Chapter 145 A fierce horse needs a ruthless person to train it
"Puff——" Yun Chen spat out a mouthful of porridge, hurriedly wiped his mouth with his sleeve, put down the bowl and ran out.
I don’t know what’s wrong with Huo Gannian, he actually wants to go to the ring to compete.
She was worried about his legs, and since she had never seen him fight and didn't know how good his kung fu was, she felt a little uneasy and hurried to the ring.
There is no need to ask how to get to the ring, just go where there are more people.
The square was crowded with onlookers, with a large red platform placed in the center. A Luojiang warrior as strong as an iron tower was grabbing a Nan country martial artist and "beating" him.
The Luojiang warrior was shirtless, revealing his tough body. He held the martial artist under his armpits and beat him until his mouth and face were covered in blood, which caused sighs from the audience.
Yun Chen looked around in a panic and found Huo Gannian and Ye Yan in the crowd closest to the ring.
It’s not that she has good eyesight, it’s just that Huo Gannian’s outfit today is too eye-catching.
She wore a crown with sparrow feathers and green upturned tails on her head, a vermilion round-necked robe with colorful flowers, a white jade double-dragon twisted belt around her waist, and even her black tiger boots were embroidered with the Xiang Fei twin cloud pattern.
At first glance, seeing how bright and attractive he is, if you don't know him, you might think he is going on a blind date.
She walked to Huo Gannian, cleared her throat, and said in a deep and polite voice:
"Mr. Huo, what a coincidence."
At this moment, the crowd seemed to move, pushing Huo Gannian close to her body.
Putting his arm around her shoulders, Huo Gannian steadied himself and said with a smile, "You came at the perfect time, just in time."
She wanted to take a step back, farther away from him, but was squeezed by the crowd and couldn't move away. She could only look up at him and ask:
"Master Huo, do you also want to fight in this arena? The warriors of Luojiang are extremely powerful, and a duel is really dangerous."
Huo Gannian pointed to the back of the arena. "The prize for the people of Naluojiang is a fierce horse called 'Wolf-Slaying Colt', worth a hundred gold coins. It has a fierce and difficult nature, but it can endure hardships and cold weather, making it perfect for long journeys and carrying heavy loads."
Yun Chen was confused, "And then?"
Huo Gannian blinked and smiled:
"I'm going to defeat the Luojiang warriors and win a horse—" He paused, leaned close to her ear, and said softly:
"For you."
Before she could react, the Luojiang people on the stage shouted:
"Please welcome the fifty-second hero—Huo Yun!"
Hearing this name, Yun Chen was stunned. Huo Gannian laughed softly and said:
"I've never told my name to Brother Wang. Now you know it. My name is 'Huo Yun'."
After saying that, Huo Gannian immediately jumped onto the stage.
The stage was stained with a large area of crimson blood, which was the blood of the previous contestants who had been defeated.
Huo Gannian stood still in the middle, his figure as straight as a pine tree, his posture calm and unhurried, and his extremely handsome appearance immediately aroused cheers from the audience.
Someone shouted, "Huo Yun! Show that Luojiang person some color!"
The warrior from Naluojiang stepped forward and looked at Huo Gannian, who was about the same height as him. He guessed from the other's calm yet sharp eyes that this man was not like those good-for-nothings before and should not be underestimated.
The Luojiang warrior patted his chest, got ready for battle, and said in a deep voice:
“Brother, please!”
Huo Gannian lifted the hem of his robe and was about to take a step, but he frowned, bent his knees, covered his calf with a painful expression, and said, "It hurts."
Seeing Huo Gannian like this, Yun Chen in the audience immediately turned pale and almost rushed onto the stage, but Huo Gannian's expression returned to normal and he flew away.
The rule of the Luojiang people's fighting arena is that no weapons are used, only fists and feet are used.
Although Huo Gannian was as tall as the Luojiang warrior, he still looked thin in front of the Northwestern men who were as strong as yaks. When his punches hit the flesh, only the sound of his blows could be heard, but the Luojiang warrior did not fall down.
