Previously, Ren Jianren felt that he had lost to Yang Ming was because Yang Ming was acting shamelessly. It should be a proper duel, and yet Yang Ming took a brick to attack him. Do you think I cultivated the iron head?

The most annoying thing was that despite Yang Ming acting shamelessly with him as the victim, the audience supported Yang Ming! Ren Jianren was so angry that smoke almost puffed out from his seven orifices. He thought, Yang Ming, you are such a big cheater!

Bringing in deceit at the start with a stupid banner,
Punching at the Nanshan Nursing Home, Kicking at the Beihai Kindergarten
and the horizontal banner,
Breaking Brick Technique!


In fact, what he wanted to highlight was the
Breaking Brick Technique,
but he was confused by the two phrases
Punching at the Nanshan Nursing Home, Kicking at the Beihai Kindergarten
at the beginning. He did not pay attention to the horizontal banner, thinking that it was just Yang Ming’s trick and not take it seriously.
So, he suffered a loss on this. Yang Ming said several times that his own trick was the words written on the banner behind him, but Ren Jianren did not take it seriously. He thought Yang Ming was merely impressing the crowd.


It was not until later when even though Yang Ming said that he would use his ultimate move, Ren Jianren didn’t care. Hence, he was utterly defeated. Yang Ming used the brick to hit his head, causing his head to bleed terribly.
He was beaten up until this point, and yet the classmates watching the duel were still on Yang Ming’s side. However, it was not strange since Yang Ming did remind him many times before he made a move. Because he ignored it, who could he blame?
Even if Ren Jianren was not reconciled, he had to swallow the bitter end in his stomach. Why was he so unlucky? So this time, Ren Jianren would be extra careful of Yang Ming’s schemes.
He felt that his Kung Fu had no problem winning against Yang Ming. The main reason was that Yang Ming would pull out tricks. As long as he was well guarded, he could defeat Yang Ming.
He and Li Jiasheng discussed and decided to send an invitation to Yang Ming before the art festival began. The invitation was actually a challenge, but the challenge was worded in a more elegant manner and disguised as two people performing martial arts at the art festival.
Ren Jianren was the university’s Taekwondo Club President. Naturally, he had a close relationship with the Student Union and had the Student Union President’s phone number. Hence, Ren Jianren then called Xu Qianxing on the phone.
Xu Qianxing went out of the Song Jiang International Hotel. He felt that today was his most failed day. He completely lost his face. He didn’t know how to face Yang Ming and Lin Zhiyun in the future.
He opened his own Leopaard car door in a somewhat self-deprecating manner. He drove a car worth more than a hundred thousand to show off to Yang Ming. Thinking about it now made him feel ashamed.
The phone rang, and Xu Qianxing sighed. He didn’t want to answer initially, but when he saw that the number of the caller was Ren Jianren, the University Taekwondo Club President, he really couldn’t miss the call.
Although the prestige of the Taekwondo Club in the university could be described as taking a dive, they were not taken seriously. It was also an official university club organization. Ren Jianren, as the Student Union chairman, couldn’t be ignored, so Xu Qianxing picked up the phone.
Hello, this is Xu Qianxing.




President Xu, I’m Taekwondo Club’s Ren Jianren!
said Ren Jianren enthusiastically.

President Ren, hello. It’s already this late. Why are you looking for me?
It was already late at night; Xu Qianxing was not in the mood to talk to Ren Jianren now. He planned to take his time to have a quiet moment and calm down his emotions. It was too shameful today. He had to plan out how to pursue Lin Zhiyun in the future. The current way was definitely not working.
Therefore, he didn’t want to talk to Ren Jianren. He was about to brush him off with a few words and just end the call. Then, he would find some reason to hang up the phone. Xu Qianxing would make him talk about the work stuff tomorrow. Anyway, Xu Qianxing was not in a good mood at all. He was very upset.

President Xu, do you have time? Let me treat you to a meal,
flattered Ren Jianren.

Forget about it. I just finished eating. If you have anything to say, just say it.
Xu Qianxing had no mood to eat with Ren Jianren.

