Chapter 664: Chapter 338: Piaoxiang Yuan: The More You Look Down on Me, the More Determined I Become

When Piaoxiang Yuan saw this, he felt like he was walking on air.

Opportunities to be in the spotlight like this were rare, and he excitedly flexed his arm. "See this fist? I wonder if Chen Jincheng can even block a single punch from me."

Yijin and the others exchanged glances, then immediately started cheering in unison.

"Yeah, amazing!"

"So strong!"

"..."

Watching from the sidelines, Ah Nao the Young Scholar felt that Piaoxiang Yuan was being played for a complete fool. ’He’s totally lost in the adulation, just like tourists who get swept up by street vendors constantly calling them "handsome!"’

Yijin left soon after. He hadn’t expected Piaoxiang Yuan to be so cooperative. Videos of a buffoon like this would definitely attract a huge wave of attention.

The moment he got back to his studio, he had his team upload all the videos to Tiao Yin.

Before long, fueled by the hype, the videos were seen by more and more people.

Seriously, a lot of people were dumbfounded when they saw the videos, especially the one of Piaoxiang Yuan demonstrating Jeet Kune Do.

’He looks just like a buffoon, doesn’t he?’

Seriously, anyone could tell that the person filming...

...

「Time passed.」

When Chen Jincheng woke up the next day, he was stunned to see the early morning trending topics.

Piaoxiang Yuan’s Jeet Kune Do

’This guy can get on the trending list all by himself?’

He clicked on it and was floored.

’This is Jeet Kune Do?’

’Where did this guy get the nerve?’

The comment section was also full of people roasting him.

Chen Jincheng thought about it. ’In his previous life, this guy was the type to get tricked into taking a beating on stage. He just has no self-awareness. He’s the kind of person who genuinely believes a little amateur practice is enough to challenge a professional for their livelihood.’

’When other people talked about fighting Yilong, it was just for clout. But this guy genuinely thinks he could take Yilong down. He actually dares to get on stage because he believes he has the skill.’

’People like that aren’t rare in the real world.’

’And Piaoxiang Yuan is definitely a prime example of the type.’

Meanwhile, in his hotel room, Piaoxiang Yuan was ecstatic. His follower count had jumped by another 300,000 overnight, breaking the 1.5 million mark.

With more and more followers, he felt even more like he was floating on air.

His wife, however, instinctively tried to warn him. "Honey, a lot of people are roasting you for the Jeet Kune Do you demonstrated yesterday. They’re saying your form is terrible, and some are even calling you a dumbass!"

Ah Nao the Young Scholar, sitting nearby, was afraid Piaoxiang Yuan would be affected by the online comments and quickly interjected, "They’re just jealous of you, Piaoxiang Yuan. I mean, you have 1.5 million followers now. Besides, what the hell do they know? Is martial arts about looking pretty? It’s about power and speed! Pretty poses are for dancing, not fighting."

"Piaoxiang Yuan’s fists have real power. If an opponent threw a punch at me, I wouldn’t dare try to block it."

Hearing this, Piaoxiang Yuan was on cloud nine again and immediately agreed. "Ah Nao is right. Those people are just jealous of me. Why should I care about them? Let’s get some breakfast and then head to the sports hall!"

Soon, Piaoxiang Yuan headed out, only to find that people from Martial Arts Wind had come to the hotel specifically to greet him.

This made him feel incredibly important.

"Mr. Piaoxiang Yuan, we were sent to pick you up. Please let me know if you need anything," a staff member from Martial Arts Wind said, stepping forward with an enthusiastic invitation.

"Thank you for the trouble. Take me to the sports hall," Piaoxiang Yuan said with an air of importance.

"This way, please." The staffer hurriedly ushered him into the car.

The staffer only breathed a sigh of relief once the car was moving. The people at Martial Arts Wind had all seen the trending videos that morning and concluded that the man was just a clout-chasing show-off.

And with so many people mocking him, they were genuinely worried he might back out and refuse to get in the ring.

After all, they were already checking tickets at the sports hall. Over 20,000 people had shown up to watch this fight. If one of the main event fighters didn’t show, the resulting uproar would be a massive problem.

’It’s a good thing we’ve got him now. Plus, he seems completely unaffected by the news online. What a mindset. His mental fortitude is incredible.’

’Well, at least this way they didn’t have to worry about him backing out and running off.’

The car soon arrived at the West District Sports Hall.

When Piaoxiang Yuan and the staff from Martial Arts Wind entered the sports hall, he was shocked to find it was packed with people.

It truly startled him. He had never seen a scene like this before. ’Are this many people really here to watch my fight with Chen Jincheng?’

Aside from the casual onlookers, the vast majority of people in the sports hall were Chen Jincheng’s fans. Those who had managed to buy tickets had flocked here from all the nearby cities.

At that moment, these fans naturally spotted Piaoxiang Yuan as he entered.

Guo Feng stared at Piaoxiang Yuan’s short stature. ’I really don’t understand where this guy gets the nerve to challenge Chen Jincheng.’

’Is being the number one fitness blogger on the internet a joke to him?’

Just then, he heard a wave of boos erupt. He smiled and immediately joined in, adding his own boos to the chorus.

In that instant, the boos were deafening, loud enough to tear the roof off the sports hall.

It was all aimed at Piaoxiang Yuan.

Anyone else booed by such a massive crowd would surely be scarred by it, or at least get angry.

But Piaoxiang Yuan’s face was filled with fighting spirit.

’I know these people are all Chen Jincheng’s fans,’ he thought. ’They’re just trying to mess with my head.’

’I won’t fall for it.’

’In fact, the more they boo, the harder I’m going to beat Chen Jincheng today.’

’What’s that saying? The more everyone looks down on you, the more determined you are to prove them wrong.’

’The eventual upset will get me even more attention.’

’Besides, Chen Jincheng set this whole thing up with me just to generate some hype. He has no idea I’m not just acting, does he? I’m playing for real.’
