Huo Qianyang shrank back, not daring to speak.

After a long pause, he stammered, "Captain, Captain, Cheng Huaijin is willing, we can definitely win..."

Zhao Yunzhou turned and left, leaving behind only one sentence: "Don't call me captain. I don't have a teammate as irresponsible as you."

Huo Qianyang slumped to the ground, his head hanging low and his shoulders shaking.

Chen Qingwan passed by and tossed a pack of tissues down: "If Cheng Huaijin wins, that's fine, but if he loses... you'll have to ask the coach for leniency." With that, she shook her head and walked away.

Huo Qianyang sat on the ground, desperately suppressing the smile on his face.

...A sense of responsibility? What's that? Hmm, if the captain doesn't want me to do it, then I won't. But it's been a long time since I've seen a captain with such volatile emotions.

Huo Qianyang summoned a poisonous spider, his long bangs concealing the madness in his eyes.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle," he said to the spider.

-The captain is so funny.

...

"Welcome back to the competition! I'm your host, Jian!"

"Hello everyone, I'm your commentator, A-Kang."

"The Round of 16 matches of the 61st Middle School Beast Taming League Team Competition are underway! The score is currently 1:1, and the third match is now in session. Cheng Woyu from Dongcheng No.1 Middle School will face off against Cheng Huaijin from Dongcheng Yaotian Middle School!"

"These two contestants' names are really similar!"

"Yes, Cheng Woyu needs no introduction. I believe that viewers who follow the Middle School Beast Taming League know that he is the newly crowned runner-up in the individual competition!"

"Another contestant, Cheng Huaijin, also has an excellent resume: champion of the Pet Cup and the Misty Cup, and he even has a little armored tiger!"

"Wow, this match looks like it'll be interesting! Let's invite the players to the stage!"

Cheng Huaijin and Cheng Woyu took to the stage from opposite sides of the battlefield.

Cheng Huaijin's appearance instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the audience on this side.

"Huaijin, Huaijin, with extraordinary talent, is unmatched on the field!"

Upon hearing the slogan, Cheng Huaijin was so startled that she almost stumbled and fell off the battle platform. She turned her head and immediately saw Fang Juexia waving frantically at her from the crowd.

Cheng Huaijin smiled and responded to everyone's support with great energy.

The shouts grew even louder!

"Now I declare—the third match begins!"
