Stop pretending, I'm a security guard, a five-star general!

"You bastard, open your dog eyes and see clearly! How did I last more than ten seconds against Qin Yu!"

As Ma Chao uttered his domineering words, an overwhelming aura emanated from him and spread outwards.

A silver-white spear appeared out of thin air and was held in Ma Chao's hand. At this moment, he gave the impression of a great general who had charged in and out of enemy lines seven times, exuding a powerful aura and a high level of prestige.

"With a heart of steel, we can quell the chaos of the world; with a spear in hand, we can establish our kingdom!"

Ma Chao twirled his spear in mid-air, then touched the ground with the tip, his eyes fixed intently on Qin Yu before him, and said:

"Ma Chao, a descendant of a military family, requests to fight!"

Qin Yu smiled and nodded, making a 'please' gesture.

However, at this moment, the most nervous person was not the two people about to fight on the stage, but Han Jinlong, who was watching from below the stage.

He had never wanted Qin Yu to win as much as he did now, and preferably to kill him instantly.

Han Jinlong turned on the stopwatch and carefully timed it, while sincerely praying that Ma Chao wouldn't last longer than 3.1415926 seconds.

At this moment, the two people on the stage stood facing each other, and a tense atmosphere slowly spread out.

Then, as the bell rang in the arena, the competition officially began!

"Young Master Qin, you've made a fool of yourself!!!"

Ma Chao roared and shot out like an arrow, his silver spear tip piercing straight towards Qin Yu's face like a bolt of lightning cutting through the sky.

But the next moment, a terrifying dragon roar suddenly erupted from Qin Yu's body, and an invisible pressure instantly spread out.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, Ma Chao's face made intimate contact with the arena floor, and he lay flat on the ground like a giant turtle, unable to move.

Han Jinlong glanced at the stopwatch in his hand.

The time displayed on the screen was frozen at 2.443826 seconds!

Han Jinlong was overjoyed. He had lasted 3.1415926 seconds against Qin Yu, while Qin Yu had only lasted 2.443826 seconds.

That's equivalent to lasting a full 0.6977666 seconds longer than the opponent!

That's a full half second longer! What does that even mean?

That's equivalent to the time it takes many Super Boy contestants to complete one event!

"Hahaha! What a scion of a military family, the son of a hero! Now he's not even as good as a chicken. At least a chicken can last two and a half seconds, hahaha!"

Han Jinlong immediately switched to taunt mode, launching a mental attack on Ma Chao, who was lying on the ground.

"This! How is this possible?"

Ma Chao's face was pale, his expression filled with disbelief.

He never imagined that he wouldn't even last two and a half seconds against Qin Yu!

What exactly was that oppressive force that just descended upon us? How could it be so terrifying?!

Ma Chao stood up blankly, looking at Qin Yu who had a calm and collected expression, and was completely convinced.

Although he had already witnessed how terrifying Qin Yu's strength was, some things can only be truly understood through personal experience.

only……

Ma Chao glanced at Han Jinlong, who was standing arrogantly and smugly below the stage, and clenched his fists with some resentment.

It's one thing for him to lose to Qin Yu, since he was indeed no match in terms of raw strength, but how could he lose to such a lowlife?

Have I really become this bad?

The usually confident Ma Chao began to doubt his own abilities.

"Haha, bro, why aren't you saying anything? Are you mute?"

At this moment, Han Jinlong was still mocking Ma Chao, the gloom on his face completely gone.

Ma Chao's crushing defeat at least proves that it wasn't because he was bad, but because Qin Yu was too strong.

Compared to others, my performance was quite good.

It's like this: you might feel quite frustrated if you don't outperform your big, clumsy classmate in an exam, but you'd feel much better if you only didn't outperform the top scorer in the country.

"I... I refuse to accept this."

Faced with Han Jinlong's mockery, Ma Chao weakly retorted in a low voice.

"Haha, if you're bad, just practice more. Stop talking nonsense. The fact that I lasted 0.6977666 seconds longer than you under Qin Yu is undeniable!"

"you!"

Ma Chao was immediately rendered speechless by the rebuttal and could only lower his head with a bitter expression.

Facts speak louder than words; he indeed lost.

"Ugh."

Ma Chao sighed in frustration, feeling that his unwavering Daoist principles were beginning to crumble.

He practiced shooting from a young age, dreaming of one day becoming the greatest marksman in the Great Xia Dynasty.

The spear is the most powerful and fierce weapon in the world, and to master it, one needs an indomitable and courageous heart.

But now that his Dao heart is shattered, how can he possibly master the art of spearmanship?

Seeing Ma Chao's dejected look, Qin Yu had an option in mind.

Option 1: Directly and completely crush Ma Chao's fighting spirit, causing him to become demoralized and lose all motivation. Reward: A large amount of spiritual energy.

Option Two: As the saying goes, to kill a man, you must destroy his spirit. Use Ma Chao's most prized spear technique to defeat him. Reward: A small amount of spiritual energy.

Option 3: Help Ma Chao regain his confidence. Completion reward: S-rank talent experience points +10% (Current experience progress: 10%/100%)

Qin Yu was stunned when he saw the options that suddenly appeared in front of him.

Why does this choice feel so familiar?

It gives me a weird feeling of encountering a bug.

However, as the saying goes, one shouldn't refuse a free reward, so Qin Yu made his choice without hesitation.

"Dragon Prince, come up and fight me again."

Qin Yu once again extended a challenge to Han Jinlong, who was standing below the stage.

Han Jinlong was taken aback upon hearing this: "Huh? Still fighting? Why?"

Qin Yu grinned, his voice seemingly possessing a bewitching magic as he said:

"What kind of man can only last half a second longer than Ma Chao? Only someone who can last a full second longer than him is truly amazing."

Ma Chao: "..."

Politeness, isn't it?

Han Jinlong thought it made sense.

Anyway, he couldn't possibly be as useless as Ma Chao, who couldn't even last two and a half seconds, so he accepted the challenge.

"Ma Chao, you coward, watch your Grandpa Han demonstrate how I lasted more than 5 seconds against Qin Yu, hahaha!"

Han Jinlong walked onto the stage with a big smile, while Ma Chao stood on the stage with a stopwatch to keep track of time.

If this kid really manages to last more than 5 seconds under Qin Yu's attack, he might as well just find a block of tofu and smash his head against it.

"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, please, Young Master Qin, you must take down this brat Han Jinlong within two and a half seconds."

Ma Chao prayed fervently in his heart, and the next moment, his prayer came true.

The match had just begun, and before they could even react, Han Jinlong was already sprawled on the ground.

Ma Chao glanced down at the time on the stopwatch, his eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed.

"2.345278 seconds!!!"
