Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Actually, Han Jijun was overthinking things — smart people were prone to make this kind of mistake. Ling Lan's words were just normal words of comfort, with no other meaning behind them. As for why the effect was so good, it could only be said that Ling Lan was too prestigious in group 072 — everyone believed in her unconditionally.
The group walked to the area for the first grade ranking matches. Zilong quietly tugged at Ling Lan, and Ling Lan subconsciously slowed her steps.
Seeing that the other companions beside him were not paying attention to them, Zilong asked quietly, "Boss Lan, is your problem solved?"
The other companions might not know about Ling Lan's problem, but as one of the parties involved, Zilong knew very well that once Ling Lan entered a fight, she would lose control when fully focused.
Ling Lan's heart warmed, and she nodded slightly at Zilong. "Don't worry, I'm fine now."
Only then did Zilong relax and smile. "That's good." He suddenly turned serious and said, "Boss Lan, this time, I will give it my all." As he said this, Zilong's eyes were filled with fighting spirit — it looked like he really wanted to defeat Ling Lan once.
Ling Lan nodded, indicating that she would accept the challenge.
At that moment, the two of them felt the communicators on their wrists vibrate violently. Their eyes lit up, knowing that the battle notice had arrived.
Sure enough, the communicators showed their arena and match numbers. Zilong's arena was arena number 33, the third match, while Ling Lan's was arena number 35, the sixth match.
"Boss Lan, this time I'll finish my match before you." Zilong was very excited — this way, he wouldn't miss the chance to watch Ling Lan fight.
The other companions also received the message, and they all looked at it together. Suddenly, Han Xuya cried out, "Ahhhh, why am I the first match? I'm not mentally prepared."
Luo Chao quickly comforted her, "I'm not much better than you. I'm the second match."
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
Luo Shaoyun and Li Jinghong cried out at the same time. The three of them anxiously stretched out their arms. The three of them lined up their communication devices and compared them to their arena. When they realized that they weren't in the same arena, the three of them heaved a sigh of relief. Luo Chao even patted her chest to calm her wildly beating heart. Everyone was lucky that they didn't have to kill each other right from the start.
None of them wanted to compete with their friends and eliminate them.
For the third battle, Zilong and Yuan Youyun would fight together. Just like the second battle, they would fight on different stages. The fourth match was between Han Jijun and He Chaoyang. They were also in different arenas, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
The fifth match was Luo Lang, and the sixth match was Ling Lan. Although they didn't know if there would be a seventh match, for Ling Lan's team, this was the best arrangement. The strongest Ling Lan was the last to appear, and this gave them a lot of courage.
The first to fight was Han Xuya. She was in the first match of arena 32, and her opponent was a little fatty from the merit class.
Luck was not a factor in the matches arranged by the academy. The students from the special classes were all students from the outstanding classes and normal classes who had fought their way up. If they wanted to counterattack, the children would have to defeat the students from the special classes with their own strength.
The two chubby children stood together in the arena. It was very comical, especially Han Xuya. She had a weird habit of eating meat slices during battles. Her chubby cheeks were always puffed up, looking very much like a hamster eating.
Of course, only Ling Lan had this feeling. The other little friends all looked at arena 32 nervously, waiting for the result of Han Xuya's battle. At this time, they were superstitious, hoping that Han Xuya would make a big splash and bring them good luck.
Reality proved that Han Xuya didn't disappoint them. The little fatty opposite her didn't give Han Xuya much trouble. Not long after, Han Xuya found a flaw in the opponent and knocked him to the ground. Before the opponent could get up, Han Xuya smashed him like a small cannonball.
"Bam!" A dull thud rang out, causing Ling Lan and the others to suck in a breath of cold air, their teeth aching. Sure enough, the little fatty was knocked unconscious by Han Xuya's heavy body. Without any resistance, Han Xuya rode on top of him and began to beat him up from both sides.
As the referee, the teacher couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. He hurriedly called for the fight to stop, decisively announcing that Han Xuya had won the match. He was afraid that if he called out too slowly, that little fatty would have died.
Han Xuya walked down the arena smugly. Zilong asked Han Jijun beside him, "Did you guys learn a new move?" Han Xuya's teeth-hurting way of smashing people was something she hadn't learned in the past.
Han Jijun nodded and said, "Yes, for this ranking battle, the elders in our family specially arranged for special training. They taught us a few Floret moves that we can use now."
Zilong's expression turned serious. Students with family martial arts would probably all undergo special training for this ranking battle. This match wasn't as simple as he had thought.
Luo Chao's next match also proved this point. Luo Lang and Luo Chao didn't waste any time either. Luo Chao's stamina was obviously weaker than Han Xuya's. This time, Luo Chao fought very intelligently. She didn't go head to head like Han Xuya, but instead used a skirmish style, conserving her stamina as much as possible to find the opponent's weakness.
Luo Chao's opponent was also a student from the merit class. His foundation was very solid, and although his moves and stances were ordinary, there were no obvious weaknesses.
