Falling in Love Online with an Ancient General-Chapter 83: Strange Competition

"Do you even believe what you're saying?" Luo Nuo walked towards where the four were sitting.

Feng Qingyi whispered to Luo Qingyu, "President, is Luo Nuo really that good?"

"You'll see how good she is soon enough."

He actually didn't know how to describe Luo Nuo, but with her here, they might have a chance of not coming in last.

Feng Qingyi: "It's about to start. Should I go first?"

Luo Qingyu glanced at the list, "Alright, don't feel pressured. We're just aiming for fourth place. Be careful."

In the first match between Jing University and Pu University, Feng Qingyi's opponent was a very thin male student.

He wore black-framed glasses and looked completely unrelated to martial arts.

After bowing to each other, they began the official match.

Feng Qingyi's martial arts training covered a wide range, especially since she had been taught by master-level instructors in virtual classrooms.

After a few months of training, her physical fitness and various aspects had greatly improved.

However, this was her first real competition, so Feng Qingyi was very serious.

The two stood facing each other on the stage, but Feng Qingyi waited for a long time without seeing her opponent make any moves.

What's going on? Are we not fighting?

But he didn't seem to be surrendering either, just staring at Feng Qingyi very intently.

Feng Qingyi felt a bit uncomfortable being stared at and decided to take the initiative.

She threw a punch, and her opponent fell straight down.

Feng Qingyi was a bit stunned; she hadn't used much force.

That punch was just meant to test the waters. He could have easily dodged it, so why didn't he move at all?

"Are you okay?"

The male student got up unhurriedly, "I'm fine, let's continue."

"Continue? Are you sure?"

Feng Qingyi really didn't want to hurt him. What if she injured him?

"I'm fine, we can continue," the male student insisted.

Feng Qingyi symbolically exchanged a few moves with him, only to see him crash to the ground with a loud thud.

Feng Qingyi was completely bewildered. This was clearly a scam.

She had barely touched him just now, only grazing the edge of his clothes with a light kick.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Five minutes are up. I concede. You win."

The male student got up calmly and walked off the stage. Feng Qingyi was still trying to process what had happened.

Shen Hanyue and Luo Nuo were already cheering loudly from below, "Qingyi, you're the best!"

After Feng Qingyi returned to her previous seat, Shen Hanyue excitedly grasped her hand.

"Qingyi, you were amazing! You knocked him down twice. Now I believe you really have learned martial arts."

Feng Qingyi: "No, I didn't. He fell down on his own."

"Qingyi, don't be so modest. I know what I saw. You're just trying to maintain your gentle lady image!" Shen Hanyue thought Feng Qingyi was just being humble.

After all, she had seen clearly from below that Feng Qingyi's movements were swift and decisive, taking down her opponent in just a couple of moves.

"I'm really not being modest. I suspect he was faking it."

She wasn't a celebrity, why would she put on a gentle lady act?

Luo Qingyu also said, "I didn't expect you to be so skilled. Looks like we have some hope this time. We might even be able to secure fourth place or fight for third."

"President, can't you be a bit more ambitious? We're definitely going to take first place this time," Luo Nuo was already raring to go.

Luo Qingyu sighed, "As the saying goes, the higher the hope, the greater the disappointment. If we don't have expectations, any progress is worth celebrating."

"President, I'm going up now. Senior sisters, remember to cheer for me!" Luo Nuo bounced up to the stage.

To Feng Qingyi's surprise, this seemingly delicate Luo Nuo actually had some real skills.

In just three minutes, Luo Nuo had already kicked down her tall and sturdy male opponent, walking back with a bright smile.

Shen Hanyue could hardly believe it.

"So we've entered the finals now, right? Luo Qingyu, it looks like you won't need to go up."

"Isn't this competition a bit too hasty? We've barely been here a few minutes and we've already snuck into the finals?"

Feng Qingyi finally understood what Luo Qingyu meant earlier about this being just an inter-university exchange.

She had been wondering why winning the competition only earned 500 points. Now it seemed that 500 points might even be a bit too much.

Hearing Shen Hanyue's words, Luo Qingyu replied: "I didn't expect their strength to be so weak this year either. But Hua University is still very strong."

"If we end up facing them later, it's okay if we can't win. I'd be very satisfied if we're not in last place."

Luo Nuo sat in her seat, "President, why are you so unambitious?"

"I've already said, with me here, and now with Senior Qingyi, we're definitely going to take first place this time."

"Senior Qingyi, don't you agree?"

"I'll do my best." After all, she had come here, and she still wanted to get those 500 points.

The competition used a best-of-three system. Feng Qingyi wasn't sure about Luo Qingyu's actual strength yet.

But from what she'd seen, Luo Nuo was pretty good. If they didn't encounter particularly strong opponents, winning the championship shouldn't be a problem.

The subsequent matches were slightly more interesting than before. At least Feng Qingyi got to showcase a bit of her skills.

But it was only slightly more interesting.

Feng Qingyi had participated in various competitions before.

This was her first time participating in such an unchallenging and somewhat bizarre recreational competition.

Luo Qingyu didn't even get a chance to go on stage, and Luo Nuo also didn't seem very satisfied.

Luo Nuo: "I thought it would be a big competition like taekwondo or boxing, but what is this? I didn't even get to show my true level!"

"If I had known, I should have joined the taekwondo club next door. They even offer belt rankings."

Shen Hanyue had already taken out her phone and started playing games, "I feel like I'm just here as a figurehead. You guys keep it up!"

Feng Qingyi also took out her phone and started complaining to Qin Yuchuan about this bizarre competition.

[Qingyi: I thought it was going to be some big martial arts competition, but it turns out it's just for fun.]

[Yuchuan: Why do you say that?]

[Qingyi: The opponents aren't strong at all. There was even one who fell down before I barely touched him.]

[Qingyi: For a moment, I thought I had mastered some incredible kung fu technique, effortlessly defeating my opponent. But it turns out I was overthinking it.]

[Qingyi: He just wanted to stay on stage for five minutes, then he left!]

[Yuchuan: ...]

[Qingyi: To be honest, I'm a bit speechless too.]

[Qin Yuchuan: It's quite nice to relax a bit during leisure time.]

[Feng Qingyi: That's right, let's just consider this as coming here to relax.]

Thanks to Feng Qingyi and Luo Nuo, Jing University successfully clinched the championship in this recreational competition.

Luo Qingyu had originally hoped to just avoid finishing last, but unexpectedly they won first place. He was overjoyed and led everyone up to the stage to receive the award.

The prizes were eight panda plush toys, each valued at no more than fifty yuan, but it seemed that no one really cared about that.
