Chapter 300: Chapter 215: Battle of the Two Shorties (Part 3)

Shangguan Li snorted coldly, “Don’t worry, Director Su’s precious girl, I won’t be too harsh.”

Dongdong deliberately said sarcastically, “Oh~ Should I thank Little Sister Shangguan then? The kids in kindergarten are really pretty and kind-hearted.”

Shangguan Li’s eyes were almost spitting fire. She turned and walked to her position, saying coldly, “I’ve changed my mind. Just wait, today I’m definitely going to give you a good beating.”

Dongdong returned, clenched her fist, and said, “Stop blabbering, speak with your fists.”

“Are you both ready?” Su Mo looked at the two of them, raised his hand, and swung it down, “Start.”

Dongdong had a fiery temper, never dragging out fights, and she initiated the attack first.

She charged at Shangguan Li like lightning, her speed causing the spectators to exclaim in surprise as she quickly closed the distance.

Shangguan Li still stood with hands behind her back, not assuming a stance to meet the strike, and her pupils reflected the shadow of Dongdong, unfocused and deep.

“Seeking death!” Seeing her opponent so careless, Dongdong didn’t hold back, swinging her fist directly toward the face.

Shangguan Li’s face showed a disdainful sneer.

“Dong!”

Without warning, Dongdong felt a heavy pressure from her chin, her body uncontrollably flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

When she suddenly awoke, she had been unconscious for several seconds, with noise all around.

Dongdong was dazed for a moment, the pain in her jaw making her gasp.

She struggled to her feet, looking at Shangguan Li in astonishment.

Shangguan Li still had her hands behind her back, her left foot unmoved, her right leg lifted high in the air, her graceful posture like a butterfly with wings spread.

She slowly lowered her leg to the ground softly and silently, sneering at Dongdong, “Is that it?”

The Edge Mercenaries collectively gasped.

What just happened was truly shocking. Facing Dongdong’s frontal assault, Shangguan Li merely made a simple, no-frills straight kick.

The kick was so fast it was practically invisible, and before everyone could react, Dongdong was already hit and sent flying.

Dongdong spat and feeling unresigned, thought she was merely careless.

Focusing her attention, she attacked Shangguan Li again.

This time she adjusted her strategy, throwing a series of three feints.

Shangguan Li looked ahead indifferently, even when the feint punches were inches away from her, she didn’t move, as if she knew they wouldn’t land.

After the three feints, Dongdong ducked and weaved, swinging a fierce hook aimed directly at Shangguan Li’s chin.

This punch was a real move camouflaged by the feints.

If it hit, she could avenge the earlier kick.

“Dong!”

The sound of a clash echoed again.

Shangguan Li twisted her body like a storm, and before Dongdong’s fist could land, she hit her cheek with a swift spinning kick.

Dongdong crashed to the ground awkwardly, seeing stars, the red mark on her face swelling high.

Shangguan Li slowly retracted her right leg hanging in the air, landed, still hands behind her back, barely moved from her initial position.

Her lips curled into a sneer, “Little Shorty, is that it?”

Two rounds of confrontation.

If the first time could be attributed to a flash of luck.

The second time completely proved that Shangguan Li had the strength to crush Dongdong.

Dongdong’s three feint punches were completely seen through, Shangguan Li even disdained to dodge.

And the final weaving hook was kicked away by Shangguan Li, her clothes not even grazed.

This was entirely a matter of overwhelming strength.

Shangguan Li’s combat skills were truly astonishing, leaving the Edge Mercenaries exchanging glances.

Chu Nanyi was the first to not hold back, he shouted, “Sister Dong, this one knows kung fu, don’t clash head-on! Go shadow her! Use that move you kicked me with and shadow her!”

Dongdong, having her two moves broken, was momentarily lost in strategy, and actually believed in Chu Nanyi’s nonsense.

She rushed over, feinted a hand attack, then suddenly lifted her foot, aiming between Shangguan Li’s legs.

“Ha, only kids use such moves in fights.” Shangguan Li showed heavy disdain, turned around with a sweeping leg attack and flipped Dongdong, her powerful kick peeling back a layer of the lawn.

Before Dongdong even hit the ground, Shangguan Li executed a series of dazzling combo kicks, sending her flying several meters like a kicked ball.

“Dong.” Dongdong crashed to the ground, dizzy and disoriented.

On the sidelines, Su Mo kicked Chu Nanyi’s butt and scolded, “Stop commanding nonsense! You’re into ranged combat, what stupid ideas are you giving…”

From start to finish, Shangguan Li’s hands never left her back, sneering down at Dongdong, “Surrender, and you’ve only half lost, looks better for you.”

