Chapter 955: No obligation

Xiao Qiang was the first friend they met after joining the club, and also the only one among all the players who knew they would directly enter the "Youth Training Competition".

Back then, it was Xiao Qiang who kindly reminded them to keep a low profile for the time being and not to reveal this matter to others.

Looking at the reactions of jealousy or unwillingness of the players around at this moment, they realized that Xiao Qiang's reminder was not only kind but also wise.

And Xiao Qiang himself had always kept his mouth shut, rigorously helping them keep this secret until today.

Fragmented discussions and low whispers full of sourness came to their ears. Xiao Qiang scanned the players with different expressions around him calmly, then turned to Shen Xing and the others, his tone calm but with comfort: "Don't pay attention to them, there are only so many opportunities, it's normal for some people to be unhappy."

Shen Xing nodded with a smile, and Bai Lianghe beside him had the most straightforward personality, immediately saying: "Anyway, we are all refreshed today, we don't care about others at all!"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud—just as Bai Lianghe said, the scene just now where everyone turned their heads upon hearing the sound and their gazes fell on them in unison was indeed refreshing to the extreme.

In the front row, Ou Wen and the others sat in their original seats for a long time without moving.

When the rest of the players got up and left, they only dared to glance at them secretly from the corners of their eyes. No one dared to rush up to talk, and an oppressive silence permeated the air.

Until they finally got up, and as soon as they turned their heads, they bumped into the faces of Shen Xing and the others who were still smiling. But in the eyes of Ou Wen and the others, that smile became a blatant mockery, so dazzling that it made people feel stuffy in their chests.

Ou Wen frowned fiercely, and the anger in his heart instantly rushed up like firewood that had been lit, and the low pressure around him was almost overflowing.

Shen Xing and the others also sensed the suppressed fury in their eyes; the two sides' gazes collided across the air—one side surging with rage and churning malice, while the other remained as light as clouds and as indifferent as water.

Actually, Shen Xing and the others didn't mean to mock Ou Wen and the others at all, and they didn't even have the slightest ripple in their hearts about them failing to be selected.

They were just refreshed for themselves, and as for the emotions and circumstances of others, it had nothing to do with them in the first place.

But for Ou Wen and the others, it was completely not the case. The opportunity for the "Youth Training Competition" was too important and precious to them. At this moment, losing the qualification to participate, all objective factors in the eyes of Ou Wen and the others were the key to affecting the result, and Shen Xing and the others must be inseparable from it.

In their view, if it weren't for Shen Xing's team appearing out of nowhere, that last direct entry spot would most likely have been theirs!

So, when Shen Xing and the others packed their things and were about to walk out of the conference room, Ou Wen stepped out fiercely and stood firmly in the middle of the passage. Seeing this, the others also stepped forward one after another, each with an angry look and sharp eyes, forcibly turning into a human wall, blocking Shen Xing and the others.

Shen Xing and the others' faces sank instantly, Shen Xing frowned, and his tone became a bit colder: "What are you doing?"

"Kid, your momentum is quite fierce, huh?" Ou Wen had a fierce look on his face. While speaking, his hands had already subconsciously clenched into fists. "Just came to the club for a few months, and you dare to grab our competition spot?"

Bai Lianghe still took a step forward first, blocking in front of Shen Xing, her tone carrying a bit of mockery: "The spot for the 'Youth Training Competition' can be obtained by grabbing? Then you have participated several times before, how did you 'grab' it? Who did you grab it from?"

"Of course we rely on strength!" One of the players beside Ou Wen couldn't help but scold, his tone full of impatient irritability with insufficient confidence.

Bai Lianghe sneered, the disdain in her eyes undisguised: "When it's your turn, it's relying on strength; when it's someone else's turn, it becomes grabbing? It's truly funny..." ===== CHAPTER 956 =====
