However, Horikita, who had just begun to recover, wilted again upon hearing Bai Lan's question, instantly reverting to her limp and spineless state.
"You, you leave me alone, just let go," Horikita said, her head bowed, looking very reluctant to tell Bai Lan the truth and appearing guilty.
Why did Horikita feel guilty?
Bai Lan deduced a possibility: Could it be that Horikita felt it was only natural for the boy in front of her to slap her? As for the reason, given Horikita's strong personality, it was probably something that was very embarrassing for her, so she found it difficult to talk about and was unwilling to say it.
Of course, it's also possible that the boy has some important leverage over Horikita, leaving her unable to resist and forced to comply.
Which one is it?
It’s difficult.
Bai Lan quickly made a decision.
Since Horikita wouldn't tell him the truth or ask him for help, Bai Lan decided to lie low and observe secretly before making a decision.
Thinking of this, Bai Lan let go of his hand and prepared to turn and leave.
He remembered a good spot nearby where he could lie in wait and eavesdrop later...
As Bai Lan pondered this, she turned to leave.
However, at that moment, a sound of wind breaking through the air rang out.
Bai Lan's self-preservation instinct, cultivated over many years, triggered a frantic alarm.
Bai Lan tilted her head and dodged a punch.
After instinctively dodging, Bai Lan reacted almost simultaneously and launched a counterattack.
He raised his leg and kicked.
Just like when she kicked Longyuan last time, in order not to challenge the criminal law, Bai Lan subconsciously controlled the power of this kick.
More of a pushing force than a destructive one.
To Bai Lan's surprise, the boy's reaction speed was much faster than he had expected.
Just before Bai Lan's attack landed, the boy instantly assumed a fighting stance, raising his hands in a cross shape in front of his chest.
The next moment, Bai Lan stepped on the boy's arm.
The boy instantly felt a terrifying force coming from his arm.
Instead of confronting it head-on, he transformed his body into water flowing with the current, avoiding its sharp edge and going with the flow. He pulled his hands back to the side and behind his body in the direction of the force, and took a step back as well.
Finally, he pushed his hands outwards, shoving his foot, which had already lost most of its strength and was now at its last gasp, aside.
Bai Lan was somewhat surprised by this.
That boy was actually able to react to Bai Lan's actions under the [Overlord's Body] buff?
Although Bai Lan's movements were somewhat halting and slower due to her need to control her power.
However, the fact that the opponent was able to react in time to seize the moment when the setback occurred shows that the opponent himself has excellent skills.
Bai Lan instantly made a preliminary assessment of the boy's fighting skills: "This person's martial arts are no less than mine!"
Of course, this refers to the normal situation.
Unfortunately, Bai Lan is not normal.
Bai Lan is cheating!
The boy seemed to have successfully deflected Bai Lan's attack, but he was actually not feeling well either.
The force-dissipating effect is not 100% effective; ultimately, some of the force still lands on the boy.
Even after the force is released, the remaining force still makes the boy feel very uncomfortable.
He felt a sharp pain erupt from the spot on his arm where Bai Lan had stepped on him, and at the same time, he felt that area seem to stiffen.
If nothing unexpected happens, that area is probably swollen up quite a bit.
However, the boy ignored his own pain and his first reaction was to seize the opportunity to subdue Bai Lan.
Yes, the boy saw an opportunity to subdue Bai Lan.
After he pushes Bai Lan's foot away, Bai Lan will lose her balance and will be unable to move normally for a short period of time.
In addition, the boy's initial stance was with his body turned to the left and facing Bai Lan.
Bai Lan kicked him with her right foot.
Therefore, after he pushes Bai Lan's foot away, there will be a moment when Bai Lan turns her back to him.
This is an opportunity.
Although Bai Lan's speed and strength were somewhat exaggerated, the outcome of a battle is never determined solely by strength and speed. He believed that the difference in strength could be made up for with skill, and that they could fight.
Taking advantage of Bai Lan's unsteady center of gravity, the boy leaned close, then stretched his left foot in front of Bai Lan's ankle, pressing his left knee behind the back of Bai Lan's supporting leg.
Next, he only needs to bend his left leg slightly, which will disrupt Bai Lan's supporting leg's point of leverage. Bai Lan will fall forward instantly. At that time, he only needs to press forward, grab the opponent's left hand, and quickly use a joint lock on the left hand to completely subdue him.
