20demayo Chapter 31: Round 1 ends, Round 2 begins.
Chapter 31: Round 1 ends, Round 2 begins.
As the referee loudly announced the result of the match, the entire audience erupted in cheers.
Although most of the game was boring, who can resist a "one-shot kill"?
While a brutal, evenly matched fight is certainly thrilling, the process is filled with breathtaking anticipation, and the final outcome is highly suspenseful.
But a swift kill is a pure crushing of power, a brutality reduced to its extreme!
In just a moment, it's enough to send chills down your spine and cause your blood pressure to spike!
"Dragon King" Li Yuan truly lived up to the description, suffering no harm whatsoever throughout the entire process, and instantly killing "Myanmar's strongest warrior" Kaizuka Sapain with a single move!
At this point, the entire course of the match became irrelevant. In the very last second before the end of the match, this single attack was enough to leave an indelible mark on the minds of everyone present!
Compared to the cheers of the ordinary spectators, the fighters in the stands were all surprisingly... silent.
"Thailand's Fighting God" Gaolang Winsawadoo stared wide-eyed, utterly shocked.
As an old friend and rival, he was well aware of the power of Yoroizuka Sapain's "Burmese Hammer" move.
He once thought that no one in the world could have a harder skull than Sapain Yoroizuka, but he was wrong!
He saw it clearly in the last few seconds of the match. When Yoroizuka Sapain headbutted him from above, Li Yuan's response was very simple: he simply retaliated with his own head, charging headfirst into Sapain's head.
But this simple move, which showed absolutely no technical skill, completely shattered Yokozuka Sapain's most powerful attack!
Even more shockingly, it caused Sappan of the Armored Tomb to bleed from all seven orifices and collapse, completely powerless to fight any longer!
"Li Yuan, the 'Dragon King'..."
Watching Li Yuan leave through the players' tunnel as if nothing had happened, Gaolang fell into deep thought.
……
As soon as Li Yuan entered the players' tunnel, he was enveloped by a huge shadow.
Looking at the figure standing there like a small giant, making the originally spacious passage seem narrow, Li Yuan showed no fear and walked straight over.
He kept his eyes straight ahead, saying as he walked, "I hope my next opponent will be you."
With that, he had already passed the monstrous figure and walked out of the passage.
After returning to the players' lounge, taking a shower, and changing his clothes, Li Yuan went back to the spectator stands.
At this point, the fourth match of Group A had ended, and the next match would be the one of Group B.
Ultimately, after watching all the first round matches, the results of every single one were exactly as he had predicted.
Including himself, the sixteen stronger fighters out of the thirty-two contestants he considered all defeated the other sixteen and advanced to the second round.
As they walked out of the competition venue, Li Yuan smiled and asked Hiyama Shunka, who was approaching to greet him, "How was the result?"
Hiyama Shunka nodded: "Based on your prediction, I placed bets on every match, but the amount wasn't too large, just in case the odds changed unexpectedly."
"That's good. Go back to the hotel first and don't wander around." Li Yuan instructed, then turned his gaze to Katahara Sayaka, who had just come out of the venue, and walked up to her with a smile.
……
The following day, the second round of the Kengan Suicide Squad officially began.
Before the match started, Katahara Sayaka once again took the lead and stood in the center of the field, warming up the crowd with an enthusiastic tone and actively stirring up the passion in the hearts of the audience.
However, as she spoke passionately, many people in the audience noticed something was amiss.
"Did you notice that Ms. Katahara Sayaka's voice suddenly became much hoarse today? It wasn't like this at the end of yesterday's competition."
"Huh? That does seem to be the case. They must have been too tired from yesterday's commentary."
"Of course! Yesterday, I hosted and commented on the game with such passion all day long. It must have taken a lot of energy. One night is definitely not enough to recover."
"As the president's daughter, a noble lady from a prestigious family, she still personally takes on the hosting duties. Ms. Katahara Sayaka is truly remarkable!"
This minor incident did not dampen the enthusiasm of the audience. As the two fighters of the first match entered the arena one after another, the slight oddness in the host's voice was quickly forgotten by them.
Li Yuan sat in the players' lounge, watching the competition outside through the television on the wall.
He was going to play in the second game of the day, so he didn't go to the stands but went straight to the locker room to change his clothes.
After confirming from the television screen that the match was progressing as predicted and was nearing its end, Li Yuan turned to look at Hiyama Shunka, who was dressed in a blue kimono, and said:
"You walk with me through the players' tunnel. After I go on stage, you stand where I can see you at the entrance of the tunnel to prevent that old bastard Toyo Electric Power from using dirty tricks."
A hint of joy flashed in Hiyama Shunka's eyes. She nodded slightly, her face flushed, and said, "I understand. I won't cause you any trouble."
"Let's go then." Li Yuan stood up and strode out of the lounge, with Hiyama Shunka quickly following behind.
Just as the two were about to reach the exit of the passage, a figure slowly walked towards them from the opposite side.
Before the person even arrived, that slightly deranged voice drifted over: "Your turn is next. Don't fall down here, or I'll be very disappointed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure covered in blood appeared under the light, and it was none other than Wu Lei'an.
He grinned, revealing a ferocious smile that would send chills down the spines of most people. His gleaming white teeth reflected a cold light, and his eyes, the opposite color of most people's, looked at Li Yuan with a defiant intent.
Li Yuan walked straight past him without glancing to the side, but a slight smile played on his lips as he returned the smile with the same friendly tone: "You can prepare yourself to become my defeated opponent in advance."
"Hehehe..." Wu Lei'an didn't reply. After glancing at Li Yuan with his eerie eyes, he walked straight towards the lounge, letting out a cold laugh that was hard to understand.
Li Yuan didn't care at all. When he heard Katahara Sayaka begin to introduce him, he nodded to Hiyama Shunka beside him and walked into the arena.
His appearance was met with enthusiastic cheers from the audience.
Katahara Sayaka looked at Li Yuan who had come to her, and at his figure hidden by his sports short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and couldn't help but recall last night.
The body concealed by those clothes was so magnificent, so powerful, so hard...
A blush crept up her face, spreading all the way to her ears before finally settling down.
Fortunately, she was wearing a brand new red dress that was the same style as yesterday, and with the dazzling lights above the venue, she was not noticed by the audience.