It’s about the art festival.
Ren Jianren heard something wrong in Xu Qianxing’s voice, but he didn’t think much of it.
Our Taekwondo Club wants to participate in the art festival and perform a martial art show.


 Oh 
, that’s a good thing. Go back and write a plan. I will take a look, and it will be all good.
After listening to Ren Jianren’s words, Xu Qianxing casually said,
This is not a big deal. Every club will show up for a performance. Let’s just leave it as it is first? I have something to do here…

After that, Xu Qianxing intended to hang up the phone. Ren Jianren panicked and quickly said,
Wait a minute, President Xu. I haven’t finished speaking!


What?
Xu Qianxing couldn’t be helped, and could only be patient. He was the Student Union president. Naturally, he couldn’t hang up on the club president’s phone calls. It was a bit too unreasonable. Even if the Taekwondo Club’s recent reputation was no longer good, it was one of the important clubs under the Student Union. He couldn’t neglect Ren Jianren; giving Ren Jianren a chance to gossip about it outside would be bad for him.

This is the case. We, the Taekwondo Club, want to invite the university’s new martial arts star to perform a show with us!
Ren Jianren quickly talked about the main point of his topic.



New martial arts star? Who is the university’s new martial arts star?
Xu Qianxing was surprised and somewhat inexplicable. As the university’s Student Union president, he had not heard of any new martial arts star in the school.

It’s the freshman, Yang Ming…
Ren Jianren was somewhat troubled. He would need to raise Yang Ming’s identity to get Xu Qianxing’s attention. Otherwise, he was afraid that Xu Qian would reject him. He was just a freshman; did he need to be entangled with it so much?
Therefore, in order to avoid Xu Qianxing’s disagreement, Ren Jianren packaged Yang Ming as the campus’ new martial arts star. With that, he would not be afraid that Xu Qianxing would disagree.
During this time, Ren Jianren and Li Jiasheng discussed how to deal with Yang Ming. They did not have the time to see the BBS campus forum. Naturally, they didn’t know about Yang Ming’s title. If he knew that Xu Qianxing already had the intention to have Yang Ming go up on stage, why would he speak so much nonsense?
Xu Qianxing originally wanted to end the conversation with Ren Jianren as soon as possible but did not expect Ren Jianren to speak about Yang Ming. Xu Qianxing became spirited! He had nothing to do with Yang Ming since he just wanted to invite him to the university art festival to perform martial arts to meet most of the students’ demands. On the other hand, he could also show the ability and democracy of him as the Student Council president.
But now, when Xu Qianxing heard Ren Jianren’s words, he changed his mind. He was not stupid. He could naturally hear a hint of Ren Jianren wanting revenge on Yang Ming! Ren Jianren lost so badly that he was beaten to the ground directly by Yang Ming’s brick during last semester. It was, indeed, a great shame, so Ren Jianren looking for Yang Ming to perform the show was simply a lie. He merely wanted to take advantage of the art festival to regain his status in front of the whole university.
How could Xu Qianxing not understand? But if it were before the meal, Xu Qianxing would never agree. Regardless of Yang Ming’s martial arts, he was just a gimmick in the eyes of most students. Although students wanted to watch him, it was nothing more than the comedy of his funny appearances and messy tricks.
None of them really knew Kung Fu; Yang Ming’s action was entirely comedic, and it had nothing to do with Kung Fu, but since Ren Jianren confronted him, it was altogether different. Ren Jianren came here purely for revenge. How could Xu Qianxing allow him to ruin the art festival?
But now, it was different. Xu Qianxing was very angry with Yang Ming. You have nothing to do with me pursuing Lin Zhiyun. You go back and hug your beautiful Chen Mengyan. Why did you come here and stir up trouble?

Hearing that Ren Jianren’s words seemed to have a certain confidence in victory, Xu Qianxing hesitated a little. He also decided to give Yang Ming a lesson. Why did Yang Ming stir up trouble for him? Moreover, he did not need to do it personally to teach Yang Ming a lesson. It was entirely in the hands of others. Why not?



