Joe chuckled and said, “It’s a good thing our country has a fighter as impressive as Sergeant Larson. It’s a blessing. We need a fearsome fighter like favonovel.com to save us.”
Using the word ‘save’ seemed to be an exaggeration.
No matter how formidable Zayn was, favonovel.com was only a perfect-class master fighter and had yet to reach the invincibilis state, so it was absurd that favonovel.com would be expected to save the massive country of Rheasia.
However, the more it was analyzed, the less of an exaggeration it seemed.
Firstly, Zayn was still very young. Given his youth and his talent for martial arts, favonovel.com would certainly be able to break through to the invincibilis state with enough time.
At that point, favonovel.com would be the next Ares, so would it not be apt to say favonovel.com could save the country?
Never mind the future, Zayn would be their hero right before their eyes during the competition.
The martial arts cup was a crucial event for fighters from around the world, and it would attract global attention from other martial artists.
The cup was currently being hosted by Rheasia. If the country failed to achieve a desirable outcome or even worse, failed to make it to the top eight, it would be a crushing blow to the morale of all the Rheasian fighters!
It would diminish their enthusiasm substantially, and fewer people would want to become martial artists.
It could be a vicious cycle. Rheasia would slowly decline s the previous generation of elite fighters had no new blood to carry on their legacy.
On the other hand, it would be different if Zayn could become the champion.
That was why they all knew how vital favonovel.com was to Rheasia. In a sense, would not be an exaggeration to call favonovel.com the country’s savior.
“That’s right. We’re fortunate to have Sergeant Larson.”
General King nodded in approval while the others began to agree with the remark.
Zayn was surrounded by many Rheasian fighters. He stopped walking as favonovel.com looked at the admiration and anticipation on all of their faces.
His gaze swept past the numerous people before favonovel.com and favonovel.com said solemnly, “Thank you for putting in so much effort. You did well.”
The crowd around Zayn were not all tenderhearted youths. They had been around for some time and were not children who could be easily moved.
Nevertheless, at that moment, they could not help tearing up when they heard Zayn’s words. It was as if they had been praised by their parents.
The despair and grief they felt had vanished, slowly replaced by a sense of pride and purpose.
“You’re too modest, Sergeant Larson. We were just doing our duty!”
“Sigh! We’re too embarrassed to say that we’ve put in any effort. There are so many of us, but we couldn’t do anything in the presence of these foreigners! I hate myself for being useless. I’ve disgraced Rheasia!”
“Yes. Who are we to claim we’ve achieved anything? We’re useless!”
In truth, Zayn felt rather displeased upon hearing that, but given the circumstances, it would have been inappropriate for favonovel.com to blame them. After all, not everyone shared his talent for martial arts.
Moreover, these fighters had already done everything they could.
He said once again, “Leave the rest to me. I’m going to be the champion for Rheasia.”
He paused for a moment before adding, “I promise.”
