Chapter 405: Chapter 372: The Situation is Grim

"As for the few matches that were won, Wu Li, Li San, and Gao Jianping all won easily. You don’t really think it was because of you, do you? Zhao Lixin did follow your advice, and the result was a serious injury."

Wang Kehan looked at Li Tongyun, "Coach Li, is this your strategy?"

The room fell silent. Strictly speaking, what Wang Kehan said wasn’t wrong. Among the matches won last night, three were relatively easy, and for the rest that followed Li Tongyun’s strategy, they either lost or suffered serious injuries.

Li Tongyun, upon hearing this, didn’t get angry. Instead, she looked at Wu Li, "I’m only responsible for tactical analysis."

After speaking, she sat down directly, seeming not to intend to engage with Wang Kehan.

Wu Li couldn’t help but laugh, not expecting Li Tongyun to be so straightforward.

He stood up, looked at Wang Kehan, and his expression cooled.

He had thought Wang Kehan would have some limits even if disobedient, and a private conversation would resolve things. But now it looked like Wang Kehan, this troublemaker, was beyond Wu Li’s expectations.

"Coach Li was specially invited by me, and I acknowledge her level. To question her is to question me."

Wu Li looked at Wang Kehan, his face stern as he spoke.

Wang Kehan bit her lip, lifted her chin, and met Wu Li’s gaze, "But what if the coach’s lack of competence affects the whole team? What then?"

Wu Li calmly said, "Coach Li once helped Zhang Weili win the first UFC Strawweight Championship and also helped me win the UFC Lightweight Championship. Do you think her level isn’t enough?"

"That’s right, Coach Li has been of great assistance to me. Without her, I might not have won the championship!" Zhang Weili chimed in.

She had always been grateful to Li Tongyun and, of course, now wanted to voice her support.

Wang Kehan: "But judging from the results of last night’s matches, the strategy set by Coach Li didn’t seem to help much."

"Who says it didn’t help. I found it very useful," Guo Dongyang suddenly interjected.

"I got injured because I was impulsive, not because I fully implemented Coach Li’s strategy." Zhao Lixin also spoke up.

Seeing these two also supporting Li Tongyun, Wang Kehan suddenly didn’t know what to say.

She was just impulsive and now, having calmed down, realized: among those present, some were either friends of Wu Li, his disciples, or fighters signed with him. Except for Zhang Weili, Yan Xiaonan, and Chen Min, everyone else was on Wu Li’s side. How could they speak for her?

Although somewhat regretful, Wang Kehan couldn’t bring herself to apologize face to face, so she just stood there, frozen.

"As a professional athlete, the most basic quality is to follow the coach’s arrangements. As a member of the Hua Country Team, the most basic requirement is to follow the captain’s arrangements. From now on, I want you to listen to Coach Li’s plans and execute her strategies. Any issues?" Wu Li looked at Wang Kehan.

Wang Kehan clenched her fists, grinding her teeth, "No problem."

Wu Li looked at Wang Kehan for a moment, then suddenly said, "You don’t have to fight the next match against Nigeria."

He then turned to Chen Min and said, "You’re up for the next women’s Flyweight match. Listen carefully to Coach Li’s arrangement."

Chen Min was momentarily stunned, then nodded with some surprise, "Understood!"

Wang Kehan looked at Wu Li incredulously. She had directly contradicted Li Tongyun, partly because she was impulsive, but also because she thought herself indispensable.

Since Zhang Weili couldn’t compete due to physical reasons this week and with the next match in three days, she couldn’t play either. Against the Nigerian Team, where both female fighters were formidable, the only two viable competitors for Hua Country Team were Yan Xiaonan and Wang Kehan.

Currently ranking second in the group, if they couldn’t score more against Nigeria, the gap with the Island Country Team might widen. So Wang Kehan was bold enough to think that even if Wu Li was displeased with her, he would have to use her; otherwise, they might lose more points in the next match, affecting the final group rankings.

To her shock, Wu Li declared she didn’t need to join the next match!

"Why?" Wang Kehan couldn’t help asking.

Wu Li looked at her, "Because I need a team member who follows the coach’s orders, not one who does as they please."

Wang Kehan retorted, "But I’ve already agreed to follow the arrangement! Why am I not allowed to fight?"

Wu Li: "Are you trying to tell me how to do my job?"

Wang Kehan: "I..."

The intensity of Wu Li’s outburst made her too scared to respond, and she even felt afraid to meet his gaze.

"I used to dare to fight armed thieves, and now I’m terrified just looking him in the eye!" Wang Kehan was astonished inwardly.

She considered herself fearless, but now faced with Wu Li, she felt unprecedented fear followed by regret: had she known that Wu Li would dare not to use her, she definitely wouldn’t have publicly contradicted Li Tongyun.

Seeing Wang Kehan quiet down, Wu Li turned back and took his seat.

"Continue."

On the other side, Li Tongyun watched the entire process with interest. When Wu Li said to continue, she stood up and resumed analyzing the matches.

After analyzing seven matches of the Hua Country Team, Li Tongyun pulled up the previous night’s matches of the Island Country Team and the Nigeria Team, analyzing the seven players from Nigeria.

"The Nigeria Team has three strong players, among them two women. So if we want to score more in the next match, the first two bouts will be crucial."

"Yan Xiaonan, if nothing unexpected happens, your opponent will be her..."

The team members listened to the analysis with various thoughts.

With Zhao Lixin unable to play and Zhang Weili out due to injury, and now Wu Li replacing Wang Kehan, the Hua Country Team was effectively starting without three main players. It would be very difficult to score more points.

If they couldn’t score more against Nigeria, the gap with the Island Country Team could widen even further. Moreover, Zhao Lixin’s recovery time was uncertain, and Wang Kehan’s situation was unpredictable. The Hua Country Team’s prospects in the group stage had suddenly become very grim!
