When Tang Xiaomin, panting for breath, appeared at the stadium entrance, she immediately drew the attention of the entire venue.
However, everyone merely assumed she was late and had come to watch the spectacle, not paying her much mind.
Yang Yang rolled her eyes and said irritably.
"So what if she's late? She has to put on a show, how dramatic."
At this moment, Ye Lingyun felt completely relieved.
The final trump card had finally arrived.
"You're not late, you've arrived just in time."
Tang Xiaomin walked over, and Ye Lingyun personally handed her a set of white Daoist robes.
"Go change first, then it'll be your turn."
Ye Lingyun looked at Tang Xiaomin, his face filled with trust.
"All six of them have lost. It's all up to you now."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaomin frowned slightly.
"At the beginning, you said I was just here to make up the numbers. It seems... you weren't being sincere."
Ye Lingyun gave an awkward laugh, a little embarrassed.
"I didn't know the opposing team leader was so formidable. Their captain just defeated six of our members, and they're being so arrogant."
"That's right, they insulted us after winning, saying we're flowers in a greenhouse and can't take a loss."
Liu Feng also stepped forward indignantly.
"Xiaomin, teach them a lesson later, show them what you've got! Redeem our honor!"
"Yes, teach them a good lesson, don't hold back."
"Xiaomin, fight hard! My family owns a hospital, I'll call an ambulance to be on standby right now!"
"Exactly, we'll take responsibility for any accident! We can afford any amount of money!"
More and more angry voices erupted. They were all from Modu University, having been infuriated by Xu Kun and his team's arrogance.
Before, lacking the strength, they could only endure and suppress their anger.
Now, with a super fighter arriving, they all felt emboldened and arrogant.
Tang Xiaomin glanced at the opponents standing on the stage and the team members on the side with disdainful expressions.
She shook her head helplessly.
"It's just a sparring session, a little effort is enough. Everyone, calm down."
She didn't understand why these spectators had so much anger for what was supposed to be a friendly match.
Yang Yang was shocked when she realized Tang Xiaomin was the last team member.
"What?"
"Lingyun, how can Tang Xiaomin be the last team member? She's a girl, and the other members and opponents are all men. Did you make a mistake?"
Ye Lingyun remained silent, but Shu Ya, Liu Feng, and others spoke up.
"Young Lady, please don't cause trouble. Xiaomin is the most suitable for this competition."
"Exactly, exactly, you don't need to worry about this."
"You guys..."
Yang Yang was surprised that everyone was siding with Tang Xiaomin.
How could she, a girl, possibly defeat Xu Kun, that Taekwondo expert? Wasn't this just fooling around?
Yang Yang attributed the root of all this to Ye Lingyun.
"Lingyun, are you really going to let Tang Xiaomin compete?"
Ye Lingyun disliked having his decisions questioned, but considering she was his nominal fiancée, he still gave Yang Yang face in front of so many people.
"I believe in Xiaomin's strength. She definitely won't disappoint everyone."
Everyone chimed in: "That's right, Xiaomin won't disappoint us."
With the crowd's support, Yang Yang, no matter how angry, could do nothing.
She could only say coldly to Tang Xiaomin, "Tang Xiaomin, since everyone trusts you so much, you absolutely must not embarrass yourself on stage and disgrace everyone."
Tang Xiaomin ignored Yang Yang and went directly to change into the white Daoist robes.
When she stood barefoot on the ring, the surrounding crowd let out a unified roar.
"Xiaomin, mighty!"
"Xiaomin, victory!"
"Xiaomin, victory!"
...
Yang Yang looked around at the audience who had such unwavering faith in Tang Xiaomin, her face full of disdain.
"Hmph! Let's see how she embarrasses herself later."
On the ring, Xu Kun stared at the astonishingly beautiful face before him, momentarily lost.
He had seen many beauties, but this was the first time he had seen one so pure and ethereal.
Sparring inevitably involved pain, and he felt reluctant to lay a hand on her.
"I won't fight you, you should go down," Xu Kun said.
He was completely considering her well-being.
Tang Xiaomin glanced at her own physique. Externally, she indeed couldn't compare to Xu Kun. It seemed she was being underestimated.
"If you're saying this because of my gender, then there's no need. Feel free to use your full strength."
Xu Kun didn't expect that, despite being a woman, she wouldn't appreciate his consideration.
"You've got a big mouth. But you're no match for me, go down and get someone stronger."
"No need to change."
...
Xu Kun looked at Ye Lingyun in the stands, somewhat speechless.
"Young Master Yun, are you sending a woman up here hoping I won't be able to bring myself to fight, and will surrender voluntarily?"
"Even if I surrender, it won't be a true victory."
"Or is this your way of forcing me to admit defeat?"
Ye Lingyun simply smiled faintly.
"Xu Kun, this is the expert I specially invited to deal with you. I'll warn you, don't underestimate my friend, or your end will be tragic."
Despite his words, Xu Kun couldn't believe that the beautiful woman opposite him could be an expert.
"Since you insist, I won't try to persuade you anymore. Let's begin."
While changing, Tang Xiaomin had also tied her hair into a ponytail.
At this moment, she looked both beautiful and heroic, radiating a captivating aura.
Looking at her teammates outside the ring, bruised and swollen, it was not hard to imagine how heavily Xu Kun had fought before.
Since she was now part of the team, she had to contribute to it.
Carrying the hopes of all the students, she would fight the opponent.
"Wait, let me say something first."
Tang Xiaomin suddenly spoke, "To show respect to my opponent, I will not hold back."
What familiar dialogue.
Xu Kun had said these very words before.
Now, they were coming from Tang Xiaomin's mouth.
This made Xu Kun feel challenged by Tang Xiaomin and inexplicably eager to defeat her.
"You've got a lot of confidence. It seems you have some skill. Let me see it."
"Heh..."
Tang Xiaomin's lips curved into a smile.
Under everyone's gaze, she launched her attack.
Xu Kun had just taken his stance.
Suddenly, Tang Xiaomin leaped up, her body soaring into the air. With a move called the "Death Scissor Kick," she was instantly in front of Xu Kun.
"Ah!"
By the time Xu Kun reacted and tried to block with his hand.
The moment his hand touched Tang Xiaomin's foot, he felt an overwhelming force, like a tidal wave, that he couldn't resist.
He could only watch as Tang Xiaomin's double-sided strike slammed heavily onto his head.
Bang!
The impact was so great that Xu Kun's head, after being hit, flew back several meters before crashing heavily onto the ground.
Silence.
The entire venue was in absolute silence.
