Boom boom boom!
Lonely Wolf’s fists rained down like a storm, repeatedly knocking down Goo Tengfeng, only for him to struggle back to his feet each ti. His gaze remained as resolute as ever.
"Pah!"
Goo Tengfeng spat out a mouthful of blood, his expression sowhat twisted, yet he sneered coldly, "Your punches are getting weaker. What’s wrong, can’t hit anymore?"
Having said that, Goo Tengfeng roared again and launched himself fiercely at Lonely Wolf.
"You fool!"
Rage surged in Lonely Wolf’s eyes. This guy was simply an undying cockroach!
"This ti I’ll break your legs and see how you manage to stand!"
Lonely Wolf snorted coldly, grabbed Goo Tengfeng’s neck, and struck down with a palm, hitting Goo Tengfeng’s thigh bone directly.
A miserable scream filled the air, followed by a "crack" as his bone broke. Goo Tengfeng nearly curled into a ball, the intense pain rendering him immobile.
"It ends here!"
A glint of cold light flashed in Lonely Wolf’s eyes. If not for Goo Tengfeng being the Young Master of the Goo Family Army, he wouldn’t dare truly go for the kill; otherwise, Goo Tengfeng would have long been dead.
Yet, he hadn’t expected Goo Tengfeng to be so tenacious, struggling bitterly despite his severe injuries.
"Hahaha..."
A flicker of frenzy appeared in the Fourth Prince’s eyes as he sneered, "Ling Feng, do you see? This is your captain, lying on the ground like a dead dog. What’s the point of hanging around such a bunch of useless people? Now, if you agree with this prince..."
Before the Fourth Prince could finish his sentence, a roar suddenly erupted from the stage. Goo Tengfeng threw a punch, pumling Lonely Wolf in the abdon, the force of which sent Lonely Wolf flying off the stage.
"This... This is impossible!"
The Fourth Prince’s pupils contracted sharply. Goo Tengfeng was clearly at the end of his strength; how could he have delivered such a punch, sending Lonely Wolf off the stage?
"Victory! Captain, you won!"
Ling Feng was the first to rush onto the stage, supporting Goo Tengfeng’s body as he infused a stream of Elental Power into him.
All the mbers of the Sky Peak Sword Team had long been unwilling to watch Goo Tengfeng get beaten around like a punching bag, but at Ling Feng’s shout, each turned incredulous eyes towards the stage.
Victory, Goo Tengfeng actually won, knocking that Lonely Wolf from the Royal Sword Team off the stage with a single punch!
According to the rules of the Swordman contest, falling off the stage or admitting defeat equates to losing.
This battle, Goo Tengfeng won!
"Haha, the captain won!"
Jiang Xiaofan, Gong Cheng, Lin Mochen, Ye Nanfeng, Yuu Sixian...
All mbers of the Sky Peak Sword Team rushed up to the stage. They won; their captain really won.
Even the usually aloof Lee Bufan had a smile tugging at his lips, a tear unknowingly rolling down from his eye.
"Captain, is this the perseverance you’ve always had? I understand now."
Lee Bufan, clutching his Long Sword, stood aside, eyeing the Fourth Prince and his cohort cautiously, lest they refuse to acknowledge their defeat.
Lonely Wolf, after being sent flying off the stage, stood dazed for fifteen minutes before clutching his chest with disbelief in his eyes.
The next mont, he hurried in front of the Fourth Prince, kneeling and kowtowing for rcy, "Prince, I... I didn’t expect Goo Tengfeng to actually break through to the Origin Transformation Realm at the last mont. That final strike, I... I was taken by surprise!"
"You incompetent fool!"
The Fourth Prince’s wrath knew no bounds. Raising his palm, he wished nothing more than to strike Lonely Wolf dead.
"Your Highness, please think thrice."
A slightly older man beside him hurriedly knelt to intercede for Lonely Wolf, "With the match approaching, even if Lonely Wolf made a mistake, he can be spared a life to redeem himself during the match."
This person was Xuanyuan Pozhen, the most senior and strongest mber of the Royal Sword Team.
At tis like this, only he had a bit of say before the Fourth Prince.
"Hmph!" The Fourth Prince cast Xuanyuan Pozhen a glance, swished his sleeve, and said coldly, "Lonely Wolf, this ti, I’ll spare you. Make another mistake, and there will be no rcy!"
"Thank you, Prince, thank you, Brother Pozhen!" Only then did Lonely Wolf breathe a sigh of relief, barely escaping death.
"Serve the Prince well to redeem yourself in the future."
Xuanyuan Pozhen nodded slightly at Lonely Wolf, and glanced at the stage, showing a hint of admiration for Goo Tengfeng.
This Goo Tengfeng was indeed a man of iron.
"Ling Feng, consider yourself lucky this ti. But since you’ve chosen to oppose this prince, let’s wait and see. The match in three days will be quite a spectacle!"
The Fourth Prince glared coldly at Ling Feng on stage, swished his sleeve, and said harshly, "Let’s go!"
Soon, the Fourth Prince’s entourage left the training ground.
This guy truly was a prince who kept his word.
"Cough cough..."
Goo Tengfeng spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face breaking into a smile as he struggled to say, "How about it, I... I won, am I aweso?"
"Aweso, truly aweso!"
Ling Feng grasped Goo Tengfeng’s hand. His injuries were truly severe, compounded by his forced breakthrough at the last mont, which nearly amounted to self-destruction of his foundation.
Originally, Goo Tengfeng had a chance to break through the Sixty-four ridian Gates, but now, having only opened Sixty-three ridians to forcibly advance to the Origin Transformation Realm, he hadn’t fully tapped his potential.
His sacrifice was truly imnse.
Tears welled in the eyes of everyone, especially Gong Cheng, who had been a longti friend of Goo Tengfeng, sharing struggles and deep brotherhood.
Only he could fully understand Goo Tengfeng’s intentions.
"Boss Goo, heal well; Ling Feng’s dical skills are amazing—you will definitely... definitely get better!" Gong Cheng’s voice was choked with emotion.
"I... I never... doubted... doubted that."
Goo Tengfeng said, smiling with difficulty, "But, three... three days from now, I... I fear I cannot... participate."
"You can, Boss Goo. You’ve waited for so many years; you certainly can! You definitely can!" Gong Cheng grasped Goo Tengfeng’s hand, weeping bitterly.
"It doesn’t... doesn’t matter anymore. I’ve... I’ve already defeated the Royal Sword Team once. The rest... is up to you, my... good brother!"
With that, Goo Tengfeng’s consciousness gradually faded until he finally passed out.
Ling Feng quickly pinpointed several spots on Goo Tengfeng’s back, setting his bones right. His internal and external injuries were severe enough to keep him bedridden for the rest of his life.
Fortunately, with Ling Feng’s miraculous dical skills, complete recovery was assured, but having broken through to the Origin Transformation Realm, he no longer had the chance to open the Sixty-fourth ridian or surpass the second Heavenly Chasm. His future achievents would certainly face so limitations.
All of this was Goo Tengfeng’s sacrifice for everyone, a mory all would surely keep in their hearts.
Embodying their captain’s resolve, they are determined to utterly defeat the Royal Sword Team in the final match in three days!
