Chapter 970: Can’t Beat Them, Win Them Over
Finally, the moment had arrived. Under the watchful eyes of thousands, Gu Fan stepped onto the stage to face the real first-rate expert, Iron Arm Fist Gu Tong, and his heart rate began to accelerate.
Merely in terms of aura, Gu Fan seemed a notch shorter in front of his opponent, but there wasn’t a trace of discouragement in Gu Fan. He held his breath, concentrated, and adjusted his mindset.
Everyone below the stage watched tensely, most had bet on Gu Fan’s loss, none wished for Gu Fan to become the biggest dark horse of the competition. In short, most were silently chanting the same sentence in their hearts, "Please, Gu Fan, you must lose."
The martial arts competition began, and Iron Arm Fist was the first to launch an attack. His fists were mighty and forceful, charging forward and striking fiercely all the way.
Gu Fan went all out, drawing on all his power, employing Vajra Body Protection. Astonishingly, he staunchly blocked Iron Arm Fist Gu Tong’s ferocious punches and even managed to land a counterpunch on Gu Tong.
Seeing Iron Arm Fist Gu Tong being pushed back, everyone was on edge; no one had expected Iron Arm Fist to be at a disadvantage from the start.
But Iron Arm Fist, appearing unconcerned, retorted, "Not bad, now I can use my full strength without worry."
Upon hearing this, everyone was roused, shouting in unison, "Iron Arm Fist, don’t go easy on that kid. Hurry up and knock him off the stage, and we’ll treat you to a meal with the money we win."
Hearing this, Iron Arm Fist Gu Tong laughed heartily, "Alright, I’ll make it quick, and then we’ll all drink together." Saying this, Iron Arm Fist charged at Gu Fan once more.
"Here it comes!" Gu Fan saw the heavy punch coming and immediately used both hands to block. However, the punch was so powerful and dense that it blasted his hands apart, landing solidly on Gu Fan’s body.
Retreating five steps continuously, Gu Fan finally steadied himself, but the Qi inside him was a bit chaotic, and he felt very uncomfortable.
