Free Web NovelChapter 1003: Chapter 389: Eyes Longing for a Glimpse
"Oh my god, am I seeing this right? A girl wants to step into the life-and-death arena?"
"Damn! And she’s an Asian girl. Why is she so fair-skinned? Aren’t Asians supposed to have yellow skin?"
"I feel like I could reach her stomach with a single punch!"
"Bro, why would she want to challenge the arena? She definitely doesn’t have a boyfriend. If I were her boyfriend, I wouldn’t let such a delicate beauty challenge the arena."
"Yeah, same here. I’d just want to cherish her, definitely wouldn’t let her rashly step into the ring. That’d be such a waste."
"Is there a way to stop her from going up there? If she needs money, I think I could just buy her off."
"Oh, then you could try talking to her."
"..."
These people chatted openly, with no reservations.
Even though they were speaking in English, someone like Su Yan, who has received higher education since childhood, would definitely understand it.
She heard nearly every word those vulgar men said.
Her ears were filled with these unpleasant and trashy words.
Leng Bing looked at her with concern, "Are you okay?"
"Indeed, it’s more open abroad than back home. It’s something we can’t change; after all, they can say whatever they want."
Su Yan shook her head, "It’s okay, Captain. I’m used to it. I went to high school abroad."
"Oh, I see."
Leng Bing actually knew Su Yan’s full background, but he felt there was no need to emphasize that he knew she went to high school abroad.
Under Leng Bing’s guidance, Su Yan approached the registration desk to register her name.
Leng Bing had never fought in the underground arena before.
However, when he was undercover in the Wu Country, within the Simoski Organization, which is the Mafia Organization, he was already aware of such underground arenas.
That period of life gave him a fairly good understanding of these gray industries.
Although he wasn’t entirely familiar or at ease in this arena, getting Su Yan registered was still relatively easy for him.
However, the registrar kept confirming with him multiple times that it was Su Yan who was going up, not Leng Bing.
Leng Bing was getting a bit annoyed by the repeated questions. Just as he was about to lose his temper, the process was completed, and he was informed that Su Yan could prepare to enter the ring.
The irritation inside Leng Bing was abruptly held back.
His expression became quite gloomy.
He cast a long, hard look at the registrar before leading Su Yan to the waiting area.
In the waiting area, Leng Bing noticed there were two more people ahead in line.
Once those two finished, it would be Su Yan’s turn.
Leng Bing took a deep breath and, ignoring the looks they received from the other two in the waiting area, began advising Su Yan on what to be aware of when fighting.
"In terms of power, they’re much stronger than you."
"You mustn’t confront them head-on. That would be very disadvantageous to you. Once you’re in there, use your agility to restrain them. That’s the most important thing, and your only way to win."
"Regarding your Eight Step Fist, you’ve always used combo moves in the past, but in this kind of arena, you can’t do that. Combo moves have too many flaws for those who practice martial arts. They’ll easily find an opening and catch you off guard."
"Their bodies might withstand three to five of your attacks, but if you take a hit, you probably won’t be able to handle it. You need to be really cautious."
Leng Bing rambled on and on.
Su Yan listened in silence.
Seeing Leng Bing continue endlessly, Su Yan interrupted him, "Captain, don’t focus all your energy on me. You should go and help them build some mental resilience."
"I know, our team can only send one person each night to the ring, or we’d end up fighting each other. The rule is only one winner can survive the night and take all the prize money."
"But even if they don’t have to fight tonight, they will still have to fight tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after that. There’s no way to avoid it."
"Director just made things pretty clear; are we really going to be shameless?"
"Captain, sometimes, we need to earn respect ourselves. No matter how strong Director is, or how much they brag outside about how great Director is, if we’re not great, it doesn’t matter."
"The same goes for Team One’s members; no matter how strong they are, what does it have to do with us in Team Two?"
"If we don’t establish our own reputation, we’re just the laughingstock!"
"..."
This was the first time Su Yan had said so much in front of Leng Bing.
Faced with Su Yan’s sudden outburst, Leng Bing was visibly stunned, not expecting such a situation.
For a brief moment, Leng Bing was bewildered, but soon his eyes cleared up.
He understood that Su Yan was right.