What show do you want to perform with him? I remember that you and he had a duel in the last semester?
What kind of person was Xu Qianxing? His IQ was naturally not low since he could be the president of the Student Union. He could not let Ren Jianren notice his own intention. Otherwise, Ren Jianren would definitely ask for more!
Xu Qianxing intended to silently stand behind to watch the action, so his tone was very dull without being peculiar and inappropriate.

 Oh 
, of course, the battle among the masters!
Ren Jianren knew Xu Qianxing had noticed something.
President Xu, is this performance feasible?


Let me think about it.
Xu Qianxing did not immediately answer Ren Jianren. He wanted to be behind-the-scenes and not let people know.

President Xu, presumably you must have also heard my thoughts…
Ren Jianren sighed and said.

What did I hear? I didn’t hear anything. What do you think?
Xu Qianxing naturally would not admit that he was very careful and refused to associate with this matter. Otherwise, if this news were passed to Lin Zhiyun’s ear in the end, he wouldn’t need to think about pursuing her. He could simply give up.
Ren Jianren smiled. He thought that Xu Qianxing, as the Student Union president, could not disclose his views openly. He said,
President Xu, you also know that Yang Ming used very shameless moves to defeat me in the last semester. After that, the Taekwondo Club was devastated, and no one is willing to come to the Taekwondo Club now…


Of course, the Taekwondo Club is the official club of the school. Our Student Union will definitely support it. As long as you can restore the reputation of the Taekwondo Club, I will not interfere with other things.
Xu Qianxing certainly had to make a statement. Otherwise, Ren Jianren wouldn’t act boldly. He said this now to express his support for Ren Jianren. It was just that Xu Qianxing’s way of speaking was more subtle and grandiose, and it wouldn’t let others grasp his shortcomings.
For the Student Union president to support the development of the club in the school, what kind of shortcoming would there be? It could be narrated as the Student Union offering strong support to the club. With regard to how Ren Jianren did it and interpreted it, it was Ren Jianren’s matter. If something happened during that time, Xu Qianxing could deny everything. It had nothing to do with him.

Since President Xu said so, I have an idea in my heart.
Ren Jianren was immediately delighted after hearing Xu Qianxing’s words.
As long as President Xu supports it, then I will certainly reinvigorate the Taekwondo Club’s prestige.




 En 
, as to how you want to do this program, you must first communicate with Yang Ming. As long as he agrees to perform with you on the same stage, the review of the performance on my side is certainly not a problem,
said Xu Qianxing.

Sure. I will convince Yang Ming to perform with me,
said Ren Jianren.

Yes, Yang Ming has promised me to participate in the art festival performance. Have you seen the post on the school forum BBS?
asked Xu Qianxing.

 Oh 
? What post?
Ren Jianren was shocked. During this time, his brain was filled with how to get revenge on Yang Ming. There was no time to pay attention to what was posted on the school forum BBS.

Yang Ming is quite popular among the students. Everyone wants him to perform another show at this art festival.
Xu Qianxing briefly told Ren Jianren about the post.
Ren Jianren immediately came up with something in his heart. He thought, This is a godsend opportunity! The higher Yang Ming’s popularity, the greater the fame I can generate by defeating Yang Ming, and the prestige of the Taekwondo Club could echo throughout the campus!

On the contrary, if the crowd had forgotten who Yang Ming was, it didn’t make any sense to challenge Yang Ming again. Thinking of this, Ren Jianren was even more delighted.
President Xu, then do you have Yang Ming’s contact information? If so, I don’t have to look for it. Just give it to me. I will go directly to Yang Ming.


Please wait. I will check it for you.
Xu Qianxing also looked for Yang Ming in the past few days, so he knew Yang Ming’s schedule very well. He had Yang Ming’s schedule downloaded from the campus database on his phone. He found the class schedule and the class location, then he replied,
Yang Ming has a computer basic theory class at 6 o’clock this evening. The class is in the computer science teaching building, classroom 1307. You can go there and wait for him.


