Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 458: Betty Breaks the Stick (-word chapter)

In response to Betty's question, Lin Yuan would definitely not give such a greasy and corny answer as saying, "What's the difference between giving you the money and putting it in my own pocket?"

It is true that the relationship between the two is quite close, but Lin Yuan still likes to maintain the necessary sense of boundaries and keep public and private affairs separate.

Instead of mixing public and private matters, as this will sooner or later cause problems in the relationship between the two.

Love cannot solve all problems.

Lin Yuan smiled and replied, "I really hope you get the prize money, because that would be the best outcome for the tournament."

"I understand. If I can get this prize money, the whole world will pay attention to this competition, whether they like kendo or not," Betty replied.

If Betty can defeat Lin Yuan in tonight's match, she will get a super bonus of 2 million US dollars.

What kind of communication effect will this incident have once it is reported in the news?
There is no need to guess, it must have completely ignited public opinion around the world.

No one can ignore this myth of super wealth that came from winning a $2 million prize by participating in a kendo tournament.

Regardless of gender, age, nationality or region, as long as people know the news, they will definitely discuss this matter and pay attention to this event.

In this way, if the second Kendo Tournament is held tomorrow, even if the prize money is restored to 1 million US dollars, it will still attract countless people to participate, and the popularity of the event will even far exceed this one.

This is what Lin Yuan said, why he hoped Betty would take the prize money.

If Betty can take home the prize money, it will be a great thing for both her and the event, and it will definitely be a win-win situation.

But the question is, can Betty defeat Lin Yuan?
If the competition follows normal rules, Betty would not have any chance of winning. Even if three or four players came together, they would have no chance of winning.

Lin Yuan once easily defeated the combined forces of the Three Swordsmen, which proved this point.

But if all the contestants have no hope when challenging Lin Yuan, then no matter how much the prize money is, it will not be attractive.

This is why Lin Yuan proposed to modify the duel rules for a while.

The modification of the duel rules must make everyone feel: I have the possibility of defeating Lin Yuan, and the probability is not low.

This is the only way to maximize everyone's enthusiasm and increase the appeal of this ultimate showdown.

After figuring everything out, Betty said, "Don't release the water for a while."

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Everyone is watching. If I go easy on you this year and then show no mercy to the others next year, the reputation of the tournament will be ruined."

In the face of such huge interests, any small flaw in fairness may be infinitely magnified.

Lin Yuan certainly understood the interests involved, and he had to give it his all today.

If Betty wants to take the bonus, she must stand the test of everyone and leave everyone speechless.

"I'm going to rest and prepare. I'll try my best later." After saying that, Betty and Lin Yuan hugged each other gently and turned to return to their lounge.

At this time, GAKKI came to Lin Yuan's side and asked: "Have you finished communicating with Miss Adams?"

"Well, if she doesn't explain it clearly, I'm worried that she won't try her best later." Lin Yuan replied.

"The staff just reported that the ratings for the showdown between Ms. Adams and Fido exceeded 80%," said GAKKI.

"It seems that our estimate is still conservative. Will the ratings increase in the future?" Lin Yuan asked.

GAKKI nodded. "The ratings are continuing to rise, especially your showdown with Miss Adams soon. It's going to be really interesting. If your final showdown is with Fido, the attention might be lower. The public is obviously more interested in seeing Miss Adams versus you."

Lin Yuan certainly understood this principle. Feiduo was a man, and no matter how strong he was, he wasn't as strong as Lin Yuan. A duel between two men with such a huge disparity in strength wasn't very exciting.

But Betty is completely different. Such a beautiful young lady is facing off against the powerful Lin Yuan.

The public's curiosity and gossip were immediately piqued. Would Lin Yuan be ruthless in front of Betty? Or would he bow down to her and let her go?

Isn't this topicality and watchability several levels higher than a duel between two men?
"If the final ratings exceed 90%, we will have created a miracle," said GAKKI.

Lin Yuan smiled and replied, "We have already created a miracle, so let nature take its course in the end."

"Now it's your turn to get ready to go on stage." GAKKI continued.

Hearing her words, Lin Yuan asked with a bitter face: "Can we discuss whether we can not wear that chuuni outfit?"

