Chapter 194 - 194 194 Well Done
?Chapter 194: Chapter 194 Well Done Chapter 194: Chapter 194 Well Done Even when Bo Xiangxiang asked for help, Ji Xinghang had never indulged her, let alone now.
“Let’s do it.”
He glanced at Bo Xiangxiang and arrogantly lifted his chin, “Just watch carefully.”
He then tip-toed and leaped onto the martial arts platform.
He greeted a young man with a fist salute, “Please enlighten me!”
Watching Ji Xinghang’s action, everyone was stunned.
It turns out Top Star Ji really had some impressive skills, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to leap onto the stage directly.
The young man also performed the same gesture, saluting with his hands after getting on the stage, “Please enlighten me!”
Then, the two of them started fighting with long spears.
Not only were the people under the stage flabbergasted, but the live stream viewers were as well.
Their fight was indeed spectacular.
[No wonder Top Star Ji harshly criticized Bo Xiangxiang, saying she insulted martial arts; I thought it was a bit too much at first, but now I suddenly understand him.]
[Yeah, after seeing Ji Xinghang and the handsome guy, I realize this is what real combat looks like. Bo Xiangxiang’s performance was laughable.]
[If we don’t compare, Bo Xiangxiang’s could barely be watchable, but once you compare, it’s just too showy.]
[And she even led everyone to get started; how could Bo Xiangxiang dare to say that earlier?]
[I saw she was quite unconvinced after Vice Dean Guo spoke.]
[She has such a thick face, now let her see what real martial arts are.]
[I must say, Ji Xinghang’s martial arts demonstration is really worth watching.]
[Xingzai wielding the long spear is so cool, I’m in love!]
Ji Xinghang, who had practiced martial arts since he was young under a teacher who had been a martial arts champion for many consecutive sessions, was a true expert.
Moreover, because Ji Xinghang enjoyed martial arts and trained diligently, he was more skilled than the young man.
About twenty moves later, he slapped the young man’s arm with his long spear, causing the opponent’s spear to fly off.
The young man was not annoyed and smiled, “I concede!”
Ji Xinghang smiled and responded, “Thank you for the match!”
“Good!” Vice Dean Guo exclaimed.
Then he asked Ji Xinghang, “Are you skilled with the long sword too?”
Ji Xinghang replied, “Quite decent.”
Vice Dean Guo pointed at a young girl and said, “Then how about you have a sword match with her?”
“She is the best among the disciples in the institute at wielding the sword,” he added.
The reason Vice Dean Guo wanted Ji Xinghang to have another duel with a sword was to let Bo Xiangxiang and the viewers of the live stream see what real sword fighting was.
Ji Xinghang, often lacking in emotional intelligence but high in intellect, guessed Vice Dean Guo’s intention right away.
“Alright!”
Soon, Ji Xinghang began his sword match with the young girl.
Their movements didn’t involve flashy poses, every strike was practical.
Although it wasn’t beautified like Bo Xiangxiang’s, it looked much more vigorous and exciting.
In the end, the young girl was defeated by Ji Xinghang.
This was somewhat unexpected by everyone.
However, it was precisely because of this, everyone understood more why he criticized Bo Xiangxiang previously.
Bo Xiangxiang’s complexion changed again; it seemed the label of being a show-off was going to stick to her.
It must be said, Bo Xiangxiang still understood the trends of the entertainment circle very well.
Before long, “Ji Xinghang, Martial Arts Expert” and “Bo Xiangxiang, Show-Off Expert” became trending topics.
Bo Xiangxiang always wanted to trend, but she hadn’t anticipated it would be in this way.
After three episodes, not only had she failed to stabilize her public persona, but she also repeatedly embarrassed herself.
His mentality had faltered at first, but then had recovered.
Being notorious was still a form of fame; she would eventually have her chance to turn things around.
Back at the event.
Ji Xinghang had won against two opponents, and Vice Dean Guo announced with a smile, “Ji has passed and can bring the others inside.”
The guests all clapped enthusiastically, “Teacher Ji, you were amazing!”
After Ji Xinghang stepped down, Luo Ning, who rarely complimented anyone, also praised him, “Well done!”
Following Ji Xinghang’s sharp tongue and face-slapping moments earlier, Bo Xiangxiang’s luck had been significantly reduced.
So when she said “Well done,” she really meant it.
After all, Luo Ning was aware of Ji Xinghang’s martial arts level and had expected him to pass the entry test.
But Ji Xinghang didn’t know this, and upon hearing Luo Ning’s praise, his stoic expression turned into a silly smile.
Ningning praised him, how wonderful!
Except for Bo Xiangxiang, everyone else was satisfied with the outcome.
Thus, they all entered the Martial Arts Institute to tour and broadcast live.
Ji Xinghang also sparred with some of the experts there.
Since Luo Ning and Lu Xun had both mentioned knowing some martial arts, the livestream was flooding with requests for them to spar.
Seeing this, the director also approached them with a smile, “Mr. Lu, Teacher Luo, the audience wants to see you show your skills.”
Hearing this, the others immediately chimed in, “Right, right, Mr. Lu, Little Ningning, show us something.”
Reluctantly, Luo Ning and Lu Xun had no choice but to go forward and spar with others in the Martial Arts Institute.
Both of their martial arts skills were not inferior to Ji Xinghang’s, and their performance received continuous cheers from the spectators.
[I didn’t expect Luo Ning to be skilled in martial arts too; she really kept it low-key and modest before.]
[Yeah, if it wasn’t for our request and the strong push from the director and guests, we wouldn’t have known she and God Lu were martial arts experts.]
[Compared to Bo Xiangxiang’s pretensions, I prefer someone like Luo Ning.]
[Daddy Luo is indeed Daddy Luo.]
Bo Xiangxiang had originally thought Luo Ning was just so-so, perhaps even not as good as her.
But after watching the sparring session, she was frustrated to death.
What on earth did this woman learn before? How does she know a bit of everything?
After leaving the Martial Arts Institute, the production team led everyone to the Ceramic Institute.
The entrance exam there involved recognizing ceramics, not just modern pieces but also ancient ones.
The people who had to take the exam had to identify the craftsmanship of the displayed ceramics, the meaning behind the decorations, and their historical heritage.
Lu Xun only had a superficial understanding of this area, so everyone sent Luo Ning instead.
She didn’t disappoint; not only did she smoothly pass the entry test, she also enlightened everyone with extensive knowledge about ceramics.
However, this time, not many people were surprised as most knew she was a veteran in classical culture and had even studied archaeology.
Furthermore, they had grown indifferent to her broad knowledge, feeling it would be problematic if she didn’t know.
After successfully entering, the audience in front of the live broadcast witnessed a feast of ceramic art, particularly those ancient ceramics, which greatly enhanced everyone’s understanding of ceramic antiques.
After leaving the Ceramic Institute and as it was almost evening, everyone returned to their accommodations in National Treasure Town.
The guests and students didn’t face more challenges about earning their keep, as the director allowed them to relax.
Thus, dinner was courtesy of the production team at a characteristic restaurant in the town.
After dinner, Luo Ning went to the restroom.
Just as she came out, she encountered Bo Xiangxiang.
Bo Xiangxiang glared at her, “Don’t get too cocky, you’ll embarrass yourself sooner or later.”
Luo Ning, frustrated, stared back coldly, “If you’re sick, go to the hospital and get treated; don’t be crazy here, it’s embarrassing.”
Bo Xiangxiang retorted, “You!”
She displaced her anger from the incident in the Martial Arts Institute onto Luo Ning.
Overall, she was just resentful—why was it always Luo Ning who stole her spotlight? She was going insane.
