"Qianqian, what's wrong with you, uncle? Why did you stop talking after just two sentences? He said a lot, and everyone else was intimidated by him. If you continue like this, you will definitely lose."

Qi Li couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw that Gu Dan had gained the admiration of so many people all of a sudden, while Liming had made no achievements at all.

Qianqian, who was asked, also looked anxious and worried, but she didn't know what Liming was going to do, so she could only watch anxiously.

……

Standing on one side of the ring, Liming looked at the disdainful eyes around him, and suddenly noticed a worried look on Qianqian's little face below the stage. He smiled and waved to Qianqian to comfort her, and then looked at Ying Zhao beside him.

At this moment, the look Dawn received was cold and mixed with a hint of resentment.

Liming looked at him and said it without any psychological burden.

"Let me guess how many seconds it will take you to lose?"

"Humph, your provocation has no effect on me!"

"No, no, no, I really think so. And I also know that your opponent is ready to beat you up."

22. Weird Sayings (First Update)

"Beat me violently? Then he must have that overwhelming strength!"

Ying Zhao looked at Liming coldly. He had no good feelings towards this man who said he was a loser in front of so many people. He also realized that Liming was deliberately provoke him, trying to make him so angry that his thinking ability would be reduced. He also wanted to calm down and not let Liming succeed.

"Does hitting someone require overwhelming force?"

Liming stood up straight and looked down at Ying Zhao. His bright eyes, staring directly at Ying Zhao, seemed to see everything, just like everything hidden deep in Ying Zhao's heart at this moment was seen by Liming.

Feeling Liming's penetrating gaze, Ying Zhao, who had been looking at Liming coldly, could no longer maintain his gaze. He lowered his head and glanced to the side to avoid Liming's gaze, but still said unhappily.

"Isn't that right? Our strengths are similar, how could I be beaten up? Even if Xiao Chengyan wants to win, he has to rely on consumption, right?"

"Oh, then you really think highly of yourself." Li Ming sneered, walked to Ying Zhao, lowered his head and whispered in his ear: "However, you will know later that the gap in strength does not mean that the result is so natural."

When Ying Zhao heard Liming look down on him and hint that he would be beaten up soon, the anger in his heart was burning hot and difficult to calm down, so he spoke in a harsh voice.

"Stop talking nonsense. You just want me to play him more seriously so that you can get a good score. I won't. I just want to make you frustrated and defeated. I want you to regret why you put on such an ugly face. I want you to regret why you said we were bad in public without restraint. As a mentor, your vision is just like that!"

"Oh? Is that the extent of my vision?" Li Ming stood in front of Ying Zhao, looked at him jokingly and said, "Do you understand what you are saying?"

Ying Zhao raised his head and looked at Liming angrily, confronting Liming's teasing gaze and said, "Don't I understand what I said?"

"Oh, really?" Li Ming smiled slightly, and leaned over to Ying Zhao's ear and said, "Well... out of so many people, I chose you. Do you know what this means?"

Hearing Liming's words, Ying Zhao was stunned and couldn't help but think of a certain aspect.

Liming chose him, which means that compared to others, Liming is more optimistic about him. But he just said that Liming has no vision. Isn't this equivalent to saying that he is a waste who is worse than others?

"Have you figured it out?" Li Ming looked at Ying Zhao's stunned expression, smiled faintly, and said, "Now, what do you think of my vision? Is it still just like that?"

When Ying Zhao was asked by Li Ming, he wanted to retort and affirm Li Ming's vision to affirm himself, but he couldn't open his mouth.

He was indeed a little weaker than Xiao Chengyan, and he had just belittled Liming's vision. His self-esteem did not allow him to change his position just because of a few words from someone he hated, even though he wanted to say that Liming had a good vision and that he himself was very strong and talented.

"Hey, did you see that?" When Ying Zhao couldn't let go of himself, Liming stood beside Ying Zhao, looked around at the people who looked down on him in the audience and on the stage, and said: "The way they looked at me... was obvious, right? When I chose you, why do you think they laughed? There is only one answer, that is, they looked down on me, but why? Because I chose you, and in their hearts, you are a joke compared to Xiao Chengyan, so my vision is looked down upon."