"Of course not! I've spent so much money, wouldn't it be a waste not to wear it?"

It was rare that GAKKI-chan refused to give in, so Lin Yuan had no choice but to follow her to the backstage lounge to change into tonight's formal attire.

At this time, the heated atmosphere in the stadium remained undiminished, and all the spectators were waiting for the final match.

A man in a black kendo uniform walked to the center of the arena.

Seeing this man, many viewers immediately laughed out loud:
"Meng Tao? He's the man who always appears in Lin Yuan's behind-the-scenes footage! I want to laugh when I see him."

"Why is he here?"

"It seems he's appearing as a temporary host. I'm curious what he's planning to do this time."

Meng Tao stood in the middle of the arena, holding the microphone and said loudly: "Long time no see, I miss you so much."

There was an immediate burst of laughter at the scene, and many people booed in response.

"I am the host of tonight's ultimate showdown, Meng Tao. Before this showdown begins, please allow me to introduce this showdown to everyone." Meng Tao said.

"First of all, the prize money for this match is 2 million US dollars. The original initial prize money was 1 million US dollars, but as Mr. Lin Yuan made an exception and paid out of his own pocket, it was increased to 2 million US dollars." When Meng Tao said this again, he emphasized the word "exception" and it was quite clear.

The ultimate prize for this competition is $2 million, but that may not be the case next time because it is an "exception."

If we make this point clear, we will be able to attack or defend, leaving room for maneuver.

Next time you can continue to make an exception or return to normal, which will make things easier.

Meng Tao was stacking up, but the audience at the scene was obviously more concerned about the "US$2 million".

Hearing this number, many people sighed:

"This is simply an astronomical sum of money. I can't spend it all in my lifetime, right?"

"You're planning on spending it all in ten lifetimes? What a spendthrift you are! If you had a fortune like that, you'd never be able to spend it all."

"How is that possible? Doesn't money eventually run out? No matter how much money you have, it will eventually run out."

"I can tell you've never gotten rich overnight. Money can make money. Properly allocate your assets and let the money grow on its own. You can even sit back and enjoy life just by earning interest."

"It's hard to imagine how huge a fortune $2 million is."

Meng Tao in the center of the field seemed to have guessed what everyone was thinking.

He smiled and pulled a brand new dollar from his pocket.

100 face value.

He held the US dollar and shook it hard a few times, making a "rustling" sound.

"It's simply heavenly music. Is there anyone who doesn't like this old man with a high hairline?"

The old man with a high hairline refers to the person printed on the $100 bill: Benjamin Franklin.

Hearing Meng Tao's words, the audience burst into laughter, and many people shouted:

"How could I not like him? He is the most attractive man in the world!"

Meng Tao obviously heard this. He smiled and raised the banknote in his hand and said, "You have good taste. I'll have the staff give this piece of paper to you later."

After hearing this, the atmosphere at the scene became even more heated, and many people began to cheer.

Seeing this scene, GAKKI nodded. Meng Tao is really good at livening up the atmosphere. It is a wise choice to choose him as the host tonight.

But this was just the beginning. Meng Tao continued, "This dollar bill in my hand is 15.6 centimeters long, 6.63 centimeters wide, 0.11 millimeters thick, and weighs only 1.05 grams, yet it's already so captivating. So, with $ million, there are two million of these treasures. How astonishing would that be?"

After hearing Meng Tao's words, many viewers immediately began to associate and think.

When talking about a huge sum of money like $2 million, most people think of a string of numbers with a lot of zeros, but cannot intuitively feel how much the money is.

Meng Tao smiled and said, "Everyone, look at the big screen. This is the $2 million in cash we have prepared in the vault."

On the big screen, the heavy door of the bank's vault opened with a "clang!"

In the vault is a "mountain of US dollars" made up of countless $100 bills.

Meng Tao smiled and introduced: "This is $2 million, weighing 2.1 tons. It is really inconvenient to carry, so I will present it to you in this way."

"Tonight, as long as Miss Adams can defeat Lin Yuan, she can take away so much money!"

