Chapter 473: Chapter 472 Arrogant Challenge Chapter 473: Chapter 472 Arrogant Challenge She didn’t say anything for the moment, just stood quietly beside Xiao Qimo, silently watching.
“Since Ning Qun has already asked, Peng Jun didn’t try to hide it and spoke openly, “I only brought one team member to challenge you guys.”
“One team member to challenge us?
Are you out of your mind?
And it’s also a female team member at that.” The crowd couldn’t help but both gasp and laugh.
Cheng Feng was rather impatient.
He looked at Peng Jun, stepped forward, and said, “Coach, if you’re capable, then bring over your Huan Yan to have a one-on-one with us, don’t let a cute girl block his way.”
Peng Jun laughed, “You guys are not even qualified to be Huan Yan’s opponents.
You don’t understand his strength.
Even if all of you combined, you’re not a match for him alone!”
Yun Sang scoffed, arrogance!
Xiao Qimo and Lu Mian didn’t speak, their expressions calm as ever, seemingly not disturbed by his words.
But Cheng Feng and the others couldn’t hold back, and they immediately started clamoring.
“One person to take on so many of us?
Do you think our team is out of players?”
Qimo would wipe you out in seconds!”
Peng Jun chuckled, “Anyone can talk big.
Let’s see the real deal on the field.
Now let me give you a little warm-up, I’ve brought my team member here.
If it’s one against five…
wouldn’t you feel a lack of face?”
That statement was really provocative.
Of course, it would be embarrassing!
Five guys losing to one girl, how could they live with themselves?
It certainly wouldn’t work, unless the Shadow Hunting Team had no shame.
Everyone shook their heads in refusal.
Peng Jun was very arrogant, very confident in his team member, and directly proposed, “Then how about one against three.
If any one of you can beat Lucy, I’ll consider it a win for you guys!”
Cheng Feng was furious, “What do you mean?
Are you trying to humiliate us?”
Even Xun Xiaoran frowned, as the opponent was going too far.
Did they really think they had no one left in their team?
One against three, and only needing one victory to count as a win for the Shadow Hunting Team?
This kind of competition would only serve to bring them ridicule if spread.
“I speak with reason,” Peng Jun declared, “I’m here to make a bet with you.
If my team member Lucy wins, then you will have to agree to the following condition.”
Being the most prudent among them, Ning Qun cautiously asked, “What condition?”
Peng Jun smiled, “If Lucy wins, then in next year’s CTF major competitions, you aren’t allowed to field Yun Sang.”
As his words fell, Ning Qun tightened his brows; this condition was far too excessive.
Yun Sang was the captain of their team, the mainstay.
If they didn’t let Yun Sang play, the entire team would fall apart, and they would be forced to change their several hundred strategies.
Yun Sang’s departure would be a catastrophic blow to the Shadow Hunting Team.
Naturally, everyone disagreed.
Peng Jun was already prepared.
“It’s no big deal if you don’t agree.
After all, you might feel that your strength still falls short of our team’s one female player.”
These words left the Shadow Hunting Team in a bind, whether to fight or not to fight; he had really put them in a tough spot.
In the end, Yun Sang made the decision, “Alright, our team accepts the challenge, lest you go spreading rumors that our team members are cowards.”
“But captain, this concerns whether or not you can compete next year!
You’ll be retiring soon, and if you can’t join next year’s major competitions, you might as well retire right now!”
The team members were anxiously persuading him; they couldn’t afford such a bet, nor dare to wager it.
Yun Sang nodded, “I know.”
Then he said with a beguiling smile, “Isn’t Peng Jun just trying to deal with me this way?”
His teammates were taken aback, but Yun Sang appeared completely unconcerned, receiving both his brows and eyes a slight lift, filled with devilish energy.
Yun Sang explained, “After Mr.
Qimo left the team, we needed a replacement, and this Mr.
Peng Jun was on the substitute list.
He blames me for not letting him play!”
Being a substitute was probably the greatest sorrow, as they might never get the chance to play before facing retirement.
Each departure or leaving of a team member was a major opportunity for them, one that anyone would cherish and fight for with all they had.
But if they couldn’t get it, they would not harbor hatred.
eSports is all about skill, whoever scores higher in the tests, gets to play.
It’s fair, but also ruthless.
However, when it came to this matter, Peng Jun had his say.
“Yun Sang, when you took over Shadow Hunting Team as captain, I thought I’d officially represent Shadow Hunting Team in battles, because amongst the substitutes at that time, only I was the best, my composite test score was the highest.
But you chose the second best, you picked someone weaker than me, is that your so-called fairness?”
Yun Sang was noncommittal, “Scores are just one part, wasn’t it okay for me to consider character as well?”
He said this very arrogantly, not caring at all whether the person in question could handle it or even considering his current situation.
Peng Jun nodded, “Good, good, very good, I’ll show you what true strength is.
Your so-called character is nothing but a joke.”
Yun Sang then agreed to the bet.
Ning Qun and Xiao Qimo’s expressions darkened.
The challenge proposed was excessively fierce; they were all young and hotheaded lads, and it was difficult to accept.
It was at this point that Ning Xiang stepped forward.
She laughed and shook her head at those so-called bros behind her, “See, this is when our tomboys need to step in, huh?
Even though I’m mannish most of the time.
At least I am still of the female gender, right?”
As she spoke, she walked confidently up to Peng Jun and eyed the dainty loli girl.
“Sorry Lucy, our brothers here are a bit shy and can’t stand girls like you who are dewy and delicate.
Let me take their place and compete for them.”
After speaking, she confidently patted her chest and addressed Yun Sang, “Don’t worry, Yun bro, with me here, I won’t let you be forced out of the CTF competitions.”
Yun Sang paused, then nodded, and Ning Xiang, emboldened, declared, “Actually, there’s no need for one against three, that would be really unfair.
Let’s just have one-on-one with this lady.”
Peng Jun looked at her and chuckled derisively, quite mockingly.
