Chapter 509 – Comrade Killed In Battle

nI’m not sure if Di Yun trained day and night with becoming larger and stronger like ultraman as his goal, but he has a surprising amount of endurance and power contained within his skinny frame.

nThese kinds of people have a screw loose, but have an unusual talent in a certain area, the so-called “rain man”.

nSuddenly, it occurred to me that I had fought hundreds of fights ever since I set out to be a Spartan, but this was the only fight for Xiao Qin. She was neither an opponent nor an unrelated party, she was right behind me cheering me on with her eyes wide open.

nI had sworn I wouldn’t lose to anyone my age other than the Little Tyrant, so how could I lose to Di Yun while Xiao Qin was watching? Plus, as far as I could see, Di Yun seemed to be a year younger than me.

nSo I concentrated, I dodged Di Yun’s rabid dog attacks while thinking of a good way to break through.

nSeeing that I was only defending but not attacking, Zhao GuangTou thought his plan had succeeded and he burst into laughter “What, are you scared? It’s not hard to find a hired thug like you who doesn’t care about their life as long as you are willing to spend some time to search.”

nThen he tapped his head with his finger and said, “In today’s society, the most important thing is politics. Someone like you who could only risk their lives will live the rest of their lives working for people like us.”

nI saw his two rows of white teeth glistening in the sun and said sarcastically: “Zhao, does it hurt getting porcelain teeth? Would you get half off the next time you get a full set of porcelain teeth?”

nThe last time he blocked me and the class leader in the alley, I heard one of Zhao GuangTou’s colleagues had injured brother Gang’s hands, so I went berserk and knocked out all of Zhao GuangTou’s teeth with a steel pipe. None of his current teeth are genuine goods.

nBut it is a lot whiter than before and definitely improved his appalling appearance a bit, so it could be considered a good deed.

nZhao GuangTou subconsciously touched his cheek, as if he still had lingering fears at the dentist.

n“Di Yun, beat him to death!” Zhao GuangTou said angrily, “As long as you defeat Ye Lin, I’ll buy you a full set of Ultraman models imported from Japan.”

nDi Yun’s martial arts was really hard to deal with. I should be able to win if I used berserker mode, but I never use it in front of allies, because it’s too humiliating.

nIf I screamed out chunni lines like “ashes to ashes, dust to dust; to the end of the world.” in front of Xiao Qin, she would laugh at me.

nDi Yun, who was constantly yelling out Ultraman moves, was a real portrayal of me in the berserker state. I really feel ashamed for him, and I really feel ashamed for myself.

n“Ye Lin classmate, do you need my help?”

nXiao Qin watched our battle and became more interested. She also unconsciously imitated some of Di Yun’s attack movements, did she already reach a new realm of martial arts? But I don’t think his movements are suitable for a girl to learn and use.

n“No need, I’ll deal with him alone.”

nI might have been trying to act brave, but the main factor was that Di Yun wasn’t a part of Zhao GuangTou’s gang, but just a “Rain Man” who was bribed with Ultraman models.

nI didn’t want to hurt Di Yun from the bottom of my heart. His love for Ultraman models was no different than my former love for brother Optimus Prime (of course, I don’t like playing with toy robots anymore, really).

n

n

n“Di Yun, I’m not going to take Ultraman away from you.” I tried to convince him, “Stop, don’t you know that Zhao GuanTou is just using you?”

n“No one can take away my Ultraman, no one,.” Di Yun teeth clenched, completely unable to listen to my words, and attacked more frequently.

nI’ll be damned, he lifted his body up with two hands and performed a chain of kicks and he nearly kicked my jaw. It was street dance moves but with 120% power. His attack were too creative and too unexpected.

nNo, if my opponent was too flexible and I wasn’t going to go all out, then my only choice was a tackle.

nI was still larger and stronger, so as long as I hold on tightly he will have to give up his creative moves. Two men hugging together looks a bit unattractive, but it’s fine as long as it works since Spartans don’t care about being a little unsightly.

nAfter making up my mind, I tried to jump in several times and grab Di Yun around the waist, but he reacted quickly and dodged within a hair’s breadth every time. He was also able to take advantage of the opportunity to counterattack.

nWhen would this fight come to an end? As I was troubled, I realized Zhao GuangTou quietly whispered with his men and they quietly began to retreat.

nIt was because he heard from his men that Xiao Qin had strength at least on par to mines. They had high hopes in Di Yun, but he was only able to fight on par with me. After carefully weighing the situation, they realized they were disadvantaged, so they decided to let Di Yun stall for time while they retreated.

nIt was spineless. I didn’t think the mindset of “let the leader go first” existed in hooligan circles too.

