Ximerlin's height only reached Ning Chao's shoulder, and the height difference was a great disadvantage for her.

Moreover, Ning Chao had clearly trained; he changed into a fighting uniform, revealing his burly physique, and his punches were very powerful.

Compared to Chang Ming's flashy but ineffective martial arts, she could only temporarily adopt a defensive strategy.

However, her defensive approach backfired, and she was overwhelmed by Ning Chao, suffering a series of heavy punches.

Seeing that Xi Molin was unable to defend herself, Ning Chao showed no sign of stopping and threw a few more punches, which finally knocked her to the ground.

The intense dizziness masked the pain from the injury, even though blood was flowing from his forehead, nose, and mouth.

Thankfully, the first round is over.

Yu Qingtong, who was anxiously waiting in the audience, shouted loudly, telling her to stand up and not just defend without attacking, but to try to fight back, for her own sake and for her own wish.

As her consciousness became hazy and dizzy, Shimmering recalled her sister's repeated compromises with those people, her own powerlessness, and the mockery and disdain in their eyes.

Why must they be manipulated by others? Why must their fate be like this?

As she slowly turned over and gritted her teeth, trying to stand up, Ning Chao stood beside her, looking down at her with cold eyes.

"You can give up at any time."

Schimerlin forced a bloodshot smile, and as she stood up again to face an opponent far stronger than herself, she spoke clearly through her mouthguard: "I either win or I die."

As soon as she finished speaking, the whistle blew, and the second round began. She launched another attack on him.

This time, she no longer used ordinary boxing techniques. She had already integrated all the fighting skills she had learned over the years and practiced at school, and she was fully capable of fighting back.

Ning Chao's strength should not be underestimated either; his moves are a mix of many different boxing styles.

The game quickly turned around. Ximerlin was agile and nimble, using speed as a fulcrum to dodge Ning Chao's attacks while also finding his weaknesses and delivering extremely fast and heavy blows.

She had practiced martial arts for many years and was stronger than the average man. Coupled with her intense fighting spirit, her punches almost always landed squarely.

Ning Chao was quickly overwhelmed and cornered by her. He hunched over and used his fists to cover his face.

Schimerlin roared as he increased the speed of his blows, the ferocity in his eyes shocking everyone in the audience.

The referee tried to stop him, but Ning Chao did not fall to the ground, so he could not stop.

The referee blew his whistle and signaled the end of the round when the timer reached zero.

Ning Chao finally collapsed to the ground, his face and body also badly injured.

Shimmering, he stepped back, exhausted, his injured eyes still fixed on him.

The score is now tied at one to one, so it all comes down to who will win the final game.

During halftime, Yu Qingtong whispered to her that it would be best to finish the next match quickly, otherwise she was afraid that these people would try some tricks.

Mei Xiaofei and Mei Qiteng exchanged glances offstage. After a year of training at the Armed Police Academy, Xi Molin's martial arts skills had greatly improved, so it seemed their decision was right.

At the start of the third game, Ning Chao changed his strategy, adopting a defensive approach to prevent Ximerlin from finding any weaknesses.

He was tall with long arms and legs, making him a good defender; he managed to dodge every time Schimerin got close.

Just as the situation reached a stalemate, Yu Qingtong suddenly shouted from below the stage: "Merlin, think about your ultimate goal..."

Xi Molin knew she had to win. Taking advantage of Ning Chao's distraction, she suddenly struck him in the abdomen. Ning Chao instinctively dodged, but Xi Molin's feint struck him from the opposite direction.

Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, she grabbed Ning Chao's right arm in the same way she had subdued Chang Ming, quickly fell to the ground and pinned him between her legs, then locked him tightly without holding back any strength.

Most of the people in the audience stood up excitedly, staring intently as Xi Molin used all his strength to let out a roar from his throat, as if he wanted to break Ning Chao's arm.

Ning Chao, who was bound by the grappling technique, would immediately experience excruciating pain if he resisted even slightly.

He didn't want to admit defeat, but the excruciating pain and numbness in his arm became unbearable, so he could only keep pounding the ground with his left hand.

The referee immediately blew his whistle, indicating that the outcome of this round was decided.

As if oblivious to what was happening, Ximerlin continued to twist Ning Chao's arm outward with force.

Ning Ran, who rushed up from below the stage, and the referee tried their best to pry her apart, but they couldn't budge her.

Until they urged Yu Qingtong to come to her side, she loudly told her that the competition was over and she had won.

Ximerlin slowly came back to his senses from the nightmare and finally let go of Ning Chao.

Both of them collapsed to the ground, exhausted.

Ning Ran immediately called over her bodyguards to escort Ning Chao to the hospital.

Yu Qingtong helped Merlin, who was exhausted from exertion, to his feet.

Ning Chao also stood up, supporting himself on the pain in his right arm. He did not leave immediately, but instead looked at Xi Molin with deep, dark eyes.

His hair was already soaked with sweat, and his face was extremely pale. He took out his mouthguard and said in a calm voice, "Schmelin, you are very strong. I will keep my promise. After this battle between you and me today, no one should challenge you again..."

Schimerlin spat out the blood-stained mouthguard, ignoring the pain in his body, and staggered toward catching up with him.

The urgent voice stood out sharply in the somewhat noisy fighting arena: "Why? I can always be at your service, as long as you're willing to give my sister resources."

Ning Chao looked up and let out a long sigh, saying, "You really are exceptionally stubborn."

He looked back at her, blood still streaming down his face: "I made a bet with everyone here today. If I lose, they will all provide resources for your sister unconditionally. You don't need to fight anymore, and no one will make things difficult for her."

After saying this, he left with Ning Ran's help.

The other wealthy second-generation onlookers also left one after another. They had lost the bet; although the game was exciting, they could only accept their defeat.

Yu Qingtong, who was standing next to Xi Molin, instantly realized the significance of today's fight.

She searched for Mei Xiaofei's figure inside the venue, but found no trace of her. She told Merlin to go to the dressing room to change first, while she quickly ran outside.

The crowd dispersed, leaving only an exhausted Shimmering lying on the fighting ring, blood still streaming down her face. Having achieved her goal, she burst into laughter.

My sister no longer has to attend those lucrative social events for the sake of those resources. From now on, she can film whatever she likes, whenever she pleases.

Tears streamed down her face. She was no longer afraid, no longer terrified, no longer panicked. Her long-cherished wish had been fulfilled. Even if she wasn't by her side anymore, she could rest easy...

Yu Qingtong saw Mei Xiaofei getting into his car in the parking lot and ran over to him quickly.

Fortunately, I caught up.

She stopped a few steps away from her, panting, and said, "Mei Xiaofei, you deliberately arranged this situation today."

Mei Xiaofei did not turn around to look at her; by this time, there were very few luxury cars left around.

"So what?"

"Didn't you say you wouldn't allow it?"

Yu Qingtong didn't understand. She was so angry that night because she had leaked the information to Merlin in advance.

"Shu Xiangyu was originally from my company. Her fame is most beneficial to me."

That's it!

She thought it was because she suddenly had a kind thought that she helped them like this.

"And what about Merlin?"

"She was nothing more than a pawn from beginning to end..."

The icy words added to the chill of the late night.

Yu Qingtong stood there, watching her get into the car and quickly disappear into the darkness.

After this parting, they had no reason to meet again, which she should be grateful for, but why couldn't she stop the tears from flowing...
