Chapter 12: Twelve, Wholeheartedly Convinced and Compliant Chapter 12: Twelve, Wholeheartedly Convinced and Compliant Song Yan Ning curved her lips, her eyes twinkling like stars with a brilliant light, beautiful, yet seeming to possess an insight that could see through people’s hearts, “Are you thinking that once your acupoints are released, you’ll teach me a lesson?”
The fat man looked at Song Yan Ning in surprise, “How did you know?” Could she possibly have the Mind Reading Technique?
“Even if your acupoints were released, you still wouldn’t be my opponent,” Song Yan Ning teased the fat man.
“I don’t believe it! If you have the guts, release my acupoints,” the fat man provoked. If he couldn’t even beat a little girl, his large size would be a waste.
“How about we make a bet?” A sly gleam flashed in Song Yan Ning’s eyes.
“You’re on, who’s afraid of whom! What’s the bet?” the fat man said with an air of nonchalance. His strength was infamously strong in this system; he feared no little girl. That would be a joke.
Song Yan Ning glanced over the fat man and his followers, “One-on-one. If I win, from now on, you and your followers will follow my lead. How about that?” Even though she wasn’t in a hurry for Merit Points, her current strength wasn’t that formidable, but the tasks in the Task Hall didn’t pose a challenge to her at all. Once she became more familiar with this place, she planned to take on a few Grade A tasks. The Merit Points awarded for one Grade A task were incomparable to these low-level ones.
“What if you lose?” the fat man asked.
Song Yan Ning smiled, “I’ll give you all my Merit Points.”
Behind her, Yang Junjun and others lowered their heads, their shoulders shaking slightly. Song Yan Ning was clearly setting a trap; as it was, she didn’t have a single Merit Point.
The fat man hesitated, seeing Song Yan Ning’s confidence.
At that moment, a tall and thin boy behind the fat man spoke up, “Let’s play best two out of three. If you win two rounds, you win.” Not only was he the brains and face of the team, but he was also the true leader.
“No problem!” Song Yan Ning agreed readily, and with a flick of her wrist, she flung several small pebbles. Since she managed to immobilize them once, she was capable of doing it a second time.
The fat man and his companions felt a sudden pain before realizing they could move freely again.
“I’ll go first to meet you,” the fat man said, moving his neck and stepping forward, challengingly looking at Song Yan Ning. Since she had dared to acupoint him, he’d let her know the consequences of offending him.
“Doctor, be careful. The Samurai’s combat power is quite formidable,” Yang Junjun and others watched Song Yan Ning with concern. She could acupoint, which meant she must have some kung fu skills, but after all, the opponent was the infamous ‘Samurai’ from the Primary System.
Song Yan Ning gave an OK sign to Yang Junjun and the rest, before stepping in front of the fat man with an inviting gesture, “Begin.”
The fat man shouted and charged at Song Yan Ning.
Song Yan Ning’s figure flickered, dodging the fat man’s attack while gripping his incoming fist and with a slight exertion of force, executed a move of using the opponent’s force against them.
A “bang!” was heard and, upon focusing, the fat man was seen lying on the ground.
“How is this possible?”
“That’s a Samurai; are my eyes deceiving me?”
“She won so easily? This is unscientific.” Everyone present looked at Song Yan Ning in disbelief.
Song Yan Ning’s lips curled slightly, looking down at the fat man lying on the ground, “Shall we continue?”
The fat man glared at Song Yan Ning, his eyes filled with defiance. He couldn’t believe he’d been thrown by this little girl; it was a monumental humiliation.
He stood up and quickly rushed at Song Yan Ning again. This time he would not be careless.
Song Yan Ning smiled playfully, her figure as swift as a specter. She had to demonstrate her strength to subdue them.
Everyone’s vision blurred, and then another “bang!” was heard. The fat man had fallen to the ground once more.
“She’s so amazing!”
“Who exactly is she? Could she be from an Ancient Martial Family?”
“The Doctor is so impressive! I’ve decided; she’s my idol from now on. I’ll follow her lead,” the crowd looked at Song Yan Ning with surprise, admiration, and disbelief.
“Continue?” Song Yan Ning looked at the fat man and asked.
“I’ve lost,” the fat man slowly climbed up, humbly accepting his defeat as he looked at Song Yan Ning. One time could be an accident, but a second time definitely couldn’t be.
“You’re skilled!” Song Yan Ning gave a slight bow.
The fat man bowed back at Song Yan Ning and turned to join his companions. The strongest among his team was ‘Black Hat’, the true team leader.
The code name Black Hat was not given lightly. At six years old, the leader had single-handedly breached a nation’s security network, causing chaos in that country. The country deployed numerous computer experts to track down the leader’s trail, but in the end, not one could determine his whereabouts.
Besides, the leader’s combat prowess was incredibly strong; he couldn’t last more than three moves in his grasp. That was why they willingly submitted to the leader; after all, to enter the Emperor Realm system meant no one was ordinary, each with their own pride. Without significant ability, who would submit to whom?
Black Hat stepped forward, giving Song Yan Ning a slight bow, “I’ll be your opponent now.”
“Please enlighten me!” Song Yan Ning returned the bow.
Black Hat advanced a step, his movements as quick as lightning, rapidly striking at Song Yan Ning. She was eager to see just how powerful Song Yan Ning truly was.
“What do you guys think, who will win this round?”
“Definitely Black Hat, isn’t that obvious?”
“This person is impressive, they’ve exchanged several moves with the Doctor, can she win this time?”
“I thought the Samurai was the strongest, it turns out there’s another hidden powerhouse.”
Those around watched the intense battle with both anxiety and excitement.
Song Yan Ning’s smile grew thicker. She now knew her opponent’s strength and was very satisfied.
The more Black Hat fought, the more alarmed he became; this was the first time since he joined this system that he had encountered a worthy opponent, and what’s more, it was a much younger girl.
Suddenly, he felt a pain in his stomach and stumbled backward involuntarily, then fell to the ground, seated. He had lost!
Song Yan Ning approached, smiling down at Black Hat, “Shall we continue?”
Black Hat stood up, looking down at Song Yan Ning with a light smile on his face, “I’ve lost, you are my leader now.” He was full of curiosity about her and keen to know her better.