When the audience saw so many bundles of US dollars in front of them instead of just a string of cold numbers, their enthusiasm was ignited.

At this moment, it seemed as if they were Betty, who was about to challenge Lin Yuan and win the huge sum of money.

"Down with Lin Yuan! Down with Lin Yuan!"

"Betty will win! Betty will win!"

"That's so much money, even if you gave it to me, I can't move it by myself."

"What are you thinking? You want everything. You're so greedy. I just want a small corner, and I'll be completely satisfied."

"But Lin Yuan is so strong, how can we really defeat him? No matter how much money this is, it can't be seen or touched."

Meng Tao smiled and said, "Some people must be thinking that if we can't defeat Lin Yuan, this money will just be a fleeting thought, right?"

Seeing quite a few people nodding enthusiastically, Meng Tao continued, "Then please allow me to introduce the rules of tonight's game."

"Do the rules need to be introduced? Are they different from the rules of previous competitions?" This thought flashed through the minds of all the audience.

"In this duel, Lin Yuan will use a specially made weapon. Everyone, please look at the big screen."

On the big screen, an image of a thin stick appeared.

This stick is about 100cm long. The stick body seems to be divided into sections by something like bamboo joints, and there are several thick flocs at the head of the stick.

Is this... a reed?

Meng Tao smiled and said, "Yes, this is just an ordinary reed. Lin Yuan will use this reed to fight Miss Adams later."

"In this duel, if the reed stem breaks, Lin Yuan will lose the game directly." Meng Tao continued.

When they heard his words, the scene immediately became lively.

Because the rules announced by Meng Tao were extremely difficult for Lin Yuan.

If you want the reed to not break, it means that the reed cannot collide with Betty's knife in any way.

When Betty swung her knife to attack, Lin Yuan could not block and could only dodge.

When Lin Yuan attacks, he cannot touch Betty's knife, otherwise the reed will still break.

How can we fight like this?
After watching so many days of competition, the audience has become quite familiar with kendo.

They all knew that Lin Yuan's rule was no less than tying their own hands and feet.

Thinking of this, the audience felt that Betty really had a chance of winning this time.

It seems that Lin Yuan really intends to take out this bonus?
Meng Tao continued, "The competition venue will be a small one, 7 meters long and meters wide."

After hearing Meng Tao's words, the audience became even more crazy.

We are already using reeds, why do we want to increase the difficulty?
The length of the kendo competition is usually 9 meters * 11 meters, but now it has been reduced to 7 * 7 meters, which means that Lin Yuan has even less room to turn and dodge.

Betty could more easily catch him and force him to fight with the knife.

"One last point, the match is only two minutes long. Lin Yuan must score at least five points to win."

When Meng Tao said the last rule, the audience was completely speechless.

Every rule is pushing Lin Yuan to death.

The outcome will be decided in one game, and Lin Yuan must score at least 5 points?
This is equivalent to forcing Lin Yuan to take the initiative to attack, and it must be a very active attack.

This locked out most of Lin Yuan's tactical options, leaving him with only one option.

The question is, is it beneficial for Lin Yuan to just attack?

Obviously disadvantageous.

Lin Yuan, who was forced to attack all the time, would make it easy for Betty to seize the opportunity and secure victory with one move.

This scene appeared in the eyes of all the audience:
Betty launched an attack recklessly. In the endless flash of swords, Lin Yuan was caught in a panic.

Not only did he have to dodge Betty's knife, but he also had to prevent the reed in his hand from being hit. It was even more difficult than a bare-handed duel.

"Okay, now that the rules have been introduced, the competition is about to begin." Meng Tao said with a smile.

When all the rules were introduced, the audience immediately started a heated discussion.

Everyone basically agreed that Lin Yuan was courting death and that he was actively trying to give the money away.

The players watching the game were also having heated discussions:
"Do we have any chance of winning against Master Lin Yuan if we fight him this way?" Zhang Long asked.

"I don't know, but under these rules I feel I have a chance of winning. I really hope that I will be the one competing on the stage. If I win this prize money, I can retire immediately." said Kakun.

"You are only 19 years old and you want to retire?" Miyamoto Toshihiko said contemptuously.

