The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 189 Challenge Begins

Edited by: pnemnn

When it came to fighting, Zhou Yu was a little nervous, especially when the opponent was this kind of person who seemed to have practiced a lot. The expression of the young man was very serious, and his eyes were full of desire to fight. With just an eye contact, Zhou Yu felt that he had already lost.

Alas, the gap in strength was too big. However, this fight could not be avoided. From the eyes of Bubu, he could clearly see that it wanted the manual very much.

For this, Bubu was constantly encouraging him to fight on the side, “It’s alright. It’s just a duel, with me guiding you on the side, there’s no way you’ll lose. As long as you get this Lance Manual and give it to the Flying Bird Knight Regiment, your contribution will be enough to set up a Sky Knight’s Academy, so that those, who have no profession in the village could be trained there, and then we will have a new batch of flying bird knights.”

It turned out that the unemployed villagers could study in school. Although it was certain that the probability of getting a good knight from it was very low, sometimes the number was also a very important thing.

For special buildings like sky knight’s academy, its building plan could only be issued with the consent of the headquarters of Starlight Knights and neither the Gashapon machine nor the vending machine had its building plan.

Similar to the Sky Knight’s Academy, there were Earth Knight’s Academy and Ocean Knight’s Academy, all of which were very rare. These were just combating troops. Luhua village was also very short of actors, there was also an Acting Academy, in which villagers could be trained to become actors.

Although the probability of getting idols from the Acting Academy was also very low, the general extras could be trained there. After all, if Luhua village wanted to shoot their own animated films, in addition to the main actors, it also needed a lot of extras, which was also a necessary condition.

The temptation of a special building plan was very big, but Zhou Yu wanted to pursue something better. He then pointed to the boy and said to the old monk, If I win, the boy will stay in the amusement park. I want to train him to be my martial arts instructor.”

The old man was in a daze for a second when he heard this. Perhaps he did not understand what a martial arts instructor was. So Zhou Yu continued to explain, “Do you know animated movies? The martial arts movements in those movies need professional guidance. I see this boy has a good talent in this field, so he can learn from me.”

The old monk also wanted to ask him to take care of the young man for him at the beginning. This was the reason why he asked the young man to challenge Zhou Yu. He wanted to test if the technique Zhou Yu learned came from the same martial art sect. If it were indeed from the same sect, then they would be considered as senior and junior brothers. So naturally, they would need to take care of each other.

Hearing there was a disturbance and Zhou Yu was involved in it, Zhou Fu also came quickly. He then heard that Zhou Yu, again, wanted to invite another young man to join his team. And for this invitation, he even took the initiative to put forward the conditions for the duel, which was unprecedented.

Was this boy really capable of that?

Well, at least, Zhou Fu could not see it.

Maybe the boy’s kungfu skill was good. But there were already quite a few people who knew kungfu, however, not all of them could become martial arts instructors. Before, that girl’s kungfu skill was also very good, but Zhou Yu only offered the position of a music producer. So what exactly were his recruitment criteria?

Zhou Fu really wanted to question Zhou Yu’s ability to spot a talented person. But truth be told, Zhou Yu had already recruited two top animation teams, Beidou and Qin Zhuan, and his disciple Wu Yun had also shown great talent and had already become a master of toy making in the park. At the moment, she was training a group of apprentices and producing all the goods that were needed for a handicraft workshop.

Since this was the case, Zhou Fu did not want to say anything and only wanted to see if the boy could really be trained.

After a while, the old monk shook his head and said, “whether Xiao Bao wants to stay or not depends on his own will. I can’t decide for him. But if Xiao Bao were meant to stay here, then I will advise him to stay, no matter what happens.”

Unfortunately, Zhou Yu was not able to recruit him directly. The predestined relationship that the old monk said, Zhou Yu did not understand it at all, but it seemed like he also needed to wait and see how it would progress.

A duel was hence decided, and the fighting ground was the place where the security guards usually did their exercise. The place was very big and there were a lot of people watching them. Basically, all the people, who had heard this news and were free, were all here. They all wanted to see the real strength of the little boss.

From the incident that happened at the gourmet street that day, everyone in the park knew that the little boss was actually a hidden kungfu master. The fight he had with that girl was also extremely awesome. However, not many people witnessed that fight personally. They just heard people talking about it and saw the videos that the visitors of the park had uploaded online. However, it was still not as good as witnessing it personally.

Now that they could finally see it, how could they miss it again?

Since the duel was hosted in the park, almost all the cheers were for Zhou Yu. Based on this, Zhou Yu had a great advantage. However, Zhou Yu was not confident because standing opposite him, Xiao Bao, who had been accustomed to fight, was staring at him calmly as if a predator marked its prey.

Zhou Yu could easily learn martial arts with the help of the brain energy value, but the mental state of a martial artist could not be learned. If from the actual combat perspective, unless the strength gap was very big, Zhou Yu would not likely win because he did not have the fighting spirit of martial arts or athletes.

It was a type of spirit that would make one person do anything to win the fight.

For Zhou Yu, who had a soft personality and had not enough fighting experiences, it was already a huge breakthrough to face his opponent directly. The courage he got from the fallen knight was not enough to give him the will to fight other people to death.

Bubu also knew about this. So it told Zhou Yu very clearly that his weakness was a protracted fight, so if he fought with others, he must seize the opportunity to attack first and try to win in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, once he was trapped in a state of stalemate, his weakness would be exposed. At that time, he would definitely be defeated.

So, when the two sides were ready, Zhou Yu launched the attack first. Regardless of what happened, Zhou Yu used the continuous lance lunge technique that Bubu taught him to strive to form an absolute suppression.

The storm-like lance lunge completely impressed the bystanders. Those who did not know anything about the lance technique only thought that it looked very impressive and the little boss looked very badass. They all clapped their hands cheering for their little boss because they thought that the little boss had the upper hand of the fight. However, in the eyes of the old monk and Bubu, it was a completely different view.

If it were ordinary people, this kind of attack would have already broken their defense but Xiao Bao was able to withstand the attack, and as if he knew the lance technique very well, no matter what kind of tricks Zhou Yu used, he would be able to see through them immediately.

Sure enough, the techniques they used were all from the same sect.

This was the conclusion of both Bubu and the old monk. After the old monk saw Zhou Yu’s lance technique, he was even more sure that the technique he used was a variation of the manual he had. And Bubu could also tell from Xiao Bao’s relaxed moves that unless he was already familiar with this skill. Otherwise, it was absolutely impossible for him to be so relaxed.

The people outside the fighting zone were having different thoughts but Zhou Yu was feeling very anxious.

What was wrong with this world? Why was every dazzling person he saw were all very good at martial arts? Because he was in the wrong first, he did not use his full strength when he fought with Tan Xiuran, but now he obviously had already used all his strength. However, he still could not break through the young man’s defense. It meant that he was clearly no match for the young man.

And It also meant that he would be beaten up by the young man very soon.

OH, God Nooo…
