Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 635: Who Is the Mascot

The member who took the initiative to explain also practiced martial arts since childhood and was already in his thirties, an old senior to many.

Seeing Tuanzi puffing her cheeks in frustration, he reached out to pinch her cheeks. Only a few people knew he was a big fan of Tuanzi. He was single, without children, and could only vicariously "parent" online.

Just as the member was about to pinch Tuanzi’s cheeks, a hand casually waved over to block him, then smoothly pressed on Tuanzi’s little head, gently rubbing it.

"There will be opportunities."

Tuanzi recognized it as Tantai Yi’s voice and continued nodding with her puffed cheeks.

"Alright then, it’s just that they don’t know me yet. Once they do, they’ll be scrambling to challenge me."

She hummed a few times, "At that point, I’ll carefully select my opponents."

Tantai Yi: "Don’t compete with the ones too weak."

The member whose hand was blocked interjected, "Why? Is it because the weak ones aren’t worthy?"

He said this teasingly, with no malice.

Tantai Yi shook his head, "Finishing right after getting on stage isn’t satisfying, right?"

Tuanzi nodded in agreement. She remembered they were live streaming, looked at the camera, and smiled, "And it’s not satisfying for everyone watching, right?"

[Yes, yes, my dear, whatever you say is right]

[But I think it’s a bit doubtful. Like how that person challenged Yang Zhi because Yang Zhi is outstanding among the young people, and he showed that in previous exchanges. But foreigners don’t know how excellent Miaomiao is]

[Haha, as clever as I am, I’ve already gone to recommend Miaomiao on foreign websites]

[Are other countries paying attention to this exchange too?]

[It seems like there’s really some attention, maybe about two weeks ago, lots of videos about our country’s traditional martial arts appeared on foreign websites, drawing a lot of interest from foreigners. Not long after, someone even uploaded videos of Miaomiao, but those foreigners said the earlier ones were real, and the latter ones were special effects]

[You can’t even create such an effect of lightness with special effects, right?]

[To correct you, poorly done special effects can’t achieve this kind of effect]

[Wow, I’m already looking forward to Miaomiao proving them wrong]

[The premise is someone challenges Miaomiao. Isn’t anyone curious why our country sent such a youngster? It must be because this youngster is very skilled]

[Is there a possibility that other countries think Miaomiao is just our team’s mascot?]

The netizens collectively remained silent for a few seconds, then observed Tuanzi through the camera.

The members of the National Martial Arts Association all wore red martial arts outfits today. The outfit design was a mix of tight and loose, allowing freedom of movement while also showcasing their good physiques.

Years of martial arts training lead to no bad physiques.

Tuanzi’s martial arts outfit was extra small, and although the design was the same, on her it looked especially cute.

While others looked lean and tall, her outfit looked like a doll’s costume, giving a round and plump feeling. Coupled with her round face and big eyes, the martial arts outfit made her even more adorable and cuddly.

Adding to that, Tantai Yi skillfully gave her two bun hairstyles with red ribbons.

She indeed looked like a life-sized lucky mascot.

[...]

[Haha, that’s hilarious]

[Uh, let’s not tell our little heroine this fact]

[Even if we want to tell her, we have no way to do so. Let’s see when she realizes it herself]

[Isn’t anyone curious how Tuanzi can understand those foreign languages?]

[It’s not that she understands them, she’s just reading body language. Haven’t you noticed she responds with body language? There’s no reason she can understand but not speak]

[To the one in front, I suspect you are subtly mocking me. I’m exactly the type who understands but can’t speak]

[Feeling subtly mocked +1]

Yang Zhi won.

He came back with his head held high, like a proud peacock.

Noticing an intense gaze, he puzzledly looked over and met Tuanzi’s eyes, filled with admiration and determination.

"It’s okay, soon someone will challenge you too."

Yang Zhi comforted her with a guilty conscience.

He understood some foreign languages and had previously overheard people discussing how their country was particular, even bringing a mascot to an exchange meeting.

If the little heroine knew she was being seen as a mascot, she’d be very mad, right?

Yang Zhi couldn’t help but take another look, and then couldn’t resist agreeing that her outfit did indeed make her look like a mascot.

"Your gaze is weird."

The super observant little heroine warily said, "What bad thing are you thinking about?"

Yang Zhi rubbed his nose, not daring to speak anymore.

Tuanzi remained cautious, her hair practically standing on end.

If not for the cameras, she probably would’ve bared her teeth like a beast.

The equally guilty system helped change the subject.

[Ancient Martial System: It seems like someone is coming over to seek advice. Is it to find you?]

Tuanzi quickly turned her head to look, but unfortunately, the person was inviting the one who had explained earlier.

She puffed her cheeks again, gloomily watching the match.

Indeed, those two were decent, but they still weren’t better than her. Why is no one challenging her?

Her toes began to circle on the floor.

Once someone started, others became bolder and began inviting openly.

Some really wanted to challenge and couldn’t wait—this was the passion of a martial artist. Others wanted to test their opponents’ strength beforehand, fully preparing for the martial arts convention.

Some netizens were right—the final days of the exchange seemed all about friendship first and competition second, but it still involved national and association pride, as well as personal reputation and interests.

In some countries, if association members perform outstandingly, it not only facilitates promoting martial arts and attracting more talent, but also makes it easier to apply for more funds from above. Personally, some want to open martial arts schools or dojos, and these honors become the signboards.

An unknown person opening a dojo, who cares about you?

Even Tuanzi has her own reasons for participating.

Everyone has their own agenda, so selecting the right opponent to challenge is essential. They can’t be too much better, but also not too weak.

No one chose Tuanzi.

Watching as her peers were all picked off one by one, Tuanzi pouted even more.

[The baby is upset, hugs]

[Wanna pinch those little lips]

[Mama hugs]

[You bunch of freeloaders]

[Actually, if others don’t challenge her, Miaomiao could challenge others herself]

[No one will remind Miaomiao? Where are her senior brothers?]

[Uh, don’t you think the senior brothers are even more clueless?] 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

The senior brothers indeed didn’t understand, and no one chose them either.

Standing diagonally opposite Tantai Yi, someone told their country’s team member, "Look at those few, each looking like a star, smooth-skinned, good complexion, you can tell they’re not martial artists. No fun to spar with people like that."

Tantai Yi: "..." He didn’t quite understand why this foreigner didn’t use his native language, intentionally using his junior sister’s country’s language, afraid he couldn’t hear?

He glanced over.

The male team member immediately winked at him, seemingly waiting for him to get angry.

Tantai Yi furrowed his brow, this person’s expression was so odd, it even gave him goosebumps.
