A murderous aura, chilling to the bone!
Danger looms!
Facing Tang Xiao, who was both a beautiful War King and a domineering president, Wu Jie felt for the first time what it meant to be overwhelmingly powerful.
This invisible, lethal momentum was enough to make one's heart palpitate with fear.
If it were a faint-hearted person, they would probably be shivering with fear, knocking heads in apology by now.
But Wu Jie...
"Afraid of what? I've got the system within me now, afraid my ass!"
Thinking to himself, Wu Jie immediately summoned the system.
"This chick is too fierce, is there any way to save my life?"
System: "Based on Tang Xiao's strength assessment, it is recommended that the host spends 10,000 energy points to exchange for Combat Athlete Skills, which will be effective for 30 minutes. Would you like to exchange?"
"10,000 points? For just fucking thirty minutes?"
System: "Tang Xiao is continuously approaching. Do you wish to exchange?"
"Exchange exchange exchange! Dammit, hurry up!"
In an instant!
A warm current swept through his body, and Wu Jie suddenly felt agile and as if he had inexhaustible strength.
At that moment, however, Tang Xiao did not attack. Instead, she circled behind Wu Jie and checked the back of his head.
"I pushed you down with such force, and you even hit the ground with the back of your head, but you don't have a scratch?" Tang Xiao's eyebrows knitted tightly together as she curiously asked, "Have you practiced martial arts?"
Wu Jie shook his head repeatedly.
"Then where did you get the guts to bully me?"
Tang Xiao's eyes suddenly turned icy, and she threw a heavy punch directly at Wu Jie's abdomen.
It's not proper to hit the face, and besides, he was an employee of the company.
Tang Xiao was very clear about her own strength. If she had punched the head, Wu Jie would have either died or suffered a severe concussion.
But she really couldn't swallow her pride, so she had no choice but to aim for Wu Jie's stomach.
However...
Something strange happened.
Wu Jie managed to instantly lower his arms and deflected Tang Xiao's heavy punch.
Huh?
Didn't he say he hadn't practiced martial arts? Could it be a reflex reaction?
Tang Xiao felt a chill in her heart and quickly swung her arm, throwing another hook punch.
Whoosh!
The fist sliced through the air, so fast it seemed to tear the air apart.
Wu Jie dodged lightning-fast, narrowly avoiding Tang Xiao's heavy punch, and immediately retreated backward, swiftly increasing the distance between them.
The heavy punch was parried!
The hook punch missed?
Even if she'd been injured in the past and was no longer as strong as she used to be, it wasn't possible that she couldn't even beat an ordinary man, right?
Tang Xiao's eyebrows furrowed tightly, her gaze fixed sharply on Wu Jie.
"Liar!!"
"You've definitely practiced martial arts!"
"Since that's the case, it makes things easier! Come on! If you can beat me, I'll forget all about what happened earlier!"
Saying this, Tang Xiao took a combat stance.
Wu Jie was amazed in his heart, the skills exchanged with energy points were indeed impressive.
He had never practiced martial arts, but at this moment, he was able to respond with ease.
It was as if he were a martial arts expert who had trained for years, reaching a state of unflappable composure.
Of course.
The skills were exchanged for self-defense, not to compete with the beautiful president Tang Xiao.
Who would be so foolish as to fight with their own boss?
No matter whether he won or lost, the outcome would be utterly miserable.
So...
"President Tang, I didn't do it on purpose; it was really an accident!"
Tang Xiao's lips curled into a cold smile, she said mockingly, "I don't care if it was an accident, take this!!!"
As soon as his words fell, he pounced like a cheetah.
Heavy punches in succession, kick after kick!
The ferocious and sharp offensive left Wu Jie exhausted in defense, without the slightest bit of resistance.
"Don't... don't hit me anymore!"
"I will! I'll beat you to death, you bastard!"
...
Wu Jie dared not shout anymore.
The more he spoke, the angrier Tang Xiao became, and the stronger her punches and kicks got. She also hated herself more and more.
Several times, Wu Jie felt like he had an opportunity to fight back, but then he thought better of it.
A true man doesn't fight with women!
After all, she was the president of a listed billion-dollar corporation who was at a disadvantage. Letting her vent her anger was harmless, wasn't it?
Once he made up his mind, Wu Jie simply focused entirely on defense.
The Combat Athlete Skills obtained by spending ten thousand energy points were more than enough for defense.
What's more, Tang Xiao's continuous hatred for Wu Jie, each time adding +10000, might soon be enough to complete the system task.
However...
An accident suddenly occurred.
After Tang Xiao attacked many times in a row, a sudden whip kick came over, which Wu Jie dodged. But she failed to stabilize her center of gravity.
Snap~
Tang Xiao rolled in the air and fell heavily, then curled up in agony, clutching her waist.
Ah!
Tang Xiao's expression was one of pain; her body curled up with her right hand pressing tightly against her lumbar region.
Wu Jie was stunned.
"What's the situation? Did you hurt your waist before severely injuring me? Or is it an old wound that flared up?"
"Certainly, this isn't a trick, right? Playing the martyr? Damn, could it be you're trying to scam me?"
Wu Jie thought silently to himself, but after looking carefully, he felt that it wasn't fake.
He approached and squatted down, asking with concern,
"President Tang, what happened to you?"
Tang Xiao clenched her teeth and glared resentfully and furiously at Wu Jie.
That expression... Those eyes...
She was probably too much in pain to speak.
Following her arm, Wu Jie saw where she was pressing and suddenly remembered the legend about Tang Xiao's military discharge.
It was said that during an engagement, she was covering her comrades' retreat under heavy gunfire and was unfortunately shot; the bullet remains lodged in her spine to this day.
The spine, responsible for bearing the body's weight and containing many nerves controlling movement, sensation, and balance, is crucial.
While the bullet lodged in a section of her spine doesn't affect everyday life and light exercise,
The risks of removing it are too high; any slight mishap could leave her paralyzed.
No hospital in the world dares to perform this highly risky surgery,
Forced to retire, Tang Xiao underwent conservative treatment but was strictly prohibited from engaging in vigorous exercise.
Of course, running and swimming didn't count, and the occasional boxing bag session was fine.
But this accident...
In her fury, she had forgotten her doctor's warnings.
In her relentless attack on Wu Jie, not only did she fail to knock him down, but she also exacerbated her old injury, leaving her in too much pain to even speak.
Seeing Tang Xiao in such excruciating pain, Wu Jie immediately took out his mobile phone ready to call for help.
However, Tang Xiao shook her head repeatedly at the sight.
"You're hurt like this, and you still don't want me to call?"
Mustering all her strength, Tang Xiao managed to speak, "Old problem, ambulances won't help! Go, get the bag! The blue bottle! Hurry!!"
Wu Jie quickly got up, grabbed the handbag from the table, and opened it to look.
There were no lipsticks, powder foundations, or makeup mirrors, just all sorts of medicine.
He found the blue bottle, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to Tang Xiao; it was a small syringe.
Tang Xiao took one needle and plunged it into her lumbar spine fiercely.
After the pale blue liquid was injected, she collapsed to the ground as if drained of all strength...
