Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 13 Glory Belongs to the Winners

With a muffled thud, Gao Wu's powerful sweeping attack was caught by Bai Xiang's face.
Bai Xiang's head jolted violently, and blood and sweat spurted from his head and face. Yet, he still managed to withstand the kick thanks to his hard skull and thick trapezius muscles.

He even had the strength to fight back, and the moment he was hit by the heavy kick, he used his arms to grab Gao Wu's leg tightly.

Gao Wu didn't expect Bai Xiang to be so resilient. His legs were numb from the kicks, and it was too late to pull back.

Bai Xiang risked his life for this opportunity, so how could he let Gao Wu escape so easily?

He grabbed Gao Wu's calves with his big hands, bent over and swung him backward, causing him to fall heavily. Gao Wu was thrown out in a big circle along his arms.

This move is a type of over-the-shoulder throw, just reversed. This throw fully utilizes his own body as leverage, making full use of his strength.

Gao Wu, who was being swung around, had no choice but to shrink his body to protect his head, while turning his body as much as possible to slam him onto the plastic floor in a sideways position.

Another loud thud was heard, and the plastic floor was clearly deformed by Gao Wu's impact.

Many students at No. 9 Middle School were excited to see Gao Wu about to win, but Bai Xiang suddenly reversed the situation, and it seemed that Gao Wu was about to be thrown to his death!
A series of gasps of surprise rang out from the crowd!
The referee in charge of the match also narrowed his eyes. With such a huge force hitting the player, the student from No. 9 Middle School was likely in serious trouble.

In low-level leagues like the Middle School Martial Arts League, if a fighter is killed on the spot, the referee should bear some responsibility.

The referee wanted to stop the match immediately, but he noticed that Gao Wu, who had almost been smashed into a pulp, had bright eyes, steady breathing, and a calm expression.

Gao Wu's body posture maintained a stable framework, yet it was not stiff, which means that Gao Wu not only remained conscious, but could even control his body.

The referee was surprised but also relieved; at least no one had died.

Gao Wu's whole body went numb from the fall, but fortunately he had adjusted his body in advance to take a defensive stance, and with his strong physique, he actually managed to withstand the blow.

Bai Xiang flipped over and sprang up, crossing his arms as he jumped and slammed them down hard on Gao Wu's face.

Having suffered a major loss, Bai Xiang dared not be careless again and seized the opportunity to eliminate Gao Wu in one fell swoop.

The over 300-pound body leaped high into the air, and Gao Wu's vision went black as he was completely enveloped by the opponent's massive frame. He hurriedly rolled to the side, and Bai Xiang's fists slammed down almost right next to his ears.

Another gasp went up from the audience.

Bai Xiang slammed a full-force punch into the ground, his face contorted in pain. He hadn't expected Gao Wu to have the strength to fight back. He rolled over and chased after Gao Wu, unleashing a barrage of punches.

This time it was Gao Wu's turn to raise his arms to block and dodge. Bai Xiang's punches were very heavy, making Gao Wu's arms feel sore and numb, and he could only keep retreating to dissipate the force.

Despite unleashing dozens of punches like a storm, Bai Xiang failed to defeat Gao Wu, or even truly injure him.

On the contrary, Bai Xiang was expending a lot of energy in his frantic output, and his breathing became rapid and unsteady.

In a corner of the ring, the coach from No. 6 Middle School was yelling, "Stay calm, stay calm..."

Bai Xiang ignored the coach, but he calmed down a bit and punched again. His straight punch accurately penetrated the gap between Gao Wu's arms. Gao Wu dodged backward and missed Bai Xiang's punch by a hair's breadth.

This precise control of distance also drew admiration from several experts present.

Just then, Bai Xiang's four fingers suddenly shot out like switchblades, stabbing right into Gao Wu's eyes.

This attack was sudden and vicious. Bai Xiang's fingers were not only as sharp as blades, but also had the ability to generate power with a short burst of force, which could unleash power even over a short distance.

Fortunately, Gao Wu closed his eyes and lowered his head, avoiding having his eyes gouged out on the spot. However, his eyelids were pierced, and his brow bone was directly punctured, causing blood to flow out immediately.

The students at No. 9 Middle School were shouting and cursing angrily.

"foul!"

"mean……"

The rules of the martial arts league are simple, only prohibiting strikes to the back of the head and eyes. Bai Xiang's actions were clearly a violation of the rules.

Even if the members of the No. 9 Middle School Martial Arts Team disliked Gao Wu, they were now united in their hatred and shouted insults together, with some even yelling for the referee to stop the match.

The referee hesitated for a moment but ignored it.

Bai Xiang completely ignored the shouts from outside the arena. After his successful strike, he advanced and pursued without hesitation. Although Gao Wu had one eye gouged out and was experiencing sharp pain and blurred vision, he remained very calm.

Gao Wu's other eye caught sight of Bai Xiang's body movements and made a prediction. As Bai Xiang stepped forward, Gao Wu's thigh swung slightly, and his calf lashed out at Bai Xiang's groin like a whip.

Even with special material underwear for protection, Bai Xiang couldn't withstand such a fierce whip kick, and the intense pain immediately slowed his movements.

Gao Wu, close to Bai Xiang's armpits, spun around like a snake coiling around a tree, and was behind Bai Xiang. He clasped his arms together and wrapped them around Bai Xiang's particularly thick neck, then put his legs on Bai Xiang's legs, completing the rear naked choke.

