This Coach Li, in his thirties, has played bowling in England for many years and has seen the world.

Of course, as long as it’s related to competition, you can bet on it. Bowling is definitely no exception, but when he heard it was five million per game, it really shocked him.

"Coach Li, it’s the Crown Prince who wants you to play with that country bumpkin for him."

The Crown Prince’s follower said.

"What if I lose?"

"Aren’t you 100% confident? How could you lose?"

"It’s hard to say in this competition."

Coach Li wouldn’t outright claim he’s certain to win, and seeing as the Crown Prince sent someone to invite him, it implies that opponent must be quite formidable.

"If we lose money, the Crown Prince takes the hit, but he hopes you win for him."

"I understand."

Wearing a suit, the gentlemanly Coach Li arrived at the venue and noticed many youths from the Capital City present, as a young man was teaching a young lady how to play bowling.

Liu Lingxiu had just decided to give bowling a try. She realized that when she inserted her three fingers into the ball to lift it, it felt heavy, even though it was the lightest one available.

Bowling balls range from six to sixteen pounds, with the lightest still weighing five to six pounds and being held with just fingers. It’s normal for Liu Lingxiu to find it heavy.

Ye Qiu saw a young man in his thirties approach, and after the man took off his suit and respectfully greeted the leader of the Crown Prince’s Faction.

"Coach Li, win once for me, and I’ll give you five hundred thousand."

"Crown Prince, what if I lose?"

"If you lose, you don’t need to pay, but I hope you win, understand?"

At this moment, Coach Li understood that losing wasn’t just about money; it concerned the Crown Prince’s reputation.

Getting involved with these rich and reckless youths was something he didn’t want to do but inevitably had to.

He had heard that the Crown Prince had already lost ten million, having lost two games. Clearly, this young man was formidable.

Ye Qiu paused, observing the young man, and noted that he seemed like a good coach, someone who often played bowling.

"Sir, how would you like to play?"

"Of course, the same way as that so-called Crown Prince’s game."

"What if we knock down ten pins each time?"

"Heh, that’s impossible. We’re going to play with the heaviest ball, the sixteen-pound one."

Sixteen pounds is roughly fifteen jin.

Holding something that weighs fifteen jin with one hand is challenging, let alone bowling with it.

Coach Li mostly practices with balls under ten pounds, no more than nine jin; anything heavier is challenging.

Unexpectedly, this young man chose the heaviest ball, indicating he wasn’t simple.

In fact, Coach Li already knew the young man standing before him was exceptional.

"I rarely play with sixteen pounds."

Coach Li was addressing the Crown Prince and his group since few people play with such heavy balls.

"Too light is boring, and we’re betting now, not joking around. Of course, if that ’Crown Prince’ admits he’s terrible at it, I won’t need to play against you."

Admit to being terrible?

Make the Crown Prince confess?

How could that be possible?

Coach Li realized this young man was indeed here to stir up trouble.

Even if he lost, he would still need to continue playing for the Crown Prince.

Approaching the station with the heaviest bowling ball, the ball seemed the same size but differed in weight.

Liu Lingxiu and Lin Xiang picked it up and found it extremely heavy.

When Ye Qiu picked up the sixteen-pound bowling ball and effortlessly slid it toward the pins, it hit the front pins directly.

Strike, perfectly hit, all ten pins knocked down.

At this point, Coach Li confirmed that the young man was certainly skilled. Although his posture wasn’t exactly standard, he was truly formidable.

When the young man also released the sixteen-pound ball with a certain flair, it struck the front pins.

All ten pins fell.

Strike, perfectly hit.

Seeing this, both Coach Li and the Crown Prince’s group breathed a sigh of relief.

However, it’s only the beginning, and lifting and shooting the heavy bowling ball consumes energy.

Initially, it shouldn’t affect much, but over time, physical strength and endurance will falter, leading to loss of angle, balance, and more.

As the second game began, Ye Qiu effortlessly knocked down the first ten pins.

Watching Ye Qiu’s relaxed demeanor, Coach Li actually felt intimidated.

Due to regular exercise, his physique and muscular arms seemed strong; in contrast, this young man appeared slim with no visible muscles, yet seemed so at ease.

Coach Li couldn’t figure it out.

However, when he released his own ball, it too hit perfectly and knocked down all ten pins.

As the youths of the Capital City cheered for Coach Li, he knew he’d manage the first five rounds but was unsure about the rest.

By the fifth game, when Ye Qiu released his ball, it remained a perfect strike, all ten pins down.

Picking up the ball, Coach Li was panting and sweating nervously, and Ye Qiu noticed his state was deteriorating.

This round, his opponent was bound to lose.

As his opponent’s ball rolled, this time he didn’t achieve a perfect strike, knocking down only eight pins, leaving two standing.

"The third five million."

Ye Qiu casually remarked.

Coach Li glanced at the Crown Prince and group; the Crown Prince frowned, realizing that while Coach Li wasn’t lacking skill, the heavier the ball, the more strength and endurance it demanded, unlike the nonchalant young man.

In this case, losing by the fifth round made sense for Coach Li.

Had it been the six-pound ones, Coach Li was confident that for the first twenty games, he could manage perfect strikes.

With the sixteen-pound one, by the fifth round, he was struggling.