This set of movements has been ingrained in the boy's muscle memory, requiring no thought and without any hesitation.
Soon, the boy wedges his left foot around Bai Lan's left ankle, presses his left knee against the back of Bai Lan's left knee, and forcefully bends his left leg.
Bai Lan's originally straight supporting leg was instantly bent under the pressure, and it looked like Bai Lan would fall over due to the loss of support.
However, the next moment, the supporting leg, which had been completely crushed, suddenly straightened up and pushed the boy's bent left leg back into place.
Upon seeing this, the boy was immediately startled.
Logically speaking, the back of the knee should be a weak point for joint power generation, but the force he exerted when he pressed down with his knee was not just the force of the knee joint, but also included the weight of most of his body!
The boy's entire body, weighing over a hundred pounds, was pressed down on the opponent's small knee joint through his knee. Combined with the leverage created by the joint lock, the opponent should have been unable to withstand it.
However, Bai Lan endured it!
The next moment, a whooshing sound rang out.
Bai Lan's right foot, which had been pushed away by the boy, changed its move in mid-air before it even landed. It swept backwards from the boy's left side, aiming for his chin.
The boy didn't have time to dodge and could only stretch out his arms to cover his chin.
The boy blocked it.
But it didn't completely block it.
After Bai Lan realized that the boy was quite strong, she used a little more force.
The boy couldn't withstand Bai Lan's strength and stumbled back several steps.
Bai Lan chased after him, still using her feet.
He kicked the man in the chest.
The boy quickly reached out to block.
However, as he was backing away, he lost his balance and was unable to connect with the ground, resulting in Bai Lan kicking him several meters away, where he rolled several times after landing.
Bai Lan looked up and glanced at it.
Once he was sure the other person was in the "golden view" of the surveillance camera, he nodded and quickly walked over.
After rolling a few times upon landing, the boy quickly got up.
Before he could fully stand up, Bai Lan had already rushed in front of him and delivered another ordinary, raised leg kick.
The boy, who had already caught Bai Lan's kicks three times with his hands, realized that he had no strength left in his hands and was unable to use them to block.
Since we can't block it, we can only try to dodge it.
The problem is, the guy felt he couldn't dodge it, so he blocked it, right?
Therefore, the boy failed to dodge successfully, only managing to slightly turn his body to the side, using his intact right upper arm to take the kick from Bai Lan.
To avoid kicking the boy out of the "golden angle" of the surveillance camera, Bai Lan didn't use much force in her kick.
However, because the boy hadn't had time to stand properly and his stance wasn't good for bearing weight, he was kicked down by Bai Lan again.
After the boy fell down again.
After seeing the boy fall, Bai Lan did not continue her attack, but waited for him to get up.
If the opponent falls down and doesn't get up, it's equivalent to admitting defeat. In this case, Bai Lan won't continue to chase and attack.
Before the boy could decide whether to get up and continue fighting...
"Stop! Stop! Stop fighting!"
91. They attacked the student council president? Wouldn't that be even better?
"Stop! Stop! Stop fighting!"
Horikita suddenly ran over, stood between Shirai and the boy, and shouted loudly, trying to stop the fight.
No, this isn't a fight at all; it's clearly a one-sided beating.
"Step aside."
Bai Lan responded ruthlessly to Horikita's attempts to dissuade her.
"This is between him and me. I don't need your help. Please stop interfering in our affairs!"
Horikita rarely spoke to Shirai in such a pleading tone. After speaking, she immediately went to the boy's side, squatted down, and tried to check his wounds, asking with concern, "Are you... are you alright?"
At this moment, Bai Lan seemed to have been tickled by something funny and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Horikita frowned as she listened to Bai Lan's laughter and couldn't help but ask.
"What are you laughing at?" Bai Lan rubbed her stomach, seemingly trying to soothe her abs that were about to burst from laughing, and then said while laughing, "Horikita-kun, you still have that overconfident look on your face."
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean? Please! While I am indeed curious about what happened between you two, I am not the kind of person who has to meddle in everything."
Although I've said that I can't help but take action when I see something I don't like, I'm not the kind of person who immediately thinks men are wrong just because they attack women.
I am an egalitarian.
Some women deserve to be beaten, and I would never stop such people from being beaten; I might even be thinking of joining in.
Before I understand your situation, I cannot determine right from wrong between you, nor can I make a move until I find something that I dislike.
I was originally planning to leave.
