At this moment, in the arena, the captain of the Chinese team looked at Xia Wanyuan with shining eyes.

He knew that Xia Wanyuan’s skills were good, but he did not expect her to be so good. “You’re too amazing. My decision to poach you this time was the best I’ve ever made.”

Xia Wanyuan smiled. “Captain, you’re too kind.”

Actually, she did not say that she really did not use much strength. In her opinion, the opponent just now was just average.

In her previous life, her opponent was her master, the number one swordsman in the Great Xia Dynasty.

She was used to her master’s fast speed and strange moves. In her opinion, these people were very slow and even their moves were old-fashioned.

“Alright, all the best. After you win the championship, I’ll treat you to a meal.” With that, the captain walked away happily.

Aiya, it was all thanks to Xia Wanyuan. This time, there was probably hope for a promotion and a raise. 

In the audience, Li Na had also seen the slow video released by the Arbitration Council. She had just mocked Jun Shiling for spending money to buy a ranking for Xia Wanyuan, but now, she felt a little embarrassed.

“I didn’t expect Madam Jun’s sword skills to be so superb.”

Jun Shiling originally wanted to ignore Li Na, but after she praised Xia Wanyuan, there was a hint of smugness in Jun Shiling’s eyes. “Of course. My wife is naturally the most amazing.”

“…” Seeing Jun Shiling praise Xia Wanyuan so bluntly, Li Na was a little stunned.

Looking at Jun Shiling’s handsome side profile, Li Na pursed her lips.

She felt a little uncomfortable. Why did good men belong to others so early?

The competition on the field began again. In the audience, Li Na’s thoughts were all on Jun Shiling.

She could not help but imagine that if she was Jun Shiling’s wife and she was the one participating in the competition on stage, would Jun Shiling look at her with the same affectionate gaze?

Thinking of this, although nothing had happened yet, Li Na’s heart could not help but flutter.

The West was more open, and Li Na’s ideas were more inclined to Western education.

She thought that love came first. If only Jun Shiling could like me and divorce Xia Wanyuan.

At that time, not only would I be able to get what I wanted, but the Blue family would also be able to join forces with the Jun Corporation. At that time, wouldn’t we dominate the world and be invincible?

Thinking of this, Li Na turned around and secretly glanced at Jun Shiling, but Jun Shiling’s gaze was all on the stage.

At this moment, the contestants were already prepared in the arena.

Both parties bowed. John glanced at Xia Wanyuan, surprised by her astonishing beauty, and thought to himself that it was a pity.

“I didn’t expect China to have a talent with exquisite swordsmanship like you.” John’s eyes revealed some admiration.

“You’re too kind.” Xia Wanyuan nodded slightly.

“Then let me ask you for guidance,” John said as he cupped his hands and picked up his sword.

He held the hilt and slowly stroked it with his fingers.

With the referee’s order, both sides entered a prepared state.

The further one went, the stronger the contestants’ standards would be. After all, after layers of selection, those who remained were all experts among experts.

The moment she exchanged blows with John, Xia Wanyuan raised her guard to the maximum.

John was not like the few people in front. His sword moves were more pragmatic. Because he was pragmatic, he was very difficult to deal with.

After exchanging a few moves with him, Xia Wanyuan figured out the changes in his moves.

Xia Wanyuan twisted her wrist and was about to hit him with a move.

At this moment, their swords were intertwined and they were very close to Xia Wanyuan.

John’s sword suddenly turned at a subtle angle, and the light reflected from the sword dazzled Xia Wanyuan’s eyes.

Xia Wanyuan subconsciously narrowed her eyes. Unexpectedly, seeing this light, she felt dizzy for a moment.

Just as Xia Wanyuan was in a daze, John pulled out his sword and slashed at her shoulder.

The referee stopped him but did not stop him.

After all, during the competition, everyone was wearing special protective clothing that could not be cut.

