The second match is a live patient rescue, where contestants will draw lots to select a patient for treatment. The patients' illnesses are generally similar, so it's considered fair!
Natasha said.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi understood.
This kind of competition looks fair, but it's actually not, as the judges mostly decide who gets the higher score.
If these judges are bribed, it would be incredibly easy for someone to become the champion.
However, Jiang Yi didn't care about that. As long as he had enough strength, no matter what tricks they played, it would be useless.
"How many people will participate today?"
Jiang Yi continued to ask.
"At least several hundred people!"
"Basically, all families, forces, and large hospitals related to medicine in Simon State will send representatives!"
Natasha said.
"Interesting!"
Jiang Yi smiled slightly.
This time, perhaps Jiang Wanli would also send someone to participate. He just didn't know who he would send.
Jiang Yi scanned his surroundings and felt a bit confused.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Natasha asked.
"You are the daughter of the great lord of Simon State. Out of so many people around, no one seems to recognize you! Except for a few leering eyes, no one else seems interested in you!"
Jiang Yi said.
"They don't know my identity at all!"
"My father never brings me along to important events, and I've never appeared in the media. Few people know me."
"My father does this to protect me. Many people want to kill my father, and he's worried that someone might target me, so he doesn't want people to know I'm his daughter!"
Natasha said.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi finally understood.
"Miss, can we be friends?"
A rich second-generation wearing noble attire walked over leeringly.
This rich second-generation was dressed as a knight, wearing a close-fitting, wide-sleeved outfit with black and red trim, and black knight boots with scarlet cross patterns.
The most eye-catching item was the rapier at his waist.
In England and a dozen surrounding countries, this attire is very common.
The rapiers at their waists are used for duels. If a dispute arises, they use rapiers to settle it.
Rapier duels are legally permitted.
Once both parties engage in a duel, no one has the right to intervene. If one party kills the other during the duel, they are not held legally responsible. According to the Su Dan novel network.
In countries like England, many people die in duels every year.
At this moment, many onlookers had already gathered.
"Isn't that the duelist Ike?"
"Ike was ranked seventh in the last martial arts competition in Simon State and is known as the Black Knight. He travels around challenging knights to improve his combat skills, and very few people can defeat him!"
"Ike is my idol, and I finally get to see him today. I'm so excited!"
...
The people around exclaimed in a flurry.
Natasha's pretty face showed an expression of impatience.
Given Natasha's status, people like Ike were insignificant.
"Miss, you are very beautiful. Can you tell me your name?"
Ike leered as he spoke to Natasha.
"I don't want to bother with you, get lost!"
Natasha said coldly.
With so many people watching, Natasha didn't give Ike any face, which made Ike's face show displeasure.
Many English people are very concerned about their reputation and value face even more than their lives. Especially for someone like Ike, who calls himself a knight, face is their belief, something sacred.
"Miss, you are disrespecting me!"
"Didn't you hear them talking about me? I am Ike, the martial arts master of Simon State, also known as the Black Knight!"
Ike's tone carried a hint of anger; he was very displeased.
"Black Knight? Never heard of it. With your demeanor, you dare to call yourself a knight? You are insulting knights! Knights are the embodiment of justice, while you, besides bullying innocent women, have no outstanding skills!"
Natasha still didn't give Ike any face.
When the people around heard Natasha's words, they recalled an incident that happened a week ago, an incident that also involved Ike.
One evening a week ago, Ike was drunk in a bar and, overcome by his beastly desires, broke into a farmhouse and shot wildly at a dark mass.
When Ike sobered up, he realized it wasn't a farmhouse but a pigsty.
And the one he had been intimate with was a fat pig.
Although this sounds like a prank and not real, it was widely spread in Simon State and almost everyone knew about it.
Only Ike, the person involved, would know the truth of this matter.
At this moment, people around began to discuss the incident, and many burst into laughter.
Even Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh.
In this country, one could indeed encounter all sorts of peculiar people, but so far, Ike was the most peculiar.
Ike's face turned ashen with anger.
Ike drew his rapier and pointed it at the crowd, saying, "If anyone insults me again, they will duel me! I will kill all of you!"
Hearing this, everyone quickly held back, not daring to discuss the matter further.
Natasha was a girl, and with so many people watching, Ike didn't dare to do anything to Natasha. He could only vent his anger on Jiang Yi and said angrily, "Kid, I officially invite you to duel me now!"
"I'm not interested!"
Jiang Yi said indifferently.
He was here to compete and had no time to mess with such people.
"If you don't duel me today, you won't be leaving!"
Ike walked directly towards Jiang Yi, staring intently at him.
Soon, Ike's followers surrounded Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi felt a bit exasperated. It seemed that if this matter wasn't resolved, he wouldn't be able to compete in peace!
Since this kid wanted to court death, he would oblige him.
"Don't duel him!"
Natasha said to Jiang Yi, "His combat skills are very formidable. Even ten of you wouldn't be his match. Don't worry! I'm here, he won't dare to do anything to you. I didn't bring bodyguards today, but I'll find some later to teach him a good lesson!"
Natasha thought Jiang Yi was no match for Ike, which was why she advised him against it.
"It's alright!"
Jiang Yi smiled and then looked at Ike.
"You wanted to duel me, right? Fine, I'll play along with you. Consider it me eliminating a scourge for the people!"