Liming's words lingered in Ying Zhao's mind, each one of them like a stick, constantly hitting him on the head.

Unwilling to be looked down upon, he clenched his fists. The spark in his heart had grown into a raging fire that was difficult to extinguish.

And Liming continued with his next sentence, his voice was soft, but it pierced heavily into Ying Zhao's heart.

"That is to say, the person they look down on is actually you, and I was implicated by you just because I look up to you. And you look down on me. So to put it simply, you...even look down on yourself."

Li Ming took a step back, stood up straight, looked down at Ying Zhao, and said with a joking look in his eyes: "Why are you angry when I said you are a loser? Isn't this the fact you admit? Why can't you accept it? Do you think you are indeed a loser, but it would be embarrassing to say it out loud, so..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't try to scare me!"

Ying Zhao was unwilling to be told this by Liming, and his resentment made him retort. He glared at Liming and said, "It is you they look down upon, and I am the one who should be implicated!"

Liming sneered and said, "Why would they look down on me? I am a helper of the believers of light. Even though most big bosses have many helpers under their command, in order to avoid suffering too much loss when they are betrayed, the big bosses will indeed look for people with no strength to cover for them."

"But who can be sure that I'm weak? Didn't they think that I might have considerable abilities? In the past two years, based on how Qianqian and I have performed in the eyes of others, this possibility is indeed very small, but it's not impossible, right? Maybe I just concealed it well enough."

"From the beginning, they were dissatisfied with me because I used connections to take the position they were pursuing. They also doubted my ability. Just now, when I only had two sentences to comment on you, a student in the audience shouted the word "as expected". Doesn't this prove that he really doubted my ability? Doesn't this just prove what I am saying now?"

"Besides, if they didn't look down on you from the beginning, would you be implicated? If they really looked up to you, then they wouldn't be laughing at me when I chose you. You should understand that if I said you were a loser when I chose you, then if you were really strong, then they wouldn't be laughing at me, but would be unhappy that I was so arrogant and chose someone as strong as you."

Liming smiled disdainfully at Ying Zhao's anger, and then slowly said, "Deceiving yourself in front of others is something only cowards and heroes would do. Which type are you?"

Under the attack of Liming's words, Ying Zhao's emotions fluctuated violently, causing his chest to heave and his breathing to become heavy.

However, even though his unwilling heart had been completely ignited by Dawn, he still did not explode. He raised his head, took a deep breath, and slowly calmed himself down.

"That's enough... Maybe you're right. Maybe I'm looked down upon by everyone. I'm weak and useless. I can't fight with all my might because I'm so angry. I aspire to be a hero, not a thug! This is a lesson in my life. I won't let this make me..."

"Hero? You think you're a hero? Don't you think it's ridiculous that you think so?"

23. Instigation? This is teaching! (Second update)

Liming put his hands in his pockets. This time, he raised his head and looked down at Ying Zhao with indifference in his eyes, because this man reminded Liming of his past, and those pasts were the reasons why he was once called the Dark King.

"A hero must endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens? A hero must take responsibility? Endure what others cannot endure and become a saint among men?" Liming said coldly.

"Isn't it!?" Ying Zhao's eyes were full of determination.

"Not only is that not true, it's ridiculous. If a hero doesn't even know how to fight for the glory he deserves, that's just stupidity. When you are ruined one day, you will find that the glory is not just glory. By then, it will be too late to regret."

As Liming was talking, a hint of loneliness inadvertently appeared in his eyes. This hint of loneliness was in sharp contrast to the disdainful and mocking look just now, making it easy for Ying Zhao to notice it.

And Liming seemed to be a little uncomfortable with this loneliness, so he glanced aside, hiding something, with the corners of his mouth raised stiffly, and sneered disdainfully.

"You can't always use the excuse of 'being responsible' to cover up letting go, because more often than not, it's just an excuse for cowards who don't want to make progress to deceive themselves!"

