Chapter 2682: Chapter 2683: Pursuit Mission

Jenasen nodded and said calmly:

“The reason his performance doesn’t resemble a boxer’s is because his personal strength stands out; other contestants are not on the same level as him, just like Lu Yisi.”

Instinctively, Flick glanced at the man inside playing a handheld game console.

The man was wearing a tank top, with developed muscles on his forearms, seemingly oblivious to their conversation and not watching the match on TV.

His name was Lu Yisi, a seed contestant for the M Country team.

It was because of him that the two coaches believed the championship was inevitably theirs.

“It’s certain, after all, he’s mastered another set of fighting skills, surpassing ordinary people. Among these people, there’s no one who can match him!” Jenasen said confidently.

Flick nodded, agreeing with the viewpoint.

“Hey, why are you all looking at me?”

Feeling their gaze, Lu Yisi looked up and asked.

“Look at the TV; China has a very powerful contestant who won two matches by knockout.”

“That’s quite impressive.” Lu Yisi yawned, a bit uninterested.

The two smiled helplessly, “At this point, you should be more serious.”

“I’ve been very serious.” Lu Yisi said with a smile:

“But such matches, as you know, pose no challenge. I’m here just to earn some prize money; no one here is worth my seriousness.”

“True, but I think you should pay attention to him. I guess you’ll meet him in the finals.”

“Doesn’t matter if I do, I can defeat him by knockout too.”

“Ah, really can’t do anything about you.” Jenasen said.

“You two stop chatting now; the third match is about to start.”

As Flick finished speaking, both Jenasen and Lu Yisi turned to the TV.

The other contestants did the same.

Lin Yi’s strength had already caught their attention.

If they met such a contestant in the next round, it would be dangerous for them.

So they all wanted to learn more about him.

“No way? Another knockout?”

Seeing Lin Yi using the same move to defeat the third opponent, contestants from other countries exclaimed in astonishment.

Some even couldn’t believe their eyes.

“This person is quite interesting.” Lu Yisi said with a smile:

“He should have been handpicked by the program team; it seems China has also prepared well for this competition.”

“That should be right.” Jenasen said:

“In previous matches, he never appeared or even showed his face. I guess it’s to preserve strength and prevent others from analyzing his tactics, thus gaining an advantage in the competition.”

“Anyway, I don’t care; I’ll fight any opponent that comes my way. It won’t affect the result.” Lu Yisi said unconcernedly.

“So I’m not worried at all, but if he can last more than five rounds with you, he’s indeed a master.”

Lu Yisi arrogantly shook his finger.

“If he can last three rounds, he’s pretty impressive.”

…

Meanwhile, Lin Yi had finished his third match.

Three punches settled three contestants, and the audience was already in an uproar.

They even gave Lin Yi the nickname One Punch Man.

“Is there any more matches today?” Lin Yi asked.

“Other countries’ matches are next. According to the schedule, your next match will be in three days, so you’ll need to prepare in advance.”

“No problem.” Lin Yi said:

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll head out first.”

“You two carry on; I’ll call you later to arrange a meal.”

“We’re all friends, no need to be so formal.”

After some simple pleasantries, Lin Yi and Yan Ci prepared to leave.

But then Lin Yi’s phone rang; it was a call from Chen Shengli.

“I’ll take this call.”

Lin Yi said to Yan Ci, stepped aside, and answered the call.

“Brother Chen.”

“Do you remember the secret compartment at Yin Pole?”

“The one that was forcibly damaged? Yes, I remember.”

“The investigation result is out. Some fingerprints were left behind, and based on the breakage marks, we believe it was damaged just recently, probably a few days ago. Considering these factors, the things inside Yin Pole should have been taken by those foreigners.”

“I understand. Anything else new?”

“Nothing for the time being; it’s still under investigation and testing.”

“Alright, keep me updated with any news.”

“Okay.”

Ending the call, Lin Yi’s thoughts returned to the Bronze Tomb.

Now it was certain that the things had been taken by those foreigners.

It seems like a trip there is needed soon.

Ring, ring, ring—

Just then, Lin Yi’s phone rang again, this time it was Liu Hong calling.

“Boss Liu.”

“What are you up to?”

“If I say I’m participating in a boxing match, do you believe it?”

“Stop with the nonsense; you might as well say you’re at home with the kids.”

Lin Yi laughed, saying nothing more.

“Calling me at this time, does it mean there’s a mission?”

“I know about the Bronze Tomb issue. I just discussed with Elder Liang; we want you to make a trip there and retrieve the items soon. Our Chinese relics must not end up overseas, and it involves the Tilia Civilization, so we can’t be negligent.”

Lin Yi nodded, this matter was within his expectations.

After a few seconds of silence, Lin Yi spoke:

“How’s the situation on the island; do I need to go over?”

“You don’t have to worry about the island; I have it all arranged.”

“Just treat it according to the norms, don’t make any exceptions for me.” Lin Yi said seriously.

“I understand what you mean, but regardless, the child is not yet a year old; spend more time with family when you can. In the future, there will surely be occasions where we can’t do without you.”

“Alright, I won’t say more.”

“Even though it’s to M Country, be a bit careful and stay safe.”

“Got it.”

After hanging up, Lin Yi fiddled with his phone and walked over to Zhou Jing.

“Director Zhou, when is the final scheduled according to the program group’s arrangements?”

Though the trip to M Country was urgent, the system task was even more critical; this issue had to be resolved.

“In half a month.” Zhou Jing said:

“Because after the matches, contestants need time to rest; the schedule can’t be too tight.”

Lin Yi nodded; the arrangement seemed reasonable without any issues.

Noticing Lin Yi’s slightly off expression, Zhou Jing asked:

“Do you have something on your mind?”

Lin Yi nodded, “I might not be able to attend the upcoming matches.”
