...

Upon hearing these words, Qin Fang was also slightly stunned, looking at Liu Xianhe with some surprise.

It had to be said, Liu Xianhe truly was an old fox who had lived for decades; he had been very polite to Qin Fang all along, even taking out his treasured Yunluo Tea to offer Qin Fang a drink.

But with a turn of his face, he took the initiative to invite Qin Fang to a spar, to compare their skills...

There's an old saying: one who accepts another's gift may feel obligated. Qin Fang had consumed the tea, and had given enough face—then he encountered Liu Xianhe making such a "reasonable" request.

In such a formal duel, if Liu Xianhe lost, Qin Fang wouldn't be able to do much to him; after all, they were competing in martial arts, not fighting to the death.

However, if Liu Xianhe's strength were greater than Qin Fang's, and Liu Xianhe suddenly had an "accidental" slip of hand, then it was very possible that Qin Fang would be injured more severely than Liu Junhao, or even Liu Xianjun.

Thinking about it this way, Liu Xianhe was using a reasonable spar to create some "accidents."

Of course, this was only the first thought that came to Qin Fang's mind when he heard Liu Xianhe speak... Whether it was Liu Xianhe's true intention or not, Qin Fang naturally did not know.

"I shall respectfully comply..."

Qin Fang also had a wry smile on his face. Regardless of whether Liu Xianhe truly wanted to spar or had intentions of revenge, it wasn't very important because it wouldn't be appropriate for Qin Fang to reject the offer and lose face.

"Please..."

Upon hearing Qin Fang's answer, the smile on Liu Xianhe's face became even more radiant. There was not much change in his eyes, and he very politely led the way forward, heading towards the training room.

A Taekwondo dojang could also be considered a martial arts gym, with an emphasis on leg strength, so many of the training rooms were equipped with a lot of punching bags.

But as a fighting technique, Taekwondo wasn't just for fitness alone. To master Taekwondo, one must put in great effort, and perhaps even more real combat experience, to rise higher and faster... Just relying on daily practice, no matter how diligent, one shouldn't expect to achieve very high accomplishments.

Therefore, aside from enrolling regular students, the Ryu Family's Taekwondo Dojang also recruited elite students. These students were the ones who truly practiced Taekwondo, aiming for real combat fighting... and those who could reach a high level of mastery might even be taught the corresponding Inner Breath mental methods.

If you're aiming for real combat, a dojang naturally wouldn't be without a ring for martial arts matches, with standards much stricter and more regular than those of boxing rings... capable of withstanding impacts several times more powerful.

Everyone knows that the strength of those American boxers, especially those in the heavyweight and super heavyweight categories, is terrifying. A punch can unleash a force of over a thousand kilograms; even a sturdy bull, hit by such a fist, would howl in pain...

Yet, to a martial artist, such an attack power isn't so frightening. Basically, any martial artist whose strength has reached Level 5 or above, and whose body has been well-tempered, wouldn't see such power as a big threat, though it could still pose some danger.

When facing a Level 6 Grandmaster-level expert, what use is a force of a thousand kilograms? A Grandmaster-level expert wouldn't even let you touch the hem of their clothes, and a light slap could even topple a thick-skinned boxing champion to the ground.

Strength is a very effective way to attack. In the Martial World, those who practice external martial arts focus on tempering strength as the main objective, supplemented with technique. While this may not necessarily lead to a very high level of mastery, it's relatively easy to attain considerable combat prowess...

Such martial artists are not considered remarkable in the Martial World, but in the secular world, their combat abilities are beyond even those of special forces.

For martial artists who cultivate Inner Breath, channeling it into their arms, fists, or other parts of the body, the damage inflicted on enemies can be exponentially higher...

A force of over a thousand kilograms may seem frightening, but individuals like Qin Fang, Qin Shou Brother, Lei Peng, Lei Laohu, Su Yang, and others can all unleash such immense power, even more so... Especially when unleashing a powerful move, the force released in that instant could completely shatter a person's body, displaying just a fraction of their strength.

The news of Liu Xianhe and Qin Fang's spar spread throughout the entire Taekwondo Dojang quickly, attracting many of the dojang's instructors and staff to come watch. After all, working at the dojang, they were very interested in such contests, especially with the Dojang Master personally participating, which excited them beyond measure.

Keep in mind, Vice Dojang Master Liu Xianhe had rarely sparred with others in the dojang and had reached a level akin to the Invincible One—of course, this was merely their lack of exposure to stronger experts and wishful thinking.

