After the first opposing speaker finished, it was the turn of the second opposing speaker, Zhuang Liu. While listening to his teammate rebut Tan Rou, he wished he could seal his teammate's mouth right then and there to prevent him from speaking anymore.
"The second speaker for the opposition?" the teacher called Zhuang Liu again, "If you don't have any points to rebut, you may choose to skip and let the third speaker for the opposition respond."
Since the teacher mentioned skipping was an option, Zhuang Liu didn't insist anymore. Every minute and second he sat there was torture. If it hadn't been impossible to leave, he would have jumped to Tan Rou's side of the debate bench.
After the opposition had stated their viewpoint, it was the proposition's turn again to make a rebuttal based on the opposition's points. If the opposition failed to respond and couldn't find the most suitable evidence, they would lose.
