"Vivi is absolutely right. Arena competitions always test the mental fortitude of the players. In this situation, those players with a strong mentality who are not affected by external factors can actually perform beyond their usual level. I just don't know if these two players are the type with a strong mentality."
Referee Xiao Bei nodded in agreement.
So-called "clutch athletes" are the rarest in any competition.
Because off-field factors are an indispensable part of arena competitions, many people have a high level of skill, but their mental fortitude is poor. When they are disturbed by off-field factors, they may even forget how to walk.
As a result, they lost many games they shouldn't have lost and were upset.
These situations are all real.
Having commentated on so many matches, Xiao Bei naturally understands how common stage fright is among the players.
"I've also played in competitions, and... indeed, overcoming this weakness is quite difficult for most players."
Vivi nodded thoughtfully.
As the two commentators narrated, the atmosphere in the arena fell silent for a moment, then surged up again like a tsunami.
I never imagined the situation would become this dire.
The two universities have the same number of gold medals!
In other words, whoever wins the upcoming match will determine the true champion of this college league that has lasted for more than ten days.
Having come this far, which student from either university would be willing to stop here?
No matter what, we must give it our all and go all out!
After all, no one will remember who the runner-up was; everyone is only concerned about the final winner.
Linchuan Middle School hasn't won a championship for many years, and has won the runner-up title too many times. Even if it were given the title of "uncrowned king," it would feel more like a tragedy than an honor.
They, from Linchuan, have been the losers many times, just one step away from becoming the losers.
This time, all the students present in Linchuan were hoping that Wang Yue would win.
"Wang Yue! Keep it up!"
"Charge, Linchuan!"
"The champion is Weiyang!"
The audience erupted in cheers.
...
Looking at the densely packed audience seats in front of me, the crowd was so large that there wasn't even room to put my feet down.
"Holy crap... how come there are so many people? Did I accidentally wander into some kind of octagon competition venue?"
Xia Che stared dumbfounded at the sea of people before him. He swore that he hadn't expected to encounter such a large crowd before coming here.
He arrived half an hour early, but there were still so many people!
Did they arrive an hour early?
"After all, it's the finals... Didn't you hear what the host just said? This match will determine who the real champion of the college league is. How can they not be excited? I bet they're all students from Weiyang or Linchuan, right?"
Yu Shiyue rubbed her stomach contentedly and quietly burped.
She just ate her fill and is still savoring the memory.
oops……
Once people are full, they become too lazy to move, even their brains. Don't ask her these questions; Yu Shiyue is too lazy to think about them anyway.
Now that you mention it, it's true...
Xia Che looked around and saw that although the school did not have any dress code requirements for students during the college league, many students still voluntarily wore their school uniforms for the sake of honor and the sense of ceremony of witnessing who would win the championship.
After all, before this incident, no one expected the championship competition to be so intense.
The winner will not be determined until the final match is played.
This was indeed the closest Linchuan Middle School had ever come to the championship in all these years.
No wonder the students at their school are so highly motivated...
"However, Li Junyang actually withdrew from the competition? It seems... Xing Zhicheng must have given him the information about me."
Xia Che stroked his chin. The so-called "seed player of Weiyang" mentioned by the commentator, who was from the men's taekwondo group, must be Li Junyang.
This arrogant guy, what could possibly make him give up the opportunity to show off in front of others...?
Perhaps only other major news or a major blow could have accomplished that?
Xia Che's identity has now been completely exposed to the Xing family. According to the information Ning Zheyuan brought him, Li Junyang has now become Xing Zhicheng's godfather, so he learned his true identity from Xing Zhicheng...
It's not too hard to guess.
"That guy who's always been so high and mighty, suddenly finding out that I'm of a higher status than him, does he feel a sense of loss? Does he start to feel jealous? Does he feel hurt? Ha... How childish."
Xia Che curled his lip in disdain.
Before Li Junyang matures, he still has a long way to go before becoming the true hypocrite he becomes in the later stages of the comic.
Compared to its complete form in the later stages of the manga, it's really not up to par now.
"I heard that the contestant who withdrew from the competition was very strong. If he hadn't withdrawn, the championship would probably be a foregone conclusion by now. I wonder what this guy is up to, running away at the last minute?"
Yu Shiyue chewed on a mint and handed one to Xia Che.
All her friends were from Weiyang Middle School, so Yu Shiyue was bound to side with Weiyang. She had no liking for that guy who ran away at the last minute.
If he really can't win, that's fine. It's a matter of skill, and no one will criticize him. After all, having the courage to stand on the stage and compete already puts him ahead of many others.
But what does it mean to desert your post in the face of battle?
If I had known it would be a race, I wouldn't have participated.
Isn't this just utterly disgusting...?
"Maybe."
Xia Che took the mint, popped it into his mouth, and smiled without answering Yu Shiyue's question.
Yu Shiyue is not the female lead in the comic, so Xia Che doesn't plan to tell her anything about Li Junyang.
I'll deal with this evil thing myself.
"Let's find a place to sit down first... Wait, I remember if Shen Yanxin is a contestant, she should get a complimentary front-row ticket or something, right?"
Xia Che suddenly remembered something, then turned around, grabbed Yu Shiyue's small hand, and squeezed through the dense crowd. "Come with me, we have seats."
"oh……"
Yu Shiyue chewed on the candy, her gaze lingering on the group of excited, flushed students around her, who exuded youthful energy.
Even though the venue was packed with people, and even though many people didn't have seats, there was no sign of dissatisfaction on their faces, only support for their school's athletes.
That's very rare...
This scene.
When Yu Shiyue was still in high school, she had never participated in such group activities. In her opinion, these kinds of things were meaningless.
Only after entering society, and occasionally thinking back, does Yu Shiyue feel regret for not having participated.
This time...
Unexpectedly, it made up for what I had been missing.
