In middle age, one's comprehension becomes extraordinary.

Chapter 220 The Praise of Those Around Us

Looking at the overall rules, the final rating result still depends on the discussion among the judges.

Ultimately, whether or not a rating can be successfully obtained depends on the martial artist themselves.

One possibility is that your teammates are skilled enough.

Each time, before they could even make a move, their teammates would defeat the opponent.

In this situation, the winning team will have an internal match.

Overall, winning is definitely better than losing.

If you win, the organizers will proactively arrange opportunities for you to compete against each other.

The team consists of six people, and the specific team assignments will be announced tonight.

Then, Li Yuan scanned the QR code and joined the group for promotion application.

This temporary group will be used to post some important information.

For example, the team roster will be sent out to this group tonight.

We found a place to have dinner.

Restaurants across different places are now largely the same.

There isn't much difference in the restaurants outside of the city.

You probably have to be further away to feel the difference in diet.

At least for now, Li Yuan feels that the tastes in Meigang and Lingshan are similar.

After finishing my meal and settling into my hotel, an important message popped up in the group chat.

The team composition for tomorrow has been finalized.

Apart from those very famous people, everyone else should be randomly assigned.

Teams certainly have varying levels of strength.

This grouping is definitely not fair.

If you're assigned to weak teammates, to advance to the next round, you either need to be exceptionally talented and turn the tide.

Either don't overthink it, just show your full strength.

In the contestant group, everyone changed their names.

Soon, Li Yuan saw that someone had invited him to join the group.

One of the more proactive teammates created a small team group chat.

Half an hour later, all six members of the team joined the group chat.

The person who created the group is named Peng Yueze. Judging from his posts in the group, he is quite proactive.

He seems to be an impatient person; upon seeing the list, he immediately created a group chat to connect everyone.

The other five, including Li Yuan, were much more composed.

I just gave a brief self-introduction in the group.

After the self-introduction, Peng Yueze suddenly pressed one of them for a question.

"Are you Professor Xu Chi? Professor Xu Chi from Nanshan Martial Arts Engineering University?"

Peng Yueze was typing in the group chat.

But people could feel the admiration he exuded from his typing.

After a moment, Mr. Xu Chi replied with a simple "Mm".

He seemed completely unconcerned.

"Mr. Xu Chi, may I add you as a friend?"

I really admire you. The footwork you demonstrated before was very inspiring to me.

"Can."

After the two finished speaking in the group chat, they did not say anything more.

Although I don't know Xu Chi, judging from Peng Yueze's performance, I can tell that this teammate is extraordinary.

Having a strong teammate to back you up is extremely advantageous in this competition format.

If you don't perform well in the first round, you'll have a second chance.

All the martial artists who participated in the promotion exam were from the education sector.

This Mr. Xu Chi is clearly a university professor.

Compared to a middle school teacher like Li Yuan, even if he holds the position of vice principal, he is still considered inferior in their eyes.

After all, it is a higher-level university.

Li Yuan didn't think much of it; it was just a competition anyway.

We've come together as teammates by fate; there's no need to overthink or research anything else.

After a night's rest, Li Yuan got up early.

We set off for the competition venue.

The competition took place at the training ground of a martial arts high school in Meigang City.

The training ground is a bit old, but it's big enough.

It's definitely enough for today's promotion application.

Today is Friday, and the students should have had an early day off.

The senior students have finished their exams, and the freshmen and sophomores will be on summer vacation in a few days.

Taking a day off temporarily wouldn't be a problem.

The other participants also arrived quite early.

Everyone searched for a rest area nearby. Li Yuan's team was number seventeen.

Just find the corresponding rest area based on its number.

At 7:30, all six people arrived.

The teammates in the group saw the real person at that moment.

Peng Yueze is relatively young, a middle school teacher in his twenties, and has probably been working for less than two years.

His ability to participate in this promotion application suggests he likely has a strong foundation at his own school.

Peng Yueze was standing half a step behind Xu Chi at this moment.

This means following Xu Chi.

Just like a younger brother to his boss, standing behind him, ready to be ordered around.

The group members introduced themselves, matching the person in the group chat with their real-life counterpart.

At 8:30, today's competition officially began.

We have one hour left, and we need to discuss our strategy.

Let's discuss it together and see if we can come up with some solutions.

Although this competition depends more on the individual.

However, by using some effective strategies, we might be able to advance to more rounds.

There are rewards for winning a few more times.

Overall, this strategy is about how to arrange the personnel to play.

In other words, it's about arranging them in order.

"Let's choose a captain. If everyone has an opinion after the competition starts, it will be chaotic."

There always needs to be someone to make the final decision.

Peng Yueze suggested that a team leader be chosen.

That's quite normal; looking at other teams around, they're also preparing to choose a team leader.

"I propose that Teacher Xu Chi serve as the team leader. Teacher Xu Chi has excellent martial arts skills and a deep understanding of techniques and skills."

This time, I came here aiming for a second-class rating.

Anyway, I hope that Teacher Xu Chi will be the captain and lead us.

Whether the team can win, and whether they can get more chances, ultimately depends on Coach Xu Chi's performance.

Peng Yueze held Xu Chi in high esteem.

The admiration in their words was impossible to hide.

"Leading a team is too tiring. I just want to participate in a simple competition." Xu Chi's face showed a hint of helplessness.

It seems like everything is piled on his shoulders.

There's a sense of exhaustion from the saying "the capable do more work."

Upon hearing this, two more people chimed in, praising Xu Chi to the skies.

"Teacher Xu Chi, please take us on one more adventure."

This rating opportunity is hard to come by. It's a rare chance to get one, and you're lucky to be assigned to the same team as me.

"If you become the captain, our results will definitely be better."

While the three of them were praising Xu Chi, Li Yuan noticed there was another person beside him.

He rolled his eyes at such boastful words.

It seems that they really dislike this kind of flattery.

Xu Chi, who was standing nearby, naturally noticed his reactions.

Li Yuan remained calm, showing no particular expression.

Anyway, anyone can be the team leader.

When you participate in a rating competition, the key lies with yourself.

Even if Xu Chi is very capable, his poor performance means he can't possibly get a good rating.

Peng Yueze was still making suggestions when, in the middle of his speech, he directly turned his attention to Li Yuan and another person.

"Teacher Li and Teacher Zhou, you can speak if you have any other opinions."

If you think you are better than Teacher Xu Chi, you can say so.

If you have no objections, then please respect Mr. Xu Chi's decision.
