Re-appearance 

After Zhang Feng left, Li Wei leaned on the lounge sofa and worked out the strategy for the next game. Then, he took out his phone and logged into the Department of Education of Nanjiang province website. After entering "Xiao Ming," he quickly checked his past public examination results. 

Indeed, the strength of this third-year high school student was above Jia Yueping. Since last year, his vitality has been above 8 points in every provincial public examination. 

He was, in the standard of others, indeed a powerful figure. So Li Wei did not think much of it. If he were to fight without restraint, he would be able to make his opponent lose the match without resistance with his 4 points of vitality.

"How much vitality should I mobilize this time?"

Even if the difficulty were great, Li Wei would not reveal all his strengths, which was not conducive to his future negotiations and earnings. Therefore, after thinking for a while, he decided to fight as hard as he could this time, at the same time only exposing 9 points of vitality at most.

This way, it could not only confuse the audience and various institutions again but also would not affect the following odds. Therefore, the remaining issue was only to control his vitality as much as possible.

…

Two hours later, the announcement about Li Wei's battle sounded. However, the moment he and Zhang Feng walked out of the lounge, they were blocked by a group of scouts.

"Mr. Li! I'm from Rick Sports. Can we have a chat after the competition is over?"

"This is my name card. I'll be waiting for your call. I hope you can bring your talent to our university."

"Our school has already decided on your benefit. Please take a look!"

"Mr. Li, your appearance and figure are great. Would you consider entering the film industry? This is my name card!"

"..."

Li Wei was stunned, looking at the dozens of people who were madly handing him business cards. He did not expect that there would be so many waiting for him though he had only played one game.

Zhang Feng made way for Li Wei using his big body and said to those people, "Ugh! Don't you guys even know the rules? I'm the manager. Let me know if you have any questions. Don't affect my buddy's pre-match state."

These were Zhang Feng's heartfelt words. He was worried that Li Wei would not be able to handle it as Xiao Ming was extremely strong. Losing the money was a small matter. He just did not want anything to happen to Li Wei.

As if Li Wei could sense what was on Zhang Feng's mind, he turned around and shouted after walking to the spacious area, "Don't worry! I would win! Remember to save me a good spot in the restaurant!" 

After that, the two of them gave each other a thumbs up and began to deal with their respective matters. 

With the end of the first round of the competition, the atmosphere in the stadium was once again uplifted. The host held the microphone, and his voice resounded.

"After the previous round of intense competition, we've already found an even stronger opponent! Next, the upcoming matches will decide the spots for the semi-final tomorrow! Enjoy the show!"

The audience's cheers and whistles were endless during this process. Their enthusiasm flooded the entire square. Everyone knew that the battle for the semi-final spot represented the arrival of the most exciting matches. The upcoming matches were the most intense. 

The audience kept shouting at Li Wei the moment he appeared.

"Li Wei, come on! I bet on you winning! The odds are huge!"

"Xiao Ming is not easy to deal with! You have to be more serious!"

"Woohoo! Our dark horse has appeared!"

"An expert against a dark horse! This match is worth watching! It must be very exciting! I want to record the entire process!"

"..."

Li Wei did not intend to respond but went straight to the arena under the staff's guidance. Xiao Ming was already warming up. He was very serious compared to Jia Yueping, who had underestimated his opponent. 

Under the refraction of sunlight, one could see the sweat that occasionally flashed on his body. His confident and powerful movements had garnered many cheers from the audience.

"Good luck, Xiao Ming! We have faith in you!"

"As expected of a well-known martial arts student in Ruiyang City. You can see his extraordinary strength just from the warm-up!"

"Although Xiao Ming is short, he is best at speed. Li Wei will have a hard time in this match!"

"Let's teach this newbie, Li Wei, a lesson! I'll bet on you winning!"

"..."

Then, the audience paying attention to this match looked at Li Wei again, wanting to observe the dark horse's warm-up. However, when they saw him, the excitement on their faces turned into speechlessness.

Compared to Xiao Ming's dashing and light warm-up movements, Li Wei's movement seemed very casual. Like before, he began to slowly twist his waist, stretch his arms, and move his neck, similar to the warm-up exercises during physical education classes.

The audience almost fell asleep watching him. Nonetheless, Li Wei did this on purpose. He was unlike these players who could not wait to show off their talents. Instead, he wanted to hide his strength and amaze the world with a single brilliant feat. No one would be able to know the details of his strength in any case.

Ring! 

"Contestants from both sides! Get ready to enter the arena!" The two came to the center of the arena as usual after hearing the judge's voice. 

As soon as the match started, Xiao Ming staged a juggling turnover and took the initiative to distance himself from Li Wei. Following that, he began to use his extraordinary speed to shuttle back and forth in all directions, wanting to find Li Wei's flaws.

In the face of Xiao Ming's movements, Li Wei, adjusting his vitality, frowned and said, "Why is it like a circus performance?" 

Although he said that, Li Wei could feel the flow of vitality around him. He had to deal with Xiao Ming seriously. With the idea of fighting a "protracted battle" in mind, Li Wei got into a fighting posture and prepared to fight at any time.

Then, Xiao Ming suddenly accelerated and attacked Li Wei from behind. How could Li Wei let him succeed? After a quick turn-around, the two officially began their first fight.
