Sun Wei stood tall, his chest puffed out in a display of arrogance. His eyes gleamed with a triumphant glint as he addressed Su Li, “Last year was my first time participating, and I managed to secure the third place in the junior group. This time, I’m aiming for the championship. I don’t have the time to deal with you. If you kneel and call me ‘Brother Sun’, I might consider letting you lose gracefully. How about it? Oh, wait, you probably won’t even make it to the third round.”

Sun Wei spoke as if it was a certainty that he would face Su Li. After finishing his taunt, he joined his two lackeys in a boisterous laugh, their behavior utterly detestable.

Su Li glanced at the entrance of the venue, his older brother’s figure was still nowhere to be seen. The ridicule and mockery from Sun Wei and his cronies stung, hardening his resolve. His gaze sharpened, becoming resolute as he retorted, “Bring it on. If I do face you, I’ll make sure you lose in a way that’s pleasing to the eye, out of respect for our classmates.”

With that, Su Li strode towards the preparation room, no longer paying any attention to the laughter behind him. His stubborn silhouette carried a hint of steady determination, a stark contrast to his usual jovial demeanor. Anyone familiar with him would find this change surprising.

Soon, the first round of draws began, followed by the first round of matches. Su Li faced an opponent who was clearly out of his depth. The boy was so terrified that he wet his pants before the match even began, tearfully exiting the stage. His domineering mother berated him, expressing her disappointment in his lack of courage. It was clear that he had been forced into the competition by his family.

At that moment, Su Li felt a warmth in his heart. He was grateful that his mother never forced him to do anything he didn’t want to.

After the first round, twelve participants from the junior group advanced to the second round. This round tested their endurance and balance by having them stand on one leg atop a wooden stake the size of a fist. These were two crucial skills for any martial artist.

Within ten minutes, three participants had fallen from their stakes and were eliminated. By the fifteen-minute mark, a large number of participants couldn’t hold on any longer. Only three remained on their stakes, causing a wave of tension to sweep across the venue.

The next one to fall would secure the third place in the martial arts competition, while the remaining two would advance to the third round to compete for the championship.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, but at the twenty-minute mark, a third-grade student fell from his stake, securing the third place. Su Li and Sun Wei were the last two standing, set to face each other in the final round.
