Even if you belong to a demonic sect, you still have to bring glory to the country.

Chapter 242 Delivered to her

"Mana, a bullseye!"

Admittedly, Mana's performance today was nothing short of phenomenal.

The second arrow earned a perfect score.

Leila, who was standing to the side, also breathed a sigh of relief.

If Mana can continue to play this well today...

Thinking this, she watched as Guan Yuyuan drew his bow and shot the second ring.

"Guan Yuyuan, Nine Rings!"

Leila's eyelids twitched suddenly.

That's it again.

The first time was on the Third Ring Road, the second time it was closer to the center.

Where did this freak come from?
The key point is that there's absolutely no way to cheat in this kind of archery; under the watchful eyes of everyone, you have to rely entirely on your own skills.

Even the production team, aside from setting the competition format, couldn't interfere with the outcome of the competition.

Leila prayed.

Mana must win! Mana absolutely cannot lose!
If Mana loses, the consequences are unimaginable.

When Mana heard about Guan Yuyuan's second result, her heart jumped.

Her heart started racing again.

Mana shook her head. No, she couldn't pay attention to her.

But Guan Yuyuan's condition is getting better and better.

She used her internal energy to roughly stabilize the bullseye, then knew which direction to shoot in. She activated her internal energy, letting the wind guide her intuition, and drew her bow to shoot again.

"Nine rings!"

This 70-meter target is still very difficult for her.

Even with internal force, it's still easy to become unstable.

But maintaining a score of nine is already a very good result.

Guan Yuyuan thought so, but in other people's eyes, what was the difference between her and a monster?
She's just an ordinary person!

Mana's third archery attempt revealed some promising signs.

On her third attempt, she only managed to get eight rings.

Guan Yuyuan, however, became increasingly stable.

"Nine rings, nine rings, eight rings, ten rings, nine rings, eight rings..."

"Mana, eight rings, seven rings, eight rings... seven rings, seven rings..."

Leila's face suddenly darkened.

broken.

Mana was still severely affected.

in case……

If only we could decide the winner in one go.

If it weren't for those later opportunities, she wouldn't have been affected at all!
But that's impossible. If we don't give amateurs a chance to get used to things and just decide the winner with one shot, it would be so unfair that it would be despised. Even if we won, there would be no benefit to it.

Mana began to realize something was wrong when she noticed her condition deteriorating.

The stable numbers next to her only highlighted her seriously unstable mentality. Although she did not shoot an outrageous score, she was still two rings short of Guan Yuyuan's score after the total score was calculated.

Two rings!

Only two rings!

She lost.

"boom."

At that moment, Mana fell to the ground, her face deathly pale, completely unable to maintain her composure.

Even when she failed to win the championship and had to retire with regret, she never suffered such a blow.

She has retired, so she hasn't trained for a long time.

Therefore, her performance is not as good as it was at her peak. She can find countless reasons for herself.

But no amount of reasons can cover up the fact that Guan Yuyuan never participated in the competition.

She, a retired Olympic professional athlete, lost to an amateur.

Leila's side was deathly silent, while the Chinese celebrities' side erupted in screams.

"Holy crap, that's awesome!!"

"Oh my god, Guan Yuyuan, you're amazing! You beat the Olympic athletes, oh my god!!"

Zhou Jiao screamed and rushed over to hug Guan Yuyuan.

At this moment, no one comforted Mana.

Didn't she, an Olympic athlete, know the potential consequences of bullying an ordinary athlete?
They've seen how they've behaved these past few days; they still look down on the people of China.

They'd be a fool to give them face.

You deserved to lose!
They come to bully others and act arrogant and conceited, only to be humiliated in the end. The satisfaction they get is indescribable.

Guan Yuyuan pursed her lips, not embarrassed at all. She glanced at Mana, whose lips were pale on the ground, and smiled frankly: "I did my best."

She used her internal energy, but she still managed to shoot like this.

If Mana had a better mindset, she wouldn't have won either.

But thankfully, it's alright.

All she could say was that Mana was unlucky.

If only she could hold it in—

However, if she could keep it up, she wouldn't be on this show in the first place.

Mana completely broke down and couldn't hold back her emotions. Actress Jiang Linglong tried to comfort Mana, but Mana didn't appreciate it. She shook off Jiang Linglong's hand and ran away, not even caring about the rest of the recording.

Her eyes still looked a little red.

This blow to her was nothing short of devastating.

The production team also looked grim. Although that wasn't their real intention, they couldn't let Mana be too willful, so they sent Leila to persuade Mana to come back.

Jiang Linglong didn't care.

Anyway, she's not the one who's this angry.

Even though she wasn't in her group and didn't get first place, Jiang Linglong still gave Guan Yuyuan a thumbs up to show that she did a good job.

When the recording ended that evening, Zhou Jiao couldn't wait to call Li Sui and tell her about it.

"Oh my god, did you see how ugly Mana looked when she was finally persuaded to come back? She was still throwing a tantrum at us. In the end, she probably got a warning from the production team, and she took a photo with us with a sour face."

Since the show will be broadcast at the end, it can't be too bad, right?

Li Sui sighed, "Is this person's mental fortitude really that bad?"

Zhou Jiao was now blunt: "So you deserve to lose the championship? You lost and you're still throwing a tantrum, what kind of logic is that?"

“It’s shameless for an athlete who has retired from the Olympics to come and compete against us. If she had any sense of shame, she would never have agreed to the program. I didn’t expect her to lose.” Zhou Jiao was overjoyed and hadn’t stopped smiling all day: “I can already imagine what people will say about her after the program airs. You didn’t see the assistant director’s face at the time. It was all very interesting.”

This show was already rigged, and now that the Chinese stars have won in the first episode, you can imagine what other tricks the production team will pull next.

Zhou Jiao also speculated: "I guess they will continue to shamelessly invite more professional athletes to compete against us, under the guise of just promoting the sport. If you really want to promote it, why don't you let those champions lose to us as a way to make up for it?"

They want people to help promote their products, and they also want people to lose badly.

There is no such truth.

Li Sui thought about it and guessed it was true: "It's like Guan Yu and Yuan Yu ran into each other while competing in archery."

After all, she had at least some experience with archery before, so she certainly had a fighting chance.

Zhou Jiao said, "I don't know what the next episode's event will be yet. I estimate the difficulty will be similar to archery. It's already amazing that Yu Yuan won this episode. I just don't know if any coaches will actually take a liking to Yu Yuan and let her compete after the show airs?"

Li Sui chuckled: "She won't go."

Zhou Jiao: "Why? She's very talented at archery."

Li Sui: "...It's hard for me to explain to you. She's actually very unstable. I can only say that Mana is really unlucky. And if the program team had chosen a better project—maybe the contestants from other countries who were competing against you would have been really unlucky too."

If it were a competition like embroidery, Guan Yuyuan would be truly helpless.

Whenever there's a physically demanding task, it's practically handed to her.