Yun Chen's heart was in suspense, and he stared at the arena without even blinking.
Whenever the huge fist of the Luojiang warrior brushed against Huo Gannian's cheek, she would unconsciously hold her breath and dare not breathe.
Whenever the Luojiang warrior's feet swept across Huo Gannian's legs, she gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and was ready to rush forward to save him at any time.
Huo Gannian was fighting endlessly with the Luojiang warrior, and she was so tense that she didn't dare to relax at all. She felt more nervous than if she were fighting on the field herself. Her heart was in turmoil and she was very worried.
She almost screamed out loud several times when Huo Gan thought of danger.
It seemed that he had finally had enough fun. Huo Gannian saw from the corner of his eye that Yun Chen's eyes were wide open and his eye sockets were red with nervousness. He was finally satisfied. With a curl of his lips, he immediately changed his moves and went towards the vital point of the Luojiang warrior.
The people in the audience only saw that the originally evenly matched fight soon turned into the Luojiang warrior being defeated step by step. That "Huo Yun" fought more and more fiercely, and his momentum became more and more arrogant and domineering, almost overwhelmingly "beating" the Luojiang warrior.
Everyone then realized that the evenly matched opponent just now was just a trick played by "Huo Yun" to whet everyone's appetite.
During the fight, Huo Gannian frequently raised his legs and kicked, spinning in the air, and performing a series of flying kicks. He could have easily defeated the Luojiang warrior, but he always resorted to some beautiful but unnecessary moves. Someone in the audience couldn't help but approach Ye Yan and asked:
"Brother Guard, is this your master? His Kung Fu is amazing! But why is he fighting so long-winded?"
At that time, Huo Gannian was performing a beautiful but redundant Green Dragon Tail move, which drew continuous cheers from the audience.
Ye Yan's face was mysterious:
"You don't understand. My master isn't competing in martial arts, he's spreading his wings."
Soon, amid the cheers of the crowd, Huo Gannian kicked the Luojiang warrior off the ring and won the prize.
Although the people of Luojiang were proud and arrogant, they were men of their word. They immediately brought the fierce horse "Slaughter Wolf Colt" and said to Huo Gan:
"This horse is wild and hard to tame. It will take at least ten days to tame it. You have to—"
Before the Luojiang man could finish his words, Huo Gannian had already grabbed the reins and jumped onto the horse's back as nimbly as a monkey.
No matter how the wild horse neighed and roared, raised its hooves and swung its back, Huo Gannian was like an eagle's claw, holding the reins firmly in one hand and the horse's mane tightly in the other, and his body nimbly rose and fell with the horse's body.
He kept tightening the reins and yelling at the horse, pulling out pieces of the horse's mane and even causing bleeding.
Even so, he didn't frown once and his hair wasn't a mess.
Everyone was watching the horse training, which was more exciting than a fighting competition in the ring. Finally, they saw the wolf-killing colt let out a long cry to the sky, slowly calmed down, and began to let Huo Gannian control it.
The crowd exclaimed:
"pretty!!"
"A fierce horse really needs a ruthless person to tame it!!"
Huo Gannian patted the horse's neck to comfort it. The wolf-slaying colt tilted its head slightly and let out a soft cry through its nose, indicating that it enjoyed it very much.
Then, he pulled the reins hard and jumped off the stage, scaring everyone so much that they dodged and screamed, leaving Yun Chen standing there in a daze.
Huo Gannian rode on a tall wolf-killing colt, dressed in fine clothes and riding a majestic horse. He led the horse and walked around Yun Chen.
The sound of horse hooves surrounded Yun Chen, and his hot and aggressive eyes looked at her, making her dare not look at him at all.
After turning around twice, he jumped off the horse, handed the reins to Yun Chen, and looked into her eyes with his sparkling phoenix eyes.
"This horse is called Huo Yun, and it's for you."
