.”
" Challenger League, Ye Wen versus Ye Kong!" With the old butler Ye Cai's shout, Ye Kong and Ye Wen walked onto the arena from both sides.
"Second brother, is the fifth rule forbidding attacking the other party's face, eyes, crotch, and other vital parts? Was the sixth rule forbidding the use of hidden weapons? Was the seventh rule not to use weapons without permission?”Ye Kong was still asking questions as he stood in the arena.
Ye Wen was already tired of it. He didn't know if this kid was really stupid or pretending to be stupid. He asked him to tell him the rules word by word. In the meantime, he even asked many inexplicable and unknown questions.
However, Ye Wen had already suffered a loss and did not dare to agree rashly. He listened carefully and nodded." That's right."”
"Then the second rule, is it that if the opponent falls to the ground and can't get up or if the opponent's body completely leaves the arena, he will be defeated?”
Ye Wen nodded." That's right. You remember it very clearly."”
"Then if you jump up, won't your feet and your entire body leave the arena?”
Ye Wen was already annoyed to death. He had asked countless similar questions. He didn't know what was going on in his mind. Why was his thinking different from others?
"It's fine to leave for a short time!" Ye Wen's patience was running out.
" And..." Ye Kong wanted to ask more.
"Hey! Are you going to fight or not? Why are there so many questions?" Ye Wen was getting impatient. He had been waiting for this day to beat him up.
"Alright, let's fight then." Ye Kong replied helplessly.
"Be careful then." Ye Wen sneered. Fool, just wait to be beaten! Fighting with my mother, I'll let you have a taste of my power today! No matter how smart you are, you still have to drink my foot washing water!
Ye Haoran sat in his armchair and overheard the conversation above him. He had a hunch that Ye Kong was most likely up to something, but after thinking about it, he couldn't think of anything else that this kid could come up with.
Actually, he had never liked this fool. After all, his mother was so ugly and he was so stupid. He could not even speak fluently and only knew how to laugh foolishly.
However, ever since he heard that this kid had recovered a few days ago, Ye Haoran had been paying attention to him. He discovered that this kid had a particularly tough personality, and he had a fiery temper when he said he would fight. He was very similar to Ye Haoran when he was younger, so his impression of Ye Kong had changed.
After seeing him today, he felt that this kid was even more interesting. He was full of tricks and was endless. Even at this moment, Ye Haoran was a little looking forward to him coming up with some tricks.
"Come on!" Ye Wen roared. As the oldest member of the Ye Family who had yet to leave the residence, he still respected his status and did not take the initiative to attack.
But this time, Ye Kong didn't rush forward. Instead, he hid far away and roared," I'll go just because you tell me to! How embarrassing would that be!?"”
At this moment, he still wanted face? You fool! Ye Wen didn't care about his status. He tapped the tip of his toes, and his body was as light as a swallow. He flipped over like a hawk and struck out in the air.
"F * ck, Qinggong." Ye Kong cursed, then fled to the other corner of the arena.
"Don't run!" Ye Wen jumped back.
Meanwhile, Ye Kong ran to the other side and cursed," I can't beat you, but I can't outrun you, can I?”
Do you think you can hide? Ye Wen laughed coldly and lifted the front of his robe, stuffing it into his waist." You really can't outrun me!"”
Ye Wen couldn't be bothered to jump anymore, so he gathered his internal energy and charged toward Ye Kong.
Fortunately, Ye Kong had practiced long-distance running with weights for a few days, so without the tiles on his legs, he could walk with ease.
Thus, the two of them played the game of Eagle Catches the Chicks on the stage.
The crowd below the stage was in an uproar. No wonder this fool practiced long-distance running every day. Wasn't it useful now?
Ye Hu was still holding a grudge against him. He raised his head and shouted at the arena," Ye Kong, so you've been training in escaping martial arts? Haha, you're really embarrassing the Ye family.”
Ye Kong didn't have the time to pay attention to him. He sprinted around the arena, but no matter how fast he was, how could he keep up with Ye Wen, who had both Qing Gong and internal energy? The distance between the two quickly shortened, and Ye Wen had already tried to grab his clothes several times.
"Idiot! Go to hell!" As the distance closed, a cold light flashed in Ye Wen's eyes. He stepped on the ground with the tip of his foot, and the powerful rebound force made him dash out like a white leopard.
"Southern Azure Full Arm Fist!" Ye Wen threw out his fist, which was filled with internal strength, without any mercy.
"Bang!" Without any suspense, the punch landed on Ye Kong's back.
" Pfff!" Ye Kong, who was running, spat out a large mouthful of blood. He ran two more steps, then staggered and fell onto the stage.
