165: Chapter 165 Exhausted

Zhao Xiaoshuai was beaten until his whole body ached unbearably, but in front of a beautiful woman, a man loves his face too much; he had to tough it out even if he had to force it.

Moreover, watching his combat value continuously increase by +1, the immense sense of accomplishment was enough to support him in continuing to hold on.

The information provided by the system was basically about techniques for exerting force, the keys to center of gravity, human weak points, and a few basic postures and movements.

There were no flashy or complicated moves; the few diagrams included all exuded a sense of simplicity that was profound in its plainness.

In the past, limited by his lack of comprehension, he hadn't understood much of the content, but after taking a beating, he understood.

Furthermore, the hormonal environment in his body was different from ordinary people, allowing him to continuously secrete adrenaline. Combined with his exaggerated recovery ability, he was able to become braver the more he fought.

At first, Hao Jinghan could easily toy with this brash, ignorant brute, but as her stamina significantly waned, she gradually began to feel the strain.

'What kind of monster is this guy? How can his physical stamina be this good?'

'This is troublesome. I can't use lethal force, otherwise, I would have just dislocated a few of his joints or broken his arms and legs and been done with it.'

When the sparring had lasted for an hour, she already wanted to call a stop to it.

But looking at that unyielding figure who had been kicked to the ground by her and was struggling to get back up, she couldn't bring herself to say it.

Calling a stop now gave her a ridiculous feeling that she had lost.

She could only grit her teeth and tough it out; she even started to lose control over the force of her hands and feet. If it were an ordinary person, they would have already been truly injured.

Fortunately, Zhao Xiaoshuai was not an ordinary person. His muscles, directly strengthened by the system, were not the flashy but useless kind developed through ordinary fitness training.

His muscles were dense and firm, with immense resistance to impact, so although he looked miserable on the outside, his internal organs were unharmed.

Finally, at the hour-and-a-half mark, Hao Jinghan, who had been forcing herself to continue, could no longer hold on.

She withdrew from that state of wholehearted combat, and her breathing began to become ragged.

Finally, when she tried to kick Zhao Xiaoshuai down again, due to insufficient force, she was grabbed by her jade foot by the other party.

"What's wrong? Out of energy? I've finally waited for this moment!"

Zhao Xiaoshuai firmly grabbed the jade foot she was trying to pull back, lifted it forcefully, and then pressed his whole body forward.

Although his physique was astonishing, he had been on the receiving end of a beating the whole time. Mentally and physically, he was also on the verge of his limit, so he could only launch a counterattack in the most primitive way.

Hao Jinghan was forced to maintain a high-legged split position. Her other leg could barely hold her up, and she could only passively retreat.

If she were in her peak condition, she could have used one leg to jump up and follow through with a leg lock on her opponent, but now she was truly powerless.

The two of them fell to the ground together like this, but the posture was truly somewhat indecent.

Practitioners of martial arts have good flexibility, so being forced into a split didn't cause any pain, but...

It was just that she was forced to expose her weak point.

Although separated by several layers of fabric, that highly impactful sensation immediately made Hao Jinghan, a girl who had never experienced such things, blush with shame.

As the battle continued, she gradually became drenched in sweat. That heroic charm became increasingly lethal, and as her martial arts uniform was constantly tugged at, it could no longer conceal the scenery beneath.

He also finally realized that Hao Jinghan was at least not flat-chested, but had just wrapped her chest for ease of movement.

However, for that one glance, he was almost given a black eye by the other party.

Although the other party had deliberately avoided his face, Zhao Xiaoshuai's gaze was so aggressive that Hao Jinghan subconsciously struck out.

And what was most alluring about Hao Jinghan was her waist, full of a sense of power, and that pair of legs that were longer than life.

Unlike his girlfriend number one, Hao Jinghan's abdominal muscles were much more defined, clearly full of power.

Her long legs were also not the slender pencil-leg type; they were firm and full of power from top to bottom.

Being locked by such a pair of legs—the feeling was almost too much to imagine.

All things considered, as Zhao Xiaoshuai fought, lustful thoughts kept arising in his heart.

It was just that he had forgotten this when he counterattacked, and now the posture was a bit awkward.

But this final lunge seemed to have exhausted all his strength. He tried to get up but failed, instead bumping against her heavily again.

"You!"

"I'm really sorry, I truly have no strength left."

Hao Jinghan tried to push him away, but she was no better off now. Halfway through the push, her arms went limp, and Zhao Xiaoshuai was forced to bump against her heavily again.

Time and again, this caused her, who had no experience in such matters, to feel flustered, and she lost even more strength.

Fortunately, this wasn't in some private place; the students watching nearby immediately rushed over and separated the two.

'A bunch of meddlesome brats! It's been so long and they still haven't gone home—what kind of show are they watching!'

Zhao Xiaoshuai was reluctantly helped to the side to sit on the ground and rest, while Hao Jinghan was also helped by a few female students to lean against the wall.

Hao Jinghan also knew the other party hadn't done it on purpose, and her shame and annoyance came and went quickly.

"If I hadn't been reluctant to truly hurt you, you would have been down long ago. So, you can't count this as winning against me!"

Seeing that the other party only cared about winning or losing and had no intention of holding him accountable for the earlier offense, Zhao Xiaoshuai secretly thought that this girl was also interested, and happily replied:

"Of course, I relied on my thick skin to wear you out, which is an unfair victory. Besides, I really learned a lot today, and I have to thank you."

"Hmph, you're sensible enough. With these injuries of yours, I reckon you'll need to rest for a week. Come back next week, and I'll continue to teach you."

"That won't be necessary. Tomorrow I'll show you how lively I can be."

After resting for five or six minutes, Zhao Xiaoshuai had recovered a bit of strength. He stood up, walked to Hao Jinghan, and reached out his hand.

Hao Jinghan's eyes widened, 'What kind of monster is this! His stamina is too good, even the few elite soldiers I've met in the past were only about this level!'

The stubborn Hao Jinghan slapped away the hand Zhao Xiaoshuai offered to help her up. "Wait until you sleep and you'll know the pain. You ignorant brat, if you can still stand up tomorrow, I'll serve you tea and water to apologize!"

Hao Jinghan struggled to get up, but after taking a few steps, she felt it wasn't going well, so she reluctantly sat on a chair and tried hard to straighten her back.

"You said it yourself, then I'll wait for you to serve me tea tomorrow."

"Hmph, what if you can't come?"

"Then I'll immediately serve you tea and water and take you as my master."

"It's a deal!"

After resting for another ten minutes, Zhao Xiaoshuai finally got up to go home. Today was the first time he had been completely exhausted.

And Hao Jinghan, finally seeing Zhao Xiaoshuai leave, suddenly slumped over, lying on the table, not wanting to move a single finger.

She managed to make a phone call, "Hey, Xiaogang, come pick up your sister and take her home."

"Huh? Nothing happened to me, I'm just a bit tired."

"Why do you talk so much? Just come when I tell you to. If you nag any more, late... tomorrow, see how I deal with you."

After hanging up the phone, she looked in the direction Zhao Xiaoshuai had left, not noticing the smile that unconsciously appeared on her face:

"It's been a long time since I've had such a satisfying fight."
