"I think this androgynous person might not be simple either. Have you heard the story of the sweeping monk... He seems to love sweeping."

Everyone was throwing out lines about the androgynous person, leaving Li Pu feeling rather frustrated.

It was similar to everyone taking turns whispering "runner-up" into Ah Yajun's ears.

If there's blame to assign, it's on that fat penguin. I'll have to settle the score with it later.

But to be fair, the contestants' reactions are understandable, all because the Kungfu Spring is too precious.

The Kungfu Spring holds significant importance for Kung-fu beasts.

In fact, not all Kung-fu beasts willingly submit to the Kung-fu Kings. They do so entirely because of this Kungfu Spring.

Only by obtaining enough Kungfu Spring can their strength grow even stronger.

Some contestants join this King of Kings competition solely for a sip of the Kungfu Spring.

Some of them, even if they suffer serious injuries in the ring, won't easily use the Kungfu Spring; they'd rather use their own methods to heal.

The reason is to save those bottles of Kungfu Spring to take them back... for a bath.

Yes, although it sounds extravagant, Kungfu Spring is indeed best used for soaking.

In such circumstances, larger Kung-fu beasts are at a disadvantage because they need more Kungfu Spring for soaking.

Anyway, now that Scarecrow blatantly handed over its share of the Kungfu Spring to Li Pu, they couldn't understand it.

Scarecrow and the Alpaca Girl's fight didn't damage the arena much, so soon it was Li Pu's turn to face Alpaca Bro.

Before heading out, Scarecrow thought it should help boost his morale.

[Grass!]

Scarecrow: Be careful yourself.

So it imitated Li Pu's past mannerism and pressed its hand on Li Pu's shoulder.

"Grass."

Li Pu glanced back at it, a little unruly.

On the high platform, Kungfu Alpaca silently watched Li Pu and Alpaca Bro walk onto the ring.

"Hum hum hum, bleat."

At that moment, it picked up the small golden bell and glanced at all the Kungfu Kings.

"The bald crane was actually right earlier; the one stepping on the stage now, our tribe's junior, is the one with the most potential to become a Kungfu King, bleat."

"You're about to witness the prototype of our tribe's strongest form, bleat."

These words piqued everyone's interest.

But just by looking at that physique, the Kungfu Kings could guess the meaning.

The Alpaca Tribe specializes in nimble footwork and long-range spitting attacks.

Their main tactical style is kiting.

So this tribe's shortcoming is their poor close combat ability.

Now, this Alpaca Bro possesses the strongest physique among his peers, which includes Kung-fu beasts from other tribes.

Being versatile in both near and far, isn't that the strongest form?

Of course, now it is still far from matching the Kungfu Kings in all aspects, which is why it's called a prototype.

"Hahaha, look at the fat penguin, even its expression has changed."

At this moment, Kungfu Crane unkindly exposed Round Penguin's embarrassment.

"Come on, fatty, you didn't really have any hope, did you?"

"Exactly, so what if you lose this round? Your results from the first half are already there, unless you aim to compete for the King of Kings?"

"I'll say it here, I don't think he can beat that strong alpaca, I'm telling you."

"Haha, you shouldn't be so sure. There's always a 'what if' in everything."

"What 'what if'? With that small build, how's he going to contend with the strong alpaca?"

"Unless he's a Kungfu King."

One by one, the Kungfu Kings dropped their pieces.

"..."

Facing this situation, even Round Penguin wasn't very confident inside.

Because, like the other Kungfu Kings, it also agreed with what Kungfu Alpaca said.

Li Pu is strong, no doubt. During the fight the day before yesterday, it seemed like they were evenly matched.

But at that time, he had Scarecrow assisting him, and he was also wearing a strange outfit.

Whether he can defeat that Alpaca Tribe's biggest future star purely on personal ability.

That's debatable.

"Alright, everyone stop talking and enjoy the show, bleat."

