Chapter 122 The decisive battle begins
Chapter 122 The decisive battle begins
"It's getting late today. The quarterfinals will continue tomorrow. To increase fairness and viewing pleasure, the quarterfinals will be played in order, rather than at the same time like today."
After all eight battles were over, the head of the Lu family announced a break.
The list of the top eight was also hung high on the rostrum, namely:
Hao Wuliang, the Seventh Prince of Shangming
Prince Kongtonghong Yelu Hongxing
Swallow Tower Ice Thorn
Free practitioner Shui Yi
Tuoba Guanghui, the fourth prince of the Great Mongol Empire
Xiao Zhantian, the fifth prince of Daping
Dan Jiuyang, the Ninth Prince of Danxue
The Third Princess of Shangming Kingdom Hao Wushuang
"Alas! They are all members of the royal family. How can ordinary people compete with them?"
"This Shui Yi is not simple. Can he really reach this level through his own practice? It's a bit doubtful. Maybe he is a genius hidden by some powerful force."
After seeing the list, the people below were discussing it. Some sighed at the unfairness of fate and how it was not easy for a poor family to make it. Some people were doubting and speculating about Shui Yi's identity.
More people are discussing how to place bets tomorrow. In the past two days, some people became rich overnight in the casino, while many others lost their fortunes.
Feng Huan specifically asked Hua Luzhu to bet on his own victory. He put his entire fortune on the line, and now he can be considered a man who became rich overnight.
……
"Old Ghost Lu, now that the boy is ranked so high, he must have attracted the attention of Lord Tianming. Should we still take action against him?"
That night, the ancestors of the three major families gathered together again. The ancestor of the Shen family was worried that the better Feng Huan performed, the more disadvantageous it would be for them.
"What's there to worry about? We just need to be more discreet and not let them find out. Don't you understand that wealth and honor come from taking risks?"
"If we are discovered, our family will be implicated. How can we not be worried?"
"With the three of us having such high skills, it shouldn't be difficult for us to capture a young boy. If there are other people with him, we should kill them all to prevent the news from leaking out."
……
There is only one fighting arena left in the center of the city, which covers a much larger area than the previous one, taking into account that the battle in the final stage will be more intense.
Four seats were added on each side of the rostrum, and the eight young geniuses sat on both sides.
"The first match will be between Hao Wuliang and Hao Wushuang." The referee announced the start of the fight.
"The first match is a fight between brothers. Let's see how these two siblings fight!"
"It's probably just a casual sparring session! No real fight."
"Little sister, you have been away for more than two years. The Queen misses you very much. Come back with us after the ceremony is over!"
"Seventh Brother, you have to beat me first! Don't let me!"
There are many brothers in the royal family, and they are not from the same mother. They don’t interact much with each other normally. It is only because the seventh prince is closest to Wushuang in age that they are a little closer.
"Well then! Be careful! Come on, I want to see how much progress you've made in the past few years!"
"Little sister, your martial arts is not our family's martial arts. Did you get a better one outside?"
"Of course, my luck is pretty good, sister. But none of you can practice this technique, otherwise I could pass it on to you."
The family-inherited martial arts of the Shangming royal family is a low-grade stone-level martial arts, the Shangming Xuanyu Gong. It was obtained by the first ancestor during an expedition, and therefore the country was named Shangming.
"Your technique should be of a higher level than that of your family, but from your appearance, you haven't practiced for long, and the true energy in your body hasn't been fully transformed yet. Otherwise, it could really pose a certain threat to me."
"Why not now? Try this new trick I learned."
"Phoenix fire all over the sky!"
The power of the fire element swept towards Hao Wuliang like an overwhelming force.
"Well done!"
"Golden carving and jade carving!"
A golden light flashed, splitting Wushuang's fire element attack into two.
"Forget it, I won't fight anymore. My Soul Shadow Skill has just been awakened and is not mature yet, so I won't show it off. You win!"
"You said you would come back with me if I win, don't cheat!"
"Don't worry, I also want to go back to see my mother."
"In the first match, Hao Wuliang wins?"
