It makes sense, those social youths often hang around the arcade, it would be hard for them not to be impressive.
Seeing Lin Yifan take another round, Zhou Jiajia and the others got even more excited.
The current situation was tied at two-all, meaning both sides were back at the starting line; who would be the final victor depended entirely on the last round.
"Yifan, come on! You're the best."
"Yifan, I believe you can definitely win!"
Zhou Jiajia and the others continuously cheered for Lin Yifan, giving him confidence and strength.
With this strength, Lin Yifan felt even more confident about winning the last round.
The fifth round started quickly, and everyone was focused on this match.
This was all about the final winner of a billion-dollar bet, and the ultimate hero showdown—it demanded full attention.
Yagami Iori versus Yagami Iori.
"Ready Go!"
At the start of the match, Qin Zikang's Yagami Iori leaped forward, launching a heavy punch, attacking Lin Yifan's Yagami Iori.
At that moment, Lin Yifan also wanted to jump, but unfortunately, since he jumped too late, Qin Zikang's Yagami Iori got there first and attacked first.
Thus, the match was about who reacted faster, just like in a hundred-meter sprint, if you start a fraction of a second faster than the others, you have a better chance of finishing first.
Afterward, Lin Yifan controlled Yagami Iori to defend on the ground, while Qin Zikang's Yagami Iori crouched and launched Light Foot, kicking Lin Yifan's Yagami Iori; then he followed up with Light Fist, and continued fiercely with "Sunflower Three Stages," not giving Lin Yifan's Yagami Iori a chance to react.
After "Sunflower," there was a second to react. At this moment, Lin Yifan immediately made his Yagami Iori jump up, trying to counterattack; however, Qin Zikang's Yagami Iori jumped earlier, so his Yagami Iori was kicked down again.
The next second, Qin Zikang's Yagami Iori had landed, while Lin Yifan's Yagami Iori was still in the air.
Qin Zikang quickly controlled his Yagami Iori, using Light Foot to attack the landing Yagami Iori.
After striking, he immediately stood up, executed "Dream Bullet," punched Lin Yifan's Yagami Iori, followed by another "Double Sunflower," preventing Lin Yifan's Yagami Iori from touching the ground.
Lin Yifan's Yagami Iori was backed into a corner with nowhere to go. At that moment, Qin Zikang wanted to use Yagami Iori's infinite "Sunflower" combo to finish off Lin Yifan's Yagami Iori.
Unfortunately, he was still half a beat slow, allowing Lin Yifan's Yagami Iori a chance to land.
Upon standing up, Lin Yifan immediately controlled his Yagami Iori, jumped over Qin Zikang's Yagami Iori, trying to counterattack from behind with "Chaff Wind."
However, Qin Zikang had already anticipated his moves; as soon as he came over, he was hit by Qin Zikang's Yagami Iori's "Dream Bullet Two Stages," followed by another "Chaff Wind" that threw his Yagami Iori aside, and then continued with "Sunflower Three Stages."
Unfortunately, the combo didn't connect, allowing his Yagami Iori a chance to land.
At that moment, the experienced Qin Zikang quickly jumped up, executed a Heavy Punch and Leap Attack on Lin Yifan's Yagami Iori, immediately continued with "Dream Bullet Two Stages, Triple Sunflower, Foreign Hang," forcing Lin Yifan's Yagami Iori into a corner and brutally finishing him off.
"KO!"
With that, the last round ended, and it only took an unbelievably short fifteen seconds.
"Wow!!!"
Everyone exclaimed in awe, marveling at the prowess of Qin Zikang's Yagami Iori.
"A champion is a champion, and the mastery of Yagami Iori is no joke."
"The idol is still too young, and he has a long way to go."
"Not a drop of blood was shed, a crushing victory, this is the difference in strength!"
"Incredible, those moves, that reaction, it's absolutely dazzling; if it were me, I wouldn't have had a chance to fight back either."
...
Once again, witnessing the prowess of Qin Zikang's Yagami Iori, all the players present felt inferior.
Playing Yagami Iori requires quick reactions, only then can you corner your opponent and leave them powerless.
"Hmph!"
Qin Zikang smiled at the corner of his mouth, this moment, all the glory was his.
"What about it? Willing to admit defeat?"
He turned his head with immense smugness, asking Lin Yifan beside him. Besides, he wanted to see the dejected look on Lin Yifan's face after losing the game.
Unfortunately, it did not go as he wished.
"Hmph!"
Lin Yifan, with his head lowered, let out a cold laugh and then replied, "It's just a loss of ten billion, what's the big deal? Don't forget, you still owe me ninety billion."
"You..."
Qin Zikang was really infuriated; he thought Lin Yifan would be left speechless, but Lin Yifan's tone was still so grand, his attitude, so arrogant.
"Then do you dare to compete with me again?" Qin Zikang suppressed his anger and asked.
"I, Lin Yifan, have never been afraid of anything, and seeing how arrogant you are, I've decided to teach you a lesson on The King of Fighters." Lin Yifan fearlessly replied, his demeanor calm, seemingly unaffected by the recent defeat.
"So arrogant! In that case, just wait to be in debt!" Qin Zikang sneered, thinking that Lin Yifan was just stubbornly protecting his pride.
However, this was exactly what he wanted to see.
The statement Lin Yifan made just before truly stung him; he wanted to turn the tables and make Lin Yifan owe him money. Only then would he feel confident enough to boast and look down on Lin Yifan.
Losing the game inevitably caused Zhou Jiajia and the others to feel dejected; however, they did not blame Lin Yifan but instead encouraged him to gather himself and keep striving.
"Yifan! You did great, I believe in the next round, you'll do even better," Zhou Jiajia comforted.
"Yifan, come on! I believe in you," Su Qingqing comforted.
"Yifan, I know you can win, I believe in your ability," Xiao Fang comforted.
Xiao Fang said this because she knew Lin Yifan had photographic memory, integration, and the ability to counter moves quickly; thus, she was very confident in Lin Yifan, not merely offering superficial comfort.
She believed that at this moment, Lin Yifan was not disheartened and guessed that the last round was just Lin Yifan throwing a sprat to catch a herring, aimed at learning more operational skills from Qin Zikang.
Therefore, she wasn't worried about Lin Yifan's mood like Zhou Jiajia and Su Qingqing.
During the competition's victory, Qin Zikang's girlfriend was happy for Qin Zikang, but after the scolding earlier, she didn't dare speak to Qin Zikang for fear of being scolded again.
But what she didn't know was that Qin Zikang was very bothered by why she wasn't talking to him now, why she wasn't praising him.
In contrast, looking at Zhou Jiajia and the others, Qin Zikang felt that his girlfriend was really awful; blaming him when things were bad, and remaining silent when things were good, he really didn't know what to say anymore.
He decided, that tonight he would break up with her, never wanting to see this despicable woman again.
