One can only imagine how fiercely he would fight in this match.
Dao Shan’s popularity was too strong, packing the western arena with three layers of spectators inside and out. Everyone was emotional, and even with all his effort, old He couldn’t squeeze through.
He was desperate and started jumping up in the crowd, waving at Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao saw him and waved back.
“Come down!” old He gestured for her to come, and when Gu Jiao didn’t understand, he pointed at Dao Shan, then at her, and made a throat-slashing gesture.
The message was clear—He’ll kill you! Quickly get down!
Gu Jiao uttered an “Oh,” gestured an OK to him, and rushed to KO Dao Shan to move onto the next match.
Old He didn’t understand what that gesture meant, but Gu Jiao nodded at him. That must mean she understood, right?
The gongs and drums sounded, and the duel began!
All the people cheered feverishly: “Dao Shan! Dao Shan! Dao Shan!”
Dao Shan moved his neck, cracked his knuckles, and walked towards Gu Jiao with contempt.
Old He became anxious: “Why isn’t she coming down? Come down! Come down! Quick, come down—”
Alright, as you wish.
Gu Jiao tapped her toe lightly, soared elegantly like a wild goose, and smashed a punch down onto Dao Shan!
Dao Shan also showed his hammer-like fist—
Then there was a loud thump, and someone fell to the ground!
The cheering stopped abruptly, and the crowd gasped in shock!
The one on the ground was not the thin, small boy but the robust and formidable Dao Shan!
She had only thrown one punch!
As Dao Shan fell, Gu Jiao landed gracefully beside him, kneeling on one knee with her fist against the arena floor.
The arena was silent all around, and even old He was dumbstruck.
Could it be he was mistaken?
The one who fell, wasn’t it Young Master Gu?
How could Dao Shan be down? He hadn’t even fought yet, he, he, he… Old He pinched himself hard, tears welling up from the pain.
He finally accepted the fact that Dao Shan had been knocked down by Gu Jiao with a single punch.
Taking advantage of everyone’s shock, he squeezed through the crowd, came to the edge of the arena, and said to the martial judge, “Why aren’t you sounding the gong? She won! She won!”
Old He worried that Dao Shan had only stumbled and would get up to beat Gu Jiao down, urging for a quick end to the fight so that Dao Shan would not be able to attack again.
It turned out old He’s worries were unfounded.
After the martial judge sounded the gong, no amount of calling could awaken Dao Shan, and in the end, two workers of the Martial Arts Arena had to carry him off.
Old He was drenched in cold sweat.
This was too thrilling.
Afterward, Gu Jiao fought two more matches, facing opponents with less skill than Dao Shan and winning quite easily.
Three matches in one day were the limit for the Martial Arts Arena, and Gu Jiao could fight no more, so she sighed and stepped down from the stage.
She wasn’t fond of fighting, but it was currently the best way to regain her former strength. It was also a chance to make some silver on the side.
This time, few had bet on her, and the odds were high, but because of her low ranking, she received only a small portion, amounting to just ten taels of silver.
Gu Jiao wasn’t in a hurry.
She secured her silver, adjusted the mask on her face, and left the counting room.
“This kid isn’t bad,” Zhu Yun said with a smile.
Gu Jiao hadn’t planned on lingering in the Martial Arts Arena as she had promised young Jingkong to pick him up from Guozijian after school in the afternoon.
As she strode towards the exit of the Martial Arts Arena, a young man dressed as a guard approached her, blocking her path, “Young… ”
He seemed to want to say ‘Young Dominator’, but felt too embarrassed to utter such a name.
Grinding his teeth, he said, “Young Master, my young master invites you.”
Gu Jiao was about to refuse, but then she remembered her mute persona, and with no choice, took out her little book.
At that moment, she began to envy Gu Chengfeng’s voice-changing ability. Wouldn’t it be so much more convenient if she could speak like a man?
However, during this brief delay, Gu Jiao changed her mind.
She quickly wrote, “Silver.”
The guard was taken aback.
Gu Jiao wrote with extra seriousness, “No silver, no go. Appearance fee, ten taels.”
With orders from his young master to ensure Gu Jiao’s attendance, the guard reluctantly handed over ten taels.
Gu Jiao pocketed the silver and obligingly went along.
Unexpectedly, she found herself in another room adorned with gourds.
Gu Jiao had already made inquiries; such rooms typically belonged to top thirty experts on the leaderboard, although, of course, they could be obtained through certain special means.
