Chapter 264 - Jackpot (2/2)

Many spectators have already purchased the contestant guidebook of this year’s martial arts tournament from the staff. Little Dragon King-Yang Lie’s name was impressively in the first place. He was also one of the outstanding contestants of the first group to win this tournament.

Initially, the audience was worried that the opener would be too mediocre, and not produce as much excitement. But with Little Dragon King – Yang Lie taking part in it, the uproar in the stadium of thirty thousand spectators changed drastically.

The second recruit to draw wasn’t an American recruit but rather, had walked out from the file of European recruits.

For the sake of fairness in the draw, the method of drawing lots also followed a rotation system, in which the recruit of every continent was given the chance to draw once.

Today, Caesar didn’t have his long golden hair hanging loose. He had it tied high behind his head, revealing his face, which was like the artwork of a sculptor.

His handsome face was full of masculine charms. Those sapphire-like eyes of his were full of heroism that was no less inferior to Little Dragon King – Yang Lie’s, who had just drawn lots.

Number forty-five, the glittering glass ball became the focus of the camera once more. Its projection slowly rotating on the projection screen.

Over thirty thousand spectators exclaimed in unison. To their surprise, Emperor – Caesar was in the lower group. Everyone’s wish to see the wonderful showdown between him and Little Dragon King – Yang Lie could only be possible if both of them entered the finals.

Having been in third place in the last tournament, East Asia also had to send someone to draw the lots in accordance with the ranking. Qin Fen was pushed to the front, and as such, he had to step forward to draw the lots.

Looking at the black box, Qin Fen put his hand in it.

Number thirty-two.

Looking at the number, a light smile appeared on Qin Fen’s face. The number at the end of the upper group had been drawn. This draw was very interesting.

Next, Mourad Tschick stepped out from the file of West Asia. Until he stood before the lottery box, his eyes hardly left Qin Fen’s figure. He put his palm together before closing his eyes and mumbled something as if he was praying.

While others were believing that he was praying not to draw number two or number forty-six, only those close to him could hear him mumbling a number continuously, number thirty-one!

Number sixty-three!

Upon seeing this number, Mourad Tschick’s face turned slightly ashen. This number meant that he was allocated to the lower group; he was not in the same group as Qin Fen. If he wished to meet him, then there was only one way, and that was to get to the finals!

The drawing continued. And as each recruit mentioned in the guidebook appeared on the stage, the spectators would exclaim in surprise.

Very soon, the numbers of all sixty-four people had been drawn.

“Old Qin, from today on, I’ve decided to believe in God.” Xue Tian happily drew a cross on his chest. “Just before I drew lots, I kept on praying to not assign me in your group. As a result, I was really assigned to the lower group.”

Qin Fen felt the sympathetic gazes of almost every recruit around him focused on Kyokushin Genichi who was standing by his side. Even the East Asian recruits were looking at Kyokushin Genichi with a sympathetic look.

There was really no method to quantize the thing called luck.

Number two, the number for the opening match.

Before the drawing had yet to start, many recruits had hoped to get this number.

The opening match was the first match of the recruit martial arts tournament.

Even if the contestant was unable to win the title of the Recruit King of Martial Combat in the end, he or she would be remembered by many people just because of this special match.

However, the moment Little Dragon King – Yang Lie drew number one, almost all of the participating recruits hoped that they would not draw number two.

With Little Dragon King – Yang Lie having drawn number one, most of the recruits knew that when they encounter the Little Dragon King – Yang Lie as an opponent, he or she could only become the stepping stone for the other side in the opening match.

In this world, no one liked to be a stepping stone for the others.

Only, Kyokushin Genichi’s luck had drawn what should be called as the jackpot.

Qin Fen was very clear of Kyokushin Genichi’s strength. He might not have fought with Little Dragon King – Yang Lie, but he still knew that the chances of Kyokushin Genichi winning against Yang Lie were almost zero.

Qin Fen lightly heaved a sigh. Raising his hand, he patted Kyokushin Genichi’s shoulder in comfort. “Fight well! The result is not important, the most important is the process.”

Kyokushin Genichi stared blankly at Qin Fen. His confused and depressed eyes gradually regained their brilliance as he mumbled to himself, “Most important is the process, most important is the process.”

“Gen.” Xue Tian put his hand on Kyokushin Genichi’s shoulder. “Let me tell you, you should think like this. Little Dragon King is a dick! It’s much better to meet him than to meet Old Qin!”

Suddenly, Kyokushin Genichi’s eyes shone even more brightly. Yes! Encountering Little Dragon King is better than to encounter Qin Fen!

Meanwhile, the other recruits began to retreat to their seats, ready to watch the next opening match.

Kyokushin Genichi looked at Qin Fen. “Master, do you have any other advice for me?”

“This…” Qin Fen pondered a little before he smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter who the opponent is. The important thing is to fight the battle like you want, got it?!”

“Old Qin, let’s leave.” Xue Tian patted on Qin Fen’s shoulder as he spoke in a low voice, “Conventionally, the second match after the opener would be the match between number thirty-two and thirty-one. I reckon that Kyokushin Genichi will not be able to hold on for too long. You better adjust your state and prepare for the match.”
