Urban Life: I Just Want To Work Hard!

Chapter 123: Innate Talent! Who Will Remember Second?

"Mubai, you really haven't learned any relevant martial arts before?" Yun Nan, wearing protective gear and a face mask, was panting lightly, her voice full of disbelief.

Li Mubai, also slightly out of breath, smiled and said, "Nan Jie, don't go easy on me."

"No more!" Yun Nan glanced at her waist, where there was a clear white mark.

This was caused by the bamboo sword hitting her. Although Li Mubai immediately reduced his strength, the white ash from the bamboo sword still remained on her body.

The white mark represented Li Mubai's score.

Because there was no referee, she came up with this method.

Li Mubai's growth was too fast, so fast that it astonished Yun Nan.

Innate talent, Yun Nan didn't know how to describe Li Mubai with any other words.

These past few days...

There was almost a big improvement every day, and she witnessed Li Mubai's growth with her own eyes.

At first, it was almost a one-sided battle guided by her, but now she felt extremely difficult, and even felt that she might lose.

Starting from two tender little girls, to holding the sword in the same way as him.

Li Mubai looked at Yun Nan, who was standing at the starting line on the opposite side, and squinted his eyes.

His swordsmanship had just broken through level 6 "240". According to his estimation, Yun Nan was close to reaching level 7 in terms of experience points.

Although it was definitely enough to fight against multiple opponents, when Li Mubai thought about Yun Nan's "cruelty" towards him a few days ago, he wanted to teach this little girl a lesson.

It was really too "cruel". Li Mubai felt that he had been taken advantage of.

What was most infuriating was... he couldn't retaliate.

He couldn't win!

He could understand the concept of a female-dominated world, but being "teased" like this made Li Mubai angry.

After spending 150 points of luck to purchase a "Skill Level Up Card" that increased the "Singing" skill to the divine level, Li Mubai exchanged all the rewards from Yun Wuyue and Xu Shiwen... into free skill experience points, and put them all into "Martial Arts" and "Swordsmanship".

Today was the last day of training, the day to redeem himself!

Taking advantage of Yun Nan's carelessness just now, Li Mubai made a critical hit. The bamboo sword directly hit Yun Nan's buttocks!

Without a doubt, Yun Nan must be furious. Li Mubai had to concentrate one hundred and two hundred percent.

Adjusting his breathing, Li Mubai moved his feet slightly.

Suddenly, Yun Nan violently rose up, going from a standing position to a forward charge in less than 0.1 seconds. The bamboo sword soared into the sky and directly swung towards Li Mubai's head.

It was obvious that Yun Nan was angry and intended to give Li Mubai a painful lesson.

Under Li Mubai's extraordinary reaction speed, his brain came up with several response plans in an instant.

However, Yun Nan's moves were still genuine, with a speed that could be seen as the result of years of practice.

Far surpassing the reaction speed of ordinary humans, Li Mubai waited until Yun Nan's bamboo sword was about to strike without any change in moves before he made his move.

Changing from holding the sword with both hands to holding it with one hand, without moving his feet, Li Mubai only swayed slightly forward and backward.

In an instant.

The bamboo sword brushed against Li Mubai's face mask and descended.

Yun Nan's face still showed a smile, and she was ready to exert force, but she didn't feel the impact she had imagined in the palm of her hand.

Suddenly, she was shocked.

She hurriedly wanted to retract her hand and defend, but Li Mubai was too fast.

All she saw was Li Mubai performing almost the same move as before, holding a wooden sword in his right hand, and swinging it horizontally towards her waist.

"Crack!"

This swing was solid, even causing the flexible wooden sword held by Li Mubai to bend.

Yun Nan's back was hit hard by the bamboo sword.

Li Mubai put about eighty percent of his strength into this strike. Even with armor protection, Yun Nan still raised her neck, covered in fine sweat, and let out a long sigh of "Ah..."

Li Mubai laughed heartily!

He didn't continue and withdrew the bamboo sword.

After all, he had an advantage, whether it was speed or reaction, far surpassing ordinary people.

Yun Nan was strong, but how could she be stronger than Li Mubai with his advantage?

In terms of swordsmanship, Li Mubai was not as good as her, but in terms of physical fitness, Li Mubai believed that he was the best in the world, and no one dared to claim second place!

Even strong girls like Yun Nan couldn't match him!

Yun Nan stumbled and had to take another step towards Li Mubai.

While retracting his right hand, Li Mubai also took a step forward and held Yun Nan's waist with his left hand.

When Yun Nan stabilized herself, Li Mubai withdrew his body and gave Yun Nan a courteous gesture.

Yun Nan also returned the gesture, but her eyes were filled with embarrassment and a hint of anger.

She was actually defeated by a man!

Li Mubai smiled as he took off his face mask and lay down on the training ground, feeling extremely satisfied.

Yun Nan also took off her face mask, walked to Li Mubai's side, bent down, and sat down, staring at Li Mubai with sparkling eyes.