Naked chokehold does not interrupt a person's breathing, but rather interrupts the blood supply to the brain by compressing the aorta on both sides of the neck.

Even if Bai Xiang were to inject the drug, as long as he couldn't circulate his source energy, a rear-naked choke would be enough to subdue him within ten seconds. Bai Xiang immediately realized the danger and launched a series of elbow strikes at Gao Wu's ribs, but this position was difficult to exert force on and posed no real threat to Gao Wu.

The audience in the stands got excited. Even the most clueless person knew that getting a rear naked choke in this level of fighting meant winning!
The coach from No. 6 Middle School panicked and yelled, "Jump! Smash him to death! Smash him to death!"

Bai Xiang circled the arena a few times, realizing he couldn't defeat Gao Wu. He strode towards the glass wall.

With his terrifying explosive power, Bai Xiang ran up the glass wall and took two steps, soaring to a height of more than four meters before leaning back and slamming down onto the arena.

All the spectators stared wide-eyed at the scene as Bai Xiang, carrying Gao Wu, crashed down from a height of four meters.

With Bai Xiang weighing over 300 pounds, falling from this height would at least knock Gao Wu unconscious, if not kill him!
The coach of No. 6 Middle School was overjoyed: "Gao Wu definitely won't be able to hold out this time..."

Unlike the last time when Bai Xiang threw him, Gao Wu could adjust his posture to absorb the force. This time, riding on Bai Xiang's back, no matter how he adjusted, the force was all on his back.

This could have broken Gao Wu's spine... If Gao Wu had been smart, he could have let go in mid-air and protected himself.

To everyone's surprise, Gao Wu didn't let go; instead, he held Bai Xiang's neck tightly. His one open eye was filled with unwavering determination.

With another muffled thud, Bai Xiang and Gao Wu slammed heavily onto the ground, the violent impact causing the surrounding PVC-coated glass walls to shake.

To everyone's surprise, Gao Wu was still conscious, his arms tightly wrapped around Bai Xiang's neck.

Gao Wu looked like a giant python, tightly coiling around Bai Xiang and constantly contracting and strangling him.

The immense force of the impact caused Gao Wu to cough up blood, staining his white neck a deep red.

Bai Xiang didn't give up either; he kept rolling and struggling, but he couldn't shake off Gao Wu, who was like a giant python.

The entire audience stood up in tension to watch the game; they had reached the most crucial moment, and it was a matter of who could hold on the longest.

An ordinary middle school martial arts league battle, yet it left everyone watching feeling incredibly excited and unable to contain their emotions.

The fighting spirit and perseverance of both sides are truly moving.

As Bai Xiang rolled around, he gradually lost his strength, but Gao Wu encouraged him in his ear: "Come on, hang in there! If you're this weak, I'm really going to have to show you up..."

Bai Xiang's mind was foggy; he could no longer hear what Gao Wu was saying, and he had no energy left to be angry or furious.

Before Gao Wu could finish speaking, Bai Xiang's body went limp, his eyes rolled back, and he completely lost consciousness.

The referee checked Bai Xiang's condition and quickly pried Gao Wu's hand away, saying, "Alright, you win."

Gao Wu slowly sat up, glanced at the unconscious Bai Xiang, and kindly reminded him, "Wake up, this isn't how you sleep..."

Gao Wu's imitation of the Yunnan accent was simple, honest, and even a little comical.

Bai Xiang did not respond, but the members of the Sixth Middle School Martial Arts Team who rushed up did not find it amusing at all; they all glared angrily at Gao Wu.

At this moment, the entire stadium erupted in thunderous cheers.

The emotions that the teachers and students of No. 9 Middle School had suppressed for a long time burst out at this moment, and many girls even cried with emotion when they saw Gao Wu's blood-covered face on the screen.

Although the two sides were of low combat strength, the battle was full of twists and turns, and their bravery, perseverance and resourcefulness were impressive.

Song Mingyue, who was watching the live stream online, remained calm; the outcome of the battle was within her expectations.

Thousands of miles away in her dormitory at Anjing University, Shang Qingjun, who was also watching the live video stream, was not excited. Her bright eyes were full of worry for Gao Wu.

While others only care about winning or losing, she cares more about Gao Wu's safety.

Gao Wu stood up and raised his arm along the ring to signal to the four directions. His face was covered in blood, his eyes were swollen and his eyelids were purple, and he looked rather disheveled, but it couldn't hide his bright smile.

The cheers, as loud as a tidal wave, were so enthusiastic and exciting that they made him extremely excited. Compared to the rescue he had performed a few days earlier, this was the glory he had earned through his own hard work and skill!

At that moment, he felt like the king of this place, bathed in boundless glory. This feeling was so wonderful that he couldn't help but feel joy and intoxication...

Seeing this, Shang Qingjun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She felt a pang of sympathy for Gao Wu; this victory had come at a great cost, and she wondered if Gao Wu had suffered any internal injuries...

The beautiful woman next to me exclaimed in admiration, "Our brother is really ruthless, I love him!"

On the arena, Gao Wu was actually looking at his Book of Boundless Merit, with a large number of merits increasing by 1 on the blank pages... Clearly, these merits came from the audience...