"I still don't believe that Master Lin Yuan will lose. He has never lost anything he dared to do in the past." Fedor Emelianenko shook his head.

"Then let's wait for the result. Under these rules, there is no more suitable challenger than Miss Adams. If she can't win, there will be no hope for us to take over." said Kamiizumi Saisao.

Hearing the old swordsman's words, everyone nodded.

When Lin Yuan uses reeds, it means that the attribute of strength is no longer important.

Because fighting with swords, breaking with force and other means can no longer be used.

In this situation, the better the challenger's swordsmanship and the more tricks and routines he has, the greater the pressure on Lin Yuan.

From this perspective, Betty, who is rated as a six-star swordsman, is undoubtedly the best candidate.

"I didn't expect Lin Yuan to accept the challenge in this way. It's really exciting. The regret of not being able to challenge him in person seems to have been made up now." Fedor Emelianenko said.

"Look, both teams are coming out to compete," said Zhang Long.

Everyone looked towards the center of the arena and saw the two teams competing tonight coming to the center of the arena.

The first one to come out was Betty. She was wearing a white kendo uniform that stretched with her body. The kendo uniform was simple and neat. Her face was soft but sharp, like the sword edge in her peach blossom eyes, gentle and firm.

Her long golden hair was simply tied behind her head, with a few strands of hair gently fluttering in front of her forehead, adding a touch of casual charm.

This look immediately drew applause from the audience.

No matter where you are, beautiful things always get more preference.

When Lin Yuan appeared on stage, all the audience were stunned.

Tonight, Lin Yuan was not wearing a traditional Japanese kendo uniform, but a sky-blue satin uniform with cloud python patterns and flying fish!

The entire Feiyu suit is made of the finest brocade. The silk is bright and brilliant in color, as beautiful as the clouds in the sky. You can tell at a glance that the material is extraordinary.

What is even more astonishing is that the embroidered satin is decorated with extremely exquisite gold thread, making this flying fish suit look extremely... expensive.

Visibly expensive.

Even if you have no knowledge of Chinese culture, when you see Lin Yuan's Feiyu suit, if you are asked to guess the price, you will at least think from the bottom of your heart that it will cost at least six figures, right?
In fact, the suit cost... $100 million.

Although the shape is that of a flying fish robe, the craftsmanship and materials used are at the level of making top-level dragon robes.

When Lin Yuan, who was already tall and handsome, came out wearing such clothes, he immediately caught the attention of all the audience.

Both men and women were stunned by the outfit.

"Oh my god, there are such beautiful clothes! Lin Yuan looks so handsome in this one. I really want to marry him! No, even if it's just for one night, I'll be satisfied."

"I'm a man, but I also think this suit is really handsome. I wish I could try it on if I had the chance!"

"You see it on the big screen, it's made of brocade, with gold weaving and embroidery techniques. Ordinary people like us can't afford to wear clothes like this, and we don't know how to clean and maintain them. If you dare to wash them with water or rub them with your hands, the gold threads will immediately break and the clothes will fade and lose their luster."

"Lin Yuan plans to wear this to the competition? It's so... gorgeous!"

Faced with the amazement of the audience, Lin Yuan also felt a little helpless.

Given his personality, he would never wear such extravagant and flashy clothes. They are too ostentatious.

However, the organizing committee insisted on doing so because it would increase the topic and leave an indelible and deep memory in the minds of the audience.

They insist on achieving perfection in every detail so as to leave a perfect event.

As a hands-off boss, Lin Yuan must respect everyone's opinions, so he put on this excellent and shameful dragon robe craft version of the "Flying Fish Costume".

At this moment, judging from the feedback from the audience, we have to say that the organizing committee did the right thing.

Indeed, as Lin Yuan appeared in this outfit, the atmosphere on the scene immediately became more heated.

The staff also gestured to indicate that the current ratings have officially exceeded 90%, creating a ratings miracle in the past three decades.

That is to say, there is no online shopping now, but in the future, a large number of high, medium and low-end versions of the same flying fish suits of various grades will be put on the shelves on major e-commerce platforms tomorrow.

When Betty saw Lin Yuan's outfit, her eyes lit up. She couldn't help but whispered, "Come to me later wearing this outfit."

