Return to the City: The Strongest King

30: Chapter 30 Unfavored 30: Chapter 30 Unfavored A group of people arrived on the fourth floor, which had several rooms, for practicing Taekwondo, boxing, and also for Sanda.

Miao Xuanxuan led Song Xiaodong straight into the Sanda room.

This space was a large hall of over one hundred square meters, with two small rooms on the side for changing clothes.

At that moment, Xiao Qiang had already changed into his Sanda clothing, followed by several robust young men, all of whom were looking at Song Xiaodong with hostility.

Xiao Qiang stepped forward to greet Song Xiaodong and Miao Xuanxuan.

He was no longer as angry as before but rather appeared delighted, saying to Miao Xuanxuan with a grin, “Xuanxuan, I’ve been waiting for you.”

“I’m not competing against you, so why are you waiting for me?” Miao Xuanxuan replied irritably.

Xiao Qiang laughed heartily and said, “I get it now, you just want to find a reason to dump him, right?

Don’t worry, I will not let you down and will beat him down directly.”

Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but frown; this guy was really full of himself to come up with such an idea, his skin was thick indeed.

Miao Xuanxuan also felt a headache coming on and said with irritation, “You’re thinking too much, the one who will be beaten to the ground will definitely be you.”

Xiao Qiang glanced at Song Xiaodong, curled his lip disdainfully, and said, “Him?

Maybe in twenty years.” Then clashing his fists together twice, he sneered at Song Xiaodong and said, “Kid, I’ll smash your head in a bit.”

Song Xiaodong smiled faintly, uninterested in dealing with this guy, and turned to say to Miao Xuanxuan, “It seems I’m lacking equipment.”

Miao Xuanxuan quickly responded, “Let’s go pick some out now, don’t mind him.”

The two quickly chose a set of Sanda clothing, which was essentially just a vest and shorts.

Miao Xuanxuan even specifically chose a red set for Song Xiaodong.

When Song Xiaodong went to change, Miao Xuanxuan’s friends gathered around her, all wearing worried faces.

“Xuanxuan, can he really do it?

Xiao Qiang is our Sanda coach here, you know how skilled he is, don’t you?”

“Exactly, not even three to five people can beat him, and your boyfriend doesn’t seem that strong.

How could he agree to such terms, has he gone mad?”

“Yeah, if you lose, you’re not really going to agree to be Xiao Qiang’s girlfriend, are you?”

“What’s there to be scared of, if you lose, so be it.

Even if you don’t agree, what can Xiao Qiang do, tie you up?”

Miao Xuanxuan, feeling quite vexed by everyone’s comments, said, “Who said he isn’t capable?

Just wait and see, my boyfriend is very impressive.”

Though she refused to admit defeat verbally, Miao Xuanxuan also had her doubts.

She only knew about Song Xiaodong’s abilities from what her father and sister had mentioned, and she was unclear if it was truly as remarkable as they had said.

As for how formidable Xiao Qiang was, she knew well.

That guy was strong as a bull, and on top of that, he had practiced Sanda for many years.

Normally, four or five people were no match for him.

“Hmph, if you dare to lose, it’s over between us.

But even if you lose, it doesn’t matter, I won’t agree to Xiao Qiang; what could he possibly do about it?” Miao Xuanxuan was already considering how to renege.

After changing, Song Xiaodong came out, and Miao Xuanxuan immediately ran over to him and whispered, “If you really can’t beat him, then admit defeat early on.”

Song Xiaodong looked at Miao Xuanxuan in surprise and said, “Then wouldn’t you have to be his girlfriend?”

Miao Xuanxuan tilted her chin up and said, “He wishes.

When the time comes, I’ll just default.

What’s he gonna do to me?”

“Pfft…” Song Xiaodong suddenly burst into laughter and said, “Then what’s the point of me fighting?”

Miao Xuanxuan quickly added, “Don’t say that.

What if you win?

There’s still some hope, right?

If you win, he can’t bother me anymore.

I’m just afraid you’ll get hurt by him, that’s why I told you to give up if you feel bad.

Anyway, I’ve always been a thorn in his side, at most he’ll just continue to be a thorn in mine.”

Song Xiaodong couldn’t help shaking his head and said, “It seems I’m not really expected to succeed.”

“Who said that?

I have confidence in you,” Miao Xuanxuan patted Song Xiaodong’s shoulder, showing a mischievous smile on her face.

“Alright, alright.” Song Xiaodong laughed and bumped his gloves together, walking straight to the edge of the ring, where he placed his hands and hopped onto the platform.

Cheers immediately erupted.

Miao Xuanxuan was extremely popular in the gym, and now that someone was challenging on her behalf, it stirred up everyone’s interest.

Nearly everyone in the gym rushed over to watch.

Xiao Qiang glared at Song Xiaodong with fierce eyes, revealing a ferocious smile and said, “Kid, I never imagined you’d actually have the guts to step up to the stage.”

Song Xiaodong shrugged his shoulders and replied, “Are you that good?”

“Am I that good?” Xiao Qiang was momentarily stunned and then burst into laughter, “You can ask anyone here.

Guys, he’s asking if I’m good.

You tell him.”

“Damn!

Is this kid an idiot?”

“Who doesn’t know that Xiao Qiang is the best fighter in our gym?”

“Exactly, what kind of silly question is that?”

“I think even without Xiao Qiang having to move, I could go up there and beat him into a pig’s head.”

The loudest cheers came from those who practiced Sanda with Xiao Qiang.

These people felt a sense of shared animosity because Xiao Qiang taught them Sanda.

Additionally, there were probably some who were envious of Song Xiaodong for being Miao Xuanxuan’s boyfriend—as she was the dream girl of countless young lads here.

Xiao Qiang had never won her over, so they always harbored fantasies, and now suddenly Song Xiaodong had emerged, shattering their dreams.

Song Xiaodong frowned, feeling that it was quite noisy, and said, “Alright then, since you’re so good, let’s begin.”

Xiao Qiang gestured with his hand to quiet the noise and said menacingly, “Come on, kid.

I’m going to beat you so badly even your grandma won’t recognize you.”

“A grown man constantly running his mouth, is that fun for you?” Song Xiaodong was even less patient.

Xiao Qiang’s face darkened with anger as he said, “Fine, let’s start!” The latter was directed towards a referee on the platform.

The referee immediately waved his hand and announced loudly, “Begin!”

Xiao Qiang didn’t take Song Xiaodong seriously at all; he dashed forward in a quick step, throwing a punch at Song Xiaodong’s face with a gust of power behind it.

The punch was indeed fast and looked powerful.

Xiao Qiang’s students were all excited, waiting to see Song Xiaodong beaten into a cowering mess.

This was a moment that would bring glory to their Sanda peers.
