#17 - First victory with Xu Qingwan
His feet moved up and down in a staggered pattern, his left palm feinted, and his right palm changed from a poke to a gouge, his five fingers exerting force to grab fiercely at Wei Changtian's shoulder.
In normal circumstances, the best choice when facing such a move would be to retreat and dodge.
However, Wei Changtian seemed a bit distracted, and after only a moment of hesitation, Song Minglin grabbed his shoulder blade.
The latter was immediately overjoyed, putting strength into his right hand while taking another step forward, and simultaneously using his left arm to strike Wei Changtian's chest with an elbow.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound echoed between the two, and although the force of the elbow wasn't great, the impact was solid.
The corners of Song Minglin's mouth curled up slightly, but the next second his smile froze instantly.
The scene of Wei Changtian collapsing in pain as expected did not occur; instead, his own right hand was suddenly clamped tightly, unable to move.
"What?"
Looking at Wei Changtian's pale face, Song Minglin felt a great sense of foreboding and subconsciously wanted to pull away.
Closing his eyes, all the remaining inner force surged up, and Wei Changtian actually used his head to fiercely ram towards Song Minglin.
"Damn!"
Song Minglin had never seen such a fighting style before, but he wasn't a weakling either. Knowing that he couldn't dodge at this moment, he simply gritted his teeth and swung his head back to ram.
"Bang!!!!!"
The two men's foreheads collided with a bang, and the people below the stage stared at the scene in astonishment, as if even their heartbeats had paused.
Although this battle wasn't particularly exciting, and couldn't be called high-quality.
But it was brutal enough.
Looking at that figure whose clothes were covered in blood and who was injured all over, many people truly developed a trace of awe for Wei Changtian for the first time.
Regardless of Wei Xianzheng, regardless of the Wei family.
Just because of this courage to still desperately want to win after losing fifty-eight consecutive matches…
On the stage.
In the splashing blood, the two figures staggered apart.
Wei Changtian tightly clutched his right shoulder, his bent body trembling, and large drops of cold sweat dripped down his pale cheeks.
As for Song Minglin…
"Thump!"
"…"
"Wei, Young Master Wei won?"
Someone asked, but no one answered.
Everyone stared blankly with wide eyes, and the entire Martial Arts Hall was silent for a moment.
"Cough!"
Wei Changtian coughed up a mouthful of blood, then dragged his heavy steps to the "scoreboard", using his inner force through his finger, mixed with someone's blood, he slowly carved the first horizontal line after the word "Win".
Looking back at the stage, it was only then that everyone woke up as if from a dream, and deafening shouts immediately resounded throughout the Suspended Mirror Division.
…
"Young Master, there's no damage to the bones, but the bruising is a bit severe."
In a corner of the stage, Wang Er had already checked Wei Changtian's injuries, his expression somewhat conflicted: "I think you should skip the last match."
"It's okay, let's fight if we have to."
Wei Changtian was in a very good mood at the moment. Although he was in pain all over, his tone was very relaxed.
After fighting more than fifty matches, he had finally won one!
Although it was a seventh-rank winning against an eighth-rank, although it was injuring himself eight hundred to hurt the enemy a thousand… but winning was winning.
More importantly, this meant that his training method was indeed effective, and he would only win more and more in the future!
Thinking of this, he instantly felt motivated, and conveniently threw a pile of pills into his mouth and began to close his eyes to adjust his state.
While Wei Changtian was actively preparing for battle, his last opponent was very uneasy at this time.
This person was a good friend of Song Minglin, and he knew very well that he was weaker than Song Minglin.
And now that Song Minglin had been defeated, wouldn't he…
Not necessarily, after all, Wei Changtian already looked like he had no strength to fight again… if he hadn't eaten those pills.
The more this person thought about it, the more conflicted he became. He wanted to try, but he was afraid that in the end he would not only fail to earn money, but also get injured for nothing.
Just at this moment, a clear and cold voice suddenly sounded from the side.
"Twenty taels, sell the red tag to me."
"Ah?"
The man turned his head to look, his face immediately full of smiles: "Section Chief Xu, you're…"
"Sell or not?"
"Uh… Section Chief Xu, someone was willing to offer fifty taels for this tag before, but I didn't sell it…"
"Oh, then forget it."
"…Sell! I'll sell!"
…
A quarter of an hour later.
Wei Changtian looked up and down at the person in front of him, his expression a bit surprised.
He wasn't surprised why the person had changed, but simply curious that an institution like the Suspended Mirror Division could actually have such a beautiful woman working there.
That face, that waist, those legs… wait a minute!
Hair tied with a red rope, eyes like stars, thin lips like willow leaves…
A name suddenly jumped out of his mind.
Wei Changtian was stunned for a moment, then tentatively asked, not daring to believe it: "Xu Qingwan?"
The woman's expression remained unchanged, and she said lightly: "Young Master Wei knows my name?"
"…I've heard of you."
Wei Changtian forced a smile, but in his heart, a storm was instantly brewing.
Xu Qingwan!
The most powerful female lead in the novel!!
Unlike Lu Jingyao, Xu Qingwan only appeared in the middle stage. She met Xiao Feng because of a case, and later, due to a series of coincidences, she was completely disappointed with the Suspended Mirror Division and instead followed Xiao Feng!
However, her ending was more tragic than Lu Jingyao's. In the end, she died to save Xiao Feng, under… Wei Xianzheng's palm.
Judging from the timeline, Xu Qingwan still had a long time before she would meet Xiao Feng for the first time.
He hadn't thought that far ahead, but since the person had come to his door now, he definitely had to intercept her again!
After making up his mind, Wei Changtian wasn't in a hurry to fight, deciding to communicate and build a relationship first.
But before he could speak, Xu Qingwan spoke first.
"Young Master Wei, you let me win three hundred taels of silver, thank you."
"…"
Wei Changtian didn't expect this, and after looking at the heartbroken bookmaker below the stage, he said with a wry smile: "You're welcome… Miss Xu, did you come on stage just to say this?"
Xu Qingwan shook her head: "No, I wanted to tell you that you are not fit to fight another match in your current condition."
Huh?
What does this mean?
Could it be that this woman has already been attracted to me? Afraid that my injuries will worsen, so she came up here to throw the match?
Wei Changtian was overjoyed and hurriedly confirmed: "So Miss Xu is not planning to fight me?"
"Yes."
Xu Qingwan nodded, but stretched her hand forward: "But you have to give me the fifty taels of silver notes, and I don't want that merit point either. Exchange it for another fifty taels of silver, a total of one hundred taels."
"…"
Wei Changtian was dumbfounded, and after a long while, he asked: "Miss Xu… are you very short of money?"
"Yes."
Xu Qingwan didn't hide it, looking directly at Wei Changtian: "So I will definitely want this money. You can fight if you insist, but don't blame me for not reminding you."
"Cough, let's talk about fighting or not later."
Wei Changtian suddenly had an idea and looked back with a smile.
"Miss Xu, if you need money so much… I have a good job here."
"It's easy and earns a lot, consider it?"
