Hearing Lin Chen and Jiang Shaoxu's back-and-forth banter, the Sakura Chinese in Xishouge lost their appetite. They were so angry at Lin Chen and Jiang Shaoxu that they were practically bursting with rage. Their eyes were filled with hostility as they looked at the Chinese National Team.

"Since you're so eager for education, don't blame us for not being hospitable enough. Someone, go and set up the fighting arena now, make sure this fight can proceed smoothly after the banquet and tea," said Fujikata Nobuko, the female teacher from the National Hall.

Upon receiving instructions from their teacher, several members of the guard immediately ran out of the banquet hall, found the management personnel of the West Guard Pavilion, and began to set up the venue.

"How should we fight? Should we have a group fight or a one-on-one battle? I personally prefer one-on-one. I don't rule out the possibility that there are quite a few incompetent guys in the National Government team." Guan Yu aimed at Okamoto Takashi with blond hair and cut straight to the point.

"One-on-one is fine. Each team will select five players for one-on-one duels, best of five," said Ms. Nobuko.

"Teacher, let me do it. Even in a vast country like this, there are bound to be some narrow-minded people. I think it's most appropriate for me to take the lead in this kind of educational matter." The blond Okamoto Takashi immediately volunteered.

Ms. Fujikata Nobuko shook her head: "Guests are welcome; let them choose their opponents."

Upon hearing this, Guan Yu's eyes lit up immediately, and he pointed at Okamoto Takashi, saying, "Then I'll choose him."

"Teacher, the arena is ready, and the protective barrier is functioning normally." A disciple stepped forward.

He bowed to Fujikata Nobuko and began to speak.

Fujikata Nobuko nodded and said to the crowd, "Then let's not waste any more time, everyone, let's head to the arena!"

The group quickly arrived at the arena. Fujikata Nobuko glanced at Ai Jiangtu and said confidently, "You all need to prepare well. Don't say you didn't perform well after you lose."

Fujikata Nobuko's confidence was not without reason. The rankings of the previous National Tournament of China were not very good, far inferior to those of Japan. She felt that this year would be similar, and no matter how they played, they would win.

Ai Jiangtu led everyone to another seat. He originally wanted to discuss who should host the event, but he found that some people had already taken their anger out on others, and the choice had basically been made.

"Guan Yu, Jiang Shaoxu, Lin Chen, the three of you go," Ai Jiangtu said.

Upon hearing this, Mo Fan was immediately displeased and quickly said, "Why won't you let me go? Make Guan Yu, that defeated bastard, come down here. I'll personally beat that bitch up and show her what true morality and shame are!"

"Don't be impulsive. The control that Mochizuki Chika showed when she released her magic earlier indicates that she is definitely a high-level mage, and not just someone who has recently advanced to a high-level mage. If you go up to fight her, you may not be able to win completely. Let Lin Chen handle it," Ai Jiangtu explained.

Although Mo Fan felt unconvinced, Lin Chen's strength was indeed greater than his, and it was almost a sure win. Moreover, compared to the embarrassment of a narrow victory, a sure win should be even greater.

"Lin Chen, that woman is in your hands now. You absolutely have to show her what it takes to be a Chinese man!" Mo Fan specifically instructed.

"Okay." Lin Chen nodded.

"We've already chosen our candidates. These three will spar with your national team members," Ai Jiangtu said, pointing to Lin Chen and his two companions standing at the front of the group.

"Did you not hear what Ms. Nobuko said clearly, or is there a problem with your comprehension? I already told you to choose five people. Can't you count?" The blond Okamoto Takashi frowned slightly and said.

"Best of five, we've won three in a row, so it's over, isn't it?" Ai Jiangtu said seriously.

"So you only chose three people?!" Mochizuki Chika was once again angered by the members of the Huaguo National Team.

"Isn't this obvious? Do we really need to send a fourth person to deal with your guards?" Ai Jiangtu replied.

"The captain is so awesome!" Jiang Yu gave Ai Jiangtu a thumbs up.

"This guy's showing off is almost as good as mine," Mo Fan said with a smile.

"I'll go first!" Guan Yu said.

Guan Yu didn't care whether Lin Chen and Jiang Shaoxu agreed or not, and jumped directly onto the Lingdou platform. He first bowed to the people around him, then pointed at Okamoto Takashi and said disdainfully, "You blondie, come up here and let me beat you up to cool you down."

"Don't be so arrogant. Today, let me teach you what humility means and what it means that there are always people more capable than you!" Okamoto Takashi bowed to the crowd behind him and then walked towards the arena.

As the match began, the two fighters on the stage blurred into afterimages, moving at incredible speed across the wide arena.

Both of them happened to be speed-type mages, so the competition was all about speed. Some mages with lower cultivation levels...

The process of the two clashing could not be seen; only afterimages could be seen flashing continuously.

In the end, Okamoto Takashi of the Sakura Kingdom was slightly outmatched, underestimating the astonishing speed that Guan Yu suddenly unleashed. He was severely injured by Guan Yu's thorny magic tool, while Guan Yu also fell into a trap set by Okamoto Takashi. He was lifted up by a wind-blown disc and thrown to the ground, breaking several ribs, resulting in a pyrrhic victory.

"I'll be playing in the second round!"

Seeing that the first match was over, Jiang Shaoxu immediately walked up to the Lingdou platform.

"That woman isn't as pretty as me, and she dresses almost the same way I do. I'm stunningly beautiful, while you're just a slut." Jiang Shaoxu's words immediately ignited hatred, infuriating Xiaochi Xiangzi.

"Who knows how many surgeries you've had on your face? Don't let me beat you into a monster later!" Koike Shoko retorted defiantly.

"Hehe, if you want to beat me, go practice for a few more years. If I let you successfully cast a spell later, I'll consider it a loss," Jiang Shaoxu said with a smile.

"How arrogant!" Koike Shoko simply didn't believe it.

Disbelief is one thing, but the outcome is another.

Unsurprisingly, in a one-on-one fight, the mind-based mage had virtually no reason to lose; the continuous mental impact truly left Koike Shoko with absolutely no chance to unleash a single spell.

After fighting for a while, Shoko Koike felt like a monkey being toyed with, and ultimately,

She had no choice but to admit defeat.

Seeing this, Jiang Shaoxu said with an arrogant expression, "This is the difference between the National Team athletes and the defending athletes."

Don't judge us by the examples of other countries that have lost.

After two rounds, it was Lin Chen's turn. He walked slowly towards the direction of the Sakura Country with his head held high and pointed at Mochizuki Chika, saying without any politeness, "Didn't you say we don't know what manners are? Well then, I'll show you what manners are!"
