Match Between Equals (Part One)

"Finally, it's my turn again! Hahaha—"

Yuri beamed with delight and flipped over the competitors' seating area to jump down, but Qi Shuang pressed her back into her seat.

The most troublesome part was that the fellow had also learned Might Guy's Eight Gates Formation.
