Chapter 101: The Round of 32 Ends
Chapter 101: The Round of 32 Ends
Ishikawa Ken, sitting on the sidelines, quickly recalled the entire battle and suddenly realized that from the beginning until now, whenever he got close to Zhuge Qing, his speed and strength would slow down!
Seeing the smile on Zhuge Qing's lips, Ishikawa Ken knew he might have fallen into his trap.
He's in the middle of the game.
Unbeknownst to him, he had already entered the trap set by Zhuge Qing.
Feeling the blockage in the flow of Qi within his body, Ken Ishikawa knew that continuing the match was pointless.
Normal moves are no longer enough to win unless more dangerous sword techniques are used.
But it's unnecessary. That kind of sword technique is too dangerous. If you don't control it well and hurt the Zhuge family descendant on the other side, it will be troublesome. There's no need to use it at this Luo Tian Grand Ceremony.
I was just here to spar; there's no need for me to use such a dangerous sword technique.
Having figured this out, Ken Ishikawa slowly stopped and raised his hand.
"Referee, I concede."
Zhuge Bai, standing on the stands, jumped up excitedly and shouted loudly at Liu Wu Kui.
"See? I told you so, my brother won!"
The viewers during the live stream also sent out a large number of celebratory comments.
Although they couldn't understand why Ishikawa Ken surrendered so readily, it was good that their own people had won!
"The victor is Zhuge Qing of the Wuhou School!"
After the referee announced the final winner of the match, Kenjiro Ishikawa stepped forward and approached Zhuge Qing, bowing respectfully.
"Mr. Zhuge is truly amazing. Today's battle proves his reputation is well-deserved."
Zhuge Qing was surprised that his friend across the table could speak Chinese, and politely replied in return.
"Mr. Ishikawa, you flatter me. I only won because of the rules. Your swordsmanship is also excellent."
Amidst the back-and-forth compliments, the two walked off the field together, chatting and laughing.
It was as if the two of them weren't the ones fighting in the match just now.
……
With the end of the match between Zhuge Qing and Ishikawa Ken, all four matches in the Ding-class arena for today have concluded.
As soon as Zhuge Qing stepped out of the arena, he saw a group of people carrying a stretcher and running hurriedly down the mountain.
Zhuge Qing looked at the person who had just been lying on the stretcher with a puzzled expression; he seemed to have some recollection of him.
It seems to be Hong Bin of the Huode Sect?
He took out his phone and reviewed the live stream recording before he understood what had happened.
The fourth match of the C-class series that just ended was between Hong Bin and Bobby, a superhuman from Behemoth.
Poppy's ability seems to be ice and snow creation, capable of absorbing heat and generating ice.
Hong Bin's flames were completely absorbed by Poppy, and he was even frozen solid during the match.
He suffered frostbite to varying degrees all over his body, and has now been sent down the mountain for treatment by his own sect members.
As Zhuge Qing watched the video, which showed most of the venue shrouded in solid ice, his fear of Behemoth's existence grew even stronger.
I've heard that Behemoth has been researching the ability to mass-produce Inhumans, and Poppy seems to be one of their best creations.
His abilities were stimulated by drugs, unlike theirs which were acquired through cultivation.
I wonder if Poppy's abilities are replicable. The thought of mass-producing Inhumans of this caliber is terrifying.
……
With the conclusion of the final match, all of today's matches have been successfully completed.
Many people find it hard to accept their elimination; those who have made it this far are basically the most talented disciples from their respective families.
From childhood to adulthood, they are often the victors.
Today, they were suddenly told that they could go home after making it to the top 32, which was a big blow to them.
Longhushan Athletes' Medical Room.
Feng Xingtong cautiously looked at her older sister, Feng Shayan, who was lying on the bed. Ever since she lost to her opponent and returned to the medical room, she had been lying on the bed without saying a word.
"Sister... Sister, don't be sad. It's normal to win and lose in competitions. I was eliminated in the top 128 too, wasn't I? Hahahaha..."
Feng Xingtong, who was laughing heartily, caught a glimpse of Feng Shayan's death stare out of the corner of her eye and immediately shut her mouth.
In Feng Shayan's view, the Feng family, as the dignified Ten Elders Feng Zhenghao, sent two people to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, but they were eliminated before even making it into the top sixteen.
This is a huge disgrace to the Feng family's reputation, especially since the person she lost to was a free spirit.
"It's so embarrassing that I lost to someone I've never even heard of."
Upon hearing this, Feng Xingtong couldn't help but recall the person who had defeated her older sister.
He appears to be an ascetic monk from the Peacock Kingdom, named Amar.
Even in his own country, he was not a famous monk, but just an ordinary ascetic from a small mountain village.
Yet this unknown person actually defeated his sister, Feng Shayan, on the field.
Amar didn't fight back at all at first, and was beaten by the sand swallows for quite a while.
But just when Fengshayan thought he had won, the wounded Amar suddenly stood up, and his whole body rapidly swelled up, turning into a four-meter-tall strong man.
His muscles became as hard as steel, and no matter how the sand swallows attacked, they could not break through his defenses.
Amar's speed also became incredibly fast. He caught the sand swallow that couldn't dodge in time and slammed her heavily to the ground.
After that, Fengshayan fell into a coma.
Just then, there was a knock on the door of the medical room. When Feng Xingtong opened the door, she saw Canglong rushing in.
"I've found out! I've finally found out about Amal's abilities from the Peacock Kingdom."
Lying on the bed, Feng Shayan's eyes lit up. After the match, Feng Xingtong asked the well-informed Canglong to find out what Amar's abilities were. Feng Shayan also wanted to know who had defeated her.
"That Amal seems to be a naturally gifted superhuman. His ability is called karma. In daily life, when he suffers pain, he can transform that pain into energy and use it to improve his recovery ability, vitality, and physical strength. Any pain can be turned into a power that strengthens him."
Furthermore, if he receives a large amount of damage in a short period of time, he can instantly convert all the damage into his own power, allowing him to enter a War God mode. His final giant form is a result of this effect.
After quickly finishing his explanation, Canglong handed a sheet of A4 paper to Feng Xingtong and ran away without looking back.
"I'm not going to talk to you anymore, you can see for yourselves. I need to go comfort Linglong, she's been eliminated too."
"Princess Linglong, wait for me! I'm coming right away!"