John was already an expert at the peak of the world. The speed of his sword strike was extremely fast and strong.

Xia Wanyuan immediately felt that something was wrong. Her eyes were still a little blurry, so she dodged instinctively.

Although she avoided fatal damage, her right shoulder was still inevitably hit by John.

With a ripping sound, Xia Wanyuan’s protective suit broke. John’s sword slashed straight at her shoulder.

In an instant, Xia Wanyuan felt a heart-wrenching pain.

The moment the protective suit broke, everyone was shocked.

Jun Shiling, who was sitting in the first row, immediately stood up and walked into the venue.

A staff member wanted to stop Jun Shiling, but he was so frightened by Jun Shiling’s aura that he did not dare to step forward.

“Let me take a look.” Jun Shiling walked onto the stage and squatted beside Xia Wanyuan. He pulled open her protective suit and took a look. Immediately, his eyes were filled with ice.

Xia Wanyuan’s eyes were still a little blurry, and her head was a little dizzy. Xia Wanyuan grabbed Jun Shiling’s arm. “Help me down.”

Jun Shiling’s expression was cold as he carefully helped Xia Wanyuan up.

Soon, a medical team stepped forward and brought Xia Wanyuan out.

On the field, John turned his head and exchanged a look with the captain. The captain nodded at him and gestured for the referee to take the sword from John’s hand.

Soon, everything in the arena was tidied up, as if nothing had happened.

Other than the Chinese team and audience in the arena who had worried expressions, everyone else had happy expressions.

After all, Xia Wanyuan had just advanced so fiercely. Without her, the chances of other countries’ teams winning the gold medal increased greatly.

Hence, Xia Wanyuan’s departure did not make anyone feel that anything was wrong. Instead, there was enthusiastic applause.

“Damn! They’re too much! Xia Wanyuan’s skills are so good. How could there be such a huge mistake just now? The other party must have done something.”

The captain of the Chinese team had been paying attention to Xia Wanyuan’s situation and naturally noticed her daze. Why would such a mistake happen to Xia Wanyuan? 

He felt that there was a problem, but the most important thing now was that after Xia Wanyuan left, the points of the entire team would not catch up to the other teams.

“Alright, alright. Don’t worry about Xia Wanyuan first. Let’s finish the competition and focus on it. It’s up to you.”

Everyone could only disperse angrily and rush to their respective competition areas.

At this moment, in the live-stream, everyone was stunned by this sudden change.

[I thought Xia Wanyuan was very amazing, but she actually made such a serious mistake. Looks like Xia Wanyuan isn’t much.]

[ F*ck, there’s definitely something wrong. How can such a situation where one’s attention is not focused happen to Xia Wanyuan?! ]

[ The Chinese dog in front, get out, okay? Why can’t it happen to Xia Wanyuan? Why? If you win, it’s the opposite side who sucks. If you lose, it’s the other side’s problem. Why are you so shameless? ]

Due to Xia Wanyuan’s sudden appearance, the entire situation of the competition had changed drastically.

The more John fought, the braver he became. He won a lot of points for the American team in succession.

The Chinese team had lost a general and were already a little disappointed. In addition, the referee’s almost harsh judgment caused several people to be punished.

There were originally seven members, but now, there were only four left. Compared to the other teams, the Chinese team was already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

They, who were still a gold medalist candidate, a second ago had now become the last. The captain sighed as he watched from below the stage, and the Chinese netizens were even more angry and anxious.

At this moment, in the lounge of the stadium, the doctor was doing his best to treat Xia Wanyuan’s wound.

Ever since she came to the modern world, Xia Wanyuan had been well protected by Jun Shiling. Other than the sudden situation of the earthquake, Xia Wanyuan had never suffered such injuries again.

The doctor cut off Xia Wanyuan’s blood-stained clothes and saw a five-centimeter-long wound on her shoulder.

