The battle between Sha Rong and Xiao Lin lasted for quite a while, but that's in terms of normal combat. Compared to the battle with Chen Yang that completely wore Sha Rong down, the duration of this battle was really nothing.
However, this was also a battle that made Sha Rong very angry.
He discovered that he was actually inferior to Xiao Lin, although it was only a very slight difference, but he could still feel this slight difference.
In the past, he had fought with Xiao Lin, and he had both won and lost. Their strengths were roughly equal, and the outcome depended on their condition.
But this time, he clearly felt it, and there was a subtle difference between him and Xiaolin.
Such a gap directly indicates that martial artists of their caliber are inferior to their opponents.
Why!
He couldn't understand why Xiaolin, so engrossed in romantic love, could still make progress.
It seems that Xiaolin's physique has improved. How did he manage to do that?
When Sha Rong lost focus during the fight, he naturally lost. Moreover, this time, he lost quite decisively, leaving him speechless. Even if they were to fight again, he felt that he would lose more than he lost.
Has Xiaolin already surpassed me?
He was somewhat bewildered.
After his battle with Xiao Lin ended, Chen Yang arrived just in time. It was Wang Bing who sent Chen Yang a message, which is how Chen Yang found out. On the way, Wang Bing told Chen Yang that Xiao Lin's opponent was a Tai Chi master with similar strength to Xiao Lin, and Chen Yang knew who the person was.
When Sha Rong saw Chen Yang, her eyes instantly blazed with anger.
It was Chen Yang who made me lose face in the martial arts circle. It was also Chen Yang who brought me to the inn, which is why I lost to Xiao Lin. It was all Chen Yang's fault.
Sha Rong is now somewhat obsessed, disregarding everything and mentally shifting all responsibility onto Chen Yang.
"Chen Yang, you coward! If you've got the guts, fight me again, fair and square, don't try any more of your little tricks!" Sha Rong shouted angrily at Chen Yang.
Chen Yang was a little confused when Sha Rong yelled at him as soon as he came in.
So what if he lost a fight? Why is this guy being so petty?
Chen Yang couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Xiao Lin shook his head inwardly; he could understand some of Sha Rong's thoughts.
It was one thing to lose to Chen Yang in the martial arts tournament, but to lose to himself again at Chen Yang's Inn was another matter. No wonder Sha Rong found it hard to accept. He had been known as a prodigy for too long, so it was good to give him a blow.
Sha Rong is different from Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin doesn't know what path he should take in the future, but Sha Rong's future path is very clear. He just needs to continue to promote his Tai Chi style. Moreover, his path is already somewhat clear, unlike Xiao Lin's previous one, which seemed almost unsolvable.
It was the Micro Realm that solved Xiao Lin's problem. Now, Xiao Lin only helps out with chores occasionally, and spends most of his time teaching and practicing martial arts.
The camp specifically allocated a building for him to use as a martial arts hall. Once the camp's dedicated martial arts hall is completed, Sha Rong will become the hall master.
Sha Rong's main job at the camp is to teach martial arts. All the underage children in the camp study with him for three afternoons every week, and many adult citizens also come to learn from him.
This work is also a process of consolidating Sha Rong's martial arts skills, and compared to the extra time he gains in the micro-world, this work is nothing.
He can now spend every day with Cai Yao, do his job well, and even have an extra half-day each day.
Within the micro-realm, he only slept six hours and was still full of energy. In other words, he had eighteen extra hours of martial arts training time every day. Even if he took eight hours to do his work and spend time with his wife and future child, he still had ten extra hours.
Moreover, the natural conditions in the micro-world are excellent, and it is also blessed with spiritual energy, so the effect of practicing martial arts can truly be described as achieving twice the result with half the effort.
Since the martial arts tournament, he has been able to feel his own significant progress.
Moreover, his state of mind was different; he was more relaxed.
Compared to Sha Rong, Xiao Lin felt incredibly lucky.
Unfortunately, our unlucky Sha Rong could only vent his anger on Chen Yang, but sadly, he chose the wrong target.
"After our match, if I win, you'd better not bother me anymore, okay?" Chen Yang said.
"Fine, if you lose, you must admit that your victory in the martial arts tournament was not honorable, and that your strength is inferior to mine," Sha Rong said viciously.
If Chen Yang really said the victory was dishonorable, then he would never be able to hold his head high in the martial arts world again. Sha Rong really went too far.
However, Xiao Lin knew that Chen Yang would not lose. As long as Chen Yang was willing to use more than 50% of his power, Sha Rong would definitely be defeated. During his time in the Micro Realm, he had deeply felt the terror of Chen Yang.
Not only are his various abilities outstanding, but his talent is also exceptional. Xiao Lin could fully sense Chen Yang's terrifyingly rapid progress, which was something he simply couldn't match.
It can be said that when Chen Yang participated in the martial arts tournament a few months ago, his pure martial arts skills were only at the level of Wang Feng. Now, Chen Yang is only slightly inferior to them.
Chen Yang's progress was so fast that it amazed Yin Weilin. He only realized after entering the micro-world that even if the time in the micro-world was included, Chen Yang had only been practicing martial arts for four years.
Chen Yang's achievements in just four years are inseparable from his wolf-like bloodline, but it is definitely not just due to his wolf-like bloodline; Chen Yang's own talent is also top-notch.
Now, how could Sha Rong possibly succeed in challenging Chen Yang to save face?
“Chen Yang, I’ll give you the chance to choose the venue. This is your inn. If you lose here, it will be too embarrassing. I’m not being heartless. I’ll give you a way out. We can go somewhere else to compete,” Sha Rong said.
"No need, this is fine. My employees are used to it. If I win, they probably won't even give me a round of applause," Chen Yang said.
He was telling the truth. Some time ago, martial artists frequently came to challenge them. The inn's staff had gotten used to it and even thought their boss was invincible because every challenger lost, and those challengers were all experts themselves.
"Alright, since you're not afraid of losing face, then so be it. I'll let you go first." Sha Rong said confidently with a smile. Tai Chi is best at using softness to overcome hardness and borrowing force to strike back, so the difference between going first and last doesn't make much difference to him.
"Then I'll go all out," Chen Yang said with a half-smile.
"You make the move," Sha Rong said.
Xiao Lin couldn't bear to watch anymore. This wasn't a martial arts tournament; he was the only one in the audience who truly understood what was going on. If Chen Yang really went all out, he could already predict the outcome.
The two assumed their stances. Chen Yang stared at Sha Rong, a slight breeze billowing around him as he gathered strength in his feet. Sha Rong suddenly felt as if he were being watched by a wolf. He even hesitated, his martial instincts telling him he was in danger.
But how is that possible?
"Wait a moment." Suddenly a voice came from the entrance of the inn. Old Master Yun walked in from outside.
