Looking at Huang JunCai’s tangled expression, Li Rui smiled slightly.
“Relax, I will take you to the team competition. You just have to lay low and cheer, and the points will quickly rise.”
Hearing this, Huang Juncai’s eyes lit up and he instantly hugged Li Rui’s thigh.
“Lord Rui! No one in this world cheers better than me. Believe me, my posture when lying down and making a figure six** is awesome! Everyone who has tried says it’s good!”
“Okay, I got it.”
Li Rui nodded perfunctorily, picked him up with one hand, and carried him to the middle of the classroom.
“Everyone pay attention, this is our Nine-Tailed Fox Team’s new member, Huang JunCai. I hope you guys take good care of him in the future. Please welcome him.”
Li Rui spearheaded the applause, and the whole classroom burst into thunderous applause.
Being watched by so many people for the first time, Huang Juncai felt embarrassed and nodded in all directions.
“Who is this guy? His body doesn’t look like he’s trained before.”
“I don’t know, but a person brought in by the captain must be great.”
“Would you like to have a fight with him later?”
“You go first, I will look at his skills and tactics first.”
“Shit, shame on you! Want me to lead the way?”
While the students were whispering under their breaths, a bolt of leaping golden lightning jumped on Li Rui’s back.
“Captain, is this our new teammate? He looks very weak!”
Luo Li put her arm around Li Rui’s neck, poked her head over of his shoulder, looked at Huang Juncai curiously, and her blue pupils reflected his appearance.
“Brother Rui, the goddess Luo Li!”
Huang JunCai was so excited that he twitched and pulled on Li Rui’s clothes.
As the school beauty, as well as the deputy captain of the school team, Luo Li was much more popular than Li Rui in Mingde Middle School and almost everyone knew her.
“Little Huang, calm down. Luo Li, this is Huang JunCai. You can just call him Little Huang.”
“Huang Juncai, this is Margaret Robin. In the future, it might just be us three who participate in the Iron Triangle. You two should get to know each other.”
“Hello Little Huang, welcome to Nine-Tailed Fox.”
Leaning over Li Rui’s back, Luo Li stretched out a hand as her face burst into an angelic smile.
“Goddess Luo Li smiled at me, ah, I’m dead!”
Huang JunCai stepped back while clutching his heart and fell straight to the ground.
“Your friend is really interesting.”
Luo Li stared blankly at her outstretched hand and giggled in Li Rui’s ear.
Li Rui only felt hot in the face due to the public humiliation.
“Stand up!”
Kicking Huang JunCai’s leg, Li Rui squeezed two words out through his teeth.
Hearing the murderous intention in Li Rui’s tone, Huang Juncai dared not to be mischievous and instantly bounced up from the ground. With a face full of solemnity, he extended his hand to Luo Li.
“Hello Luo Li, I am Li Rui’s brother, Huang JunCai. Nice to meet you.”
“I am not your brother…”
Hearing Huang JunCai’s self-introduction, Li Rui rolled his eyes and quietly retorted.
Huang JunCai heard what he had said, turned head to look at him in disbelief, and asked sorrowfully,
“I treat you as a brother, but you actually… unless you want to you know what with me?”
“You know what?”
Li Rui’s eyelids jumped, and he rolled up his sleeves to prepare to beat him.
“No! No! Brother Rui, please calm down and pay attention to your character!”
“Hahahaha, Captain, you two are really interesting!”
Luo Li laughed on Li Rui’s back, making Li Rui’s chest short of breath.
Li Rui gave Huang Juncai a hard look and let him go because of Luo Li’s interruption.
“Zhu Chang, come here for a moment.”
Calling on a strong man who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, Li Rui gave Huang Juncai’s personal profile to him.
“This is Senior Zhu Chang. He is an incredible player on the school team and he is responsible for your basic training.”
“Zhu Chang, Huang JunCai is a novice. You should give him a set of basic exercises first.”
“No problem, Captain, leave it to me!”
Zhu Chang gave a thumbs up, and his white teeth coldly flashed under the light.
Huang JunCai felt inexplicably cold.
“This basic exercise…”
“It’s very simple, just follow me and practice!”
Watching Zhu Chang dragging Huang JunCai to train, Li Rui’s mouth twitched into a smile.
“With your menacing smile, don’t tell me he can’t even complete basic exercises?”
“Well, I reckon that if he does not die, a layer of his skin will at least be peeled off.”
Li Rui nodded and turned to look at Luo Li.
“How is your injury?”
“Hmm, no problem at all!”
Luo Li raised her arm and patted her biceps.
It was a pity that her thin arms and legs had no deterrent effect.
“Then, another round?”
“Okay, I can tell you that I have made great progress during this time! Be careful!”
“Hahahaha, bring it on!”
As soon as the students heard that the captain and deputy captain were about to have another fight, the whole classroom was instantly crowded.
By the time the two had put on their armor, the stage was already surrounded by three circles of people.
“Don’t you need a weapon?”
Luo Li took a knife and asked with a grunt.
“You know, I am not good at weapons. In fact, I am a fragile mage.”
“Humph! You just like lying to people!”
Luo Li pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, lifted the knife, and swung at him.
The sound of the wooden knife piercing the air was crisp. Li Rui was surprised to find that Luo Li’s speed really had improved a lot.
But correspondingly, her power had seemed to have slightly dropped.
Did she exchange power for speed?
If she were holding a knife that could cut through iron as if it were mud, then her destructive power really would have risen!
Li Rui sighed in his heart and warded her off with his protective elbow stance.
Boom!
The wooden knife made contact with the armguard, and the force spread along the arm and throughout his body. Li Rui felt a little bit happy.
The shock of the attack had forced out the soreness and pain in his body.
Just like rheumatism that has been resolved after many years, his body felt refreshed.
“Again!”
Li Rui’s eyes lit up but did not shine. A pair of iron elbows and Luo Li’s wooden knife ruthlessly slammed against each other.
“Holy shit, the protective gear is made of elastic material! It still hurts if you get hit!”
“The captain is really strong. Does he feel pain?”
The masses were discussing a lot, but Li Rui was becoming braver and braver in the ring.
The more he was hit, the more comfortable his body felt.
Following a rush of blood, his whole body blew off steam.
On the contrary, Luo Li was shocked numb and the dark, red color of blood-stained her pupils again.
Boom!
A loud noise scared all of the audience’s hearts.
The destructive power of Luo Li in the ring had suddenly raised a level!
And Li Rui had deeply felt it when he had blocked her attack.
Not only had she greatly increased her strength, but she had also accompanied two strange energies to destroy his body.
Under the vision of psionic energy, a bright red energy penetrated into his body, as if living animals were disorderly moving around in his meridian.
Another light blue energy covered his body and a bit of chilly energy was caught in between his eyebrows as if to freeze his mind.
**T/N: This is a pun. Laying low uses the same word as lying down (as in English), and the words which Li Rui used here were to “shout six six six” which means to cheer, so Huang Juncai makes a joke that he’s great at lying down in a figure six (six in Chinese (?) looks like a human).
