NEXT DAY(38PLS)
We are going to fight against US team. Everyone put their bet on US team, so it was cancelled before but when I put 2.8B on Chinese team, the ratio went 5:1. Hahaha, I will be earning 12B by winning just a single match. I will be fucking rich.
"You don't need to push yourselves too hard. There will more matches to prove yourselves. We were unlucky this time but next time we will get weaker team so don't hurt yourselves in this match." Advisors advised.
"It's really a bad start, if Ai Jiangtu and Mo Fan were in good condition we might have won this match." Song He said not counting Chen Xiao's condition because it was out of their hands but they could have make sure to keep the national team out of clan conflicts.
"Winning against US team? seems like this Mo Fan is quite impressive." a man with long white beard asked.
"Teacher!" Jiang Yu run towards the man and greeted who accepted Jiang Yu's greeting with a nod.
"Hanji" Mo Fan greeted Hanji.
"You again got yourself in trouble. Try to recover quickly otherwise whole year's hardwork will be in vain." Hanji advised.
"Don't worry you know me well, I will recover in no time." Mo Fan said.
"Everything aside, first tell me who in the world actually bet on our team. Even that in Billions. Does someone really think we will win?" Zhao Manyan said in disbelief and draw everyone's attention.
"Maybe some psychos." Jiang Yu said.
"It's time go." Feng Li announced.
We made our way to the arena and came face to face with US team.
"So who is the strongest among you?" Chen Xiao asked.
"What will do after knowing, run away from him?" a US team member mocked.
"Hahaha...." people start laughing, the fight is yet to start and refree have a mic which is connected to speakers. So everyone heard the mocking.
"Don't worry our strongest member our captain wasn't interested in fighting a crippled team, we also don't wanted to but someone has to fight. So, we will be taking care of you lot." an arrogant US team member said.
"That's an good excuse to decrease the embarrassment of losing your first match." Chen Xiao provoked.
"Losing to you, Hmph how ignorant?" US team members lost their cool.
"BEGIN!" refree announced knowing that the fight will start on it's own.

SPECTATORS
"I thought this match will end as soon as it will begin but this is going well."
"But that Great Commander completely turn the tables."
"The team is doing better than I expected." Pang Lai said.
"The opponent is quite strong, three of them are Level 2 Advance Tier mages and our team has only injured Chen Xiao. I can only hope this Great Commander in not limited by time" Feng Li said in calculative tone.
"Don't worry everyone, that Hydra is not time limited." Zhao Manyan said.
"What? is that true?" Feng Li asked.
"Yes, it's additional effect of his Soul Grade Lightning Seed, it will be there for very long period of time." Zhao Manyan said with pride, his family is the one who find it.

"Crap... Magic Armour"
"Sand Shield"
"Contract Summon: Come forth Night Rakshasa, Don't let them cast spell" Jiang Yu commanded.
"Dimensional summon: Rock Golem"
"Hmph your little kitten can't do anything. Contract Summon: Come forth Armoured Scorpion." (US)
"Agnes out! Jiang ShaoXu out!" Refree announced.
"Level 1: Demon Punishment"

"Bai Cangfeng! Nanyu! mind helping here. This guys defence is way too good."
....................................
SPECTATORS
"Chinese team is doing good."
"US team underestimate Chinese team too much."
"They should have at least send their captain to prevent any unforeseen events."
"That Summoner with lightning beast is too strong."
"Damnit... I should have bet on Chinese team."
"This Chen Xiao boy is amazing taking on two mages on his own even when he is injured." Pang Lai praised.
"He is pushing himself hard." Song He said.
"How did it turn like this? seems like it's our loss." an US advisor said
"I warned you about how tricky Chen Xiao can be? you should have send captain." woman mage who arrested Casso said.
"Asas is second strongest on the team even he and Ken are no match for this Chen Xiao. We should have send captain." another advisor said.
'Why is he still holding on his Trump Card.' captain of US team thought.
...........................................
ARENA
"Damn it, Armoured Scorpion break free from these vines." US summoner ordered.
"Level 1: Demon Punishment"
"Jack is out" Refree announced.
"Seems like I have to use my trump card now." US Lightning mage said.
" ................ Domain : Strike down sword of Lightning Knight" The sky got covered with lightning clouds and a huge sword start materialising in the centre.
....................................
SPECTATORS
"Holy Crap the power of that spell has gone beyond even Level 3 Lightning Spell." Zhao Manyan cursed.
"It's an Unique Soul Grade Seed which can cast a very strong Spell but need to absorb Soul Seed Fragments to retain it's former self. The strength of that lightning sword is about half of the Super Tier Spell. Feng Li forfeit the match on behalf of team, if that sword fell someone might due." Hanji suggested.
"We were so close to win." Zhao Manyan said.
......................................
ARENA
"Surrender, the power of this attack is as strong as half of Super Tier Spell, you might even die." US Lightning mage warned.
"Hmph, your little tricks will not work on me." Chen Xiao rushed at him. US mage also launch the sword without hesitation when he saw a judge ready for unseen event. A judge rushed towards Chen Xiao.
"Level 5 Chaos Whirlpool" the mighty sword disappeared like it never existed.
"What?!" US mage got baffled, his Trump Card got nullified just like that. Judge also stopped in his tracks and have dumbfounded expression.
"Do you want this back?" Chen Xiao asked and shows the sword stored in his 'Chaos Whirlpool'.
"We... we surrender." US team surrendered.
"The winner is Chinese team." Refree announced.
"HOORAYYYYY!" Chinese spectators cried in joy.
"Phew~ that was some tough fight." Bai Cangfeng said.
"It's even more funny when you recall how we just came to lose? Chen Xiao is really a bastard, he should have told us we could actually win." Jiang Yu said while sitting on ground, mentally exhausted.
"Pant... pant... " Chen Xiao come to team.
"Woah! you are drenched in sweat..." Jiang Yu shocked at Chen Xiao's condition.
"Everything seems blur... " Chen Xiao lost consciousness. He unknowingly paid quite a high price to hide his strength.
"Chen Xiao!" Bai Cangfeng and Nanyu catch Chen Xiao.

SPECTATORS (3rd Person)
Bai Cangfeng and Nanyu bring Chen Xiao out of arena where already a stretcher was waiting for him.
"Sigh~ I told him not to push himself too hard." Feng Li said.
"It's not like his hardwork went in vain. We won our first match against 'US team'." Song He said.
"I really want to see this boy fighting at his peak condition." Pang Lai speak out everyone's mind.
"We will not be seeing that anytime soon." Hanji said as the only expert of healing element among the group.
