“If he really goes, it’ll be impossible for us to get first place.”
“We won’t just lose out on first place, we won’t even get second place. We’ll have to fight for third or fourth place,” Liu Zhiqiang said.
“Don’t say so much. Who knows, it might be effective.” Liu Guangxian said.
“Just like the team battle just now. Who would have thought that Lin Yi could turn the tide and help us get first place?”
“1 admit that Lin Yi is very smart. Our brains aren’t as good as his,” Han Enlong said.
“But this is an individual battle. Smarts alone are useless. It’s a competition of whose fist is stronger. Moreover, he didn’t get first place based on his true strength. He relied entirely on his network to join the individual competition. He can’t possibly win.”
“Even if it doesn’t work, there’s nothing we can do.” Liu Guangxian said.
“Don’t talk about anything else. Go and warm up first. The competition will start soon.”
Seeing that the leader had made up his mind, the two of them did not say anything else. They would be stupid to continue pursuing the matter.
At this moment, Li Xianghui and the others stood in front of Lin Yi and briefed him.
“The competition later will be a tag-team battle. We’ll go up one by one until we defeat all the people on the other side. Only then will we be considered to have won.”
Lin Yi nodded. “Understood.”
Although the competition was straightforward, it was very entertaining and served a dual purpose.
“Go for it, Brother Lin, don’t lose face even if you lose; as long as you’re not knocked out immediately, we’ll consider it a win.”
Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh and cry, “Do you really see me as that incompetent?”
“You only learned some grappling techniques during training, and even though you’re the best performer among us new joiners, there’s still a gap between you and these professionals. If we can just hold on for a while, we will consider it a success.”
“Alright, thank you for your blessings. I’ll hold on for a while longer.”
“All participants, please take note. The competition is about to begin.”
Just as the two of them were chatting, the broadcast in the stadium sounded, announcing the official start of the competition.
After the announcement, the stadium was filled with enthusiastic cheers.
They had been looking forward to this match for a long time.
Life in school was too boring. It was rare to witness such an interesting competition, especially when it was such a handsome little brother.
The girls present were all unable to fight their thirst.
However, Chen Bingyang wasn’t just putting on an act. Although Hao Gang’s attacks were fierce, his defense was astonishingly good. He wasn’t affected much.
For the next ten minutes, the two of them exchanged blows, neither giving in to the other. With their honor on the line, they both hoped to get a good start for their side.
However, since it was a competition, there would eventually be a winner and a loser.
After twenty minutes of fighting, Hao Gang of the Baoshan team defeated Chen Bingyang of the Yuanhe team and won the competition.
Hao Gang’s victory boosted the morale of the Baoshan team.
Lu Rui smiled and said, “Old Li, I’m really sorry. We won the first round.”
“It’s just one match. It’s nothing. The next match will actually matter.”
Soon, the second match began.
Judging from the first match, everyone thought that it would be a close match.
Firstly, Hao Gang had expended too much energy in the first round.
The Yuanhe representative team, in order to stop their losing momentum, would not relax, so the battle was sure to be intense, or it might even be a one-sided situation.
However, the results of the subsequent competition were shocking.
After Hao Gang won the first match, he defeated another opponent and won the second match for the Baoshan team.
However, in the third match, Hao Gang was defeated and quickly lost the match.
However, when the second contestant stepped up, he displayed absolute dominance and directly KO-ed Li Ye. His strength was obvious!
This result made the audience’s blood boil.
To them, there was no longer any suspense to the individual competition. The final winner would definitely be Yuanhe’s team.
“Old Li, I’m really sorry that I accidentally destroyed you,” Lu Rui said.
“Kid, don’t act innocent after taking advantage of me.” Li Ye panted heavily and said.
“How come this guy named Sui Yazhou is so skilled?”
“He’s newly transferred. He used to serve in a confidential unit, and he’s quite proficient.”
“Is he from the Special Operations Brigade?”
“Smart.”
“Well, it’s no shame losing to him,” Li Ye said.
“But I think, your level probably isn’t as good as his.”
“Don’t underestimate me. I’ve been training hard for over a year, and I’ve improved a lot. Sui Yazhou is no match for me..”