Although Dongdong was beaten and in a sorry state, the fighting spirit in her eyes was more intense than before: “Is that it? I’m just getting started!”

“Boom—” Suddenly, Dongdong transformed into a twisted afterimage and disappeared from where she stood.

Immediately afterward, the surrounding gusts surged wildly, faintly pulling out several afterimages of Dongdong.

The Profound Cat-type Artificial Spine was fully activated, and bullet time commenced!

“Dong! Dong! Dong!…”

In bullet time, Dongdong moved swiftly like the wind, launching a frenzied assault on Shangguan Li, with the sound of fists and feet colliding filling the air.

From the slightly serious expression, it was clear that Shangguan Li was no longer as relaxed as before.

Although her hands remained behind her back, using only her legs to counter, every time she blocked she would be knocked off position.

Realizing her speed couldn’t keep up, she didn’t take it lightly and also activated her artificial spine, entering bullet time.

Shangguan Li was also an implant user who had undergone full-body artificial replacement, with the model “Surprise Sparrow” inside her, all components being “Military Grade 2”.

The Surprise Sparrow-type artificial body, like the Profound Cat-type, is a melee-type body focusing on enhancing neural response and overall strength.

Even though Dongdong had improved her artificial components with Future’s help a few days ago, raising her overall level to Stringently Managed Level 2.

But facing a Military Grade 2 body, the considerable performance gap was still a disadvantage for her.

“Dong! Dong! Dong!…”

The black shadows intertwined on the soccer field, with the dull sounds of fists and feet clashing continuously resounding.

Dongdong was often heavily slammed onto the lawn, dragging long mud trails, getting up and sprinting like a black shadow, only to be thrown again, clearly being chased and beaten.

Chu Nanyi, being Dongdong’s little fanboy, was more anxious than anyone else, rallying the crowd of beauties he picked up from the beach to cheer for Dongdong.

Chu Nanyi took off his shirt, waving it wildly in his hand, awkwardly dancing while shouting: “Sister Dong, you’re the best, the world ain’t right without you! Sister Dong, you’re the strongest, riding a snail to the moon!”

Shangguan Li and Dongdong kept crossing paths, as if they reached some kind of silent consensus, pushing the fighting zone to the sidelines.

Suddenly, with a “dong” sound, Chu Nanyi screamed while being knocked flying.

Because both moved too fast to see clearly, it was unclear who made the move.

After that, the fight in bullet time lasted a full three minutes.

Although Shangguan Li had been overwhelming Dongdong, she was increasingly surprised as the fight wore on.

She could clearly feel the temperature of her artificial spine rising, already somewhat worn out, needing to stop bullet time for a while to cool down.

However, Dongdong’s bullet time seemed limitless, using it seamlessly from start to finish, without any sign of stopping.

Shangguan Li couldn’t help but furrow her brows.

Since when did the Stringently Managed level Profound Cat-type artificial body become so resilient?

How could this guy’s body withstand it?

After another two minutes, Shangguan Li ultimately couldn’t outlast Dongdong and was the first to exit bullet time.

In the next instant, with a heavy “dong” sound, Dongdong’s flying kick solidly hit Shangguan Li.

Despite raising her leg to block, Shangguan Li staggered back several steps under the brute force before she could steady herself.

Dongdong took the upper hand for the first time!

She maintained her relentless assault in bullet time, her form indistinct, only her arrogant laughter ringing out continuously: “Is that it, is that it? I’m just warming up, come again!”

The counterattack frenzy sparked by Dongdong ignited the passion of the spectators, with the Edge Mercenaries either clapping, cheering, or banging soda bottles, madly cheering for their deputy leader.

Undoubtedly, Dongdong, who grew up rough and tumble on the streets, had rich experience in brawling.

She usually seemed impulsive and brainless, always roaring like a barbarian, but in reality, there was subtlety within her roughness.

At the beginning of the clash, she was knocked down by Shangguan Li three times in succession.

Even then, she had already judged that her opponent had exceptional technique, and she was no match in terms of moves.

So she chose the most straightforward method—charge.

It wasn’t a reckless, rage-fueled charge.

Instead, she used charging as a strategy to drag the fight into her area of advantage.

Her strengths lay in her powerful stamina and adaptability to her artificial body.

For ordinary people implanting a Stringently Managed Level 2 artificial spine, using bullet time continuously for two minutes was exceptional.

But for her, even ten minutes wouldn’t be an issue.

What good were Shangguan Li’s skilled moves?

If she couldn’t match her in moves, she’d outlast her.

Activate bullet time, forcing the opponent to activate bullet time too, then outlast them.

Wear out the opponent’s artificial body until it couldn’t handle it anymore, and naturally, the advantage would shift to her side!
