Back in the Xia Team's lounge again.

Lin Yi could feel it; he didn't need so-called prestige, nor any credentials.

The other nine people in the team now acknowledged his captaincy.

At least in terms of strength, no one would question Lin Yi anymore.

Even Ding Yue, who had previously had issues with Lin Yi, was now too afraid to speak loudly.

After all, the killing intent Lin Yi exuded now was quite real!

Seeing Lin Yi return, Zhao Enquan smiled and said, "Today, no one will dare challenge you again."

"Actually, we basically had no matches today. Besides you, only Ding Yue eliminated a low-tier player this morning. No one else had a match."

"Tomorrow, we'll continue with mid-tier candidates picking on the low-tier ones, a real beat-down."

"According to the rules, unless someone truly dares to challenge you, you just need to pick someone from the mid-tier and finish a match."

"The day after tomorrow, when the high-tier fighters join the fray, that's when the real carnage begins!"

Lin Yi nodded.

He asked, "Mr. Zhao, can you give me a rundown of the championship contenders from other countries participating in this tournament?"

Zhao Enquan was taken aback.

Hiss...

Was he already studying the opponents for the finals?

"Haha, are you already studying the opponents for the finals?"

Zhao Enquan laughed outright.

Lin Yi neither confirmed nor denied it, saying calmly, "I just want to take out major threats before the high-tier fighters completely clash."

Zhao Enquan froze.

He didn't want to study the opponents after the top 16; he wanted to take them all out directly!

"I told you, I will make sure all 10 spots in this competition belong to Xia."

"I won't allow any accidents to happen."

Lin Yi's expression was terrifyingly serious.

This was actually him compensating for his poor performance in the previous group stage.

But when Lin Yi said it at the time, the other nine only thought it was just words.

Now that Lin Yi was emphasizing it again, it showed he was serious!

And he could actually make it happen!

Zhao Enquan took a deep breath and then spoke, "Firstly, the captains of all the representative teams are probably the strongest young fighters in their countries."

"Their strength cannot be underestimated."

"They've been the main focus of my research since the final contestant list was confirmed more than a month ago."

"Even so, my research on some of the favorites is not comprehensive."

"After all, without equal-level combat, what they're hiding cannot be exposed."

"Just like you, who would have thought before today that you could summon a rain of fire and an army of skeletons with just a flick of your hand?"

"Even I didn't know, haha!"

As Zhao Enquan spoke, he started laughing at himself.

Then he continued in a more serious tone, "Of course, there might be secret weapons they're hiding, and some might be stronger in certain areas, or like this Mo Di, might have some clever tricks hidden in the team."

"We must be cautious."

"Later on, I'll compile the intelligence I've gathered over the past month and send it to you."

"Now that today's competition is over, everyone should return to the dorms and rest."

"By the way, Lin Yi, I'll add you to the group. Any announcements and updates will also be reminded in the group."

...

As Zhao Enquan had predicted, until the 20th unlucky guy got eliminated, no one dared to provoke Lin Yi again.

At 9 PM, Lin Yi received a packed information compilation sent by Zhao Enquan.

It took him half an hour to first review the detailed competition rules, and then he read through the key opponents marked by Zhao Enquan, getting a fair idea.

...

A night passed.

At 9 AM the next day.

The second day of the elimination round began.

The dominance Lin Yi displayed in yesterday's three matches also pushed the entire event's hype to a peak.

After all, the previous youth professional matches were not the global professional Olympus.

So the attention within Xia Country was only in the tens of millions.

But Lin Yi's sudden emergence made the domestic audience of Xia Country realize that they had such a figure among their younger generation!

Thus, the viewership of the entire event started to soar.

At this moment, outside the Penglai Island venue, many audiences who came upon hearing the news had gathered.

Even if they couldn't see the situation inside, they were captivated by the atmosphere.

The event organizing committee deeply understood the value of the traffic.

After the competition started at nine, Lin Yi was scheduled to appear first.

Today, he had the right to actively choose his opponent.

"Contestant Lin Yi, according to the rules, you need to complete at least one match today to advance to tomorrow's rounds."

"Please note, you are still in the low-tier group, and if you lose today, you will be eliminated as well!"

"Please make your choice of opponent carefully!"

In yesterday's matches, Lin Yi knocked out three mid-tier fighters, and three others were later defeated by low-tier contenders.

Lin Yi looked at the 19 mid-tier competitors waiting in the prep area.

Almost anyone he looked at would lower their head, not daring to meet Lin Yi's gaze.

Some were even trembling with fear.

After picking for a while, Lin Yi was getting a bit impatient.

With a casual point, he said, "You over there, you're up."

Ah Liang was speechless.

Big bro, didn't what I just said about careful consideration get through to you at all?

What no one expected was that the unlucky guy Lin Yi randomly picked, upon confirming it was him, his eyes rolled back.

Burp~

And he collapsed on the spot.

It's hard to tell if he was really scared into fainting, or if he was just taking a page from Lin Yi's book, with an acting performance.

In any case, Lin Yi's first mandatory match today ended hastily with his opponent fainting in terror.

Though today's work was done, Lin Yi, guided by the principle of making the most of the trip, felt it was a wasted effort if he didn't make a few people cry.

Not only did he not come off the stage.

He even started selecting his opponents in various ways.

"You there, stop looking around, I'm talking to you. You laughed just now when I picked someone else, right?"

"Come on up, I'm the kind of person who loves giving people smiles."

The person Lin Yi pointed out instantly lost his smile.

They felt like crying.

"I surrender!"

You must be kidding, if they go up there, what they face from the Da Xia people won't be smiles, but sounds instead.

In the following minutes.

Lin Yi picked seven or eight people.

None of these people dared to stand on the stage.

In the end, the event's organizing committee couldn't bear it anymore.

They had to invite this living King Yan—Lin Yi down from the stage.

His single presence drove ten people down from the mid-tier group to the low-tier group.

If they let him stay on stage, there won't be any matches today.

Lin Yi could single-handedly speed-run through the 19 mid-tier fighters.

Even though the fights hadn't commenced.

But the audience from Xia in the stands was going wild with joy.

"I declare this the most entertaining moment of the competition so far."

"I would call it an irreplicable classic: King Yan's Roll Call!"

"This is killing me; this is what I call Yi's suppressive power!"

"Yesterday, I saw some people online with absurd criticisms, don't know if they were trolls or bots."

"Saying Yi's bullying weaker opponents was pointless."

"Come on, bullying isn't fun? I find it super entertaining!"
