Although Li Yang knew that his bout with Ye Qiu had somewhat been orchestrated by Xu Shaohua, he still stepped forward.
Every person has vanity, and Li Yang too wanted to show off his skills in front of everyone.
So, even though he felt a bit of unease, he did not decline.
Moreover, Ye Qiu had agreed to the challenge.
If he were to refuse, wouldn't he be accused of being afraid?
Having decided to showcase his abilities, Li Yang's intention was to end the match quickly. After so many years of rigorous military training, his strength was such that he could take on four or five people, even seven or eight, without a problem.
Ye Qiu looked thin and didn't seem like a physically strong person, nor did Li Yang perceive any aura of a great warrior in him.
But Li Yang still exerted fifty percent of his strength, intending to defeat Ye Qiu with the force of a thunderbolt.
Since he was going to make a move, he might as well do it impressively.