The loneliness in Liming's eyes and the words he said struck deeply into Ying Zhao's heart. He originally wanted to force himself to accept the unwillingness in his heart, but it was now released, as if someone had opened a ventilated window in his heart, allowing him to see new scenery.

This person... is an experienced person!

Ying Zhao calmed down and fell silent. Looking at Liming's expression which was concealing a hint of loneliness, he began to reflect.

What kind of existence should a hero be?

Become people's faith like the goddess? Or pursue the highest glory like the great hero Normanson? What have they shouldered? What decisions have they made?

Beside Ying Zhao, Liming glanced at Ying Zhao's deep thought, and a smile flashed across his eyes, but he continued speaking calmly.

"Have you ever thought about what a hero is? Perhaps not, but you must have seen it, right? The so-called heroes are just a group of seemingly noble people who act for their own interests, just like those heroes who also want money, status, and power!"

When Ying Zhao, who was deep in thought, heard Liming's words, his heart was shocked and he couldn't help feeling a little flustered, because what Liming said was exactly the situation seen by most heroes nowadays, which was too real and made him uncomfortable.

However, this was different from the hero in his mind, so he retorted: "Not all heroes are like this!"

Li Ming didn't argue with the boy this time. Instead, he went around behind Ying Zhao and spoke softly beside Ying Zhao.

"What I'm talking about are so-called heroes, and what you're thinking of are real heroes!"

"What is a true hero like in this world? Some people say that a hero is someone who endures great suffering and sacrifices himself for the sake of others' happiness; others say that a hero is someone who can bring hope to others when they look up to him with sad wishes."

"Heroes like that, are they... great?"

“…………Great.” Ying Zhao thought for a moment and replied.

"No! Not at all! He was just a weakling who was oppressed by the selfishness of others, with immature thoughts and no courage to even turn over and shake off the things he shouldn't be carrying! He is a weakling among humans, worse than a running dog!"

"A true hero should face freedom, have ambitions in his heart, and have the world in his heart! He should not be blindly credulous! He should be able to punish evildoers! He should restrain vulgar people! He should pursue glory and strive to become the faith in people's hearts!"

Liming spoke with some excitement, but he was quietly observing Ying Zhao. Ying Zhao seemed shocked by his words. He was a little dazed, but nodded subconsciously.

Seeing this, Liming's mouth curled up slightly, because it was almost done.

Liming stood behind Ying Zhao, raised his right hand and placed it on Ying Zhao's shoulder, looking at Xiao Chengyan on the other side of the arena and said.

"Look at that person, the one in front of you who is about your age. We are the same age, so why can't you beat him?"

After Ying Zhao raised his head and looked towards the arena, Liming's next words had a strange and alluring tone.

"Are you still worried about the frustration of giving in? Are you still ready to give up because you are not strong enough? No! You can't! Because you are going to be a real hero!"

After hearing what Liming said, Ying Zhao clenched his hands and continued to listen attentively.

"Look at that guy. He looks like he is humbly accepting instruction. But, you know, he is just pretending. Can he become a real hero? Not necessarily, right? And what about you? You can! Because you have something to pursue!"

"Look again, that person is getting all the attention now. Why aren't you the one being noticed? You are a hero! You let a conceited guy take all the limelight. You will become a true hero in the future. Will you let such a person stand in the way of your pursuit of heroic glory?"

Ying Zhao looked up at Xiao Chengyan on the other side, a hint of unwillingness and impulse flashed in his eyes. In his ears, Liming's words now seemed to have injected the soul!

"Look again, those pretty female classmates outside are all paying attention to that abominable guy who is pretending to be salty. This guy looks modest, but how high-spirited is he actually? Oh, the two girls over there looking at this side are looking at me, don't dream."

Ying Zhao glanced around as Li Ming spoke and was somewhat moved.

"Seeing this, think about it. You aspire to be a real hero, that is, a great hero in the future. Shouldn't you be very popular with girls? But why not? Because there is that hateful guy pretending to be sexy standing on the stage. He has stolen your limelight. No, he has stolen the beautiful girls who should belong to you."