Qin Fang's defeated opponent and son of Liu Xianhe, Liu Junhao, naturally wouldn't miss such an event. He had long hoped for his father to reclaim his honor, and upon receiving the news, he rushed to the ring area as quickly as possible.

Qin Fang had no objections to this. Liu Junhao and the others were not very clear about Qin Fang's strength, presuming that Liu Xianhe could easily cripple Qin Fang if he wished, not realizing that Qin Fang's capabilities were not as simple as they seemed... Liu Xianhe was just a Level 5 Expert, and one who had just barely touched the Level 5 Peak at that.

In recent times, Qin Fang had sparred with many, including the Level 5 Peak Su Yang, Lei Laohu, and even Lei Peng, who was on the verge of entering the Grandmaster Level—each of them young experts more powerful than Liu Xianhe—yet Qin Fang had never been defeated.

Before Qin Fang stood Liu Xianhe, whose strength naturally did not compare to the others; yet Qin Fang did not underestimate him. Taekwondo held its place in the world of martial arts, and Korea also boasted a Level 8 Grandmaster no weaker than Old Master Lei… This indirectly indicated that Taekwondo, when practiced to a high degree, was extremely powerful and certainly had its unique aspects.

Soon, Qin Fang and Liu Xianhe arrived at the dueling platform, and many people were already standing around it, all from the Taekwondo Dojang, naturally siding with Liu Xianhe.

Qin Fang wasn't left to stand alone, however, as at least one person was there to cheer him on—Li Enhui, the one who had dragged Qin Fang here as a shield.

Liu Xianhe swapped into his Taekwondo dobok and leaned his arm on the elastic cable at the edge of the platform. With a slight effort, he soared like a majestic eagle, crossing over the rope to land firmly on the platform.

Qin Fang, on the other hand, didn't change his attire; he simply took off his shoes and then calmly climbed onto the platform, without showing off like Liu Xianhe, merely walking up.

"Master, fight hard, ssi mida…"

"Dojang Master, fight hard, ssi mida…"

"Beat him! Beat down the Dragon Country person, ssi mida…"

Once both were standing firm on the platform, the crowd below began to wave banners, shout, and cheer, with almost all the encouragement for Liu Xianhe, and naturally, a few people booed Qin Fang incessantly.

Regarding the chants of "ssi mida" left and right, Qin Fang opted to ignore them; he had long been aware of Korean manners and saw no need to stoop to their level.

The indifference of Qin Fang surprised Liu Xianhe. Watching his own disciples' proud demeanour, he felt somewhat dishonoured; it was too demeaning.

"It's just a normal sparring session with Mr. Qin, there's no need for all this…"

With a gesturing hand, Liu Xianhe quelled the clamour and then reprimanded his group of followers.

"I'm truly sorry, Mr. Qin. This is only a friendly exchange of martial arts, and we'll stop at the slightest touch…"

Of course, he did not forget to offer this explanation to Qin Fang as well.

It was necessary to say this beforehand, for once the fight started, punches and kicks would not have eyes, and sometimes it was impossible to stop even if one wanted to… Clearing things up in advance could also reduce some unnecessary trouble.

"No problem!"

Qin Fang nodded, preferring it this way; it meant he didn't need to strike too hard.

"Please!"

Liu Xianhe bowed deeply to Qin Fang, politely indicating.

Qin Fang responded with a bow as well. This was a courtesy in Taekwondo. Although in the Dragon Country Martial World a fist salute was more common, he still followed the local customs.

"Mr. Qin, here I come... Aha!"

Spoken later than the flash of action, concurrent with Liu Xianhe's words, before Qin Fang had fully raised his head, he could already sense how mightily powerful Liu Xianhe's attack was.

In Taekwondo, the use of legs is quite complex, and some moves are terrifying in their force, such as the current move by Liu Xianhe, a rapid close-in combined with a powerful knee strike!

A knee strike, a move found in many martial arts.

The kneecap is extremely hard, second only to the human skull. With frequent movement, the kneecap is also very flexible, allowing for explosive power and terrifying force.

Liu Xianhe, a seasoned expert in Taekwondo for decades, although not quite as powerful as Qin Fang, delivered a shrewd and powerful knee strike... If it were to land, one could probably not escape the fate of fractured bones.

Seeing the knee strike whistling swiftly towards him, Qin Fang's eyes tightened slightly with surprise, yet he remained unfazed.

At this point, dodging was impossible; the distance between him and Liu Xianhe was too close, Liu Xianhe's kick was abrupt and swift, and with hardly any time left, even thinking was barely feasible, let alone making any other evasive moves...(to be continued.
