I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 254 If you insist on my opinion, then I think Tang Zhi is the clear winner.

The next morning, everyone got up early to prepare to watch the game.

We had breakfast together at nine o'clock in the morning, and arrived at the venue around nine-thirty.

The final number of participants was not large, exactly 32. They competed in one-on-one matches to determine 16 people, then went on to the quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals.

"Come on, you guys should be able to win, right? One champion and one runner-up?"

Liao Haomiao cheered on Zhou Heng and Tang Zhi. He himself couldn't play at all, but at least he could understand the game.

The remaining girls almost all couldn't understand it; perhaps only Yin Mengran could understand a little bit...

"I'm not sure, but there's someone who's really capable."

Zhou Heng raised his chin and pointed in one direction.

Everyone looked in that direction and saw a boy with a serious expression, looking around as if he were looking for someone.

After a while, the boy saw Zhou Heng and Tang Zhi. He fixed his gaze, narrowed his eyes, and frowned slightly.

Tang Zhi looked at Zhou Heng and asked, "So, who do you think is more capable, me or him?"

"You rock."

"I think so too."

The two nodded and stepped forward, ready to participate in the competition.

The others sat in the audience, and Zhu Tao even brought snacks, which she shared with the others.

"By the way, shall I show you the photos we're going to take this afternoon? What do you think?"

"Let me see, let me see..."

The girls figured they wouldn't understand anyway, so they might as well chat.

Zhou Heng and Tang Zhi walked towards the boy, and the boy also walked towards them.

After the three met, they stood there in silence for a while...

"Zhou Heng, is this the person you mentioned who's more capable than you?"

The boy pointed to Tang Zhi beside him, his eyebrows raised and lowered, and asked in confusion.

"Yes, her name is Tang Zhi, she's my sister."

"Oh? Hello, my name is Su Pengyi. You... you really know how to play?"

The boy looked at Tang Zhi, extended his hand, and wanted to shake hands with her in a friendly manner.

Tang Zhi merely glanced down at Su Pengyi's hand, without shaking it, and turned her head away, saying calmly:

"You'll find out whether you can play or not when the time comes."

"Ah..."

Su Pengyi sneered, withdrew his hand, looked at Tang Zhi with interest, nodded, and said:

"Okay, good luck! I'll be so disappointed if I don't see you in the finals. You're not going to fail to even make it to the semifinals, are you?"

Tang Zhi rolled her eyes, chuckled, and shrugged, saying, "Your ability to make sarcastic remarks is really weak."

"I..."

Su Pengyi suffered in silence and left.

The competition started quickly. The host first livened up the atmosphere by introducing the sponsors' advertisements.

Next, the competition officially began. The 32 participants took turns playing at several game machines below the final stage, according to the order they had drawn.

The games proceeded quickly, and soon 16 people were selected. Then, in the same way, numbers were drawn to determine the top 8.

Zhou Heng and Tang Zhi were quite lucky; they weren't drawn together, and they completely avoided being drawn against Su Pengyi.

Aside from those three, the other players weren't that skilled; some of them had even won the previous round by sheer luck.

After the intensity increased in this round, it became clear that they could no longer win the game by luck.

Yu Lingxue looked up and asked in surprise, "There are only 8 people left so quickly... Is this game difficult?"

"Whether the game is difficult or not depends on who your opponents are. If your opponents are those two, then it's definitely difficult."

Liao Haomiao shrugged. Although he couldn't see the screen showing the match below, he could see that Zhou Heng and Tang Zhi had only been seated for a short time before the game ended...

The other person was so badly beaten that they questioned their existence, and when they stood up to leave, they shook their head in disbelief.

What if we both draw each other's names?

Zhou Heng looked at Tang Zhi and asked.

The semi-finals are about to begin. If they are drawn together, only one of them can advance...

"Are you alright? It can't be that much of a coincidence."

Tang Zhi wasn't worried at all, just as if she didn't care about meeting Zhou Heng.

Ultimately, the numbers drawn by the two people did not match.

The semi-finals were quite intense, and Zhou Heng and Tang Zhi couldn't win so easily anymore; they had to put in a bit more effort.

However, the outcome remains a foregone conclusion.

Liao Haomiao squinted at the four people walking onto the stage and muttered, "Only four left?"

"Did they win?"

The others quickly looked up, their faces filled with anticipation as they gazed at the stage.

The four people standing on the stage at this moment were three men and one woman: Zhou Heng, Tang Zhi, and Su Pengyi.

There was another one, a chubby boy with glasses and greasy hair.

The four numbers scrolled on the big screen and eventually stopped. The result was that Zhou Heng was paired with Su Pengyi, and Tang Zhi was paired with the fat boy.

Su Pengyi chuckled upon seeing the result, then looked at Zhou Heng beside him and said:

"What a coincidence, I was hoping to see you in the finals."

Zhou Heng shrugged nonchalantly and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as we don't run into Tang Zhi, at least one person will make it to the finals. It's not a loss."

Su Pengyi frowned. This wasn't the first time Zhou Heng had mentioned how formidable Tang Zhi was.

But he still hasn't seen what Tang Zhi's strength is, or how powerful a girl can be.

In the first scene, Tang Zhi appeared on stage, while Zhou Heng and Su Pengyi stood below the stage, watching the big screen.

Su Pengyi watched very carefully, wanting to take this opportunity to see just how capable Tang Zhi really was.

During the semi-finals, there was commentary on site, and Yin Mengran and the others stopped chatting and focused intently on the scene ahead.

As soon as it officially began, Tang Zhi launched her attack, staring at the screen and controlling the joystick...

"Oh! The heavy kick was stopped by the heavy punch, that's good..."

"I pushed forward a bit...hey! I retreated to bait my opponent's rising dragon punch...and landed a combo..."

"Jump...into the air! Beautiful! Wow, Tang Zhi's basic skills are really good! Her reaction is incredibly fast!"

The commentators present seemed surprised by Tang Zhi's abilities, and they exclaimed in amazement.

Su Pengyi watched from below, his expression growing increasingly grim. He saw that Tang Zhi's attacks were extremely aggressive, each combo executed with remarkable fluidity...

This technique looks exactly like it was performed by her, yet it undeniably is...

"They've even taken precautions, really..."

Zhou Heng smiled helplessly and muttered something under his breath.

He'd fought Tang Zhi countless times; he could tell at a glance that this wasn't her usual fighting style—it was a tactic used to mislead her opponents...

Su Pengyi tilted his head, looked at Zhou Heng, and asked, "What do you think is the odds between me and Tang Zhi?"

Zhou Heng looked at Su Pengyi with a puzzled expression and said:

"I won't comment. If you insist on giving my opinion, I think Tang Zhibao will win, no matter the odds. Even if you have 9 and she has 1, she can still win."
