77: Chapter 77 Wounded

Hearing the sound, the few drunks subconsciously turned back to look.

They saw a lean young man standing at the entrance of the alley.

By the faint light, Xu Dongqing struggled to make out the newcomer's face.

It seemed to be the same boy who had played the Piano in public today.

"You are no match for them! Run!"

"Go back to school and call security!"

Xu Dongqing shouted at Lin Yi.

As expected of someone who had trained in combat, she was able to make the calmest judgment in such a situation.

There were seven drunks on the scene, while Lin Yi was alone.

Looking at his frail appearance, if a real fight started, he would end up either dead or crippled.

And going back to school to call for help was the most rational solution.

But after hearing this, Lin Yi remained unmoved, still standing there, staring fixedly at them.

"You have already been surrounded by me!"

"Let her go, and I might let you leave here on your own two feet."

Hearing Lin Yi's words, the drunks burst into laughter.

"Aren't you overestimating yourself?"

"With those thin arms and legs, you want to play the hero saving the beauty?"

"Boys, take him out first!"

The drunks had actually sobered up a bit; they knew that if they really let Lin Yi go back to school to call for help, they would definitely be in big trouble.

The best solution was to leave one person to watch the girl while the others took care of Lin Yi first.

The others exchanged glances, instantly understanding, and charged toward Lin Yi.

Seeing this, Lin Yi rubbed his forehead.

"Why does no one ever listen when I speak..."

At this moment, one drunk had already charged in front of Lin Yi, his sandbag-sized fist aiming straight for Lin Yi's face.

Lin Yi dodged sideways and delivered a whip kick, slamming it hard into the drunk's face.

An inch longer, an inch stronger.

A leg is definitely longer than an arm.

Before the drunk's fist could hit Lin Yi, Lin Yi's instep had already kicked the side of the drunk's face.

It was the exact same move as Xu Dongqing's whip kick, but with several times the power.

The drunk, struck by this massive impact, flew sideways.

He hit the ground with a thud, let out a muffled groan, and clutched his face and right ribs, his face contorted in pain.

Seeing this, the others involuntarily slowed down.

"Damn it... grab your weapons!"

These guys were clearly not good people; they were actually carrying butterfly knives.

They flicked their knives, and the sharp, cold-glinting blades appeared in their hands.

"Attack!"

"Ding, detected that the host is in danger. Current win rate is 95%."

"Do you need to spend 20 points to upgrade your physical fitness level to Level 7?"

Lin Yi weighed the options quickly.

A 95% win rate was considered very high.

At the very least, winning against them shouldn't be a problem.

He only had 31 points in total right now; spending 20 points at once felt a bit painful.

"System, I will not upgrade my physical fitness level!"

"Ding, host's intention detected."

"Good luck, host!"

Hearing the system's dry blessing, Lin Yi curled his lip.

By now, the drunks had surrounded Lin Yi.

Lin Yi dodged a knife with a side-step and smashed a fist into one person's stomach.

The man's stomach instantly caved in with a terrifying indentation.

He spat out a mouthful of bile and collapsed to the ground, clutching his stomach.

Lin Yi didn't pause at all, delivering another side elbow strike that sent another man flying.

Amidst the flashing blades, Lin Yi dodged and wove like a ghost.

One punch, one kick.

As long as the drunks were hit by Lin Yi at close range, they instantly collapsed to the ground in agony.

In a few fleeting moments, all six were knocked flat on the ground by Lin Yi.

Only the last person controlling Xu Dongqing remained.

Lin Yi walked toward him slowly, his eyes cold.

"I'll say it one more time, let her go!"

The drunk locked Xu Dongqing's neck from behind, trembling as he held the small knife toward Lin Yi.

"Don't come any closer!"

"If you come closer, I will... I will slash her face!"

Hearing this threat, Xu Dongqing, who had been controlled all this time, seemed to have been touched on her reverse scale.

For a girl, the face is the most precious thing.

Taking advantage of the moment the drunk raised the knife at Lin Yi, Xu Dongqing suddenly grabbed the drunk's hand firmly and erupted with astonishing strength.

With a cool over-the-shoulder throw, she tossed the drunk to the ground like a dead dog.

Lin Yi rushed forward in a stride, kicked the knife out of the drunk's hand, and punched him until he passed out.

"Are you alright?" Lin Yi asked with concern.

"Ding, detected that the host is talking to a member of the opposite sex."

"The host's current heart-throb value is 20 points, meeting the binding conditions."

"Binding successful!"

"Xu Dongqing... why does this name sound a bit familiar?"

"Oh right, it seems to be that pretentious guy Xu Ziyang's older sister!"

Lin Yi thought for a long time before he remembered the name.

He didn't expect Xu Ziyang to have such a good-looking sister.

And this favorability was really high; it started at 35 points.

Another natural cashback tool!

"I'm fine..."

Xu Dongqing brushed the hair from her forehead and patted the dust off her body.

...

At this moment, the sound of police sirens rang out at the intersection.

Lin Yi had already called the police when he got out of the car.

He didn't expect the police to arrive so quickly.

Lin Yi took off the dashcam and handed it to the police.

The whole process just now had been recorded by the dashcam.

After watching it, the police understood the whole sequence of events.

Following standard procedure, they took Lin Yi and Xu Dongqing back to the police station to make a statement, and the drunks were also taken in.

...

"You're injured?"

After coming out of the police station, Xu Dongqing noticed a bloodstain on Lin Yi's back.

"No wonder my back was hurting a bit..."

Lin Yi walked to the glass, took off his shirt to check, and saw a small cut on his back.

It must have been from when he was fighting those guys.

Now that it was pulled, the wound hurt even more, making Lin Yi grimace in pain.

"It seems I can't be overconfident in the future... a 95% win rate is so unreliable..."

Lin Yi sighed.

He thought to himself that his fighting skills were still not up to par.

"Let me take you to the hospital to get bandaged; this wound needs to be disinfected as soon as possible!"

Xu Dongqing's eyes were full of concern.

Lin Yi nodded; in this situation, he would probably need a tetanus shot.

So he took out the car keys and handed them to Xu Dongqing.

"Senior, I'm afraid I can't drive in this state; I'll have to trouble you."

Xu Dongqing took the keys and helped Lin Yi into the passenger seat.

"What trouble? When it comes down to it, you were injured because you were saving me."

Just moments ago, Xu Dongqing had been in despair; if Lin Yi hadn't stepped in to help, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Moreover, Lin Yi's superb fighting skills made Xu Dongqing's heart flutter.

As a combat enthusiast, what she liked most was someone with such good skills.

Xu Dongqing had never lacked pursuers, but she had publicly stated that only someone who could beat her was qualified to date her.

In her few years of university, quite a few boys had gone to the combat club to challenge Xu Dongqing, but not one had been able to win.

Until today, Xu Dongqing had finally met a boy who could meet her standards.

And this afternoon, this boy had also displayed Piano skills far surpassing the Music Club President.

He was truly capable of both literary and martial arts!

Xu Dongqing: Favorability + 10 points.

Current favorability: 45 points.
