Chapter 806 - 15.25
"Stay away from my Gege. Our match is not over yet, General."
General Fei and Bai Shijue turned their heads simultaneously, and they saw Han Shun standing with his fist clenched. He gnashed his teeth out of fury and then readied himself by preparing his stance once more.
"General Fei, I am not going to let you touch Bai Gege as long as I can still stand up and fight you!" Han Shun said.
His courage and toughness were cheered by the awed soldier around the right. Han Shun was the first person who ever stood a chance against General Fei, the Iron General, and he was only 13 years old!
General Fei was also amazed by Han Shun\'s persistence. The kid was only 13 and could withstand his attack. He was even brave enough to challenge General Fei again.
"I have to admit, kid. You would be a great warrior under my tutelage. It\'s a shame that I can\'t take you after only 4 years because you decided to rebel and fight me in a duel like this," General Fei said. "What a wasted chance."
"It\'s not a wasted chance, General. Thank you for giving me martial arts training for the past 4 years, but I won\'t let you marry Bai Gege. Because Bai Gege is my life, and I won\'t let you take him away from me!"
Bai Shijue was astonished. Han Shun could say something like that in front of General Fei, which meant he had already discarded all the risk of real death once he provoked the General.
[Pupa, he is not in love with me, right?]
[Pupa: I don\'t think so. He is most likely seeing you as his father figure, and he doesn\'t want you to marry someone you don\'t like. Like a young man who wants to protect his father.]
[Ah, that makes sense.]
[Go, little rockstar!]
General Fei said nothing, but he prepared his stance again and focused on Han Shun. He didn\'t like bullying a kid like this, but this kid was truly stubborn.
This time, General Fei didn\'t hesitate to charge first and aimed at Han Shun\'s stomach.
The young man didn\'t try to dodge at all. He just took a deep breath and strengthened his core.
BAM!
"Argghh!" General Fei wailed in pain when his fist landed on Han Shun\'s stomach. The General didn\'t expect that Han Shun\'s stomach could be tougher than steel, and he felt that his finger bones had been crushed.
General Fei retreated with a bloodied fist, and the soldiers were all shocked by what happened, including Bai Shijue.
Because Han Shun was just a normal kid, how could he endure the full punch from General Fei and make the Iron General crush his own fist?
That was only possible for those who had cultivated an iron body cultivation technique!
[How in hell—]
[Pupa: Wait, let me do a body analysis on him.]
Pupa analyzed Han Shun\'s current physique and strength, then reported it to Yunyu.
[He is now 5x stronger than General Fei, which means that he is at the peak of human strength right now.]
[What?! How?!]
[Pupa: I don\'t know. Maybe he accidentally unlocked his hidden potential as the male lead because of desperation.]
General Fei\'s right hand was bloody, and he was sure he wouldn\'t be able to use his right fist until an extended amount of healing.
General Fei gritted his teeth. He glared at Han Shun and clenched his left fist. He didn\'t know how Han Shun could suddenly gain such tremendous technique, but Han Shun was still a kid, and he must have his own weakness.
General Fei was thinking of a strategy to quickly take Han Shun down without hurting the young man too much because he believed that Han Shun had a lot of potential in the future. He also didn\'t want to prolong the pain in his right fist.
But when he blinked once, Han Shun was nowhere to be seen.
"Wha—where is he?!"
"I\'m in here."
General Fei quickly looked over his shoulder, and his eyes met with Han Shun\'s cold gaze. Everyone, including General Fei, was surprised by Han Shun\'s quick feet.
It was too quick that nobody was able to catch the movement of this young man, except Bai Shijue, of course.
Bai Shijue could clearly see how Han Shun dashed from his previous spot to stand behind General Fei.
But that was because he was also an immortal, a sect leader of a sect, which made him read Han Shun\'s movement.
But that was definitely not what a mortal could do. Han Shun hadn\'t received any cultivation technique, but he could use the technique used by medium-ranked cultivators?
Bai Shijue had a lot to ask Han Shun after this fight.
"How could you—" General Fei was too stunned to move, and Han Shun replied coldly;
"General Fei, this duel ends now."
Han Shun hit General Fei\'s nape, and the Iron General lost his strength instantly. He tried to stay awake, but after 5 seconds, the General\'s eyes rolled up, and he fell to the ground.
Everyone was scared that General Fei might\'ve been dead after the attack, but Han Shun looked in Bai Gege\'s direction and smiled, "Gege, you don\'t need to worry. Han Shun will not kill anyone without your order. I just made General Fei fainted."
After 10 seconds of not moving, Han Shun was declared as the winner of the duel. He was 13 years old and had beaten the undefeatable Iron General.
[Pupa: Ding! Breakmeter increases to 7%!]
**
The soldiers carried General Fei to his residence and invited a healer to treat General Fei\'s wound on his fist.
After he was treated, General Fei woke up four hours after the match. He held his nape that still had a stinging pain, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Han Shun already kneeling in front of him with Bai Shijue sitting right behind Han Shun.
"You two—"
"General Fei, forgive me!" Han Shun said as he prostrated in front of the General.
"What… happened?"
Bai Shijue smiled at General Fei and replied, "I told him to apologize to you."