"Is this considered uniform temptation?" Lin Yuan asked with a smile.

The two spoke quietly so that only they could hear it.

"Well, I want you to work in this suit." Betty's eyes were almost thready.

"This suit is very expensive and easy to damage." Lin Yuan said.

"I have money! I'll buy ten sets of different styles for you to wear in turn." Betty said with a smile.

Discussing this topic in front of so many people actually gives me a unique sense of taboo excitement.

Who could have imagined that this mature and charming Betty was actually a cold woman who had no feelings about matters between men and women?

At this time, the referee came forward and raised his hand to signal that the game was about to begin.

The big screen displayed information from both teams:
[Betty Adams VS Lin Yuan]

Seeing this scene, the audience began to shout:
"Betty will win! Betty will win!"

"Come on, Miss Adams! You must win!"

"Defeat Lin Yuan! Lin Yuan will definitely lose!"

Hearing the audience's unanimous and one-sided support for Betty, Lin Yuan also found this experience quite interesting.

Over the past few years, he has long been accustomed to the audience's love and mindless support for him, but this was obviously changed tonight.

Everyone hoped that Betty could defeat them and win the huge prize of 2 million US dollars. In addition, Betty was indeed likable enough, so the audience temporarily "rebelled".

The public doesn’t really dislike Lin Yuan, but they also want to see him eat a little bit occasionally.

What's that sentence called?

The deeper the pink, the darker it becomes. With so many reasons tonight, everyone just went along with it and blackened Lin Yuan.

The first thing that was shown on the big screen was Betty's information:

[Name: Betty Adams]

【Gender: Female】

【Height: 1.75 meters】

[Weight: 58 kg]

[Strength: ★★☆]

【Agility: ★★★★☆】

Physical Fitness: ★★★☆

Swordsmanship: ★★★★★★

[Basic Sword Moves: 36/36]

【Basic Changes: 25/25】

[Advanced Sword Moves: 14/18]

[Advanced Moves: 14/14]

Compared with Lin Yuan's information, this information seems quite ridiculous.

【Name: Lin Yuan】

[Age: 22 years old]

【Sex: Male】

【Height: 1.88 meters】

[Weight: 78 kg]

【strength:? ? ? ? 】

【agile:? ? ? ? 】

【Physical Fitness: ???】

【fencing:????】

【Basic Sword Moves: ???】

【Basic move: ???】

[Advanced Sword Move: ??? ???]

【Advanced move: ???】

Except for age, height and weight, all the data given by the organizing committee are question marks.

This kind of expression full of Japanese-style second-year mentality made Lin Yuan feel quite ashamed.

But when in Rome, do as the Romans do. There's nothing you can do about it. The Japanese just like to hide their big devil.

Question mark, equivalent to no health bar.

It's like a certain bald devil, no one can ever figure out his true self.

This is what it means to be unfathomable, full of style, and invincible.

You may not accept Japanese-style second-year studies, but they are easy to understand.

The two of them came to the center of the arena, and Betty's posture of holding a knife in both hands immediately surprised the audience.

Is this the new dual-wield style?
"Isn't this the new dual-sword style that Master Lin Yuan just taught you? Can she be stronger with the dual-sword style than with a single sword?" Shangquanzhai asked directly.

Miyamoto Toshihiko shook his head: "For Miss Adams, using a single sword is definitely more effective."

"Then she also uses dual swords?"

"Because of the rules of today's duel, no matter how good your swordsmanship is, it is not as effective as having an extra knife in front of Master Lin Yuan." Miyamoto Toshihiko replied.

This is really the truth.

Anyway, Lin Yuan couldn't block or parry, so using another knife to block his escape space was definitely the best option.

Betty chose to use dual swords today, which immediately made the audience outside the field and the spectators inside the field feel that she was more stable.

Lin Yuan, with a calm expression, put the fluffy horsetail at the top of the reed into the red powder prepared on the side.

As it turned, the reed fluff was covered with red powder.

Because Lin Yuan used reeds, Betty did not wear protective gear and was only wearing a white kendo robe.

