Boarding Life-Chapter 622

Qin Qi smiled, "President Mu, how would we know if we don't try!"

Yan Qingyu took a deep breath and gently responded, "Qin Qi, although you managed to defeat Mad Dog before, that was because of cultivation technique suppression. You should be clear that without such suppression, with your strength, it's almost impossible to win against a Ninth Stage True Warrior!"

"Moreover, qualifying for the preliminary selection requires signing a life-and-death contract; once on stage, life and death are disregarded."

Listening to Yan Qingyu's tone, the corners of Qin Qi's mouth gradually lifted.

Yan Qingyu is worried about me!

He never does anything he's not confident about; the reason he's willing to fight is partly to repay Mu Ning's kindness, and partly because he has some confidence.

Although he wasn't sure of the power gained from mastering the Celestial Spirit Pure Yang Skill, relying on this cultivation technique would suffice to protect himself.

However, if he said so, no one would believe him.

Qin Qi smiled, "Sister Qingyu, are you worried about me?"

Normally, this would be a very typical sentence, but coming from Yan Qingyu, it was full of subtle nuances.

She immediately became flustered, her face blushing, and she began to stammer.

Qin Qi cheerfully said, "Sister Qingyu, how about this? Let's make a bet. If I can really deal with He Zhilong and Guo Yingcai for President Mu, will you agree to one of my requests?"

Yan Qingyu felt that Qin Qi's so-called request had no good intentions.

Yet she was genuinely curious where Qin Qi's confidence came from.

Frowning, she said, "Qin Qi, if you can defeat He Zhilong and Guo Yingcai and help President Mu through this crisis, I would agree to ten requests, let alone one. But you must understand, this is not child's play!"

"Once you're on stage, you might lose your life!"

Mu Ning keenly sensed some subtle undertones in Yan Qingyu and Qin Qi's conversation.

But at this point, she couldn't be bothered to think too deeply. She just said, "Alright, don't fool around. Just like Qingyu said, this is not child's play. You can't gamble on your life!"

Qin Qi smiled and said, "President Mu, I know you're worried about my safety. How about if I really can't handle it, I'll just concede. They can't do anything to me afterward, right?"

"After all, the competition for the mine is not trivial. We can't just give up easily!"

Listening to Qin Qi's words, Mu Ning's heart wavered.

Though others didn't think Qin Qi could win, the most heartbroken person if they gave up would be Mu Ning.

She looked deeply at Qin Qi, truly not sure where his confidence came from.

But perhaps Qin Qi's determined and infectious gaze made her reconsider.

Her already delicate face finally changed its expression, and she opened her mouth gently, "Alright, then let's try. But if there's any danger, you must concede."

"Alright!" Qin Qi immediately beamed, promptly making preparations.

Soon, several company cars departed from the building, heading towards the preliminary selection location.

On the way, Yan Qingyu explained the rules of the preliminary selection to Qin Qi.

Each company in the preliminary selection can have three contestants!

If all three contestants are defeated, the company is considered eliminated!

Before the preliminary selection starts, each company will draw lots into groups of three companies.

To advance to the next round, a company must consecutively eliminate two other companies.

Previously, only Ling Feixue participated because the companies in the preliminary selection generally had weak abilities; Ling Feixue alone was enough to handle it.

No one expected such an event to occur.

About half an hour passed.

The car stopped in front of the preliminary selection venue.

Qin Qi, Mu Ning, and Yan Qingyu got out of the car. What they saw was a structure resembling a bunker.

He originally thought the venue was inside, but unexpectedly, Yan Qingyu swayed her hips to lead the way to an entrance leading underground.

"So the preliminary selection venue is actually underground!" Qin Qi realized.

Yan Qingyu gently responded, "If it was held above ground, even if the contestants were just some young hotheads, the fierce competition would destroy countless buildings!"

"Underground, there's no need to worry about that; the foundation is reinforced with metallic concrete, so they can battle as they wish!"

The underground staircase descended about a dozen meters before revealing the true environment underground.

The preliminary selection venue was actually similar to an underground boxing arena.

Huge cage-like arenas, with fighters from various companies standing on them.

Unlike an underground boxing stadium, the layout here was orderly, with dozens of arenas, each representing different group battles!

"We are in area nineteen, we're almost there!" Yan Qingyu's expression was full of concern as she explained while moving forward hurriedly.

About ten seconds later.

The group from Red Flower Company, led by Mu Ning, arrived at the nineteenth arena.

Upon entry, they could see in the distance, on a boxing-ring-like platform, Ling Feixue was sweating profusely, fighting against a young man around twenty-three or twenty-four.

The young man was surrounded by rampant True Qi, pressing Ling Feixue into retreat.

While executing his moves, he sneered, "Ling Feixue, you should know that with your amateur skills, you can't possibly win against me."

"What, trying to buy time? If I recall correctly, your Red Flower Company has no one else besides you!"

Ling Feixue's fair face was full of gravity.

A close observation revealed that her delicate body was already battered, blood soaking through the pristine white clothes she wore that morning!

Ling Feixue knew there was no one else from the company besides her.

She also knew that with her current abilities, she couldn't defeat the man before her.

But more importantly, she knew if she conceded, and over the allotted time, without anyone stepping up, it'd mean Red Flower Company forfeited automatically.

So before the others arrived, even if she had to put on a brave front, she had to fight!

"Guo Yingcai, stop talking..." Ling Feixue shouted.

At that moment, Mu Ning's voice quickly rang out, "Feixue, concede quickly!"

Ling Feixue heard the voice, turned back, and saw Mu Ning had arrived, feeling a burst of joy.

She knew her stalling for time was effective. She immediately wanted to shout the words to concede!

Yet just as she opened her mouth.

The young man from afar acted suddenly, "Ha, now it's too late to concede!!"

The man, named Guo Yingcai, had his arm wrapped by rocks, completely grasping Ling Feixue's neck!

No matter how hard Ling Feixue tried to make a sound, not a word came out!

"Guo Yingcai, how dare you!!" Mu Ning's icy voice swept through like a storm.

Under this immense pressure, Guo Yingcai sneered but refrained from trying to take Ling Feixue's life. He still swung his arm, tossing Ling Feixue heavily.

Ling Feixue's body was thrown out of the ring, crashing in front of the Red Flower Company crowd.

A mouthful of blood spewed from her mouth.

With it, her aura instantly weakened by several folds!
