Chapter 245: Chapter 245: We Must Slap Their Faces Hard

Wang Chenning’s words earned loud cheers and enthusiastic applause from the Huaxia exchange delegation.

Zheng Chusheng had originally wanted to stop everyone from speaking out, but after seeing Wang Chenning step forward, he could only stand by helplessly.

Afterwards, Wang Chenning brought up the old point again, asking the South Korean students present in Korean, "I’d like to know, how many of you can speak and write Chinese? If you can, please raise your hand. If no one does, then we’ll just assume none of you can. And if that’s the case, this whole claim of inheriting our culture is just you slapping yourselves in the face!"

After a slight hesitation, a few students raised their hands, but the number was in the single digits.

Moreover, only a few of them spoke somewhat fluent Chinese. The rest just hemmed and hawed.

"I know you won’t concede our claim to being the originators just because of a few words. If you don’t, we can have a competition!" Wang Chenning said, walking to the center of the classroom and facing the students from both sides with the air of a leader. "I imagine that when it comes to traditional skills, an ordinary person like me can wipe the floor with your scholars. And take note—I said scholars, not students."

Wang Chenning’s blatant provocation naturally angered the professor and his students. With a cold expression, the professor said, "Then please, student from Huaxia, show us these ultimate techniques of yours. If you want a competition of traditional skills, we will gladly oblige!"

Yang Xiaofu hadn’t said a word. She was on her phone for most of the time.

She had taken a photo and sent it to someone to look up the professor’s information.

Soon, the professor’s file arrived on her phone.

The color drained from her face when she saw it.

It turned out this South Korean, Jin Yinggong, wasn’t an ordinary history teacher. He was a professor at Seoul University, a renowned scholar who researched the Chinese language and classical Huaxia literature, and a doctoral advisor in history. She came to a conclusion: the South Koreans had deliberately arranged for them to sit in on Jin Yinggong’s class. The goal was to have Jin Yinggong humiliate them.

She immediately sent Jin Yinggong’s information and a warning to Wang Chenning.

Worried that Wang Chenning might not see it, she even sent multiple alerts.

After seeing Yang Xiaofu’s message, Wang Chenning realized this was a trap set by the South Koreans, designed to lure the Huaxia delegation in. However, he wasn’t worried about falling for it.

"Since this is a cultural exchange, there are bound to be differences in opinion. When opinions differ, we can continue to discuss them, or we can put our skills to the test!" Pu Zhenghe, the vice-president of Seoul University, finally spoke up. "Since both our students and faculty are interested in competing, Director Zheng, how about we allow them to have a match?"

After a moment of thought, Zheng Chusheng finally agreed. "Then let’s allow our students and teachers to have a friendly competition!"

The previous night, he had received special instructions: if Wang Chenning made any bold moves, he was not to interfere, but to support him. Since the order had come from the higher-ups, he had no choice but to support Wang Chenning’s actions today.

Seeing that the leaders on both sides had not stopped the competition, Wang Chenning was overjoyed. "Martial Arts, tea ceremony, music, Go, calligraphy, and painting—these are the main expressions of traditional culture. How about we compete in these?"

"Agreed!" Jin Yinggong replied without hesitation.

After some discussion, the two sides decided to compete in five events: Martial Arts, tea ceremony, zither performance, calligraphy, and Go. For each event, both sides would select one participant, and each side would also appoint three members to a panel of judges.

Wang Chenning did not hesitate to claim a spot in the competition for himself.

Many members of the delegation knew how formidable Wang Chenning’s skills were. After he became the center of attention at the airport upon their arrival yesterday, a lot of gossip about him had begun to circulate.

Wang Chenning’s medical skills, Martial Arts, and romantic affairs became hot topics of conversation. Even if he hadn’t volunteered, the others would have nominated him.

The first event of the competition was Martial Arts.

The student who stepped up to compete was named Li Chengchang.

The moment the student stepped forward, Wang Chenning could tell he was no ordinary person.

Li Chengchang likely came from a good background; he carried an innate aristocratic air. Moreover, his skills were out of the ordinary—he was clearly a trained fighter.

As Wang Chenning prepared to enter the competition area, both Yang Xiaofu and Zhao Xiao’an came over to cheer him on.

Zhao Xiao’an had been with the delegation all day as a reporter, but she had kept a low profile and hadn’t interacted much with Wang Chenning.

After receiving Wang Chenning’s promise the previous night, she felt much more at ease.

’No matter what, I’m the one Wang Chenning likes and cares about the most.’ Knowing this, her confidence surged, and she no longer felt the slightest bit threatened by Yang Xiaofu.

Yang Xiaofu was naturally concerned for Wang Chenning. Even though she knew he was a formidable fighter, she still worried that an accident might happen.

Seeing the worry on both women’s faces, Wang Chenning immediately set their minds at ease.

"It’s like using a butcher’s knife to kill a chicken. Just remember that idiom!"

Hearing him say that, the two women looked at each other and smiled, their worries vanishing.

Many people knew it was often difficult to determine a clear winner in a friendly cultural competition. Events like calligraphy, painting, and the tea ceremony involved a great deal of subjective judgment. But Martial Arts and Go, on the other hand, had very clear outcomes.

The South Koreans had proposed Martial Arts as the first event. Ostensibly, this was because the winner would be clear-cut, but everyone knew their real intention was to intimidate the Huaxia delegation right from the start.

Li Chengchang came out in a Taekwondo uniform. It was only then that many realized he was a Taekwondo master—a 5th dan black belt. To reach the rank of 5th dan black belt while still a student was an accomplishment very few people in the world could claim.

Upon learning this, many members of the Huaxia delegation instantly grew worried for Wang Chenning.

When the South Korean students heard that Li Chengchang was going to fight a member of the Huaxia delegation, many of them flocked to watch.

They were well aware of Li Chengchang’s strength. He was a master capable of wiping the floor with 6th and 7th dan black belts. If not for his age and a few other restrictions, he would have already achieved an even higher rank.

Almost every South Korean student believed Li Chengchang could defeat the delegate from Huaxia with just one hand.

Li Chengchang was also very handsome, with looks and a presence that rivaled Wang Chenning’s. The moment he appeared, he drew gasps of admiration from many of the female students.

Almost every member of the Huaxia delegation cheered for Wang Chenning, but since there were so few of them, their energy was no match for the South Korean students. Their cheers were instantly swallowed by the opposing crowd.

This infuriated Zhao Xiao’an and Yang Xiaofu, but there was nothing they could do about it.

Zhao Xiao’an, however, was still full of confidence in Wang Chenning. As he casually strolled to the competition area with almost no warm-up, she immediately posted on Weibo.

"Due to the arrogance and provocation of the people from South Korea, our delegation is competing with them in traditional skills. They insisted on making Martial Arts the first event, and their intentions are obvious to everyone. But your big sis here still has complete faith in Teacher Wang! I believe he’ll win the first battle and defeat them fair and square."

Her Weibo post immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

Many people left comments asking Zhao Xiao’an to start a Weibo livestream.

Zhao Xiao’an, who initially hadn’t been in the mood to deal with comments, was persuaded after seeing the surprisingly unanimous demand. She started a Weibo livestream, and her channel was soon flooded with tens of thousands of viewers.

By the time she had the live feed signal stabilized, Wang Chenning and Li Chengchang were on the floor, ready for the match to begin...
