Chapter 2680: Chapter 2681: Resistance Emotion

“Though it’s a bit regrettable, this way we can advance easily,” Nagel said.

Alan nodded and said,

“The contestants named Wang Zhanwen and Li Qingshan, I’ve seen their matches before. Their basic skills are solid, and their strength is very strong. Facing them, there’s a risk of losing, but now it’s fine. Both of them have withdrawn from the competition. The people they hurriedly brought in must be lacking in strength. With your capabilities, a three-on-one might not even be a problem.”

“Heh heh…”

Nagel laughed, “I think the same; such a good opportunity shouldn’t be missed.”

“Everyone’s here.”

Just as the Thai Team was talking, Wang Zhanwen walked over.

“I heard you withdrew from the competition?” Alan confirmed again.

Wang Qingshan nodded and said with a smile,

“I came over this time for this issue. I hope in the upcoming match, you can hit hard and not show them any mercy.”

“Rest assured, we’ve made plans and will make good use of this opportunity.”

…

Soon, the match began.

The host, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, walked to the ring and addressed the crowd,

“Welcome, everyone, to the venue of the first Martial Arts Competition. Now, we have entered the international stage. Thank you all for your long-standing support.”

After speaking, the host gave a slight bow to the audience to express his gratitude.

Then, a series of clichéd opening remarks began, lasting a full five to six minutes.

“Now, let’s cut to the chase. The competition officially begins.”

The host glanced at his cue card and said,

“The contestants for the first match are Lin Yi from China and Abelin from Thailand!”

As the host’s voice fell, applause rang out from the audience.

But among the applause, there were many voices of doubt.

“Who is this Lin Yi? I don’t recall hearing about him while watching previous matches.”

“Look at the big screen; it seems he’s here through popularity voting.”

“Oh come on, isn’t he too good-looking? That’s just a pretty face.”

“What’s the show doing, sneaking in a pretty face? How can the competition go on?”

“I never thought even this kind of program would start bringing in popular stars.”

“I’ve seen Abelin’s matches before; he’s very strong. Sending a pretty face up might get him killed.”

“I think this is good; it shows them that not all shows can hire pretty boys.”

“But the issue is, it’s a fight for China’s honor.”

“Stop worrying. Even if it’s embarrassing, the show’s responsible, not us. Just watch the match peacefully and later go online to ridicule them, teach them a lesson.”

“Fine, let’s do as you say.”

Amid the applause and discussions, Lin Yi and Abelin took to the stage.

Their states were in sharp contrast.

Lin Yi was calm, with a smile on his face, as if he was an audience member, not a contestant.

On the other hand, Abelin was eager to start the match immediately.

Their opposing states caused considerable resistance among the audience.

Although some female spectators were thrilled by Lin Yi’s appearance,

ultimately, it was a game of men’s competition.

90% of the spectators were male, and they were greatly dissatisfied with Lin Yi’s demeanor.

“What the heck, sending someone like him on stage is just giving away points.”

“This is the show’s underhand deal; that guy must have connections.”

“Damn, if I knew, I wouldn’t have come to watch. Truly a disgrace to the people in China.”

Listening to the discussions around him, Wang Zhanwen laughed.

He didn’t need to incite, the crowd was already fired up.

When the match ends, and the China team loses terribly, the show crew might not even be able to leave the studio.

“Senior brother, your plan is really good; things have escalated so much. I wonder how the show will handle this,” Miao Chunge said.

“Don’t rush, this is just the beginning. When the entire team loses later, that’s when the real climax hits.”

“Heh, I can’t wait any longer.”

While a few talked in whispers, the audience’s reactions grew even more intense.

“Get down!”

“Don’t go embarrassing yourself!”

“Careful not to get killed; no one will claim your body!”

The audience was vehemently jeering, not wanting Lin Yi to appear on stage.

The host on the stage was a bit bewildered. He had hosted many boxing matches, but had never encountered such an occurrence.

“Everyone, please calm down. Our contestant was selected through voting, and you should trust in his abilities. He certainly won’t let you down.”

The host didn’t know Lin Yi’s skill level; he only knew Lin Yi had good relations with the main director.

But at this point, he could only try his best to smooth things over.

“Do they think we’re fools? Look at his face, obviously a pretty boy who knows nothing. The opponent is trained in Muay Thai. Hitting him would be like killing a chicken. Your actions are embarrassing to the people in China!”

Facing the audience’s criticism, the host remained unfazed.

“Please don’t judge by appearances, and the match is about to start, so please enjoy it quietly.”

With that, the host signaled the stage staff to start the match, fearing that the audience’s resistance would intensify, making it impossible to film the show.

Bam!

The gong sounded.

The match officially began.

At this point, the audience had no choice but to watch the match and hope for the best from the other two contestants.

Abelin’s expression turned a bit wicked, and he gave Lin Yi the middle finger.

“You should just surrender. If you get hurt, it won’t be just a couple of bruises.”

“It’s just a match; participation is what matters,” Lin Yi said with a smile.

“Plus, it hasn’t started yet. How are you so sure I’ll lose? You should save some room for yourself.”

Hearing their conversation, the audience fell speechless.

With no apparent skill, he taunts his opponent.

What was he thinking? Wasn’t he afraid of getting killed?

“Ha ha…” Abelin laughed loudly, “Seems like you still have hope for yourself. Guess I’ll have to shatter your dreams.”

With that, Abelin charged towards Lin Yi, moving very fast.

But in Lin Yi’s eyes, it was like a snail crawling.

“Your level’s a bit lacking, let me send you down first, and get someone stronger up here.”

With that, Lin Yi casually swung a punch towards Abelin.
