Li Wei felt despondent after learning the odds.
Although, no matter how little he will earn, money is money. He decided to let Zhang Feng place the bet, then transferred the remaining funds to the other.
At the same time, the cheers from the audience outside grew louder. There was only half an hour left before the semi-finals began.
…
After yesterday's battle, everyone knew of Li Wei's vitality. When he went on arena again, many of the audience members were like old fans, cheering him on.
"Good luck, Li Wei! Release all 12 points of your vitality!"
"I didn't expect you to still have some vitality that you haven't used! You're too cunning!"
"You're so handsome! I like you!"
"I've already bought the tickets to the finals! Just to see you! Don't let us down!"
"..."
The louder they cheered, the more bummed-out Li Wei became.
Although it was good that he had entered the semi-finals, it seemed everyone knew that his vitality was above 12 points. This did not sit well with him.
The lovely host, carrying a microphone, appeared in the center of the arena and started the introduction. "Welcome to the semi-finals of Fist of Hope! Once again, thank you for your support! We'll be deciding the contestants who will enter the finals today!
The two contenders in this battle are Li Wei, the dark horse from Fei He High School! Then there is Dongyun First School's Guo Xiaolong!"
The audience erupted in applause after the players were introduced.
"Guo Xiaolong? I've heard of him! I heard he's a good boxer! He is Dongyun City's top high school student!"
"What's the use! His vitality is only around 9.1! How could he be Li Wei's opponent?"
"Ah? Li Wei will win for sure? Luckily, I didn't bet on Guo Xiaolong!"
"That's for sure! A sure-win match! Only an idiot would bet on Li Wei!"
"..."
After confirming with the judge, the host immediately announced, "Now, let's invite the contestants to warm up!"
Accompanied by the audience's anticipation and cheers, Li Wei walked onto the arena. He looked at Guo Xiaolong, standing opposite him, and found that the other boy was nothing extraordinary.
He started to warm up without much care. The crowd was a little perplexed by Li Wei's behavior.
In their minds, even though Li Wei's vitality outranked the others, Guo Xiaolong was not a good-for-nothing opponent. He also had outstanding strength. If he had underestimated his opponent this way, Li Wei might lose.
"D*mn, Li Wei didn't even take off his jacket, and he's already warming up? Aren't you looking down on him too much?"
"Although, Guo Xiaolong's strength is indeed a little weaker. I don't think there's any suspense."
"That's what happens if Li Wei's strength far exceeds a high schooler. Of course, he's not showing much interest!"
"Hahaha! Just look at how angry Guo Xiaolong is! I think this is going to be a fun show to watch!"
Guo Xiaolong was warming up seriously and noticed that Li Wei did not seem to care about him. As the top high school student in Dongyun City, his self-respect would not allow him to be looked down upon by his opponent.
He shouted angrily in Li Wei's direction, "Little brat! You will pay for your arrogance!" Li Wei was in a terrible mood, so he did not want to pay attention to the other party.
All he wanted to do was get the game over with, so he could return to the farm and tend to his flock of chickens and ducks. The warm-up period was finally over after ten minutes.
Ring!
With the sound of the bell, the players on both sides moved to the center. Guo Xiaolong was paying no attention to the referee's words. He slammed his fists together and warned Li Wei fiercely, "Little brat! Don't look down on others! I'll let you have a taste of my fist!"
Li Wei was downright uninterested in him. He yawned as he picked his ear with his pinky finger. The crowd burst into laughter.
"Both sides are ready! The match has officially begun!"
After the referee's voice fell, Guo Xiaolong took the initiative to distance themselves. He raised his fists high and quickly adjusted his pace with his legs, putting on the posture that a boxer should have.
His body began to surge with vitality. This invisible force could be felt by the audience closest to it.
"What a strong vitality! It seems that Guo Xiaolong is angry!"
"Just now, he seemed to be trash-talking with Li Wei! He should do his best!"
"At least he's much stronger than Xiao Ming in the last match!"
"..."
Nine points of vitality were already outstanding among high school students. With Guo Xiaolong's strength, he would have had no problem progressing to the final. Of course, assuming he did not meet Li Wei.
Because as long as his vitality did not exceed 11 points, any opponent would be meaningless to Li Wei. No matter how angry Guo Xiaolong was, his vitality value was only 9.1.
Li Wei's strongest vitality still suppressed him by 30%. Seeing as his opponent was being so serious, Li Wei cracked his neck, and his eyes became cold.
"Very good. I'll use you as a practice before the finals."
His vitality bonded to his legs, and he charged at the Guo Xiaolong with thunderous momentum!
