Ji Yueyao gritted her teeth as she looked at Wei Kang, who was covered in blood, while the doctor beside her was quickly performing first aid.
What kind of battle could cause someone to emerge covered in blood?!
Wei Kang lay there lifelessly, his body a bloody mess, seemingly having stopped breathing.
Ji Yueyao was kicked out of the emergency room and sat weakly in a chair. A nurse was carefully bandaging the wound on her head.
Due to blood loss, Ji Yueyao was somewhat disoriented and her legs were extremely weak. In addition, the injuries she had sustained earlier caused her pain in every part of her body.
She lost so little blood and she's like this, but Wei Kang is covered in blood...
"It's bandaged up." The nurse looked at her bandaged wound with satisfaction, said this to Ji Yueyao in a low voice, and then turned and left, leaving Ji Yueyao alone sitting in the empty corridor in a daze.
How could he possibly lose? She knew Wei Kang's strength, and with his superhuman physique, how could he possibly lose?
Sima Yuan watched Ji Yueyao from the side, opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.
"Ji Yueyao, how is Wei Kang?" Xu Lingnan strode over. He also looked disheveled, but much better than her; at least he didn't appear to be injured.
"When I saw him, he was covered in blood..." Ji Yueyao stood up and hugged her head in great distress. "We all know his strength, so why did he lose?"
“You should know Sima Yuan.” Xu Lingnan glanced worriedly at the emergency room, patted Ji Yueyao on the shoulder, and then looked at Sima Yuan. “You’ve been watching the whole thing, so you should know how Wei Kang lost, right?”
Sima Yuan nodded, a flash of resentment and disdain in his eyes. "It's all because of that Yan Yu's trickery!"
"Cheating?" Ji Yueyao and Xu Lingnan exchanged a glance, then looked at Sima Yuan with some surprise.
"That guy is also a fire-type ability user. Originally, their strengths were evenly matched, and Wei Kang even seemed to have a slight edge, but that guy took advantage of a loophole in the competition rules!" Sima Yuan clenched his fists. He wasn't familiar with Wei Kang, but at least they were partners in the same camp. "That guy actually used explosives!"
"Explosives?!" Ji Yueyao was stunned. That's right, the competition rules only said that firearms were not allowed, but they did not say that explosives or other weapons were not allowed. They really took advantage of the loophole in the competition. No wonder Wei Kang came out covered in blood.
Yan Yu from the military region! Ji Yueyao gritted her teeth fiercely, as if she wanted to bite Yan Yu's neck off. If Wei Kang really... She covered her eyes sadly, her eyes burning with pain.
"Where is the teacher?" Ji Yueyao looked around but couldn't find Ji Tiehan. Where had he gone at a time like this?
"He went to get the schedule for the next match." Sima Yuan scratched his head, looking somewhat helpless.
"How can we compete in this condition?" Ji Yueyao stared wide-eyed in disbelief, her legs wobbling as she slid to the side.
"Ji Yueyao, haven't I already said that the competition comes first?" Ji Tiehan's cold, seemingly emotionless voice came from behind. Ji Yueyao looked up, her heart already burning with anger.
"Teacher, but Wei Kang is already in this state! How can we possibly be in the mood for anything..."
"It's Wei Kang who's injured, not you." Ji Tiehan glanced at Ji Yueyao indifferently, his cold tone sending a chill down her spine. "Sima Yuan will be competing soon, along with Ji Yueyao and Xu Lingnan. You'll each face one of the two winners from the other teams. The preliminary matchups are Ji Yueyao against Wang Jun from the military region, and Xu Lingnan against..."
"Teacher, is the competition all you care about? Does it matter what happens to us?" Ji Yueyao looked at the indifferent Ji Tiehan, and a feeling of betrayal and hatred welled up in her heart.
Ji Tiehan quietly turned his head, his sharp gaze fixed on Ji Yueyao as if he were looking at a complete idiot. "It's not that I only care about the competition; what the higher-ups want is your results. What are you doing here if you can't produce results? Don't you understand, Ji Yueyao? Your only use right now is in the competition, and then to win. It's that simple."
Ji Yueyao stared blankly at Ji Tiehan, as if she didn't recognize him anymore. So that's how it is? Her value is only in this competition?
That's right. All their efforts and all their pain seem insignificant to those above them. They only care about their own face, while those below can only toil away like ants, just for that insignificant face above.
"We're still injured, do we really have to compete like this?" Xu Lingnan was naturally uncomfortable, but he didn't show it.
Ji Tiehan glanced at Xu Lingnan and said, "That's the strange thing about this competition. It's all about luck. Because if you get injured, others will also get injured. If you're lucky, you might just encounter someone who faints and win."
Xu Lingnan nodded, took the battle schedule, and then pulled Ji Yueyao and Sima Yuan together to prepare. He knew clearly in his heart that they were not qualified to go against Ji Tiehan.
Ji Tiehan watched the figures of the group walk away, then sat down wearily and let out a long sigh. His gaze towards the emergency room was complicated.
What can he do? The orders from above are absolute.
Ji Yueyao didn't know how she felt when she stood on the field. For a moment, she even had a vicious thought: why not just lose? In her dazed state, she even cheered for this idea. But she still won.
"Your opponent couldn't fight at all due to excessive blood loss. Ji Yueyao, you're really lucky." Sima Yuan looked at Ji Yueyao with some envy. In this competition, Ji Yueyao was the only one from their Xiyu base to achieve the final victory. Xu Lingnan didn't seem to be seriously injured, but he had actually suffered a severe blow to the head and finally had to leave the field due to exhaustion. As for himself... Sima Yuan sighed. He lost the first match directly. Was the opponent really someone from the Donglin base's upper echelons? He was simply annihilated. He should have been more vigilant when he heard that the opponent's surname was Lin.