Seeing everyone's reaction gave Kungfu Alpaca a bit of pride.

"I announce, the match begins, bleat~"

"Kungfu! Bleat!"

Bang!

Then it loudly struck the small bell.

The match officially began, but neither contestant immediately went on the offensive.

Li Pu wanted to see what tricks the opponent had up his sleeve, looking to execute a counter-strategy.

Instead, he saw that big alpaca person walk slowly towards him.

Until the shadow of that large frame once again loomed over him, the opponent stopped walking.

To be fair, that overwhelming gaze from on high was somewhat intimidating.

Unfortunately, Alpaca Bro picked the wrong target to intimidate. Li Pu had been fighting opponents (?) bigger than him since he was a kid, so the difference in size didn't affect him at all.

"First, apologize to my sister. She was a bit rude earlier, bleat."

This seemed to be the first time Li Pu heard Alpaca Bro's voice.

That chest resonance was strong, humming as he spoke, giving a sense that it could make surrounding objects vibrate.

However, he didn't respond, just looked coolly at his opponent.

Anything to say can be said offstage.

Coming all the way here to say it, isn't this just putting on airs?

"And then apologize for myself, because I might accidentally kill you next, bleat."

Sure enough, Alpaca Bro was not here with good intentions. His harsh words might actually intimidate someone else.

"Are you done talking."

Li Pu finally couldn't hold back from speaking.

Keep filling the cup, and it'll overflow, brother.

"Mm, bleat?"

Similarly, this was also Alpaca Bro's first time hearing Li Pu speak.

Originally, he thought the other party only said "grass."

"You... Bleat?!"

However, just as he began speaking, Alpaca Bro suddenly felt his body become heavy!

That heaviness was such that it was irresistible.

At that moment, he even suspected.

Perhaps even if Venerable Penguin and Venerable Panda were sitting on him, it wouldn't feel this heavy!

What's going on?!

Bang! x2

Then, unable to control his body, Alpaca Bro's knees slammed toward the ground, even creating depressions on the hard arena floor.

"This height is just right."

Accompanied by these words, he saw the opponent's palm coming toward him.

Then, then he lost consciousness.

Slap!

Thud!

From kneeling to getting slapped unconscious, the whole process took less than 2 seconds.

"..."xN

Silence enveloped everyone present.

They weren't shocked, rather... they didn't understand.

What just happened???

After the two contestants mumbled a few words, why did Alpaca Bro kneel down and receive a slap from someone else?

"I... I think I heard him apologize earlier."

Someone with good hearing among the closer spectators said.

"Uh, so he apologized and got slapped? That's a bit ridiculous."

"And he got slapped into unconsciousness, that's the most ridiculous part, isn't it?"

But such remarks were hard for people to agree with.

"Hey! Stop pretending, get up!"

Some from the Alpaca Tribe thought Alpaca Bro was putting on a show, couldn't stand it any longer.

No matter how much you act, there has to be a limit.

Respect the arena, respect your opponent, will you?

Yet how can someone who has fainted wake up?

"Something seems off..."

"That slap did sound quite loud."

"I saw his head nearly twist off."

A suspicion slowly grew in people's hearts, but they dared not believe it.

Until a member of the Alpaca Tribe noticed something strange and rushed to the ring.

He quickly checked Alpaca Bro's condition.

He touched his breath, it was still there.

Lifted his eyelids, only to see two whites of the eyes.

His pulse was normal too, just that a pool of saliva mixed with bluish blood was on the ground.

"Re- Respected One! He's really knocked out!"

This Alpaca tribesman looked to the high platform, full of shock.

"!!!"xN

This sentence immediately exploded the scene.

The facts were right in front of their eyes, leaving no room for disbelief.

But, the strongest among the younger generation, Alpaca Bro... just lost like this?!

For a moment, the figure of that androgynous person standing with hands behind on the stage (Li Pu: hey) appeared extraordinarily tall in their eyes.

...