"Hmph, useless fellow. One punch and you're like this.”Ye Wen went up and kicked Ye Kong off the stage like a dead dog.
There was a wide trail of blood on the arena floor.
Ye Wen had won, and there was no doubt about the outcome. The Ye Clan disciples below suddenly realized that the scene they had been looking forward to seeing a fool being beaten up had appeared, but they were actually not too excited.
Ye Haoran shook his head as he looked at Ye Kong, who was hanging by the side of the ring. The gap between Ye Wen and Ye Kong was too great. There was really nothing much to watch in this match.
Ye Haoran raised his hand, and the butler Ye Cai announced the results," Challenger League, Ye Wen…"
"Wait!" Suddenly, a voice rang out from the side of the ring.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ye Kong standing below the stage, one hand pointing at the other.
His other hand was tightly gripping the edge of the ring.
"The rules state that if you fall to the ground and can't get up or your body leaves the arena completely, you will lose! As for me…I still have four fingers on the stage, so I didn't lose!”Ye Kong said this openly, as if he had no idea that he was already so shameless that it made one's hair stand on end.
The crowd booed, clearly protesting Ye Kong's shamelessness.
Ye Wen was so angry that he laughed." Alright! Even if you didn't lose! Then come up and we'll fight again!”
"I'm not going up. I'll just stand below. Anyway, as long as a part of my body is on the stage, I won't lose, and you won't win!”
Everyone was stunned. This kid's skin was already thicker than a city wall. He was already standing below the stage with two feet, and he still hadn't lost?
"Ye Kong! Do you have any shame? Don't play if you can't afford to lose!" Ye Wen's half-brother, Ye Wu, walked up to Ye Kong and scolded," You're relying on the loopholes in the rules and refusing to admit defeat. What kind of hero are you?"”
"I'm not a hero, I'm a hooligan!”Ye Kong rolled his eyes in return and said sternly," The reason I'm doing this is to let you understand that using rules is also a strategy!”
"Using the rules is also a strategy. Well said!" Since Ye Haoran actually agreed, then there was nothing else to say.
Ye Kong patted Ye Wu on the shoulder and said earnestly," Third Brother, I know that with your intelligence, it will be difficult for you to understand the meaning behind these words. But Ye Wen and I are still in the middle of a duel, so please move aside."”
"You! Rascal!" Ye Wu was so angry that his face turned red and he walked to the side.
On the stage, Ye Wen sneered," Since that's the case, I'll let you leave the arena completely!”
After Ye Wen finished speaking, he leaped like a tiger and charged forward. In the air, he did a Golden Rooster Stand Alone and stomped his heels down on Ye Kong's fingers!
Ye Wen's skillful movements and elegant posture won the cheers of the other brothers.
But Ye Kong only needed to raise his hand and place his finger on the other side of the ring.
"Your finger completely left the ring just now!”Ye Wen roared.
"It's fine to leave for a short time…You said it yourself.”Ye Kong smiled innocently.
Ye Wen was about to faint from anger. He wanted to kick his stinky face, but he remembered that the rules stated that face slaps were not allowed. However, this kid was standing below the stage. Other than his face, he could not hit anything else.
Then she would step on his hand! Ye Wen chased after his fingers, taking turns stepping on them with his left and right feet. Ye Kong, on the other hand, used both hands, placing them on one side and then on the other. This competition was no longer like a martial arts competition.
The Ye Clan disciples were at a loss for words. They knew that Ye Kong was being unreasonable, but they couldn't be more reasonable than him. All of them glared at Ye Wen, who looked like he was stepping on a mouse, and Ye Kong, who looked like he was making a pancake. They didn't know how long they were going to play this game.
After an unknown period of time, Ye Haoran could not take it anymore. What kind of competition is this? It's too childish. Do you still have me as your father in your eyes?
"Cough!" Ye Haoran coughed and wanted to say something.
Ye Wen was also annoyed. He stomped his feet and turned to look at his father. Just as he turned his head, his ankle suddenly tightened.
Ye Wen, who was panicking, shouted," Not good!”
However, Ye Wen was also a shrewd person. After being dragged off the stage by Ye Kong, in that split second, one of his hands grabbed onto the edge of the stage.
Hehe, you know how to make use of the rules, but I can't? It's just being shameless. Bro, who's afraid of who?
Ye Wen, who was also standing below the ring, placed his hand on the ring and smiled smugly at Ye Kong.
The Ye family disciples were really on the verge of collapse this time. Today's match had seriously exceeded their imagination. There was no one on the stage, and both contestants stood below the stage, but they still hadn't lost.