n“Don’t let them get away!” I subconsciously shouted to Xiao Qin, only to remember she had androphobia and would only fight them in her darkened state. Xiao Qin certainly didn’t want to use her darkened state in front of me like how I don’t want to enter berserker mode in front of her.

nHowever, Xiao Qin moved quickly at my shout.

nZhao GuangTou, like a startled, transitioned from a slow retreat to a full on sprint.

nBut Xiao Qin’s first target wasn’t Zhao GuangTou. In a couple of steps, she flew by the wall and picked up the Ultraman model that Di Yun had placed there.

n“(^__^) Hehehe…” Xiao Qin looked at Di Yun’s back with malicious intentions. I suddenly felt sick, like the day when Optimus Prime was snatched away from me.

nI thought Xiao Qin would choke the Ultraman model and say to Di Yun, “Stop or I’ll choke him to death.”

nBut Xiao Qin didn’t do that. She took the Ultraman model, and while Di Yun was distracted, she flew after Zhao GuangTou, who was running the slowest because he had just been discharged from the hospital. She then shoved the Ultraman model violently into Zhao GuangTou’s pocket.

nThen she cupped her hands around her mouth to act as an amplifier and shouted: “Not good, Ultraman was caught by the bad guys, can anyone save him!”

nDi Yun’s face immediately turned blue, he used his peripheral vision to glance towards the wall and the Ultraman model was no longer there.

n“Ahhh… ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..”

nDi Yun’s roar was somewhere in between one of a gorilla and an alien. He snapped his head back and saw part of Ultraman sticking out from Zhao GuangTou’s pocket. You could actually only see its two feet, which meant Xiao Qin really did stick it in there with a lot of force.

n“Ultraman, give me back Ultraman, otherwise, I, will, be, angry….”

nDi Yun declared, then he left me alone and turned around to chase after Zhao GuangTou and the others as he vowed to get Ultraman back.

nZhao GuangTou could see Di Yun’s distorted face as he got closer and he couldn’t pull the Ultraman model out in a moment of desperation. His anxious face was completely red and he could only say:

n“Di Yun, calm down. I’ll put Ultraman down, just don’t come after me.”

nBut Di Yun looked like a mad dog who had his bone snatched away by Zhao GuangTou and he couldn’t be reasoned with.

nIn a panic, Zhao GuangTou exerted all his strength and gave the Ultraman model a hard tug and it finally came out.

n

n

nUnfortunately, only half out, Lord Ultraman was split in half. Was it because Zhao GuangTou got greedy and bought cheap goods, or was it because Xiao Qin tampered with it? Based on how Xiao Qin covered her mouth and snickered, the possibility of the latter was greater.

nZhao GuangTou’s lips turned purple with fright when he saw Di Yun’s precious Ultraman broken in two halves. He quickly said:

n“Don’t get mad, I’ll buy you a new one. I’ll buy you a better one.”

nDi Yun’s eyes were bloodshot. He bit his lips to the point it almost bled and said hatefully:

n“Can a life be bought back with money? My comrade-in-arms was killed by you and I have to avenge him.”

n“Taste my beam. I’ll use all my energy and not leave any material behind. Die, die, die, die….”

n“My brother-in-arms, don’t be afraid. I’ll freeze your body and bring you back to the Land of Light.”

n“The spirit of Ultraman lives forever in your heart and all enemies fly into oblivion.”

nDriven by rage, Di Yun caught up with Zhao GuangTou from behind and used all the Ultraman moves he could remember on Zhao GuangTou.

nI could only say the scene was too tragic. Di Yun hit Zhao GuangTou while sitting on top of his stomach. Zhao GuangTou initially struggled a bit then he completely stopped moving.

nAfter this battle, not sure if it was because Zhao GuangTou was bald and didn’t have any cushioning, but he got a concussion and developed transient global amnesia. From then on, he could no longer play with “politics”, sometimes he would even forget on the way to the washroom and only remembered when he pissed his pants. I guess what goes around comes around.

nAs for Di Yun, although he was prosecuted for assault, but was evaluated to be mentally ill and he was a minor, so he was not punished by law.

nBut the reason he was involved in the lawsuit was because Xiao Qin broke his Ultraman. I later found out Di Yun’s real name and home address out of guilt and sent him an identical Ultraman based on memories with a message: “Don’t be sad, I’ve been resurrected.”

nApparently, Di Yun cried tears of joy after he received the model. His mental state was really at a child’s level.

nAfter accidentally finishing off one of the evil forces, Zhao GuangTou, Xiao Qin looked happy because she was able to vent her anger and she didn’t fuss about my misunderstanding of her.
