Chapter 339 - 208: Unwinnable Game? Challenges in Adversity
"Yes, she and her Spirit Beast have already worked hard enough."
"These children, they’ve all worked hard enough."
"This year, though defeated, we have honor."
The moment Zhang Suqing lost, the entire venue exploded.
Now, only Lin Chen’s match remains. Currently, the Youlan Empire has three wins, four draws, and one loss.
While the Cangling Ancient Country has only secured one win.
Even if Lin Chen achieves another victory, the final score would only be two wins.
Thinking of this, many felt a sense of pity for Lin Chen.
With the abilities of Lin Chen’s two Spirit Beasts, defeating Dick would be no problem.
But now...
Even if he wins, it would be meaningless.
...
Seeing the third student win, Tyler’s face bloomed with joy.
The match is secured, the opponent is beyond recovery.
The championship is already in hand, his promotion and salary raise is a certainty.
Not wanting any further complications, Tyler smiled as he turned to Daoist Zhang and said:
"You’re four points behind now, the defeat is certain. Do you still need to continue?"
Beside him, Dick was full of battle spirit, wanting to fight.
But he understood Tyler didn’t want any complications, so he remained silent.
Daoist Zhang glanced at Lin Chen, handing the decision over to him without a word.
Indeed.
Winning this match is meaningless.
But he knew that all the students had a fire inside...
Lin Chen was no exception.
The incident where he was attacked last time was almost certain to have been done by the Youlan Empire.
Now, it’s up to Lin Chen if he wants to vent that anger.
Seeing Daoist Zhang’s gaze, Lin Chen immediately understood his meaning. He stood up, looked at Tyler, and said, "The match isn’t over yet, of course we’ll play."
Hearing this, Dick narrowed his eyes with a smile.
Great.
He was also waiting for this moment.
Want to fight, huh?
I’m Dick, and I’ll gladly accompany you!
You really think you’re the top newcomer?
I’ll show you, I’m truly the top among newcomers!
Dick also had a fire inside him; now everyone outside believed Lin Chen’s abilities surpassed his.
This made him very displeased.
Just right, now there’s no pressure of winning or losing.
So, Dick was also eager to let loose everything and fight against Lin Chen.
The referee also looked at Lin Chen, asking again, "Are you sure?"
"I’m sure."
Lin Chen nodded.
...
As soon as the words fell, the entire crowd burst into an uproar.
"I knew it, Lin Chen surely won’t accept this."
"There’s no choice, this is a team competition."
"Yeah, if it were individual matches, Lin Chen’s Spirit Beasts would crush them all."
"Yes."
"What a pity."
"Not a pity, a loss is a loss, but the anger needs venting."
Many people’s eyes sparkled.
With the competition lost, they felt low and also had a fire inside.
They all hoped to see Lin Chen take action and teach the people of the Youlan Empire a harsh lesson.
Because they’d previously taunted and boasted arrogantly, making everyone displeased.
Amidst the audience’s discussions, Dick leaped to the edge of the arena, sending out his Spirit Beast.
The referee also looked at Lin Chen, signaling him to send out his Spirit Beast.
Unexpectedly, Lin Chen said, "Wait."
Hearing this, Dick sneered and said, "What? Regretting?"
The audience also felt disappointed, wondering if Lin Chen suddenly intended to give up.
Just then, Lin Chen spoke:
"I remember there’s a challenge rule in the Beast Fighting Conference...."
"If a teammate is absent, a multi-person challenge can be initiated!"
"Today... I, Lin Chen, initiate the challenge!"
As his words landed, the whole crowd was stunned, followed by rapidly widening pupils, even people like Zhu Tong on stage stared at Lin Chen in surprise.
On stage, Dick seemed insulted, shouting loudly:
"Arrogant!"
"Utterly arrogant! Do you really think you’re someone important?!"
