Chapter 196: 139 I exchanged three moves with a Tianshu Realm master! (Second update! Please subscribe! Please vote for monthly tickets!) Inside Jizhou Island Stadium, the competition continued.
Li Yixi landed three punches and two kicks, advancing to the top 16.
At that moment, she dashed over to where Qin Hao and her mother were.
By the sidelines, Li Yixi exclaimed, “How about that, Master? I’m awesome, right?”
Qin Hao nodded, “Not bad, keep it up.”
Qi Refining Seventh Level, competing here in a novice rank match.
If she were to lose here, that would really be embarrassing.
If she lost, she might as well quit cultivating and go home to raise pigs.
Fortunately, Li Yixi hadn’t forgotten the tips Qin Hao had given her earlier.
Her responsiveness in the heat of battle was good, and her use of Tai Chi was effective.
She didn’t disappoint Qin Hao.
Li Yixi’s mother, Han Xueru, lovingly handed her a small ice cream cone to boost her spirits.
This mother was so overwhelmed with emotion that she cried.
Her daughter had been affected by negative energy since childhood, affecting her mind.
She had never won any awards from childhood till now.
Yet now, she had surged into the top 16 of Korea’s national Martial Arts competition.
And she had dominated in the previous two rounds.
How could Han Xueru, as a mother, not be thrilled?
It was the first time her daughter shone so brightly.
Seeing her mother so excited,
Li Yixi said, “Mom, don’t get too excited. It’s just the top 16. I’ll bring home the first place for you soon!”
Li Yixi was brimming with confidence.
Her Tai Chi had reached a significant level of proficiency.
To put it bluntly, she could dominate any contestant here.
At that moment, Li Yixi sat by the edge of the competition platform while other contestants were still anxiously preparing.
She was the only one calmly eating her ice cream by the side.
The thing was, neither the other contestants nor the referees dared to say anything.
Firstly, she was just a nine-year-old girl, what could you possibly teach her?
Secondly, she was powerful!
She had the chops to be capricious!
Now tell me, who wouldn’t accept that?
Ten minutes later, the struggle for the top 16 had ended.
Half of the competitors were eliminated.
Another on-the-spot lottery was held.
Li Yixi went up to draw with her ice cream in hand.
Fortunately, in this round for moving from top 16 to top 8, there was an extra bye.
And that bye went to Li Yixi.
With a bye, she didn’t have to fight.
Li Yixi didn’t let out a sigh of relief, but her opponents sure did.
Now, this big shot had drawn a bye.
No one had to face her!
Many contestants were thrilled.
It’s like a festival!
Now everyone had a chance to advance into the top 8 under normal competition.
Li Yixi, holding the bye in her hand, was a bit disappointed.
She could only return to her seat and continue eating her ice cream.
She finished an entire ice cream cone.
And the top 8 competition had just ended.
This round, Li Yixi drew number four.
Her opponent was the unlucky No. 3 contestant.
No. 3 was a skinny man who practiced the Thunder Palm of Dragon Country.
At this moment, the Thunder Palm skinny man looked at the number in his hand.
The Thunder Palm skinny man felt like he had been struck by lightning.
Did I just draw the grand prize?
The skinny man was completely flustered.
He looked at the nine-year-old, porcelain doll-like little girl.
Even when Li Yixi gave him a smile.
The skinny man felt like he’d fallen into an ice cellar.
He immediately raised his hand: “Referee, I won’t fight her, I forfeit!”
This skinny man knew his limits.
He had sparred a few times with Karate practitioners before.
He couldn’t even get past Karate, how could he hope to fight this devilish little girl?
The skinny man chose not to humiliate himself by stepping up.
By forfeiting, he kept a bit more dignity.
Even Li Yixi was speechless.
These guys, why won’t they fight?
They just walked me into the top 4?
Li Yixi had to sit out again, helplessly waiting for the next round.
Soon, the top four were decided.
This time, the referee drew numbers for each contestant.
Li Yixi was number one again.
was a hefty man weighing at least 250 pounds.
Standing in front of Li Yixi, he seemed very naive and honest.
But those who had seen his previous matches knew better.
This man appeared gentle but was extremely ruthless in actual combat.
His martial arts style was Wrestling Grappling.
In previous matches, he used his size and strength advantage to throw his opponents off the platform.
The only difference was that Li Yixi used the hardness and softness of Tai Chi.
While this guy, had no technique, just brute strength.
Facing this hefty man,
the two stood on the platform, the huge difference in size forming a stark contrast.
The spectators in the viewing stand were all excited.
Because this match was to decide the top three spots.
And not to mention, a nine-year-old girl versus a 250-pound wrestling hulk.
This match was full of highlights!
In the stadium, many reporters began frantically taking photos and recording videos.
This match could be the most exciting one of the tournament.
Following the referee’s whistle, the match began.
Li Yixi looked at the massive wrestler in front of her.
She wasn’t in a rush.
Standing her ground, she waited for her opponent to make the first move.
Li Yixi remembered her master’s teaching.
Tai Chi, prioritize defense over offense.
Combine hardness with softness, control the enemy by reacting later.
If Tai Chi takes the initiative, it’s nonsense.
Thus, Li Yixi stood her ground and waited.
The opposing wrestler,
seeing that Li Yixi wasn’t making the first move,
didn’t dare to underestimate her.
After all, he had watched all of Li Yixi’s previous matches.
This little girl was not as simple as she appeared.
He too hesitated to make a rash move.
Both were observing each other.
But after waiting a while, the wrestler realized that his opponent really had no intention of striking first.
