Chapter: 1564
The emcee finished his opening remarks and announced first: "First up, we have our Chinese player, Qin Ao Xue!"
Subsequently, the emcee announced again: "Next up, we have Victoria, Qin Ao Xue's opponent from Australia!"
As soon as the words fell silent, a golden-haired Australian female player emerged from the corridor.
This Australian player exuded a few moments of nervousness, with her overall aura being noticeably weaker than Qin Ao Xue's. It was clear that she should be very unconfident about today's match.
Next, the emcee called out Ito Naena's name and her opponent, Michelle from the United States.
Ito Naena and Michelle were both extremely calm, their eyes filled with a strong desire to win this match.
Michelle was originally the second seed for this competition, her abilities not significantly weaker than those of Naena. After watching Qin Ao Xue's previous match, she also realized that she had no chance of winning the championship this time. Therefore, she and Ito Naena shared the same strategy: hoping to win as many games as possible and secure the silver medal.
In fact, Michelle thought even more practically.
She felt that if she won this match, she could simply concede defeat in the finals when facing Qin Ao Xue again.
This way, not only would it not affect her chances of winning the silver medal, but she also wouldn't bring any harm to herself.
After all, Qin Ao Xue's performance in her previous match was truly too strong. Michelle was afraid that if she met her in the finals, she would end up getting injured at her hands.
An athlete has to participate in many matches within a year, and losing one match doesn't matter at all. However, if an injury occurs due to a loss, making it impossible for them to participate in any more matches that year, then that would be some really unrecoverable losses.
At this time, four athletes separately stepped onto two platforms.
These two platforms were situated left and right of each other, with spectator seating encircling each one.
The venue was packed today, with the sound of applause, whistling, and cheers never ceasing to stop.
Leaf Chen stood at the platform below where Qin Ao Xue was standing behind him, which is also the location of a coach in a martial arts competition.
On the other side, the opposing coach looked at Leaf Chen with a tense expression, occasionally glancing at Qin Ao Xue on the platform. He held a towel in his hand, ready to throw it in and concede defeat as soon as his student couldn't withstand the pressure on stage.
Meanwhile, on the platform, Qin Ao Xue gave her opponent Victoria a cold and stern look.
Before Leaf Chen helped her improve her physical condition, she was not Victoria's match. After all, this Australian girl is tall and strong, with bodily functions that are one level stronger than Qin Ao Xue used to be.
But now, she has complete confidence in defeating Victoria.
She's just considering what approach to take to achieve a winning move against Victoria.
Meanwhile, on another platform, Ito Na Na is also pondering the same question.
Her gaze is not on her opponent Michelle, but on Leaf Chen at the other platform edge.
Although Leaf Chen isn't looking at her now, she's convinced that if she performs well enough, Leaf Chen will definitely notice her!