Blood gurgled out, and the tender flesh rolled open. Jun Shiling glanced at it and clenched his fists.

“Be gentle.” Jun Shiling’s voice was cold. He looked at Xia Wanyuan’s wound without blinking.

“Yes.” The doctors softened their actions.

At that moment, the dizziness in Xia Wanyuan’s head was much better than before. She reached out to Jun Shiling and said softly, “It hurts.”

Xia Wanyuan’s words made Jun Shiling’s heart ache.

Jun Shiling took a deep breath, as if he was calming down. He walked forward and pulled Xia Wanyuan in front of him. “Bear with it. It’ll be fine soon.”

Seeing how much Jun Shiling cherished Xia Wanyuan, the doctors became even more careful.

Although the doctor’s operation had reached its limit, such a big wound still made Xia Wanyuan frown in pain.

Jun Shiling held Xia Wanyuan’s hand tightly. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had been looking at the wound on his shoulder, Jun Shiling turned her face around and kissed her. “Good girl, it won’t hurt anymore.”

After more than ten minutes of treatment, the doctor finally finished treating Xia Wanyuan’s wound and carefully wrapped it in gauze.

“CEO Jun, your wife’s wound must not come into contact with water during this period of time, and she must not exercise violently. Her muscles and bones are not injured. She just has to wait for the wound to scab.”

“Okay, you can leave.” Jun Shiling nodded slightly. The doctors quickly left the lounge.

Only then did Jun Shiling turn around and pull Xia Wanyuan into his arms. “I’m sorry.”

He had clearly agreed to protect her, but she was injured again.

“What are you sorry for?” Xia Wanyuan knew that there was definitely something strange about that sword.

The main reason was that she did not expect that in such an international competition, the contestant could collude with the referee to change the sword.

Furthermore, there was something wrong with the light that flashed on the sword. In the end, Xia Wanyuan still did not know enough about modern technology.

She had thought that it was an ordinary light reflection, but who would have thought that it was just something that could interfere with her brain?

“Let’s not compete anymore. Go back.” Jun Shiling gently held Xia Wanyuan’s hand.

If he could take the pain for her, he was willing to be slashed in Xia Wanyuan’s place.

Xia Wanyuan hesitated. “I’m not competing, but I want to watch the competition, okay?”

After all, she was a member of the Chinese team. Xia Wanyuan did not want to go back for no reason.

“Okay.” Jun Shiling nodded, then pulled Xia Wanyuan into the arena.

After watching the competition on stage, Li Na turned around and saw Xia Wanyuan walking over with Jun Shiling protecting her.

Wayne also saw Xia Wanyuan. He wanted to go up and ask her how she was and tell her that no matter what, she was his goddess.

However, Li Na stood in front of him, making him unable to say anything. Wayne had never hated this cousin so much.

“Mrs. Jun, is your wound okay?” Li Na smiled at Xia Wanyuan.

Xia Wanyuan replied calmly, “Thank you for worrying.”

Li Na did not even have time to hide the gloating in her eyes. “It’s good to be an audience. At least I won’t worry about getting injured.”

Xia Wanyuan ignored her and did not respond.

Jun Shiling sat beside Li Na and separated her from Xia Wanyuan. Then, he carefully hugged her. “If you’re not feeling well, tell me. We’ll go back.”

“Okay.” Xia Wanyuan nodded and looked at the venue.

At this moment, the venue had already entered a white-hot stage.

The top three teams were from America, England, and France.

The leader of the individual competition was naturally John from America.

Seeing that he had defeated his opponents one by one and his ranking was constantly rising, Xia Wanyuan frowned.

There were only four people left on the Chinese team.

This match happened to be between John and Li Yan from China.

Li Yan was the most outstanding contestant in the entire team, other than Xia Wanyuan. The captain had high hopes for her.

The Chinese team was counting on him to turn the tables.

Seeing Li Yan, John thought of Xia Wanyuan, whom he had caused to leave the stage. “Nice to meet you.”

