Chapter 26: The First Meeting (2)

As one of Z Nation's four metropolises, A City had always been favored by many large scale event organizers. Since it was a national competition, city hall attached great importance to the martial arts competition this time around. All aspects of the competition, such as publicity and so on, were executed in a grand manner.

Which is why when the three of them alighted, they caught sight of an LED screen at the main entrance that was broadcasting information on competitions from the previous years. And, as luck would have it, it just so happened to be broadcasting Shen Jingbin's very first competition.

The national youth martial arts competition was pretty respectable in Z Nation, and it was Old Master Shen's long standing desire for Shen Jingbin to participate in it.

However, apart from martial arts exhibitions, there were duels as well.

Although Shen Jingbin and Shen Jingchen's parents didn't have the time to look after their children, they still loved them dearly. They couldn't bear to see their adorable little girl fight in a competition. So, whenever Old Master Shen brought the matter up, the two of them used her young age that was easily susceptible to injuries as an excuse for her to not participate.

It was an arduous wait for her to reach the age of eighteen. But when she did, her Grandfather wordlessly registered her in an extremely unyielding manner.

In the past, the two of you used her age as an excuse. Now, she's all grown up. She isn't a child any longer.

By the time her Mother received information from the organizer, the die was cast and there was no going back. She was so furious that she had stomped her foot in anger.

At that time, the calm display of skills she showed off in the exhibition matches allowed her to nab first place without a hitch. However, she had the misfortune of going up against a changquan [1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Changquan] practitioner who was pegged as the crowd favorite for that year.

Although Shen Jingbin wasn't weak and had obtained many trophies throughout her many years of practice, exhibition matches and duels were two different things. Duels consisted of actual battle, which she hadn't participated in up till this point. Her opponent, on the other hand, just so happened to be the complete opposite of her. They didn't amount to much in the exhibition matches, but were a formidable contender when it came to duels.

Many people lamented her unfortunate fate, and even more people felt sorry for her: This was their first time seeing such a beautiful maiden, and she was as beautiful as an angel! But who would've thought that before they even had their fill of her, they would bear witness to the little angel being handily beaten to the point where she looked like a pig's head!

However, when the time came, contrary to everyone's expectations, an astonishing power burst forth from within Shen Jingbin's tiny body, allowing her to lead the tempo of the fight within just ten minutes of the match's commencement.

In a contest between experts, one's level of skill was no longer held the most important. What mattered the most was grasping the tempo of the fight. Her winning was only natural after taking control of the battle's tempo, resulting in her becoming the most popular candidate to win.
