"Mingong, this ti I managed to secure an opportunity for you after much effort. You must perform well. If you can win a few victories in front of these important figures, it'll be much easier for to speak on your behalf in front of them."
"Dad, what's going on? Why can't Wang Long and the others participate in the competition?" Liu Minggong asked, curious as to why his followers were not eligible to join this competition.
In such a critical competition, if one achieves fa overnight, they are bound to receive attention, be heavily utilized, and possibly gain high rankings and rich rewards, ascending rapidly in status.
This reality is clear to Liu Xu and his son.
Yet surprisingly this ti, Liu Xu, the acting principal of Yanhuang Soul, couldn't personally nominate participants for the competition. It was reviewed and nominated by officials from above.
In essence, Fan Lingtian was behind this.
Thus, Liu Xu managed, after much persuasion, to secure a spot for his son.
The competition has the attention of the whole nation.
All you need is to win final victory and beco champion, and those participating will undoubtedly beco famous, with popularity potentially surpassing top-tier celebrities.
However, this competition is not fought for personal interests but for the glory of the entire nation.
Four arenas. Competitors from thirty-two countries.
Conducted in batches. As the host nation, Huaxia faced Korea in the first match on the first arena.
"I'll go first."
Driven by a strong desire to win, Liu Minggong wished to quickly showcase his abilities to everyone and imdiately stood up, volunteering himself.
"Xiaolei, you take the lead. Save your strength."
"Okay."
Fan Lingtian completely ignored Liu Minggong, instead directing Lei Xiaolei to go first.
Having Xiaolei go first was undoubtedly to give those countries hoping to see Huaxia make a fool of itself a rude awakening. So they could see how outstanding the young generation in Huaxia really is.
Amidst enthusiastic applause, Xiaolei stepped onto the arena.
Originally living a life driven by revenge, it hadn't taken him long on his path of revenge. Thanks to Xiaofan's appearance, he easily managed to kill his father's murderer with his own hands.
After avenging his father, Lei Xiaolei only felt gratitude—firstly, to repay Yanhuang Soul for nurturing him, and secondly, to thank Xiaofan for the help.
Even though he ventures with his brothers outside, it never affects his faith in Yanhuang Soul.
'Bang.'
As the competition began, with a quick exchange, the opponent let out a muffled groan and was knocked out of the arena directly.
Instantly, Huaxia's audience erupted into cheers; such a thrilling scene couldn't help but excite them.
Knocking out the opponent in one move, according to the rules, ant he had won.
This was all about conserving strength, executing the task with minimal effort. The road ahead was still long.
Subsequently, amid applause, the second opponent made their way to the arena.
This ti, the opponent was clearly well-prepared, faced with Lei Xiaolei's overwhelming prowess. How would they attempt to suppress it?
As the match restarted, Xiaolei acted as aggressively as before...
But the opponent did not engage Xiaolei head-on, instead falling back one step, intercepting a move from Xiaolei, and quickly dodging.
Clearly, Korea intended to draw out a see-saw battle, exhausting Xiaolei's strength.
Thus the arena turned into a scene of the opponent being chased around by Xiaolei.
The cheers from the audience rose again. But Xiaolei being drained of energy was not a good thing.
Other arenas were equally exciting, but the television broadcast focused entirely on the arena of the Huaxia competitors.
'Bang...'
The second opponent was blasted out of the arena by Xiaolei, but Xiaolei's forehead was now beaded with sweat. Clearly, the opponent's strategy to exhaust Xiaolei's energy had worked.
The competition continued, and the first match swiftly drew to a close, with Xiaolei achieving a one-to-five ratio in the first match. Yet the sweat-drenched Xiaolei himself didn't know how many more matches he could endure.
Besides, although the opponent is of the younger generation, the last person had a considerable strength. After all, every country brings forth elite individuals.
"Xiaolei, take a rest."
"Alright."
As Xiaolei stepped off the arena, Fan Lingtian spoke to him gently, while the second person next to Fan Lingtian nodded repeatedly.
"Fan, we've won the first match, why are you frowning so deeply?" The second person was thrilled to see the young participants perform so outstandingly.
"This is just the beginning. It's the elimination round, and the upcoming matches will beco increasingly difficult. Xiaolei is the strongest among them. I let him go first just for a temporary thrill, but ultimately, it cos down to talking with real ability."
"It's not that tricky, though; He Qiang and Lin Hongbin aren't weak either."
"Then look at Japan's side; they too swiftly secured their first match. Plus, they rotated players, conserving their energy well."
"Well..."
"Chief, Elder Fan..."
At that mont, Shen Junjie ca over excitedly.
"What, is there news about Xiaofan?" Fan Lingtian, predictably, imdiately inquired about Xiaofan.
"Yes, just now Li Kuo reported news, they found Xiaofan, and successfully cracked the kidnapping case. He and Lin Miaoke are safe, and they rescued more than thirty victims too."
"That's wonderful." Fan Lingtian also breathed a sigh of relief. "So, where is Xiaofan now?"
"He is rushing over here. But the helicopter can't directly land downtown, so it might take a bit more ti."
"Junjie..."
"Yes."
"Imdiately organize a route for Xiaofan's arrival and go pick him up."
"Yes."
He couldn't bear it; until Xiaofan arrived, he couldn't be fully at ease.
"Do you trust Ye Xiaofan that much?" This was perhaps the first ti Fan Lingtian's expression showed so clearly.
"Ah, the second, I believe in him, just like I trusted Boss Ren back in the day. Did you, back then, trust Boss Ren?"
"Oh. That's quite a high evaluation."
"No, no, no. When he arrives and you see how he performs, you'll understand this is rely the most conservative appraisal."
"We'll wait and see... Oh, that Lin Miaoke, she's Old Lin's granddaughter, right?"
"Yes, she has a bit of Old Lin's heroic spirit. The young have drive."
"Hmm, all good kids."
