CHAPTER 338: CHAPTER 208: UNWINNABLE GAME? CHALLENGES IN ADVERSITY

As expected, the third battle of the juniors...

Cangling Ancient Country lost.

So now the juniors’ record is two draws and one loss.

"It’s over now, the juniors were originally the seed of hope, and now they’re performing like this."

"Yeah, if the juniors could have two draws and one win, there’d still be some hope."

"There’s no worse start than this."

"I watched all three matches, the juniors really tried their best, they were facing the Youlan Empire after all."

Everyone sighed, while the audience supporting the Youlan Empire had already started laughing.

"Overestimated themselves."

"I said it, there won’t be any miracles."

"The sophomores of Cangling Ancient Country are really dragging this tournament down, I honestly don’t believe they’ll have any miracles."

"Forget it, they’re already three wins behind including the two matches they missed, unless the sophomores can win two victories."

While people were discussing, the sophomores’ match followed directly and began.

...

Lin Chen sat in his seat, feeling a bit anxious.

The results of the sophomores’ first match were slow to come, after waiting for another hour, finally saw a student rushing over, saying excitedly to Lin Chen and the others: "Won... we won."

Lin Chen and the others froze, and so did the other spectators.

The sophomores were recognized as the weakest, with horrible performances against Beiming Country.

Yet now, they’ve actually won a victory?!

Imagine what kind of mindset the sophomores must have had going into this match.

"Good."

Lin Chen clenched his fist.

Now he was starting to ignite with fighting spirit.

He hoped they could hold on...

Give him a chance.

Also, give Cangling Ancient Country a chance at the championship.

...

Lin Chen’s desire for the championship was strong, if the assassination of the National Preceptor hadn’t happened, Lin Chen might not have had such a fierce desire for the championship.

However, Youlan Empire’s sneaky tricks and their early champagne celebration to mock them completely enraged Lin Chen.

Though Lin Chen lived two lives, his real age in this world was just over twenty.

Young people all have a certain vigor deep down inside...

Lin Chen was no exception.

The competition continued, and soon new results came in. The last sophomore student tried his best, but could only secure a draw.

Upon hearing the result, the whole audience was in an uproar.

The final match was really too intense.

Based on the current results, the records of the two countries were basically tied.

The advantage for Youlan Empire was the four points Cangling Ancient Country missed.

"There’s still a chance, there’s still a chance, as long as Lin Chen and Zhang Suqing can win all the matches, there’s a chance for a tiebreaker."

"Yes."

The audience, upon hearing this, was as excited as if injected with adrenaline.

Although they were still behind, at least they saw a glimmer of opportunity.

The current record for Youlan Empire is:

Three wins, three draws, one loss.

The record for Cangling Ancient Country is:

One win, three draws, three losses.

So, as long as Lin Chen and the others win the next two matches, there’s still a chance.

"I’ll go first." Zhang Suqing took a deep breath and said to Lin Chen.

She was starting to feel great pressure now.

Having played this far, Zhang Suqing’s trump cards were already used up.

And the opponent’s Spirit Beast was superior in both quality and level.

Lin Chen also understood that Zhang Suqing’s mental fortitude wasn’t as strong as his. Putting her last might actually cause her to lose her composure.

So Lin Chen nodded; he said to Zhang Suqing, "The gap isn’t big. If you play seriously, there’s still a chance."

"Alright."

Zhang Suqing nodded firmly.

The round for Zhang Suqing was a beast battle; her First Spirit Beast came out and immediately started a fierce contest with the opponent’s third seeded Spirit Beast.

As soon as the match began, the opponent pressured Zhang Suqing’s Spirit Beast, and when the audience thought the match was lost, Zhang Suqing’s First Spirit Beast suddenly surged, using its fifth skill to turn the tide.

Ultimately, they won the first game.

When the match was won, some in the crowd with heart conditions began to breathe rapidly.

If the first game was lost, there’s no need to continue with the following ones.

"One more round, one more round..."

"Zhang Suqing, come on!"

"There’s still a chance, don’t give up!"

"You can do it."

The cheers from the audience were deafening; everyone wanted to see Cangling Ancient Country complete this impossible comeback.

If they can force a tiebreaker today, the match’s result is no longer predictable.

Seeing the loss of the first game, Tyler got anxious too. He hurriedly called over the third student for a quick meeting.

After a fifteen-minute break, the match resumed.

With the victory in the first game, Zhang Suqing also regained her confidence.

However, the opponent’s third seed went all out from the start.

Zhang Suqing thought she could do it like the first match, endure for a while and then counter-attack.

But the opponent seemed to have figured out her strategy; they had thoroughly studied Zhang Suqing’s second Spirit Beast’s trump card. Just as Zhang Suqing was about to surge, they avoided her edge directly.

Zhang Suqing’s second Spirit Beast’s attack missed, and the opponent immediately launched a counterattack.

Though Zhang Suqing’s Spirit Beast didn’t give up, choosing to evade battles, the problem was the Youlan Empire student’s second Spirit Beast’s fourth skill, which no one else had seen.

Using the advantage of information gap, Zhang Suqing’s second Spirit Beast misjudged the direction of the opponent’s skill and eventually lost the match.

"Gone."

"Too bad."

"Indeed, it’s the information gap. If only Zhang Suqing knew the opponent’s Spirit Beast skills, it would have been better."
