Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

Whether it's using some clever tricks to affect the opponent's synthesis efficiency in a certain aspect, or directly eliminating the opponent from a major aspect.

This requires a less obvious action.

After all, this is a synthesis competition, and countless eyes are watching closely.

As a result, after experiencing the impact of this competition format, all the participants have made full preparations.

Whether it's an attempt to amplify one's dynamics or sound, or a desire to use something to enhance one's defensive capabilities, it's a matter of personal choice.

Or perhaps it's Xiao Xia, who is going all out to use her treasures to protect her body...

Xiao Xia had already made a firm decision in her mind: she would do whatever it took to get through tomorrow's ordeal.

Therefore, through the various treasures provided by her family, she was able to temporarily enhance her physical strength during the competition.

In the competition, it is forbidden to enhance one's own synthesis ability. However, in the efficiency category, the synthesis speed mainly depends on a person's control ability and proficiency.

Therefore, as long as it's not specifically about improving one's physical strength or similar abilities, it's permissible.

Of course, this is only what's out in the open. In secret, Xiao Xia also uses all sorts of strange elixirs and spiritual plants.

These are all methods that can enhance one's defensive capabilities in various aspects within a short period of time.

With her mental strength, physical strength, and spiritual power greatly enhanced, it's believed that Zhang Chaoqiang will not be able to easily succeed in attacking her.

With her included, almost everyone was convinced that during the one-on-one match between Zhang Chaoqiang and Xiao Xia, Zhang Chaoqiang would definitely take advantage of the separation effect in the alternate dimension to settle a personal score.

Let's teach Xiao Xia, who once tried to harm his parents, a lesson she won't forget.

In fact…

And indeed it is.

Even after they got back to their lodgings, Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong were still complaining about the competition's division mechanism and some of the secrets behind the initial letters in English.

Shen Qiangwei dusted off her hands: "How can we let Zhang Chaoqiang be matched with a girl? Wouldn't that be unfair? If she, a girl, loses to Zhang Chaoqiang..."

Wouldn't having an overwhelmingly strong reputation sound bad?

After hearing Shen Qiangwei's words, Zhang Chaoqiang analyzed them in his mind.

He believes that Shen Qiangwei's concerns about the consequences are correct and accurate. However, the reason why his reputation will not be so good is probably not simply because he defeated a female opponent.

Instead, in certain situations, they would directly injure their opponent, making her suffer a bit.

Because this girl is quite wicked. Since she wanted to cause trouble back then, she'll do the same thing tomorrow!

If you cause trouble, you'll make the other side pay a price!

Even today's lottery draw list has spread throughout the entire research institute and the Zhongzhou Science and Technology Museum. The staff and researchers there clearly know that Zhang Chaoqiang is definitely going to pull something this time…

This person previously harbored thoughts and actions that attempted to harm Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong.

Basically, Zhang Chaoqiang's motives were practically written all over his face.

In other words, these are no longer secret, underhanded schemes, but rather obvious and certain matters.

Therefore, they were all absolutely determined to watch tomorrow's game and wanted to witness firsthand how this situation would turn out.

Eating melons is the primary source of productivity.

In the current situation, figuring out how to properly and fairly punish Xiao Xia under the public eye is a matter with many key points to consider.

Because throughout the entire match, Zhang Chaoqiang absolutely cannot make any overly obvious attacking moves or responses.

Otherwise, they'll be eliminated by committing a foul.

The fact that the synthetic space is separated from reality means that although Zhang Chaoqiang cannot make these actions obviously, as long as he hides them well enough, they will not be easily detected.

Furthermore, this competition format was originally intended to add some fun to the event; a dull and purely synthetic competition wouldn't be very interesting.

The format of the competition needs to be changed appropriately to make the live competition more interesting and more worth looking forward to and watching.

Soon, that very night, without much special preparation, Zhang Chaoqiang bathed in the light of the Xuan tree branches for an entire night.

Despite Xiao Xia being prepared while Zhang Chaoqiang was unprepared, the latter remained confident that he could take care of Xiao Xia without anyone noticing.

And there are obviously not many tricks to keeping dynamics that outsiders can detect...

[Spread], [Dazzling], [Theft]...

This special ability, plus two more mechanism abilities...

It's absolutely possible to get the other party into a mess without them even realizing it.

What does it mean to treat someone in the same way they treat you? Zhang Chaoqiang can no longer wait for any so-called martial arts competition, or for his opponent to accept his challenge.

The only chance to punish Xiao Xia for her previous attempt to harm Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei is now.

He also knew that this was clearly a way out that Resher was giving him.

Lei She, Xu Shanji's former student, also hoped that he could do something for Zhang Chaoqiang or Xu Shanji when he saw how highly Xu Shanji regarded Zhang Chaoqiang.

This world is full of interpersonal relationships and vested interests.

If Zhang Chaoqiang used his blinding power or other abilities on Xiao Xia or Gao Guojun in their daily lives...

