Chapter 1002: Chapter 1002

"What do you mean? You’re not planning to attack?"

Liu Yeqing was slightly taken aback, looking bewildered by Fu Renjie’s actions.

"Is that not allowed?"

Fu Renjie sneered coldly. He indeed didn’t plan to attack proactively; as long as he could ensure that the opponent’s hidden weapons wouldn’t hit him, it was enough.

The scoring of this match is divided into two parts: one for the number of times you get hit and the other for the times the opponent gets hit.

Fu Renjie had made up his mind to forgo offensive scoring and focus entirely on dodging attacks!

Because his opponent was also a hidden weapon expert, and his own hidden weapon skills... wouldn’t earn him any points even if he attacked, he might expose vulnerabilities instead. It was better to seek victory steadily.

"Interesting. In that case, let’s both not attack."

Liu Yeqing laughed oddly, standing with folded hands beyond the isolation line, not planning to attack either.

"You... it’s better this way."

Fu Renjie was slightly stunned, not expecting Liu Yeqing to be so agreeable, which happened to align perfectly with his intentions.

Thus, Liu Yeqing and Fu Renjie stood face-to-face in the Hidden Weapons Room, neither making a move.

"What are they doing? Shoot already."

Outside, Lin Canghai leaned against the glass, shouting anxiously.

"Could it be that Liu Yeqing has been bought off by the Ming Group? Why not launch an attack on Fu Renjie?"

Tang Ming also looked bewildered.

From Lin Canghai and others’ introduction, Tang Ming knew that Liu Yeqing held an absolute advantage in hidden weapons at this moment. If he launched an attack, Fu Renjie would definitely lose points!

After all, Fu Renjie isn’t skilled in hidden weapons, and even if he were, he couldn’t match Liu Yeqing, who’s specialized in cultivating them.

But now Liu Yeqing wasn’t moving; even if Fu Renjie couldn’t earn points through attack, he wouldn’t lose any. He might even end up with a pretty good score.

"Interesting, really fascinating."

Zhao Tianba and others laughed strangely. They didn’t know why Liu Yeqing was doing this, but it indeed benefited Fu Renjie.

"Host, aren’t they in violation by just standing there not moving?"

Lin Canghai quickly turned to Qin Fang.

"The contestants come from two different factions, theoretically this scenario shouldn’t occur."

Qin Fang was also confused.

To ensure fairness and excitement in the competition, the opponents of the contestants are selected from rival forces. Both sides already have conflicts, so theoretically they should be trying every way to make the other lose points as soon as they enter the stage, not the harmonious scene at present.

The guests in the viewing room saw that neither Fu Renjie nor Liu Yeqing was moving, and they went into an uproar. The match was too dull, simply a waste of time.

Of course, these people also couldn’t understand why Liu Yeqing from the Dark Group wasn’t launching an attack on Fu Renjie. Could he really be showing mercy?

Time ticked away second by second in the Hidden Weapons Room, and the initially tense Fu Renjie began to relax.

"Liu Yeqing, I’m surprised you’re really not attacking. Very well, very well."

Fu Renjie looked at Liu Yeqing, tempting him, "You’re not of low status in the Dark Group, but still just the second leader for assassination missions. If you join the Ming Group, I guarantee you’ll get a higher position and enjoy more power."

"Joining the Ming Group is out of the question. I just don’t like these tasks that are like playing with kids, so boring."

Liu Yeqing yawned, glanced at the timer above the door: "Another thirty seconds till the match ends, such a long time."

"Haha, time really flies."

Fu Renjie chuckled in support, hoping the time would pass quickly so he could complete the task.

With five seconds left, Fu Renjie completely relaxed, looking at the time on the wall, "It’s over. I didn’t expect this match to go so smoothly; it seems I’ll get quite a decent score."

Just when Fu Renjie thought the match could end smoothly, with two seconds left, Liu Yeqing suddenly moved.

Liu Yeqing suddenly grabbed the shoulders of his coat with both hands, then spun forcefully, throwing the coat at Fu Renjie.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

In the blink of an eye, countless silver lights flew from the coat, all shooting towards Fu Renjie.

"You actually... ah!"

Fu Renjie’s face changed dramatically, and before he could finish his sentence, his body was already sent flying, sparks flying off his armor.

"Match over." Before Fu Renjie hit the ground, Qin Fang’s voice rang out, followed by the lights going out.

Then everyone saw Fu Renjie, now brightly marked with red spots, crash to the ground, his front had actually been hit over a hundred times.

"What the hell, is this even possible?"

All the spectators were dumbfounded, not expecting Liu Yeqing to finally strike in the last two seconds, and when he did, it was a thunderous attack, with all the Willow Leaf Blades hitting Fu Renjie.

Once the lights came on, Liu Yeqing walked out of the Hidden Weapons Room, taking off his armor on his own.

"Bastard, you dared to trick me."

Fu Renjie rushed out, staring angrily at Liu Yeqing.

"Haha, you believe whatever I say, do you have a brain?"

Liu Yeqing disdainfully looked at Fu Renjie, "I’m an assassin; my duty is to find an opportunity to kill my target with one shot. Otherwise, facing someone like you focused entirely on defense, I’m not sure I could’ve succeeded this much, and you actually believed an enemy’s words. If this were real combat, you’d be dead a hundred times over."

With that, Liu Yeqing strode out, leaving Fu Renjie, sullen-faced, wanting to explode but not daring to.

"The results are in. Contestant Fu Renjie was hit a total of one hundred and eight times."

Qin Fang’s voice echoed gently.

"Wow, is this guy a pig? Hit over a hundred times within three minutes. Without the armor, he’d have been riddled with holes."

Lin Canghai snickered, looking playfully at Fu Renjie.

Fu Renjie shouted angrily, his face flushed red.

"It was the truth, just a bit off."

Wu Xiaoyu interjected with a smile, looking at Lin Canghai, "He wasn’t hit over a hundred times in three minutes; it was within two seconds."

"According to our information, Liu Yeqing can throw nine Willow Leaf Flying Knives in one second, but this time he used his coat to release all the knives in one go."

Long Ao explained professionally and then sighed, "Allowing Liu Yeqing such an opportunity is sheer stupidity to the utmost degree."

Taking turns being ridiculed, Fu Renjie, his face flushed, wanted to curse.

"Stop embarrassing yourself any further."

Wan Yong impatiently interrupted Fu Renjie, as this guy was embarrassing the Ming Group faction, being beaten so badly in his first match.

"The arena is cleared, will the next contestant please enter."

Qin Fang ignored the internal conflicts between the contestants, conducting everything according to the regulations.
