Chapter 71: Speed VS Speed (1)

The host hired for the event had low-tier sonic wave ability, which enabled his voice to reach a greater distance, much more effective than the modern sound system.

"Welcome, folks, to the fight of the century. On the blue corner, consisting of the Soaring Heights Mercenary Team, are Han Wangping, the number one lightning powerhouse, and his teammates, Lu Anke, the undisputed strength-based user Grappling Fist, the speedster Wen Nou, Lou Anning, the cold artic goddess of the wood department, and finally the metal ability user Chen Ren. Give your applause to our Soaring Heights team."

The crowd sitting on the rows of benches made from earth’s ability grew wild, with each shouting their bias’s names, but most of them were calling ’Anning’.

The girl, referred to as Anning, with blonde hair and blue eyes, beautiful as a doll wearing a military combat suit, heard their cheers frown before rolling her eyes, and the men who saw it were struck by love arrows, becoming even wilder.

"Anning, be my wife!"

"Anning, marry me!"

"And on the red corner fighting for their rights of the Outer District are Tan Ge, the earth ability user. Jun Qi, the water ability user. Li Chunhua, a strength-based user. Siri, a grandmother...wait what?"

The host leaned closer to the script, wondering if he had made a mistake. Once he was certain that he read it right, he continued his welcoming speech, albeit in disbelief: "Siri, a grandmother, and last but not least, Mantou, the dog who runs fast—am I hallucinating right now?" The host forgot to deactivate his ability, which threw the crowd into another fit of laughter.

But the Outer District seating on the west side was not to be outdone. They beat their pots and cheered for Li Chunhua’s team while glaring at those whose mouths were spouting insults.

The Soaring Mercenary Team was standing in the center of the field, where the individuals from both teams would be facing off.

Four men and one woman were staring at their opponents, who were also looking at them in return, and they couldn’t help but feel as if the other party were mocking them.

Grappling Fist, a bald man, possessing hazelnut irises and with a tiny moustache and bulky build, stared down at Tan Ge. The latter trembled and lowered his head, not daring to meet his gaze.

I’m finished. Tan Ge dreaded.

Jun Qi was destined to face sunny boy Chen Ren with his lousy water ability. When Chen Ren smiled at him, Jun Qi almost fainted.

How is he going to defeat Chen Ren? By sprinkling him with water?

While on Siri’s side, Lou Anning’s was eyeing him in distaste. "Seriously?" Siri heard her mumble.

Wen Nou, on the other hand, had the worst expression of the five while looking at his opponent, who was sticking its tongue and wagging its tail.

He’s fighting a dog? Is the Outer District without brains? If he tosses a bone, then the fight will end in a matter of seconds.

Lastly, but most important, were Han Wangping and Li Chunhua, the aces of the group.

Han Wangping raised his eyebrows, noticing Li Chunhua’s odd behavior, and even Mr. Fang, Gong Panli, the other opponents, and her teammates were perplexed by her.

"Master, what are you doing?" Siri was closest to her and leaned in her left ear to whisper.

Li Chunhua had her arms crossed over her chest and was tiptoeing, but no matter how much she put effort into it, her height only reached the man’s chest, making her very frustrated.

"Never mind. He’s too tall!" Li Chunhua dropped her arms and stopped attempting to make an intimidating pose after realizing it was in vain.

Why can’t she transmigrate into a tall person? Li Chunhua sighed in exhaustion.

Team Treasure Chests: "..." Why do she have to say it out loud? So embarrassing!

Team Soaring Heights: "..." Retard!

Han Wangping overheard their exchange and couldn’t help but unconsciously make his back straight before raking his hair.

After that short confrontation, the respective combatants returned to their sides and prepared for their individual fights.

"Now we have confirmed our lineup. The first round of tonight’s fight will begin! Let’s give our hands to Jun Qi and Chen Ren." The host’s words made the noise reach unprecedented heights, and everyone cheered for their favorites.

"This is a waste of time," Anning remarked.

"What are you complaining for? It’s free money." Lou Anke leaned on his chair before placing both his hands under his head to take a nap. "Wake me up when it’s my turn."

Han Wangping bobbed his head towards the smiling raven-haired boy. "Finish it fast."

Chen Ren nodded and confidently walked towards the center of the arena under the cheers of his supporters, waiting for the other side.

Jun Qi’s feet were stuck on the spot. His tears flowed like a broken dam before turning towards Li Chunhua, who was sitting in the waiting area, cracking seeds and tossing them into her mouth. "Miss Li, I’ll do anything you want. Just please let me off. I will not be able to win against Chen Ren."

He can’t understand why Miss Li was so chill at this moment when in fact it’s a dangerous match.

Tan Ge also spun his neck full of hope. That guy, grappling fist, with just one punch of his, his earth wall will be reduced to pebbles.

Li Chunhua stopped cracking seeds and tilted her head before looking at the two. "Who said you needed to win?"

"Ah?" Both Tan Ge and Jun Qi were surprised. "Then why did you recruit us to the team?"

"Because we needed two more to make the numbers," Li Chunhua replied before carefully cracking another seed, but it turned to powder under her pinch. Thus, she didn’t care anymore and ate it whole.

"Really, Miss Li?" Tan Ge was overjoyed at escaping getting beaten.

Li Chunhua nodded, which made the two cried in joy and hugged each other.

In the midst, they realized something. If Miss Li didn’t need them to win, then is she relying on the other two, the grandma and the dog?

The two expressions changed, but they quickly recovered.

Anyway, as long as they don’t need to seriously fight, then they don’t need to think of anything.

With Miss Li’s words, Jun Qi walked towards the center with light steps in an extremely good mood, which was misunderstood by Chen Ren as some sort of scheme or the guy had thought of ways to counter him.

Chen Ren raised his vigilance.

Han Wangping also paid more attention.

Along with Jun Qi’s entrance was the lively cheering of the Outer District.

"Come on, water lad! Beat that metal boy!"

The other side also cheered for Chen Ren: "Master Chen, defeat the guy!"

Jun Qi waved his hands towards the crowd before smiling widely.

Chen Ren stiffened, intimidated by the smile. There were hundreds of thoughts running in his head.

When the two men met in the center, the staff pounded the bell, signaling for the fight to start.

Everyone anticipating thought they were in for a fight because of Jun Qi’s carefree attitude but they witnessed were...

"I concede defeat!"

Not just one but two.

"I concede defeat!"

Both Jun Qi and Tan Ge raised their hands in air, indicating their surrender which ended the two fights in just a few seconds.

The Outer District became silent and it was now the turn for the opposing side to laugh at their situation.

But those who attempted to do so, ended up receiving ’death threats’ with multiple elderlies rolling their sleeves and picking up their pots and spatulas.

The tense atmosphere only halted when the host announced the next match, "Third match starts- Speed Vs Speed!"
