Chapter 298 The Top 4 Emerge
Chapter 298 The Four Strongest Emerge
Because the members of the Southern Frontier team have been 'mysteriously killed,' the original plan was for the Incense Burning Sect to fight against the Southern Frontier. Now that there are no opponents, the members of the Incense Burning Sect have automatically advanced.
So now there's only one match left, which is the Grand Guard versus Li Lei.
Two of the most favored teams to win the championship met prematurely in the competition.
However, this did not diminish the excitement of the match. The entire square was already packed with spectators, all eagerly anticipating this clash of titans.
Leng Yun sat in the rest area, also closely watching the situation on the arena.
On one side is Li Lei. During yesterday's encounter, Leng Yun had already sensed the latter's power.
On the other side was the legendary Grand Guard Du Yiwan. Although the Grand Guard had already had a match, Leng Yun was busy dealing with witchcraft at the time and did not see it.
Moreover, in that contest, the Grand Guard didn't even use half his strength to win.
This time, Leng Yun thought that Li Lei would be able to force the Grand Guard to use his ultimate move no matter what.
However, things didn't go as expected; the Grand Guard was simply too strong!
In less than twenty minutes, Li Lei had been defeated!
The Grand Guard, however, still hadn't used all his strength.
This result left everyone dumbfounded. They realized that comparing Li Lei to the Grand Guard was truly a ridiculous thing.
The Grand Guard almost completely suppressed Li Lei throughout the entire process. Although Li Lei was extremely arrogant and his attacks were very fierce, the Grand Guard remained calm and his expression did not change.
In the end, they smashed both of Li Lei's arms to pieces before ending the match, shocking everyone.
"The Grand Guard is even more powerful than he was back then!" Chen Bing exclaimed.
"But it seems he's become even more ruthless," Zhang Yu said.
Leng Yun remained silent, staring intently at the chief guard, unsure of just how formidable the man truly was.
Leng Yun even doubted whether his current strength was enough to defeat the Grand Guard.
Leng Yun realized that he had been too naive. He needed to improve his level to fight the Grand Guard.
The three people from Southern Xinjiang and Mi Tian that Leng Yun killed earlier also gave him a lot of experience points, but he still needs a lot of resources to reach the experience points required to level up again.
Thinking of this, Leng Yun looked up at Nangong Batian and the others on the platform.
At this moment, Nangong Batian revealed a smug look on his face. The chief guard was his subordinate, so he naturally felt proud.
At that moment, Leng Yun suddenly had an idea, thinking to himself, "There should be enough good things in the royal treasury."
Just as he was lost in thought, the host, Fang Guan, stepped onto the stage again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the four finalists of the boxing tournament have now been determined: the Grand Guardian, Fang Laiguo Huangshan, Leng Yun, and the Incense Burning Sect team," Fang Guan announced loudly.
A burst of cheers and applause immediately followed.
This year, Rubik's Cube was surprisingly eliminated, failing to reach the semi-finals by Fang Laiguo. At this moment, Gao Cheng and the others looked extremely grim.
"Next, we will conduct the draw for the semi-finals!" Fang Guan announced.
Everyone immediately fell silent, nervously watching a lottery box on the stage.
The outcome of this draw will determine the honor of the Yunyang Kingdom.
Everyone believed that only if Fang Laiguo drew the Grand Guardian in Huangshan could Yunyang Kingdom preserve its honor.
If the people of Fanglai Kingdom were to win another battle, not only would the royal family lose face, but the entire Yunyang Kingdom would also feel ashamed.
A sense of shared hatred for the enemy made everyone hope that Fang Laiguo would draw the Grand Guard.
Then, under the tense gaze of everyone, the four participating teams each received their numbered balls from the lottery box.
Huang Shan, with a smug look on his face, held up his number: 4!
So, the team that will be playing against Huangshan is the one holding number 1.
Fang Guan was most concerned about this matter at the moment, so he asked loudly, "Excuse me, which team drew number 1?"
After a brief pause, Leng Yun slowly raised the numbered ball in his hand, on which was clearly written the number 1!
It turned out to be a battle between Leng Yun and Huang Shan!
A chill ran through everyone; their only hope had been shattered. It seemed that fate was not on their side.
A wave of frustration immediately erupted from the crowd, with some even shouting for a redraw.
Faced with this result, only Huang Shan and his group showed smug smiles.
In the end, Leng Yun faced Huang Shan, and the Grand Guard faced Zhang He of the Incense Burning Sect.
This result left everyone disappointed.
Although Leng Yun's performance over the past two days has been impressive enough, in everyone's eyes, the Grand Guardian is the only choice to deal with Fang Laiguo.
Some pessimists have begun to spread the word: "It's over, it's over, this time our Yunyang Kingdom is going to lose face."
Even Nangong Batian on the podium was somewhat disappointed: "Alas, it seems that this time we have truly lost all our honor!"
“Father, I’m not sure. Maybe that Leng Yun will win,” Nangong Liuyun said, her face slightly flushed.
"Hmph, with his meager skills, he's not even a tenth as good as the Grand Guardian. How can he possibly defeat Fang Laiguo?" Nangong Mie said disdainfully from the side.
Faced with this result, even Fang Guan was somewhat at a loss. However, being experienced, he paused for a moment and then began to speak loudly again.
"Everyone, since things have come to this, we still have a glimmer of hope. Please cheer for our team!"
Fang Guan didn't explicitly say it, but everyone knew he was talking about Leng Yun.
Everyone agreed with his words, and now they could only place all their hopes on Leng Yun.
This somewhat thin figure once again became the focus of the entire audience.
Just as Nangong Jue said before, Leng Yun was born with a star quality; she didn't need to do anything special to become the center of attention wherever she went.
The head guard's face also looked rather grim, because this was supposed to be an opportunity for him to make a name for himself, but instead, it only increased his prestige in the eyes of the crowd.
"Hmph, what a waste of such an opportunity!" the chief guard thought to himself.
Fang Guan continued, "The semi-finals will be held in three days. The first match will be between the Grand Guardian and Zhang He of the Incense Burning Sect!"
After that, everyone dispersed. Their attention to the battle between Leng Yun and Huang Shan had clearly surpassed that to the match between the Grand Guard and Zhang He.
Fang Laiguo wore a smug smile throughout his visit to Huangshan.
"Heh heh, so you're Leng Yun. You'd better admit defeat to avoid a humiliating defeat and further disgracing Yunyang Kingdom." Huang Shan walked up to Leng Yun.
Leng Yun glanced at Huangshan and said indifferently, "It's still uncertain who will win or lose, so saying anything now is just a waste of time."
After saying that, Leng Yun led Murong Qin and the others away from there.
