Chapter 46: Competitive, willing to admit defeat, smooth sailing

He just didn't want to wait until then.

I also feel that it is not worthwhile to spend five years to win the championship in the Demon Hunter Group Trials...

How will Xingyuan grow in the five years since he joined the Demon Hunting Team?
The main reason why Long Haochen was unwilling to accept Ye Hua's proposal was that he was worried that by the time he officially became a member of the Demon Hunting Team, Xing Yuan would have grown to a level that he would no longer be able to match.

It was true that he had a crush on Xingyuan, but while the two of them were attracted to each other because of their extremely high affinity for the holy light attribute, they also developed a competitive spirit.

He wants to fight Xingyuan.

Just imagining the scene of him and Xingyuan standing face to face on the field, he felt the fighting spirit surge in his heart and was extremely excited...

Suddenly, a slightly old but powerful voice came from the podium.

"Number 97 versus Number 3. Both players please take your positions immediately."

Long Haochen was slightly stunned when he heard the voice. Wasn't he Knight No. 97? He didn't expect that the opponent he met in this round of competition was actually a fifth-level Earth Knight...

……

"No need to compete anymore. I admit defeat."

"Eh?"

Chen Ying'er, who was about to get up from her seat in the audience and go to the competition field when her number was drawn, couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she heard her opponent's voice coming from behind.

On the high platform, Grandma Sanshui, the deputy head of the Soul Temple who was in charge of hosting today's competition, was happy to save herself some effort and announced directly: "Number 22 admits defeat, number 12 wins, and has secured a place in the top ten of the preliminary round."

Seeing the ball of light above the stadium starting to spin again, Chen Ying'er repeatedly confirmed that she had won the battle before the battle even started.

After hearing his grandmother explain to him through the air why his opponent admitted defeat, he immediately smiled.

It turns out that he was frightened by the green dragon I summoned yesterday.

Chen Ying'er was very happy. You know, a quarter of an hour before she drew her number, she was still praying devoutly to the Goddess of Nature, praying that she would bless her Gate of Life to summon a slightly more reliable summoned beast, and not let some scum come out of it to embarrass herself...

At the same time, at the Magic Temple competition venue.

After watching ten games, Xingyuan, who hadn't slept the whole night while holding Cai'er in his arms, was feeling increasingly irritated.

Besides, he didn't know whether Cai'er listened to him today and waited for him in the hotel room after the game?

Especially when thinking of Lin Xin's "bladder game" just now, Xingyuan felt that it would be a huge disaster to be ranked behind him in the competition.

Since he didn't know any offensive magic, Lin Xin went up and said that as a "senior", he would not bully others, which gave the younger generation some hope of winning.

He said that as long as the opponent could break through the defense set up by Lin Xin before his spiritual power was exhausted, he would voluntarily admit defeat and allow the younger generation to enter the next round of eliminations.

Although Lin Xin did not say it explicitly, everyone present knew that the 'bullying senior' he was talking about was referring to Xing Yuan.

Although Xingyuan was quite angry at the beginning about Lin Xin using him as a tool, he immediately calmed down when he thought of the other party's promise to refine ten furnaces of pills for him free of charge.

As long as he could establish an image of a 'bad senior who likes to bully others' in the minds of other contestants, he could save nearly two months of time on refining medicine and come out to practice and accompany Cai'er. Xingyuan felt that it was quite cost-effective.

Anyway, he didn't have a job in the Magic Temple and didn't plan to intrigue with others all day. And this impression wouldn't cause him any trouble. At most, people would think that he was more serious and difficult to get along with... But this was exactly what Xingyuan wanted.

If it weren't for this character setting, with his appearance, cultivation strength, potion talent, and knowledge, I don't know how many men and women he would have to deal with chatting and flirting with every day...

I was thinking about a lot of things in my mind when I vaguely heard Lin Chen's voice from the podium.

Look up.

I saw the light ball drawing lots above the stadium, and my number was drawn. My opponent was contestant number 52.

"It's really not easy..."

Xingyuan muttered to himself, stood up, stretched, and was about to go down to the stadium to stretch his muscles.

I accidentally used too much force yesterday, so today I won’t use my ultimate move right away, but give my opponent a chance to fight back a few moves…

Xingyuan was thinking about this when he heard the voice of contestant No. 52 coming from the back row of the audience.

"Master referee, there is no need to continue this match. I don't think I am the second best opponent, so I won't go up and let everyone laugh at me."

After No. 52 stood up and said this, he did not sit back down, but turned left and walked towards the exit passage.

Xingyuan: “?”

"Eh?"

Xingyuan raised his hand and subconsciously wanted to keep her, but the words didn't come out of his mouth.

Come to think of it, if I say this, I'm afraid it will leave others with the impression that I'm "entangled" and "like to tease the younger generation"...

Huang Yi also did not participate in the competition. He smiled bitterly at Xingyuan and said, "Brother Xingyuan, your Earth Dragon Technique yesterday left a deep impression on others. I'm afraid no one dares to fight you."

Those who are able to come to the Holy City to sign up for the Demon Hunting Team trials all have accompanying elders to guide and advise them on what countermeasures to take when encountering different opponents.

In particular, the three fifth-level magicians including Xingyuan were the focus of discussion among the teachers and leaders of this group of fourth-level and below contestants.

For example, for Lin Xin, who is "kind-hearted", you should take advantage of his sympathy and use your own sad experience to get him to be more lenient...

Then there is Huang Yi. His magic skills consume a lot of spiritual energy. When facing him, apart from trying your best to deal with him, defusing his offensive and slowly dragging him down until his spiritual energy is exhausted, this is the only way with a slight chance of winning.

After all, the possibility of a fourth-level being able to cross levels and defeat a fifth-level being is too low.

The reason why the opponent is at level 5 and you are only at level 4 is because you are inferior to the opponent in every aspect...

As for what countermeasures should be taken after encountering the star source?
The magic instructors who were guiding the team came up with a plan after thinking for less than a minute.

That's just a comparison of wool.

Rather than going up and getting beaten and scared to the point of having your legs go limp, it is better to just surrender and not give the opponent a chance to defeat you head-on on the field.

In the eyes of those magic instructors with sharp eyes and rich combat experience, most of the fourth-level contestants participating in the competition would have little chance of winning the game even if they were five to one, let alone one-on-one with Xingyuan.
