My life has the gift of growth.

Chapter 123: To achieve greatness, there must be sacrifice

"Broken elbow!"

"Liang Yi Ding!"

"Chop, hit, hang and strike!"

The vigorous and powerful Baji movements were interspersed with the dragon-shaped and tiger-pouncing movements of Xingyi. Lin Meng's momentum grew stronger and stronger, and his continuous attacks turned into a surging wave, vowing to drown Bai Yu.
In the waves, Bai Yu, who was suppressed the entire time, was like a small boat swaying in the wind and rain. It seemed that he would capsize at any time and could no longer stroll leisurely as before.

"Oh!"

The "punch" was intercepted by the "cloud hand" again, but Lin Meng had anticipated it. He suddenly twisted his hips and used another "elbow swing", hitting Bai Yu's face directly.

If it was in the previous state, Bai Yu could easily keep up, but at this moment his right arm was already purple and red, and the tingling nerves seriously affected his strength.
He took a step back, using space to buy time, and with his right hand he barely managed to push away the heavy "elbow".
Lin Meng refused to give in, and with a vicious kick from his feet, he struck Bai Yu's calf bone directly.
When Bai Yu raised his knee to block, Lin Meng showed a triumphant smile on his face, and the "rubbing kick" was transformed into a "shock kick"!
Although he didn't know why Bai Yu's left hand was hardly affected by the "qi",

But crippling his right hand was enough. Bai Yu's remaining hand could not stop his special skills. He had to seize this excellent opportunity, get rid of Bai Yu immediately, and then use the remaining strength to deal with Zhao Linglong.

"Shock kick!" The heavy kick caused a circle of dust to rise from the surface of the ring. Bai Yu, who was standing on one foot, swayed slightly.
At the same time, hot air blew out of Lin Meng's nose, his body slightly bent, and his center of gravity sank.
The reaction force generated by the "vibrating kick" and the surface of the ring was amplified through his ankles, calves, waist, abdomen, shoulders, and the twenty-six nodes in between, and finally gathered and transmitted to the palm of his right fist.

Under the tremendous force, traces of blood seeped out from between his fingers, and in an instant, they were evaporated by the high temperature of his fingertips and turned into mist.

This move was his most proficient Baji skill, and he was able to smash the bronze bell with this punch before he could leave the mountain.

"Can you still stop it this time?!"

Lin Meng roared inwardly, his bloodshot eyes bulged forward, and he kicked hard with his hind legs.
The fist surrounded by blood mist rushed up towards Bai Yu's jaw from bottom to top—the ultimate martial art: the ground-to-sky cannon!
The fist blasted out like a volcanic eruption, and the aura of burning heat and destruction immediately eroded the entire arena.

Many professional martial artists at the scene watched nervously and subconsciously held their breath.

Lin Meng's punch took less than a blink of an eye from changing his moves to gathering strength for the next attack. He was extremely agile.
The power was far beyond all the previous moves. They felt their scalps tingling as they watched from afar.

On the other hand, Bai Yu, the opponent, had already used up all his strength and had just stood firm. Even if he reacted, he only had his left hand left to attack.
Can one hand alone block Lin Meng's full-strength punch?
They thought about it and each had an answer in their hearts.

Among them, the teachers at Aoba Takeshi High School were all delighted, feeling that the outcome was almost certain.

Lin Meng's punch was perfect in both technique and momentum, and had the demeanor of a master of ancient martial arts.
Even if they were standing opposite each other, it would be hard for them to resist with one hand without any preparation, no matter how strong Bai Yu was as a student.

The members of the Aoba Takeshi High School team were also ready to stand up and applaud and cheer.
Lin Meng is in great form and may really be able to lead this unknown team to win the Eastern Conference championship.

Wang Qian, who was still worried about the "ghost", regained her spirits and clenched her fists.

No matter what the future holds, it is definitely a good thing that Lin Meng can defeat Bai Yu now.

At the same time, in the care ward fifteen kilometers away from the venue,

Lu Hong silently looked at Lu Hao, whose breathing was getting slower and slower on the bed.

"Is this the heir you chose?"

He looked questioningly, and the team members following Lu Hong were also waiting to see Bai Yu's performance.

With this punch from Lin Meng, the outcome is decided!

The aging hero Lu Hao sensed Lu Hong's attitude, but he no longer had the strength to speak.
He held up his heavy eyelids, staring at Bai Yu on TV, staring at Bai Yu's left hand, motionless. Next, Bai Yu would respond on his behalf.

Inside the stadium, Lin Jiao was also observing Bai Yu's left hand.

She had a deep memory of Bai Yu's last battle against "Viper" and "Stone". This time, she expected Bai Yu to reveal more secrets and talents.

The referee on the ring has been focusing on Bai Yu's left hand since just now.

He knew that this hand was unusual, but he also saw Lin Meng's punch.

"Can one hand really block it?"

Hesitant and skeptical, he, who was closest to the screen, was the first to look at the answer - two fingers.

No need for a hand, two fingers are enough.

Bai Yu crossed his index finger and middle finger and flicked Lin Meng's arm just right.
Instantly, Lin Meng's violent fist changed its attack route and turned to Lin Meng's own chin.

Bai Yu's movements were so fast that Lin Meng had no time to be surprised, let alone react.
He instinctively wanted to hold back, but the power of the "Earth-to-Sky Cannon" was already beyond his control.
"boom!"

