Besides, this is my Bear Ridge territory. It's not unreasonable for us to take back what belongs to us, is it?"
There's nothing wrong with Bald Qiang's words; even if you don't use your own things, they're still yours.
Sun Wukong frowned and said, "Mr. Bald Qiang, we in Kyushu have lived here for over 5000 years. Although we haven't existed as long as Bear Ridge, you can't just take it back as you please!"
"Is 5000 years a long time? For us, it's just the time it takes to sleep or go into seclusion once."
Bald Qiang continued, "We know you are not convinced. Today, since Mr. Zhongli and Mr. Mo are both here, I will give your China a chance."
"What opportunity?!"
Sun Wukong's tone was somewhat urgent; he knew that a direct confrontation with Bear Ridge would only lead to certain death. The "opportunity" that Bald Qiang spoke of would be their nation's only hope.
"A ring match!"
"A ring match?"
Bald Qiang explained, "That's right, a ring competition. Mr. Zhongli will be the impartial judge, and Mr. Mo will be the referee. We, Bear Ridge, will send nine people, and your China will also send nine people for one-on-one combat."
"Isn't this unfair to us?!"
Sun Wukong looked helplessly at his own group of "misfits" and then at the group of imposing opponents at Bear Ridge.
"Fairness? There's no such thing as absolute fairness in this world!"
Mo Chengran answered Sun Wukong's question, saying that he never believed in absolute fairness in the world, and that even if it existed, it was a gift from the strong to the weak.
Sun Wukong was speechless, realizing how ridiculous his words had been.
What Bald Qiang said next proved that so-called fairness is nothing more than the strong giving charity to the weak.
"Sun Wukong, don't be hasty. Since I said I would give you a chance, I won't just make empty promises."
In a typical tournament, the side with the most wins wins. If this rule were applied, you would have no chance of winning.
Therefore, if your China wins any one of these nine matches, you will be considered the final victor.
The match-up list is drawn randomly, which ensures the fairness that Sun Wukong mentioned.
Moreover, with your current strength, you still have a chance of winning against the likes of Momo and Bengbeng.
Although Bald Qiang's words sounded a bit harsh, they did give him an opportunity.
Sun Wukong is proud, and he really doesn't want to accept Bald Qiang's "charity." But compared to the survival of the Nine Provinces, he will put aside his pride and accept this "charity."
"Phew, I, Old Sun, have one last question. That is, if your Bear Ridge wins, what will happen to Kyushu?"
This is what Sun Wukong is most concerned about. If Kyushu's fate is the same as that of the beautiful country and the cherry blossom country, then Sun Wukong would rather die in battle than surrender.
"If we win, China will become a subordinate force of Bear Ridge. If you win, we will no longer have any improper thoughts about China."
"I wonder if this outcome suits your wishes, Sun Wukong?"
Hearing Bald Qiang's words, Sun Wukong finally felt relieved.
"Alright, Kyushu will take on this arena match!"
Chapter 56 The First Match of the Arena
"Alright, we Kyushu will take on this arena battle! But, I, Old Sun, have one more condition!"
Bald Qiang was a little displeased. He had already made such a big concession, but Sun Wukong was still pushing his luck.
Seeing this, Sun Wukong quickly explained, "It's not what you think, Bald Qiang. I, Old Sun, just want to broadcast this arena match live nationwide."
Although they are all ordinary people, they are ultimately part of Kyushu.
Regardless of the final outcome, they have the right to know.
"can!"
Bald Qiang isn't that petty; anyway, it won't be his Bear Ridge that loses face.
Sun Wukong secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Bald Qiang had agreed.
"Wukong, since this is your decision, we will support you unconditionally! Don't feel burdened, just go for it!"
Dukao knew that no matter the outcome of this contest, China would not be wiped out like the United States and Japan.
This will only turn China from an independent and sovereign nation into a vassal state of other powers, causing it to lose some of its freedom.
There may be some extremists who will resist, so Dukao wanted to use this live broadcast to dispel their unrealistic ideas.
(P.S.: It's not that I don't want to use suppression or destruction of China directly, it's just that it's impossible! If I really wrote it that way, this book wouldn't last long. This arena competition to subdue China is the best method I can think of. It also fills in the plot hole of the concise version, so please don't mind.)
"As you have said, the contract has been made, and those who break their word shall be punished by being devoured by the rocks!"
Zhong Li spoke at the opportune moment, and several golden rays of light fell into the bodies of the people from Bear Ridge and the Super Soldier Squad.
Sun Wukong never expected that even though he had already upgraded to the fourth generation of beast form, he still couldn't react to Zhongli's movements.
"There is no need to worry about anything strange about it. As long as you have not violated the contents of the contract, everything will be fine."
Zhongli's words were rather confusing, but the main point was that as long as the contract wasn't violated, it was fine.
Mo Chengran looked at Dukao, who was preparing to start a nationwide live broadcast, and said, "No need for that. Leave the live broadcast to me."