This was becoming more and more child's play! Ye Haoran was about to lose his temper.
But at this moment, the victor was decided.
"Ah!" Ye Wen cried out. It turned out that his wrist had been bitten by Ye Kong.
"No biting!" Ye Wen roared.
"There's no such rule!" Ye Kong gave a muffled grunt, then gritted his teeth again.
"Ah! Quickly let go!" Ye Wen had one hand bitten, and his other hand was about to push Ye Kong, so both of his hands left the arena.
"You lost!" Ye Kong spat out a piece of skin from the back of Ye Wen's wrist and climbed onto the stage, shouting," I won!”
Cheers, applause, flowers, and women-none of these were there. The Ye Clan disciples stared at Ye Kong with wide eyes, thinking, What the hell is going on? This kid is pestering me so much, and he actually won just like that? Can this be considered his win?
Ye Haoran didn't think that he would win, but after thinking about it, there was no reason not to. Besides, he wanted to hear what Ye Kong wanted to say.
" Challenger League, Ye Kong wins!" Accompanied by the butler's voice, the disciples sighed endlessly. Each of them thought to themselves, won't we be able to act like scoundrels in the future?
" Ye Kong, even though you won unfairly, I can see that you're more intelligent than I thought, so I'll consider it as your victory. Now, tell me, what do you need? As long as I can provide it, I'll give it to you."”
All the disciples were envious. Damn, this fool won shamelessly, and there was actually a reward. They were all guessing whether Ye Kong wanted silver or some expensive weapon.
"I want to learn martial arts!" Ye Kong said proudly.
"This is what you should have learned. It's not a request.”
"I want my father to teach me!"
Ye Kong's words caused an uproar. Although Ye Haoran had many children, he had only ever taught his eldest son, Ye Wei. His other sons were already content with receiving a few pointers from him. How could they ever think of the honor of having their father guide them wholeheartedly?
If we really let a fool learn from our father, won't we be inferior to a fool in the future? All of the Ye Clan disciples raised their heads to look at Ye Haoran, their eyes wide with nervousness, worried that their father would really agree to Ye Kong's request.
When Ye Haoran heard this, his eyes narrowed as he sized up Ye Kong. Ye Kong's words surprised him, but after thinking about it, it made sense. To be honest, he also wanted the Ye family to have a descendant to inherit his saber and horse skills. The reason why he had never taught his sons was that he thought that none of his sons had good aptitude for learning, and he was afraid that they would bring shame to the Ye family's saber skills.
But after he finished sizing Ye Kong up, he still blinked and lowered his eyebrows.
Ye Kong saw that he was about to fail, so he quickly added," Father, your son's mind is clear now, and I also want to have a bright future. Today, I would like to ask you to teach me martial arts. In the future, I can share your burdens and contribute to the Ye family." Please rest assured, father. I will practice in winter and summer. I will learn humbly and work hard. I will not lose the reputation of the Ye family's martial arts.”
"You should change your request." Ye Haoran mercilessly rejected Ye Kong.
Ye Kong still didn't give up, and stubbornly said,""Father, didn't you just agree that if I win, I can make any request? Was his father going to go back on his word?”
Ye Haoran waved his hand and said," It's not that I'm going back on my words, but your aptitude is too poor, and more importantly, you missed the age to practice martial arts. If you had been a few years earlier…""You're already twelve years old this year, and your skeletal structure has already been set. You can learn martial arts to protect yourself, but it's impossible for you to develop in the martial arts path. No matter how hard you work, it'll be difficult for you to achieve great things…So, if any martial master were to teach you, the effect would be the same.”
"It's possible to learn martial arts to protect yourself, but it's absolutely impossible to develop on the path of martial arts.”
"No matter how much effort you put in, it will be difficult for you to achieve great things.”
These words struck Ye Kong like a bolt from the blue. He had originally wanted to make a name for himself in martial arts, but now it was completely hopeless. He knew very well that it was impossible to make a name for himself in Cangnan Continent without practicing martial arts.
Ye Haoran also sighed and comforted him," Actually, you don't have to be depressed. I see that you're eloquent and quick-witted. Why don't you give up martial arts and write a beautiful article? In the future, when you get an official rank, you can also enter the family and assist the emperor, bringing honor to your ancestors."”
Hearing Ye Haoran's words, the brothers below all let out a long sigh of relief. They looked at each other with joy in their eyes. It seemed that no one wanted to be suppressed by a fool. But little did they know that Ye Kong, who had no hope in martial arts, was about to embark on an even more glorious path of immortality!