Li Yan had a straightforward personality. When he saw John, he was furious. “Despicable person.”

The corners of John’s lips curled up. “What are you saying? Xia Wanyuan’s skills are inferior. How did I become a despicable person?”

“Use your real move.” Li Yan clenched the sword in his hand, wanting to help Xia Wanyuan vent her anger.

However, John’s character was indeed very bad. Yet, his skills were indeed top-notch internationally. Ordinary people could not withstand it.

“Pfft.” John had won so many rounds and had successfully gotten Xia Wanyuan off the field. Now was the time for him to be smug. He said a few words to Li Yan, instantly angering him.

The audience in the live-stream also saw his mouth. He said, “Sick Asian.”

This insulting term immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the Chinese netizens. However, other than the Chinese netizens, the others were basically watching the commotion and gloating.

[Why doesn’t this person have any sportsmanship?! Is this the sportsmanship of the American team? This is too much!]

[ Xia Wanyuan’s outcome just now was already strange enough. Now, this person actually insulted Li Yan like this. F*ck, I want to beat him to death. I’m so angry. ]

[Can you stop jumping in front? What a joke. Do you have the cheek to jump after a loser? John’s skills are amazing. If you have the ability, find someone to surpass him. If you don’t have the ability, why are you jumping here?]

In the venue, with Xia Wanyuan’s sudden departure and John’s provocation, no matter how calm Li Yan was, she could not maintain her best state.

When experts fought, victory and defeat were instantaneous. Li Yan’s skills were not as mature as John’s to begin with. Now that his mentality had collapsed, he was a little out of sorts.

John won very easily.

When the referee announced that John had won the competition, John smiled provocatively at Li Yan. “Why? Was there a problem with what I just said?”

At this point, John paused and said again as if to emphasize, “Sick Asian.”

Li Yan was so angry that his face was flushed red. However, now that he had lost, he felt that he had let down his captain and Xia Wanyuan. He was furious.

John was even more pleased with himself. Just then, the camera swept over. John made a narrow-eyed expression at the camera and gave him the middle finger.

The Chinese were very familiar with this squinty expression and were very sensitive.

Because of the genetic difference, yellow people were born with smaller eyes than OM people.

Hence, in the past, this symbol of squinting had appeared many times.

In foreign countries, acting like this was basically silently mocking the Chinese for having small eyes.

[Did he do it on purpose? Does he have any respect for others by doing this in front of the entire world?]

[The person in front, there’s no need to doubt him. He did it on purpose. Just the day before, he even liked some of the comments and photos on FINS that insulted China. Some of them mocked us for having small eyes.]

[Tsk, tsk, tsk. John hasn’t even spoken and you guys are already acknowledging it? As expected, you feel inferior and pitiful. So you know that your eyes are small?]

John’s actions not only angered the Chinese netizens in the live-stream, but also the audience in the arena.

Everyone complained about John crazily in their seats, expressing their anger.

When Xia Wanyuan heard the audience’s words, her eyes flickered.

At this moment, there were only four countries’ teams left competing with each other.

China had relied on those four people to walk to this point with difficulty. Now, they were already at the end of the road.

It was foreseeable that the next eliminated team would definitely be China.

The expressions of the team members were very solemn.

“Alright, it’s okay. You’re already very amazing to have come this far.” The captain comforted the team members with red eyes.

Although he was filled with indignance, he had no choice.

This was America’s home ground. Regarding Xia Wanyuan and the other two players who had been punished by the referee, the national team had already applied for arbitration from the Arbitration Council.

However, the results indicated that there was nothing wrong with the referee, and there was nothing wrong with Xia Wanyuan’s competition.

No matter how they complained, the outcome was still the same.

At that moment, in the audience, seeing the team members’ sad expressions, Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips. She turned around, but before she could speak, Jun Shiling rejected her. “No.”
