Although the man spoke in a low voice, he was also a Cultivator, so he could hear what the other man was saying.

Scolded and glared at by Qin Zikang like this, the man was so frightened that his Three Souls and Seven Spirits nearly left his body, and he trembled all over.

He wasn't Lin Yifan, who had strength and a background. He was just an ordinary person; if Qin Zikang really hit him, he would have no choice but to take the beating.

After giving a good scolding to those bystander gamers annoying as flies, Qin Zikang then turned around and said amicably to Lin Yifan, "Come on! Let's continue the PK!"

"Fight again? I'm worried you won't be able to handle the loss mentally!" Lin Yifan taunted with zest.

Others might not dare, but he did.

And hearing this, the surrounding gamers felt incredibly satisfied, as if Lin Yifan had avenged them.

"The idol is still a good person, my affection for him isn't wasted."

"That's exactly how you should mock Master Qin Dog Egg."

...

On the other hand, Qin Zikang was grinding his teeth in hatred. Lin Yifan really had no respect for him; he had just scolded those mocking him, and now Lin Yifan was mocking him too, paying no heed to his previous words.

But that was also normal, since he had just mocked others in that manner, it was only fair for him to be mocked in return.

"What's there to handle? It's just losing two rounds, isn't it? Speaking of which, you still owe me a billion," Qin Zikang curled his lips and replied with affected pride.

"Well, by that logic, you still owe me a hundred billion," Lin Yifan shot back.

"You..." Qin Zikang was infuriated, in his heart, he was dead set against acknowledging this debt, because it was simply Lin Yifan's unilateral wish, without any legal binding.

"Is it not so?" Lin Yifan retorted, his tone threatening.

Qin Zikang understood very well what signal Lin Yifan was sending, and to be honest, he was feeling extremely wronged. Even though he was loath to admit it, he had to force himself to acknowledge it.

Because before his backup arrived, he indeed lacked the confidence to stand up to Lin Yifan. And even if reinforcements came, it might not change the fact of this debt.

"Let's fight! I refuse to believe I can't beat you!" Qin Zikang changed the topic, trying to pull the wool over the eyes.

However, how could Lin Yifan let him off the hook? So he pressed, "You still haven't answered my question, have you?"

"What's there to answer? Isn't it just a hundred billion I owe? I'm loaded, let's just fight!" Qin Zikang lost his patience as well; now all he wanted was to win the match. Other things, he couldn't care less about.

"Fine! Then I'll play with you!" Lin Yifan was very pleased; Qin Zikang had admitted it himself, and he hadn't forced him at all.

In the sixth match, Qin Zikang finally changed his eternal lineup, and even the order of the heroes' appearance was different.

The heroes he chose were the Monkey, Chen Guohan, and Yagami Iori.

The combined rankings of the first two heroes in The King of Fighters '97 were fifth and fourth respectively.

The Monkey wasn't the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, but rather a shorty with a hat and glasses, featuring claw blades on his hands often seen on the protagonist of the movie Wolverine.

Because his movement, behavior, and mannerisms resembled a monkey, players nicknamed him the Monkey.

The Monkey was the most agile character in The King of Fighters '97, known as the king of flight.

His Sky Drill could attack in any direction, with JC forwards or backwards, it was virtually impossible to guard against.

In contrast to the Monkey's slender figure, Chen Guohan looked quite chubby and muscular.

He was a big fat man, his weapon a giant chained ball, easily many times larger than those used in the Olympics.

He was the biggest hero in The King of Fighters, unbeatable by anyone, not even by Big Gate.

Though he was very fat and not particularly agile, he had three trump cards: JCD.

Spinning his iron ball, performing the Great Destructive Toss, with a ridiculously effective air control, the Air Supremacy Tyrant—exerting immense pressure. If cornered by Chen Guohan when out of breath, it was nearly impossible to escape.

His ordinary skill damage scored first with 97 points, as did his energy gathering speed. The fat man was a formidable character, and whoever faced him found it extremely troublesome, utterly ferocious.

Qin Zikang picked this lineup mainly to intimidate Lin Yifan, catching him off guard.

With a new lineup comes new tactics. After all, every hero in The King of Fighters '97 has their uniqueness, and if Yifan wanted to win against him, he would definitely have to learn to adapt. Otherwise, he was bound to lose.

Clearly, Yifan was not to be outdone, choosing a new lineup himself, intent on disrupting Zikang's formation and crushing his sinister plans.

The new heroes he brought in were Mai Shiranui and Shingo Yabuki.

The first two heroes were just there for show, so it didn't matter much which ones were chosen.

Mai Shiranui also appears in Honor of Kings, but she was ported from The King of Fighters, with an almost identical character design, albeit Mai from KOF '97 seemed a bit sexier, dubbed the ultimate support character, one could imagine.

Even though Mai Shiranui was not ranked in the top ten, Yifan chose her to give the audience a visual feast.

"What a huge chest, I just wonder if our idol can still fight."

"Our idol is battle-hardened; how could he not know how to fight?" the speaker couldn't help but sneak a peak at Zhou Jiajia's considerable chest, chuckling lewdly.

Yifan was disgusted to hear such remarks and quickly flicked a Game Coin, hitting the sleazy man right in the mouth.

"Ah!"

The next second, the sleazy man screamed in agony, having lost a few teeth, pain echoing through him.

He guessed who had struck him, and from then on, he dare not ogle the idol's woman again.

This was a warning, the next time wouldn't be as simple as tossing Coins.

All players kept their mouths shut, cautious in their behavior.

As the saying goes, illness enters through the mouth, and trouble comes out of it. Keep your mouth in check to avoid calamity.

Having discussed Mai Shiranui, let's move on to Shingo Yabuki.

This hero should be familiar to everyone, his iconic look being that of a broom head.

His upright golden hair and trendy outfit made him one of the most popular heroes in The King of Fighters, second only to Yagami Iori and Kusanagi Kyo.

?He was a well-rounded character, agile and with strong fist and foot attack judgments, long reach, high continuous damage, practicability, and an easy operation that included a bastard combo 2B+ super killer move that sent chills down the opponent's spine.

Yifan chose Shingo Yabuki wanting to demonstrate just how powerful his "Super Dragon Punch" was to Zikang.

Also, Shingo Yabuki ranked ninth among the heroes, a force not to be underestimated.

Both sides selected their lineup and sequence, and the match began.

The first round pitted The Great Sage Equalling Heaven against Mai Shiranui.

Since Yifan wasn't very familiar with Mai's Skills, he was completely overpowered by Zikang's Great Sage; so, in less than ten seconds, his Mai Shiranui was defeated, like a brilliant firework, a transient beauty, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