Li Mubai didn't dare to tease Yun Nan. After the 'cruel' torment they had inflicted on each other these past few days, Yun Nan's luck was definitely on the verge of breaking through the limit.

Tomorrow, when he performs on stage, he will definitely receive a big reward!

Allowing Yun Nan to stare at him, Li Mubai closed his eyes and enjoyed the afterglow of satisfaction.

What is the essence of a man?

This is the essence!

After a long time, Li Mubai opened his eyes and looked at Yun Nan tenderly.

"You won't come over tomorrow?" Yun Nan whispered.

Li Mubai reached out his hand, and Yun Nan pulled him up and continued, "After we finish this program, you can teach me how to practice."

He really enjoyed being with Yun Nan. As long as Yun Nan didn't explode, Li Mubai was willing to practice with her every day.

He was afraid of something... Yun Nan's loyalty to Yun Wuyue suddenly surpassed her feelings for him.

If there was a possibility of a car accident, Li Mubai would never give her that chance.

The safest way was to wait for Yun Nan to break through her unlimited luck and then find an opportunity to eat her.

In this way... Yun Nan would no longer have the possibility of "betraying" Li Mubai.

After all, "betraying" Li Mubai would be "betraying" herself.

She would only indulge in Li Mubai's "beauty" and become more and more depraved.

Yun Nan heard that Li Mubai was willing to practice with her in the future and joy appeared on her face.

"Well... go take a shower. I'll take you back after you're done."

"Okay."

Li Mubai stood up and went into the bathroom in the training room. After a quick rinse, he changed into the clothes he had worn before.

When he went out, Yun Nan had already finished dressing and blow-drying her hair.

Li Mubai wanted to get the hairdryer, but Yun Nan walked over and said, "Let me do it for you."

"Okay."

Li Mubai let Yun Nan carefully blow-dry his hair, and soon the two of them left.

Yun Nan drove Li Mubai back to the KTV on the side of the road. Li Mubai got out of the car, opened the door with his key, and went upstairs.

He went straight to Yun Nan's bedroom door, but she wasn't there...

He pushed open Xu Shiwen's music room next door.

Sure enough.

Xu Shiwen was wearing headphones, holding her slender and fair arms, and nodding gently with her eyes closed, following the music.

Helplessly smiling, Li Mubai went to the kitchen next door to start cooking.

He put rice in the rice cooker.

Skillfully chopping the grass carp into large pieces, marinating it with salt, cooking wine, and ginger to remove the fishy smell.

He boiled a pot of water, and after it was ready, he skillfully cut the potatoes into shreds, blanched them, and then started to cool them.

The cold potato shreds were ready.

Just as the fish chunks were done marinating, Li Mubai deep-fried them in cornstarch and took them out.

After preparing the seasoning, he poured it into the pan and stir-fried it. After seasoning, the rice was ready.

Li Mubai returned to Xu Shiwen's music room and saw her focused on the computer.

He walked over and tapped on the table in front of Xu Shiwen, saying, "Shiwen, I'm back."

"You're back?"

"I've finished cooking!"

"Then let's eat!"

Xu Shiwen said, but she didn't move.

Only then did Li Mubai look at the computer. It turned out to be the list of the fourteen singers who will be on stage for "I Am a Singer" this time.

The online discussion was very intense.

The main topic of discussion was He Ziqiu, who had been away from the music industry for a long time, and Xu Shiwen, who had retired.

There were also discussions about Li Mubai, but they were few. Li Mubai hadn't really made a name for himself yet.

Li Mubai glanced at it and then looked away.

He wasn't very interested in this aspect. He had no interest in becoming a celebrity or anything like that.

"He Ziqiu's partner is Jiang Zhi, a newcomer from Xueying Entertainment who debuted last year. She's quite talented for a newcomer."

"Quite talented?"

Li Mubai raised an eyebrow. If Xu Shiwen said she was quite talented, then she must be really good.

"She's definitely not as good as you, but for a newcomer, she's already at a much higher level. It's a bit of a pity..."

Li Mubai pondered for a few seconds.

Only then did he understand what Xu Shiwen meant.

In this competition, if Li Mubai didn't participate, it would definitely be a great opportunity for Jiang Zhi to become famous. Maybe this would be the starting point for her singing career.

But if Li Mubai did participate, her brilliance would definitely be overshadowed.

After all, 4.8...

Do you know the name of the second highest mountain in the world?

It's the same logic.

Moreover, in the entertainment industry, opportunities are hard to come by, especially for female singers nowadays, it's becoming increasingly difficult to stand out.

And with Li Mubai's looks, one can imagine how the flow of attention would be divided.

Li Mubai smiled at Xu Shiwen.

Xu Shiwen was still willing to help her juniors.

Just like their duet, Xu Shiwen insisted on letting him take the lead.

But... what does this have to do with him?

Li Mubai walked with Xu Shiwen to the dining table in the living room, recalling the original novel's plot.

Jiang Zhi?

Was she a supporting character?

He forgot, but he would find out when they meet.
