Chapter 1718

ou step in, you'll see a plaque hanging right in the middle of the room. It reads "Shi Ya Ren He" in bold characters, with elegant calligraphy resembling flying phoenixes and dragons.Below the plaque...He originally thought he was a taekwondo prodigy, but in reality, he wasn't. He had simply put in a lot of time in that area. Only someone like Shangguan Nana could be called a genius; he was just average.

He dodged skillfully, turning Shangguan Nana's fierce attack into nothing but air. But his brow still throbbed slightly. He didn't need to think to know it was from when he had accidentally bumped against her earlier. Thankfully, his hair covered it up and it didn't look too bad.

Shangguan Nana also sighed in her heart. In three moves, except for the first one where he used his right hand to block her, taking a heavier impact, she had hardly gained any advantage.

This was absolutely impossible before, even for a leopard cat. After three moves, he would still be kneeling on one knee with his arms tied tightly to his back. Now, it's a bit beyond her expectations.

Looking at Shen Jue who was practically unscathed, she only had one thought in her mind at this moment: "I've met a worthy opponent."

Shen Jue stood behind her, his white clothes fluttering like a chivalrous swordsman from an ancient costume drama, his voice as refined and graceful as the sound of a zither. "It's my turn," he said softly in her ear.

Shangguan Nana felt her body reacted faster than her brain. A second or two after he finished speaking, she quickly turned around, her palms firmly supporting Shen Jian's left shoulder, circling around to his back, wanting to grab his right arm. But how could Shen Jian be so easily caught Before she could reach out, she found that her hand had been grabbed by him at some point.

Shen Jue's strength was terrifying. With just a tug on her arm, she felt like she was about to be flung away. She was naturally slender and light, fearing that if she wasn't careful, he would throw her away like garbage. However, Shen Jue didn't use his full strength; he only pinned her to the ground.

Shen Jue clearly wasn't using her full strength, which gave Shangguan Nana a chance. She quickly broke free from Shen Jue's hold and launched a swift attack at Shen Jue's back in a single move. The impact sent Shen Jue stumbling forward a few steps. Shangguan Nana then followed up with another leg kick, targeting his shoulder!

Although Shen Jue was facing away from her, he still knew her next move by instinct and the flow of air generated by her leg movements. He calculated the timing and quickly turned around when Shangguan Nana's leg was less than 15 centimeters away from him.

Shangguan Nana thought this leg would land, but he dodged it! Did this guy grow eyes on the back of his head Is he even human! He left her with nothing but an empty strike. Her leg whiffed, so she quickly used her left hand to brace herself and control her balance.

Shen Juan, this scoundrel, actually aimed for the hand she was using to support herself. He tugged at her wrist and brought her down. But Shangguan Nana was certainly not one to give up easily. Even though she was lying on the ground, her free right hand gripped his shoulder with all its might, dragging Shen Juan down with her so they both ended up kneeling on the floor.

One lying down, the other kneeling, this sparring session continued in such a bizarre manner.

The two people remained locked in their positions, neither willing to let go. It was as if the moment one of them relaxed their grip, the competition would be declared a loss for them.

After a moment of silence, Shen Jue was the first to speak: “Today, we truly are evenly matched.”

Shangguan Nana also smiled and said, "A match made in heaven!"

At that moment, their eyes met across the space between them. Sparks flew, like they were meeting for the first time again. Shana sat in her beloved Bentley, looking at Jian, who was leaning against her car window. Their gazes held a mix of disdain and contempt for each other.

Yet, there was something more in their eyes compared to before, like meeting a familiar stranger, the joy of encountering a worthy opponent. In fact, every move and counter-move was a test of who understood whom better. If I understand you, I comprehend you. Then your next move would be clearer to me than to yourself, and I could react with remarkable acuity based on my deductions.

"If I had known you were this capable, I wouldn't have let you get away with it." Shen Jue smoothed his clothes and fastened his belt again.

Shàngguān Nánnán sat cross-legged on the ground: “Even if you let me, I still wouldn't have gained any advantage. And in the end, you pinned me down anyway…”ies. She definitely saw that she wasn't as strong, so she became even more confident and filled with sarcasm towards her."Hey, what are you spacing out about" Shen Jué didn't know when she had already...