If Lin Yuan's reed hit Betty, red powder would clearly mark the impact location on her white kendo robe.

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle to start the game.

"Come on! Miss Adams!" As the game began, a large number of enthusiastic spectators stood up from their chairs and excitedly cheered for Betty.

Betty crossed her two swords in front of her. She stepped forward quickly and swung the two swords in opposite directions.

"Cross cut!"

Unlike the cross slash used with a single sword, the simultaneous swing of Betty's two swords should actually be called the "X-shaped slash".

The two diagonal strikes of the sword blocked Lin Yuan's escape space to the greatest extent.

This was the most suitable fighting style that Betty had determined when she first chose the dual swords.

She did not hide it, nor did she save it and was reluctant to use it. She used this most sharp attack method to attack Lin Yuan directly.

At this time, Lin Yuan was in a dilemma.

He couldn't block, had difficulty dodging, and couldn't even fight back.

Facing Betty who came up and scored the winning goal, Lin Yuan was not panicked at all. Instead of advancing, he retreated, took a quick step forward and squatted down.

"X-shaped Slash" cannot perfectly block all dodge routes because there is a gap directly below.

It’s just that this gap can only be seized by rushing forward and squatting.

Most people would want to step back or block instinctively when they see their opponent's sharp blade, but would never dare to rush towards the enemy's blade.

Lin Yuan rushed forward and squatted, dodging Betty's "X-shaped slash" while not forgetting to "thrust!"

The reed in his hand stabbed out like lightning, leaving a red mark on Betty's left rib.

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle and raised his hand, indicating that Lin Yuan scored.

Everyone was stunned by this result.

I didn’t expect Lin Yuan to counterattack and score so quickly?

The stab just now seemed simple, but in the eyes of professional players, they knew the value of this stab.

"The timing for this strike is too difficult to grasp. I can't do it." Fedor Emelianenko said seriously.

"If you can't do it, then there's nothing we can do," Kakun replied.

"Watching Teacher Lin Yuan's sword skills is like looking at a peak hidden in the clouds. You will never know how high the teacher's sword skills are. Every time you get to know the teacher a little better, you will find that what you see is actually the foot of the mountain." Shangquanzhaizhi sighed.

After hearing what Kamiizumi Sainao said, all the professional players present nodded in agreement.

What Lin Yuan held in his hand was a reed, not a samurai sword. If it broke, he would be considered a failure.

Therefore, while dodging, he must also strictly evaluate the timing of striking out with the sword at that moment.

If you attack too early, it will directly collide with Betty's katana and be cut off.

If it was too late, Betty would have already finished her move and could have cut off the reed before Lin Yuan could retract it.

According to the evaluation of professional players on the scene, the window time for Lin Yuan's knife attack was definitely less than 0.2 seconds.

It is a miracle that we can seize this window period which is almost the limit of human reaction speed.

The average human reaction speed is between 200 milliseconds and 300 milliseconds. Those with good talent and professional training can reach about 150 milliseconds.

What those professional players didn’t know was that Lin Yuan had already broken this limit.

For Lin Yuan, who has 26 points of agility, the reaction speed has been increased to 50 milliseconds.

Looking at this data alone, many people have no idea.

But many people know that cats have extremely fast reaction speeds. They can jump up to stop a bird flying at high speed, swat a fly with their paws, and easily avoid the lightning attacks of snakes.

The cat's neural reaction speed is between 50 and 70 milliseconds.

At this time, Lin Yuan's reaction speed was comparable to that of the most agile cat.

It is 3 to 4 times that of ordinary humans.

In front of Lin Yuan, an ordinary person's sword-drawing was like slow motion and posed no threat at all.

Lin Yuan's thrust obviously exceeded Betty's expectations and greatly affected her confidence.

Betty was a little distressed. She was originally worried that Lin Yuan would let her win, but now she was starting to worry that she would be completely defeated. That would be too embarrassing.

After thinking about it, Betty decided to change her fighting style. She held both swords horizontally, with her arms 50cm apart.

Seeing her take this stance, Zhang Long in the audience immediately cheered: "Slashing with two swords, as long as you control the distance well, Master Lin Yuan will have nowhere to hide."

