Chapter 299: Chapter 299: The Shrinking Turtle _1
Having been tossed around by Ye Ming, Park Zhengmeng’s internal organs had shifted out of place, and he had sustained severe internal injuries. It was quite remarkable that he managed to utter two words.
Seeing their leader fallen and unable to get up, members of Tiger Team crowded around him, trying to wake him up.
But after calling out for a long time, their efforts were in vain. Park Zhengmeng had already fallen into a deep coma.
With their leader down, the remaining eight members of Tiger Team completely lost their backbone, and their fighting spirit instantly diminished by more than half.
Li Xuanzhi, who was watching from the sidelines, was so shocked by what he had witnessed that he could not put his feelings into words.
He had not expected their top fighter of Tiger Team to be tossed around as a weapon by Ye Ming and then be beaten so severely.
He had lost his initial strategy and cautiousness spread across his face as he watched Ye Ming, beginning to calculate his next move.
After a moment of thought, Li Xuanzhi clenched his teeth and stamped his foot, resolutely declaring, "If that’s how it is, then we’ll use the human wave tactic, Pestering Tactics! Get him!"
"Even if we can’t hurt him, we’ll disgust him to death!"
Following Li Xuanzhi’s order, the members of Tiger Team braced themselves and charged in once more.
They began to set up their formation, taking positions around Ye Ming’s body at eight different points, firmly surrounding him.
The Pestering Tactics, true to its name, involved relentless harassment; it was the most insidious move in their Taekwondo, closing in on the enemy indefinitely, using their limbs to restrict the enemy’s movements.
Ye Ming snorted coldly, not taking them seriously at all. As soon as their formation was set, Ye Ming instantly launched his attack.
He moved with great speed, and with each strike, someone would fall. In just a moment, all eight members of Tiger Team were on the ground, and their formation collapsed without being assailed.
Wang Yating, who was watching from the side, couldn’t help but laugh, lavishly praising him, "That was amazing, truly worthy of our Instructor Ye! One against so many and he didn’t even break a sweat!"
Razor’s breathing became rapid, and his eyes gleamed with frenzy as he murmured, "Is this the result of refining the body to its peak? So cool!"
Ye Ming demonstrated martial arts to Falcon Squad’s members without using his True Qi, relying solely on External Martial Arts, barehanded combat, with straightforward, unembellished moves that seemed effortless to the onlookers.
Zhang Changyang grinned and spoke with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Tiger Team turned out to be so fragile; you’ve stolen all the limelight, kid!"
In just a few minutes, the arrogant and domineering Tiger Team was reduced to just Li Xuanzhi standing, while the others were either lying on the ground screaming in pain or in an uncertain state between life and death, unconscious.
Li Xuanzhi’s complexion was terrible. He hadn’t expected the outcome to be like this.
Minister Yang’s lips curled up, and he calmly approached Li Xuanzhi, saying, "Instructor Li, I think you should take your team members back to rest first. If you can’t even beat our Falcon Squad, you might as well forget about the Flying Eagle Team. You would only embarrass yourself further."
Li Xuanzhi gritted his teeth, speaking bitterly, "So, this is your idea of hospitality. I’ve learned my lesson. Don’t get too cocky, Minister Yang. I’ll remember this."
"And you’ll be the ones paying for my team members’ medical expenses. If not, I’ll report this to your superiors and have you punished!"
Minister Yang laughed off the threat, completely unconcerned, and replied, "Fine, I’ll compensate you for the medical expenses, and I’ll pay out of my own pocket, willingly at that!"
Today, Falcon Squad had made him proud, and Minister Yang was extremely pleased. Such a minor matter didn’t bother him in the slightest.
Li Xuanzhi snorted, trying to maintain an arrogant demeanor, but their defeat was so complete that they had no way to regain face.
He could only temporarily give up, thinking to find another opportunity in the future to make the Falcon Squad pay a painful price.
Just as he thought things were coming to an end, Ye Ming’s sudden shout interrupted him.
"Instructor Li, right? You aren’t trying to run away, are you?"
Li Xuanzhi furrowed his brows and asked, "What do you mean? When have I ever tried to escape?"
Ye Ming explained nonchalantly, "Earlier, I said I would take down ten people, but so far only nine of you have fallen. There’s one left. Who do you think will be the tenth?"
"You..." Li Xuanzhi showed an angry expression, staring fiercely at Ye Ming.
Ye Ming spoke indifferently, "I stand by my word; not even one person less will do!"
Li Xuanzhi said viciously, "Instructor Ye, I just want to tell you that there are always people better than you. Don’t be too arrogant. There are some people you should never provoke!"
"As an instructor of the Tiger Team, I naturally have my capabilities, but if I were to take action, you would either die or be crippled. I’ve been letting you off only because I fear for the relations between our two countries. Don’t push it too far."
Ye Ming shook his head and said, "It’s just a friendly competition between two teams. Let’s not drag other matters into this unless you’re scared."
"Scared? Haha, what a joke!" Li Xuanzhi said coldly, "Yellow-haired boy, since you’re provoking us so much and not taking us seriously, don’t blame me for being impolite!"
Ye Ming countered coldly, "Is that all the Tiger Team is capable of, besides spouting nonsense?"
The atmosphere had been intensifying to such an extent that Li Xuanzhi found himself in a difficult position.
As the last man of the Tiger Team, he only wanted to preserve the final vestige of face for his team. If even he, as the instructor, was defeated, they might as well disband the Tiger Team upon their return.
The very problem the Falcon Squad had faced now confronted the Tiger Team.
But looking at Ye Ming’s arrogant attitude, Li Xuanzhi couldn’t bear it any longer. He said angrily, "Since it has come to this, Ye, I want to make a bet with you, a wager. I wonder if you dare to accept it?"
Ye Ming raised his eyebrows, curious about what trick he was trying to pull, and asked, "Let’s hear it, how do you want to bet?"
Li Xuanzhi said, "If I win, you will have to kneel and apologize in front of all the members of the Tiger Team!"
"And admit that all of you are garbage!"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Yating and Yang Tianxiong were both somewhat indignant. It was clear that Li Xuanzhi was trying to regain face by being unfair.
Such means were truly despicable.
Just as the two were about to speak out in dissuasion, they were stopped by Ye Ming.
"Such a small stake? It’s like playing house," Ye Ming said nonchalantly, "If you lose, you run around naked and admit that the Tiger Team is nothing but a bunch of cowards. Do you dare?"
"You..." Li Xuanzhi ground his teeth as he looked at him, saying, "Don’t push it too far, you little brat!"
Ye Ming looked at him with a half-smile and asked, "I’m just asking if you dare or not. If you don’t, then take your men and beat it right now. From now on, you might as well not call yourselves the Tiger Team, just the Turtle Shrinking Team will fit better."
