Chapter 0593: Before the Martial Arts Competition

A new day began its unfolding.

Lang Yifeng built the fighting stage overnight and sent several messages to Luo Yang.

Only after powering on his device did Luo Yang see the messages.

Some time ago, Luo Yang had set out to construct a vegetable greenhouse, which was now also completed.

In the morning, Fang Lin asked Luo Yang what vegetables he planned to plant. Luo Yang instructed Fang Lin to find out which vegetables paired best with the seafood shop offerings and then plant those.

All the beauties were intrigued to hear about Luo Yang's upcoming martial arts duel.

The news of the duel quickly spread throughout the village, and by noon, all the villagers of the Hongyun Brigade were aware.

In the past, Luo Yang had defeated a strong Japanese contender at the County Sports Center, and the villagers had all heard about it.

However, many villagers had not personally witnessed Luo Yang's exceptional skills and strength.

Now with the chance to see it live, all villagers had prepared their stools and sunflower seeds, ready to thoroughly enjoy Luo Yang's kung fu.

Just as lunchtime was approaching, Luo Yang received a call from Qi Xiangtian.

All Qi Xiangtian could be heard saying, evidently unable to wait to arrive at the Hongyun Brigade, was, "Is the stage ready?"

"Just waiting for you guys now," replied Luo Yang.

The day was sunny and pleasant, and although the sunshine was intense, the afternoon would be much cooler with the breeze.

"Then, after lunch, we'll head down there. The Hongyun Brigade, right?" Qi Xiangtian asked.

"Right."

With only a brief exchange, the call ended.

Qi Dongqiu was coming fully prepared, and Luo Yang wasn't sure if he could defeat him.

Having sparred with Luo Yang before, Qi Xiangtian would undoubtedly have shared the situation with Qi Dongqiu, yet Qi Dongqiu still insisted on coming to fight.

From this, Luo Yang was certain that Qi Dongqiu had full confidence in winning.

Otherwise, what kind of fool would be in such a hurry to rush to their death?

It was known that Qi Xiangtian and Luo Yang had agreed to a rule where "fighters could fight to the death."

During lunch, seeing Luo Yang's serious expression, all the beauties expressed their concern for him.

"Niu Zai, don't fight with him," An Yuying advised.

"Sister An, it's just a duel; it's no big deal," Luo Yang said with a laugh.

Among the beauties present, probably only Zhang Jing was keen on seeing Luo Yang meet King Yan sooner rather than later.

Luo Yang had not told the beauties about the "fight to the death" rule.

Had they known, they would likely have been even more worried.

The last time at the County Sports Center was an official competition with referees, and killing was generally not allowed.

This time, it seemed there would be no referees. Once on stage, it would just be a straightforward brawl.

Fists have no eyes, and it's very easy to hurt someone.

Luo Yang's only concern was that if something happened to him, there would be nobody to take care of Hong Jiaxin.

After eating, Luo Yang called Hong Jiaxin outside the house.

Standing on the village path, Luo Yang said, "Squad leader, if I'm no longer able to take care of you, go to Sister Kick immediately and have her take you to Sister Chen's place."

Blinking her eyes, Hong Jiaxin's voice was slightly husky as she asked, "Where are you going?"

She didn't quite understand Luo Yang's meaning.

In Hong Jiaxin's eyes, this young master was quite capable.

So, in her mind, Luo Yang would win the duel against anyone.

Upon hearing Luo Yang's words, she thought he was going away on a long trip for business.

In reality, Luo Yang wasn't fully confident of winning, either.

Though he had some chance of victory, in a life-or-death duel, it was indeed difficult to predict who would win or lose.

He had never crossed fists with his opponent before and had no idea how skilled the fellow was.

If there was some terrifying special move at play, Luo Yang could not guarantee his own survival.

He had promised to protect Hong Jiaxin well, and if something happened to him, he needed to entrust her care to someone else.

"A very beautiful place," Luo Yang said with a wry smile.

Luo Yang wasn't actually sure whether Hell was beautiful or not.

Hearing this, Hong Jiaxin raised her eyebrows slightly and spoke with a hint of irritation, "If you find me a burden, then I don't need your protection. I'll leave right now!"

With that, she turned around, fuming, intending to go pack her bags.

"Squad leader, listen to me."

Luo Yang stepped forward.

"If you have something to say, then say it quickly!" Hong Jiaxin chided coquettishly.

"You look pretty today."

Baring a grin, Luo Yang sincerely expressed.