"The second match will be between Yelu Hongxing and Dan Jiuyang."
Yelu Hongxing and Yelu Hongtu's skills were exactly the same, but their overall combat power was slightly stronger. Feng Huan had an idea after reading it, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He sat on the stage and continued to close his eyes to comprehend the sword skills.
"In the second match, Yelu Hongxing won."
"The third match will be between Bing Ci and Xiao Zhantian."
Feng Huan slowly opened his eyes, stepped onto the fighting stage, held the sword in his right hand as sharp as a mountain, ready to fight.
Xiao Zhantian put on a pair of boxing gloves on both hands. These were his weapons. He was good at boxing. Every punch he threw was like a heavy artillery, extremely powerful. Just looking at the power of this boxing skill, it was not much worse than Dan Miaoman's gun skill, but it was completely not enough in front of Feng Huan.
However, Feng Huan had never fought with someone of this type, so he was not in a hurry to end the battle, but took the opportunity to observe and learn.
After a hundred moves, Xiao Zhantian saw that he was no match for his opponent in terms of boxing skills, so he used his Soul Shadow skill. However, Feng Huan defeated him with just one sword-slashing move that incorporated sword intent.
“In the third match, Ice Spike won.
"The fourth match will be between Shui Yi and Tuoba Guanghui."
Everyone thought this would be a battle of equal strength, but unexpectedly it ended the fastest. Shui Yi, the dark horse of free practice, was also a dark horse to the end.
"The top four are announced. I didn't expect that these two dark horses are unknown, but they are so outstanding. If they meet in the final, it will be a slap in the face of the big forces!"
"I really want to see what expressions those powerful forces will have when the time comes, especially the five royal families."
Most of the audience were from small forces, and they were very happy to see the big forces suffer a setback. They started discussing the issue one after another, with beaming eyes, and they wished they were the ones standing on the stage.
"In the fifth match, the first-ranked Hao Wuliang will face the fourth-ranked Shui Yi." The referee's excited voice interrupted the discussion in the audience.
"Shui Yi, come on!"
"Shui Yi is number one!"
Shui Yi's fans cheered for their idol at the top of their lungs.
This battle did not disappoint the audience. Hao Wuliang's gold elemental power was extremely sharp, and every move and style of his sword had the power to cut gold and jade. Shui Yi's awakening should be the power of the wind element. Her sword skills were agile and elegant, fast and changeable, and she could often attack from unexpected angles and positions. Her body movements were as erratic as the wind, fast and weird.
Feng Huan, who was watching from the sidelines, felt that Shui Yi's swordsmanship was more and more familiar. He kept searching his memory and eventually gradually overlapped with a man in black.
"Could it be him!"
"I didn't expect that there is someone among you who can awaken the power of the wind element. It seems that this person may be the variable this time." Lord Tianming also paid a little attention to the battle on the field at this time. After all, if there is no outstanding person at this point, then the revelation of destiny may be wrong.
"This little girl is really good, and what's more rare is that she is not from any big power." The head of the Lu family echoed. At the same time, he sent a telepathic message to the butler, "After the ceremony, you will immediately go find Shui Yi and do everything possible to recruit her into the family. She can set any conditions."
Not only the Lu family, but also the heads of the Shen and Dong families, after hearing Lord Tianming's comments, they also had ideas and made the same arrangements.
The battle between the two sides on the fighting stage has entered a fierce stage. Both of them use swords, and their skills have their own advantages and disadvantages, so they can be considered evenly matched.
"It's great! It's been a while since I've fought with my peers to this extent. Since it's hard to tell who's the winner in terms of martial arts moves, let's see who has a stronger character!"
Eight spots of light appeared on Hao Wuliang's body, flashing at an extremely fast speed, and a golden tiger shadow pounced towards Shui Yi.
Shui Yi did not dare to neglect it either. Eight points of starlight flashed, and a black rose flower shadow appeared in front of him. The flower shadow shook lightly, and countless black spikes flew towards the golden tiger.
In an instant, the gold was silently submerged by the black and disappeared into thin air, while the black spikes continued to rush towards Hao Wuliang mercilessly.