"Your sister's a bit of a goner." Zilong said worriedly. Although he and Luo Lang didn't get along well, he still took good care of the shy Luo Chao. Seeing the stalemate, he couldn't help but speak up.
Luo Lang's hands were already clenched into fists. He was the one who was most worried about his sister, but he still said calmly, "Don't be anxious. Wait a little longer. As long as she finds the opponent's weakness, Luo Chao will definitely be able to defeat him." Luo Lang had seen Luo Chao's hard work during this period of time. He didn't want Luo Chao's efforts to go to waste here.
This match was the longest of all the first years' matches. By the time Luo Shaoyun and Li Jinghong returned, Luo Chao's match was still not over. And at this time, Zilong and Yuan Youyun had already received the notice to prepare to go on stage. Their match was about to begin.
Not long after Zilong and Yuan Youyun left, Luo Chao's skirmish suddenly slowed down. Luo Lang's expression changed.
At the same time, Luo Chao's opponent's eyes lit up with surprise. He shot forward like an arrow and threw a punch at Luo Chao's chest.
Although Luo Chao reacted quickly and dodged to the side, her left shoulder was still hit. Her young face showed a hint of pain. However, her left hand didn't slow down. She grabbed the opponent's right arm.
"Not good!" The opponent felt his right arm being grabbed tightly and knew that something was wrong. As expected, he saw Luo Chao's right fist coming at him. He couldn't dodge it. He didn't expect this weak-looking girl to have the courage to exchange a punch for a punch. This was a method of mutual destruction.
"Aiya! Mutual destruction! Little Sister Luo Chao, are you okay? " Seeing this scene, Luo Shaoyun and Li Jinghong, who had just returned, exclaimed in surprise. They really liked this beautiful little sister of theirs.
Luo Lang didn't say anything. He looked at the arena with a cold expression. Mutual destruction? Not necessarily!
Luo Chao's opponent naturally didn't want to take Luo Chao's punch just like that. He raised his left arm and placed it in front of his chest, preparing to receive Luo Chao's attack. In his mind, girls were naturally weak. Using his left arm to block and deflect the force should be enough.
However, when Luo Chao's fist landed on his left arm, he felt a strong force surge through him. Then, his left arm cracked and a sharp pain shot up to his heart. He couldn't help but cry out in pain, "Ah …"
Luo Shaoyun gulped. "Luo Lang, is your sister a freakishly strong girl?" Her strength was even stronger than his. It should be known that children nowadays had absorbed gene agents since they were young to repair their bodies. Although they couldn't be considered to have copper skin and iron bones, they were still strong enough. Normal strength wouldn't be able to hurt them.
"No, this is one of our family's combat techniques, One-Inch Punch!" Luo Lang didn't hide it and explained it to Luo Shaoyun and the others seriously.
One-Inch Punch wasn't a high-end technique. Many families had similar techniques for exerting force. Luo Lang didn't mind letting others know the name of the technique. If he didn't teach it to them personally, they wouldn't be able to understand the secret behind it. There was no need to be afraid of others learning it secretly.
"Little Four, did you save Luo Chao's attack just now?" Ling Lan's eyes lit up. This technique was pretty good. When she had time, she would study it.
"I saved it." Little Four's answer received Ling Lan's approval. Little Four made a victory sign proudly when Ling Lan wasn't paying attention. He wouldn't tell Ling Lan that, in fact, from when Ling Lan was young to now, everything could be extracted from his database. There was no problem with archiving at all.
Seeing the child's arm break, the instructor in charge of Luo Chao's arena immediately stopped the match and announced Luo Chao's victory. Although Luo Chao's opponent was unwilling to accept the result, he couldn't do anything about it. He could only walk down the arena with teary eyes. This time, he lost because of his patience. He shouldn't have been so impatient. His chances of winning were higher than Luo Chao's.
Luo Chao excitedly pounced towards her brother. Luo Lang hugged his sister and said unhappily, "Why did you have to use this method?" Although he was happy that his sister won, he didn't want his sister to win in such an injured manner.
Luo Chao looked at Luo Lang timidly. "I'm almost out of stamina. The opponent was very stable and didn't show any weaknesses. Brother said that my attack speed was very slow. If I didn't use this method, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to hit him."
Luo Chao wanted to nag a little more but Han Xuya said unhappily, "It's good that you can win. Do you want Luo Chao to lose?"
Luo Lang was stunned. "No … no." This time, he couldn't say anything about Luo Chao. After all, Luo Chao won.
Luo Chao secretly sighed and looked at Han Xuya gratefully. Facing her brother's gaze, she still felt pressured. She secretly looked at Ling Lan and saw Ling Lan looking at her with a smile. There was even praise in her eyes. She instantly blushed.
He … he's looking at me! Luo Chao felt like she was going to faint. Her heart was beating rapidly.
"Huh? Boss, when that girl saw you, she looked like she was going to faint. Oh, it must be because you were too fierce and scared her. "Little Four thought of Ling Lan's violent behavior when they first met and instantly understood.