If this results in the other party being injured or suffering irreversible damage, they will definitely blame themselves immediately.

After all, if you take action before others do, even if it's flawless, you'll still be subject to the supervision and investigation of the Extraordinary Administration Bureau.

Furthermore, as this is the first Synthesis Competition in the Central Kingdom, the Extraordinary Administration attaches great importance to the state of the Zhongzhou Science and Technology Museum during this period.

That's why Zhang Chaoqiang didn't give the two of them a good beating from the outside world.

But now that he had the opportunity, he no longer even hid his thoughts.

In front of all the contestants standing on the field and the dense crowd of spectators behind them, in this noisy environment, he asked that question.

He turned directly to Xiao Xia in front of him and said, "Are you prepared... are you prepared to be seriously injured?"

An uproar erupted; the entire audience erupted in uproar…

The blatant provocation and warning immediately startled Xiao Xia, causing her to stumble...

He almost collapsed to the ground, and the audience members who heard this all showed expressions of disbelief.

What happened? What Zhang Chaoqiang just said…

So he threatened others with such a pretty face?

Is this really something a genius would do?

Immediately, both Xiao Xia, who had already taken numerous elixirs that enhanced several aspects of her body, and her family stood up and lodged a serious protest and demanded that the host of the competition, Lei She, take appropriate action.

"Director Lei, Zhang Chaoqiang's threats are far too blatant. The rules clearly state that it is not allowed to harm opponents during the competition."

Such egregious threats and warnings warrant my demand that Zhang Chaoqiang be…

"Cough cough..." Lei She's two coughs were enough to shake the air in the room, startling most of the people present and interrupting Xiao Xia's family elders' accusations against Zhang Chaoqiang.

Fortunately, under Lao Chen's protection, Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong were not frightened or even harmed by Lei She's voice.

Lei She's accusations against Xiao Xia's family showed absolutely no "bias."

"You're right. According to the rules and regulations of the competition, it is indeed not allowed for opponents to intentionally harm each other on the field or during the competition."

But you seem to have forgotten that the competition hasn't officially started yet. This is at most just a process of two contestants exchanging harsh words on the field.

Isn't this what the contestants have always done in previous martial arts competitions?

The competition hasn't even started yet, so how can there be any talk of violating the rules?

They exchanged harsh words.

Xiao Xia's family was completely dumbfounded...

If they heard correctly, it seemed that only Zhang Chaoqiang had intimidated and threatened Xiao Xia, while Xiao Xia had never uttered a single harsh word to him…

Following this, it was unclear whether Lei She's words were intended for Zhang Chaoqiang or for Xiao Xia's family:

"According to the competition rules, it is not allowed to harm the opponent during the competition. If we see any contestant in the synthetic space engaging in extremely aggressive behavior, they will be directly disqualified for violating the rules!"

Lei She emphasized the words "aggressive actions and behaviors" very heavily.

Chapter 251 Take action

Obvious aggressive behavior.

This is clearly a direct challenge to Zhang Chaoqiang's aggressive behavior towards Xiao Xia. Isn't it all too obvious?

Lei She's protective words, coupled with Zhang Chaoqiang's harsh words to Xiao Xia before the match, clearly pose an open threat to the opponent.

Given the current situation, the subsequent fermentation process on-site is becoming increasingly promising.

The three families present—the Wu family, the Lei family, and the admissions offices of the three universities—along with a large audience, all acted as onlookers.

Watching the drama unfold on the spot has become their primary source of motivation.

Amidst the anticipation of the entire audience and with the encouragement of Lei She, the thirty-two players participating in this one-on-one competition are gradually taking their places as the competition begins…

They enter their respective synthesis spaces to compete.

This match, without a doubt, clearly gave Zhang Chaoqiang an opportunity to settle personal scores.

Of course, others wouldn't bring this up; they'd rather it be none of their business.

Xiao Xia, the person involved, was even more isolated and helpless. After everyone else had entered the synthetic space, she was still standing there, clutching the corner of her clothes tightly with both hands.

Still frozen in place, gritting his teeth, he thought to himself, "Why don't I just forfeit this match?"

However, faced with the pressure from her own family, Xiao Xia had no choice but to bite the bullet and enter the synthetic space to confront it.

Xiao Xia was threatened by Zhang Chaoqiang in front of her, and her family had high expectations for her behind her back.

She knew that being defeated by Zhang Chaoqiang on the field, or even getting injured, was far better than forfeiting.

What kind of person would abstain from voting?

That's cowardly; in martial arts, to forfeit before the match even begins. This is completely different from directly refusing a challenge from a martial artist.

The first option is to give up halfway. Giving up on the field will become a stain on one's reputation, especially in a public national competition like this, where it will make one a laughing stock.

Therefore, in the few seconds that she hesitated, different possibilities had actually evolved in Xiao Xia's mind.

Even with the help of various elixirs, I probably can't completely avoid injury in the competition. Who knows what kind of "schemes and tricks" Zhang Chaoqiang might pull?