Thank you, President Xu.
Ren Jianren said with gratitude,
I will look for him now.

Ren Jianren was very happy. He hung up the phone and eagerly rushed to the computer science teaching building. He came to the door of classroom 1307. As he got the support of the Student Union, he got a little more confidence. This time he would settle the score and put Yang Ming under his feet, letting him know who was the best!
Ren Jianren knocked on the door of classroom 1307. Teacher Little Wang heard someone knocking at the door, so he said,
Please come in.

Ren Jianren pushed the classroom door open and said very politely,
Hello lecturer, I am Ren Jianren, the University’s Taekwondo Club President. I am looking for Yang Ming in your class.


 Oh 
? Do you have anything the matter?
asked Teacher Little Wang, looking at Ren Jianren. Since he was the Taekwondo Club President, Teacher Little Wang was very polite to him.

I’m looking for him to discuss performing on the same stage during the art festival.
Ren Jianren said this to Yang Ming in front of the entire class, not giving a chance to say no, and fearing that Yang Ming would disagree in a while.
Also, as he said this, it was just like he had already discussed it with Yang Ming. He came here only to discuss how to perform with Yang Ming.

 Oh 
? Alright, Yang Ming, come forward. The Taekwondo Club President is looking for you.
Teacher Little Wang did not think much of it and shouted to Yang Ming.
Yang Ming twitched his mouth. What is the Ren Jianren trying to do? But after thinking about it, he must be recalcitrant with me teaching him a lesson last semester. He wants to take the opportunity of the art festival to take revenge on me.

Yang Ming was not the ignorant boy from the past. He hesitated a little in silence and figured out what Ren Jianren wanted to do. He wanted to use the art festival performance to take revenge for the hatred from the last semester in front of the whole university and revive the prestige of the Taekwondo Club.
Yang Ming still heard a little about the Taekwondo Club. He understood that it was difficult for them to recruit people now. Those who joined before had left, making Ren Jianren and Li Jiasheng very embarrassed.
It was also reasonable for Ren Jianren to find a way to settle the score. For Ren Jianren’s words on
discuss performing on the same stage during the art festival,
Yang Ming sneered in disdain. Yang Ming was clear about his petty intention.
However, Yang Ming did not expose it, pretending there was nothing. Yang Ming walked out of the classroom. Yang Ming was worried about what kind of program to arrange to perform during the art festival. Since someone sent himself to the door voluntarily to let Yang Ming trample on him, Yang Ming would welcome him. Why would Yang Ming send him away?
Outside the classroom, Yang Ming closed the classroom door and threw a glance at Ren Jianren, saying smugly,
Isn’t this the Taekwondo Club’s President Ren? What a gracious presence! What are you looking for from an ordinary student?

Ren Jianren’s temper rose as he muttered to himself. Motherfcker, you don’t know why I am looking for you? 
However, he knew that he can’t break into anger at that moment. If he beat up Yang Ming at the classroom’s door, it wouldn’t even solve the problem, but rather, he would lose his position as the Taekwondo Club President. The university would definitely pursue it strictly.
So Ren Jianren took a breath and held it in. He thought, When we are on the stage, I will beat you up badly 
. Hence, he held his anger in and spoke with a smile,
Yang Ming, didn’t I mention it? I want to talk to you about the art festival on the same stage…


Perform on the same stage? Why don’t you perform alone? Why do you have to perform with me?
Yang Ming narrowed his eyes and looked at Ren Jianren.

You are the new martial arts star in the university. I’m the old Taekwondo president. If we perform together, isn’t it good?
Ren Jianren spoke halfway and noticed Yang Ming’s unenthusiastic gaze. He somewhat couldn’t continue because he was simply spatting nonsense. Could Yang Ming really believe him? It couldn’t be helped. Ren Jianren said straightforwardly,
Didn’t we have a friendly match last semester which caused a sensation? The intention of President Xu Qianxing, the Student Union president, is to let the two of us, the popular stars in the university, perform a show together. It can attract a lot of seats!

Ren Jianren guiltily mentioned Xu Qianxing’s name.