"Good idea! Use both swords at the same time, one to chop at the thigh, about 70 centimeters high, and the other to chop at the chest and abdomen, about 130 centimeters high. There will be no room to dodge. Unless Master Lin Yuan doesn't care about his face and burrows into the ground. In this way, even if he dodges the sword, he will lose face." Fedor Emelianenko replied.

"Can't you just jump up and dodge the knife?" asked Toshihiko Miyamoto.

Kakun sighed and patted his shoulder. "If you're practicing swordplay, try playing basketball when you have time. Don't be so clueless. Without a running start, an average person can jump 50cm vertically from a standing position. If a professional basketball player can reach 80cm, that's considered a very good jump."

He didn't finish the second half of the sentence: 130cm vertical jump?

Are you a kangaroo or a human?

Therefore, no one thought about it at all.

When Betty swung both swords horizontally and slashed at the same time, she smiled again.

This time, she was confident that she could at least hit Lin Yuan and recover the point she had just lost.

But the next moment, she was stunned.

"Oh!"

Lin Yuan exerted force with his legs and jumped upwards.

Betty felt that Lin Yuan in front of her was like a rocket launching, leaping vertically upwards.

The height he jumped was 140cm!

Not only did he jump to an extremely high height, but after Lin Yuan's body reached the highest point, it paused for half a second as if time was prohibited before falling down.

What kind of magical bounce is this?
Not only did he jump so high, but the accusation also took so long?

With this leap as fast as pulling an onion out of dry land, Lin Yuan avoided Betty's double-knife blockade and stabbed out with a quick sword, leaving another red mark on Betty's left shoulder.

The referee blew the whistle, indicating that Lin Yuan scored another point.

Faced with this scene, everyone present fell silent.

The originally fierce and high-spirited shouts also stopped.

Is there a spring under Lin Yuan’s feet?

Otherwise, how could humans jump so high?

"I'm desperate. Is this how we have to fight? Just now I said that I really hope I can be the one to challenge Master Lin Yuan and chase the $2 million prize. Now I realize that I was narrow-minded. This money has no chance for me at all." Kakun said.

"There's nothing I can do. If I were on the court, I would probably give up and admit defeat," said Zhang Long.

"Look, it seems that Miss Adams still doesn't want to give up?" said Toshihiko Miyamoto.

Betty was not discouraged even though she lost another point.

Instead, he chopped with all his might, but kept the other knife in reserve.

"Kasaya Slash", this oblique slashing knife was easily avoided by Lin Yuan.

Betty saw one knife miss, and the other one stabbed straight out.

This move obviously won't work, and Lin Yuan can dodge it easily.

But this time Lin Yuan did not dodge. Instead, he put the reed in his left hand, and stretched out his right hand like lightning, grabbing the blade that Betty was stabbing at him!
At this scene, all the audience stood up from their chairs nervously, for they were afraid to see red blood flowing out from Lin Yuan's palm.

I was even more afraid that Lin Yuan’s fingers would be cut off.

"Ah! Crazy! Won't my hands get cut like this?" Kakun shouted.

"What if my finger is cut off?" Zhang Long was also quite nervous.

"Medical team, get ready!" Shangquan Zhaizhi shouted.

"Look carefully, Lin Yuan's hand is not directly on the blade." Fedor Emelianenko said.

Everyone looked carefully and found that Lin Yuan was actually using his thumb and index finger to firmly grip the back of the knife, stopping Betty's knife.

What is this like walking into a sword with bare hands?

It's even more outrageous than "taking without a knife".

Zhang Long had read martial arts novels before, and there were descriptions of people using their telepathic fingers to clamp their opponent's blades. He thought it was just an exaggeration in the novels.

But in reality, can Lin Yuan really do it?

In fact, Lin Yuan's movements were too fast just now, and no one could see his movements clearly.

With his super fast nerve reaction speed, it was not difficult for Lin Yuan to reach out and grab the back of the knife.

The really difficult part was the way he pinched the back of his hand and swung the blade quickly to absorb Betty's straight thrust, causing the katana to stop.

The real essence of this move is to perform the three actions of pinching the knife, releasing the force, and stopping in an instant.

