I Am The Young Master

Chapter 49: Knee strike

Lai Xinyue who was surrounded by two other participants just kept on looking at them. She was trying to figure out their plans and come up with countermeasures.

On the other side of this stand-off, Fan Jian and Liang Qing were also looking for openings in Lai Xinyue's posture to make a move and hopefully do some damage.

This was all good and well, but there was a slight problem, none of them was willing to make the first move.

Lai Xinyue was naturally in a disadvantageous position as this was a 1 vs 2 fight so it was expected of her to be more vigilant and don't act rashly because any mistake could cost her the competition.

Fan Jian and Liang Qing were also in a dilemma. They have seen her fights before so they knew they wouldn't have an easy time and they needed to do something and do it fast to have a chance, but the problem is that they didn't have any plans and the more time passed the more insecure they become.

So for the sake of it, they decided to attack, this way they at least wouldn't lose the surprise factor.

From the left and right of Lai Xinyue, they started making their move. In their mind, they deduced that this is the best plan of action to surprise her and try to land at least one attack on her.

Well, they didn't know about Lai Xinyue's physique that allowed her to move in the most optimal way in order to avoid an incoming attack. With her physique, landing an attack is a difficult thing to do but defending is not hard. They could have just sat there and she wouldn't have the necessary power to fight both of them at the same time so it would be a deadlock for her and would put her in a difficult spot.

But for some reason they thought attacking her head-on was a good idea and they acted on it.

With her [Fate Eluding Physique] she could have easily moved to counter each one of these attacks but now that these attacks are almost simultaneous, this couldn't be solved with a simple dodge or sidestep, there had to be a bit more body movement and acrobatics involved.

The significance and value of this physique are shown in situations that are hard to counter and with this physique, you would instantly know how to counter it, so attacking harder against this physique could only result in a more disadvantageous situation for you.

As the sword attacks closed on Lai Xinyue, she expertly moved and Fan Jian's and Liang Qing's swords barely missed her.

Fan Jian and Liang Qing were shocked by this development as they didn't expect her to be able to dodge with a amazing body movement that freed her from the clutches of their sword. But that wasn't important right now, what is important is the fact that their swords will hit each other if they don't stop it in time.

As they were very close to land an attack on Lai Xinyue, they don't have a large distance between themselves, so they had to focus fully to be able to deflect the swords.

Using this chance, Lai Xinyue closed on both of them and decided to attack. Just as they successfully deflected their swords, Lai Xinyue jumped into the air and bent her knees up toward her chest, she then put a hand on the back of each of her opponents' heads.

It was at this moment that Fan Jian and Liang Qing know what was happening but unfortunately for them, Lai Xinyue didn't give them a chance to do anything to counter their situation.

Exerting force to her hands, Lai Xinyue forced their heads to move and in a quick move kneed their heads at the same time.

Her fight with these two took some time to describe, but all of it actually happened in a matter of seconds.

The crowd was also so absorbed in the fight that no one even breathes until a second or two after Lai Xinyue's attack. at that moment, you could see the Fan Jian and Liang Qing's protective gear activating. With this, they both were out of the competition and they both lost in a single move despite them teaming up…

The crowd broke in cheers. This fight didn't follow the script that everyone thought it would. They thought that Lai Xinyue would have to fight desperately in order to win this fight as she is being teamed up against, but against all odds, she used their own sword attack to force them to show an opening and she didn't hesitate for a fraction of second to execute her knee strike.

Li Huang was probably one of the only people who know that she would be having an easy time in this fight but even he didn't think it would be to this extent.

'That was some Muay Thai shit.' Li Huang touched his nose uneasily. When Lai Xinyue kneed them, if you were paying close attention as Li Huang did, you could hear the *crunch* sound of their noses.

Without a doubt, this was a brutal move from Lai Xinyue but she only thought that this would be the most efficient way to finish the fight and didn't put any thought on the attack itself. Fortunately for her, this wasn't deemed as permanent damage to them, and her movements were not considered to be against any laws.

Lai Xinyue soon moved from the location to find new opponents and also get away from the place that her last fight was at to avoid anyone who might jump her. Although she has a relatively easy time handling the campers because of her physique, if she to be is surrounded that advantage might be lost and that would result in her loss.

As Lai Xinyue was looking for new hiding places, the others were also doing their best to fight for the finals. Dai Bao's team found and eliminated 3 more disciples and were on high alert for any sighting of Jin Fen.

Jin Fen also continued with his own strategy of blasting the sky until it falls down. In this past time, he also did fight against a disciple who was angry about him making noise pollution. As that disciple wasn't that lucky, what he faced was more noise continued with him losing the chance to continue the competition.

With all of the fights going on, the number of remaining participants decreased to 20. It seems as time passed, more disciples were gathering at the center and more fights were happening.

There is a logical reason for that, to be qualified to be one of the 5 winners of this round you have to at least have one elimination in the battle royale, and in the end, the one with the higher elimination number would fight sooner tomorrow. Also as the number of fighters decreases to 10, everyone would be notified about each other's location so there is no use in hiding.

20 disciple means that a quarter of them would get to the finals, this results in a more reckless fight from now on…
