The next day, Ji Yueyao naturally found nothing, but at this point she couldn't care less about feeling disappointed.
"Wei Kang, how are your preparations going?" Ji Yueyao looked at the huge arena in front of her, feeling a little apprehensive.
"Feeling pretty good." Wei Kang patted Ji Yueyao on the shoulder. "Hey, you absolutely have to win. If all four of us win, we can probably be directly assigned to the first team of the search department, which is very important to me."
"Is it that important?" Ji Yueyao glanced at Wei Kang. "Then you have to win too."
"Of course I will win." Wei Kang appeared calm and confident. "But you are a great worry to me. Look at your skinny arms and legs."
"..." Ji Yueyao rolled her eyes at Wei Kang.
Ji Tiehan walked over at this moment, glanced at the group, and asked in a deep voice, "Is everything ready?"
Everyone was naturally full of confidence. Wei Kang clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and nodded. It was clear that he valued this competition very much.
Ji Tiehan looked at the group with satisfaction and took out a battle list from behind him. "These are your opponents. Simply put, there are a total of twenty participants from the five major forces. All of them will fight in pairs. The ten winners will have a second battle, and the final five winners will be the victors of this duel. So, there is still a chance for all four of you to win."
Handing the match schedule to Wei Kang, who was standing at the front, Ji Tiehan continued, "I've already looked at the match schedule. Wei Kang, you will face Yan Yu from the Military Region; Ji Yueyao, you will face Guang Hongyu from the Beihuang Base; Sima Yuan, you will face Lin Yu from the Donglin Base; and Xu Lingnan will face Zhan Hualu from the Nanxiao Base. Not only me, but our Chief Yu from the Xiyu Base also hopes that you will all win. He has high hopes for you this time, and I hope you will not disappoint him."
"We understand." Everyone nodded, then carefully examined the battle schedule in their hands.
Ji Yueyao, Wei Kang, and Xu Lingnan fought at the same time, in the North, West, and South districts respectively, while Sima Yuan fought in the North district at a different time.
Looking at the battle schedule, Ji Yueyao suddenly frowned and asked, "Teacher, we are not superhumans. What if we encounter superhumans?"
Ji Tiehan shook his head. "This situation will not occur. Superhumans will be arranged to fight against other superhumans, not against ordinary people."
That's good. Ji Yueyao was relieved. Otherwise, what if she encountered someone like Wei Kang who used fire and burned her to a crisp? Her hair was still curly.
"The competition is about to begin. Ji Yueyao, Wei Kang, and Xu Lingnan, the three of you, get ready." Ji Tiehan glanced at the clock on the battlefield outside and said.
Upon hearing this, Wei Kang bowed to Ji Tiehan and walked into the waiting room with Ji Yueyao.
"Ji Yueyao." Wei Kang suddenly stopped and turned to look at Ji Yueyao, his expression very serious.
Ji Yueyao was stunned, clearly not having reacted yet, after all, this guy had called her name very few times.
"We absolutely cannot lose, none of us can lose." Wei Kang looked directly into Ji Yueyao's eyes, his usually clear voice now low and somewhat frightening.
"Do you look down on me that much? You've said that countless times." Ji Yueyao looked up and stared directly at Wei Kang. "Wei Kang, can you tell me why you're so determined to become a member of the first team in the search department?"
Wei Kang stared at Ji Yueyao in silence for a moment before taking a step back and sitting in the chair behind him. Just then, Xu Lingnan walked in, glanced at Ji Yueyao and Wei Kang, and felt that the atmosphere between them was a bit strange. Had the two of them quarreled again?
“You know, my father used to be the captain of the first squad in the search department. But after he was injured, my mother… that damned woman ran off with someone! She abandoned me, abandoned my father. In the end, all I found was a letter she left me. It didn’t say an apology, but rather that she didn’t need a useless son like me!” Wei Kang sat on the sofa, gritting his teeth and clutching his head tightly. His suppressed voice was filled with heart-wrenching pain. “She’s my mother, my mother!”
Ji Yueyao had initially expected this, but hearing Wei Kang say it still caused a pang of pain in her heart. She walked over, put her arms around Wei Kang's neck, and gently hugged him. "So that's why you wanted to become a member of the search department?"
"I want to find her and prove to her that I'm not a useless piece of trash!" Wei Kang reached out and hugged the girl in front of him, saying in a low voice, "Only the first team of the search department has enough strength to let me find her, that's the only way."
Xu Lingnan, meanwhile, thoughtfully stroked his chin. This matter seemed to have caused quite a stir back then, but no one expected that the protagonist would be Wei Kang. His mother had indeed run away with an unknown person, and to this day they still couldn't find out who that person was.
She abandoned her husband and children and ran off with someone else just because her husband became disabled. What a heartless and ungrateful woman!
“We will win.” Ji Yueyao patted Wei Kang on the back, her eyes filled with unwavering determination. Even if it was for her best rival in the apocalypse, she would definitely win this match!
When Ji Yueyao stood on the field, she tightly gripped a dagger in her hand, the only weapon she was relatively familiar with practicing in the training area.
Countless eyes were fixed on her. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
Mu Yan sat high on the stands, took a sip of water, and stared intently at Ji Yueyao. This woman's growth rate was not bad. She had seemed so frail and uninteresting back then. Hmm? Uninteresting? Actually, her silly appearance back then did pique his interest a little, otherwise he wouldn't have saved her.
She should have known he wouldn't save her, yet she still foolishly followed the car. Wasn't that stupid?
Now, this woman seems a little... stronger.
The opponent soon came up as well. Ji Yueyao focused her attention and found that the opponent did not have any exaggerated muscles, but every move he made had a special sense of rhythm, accompanied by an uncomfortable sense of oppression.
As expected, he was not on the same level as those people in their training area. Ji Yueyao touched the scar on his neck and mustered all his energy.
"Hello, I'm Guang Hongyu from the Beihuang Base." As Guang Hongyu approached, he carefully sized up Ji Yueyao. When he realized that she looked like a frail little girl, he lowered his guard. "I heard before I came that there would be a woman among the contestants for this competition. I didn't expect to run into her. Hey, little girl, you'd better surrender soon. Although I do hit women, it's not very satisfying to watch a snot-nosed little girl die under my fists."
Ji Yueyao gritted her teeth secretly. She had long understood that this was an extremely unfair world for women. Because women had no power in this world, they were despised. And she... did not want to be reduced to the same status as those women.
"Hello, I am Ji Yueyao from the Xiyu Base." She crossed her arms, her imposing manner undiminished. "Actually, I think it would be a great thing to be able to step on your opponent's head. I will try my best to take you down with me."