The cannon punch hit his chin, Lin Meng raised his head high, his consciousness was blurred, and his body "jumped" five meters on the spot.

After landing, he rolled sideways uncontrollably for more than ten times. When he finally stopped, one hand and one foot were hanging on the edge of the ring.

After a brief silence in the venue,

The students of Bai Ze Wu High School broke the silence of the stands and shouted "Bai Yu" in unison.
Be it ancient martial arts or anything else, Bai Yu is still the invincible Bai Yu.

The people in Bai Ze Wu Gao's preparation booth had already foreseen the result.
Wang Hai smiled and shook his head.

If he was facing Lin Meng, he would not be able to block Lin Meng's punch with either hand, let alone with both hands and feet.
But Lin Meng met Bai Yu, and he still planned to use Bai Yu with his left hand. It can only be said that "an ant is trying to shake a tree." Qian Tao adjusted his glasses, with a slight smile on his face.

Most martial artists have greater power in their right hands. Many people at the scene saw the terrifying power of Bai Yu's right hand and thought that was Bai Yu's dominant hand.

In fact, Bai Yu's left hand is his real dominant hand.

Whether it's strength, reaction, or martial arts used, the left hand is far superior to the right hand, but it is rarely highlighted in daily life.

Qin Ying tapped her fingers on her arm happily, thinking of the interesting things Zhou Yulan had said before.

When Bai Yu was a child, he was obsessed with writing with his left hand, holding chopsticks and heavy objects with his left hand. Obviously, Bai Yu has been practicing deliberately since then, and now the results are showing.

However, Bai Yu was not the only child who had a goal since childhood. At the same time, she knew that there was a girl who worked harder than Bai Yu.

The girl has mastered all the 21 kinds of "Qi" in ancient martial arts.

It’s a pity that the other party has given up on their past achievements and doesn’t seem to intend to use them anymore.

Behind Qin Ying, Lin Jiao suppressed her inner passion and no longer paid attention to Bai Yu's left hand which was full of secrets.
She turned to the bruised Zhao Lingyu, took a deep breath through her red lips, and a grand plan emerged in her mind.

"You said it, Zhao Linglong. To achieve greatness, there must be sacrifice."

She clapped happily along with the other students and teachers at Bai Ze Wu High School.

On the other side, everyone from top to bottom in Aoba Taketaka was speechless.
All of their teachers were shocked and impressed by Bai Yu's "fingertips".
Intercepting punches, using small means to defeat big, this is the perfect way to break a move that only appears in theory. Now Bai Yu has done it in the ring, and he only used two fingers. Such courage and ability have surpassed those of their teachers.

Most of the students also gave up and prepared to leave, as failure was inevitable. But the only consolation for them was that, as an ordinary martial arts high school student, getting runner-up was also a great achievement.

Only the school team members and Wang Qian in the preparation area were unable to accept it.
The team members knew what price they paid, and they began to think with pale faces, is a runner-up really worth it?
Wang Qian's face was as pale as death. She had high expectations before, but now she felt hopeless. If Lin Meng fell here, she would get nothing.

"Lin Meng, stand up, you haven't lost yet!"

She screamed hysterically at the unconscious Lin Meng,

"Stand up!"

"stand up!"

Amidst the shouts, Lin Meng seemed to sense something and opened his bloodshot eyes.

He saw the students from Qingye Wugao High School who had already stood up to leave, and saw Wang Qian crying behind him. He became furious, and the last bit of his strength burst out from the bottom of his heart and spread throughout his body.

"I haven't lost yet!"

He roared, gritted his bloody teeth, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, supported himself with one hand, and stood up again.

Suddenly, the Aoba students who were about to leave stopped, and the cheering people from Bai Ze Wu Gao also slowed down their voices.
The whole audience was watching, and the referee put down the golden whistle that was already at his lips.

Just now, Bai Yu was very generous and did not pursue the victory, otherwise he would have blown the whistle to end the game long ago.

Now, Lin Meng's force field stability has recovered to 45%, so he can only continue.

"The game continues!" the referee emphasized loudly.

All those who support Qingye Wugao, light the last glimmer of hope and wait for Lin Meng to create a miracle.
Wang Qian also encouraged Lin Meng by shouting, "If you defeat Bai Yu, we will get engaged!"

"I can definitely win."

“We will definitely win.”

Lin Meng kept mumbling to himself, when suddenly, an idea came to him.

He waved his arms, and his shirt ripped apart, revealing his bronze skin. Blood was constantly oozing out from between his skin, and his bulging muscles became more and more hideous.

Now, he has reached the peak limit of his physical body and has also thought of a way to deal with Bai Yu.

Bai Yu looked at Lin Meng who was determined to fight to the death, his expression remained the same. He calmly withdrew the middle finger of his left hand, leaving only the index finger.

Needless to say, everyone at the scene kissed Bai Yu, which meant that this was Lin Meng's last chance to make a move.

At this moment, the photographers on the scene pressed the shutter frantically.

If Bai Yu really did what he said before the game and won the game, then this duel would surely become a personal legend.

This is also true for Lin Meng.

If Lin Meng defeats Bai Yu now, Bai Yu will be his stepping stone and he will become the protagonist of the legend.

However, to everyone's surprise, Lin Meng did not attack as aggressively as before, but instead got ready and waited for Bai Yu to make his move.
