- Chapter 22 - How Did He Win Again While Lying Down?
After a while, the referee finally reacted and announced Lin Daotian’s victory.
The crowd erupted into noise!
No one expected Lin Daotian to win the second round in such a manner.
In the audience, Zhang Kuang’s face turned ashen. “Damn it! He managed to slip through!”
“Brother Zhang, Lin Daotian has a reputation for supporting impoverished students. Nearly one-fifth of the exam takers have benefited from him, so the chances of encountering him in the arena are quite high! However, I don’t believe his luck will hold out forever!”
“That’s true; let’s wait and see!” Zhang Kuang’s expression softened a bit.
After waiting for a while, it was finally Lin Daotian’s turn again.
This time, his opponent was a cute girl named Ding Meng. She was short and had a bit of baby fat, with big, bright eyes that sparkled like light bulbs.
As soon as she saw Lin Daotian enter the arena, she eagerly waved to the referee.
“Referee, I forfeit!”
Lin Daotian: “……”
The audience: “……”
She forfeited the match as soon as she entered!
What was going on?
Why were Lin Daotian’s opponents so strange?
Curious, Lin Daotian asked, “Ding Meng, why are you forfeiting? Did I do you a favor too?”
Ding Meng shook her head. “No!”
“Then why forfeit?”
“Even though you’re not my benefactor, you’re my idol! As your most devoted fan, I like you so much that I wouldn’t dream of fighting you, don’t you think?” Ding Meng said, cupping her chin and gazing at Lin Daotian with adoration.
Lin Daotian: “……”
You make a compelling argument; I’m speechless!
“Idol, please give me your autograph!” Ding Meng exclaimed as she rushed over, excited.
Lin Daotian paused for a moment. “Where should I sign?”
“Right here!” Ding Meng quickly pulled out a notebook featuring his picture and a pen.
It was clear she had come prepared.
Lin Daotian took the notebook and pen and wrote his name in a flourish.
“Done! Is there anything else you want me to write?”
“Of course! Just write…”
Ding Meng looked at Lin Daotian’s profile with starry eyes and said, “To my most beloved wife, Ding Meng, love you muah muah!”
Lin Daotian’s lips twitched. You have big dreams!
Instead, he wrote, “To classmate Ding Meng, wishing you a bright future.”
“Finished, here you go!”
“Idol, let’s take a photo together!”
With that, she couldn’t help but hug Lin Daotian’s arm while raising her phone with the other hand, shouting, “Cheese~~!”
Click click click, she snapped several pictures before stopping.
Ding Meng looked at the photos on her phone and at the notebook in her hands, bursting into triumphant laughter. “I’ve got the autograph, and we’ve taken a photo together! My fellow fans will be so envious! Haha, I’m off now, idol, see you!”
With that, she skipped off the arena and ran outside.
Lin Daotian turned to the referee. “Referee, what do we do about this?”
The referee remained expressionless. “Of course, you win!”
“Winning like this, I still can’t wrap my head around it!” Lin Daotian said, somewhat unsatisfied.
The referee got angry. “What else do you want? It’s my first time being a referee, and you’ve already fed me a mouthful of dog food! Now get out of here before I lose my patience!”
Lin Daotian: “……”
Just like that, Lin Daotian won another match by doing nothing.
In the audience, Zhang Kuang’s face darkened, his eyes bulging as if he wanted to bite someone.
“Brother Zhang, don’t be angry; this situation is actually understandable!”
“I know that Lin Daotian is very popular among students, and he even has a fan club with nearly 300,000 die-hard fans! So, the chances of running into one of his fans during the exam are quite high! But those brain-dead fans doing anything for their idol isn’t surprising!”
“That’s right, Brother Zhang; the type of idol determines the type of fans. It’s not worth getting mad over this!”
Zhang Kuang’s expression improved a bit. “Fine, let’s keep watching. I don’t believe he’ll keep getting this lucky!”
What happened next was completely beyond Zhang Kuang’s expectations.
In the following matches, Lin Daotian faced opponents who were either people he had helped or his fans. They surrendered without hesitation the moment they saw him.
And so, Lin Daotian continued winning without lifting a finger
Zhang Kuang’s face grew darker and darker as he gritted his teeth, saying, “Why is this guy so lucky? He can just win without lifting a finger every time! Is he some kind of illegitimate child of the heavens? This has to be rigged! There’s definitely something fishy going on here!”
“Brother Zhang, that shouldn’t be possible! The matchups are randomly arranged; there’s never been an issue in all these years! Even if his dad is the Dragon King, he can’t cover everything up!” one companion said.
Zhang Kuang retorted angrily, “But how do you explain this?”
“This…”
“If the next match is the same, I’ll have to file a complaint!”
“Don’t worry, it definitely won’t happen next time!”
Zhang Kuang looked surprised. “Oh? Why do you say that?”
“Because Lin Daotian’s next opponent is Deng Ziwei!”
Zhang Kuang’s expression perked up.
Deng Ziwei, like them, was born into a wealthy family.
She had always been beautiful, independent, and sharp-minded, very capable, without idolizing or being infatuated with anyone, nor did she have any connections with anyone.
During the last summoning ritual, she had summoned a multi-colored summon, and her future looked bright.
So, she didn’t have to give Lin Daotian any face.
“Lin Daotian, let’s see how you lose this time!”
Zhang Kuang crossed his legs triumphantly, filled with anticipation.
At that moment, in the arena.
Deng Ziwei stood gracefully in the center, casting a cold gaze at Lin Daotian. “Lin Daotian, I didn’t expect us to face off so soon!”
“Yeah, I finally get to have a proper fight!” Lin Daotian sighed.
Although he had been winning effortlessly, he wasn’t really happy.
Because he yearned for a battle, wanting to prove himself by defeating his opponent with his own strength.
But no one had given him that chance!
Winning like this felt so frustrating!
Finally, he had found someone who would make him fight.
Lin Daotian felt a surge of excitement inside; Deng Ziwei shouldn’t be like the others and forfeit, right?
Deng Ziwei didn’t disappoint Lin Daotian’s expectations. She straightened her chest and proudly said, “Lin Daotian, you’re not my opponent. Hurry up and forfeit! Weapons have no eyes; if you or your cute pet get hurt, don’t blame me for not giving you this chance!”
“No, absolutely not!”
Lin Daotian’s voice was resolute and persistent: “In my dictionary, there’s no such thing as surrender! I’d rather die standing than live on my knees! Come on, let’s fight with everything we’ve got!”
“Alright, you asked for it!”
Deng Ziwei’s gaze sharpened. “Since you won’t surrender, then I… forfeit!”
Lin Daotian: “???”
Zhang Kuang: “???”
The audience: “???”