"Snapped!"
Mo Chengran snapped his fingers, and all electronic devices in China capable of playing videos went out of control, ultimately freezing on an overhead view of the Super God Academy Square.
"Old friend, it's your turn to make a move!"
Zhong Li put down his teacup and then walked towards the huge plaza in the Super God Academy.
"Impregnable!"
"Embrace and integrate!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the earth began to tremble, and thick rocks slowly emerged from the depths of the ground.
As his gestures changed, the rocks rapidly coalesced and piled up, eventually forming an indestructible arena, as if it were a masterpiece of nature itself.
"This arena can withstand a blow from the Emperor, making it the perfect place to hold this arena match."
Zhong Li turned around and said to the Bear Ridge and the Super Soldier Squad, "The preparations are complete. Now it's your turn to shine."
Two boxes suddenly appeared in front of Bald Qiang and Sun Wukong, and then a talisman with their name on it flew out from each contestant.
The talisman from the Bear Ridge side flew into the box in front of Sun Wukong, while the talisman from the Super Soldier Squad side flew into the box in front of Bald Qiang.
This way, having Sun Wukong and Bald Qiang draw the battle roster for each other simultaneously ensures fairness.
Meanwhile, China's hundreds of millions of people learned from the government that this contest would determine whether China would become a vassal state of Bear Ridge.
These people all learned about the strength of Bear Ridge from the national news, but no one wanted to be inferior to others, so they all cheered for the Super Soldier Company with all their might.
Mo Chengran somehow acquired a microphone and stood on the ring with an air of importance.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I hereby declare the first round of the arena tournament officially open! Representatives from both sides, please draw lots to select your opponents for the first round!"
Upon hearing Mo Chengran's words, Sun Wukong and Bald Qiang simultaneously reached into the box to draw the first person to fight for each other.
Bald Qiang took out a talisman with Ge Xiaolun's name printed on it, while Sun Wukong took out a talisman with Luo Butou's name printed on it.
Two talismans struck their master's body, and Ge Xiaolun and Luo Butou appeared simultaneously in the arena.
"Hey, how did I end up in the ring?!"
Ge Xiaolun was still grumbling when suddenly his greatsword fell from the sky and pierced in front of him, nearly scaring him to death on the spot.
The more than one billion Chinese people, upon seeing that the first person to appear in Super Soldier was such a loser, immediately said they couldn't bear to watch.
"Xiao Lun, what are you doing! Over a billion viewers are watching! You've completely disgraced our Super Soldier Company!"
Dukao is starting to regret starting the live stream; it's just making him look bad!
How could a warmonger like him raise such a complete loser? I just don't understand, I really don't understand!
The other members of the Super Soldier Squad covered their faces, indicating that they did not recognize the super loser on the field.
"Holy crap, who is this?! Don't they know how dangerous it is to throw weapons like that?! Did you see that? It almost stabbed me! They have no conscience at all!"
Ge Xiaolun was still babbling on and on, and Luo Butou, who was already getting impatient, swung his claw at him!
A flash of silver light swept past Ge Xiaolun's eyes. He looked down at his feet and saw a deep ravine.
"Kid, the match officially began the moment you stepped into the ring. If this were a battlefield, you would already be dead!"
Luo Bo wasn't tall; even standing up, he was only half the height of Ge Xiaolun. But the aura he exuded was like that of a giant, while Ge Xiaolun was the short one.
Ge Xiaolun dared not be negligent and quickly raised his greatsword, looking warily at the mole with sharp claws in front of him.
"Hmph, only now do you realize you need to be careful? But it's too late!"
Radish Head's claws gleamed with a cold light as his body transformed into a whirlwind and attacked Ge Xiaolun.
Each swing of his claws was accompanied by a whistling wind and a piercing cutting sound, as if it were the scythe of death mercilessly slashing towards Ge Xiaolun.
Ge Xiaolun appeared somewhat clumsy and sluggish, and could only passively defend against Luo Butou's agile attacks.
Luo Butou's storm-like attacks left Ge Xiaolun breathless, forcing him into a defensive posture and preventing him from unleashing the full power of his greatsword.
Although Ge Xiaolun's current strength is not very great, he is extremely resilient, like an unkillable cockroach.
"not good!!!"
Under Luo Bu Tou's high-frequency attacks, the rookie recruit Ge Xiaolun finally revealed a weakness.
Luo Bo seized the opportunity and slammed his claw into Ge Xiaolun's chest.
Ge Xiaolun's black armor shattered instantly, and he was sent flying into the sky like a cannonball.
Meanwhile, Luo Butou had somehow appeared on Ge Xiaolun's back as he flew backward, and he slapped the latter's back with his claws.
Ge Xiaolun plummeted towards the arena like a meteorite.
"Boom!!!"
After a loud bang, Ge Xiaolun collapsed unconscious on the arena.
In the first match of the tournament, Luo Bu Tou won!