"You want to be a true hero, but you are willing to be suppressed like this. Your ideals are so noble, shouldn't you be ahead of everyone else?"

"Why is he walking ahead of you? Because you lost? No, it's just because you didn't fight hard enough! You didn't throw enough punches! Believe me, I'm just an ordinary person, but I can see that you're extraordinary, and that's why I chose you!"

"Look, your opponent suddenly raised his head so proudly and smiled confidently. Doesn't this expose his hypocritical nature?"

"Such a hypocritical person robbed you of so many things, and you couldn't beat him just because you didn't hit him hard enough or didn't use enough punches. Are you willing to keep losing like this?"

"All those pretty girls in your class and S class are watching you! Your future wife may be among them. If you lose again now, will your wife fall in love with someone else?"

"Are you willing to hear that hypocritical guy hugging the wife who should belong to you and saying - you are great?"

"Crunch..." the sound of gnashing teeth.

Hearing this voice, it was fortunate that Liming walked behind Ying Zhao in advance, otherwise the smile in his eyes would not be hidden. However, he still spoke in a serious and forceful voice.

"One day you will be able to rise to great heights! How can ants stand in your way?! The time has come, go ahead!"

24. Something is wrong with the scene (first update)

"Okay, it's time!"

At this time, the review instructor next to the ring looked at the time on his watch and spoke loudly to attract everyone's attention.

"Now, students from both sides please prepare to start the second battle!"

The review instructor's words stirred the bored hearts of the students who had been waiting for twenty minutes. They were excited as they watched the two people on the stage who were about to have the second match.

Many of them wanted to shout loudly to cheer for Xiao Chengyan, and also wanted to call Ying Zhao a fraud to make Liming lose face. However, they couldn't say it directly because the review instructor might relax Liming's score because of this.

However, some people were rational enough not to say anything extra, while some people did not care at all about these things that did not concern them. They only cared about venting their emotions and raised their right hands and shouted without hesitation.

"Go to Chengyan and make that guy a joke! We must let that person with connections know that he is nothing without the support of connections!"

With someone leading the charge, more people followed suit and shouted.

"Go ahead! Let that guy know that real strength is the most important thing!"

"That's right, go ahead, Xiao Chengyan!"

"..."

The shouts of the people in the audience filled Ying Zhao's ears, which sounded so harsh, and also made the words that Li Ming had just said in his ear seem so real and inspiring in his mind.

Anger was like a fire, burning in his chest. Resentment was like a shadow, lingering in his mind. He no longer needed anyone to teach him what to do!

"Remember, you just didn't hit hard enough! You didn't throw enough punches! Just get up there and do it!"

Liming added another sentence to emphasize, and then walked towards the review instructor. Gu Dan on the other side also returned to the review instructor's side and gave the stage to the two students.

When Gu Dan saw Liming coming back, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up into a confident arc, thinking to himself.

Xiao Chengyan was like a fish in water under my guidance. On the other hand, the students over there looked angry. It was obvious that this guy had a fight with that student!

While teaching, you describe your students like this. The relationship between a mentor and a student is like a knife. Do you still expect to beat me like this?

There is no need to say more about the outcome of this battle!

Gu Dan stood next to the review instructor, glanced at Liming again, then crossed his arms and looked confidently and calmly at the two students on both sides of the arena.

Liming couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw Gu Dan so leisurely. He didn't say anything and just stood aside and watched.

Offstage, Qi Li was watching this scene. Although she had already predicted in her mind that the outcome of this competition would be Xiao Chengyan's excellent victory, and that Li Ming would receive a low score and would not be able to become a mentor, she still felt a little nervous and unwilling in her heart.

Especially after Qi Li saw Qianqian's worried and nervous little face, she couldn't help but become worried even though she had originally felt hopeless because she had anticipated that Liming would lose.

On the stage, the review instructor once again raised his right hand, and then suddenly swung it down while shouting, "Begin!"

This time, Ying Zhao walked directly towards Xiao Chengyan. It seemed that as something had erupted, his speed was slowly increasing.