"Still fighting?" Lin Yuan asked with a smile.

He originally thought Betty would be very upset, but unexpectedly Betty smiled and said, "I won!"

"Are you dreaming?" Lin Yuan asked in confusion.

"Look at your position," Betty said.

Lin Yuan looked around and found that he was currently located in the upper right corner of the square playing field. He was blocked on both sides and had nowhere to move, and was also blocked in front by Betty.

"Did you deliberately lead me to this position?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Yes, it took a lot of effort. I knew long ago that those attacks were no threat to you. Only by forcing you into this position can I have a chance of winning." Betty replied.

"But even if I'm trapped in a blind spot, you still can't hit me." Lin Yuan asked puzzledly.

"Yeah, you can't hit it normally, but what about this?"

The next moment, in front of Lin Yuan's surprised eyes, Betty opened her arms, holding a samurai sword in one hand, and walked towards him defenselessly.

She didn't attack with her knife, she just walked forward.

"F*CK! Is this still possible?" Kakun immediately saw through Betty's intention.

"What is Miss Adams doing?" Zhang Long asked in confusion.

"Go over there, go straight to Master Lin Yuan, and break the reed in his hand." Kakun explained.

"If we walk over like this defenselessly, won't we be attacked by Lin Yuan?" Zhang Long continued to ask.

Kakun rolled his eyes and gave her a look that said, "You're really honest." "Master Lin Yuan is holding a reed. He can't knock out Miss Adams. At most, he'll get hit a few times, which will only mean a few points. As long as she can break Lin Yuan's reed, she'll win immediately. She doesn't need to worry about losing points at all."

"Then Master Lin Yuan won't run away?" Zhang Long asked.

"How can he run? He's cornered. Miss Adams has a katana in each hand. With both arms outstretched like that, how can Master Lin Yuan escape? I suspect Miss Adams chose the dual-sword style in the first place just to block the path right now."

Betty is 1 meters tall and has an arm span of almost the same length. Combined with the 75cm blade length of her two samurai swords, the distance they can reach is close to 60 meters.

Lin Yuan, who was forced to death in the upper right corner, really had no way to escape.

Lin Yuan sighed helplessly, showing an expression that said you are so cruel, and he did not attack Betty again.

Instead, he watched her move closer to him, their bodies almost touching.

Then Betty reached out and grasped the reed directly, as if she had grasped a stick countless times.

With Betty's smile full of ulterior motives, she folded it downwards with force.

"Crack!" A sound was heard and the reed was broken.

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle to end the game, indicating that Betty won.

The audience immediately burst into cheers.

This means that the $2 million prize has finally been awarded to a winner, and this record-breaking prize has finally been awarded.

"But does this count as cheating? Miss Adams did break the reed, but she didn't do it in actual combat," Zhang Long asked.

Fedor Emelianenko shook his head. "It can only be considered as exploiting a loophole in the rules."

"Did they discuss this?" Kakun asked.

"Probably not. It seems like a spur-of-the-moment strategy from Miss Adams, but we have to admit, this outcome is the best." Fedor Emelianenko said, "The prizes have been awarded, and everyone wants to see this. And no one will really think that Master Lin Yuan lost."

"Of course not. In this match, Master Lin Yuan showed extreme dodging, inhuman jumping ability, and the ability to fight against swords with his bare hands. Each of these is amazing. As long as you have eyes, you will not think that he lost. With the current result, everyone will only think that he is graceful and took the initiative to let Miss Adams get the prize." Zhang Long said.

"I am now very curious about how Ms. Adams will handle this huge bonus," said Fedor Emelianenko.

As Fedor Emelianenko said, this huge bonus is indeed not easy to handle.

Although everyone welcomed Betty's victory, her victory was achieved by exploiting loopholes in the rules.

Putting the money into her own pocket might damage her image. After all, there is some hatred of the rich in human nature, and Betty's winning of this money is not convincing enough.

It would be even more inappropriate not to collect this money.

Donating it is not an option either, as that would be moral kidnapping and would put those who come after you in a difficult position.

How to deal with the bonus, which has become a hot potato, tests Betty's wisdom.
