All eyes were on Xu Kun, who had fallen to the ground, anticipating him to stand up and continue the fight in the next second.
Three seconds passed.
Ten seconds passed.
One minute passed.
...
However, Xu Kun's body merely twitched, and he couldn't get up again.
Until Tang Xiaomin spoke.
"Next."
Only then did Xu Kun's teammates belatedly rush to his side.
"Captain!"
"Captain, how are you?"
...
Xu Kun was so disoriented by that kick that his mind went blank for a minute before he gradually regained consciousness.
He weakly said, "My... my eyes... suddenly went blind..."
Seeing stars indicated a heavy blow to the head.
This situation was critical and required immediate treatment.
"Captain, don't worry, the doctor will be here soon."
"Doctor!"
"Doctor!"
...
Amidst the panicked shouts of Xu Kun's teammates, the onlookers merely watched with cold indifference.
"Tsk, you were so self-righteous when you injured someone, but now that you're injured, you're panicking."
"Shameless, you deserve a good lesson to understand how others feel."
"Xiaomin is mighty!"
"Xiaomin is domineering!"
...
Faced with so many people gloating, Xu Kun's teammates angrily stepped forward.
"Don't push it too far, you heartless lot! You have no compassion!"
This remark was immediately met with counterarguments.
"This is respect for the opponent, and we learned it from you. What are you shouting about?"
"Sigh, some people can't handle losing, can't play fair, you little trash."
This remark thoroughly angered one of the teammates, who was about to charge forward.
Liu Feng stepped forward, blocking him, and said coldly.
"This is a competition. The stage is where you should be fighting."
"However, if you want to start a brawl, we have plenty of people on our side, so we don't mind."
Their arrogant and disrespectful attitude just now had offended everyone from Modu Academy.
If a fight were to break out, even one finger from each person wouldn't be something they could withstand.
"You... very good, you just wait!"
Ye Lingyun said calmly, "Medical personnel, take the injured away."
He primarily wanted to keep Xu Kun by his side and didn't want him to be incapacitated like this.
"Everyone, stop arguing. This is a sparring match, accidents are bound to happen."
"If you can take it, continue competing. If you can't, admit defeat."
Xu Kun was carried away, his teammates gnashing their teeth with fighting spirit.
Another teammate stepped onto the stage, glaring at Tang Xiaomin with sharp eyes.
"Captain was just careless and you ambushed him. Don't think you can keep winning."
Ambushed?
Yang Yang, watching from the stands, understood. So that's how it was.
She had wondered how Tang Xiaomin could have defeated Xu Kun in one move.
"It was just a lucky win. Don't celebrate too early. There are still six teammates left on the other side. If she can defeat them all, then it's a real victory."
Yang Yang felt that Tang Xiaomin stood no chance against all of them when they were serious, let alone a one-person sweep against seven.
Shu Ya and the others couldn't stand listening and immediately retorted.
"Hey, why are you always targeting Xiaomin? Could you be a spy sent by the other side?"
"Exactly, you're boosting the enemy's morale and crushing our own. You really want Xiaomin to lose, don't you?"
"Traitor!"
...
"You..."
Yang Yang's face turned ashen with anger. She truly couldn't understand why everyone was so supportive of Tang Xiaomin.
Especially Ye Lingyun. If he had a crush on her, fine, but he was letting Tang Xiaomin, a girl, compete on stage.
And when she was being challenged, Ye Lingyun, her fiancé, acted as if nothing was happening, not saying a word, not helping her.
This feeling of being ignored made her extremely uncomfortable.
"There are six people left on the other side. Do you really believe Tang Xiaomin can defeat all seven and achieve victory?"
The few of them said in unison: "Of course we believe."
"Why?"
...
No one answered Yang Yang's question, they just smiled knowingly and kept silent, having their own reasons.
The dent in the teaching building at the front of the sports field from the shot put had yet to be repaired.
The fight with Liu Feng at the martial arts hall, the record at the abandoned factory, and the Ye family's daughter Ye Die, who was known as a martial arts expert...
The publicly known achievements alone were enough to speak for themselves.
The strongest captain on the opposing side was knocked out by Tang Xiaomin in one move. The remaining pawns and minor generals would be dealt with easily.
Just as Yang Yang was getting frustrated from not receiving an answer, there was a bang.
Another team member was knocked off the stage and was unable to move.
Yang Yang hadn't even seen how it happened before it was over.
"Yay, Xiaomin won again!"
"Go Xiaomin, finish them off in one go!"
"Yes, teach them a lesson!" Sudannovel.com
...
Tang Xiaomin, on stage, was quite speechless.
She actually didn't want to be so heavy-handed, but the opponent had no intention of showing her mercy.
Another team member was carried away.
Then, one after another, team members were knocked out with no ability to fight back.
Witnessing this, the crowd let out rousing cheers, with smiles of victory.
Even Ye Lingyun couldn't help but cast an admiring glance at Tang Xiaomin.
She was the brightest star in the night sky, exuding dazzling brilliance.
A woman who possessed both beauty and strength.
Everyone was watching Tang Xiaomin.
But Yang Yang's gaze was fixed on Ye Lingyun.
She saw the admiration in Ye Lingyun's eyes, admiration for Tang Xiaomin.
She was already his recognized fiancée, yet he never looked at her with that kind of gaze.
Undeniably, Tang Xiaomin was indeed very beautiful, and the combat power she displayed at this moment was astonishing.
Mere beauty was not worth mentioning.
But when beauty coincided with any skill, it became a trump card.
Clearly, Tang Xiaomin was such a trump card.
Yang Yang sighed, feeling dejected.
She began to doubt whether her proudest advantage could truly compare to Tang Xiaomin.
As Tang Xiaomin systematically defeated all six opponents, Yang Yang's dejection grew stronger, and her expression became even more grim.
She was truly powerful, with only one opponent left, and she would achieve the feat of defeating seven opponents, winning with overwhelming strength.
And... she would have helped Ye Lingyun.
The opponent had only one member left. After witnessing his former teammates being defeated one by one by Tang Xiaomin, his legs went weak, and his back grew cold.
Under immense pressure, he suddenly feigned a need to use the restroom.
"I... I'm going to the restroom first."
"I'm not deserting my post, I'm just going to the restroom."
"Hahaha..."
Amidst the laughter of the entire audience, the team member ran towards the restroom.
"That's hilarious, he's so scared he wet his pants."
"Maybe he's running away from the restroom. If so, you'll be considered to have conceded."
When no one was paying attention, Yang Yang also quietly left the scene and headed towards the restroom.
