I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 202: Placement Matches End! Next, I Go All Out!

"Huh? You went all in?""You’re not planning to keep anything?"

"You know, even if you want to lose on purpose, sometimes things don’t go as planned!"

Lin Yi shook his head, "The biggest surprise should’ve been in the first round."

"Now that I lost the first round, my subsequent opponents will naturally think I’m not that strong."

"Fear comes from the unknown."

"So, starting from the second round, they probably won’t surrender before the fight even begins. By then, I won’t have to pretend as much."

Nangong Ling said nothing.

"But I’m not planning to bet anymore. It was just for fun. If I get caught, it’ll be troublesome."

"But don’t worry, I’ll carry on your all-in spirit to the end."

...

Three days passed.

The Pan-Asian Youth Professional Peak Competition individual event’s positioning stage is now completely over.

In the evening.

In the Xia team’s break room.

Zhao Enquan was holding a notebook, having a meeting with all the teammates.

"The three-day competition ended, and our results are fairly good."

"Eight people successfully entered the upper group."

"One person entered the middle group."he kind of public pressure Zhao Enquan, the honorary coach, was enduring.

And what the other players might be thinking.

Seeing him as someone who got in through high-level connections is a perfectly normal assumption.

"After all, competition is about real combat. Occasional poor performance is fine, as long as you can adjust."

"But Lin Yi, you’re in the lower group now. When the knockout starts tomorrow, many people will choose you as their opponent."

"If you lose, you’ll really be eliminated."

Zhao Enquan was actually reminding Lin Yi.

If he kept performing poorly and losing inexplicably, there would be no hope.

Lin Yi lifted his head, "Mr. Zhao, I’ve caused you trouble the past three days."

"For some reasons I can’t discuss, I couldn’t secure a victory."

"But starting tomorrow."

"I won’t lose again."

"This year, I’ll make sure all 10 tower slots remain with Xia!"

Lin Yi finished speaking.

The room fell silent.

Even Ding Yue, who had just criticized Lin Yi, found himself swallowing his words after hearing Lin Yi’s statements.

The aura that Lin Yi exuded at that moment.

Was worlds apart from the impression they had formed over the past three days!

They previously felt something inexplicable about this captain.

As though he was "dispensable!"

If you didn’t pay special attention to him, you’d subconsciously ignore his presence even if he stood before you.

Apart from that, their first impression of Lin Yi was: not strong, very weak.

This impression was elusive and mysterious.

Somehow it could unknowingly alter your way of thinking.

This is the horror of obscuring fate and altering destiny.

However, just after Lin Yi declared he would never lose again.

Everyone felt the mist that enveloped this captain dispersed at that moment.

He revealed an unprecedented fierce edge!

This kind of edge, they’ve only seen in top-tier experts.

He changed!

He truly changed!

Guo Yinglong also spoke up, "The lower group doesn’t mean anything, not for true strongmen."

"They still have the ability to win the championship!"

"Captain, I believe in you."

Sitting behind Ding Yue, at the end of the team, a short-statured boy also smiled, "Captain, actually, I saw long ago that you haven’t shown your real strength."

"I believe in you too!"

The short boy’s name is Guan Xingwu, and he is also the youngest.

Only 18 years old.

Even younger than Lin Yi by a few months.

For a moment, the atmosphere of the entire Xia team didn’t feel so tense anymore.

Zhao Enquan breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew all too well how much a team’s strength could be influenced by the overall atmosphere and psychology.

Lin Yi’s words brought him great comfort.

"Good! That’s the spirit we need!"

Zhao Enquan checked his watch, clapped his hands, and said, "It’s getting late, everyone go back to your dorms to rest."

"If there’s anything, come to 309 to find me."

"Do your best tomorrow!"

"Dismissed!"

Lin Yi returned to his dorm, exhaled deeply.

These past three days, to be honest, have been somewhat frustrating for him.

Luckily, it was only necessary to lose three games; tomorrow he could steamroll over the others.

The tough days have passed.

Next, he will become infallible and achieve divine greatness!

Ding dong!

The doorbell rang.

Lin Yi opened the door to find Nangong Ling.

Then, Nangong Ling’s voice echoed in his mind.

"Today’s bets are settled."

"How much do you think you’ve won now?"

Nangong Ling didn’t keep him in suspense.

She directly transmitted a screenshot to Lin Yi using Divine Sense.

The string of numbers on the screenshot left Lin Yi speechless.

How much???!
