Young Master Changchuan actually matched Ku Wuyai, and everyone's hearts tightened instantly.
Bai Shishi's matched opponent immediately admitted defeat, but everyone looked at Long Chen's nameplate and couldn't help but gasp—Liao Yuhuang, that unfathomable Qin Sect expert.
In the quarterfinals, both Bai Shishi and Gui Yun's opponents conceded defeat, meaning there were only six matches in the quarterfinals.
"Confident?"
For the first time ever, Bai Shishi spoke to Young Master Changchuan.
Young Master Changchuan said gravely, "I probably am no match for him, but I will do my utmost to force all his trump cards." "
Young Master Changchuan was also a formidable figure who once fought Ku Wuyai. In that match, the two exchanged thousands of moves, but in the end, Young Master Changchuan was cursed and defeated by Ku Wuyai."
After Long Chen pointed out the reason for his defeat, Young Master Changchuan felt that this time he could finally avenge his previous humiliation. However, after being apart for over a month, Ku Wuya's combat power had improved by leaps and bounds. Being able to withstand a treasure weapon with his physical body was simply unbelievable, which was a huge blow to him.
With no outsiders here, Young Master Changchuan could only speak honestly. He couldn't defeat Ku Wuya, so he could only unleash his full power and force more of Ku Wuya's trump cards.
"Then just admit defeat." Long Chen said.
"Brother Long..." Young Master Changchuan's expression changed.
Long Chen waved his hand and said, "I mean no underestimation of you. If you know you can't win, then don't make a move, lest your sharpness be drained again and again."
In a match between experts, the odds of winning by surprise are very low. In the end, it's all about absolute strength. In one-on-one situations, knowing your trump card makes little difference between knowing it and not knowing it.
Moreover, your Moonwatching Clan is also known for its strength. Its poison and curse perfectly counter you, and with equal combat power, everyone will suffer—let alone now.
Every defeat by a strong person deals a heavy blow to their sharpness. If you lose twice in a row to the same person, even if you are mentally prepared, your sharpness will be worn away. Over time, this will cause deep fear in the soul for such a strong person, which will hinder your future cultivation. "
But admitting defeat like this makes me a bit unwilling." Young Master Changchuan clenched his fists and said. He was also a prodigy of his generation, coming from a mysterious forbidden zone of life. If he admitted defeat here, he wouldn't be able to lose face.
Long Chen smiled: "Didn't you say your family's power didn't want you involved in this conflict?" If you leave now, consider it as obeying the family's orders. "
But...
"No buts, just listen to me. If you conserve your strength, you'll definitely have a place to put it to use." Long Chen waved his hand and said.
"Alright, I'll do as you say." Although somewhat reluctant, in the end Young Master Changchuan chose to listen to Long Chen and directly gave up on the competition.
But when Young Master Changchuan gave up, the entire viewing platform was in an uproar. They hadn't expected that Young Master Changchuan, who came from the mysterious forbidden zone, would actually admit defeat, leaving them deeply disappointed.
Bai Xiaole lost, Young Master Changchuan surrendered, and only Long Chen and Bai Shishi remained at Lingxiao Academy.
After the drawing ended, everyone returned to their residences. A day later, when the arena opened again, the atmosphere in the viewing platform grew even more tense and lively. Countless eyes fixed intently on the arena, each holding a recording jade, determined to capture every detail of the battlefield.
On the external battle stage, Zhong Ling, Zhong Xiu, and the others arrived early. When they saw Long Chen and the others enter, they cheered and waved to him.
All the disciples of Lingxiao Academy were cheering for Long Chen, but today's cheers weren't as loud as yesterday, because Long Chen's opponent was Liao Yuhuang.
Liao Yuhuang was dignified and dignified, noble but not arrogant, strong but not arrogant, earning countless admirers. So when these two faced off, they didn't know whom to cheer for.
In a matchup, one of them is bound to be eliminated. Their biggest worry is that both will end up hurting each other and neither will be able to advance to the next match.
In the quarterfinals, Bai Shishi, Gui Yun, and Ku Wuya all advanced directly, with only five matches remaining. Long Chen and Liao Yuhuang are in the third match.
The first match was a duel between two unfamiliar powerhouses. After all, it was a quarterfinal battle. The two first-generation powerhouses unleashed their full power, divine arts and Taoist arts intertwined. The battle was extremely intense, with neither side holding back. They fought not for rewards, but for honor.
There is a world of difference between making the top one hundred and making the top eight. If a sect disciple breaks into the top eight of the Martial Arts Tournament, his sect's reputation will soar, and that disciple will basically become the sect leader in the future.
Take the Chu family's four sons for example. If any of them can make it to the top eight of the Jiuzhou Tournament, that reputation will become their strongest trump card for the position of clan head, and the other sects will do the same.
In this world, the three most captivating things are power, fame, and wealth. Each one drives people mad, risking their lives.
An hour passed, and the fierce, storm-like battle between the two gradually began to subside. After such intense fighting, both of their strength began to wane. In the end, after a fierce exchange, both of them fainted simultaneously.
At this point, someone from Huayun Trading Company took the stage to assess their injuries. In the end, the person who retained slightly more power and suffered a lighter injury was declared the winner.
But that person's blood and essence were completely burned out, so the win was a crushing defeat. By the next match, he was probably still unconscious, making the quarterfinals the ultimate goal.
Whoever matches him in the next match will get a huge bargain—no need to compete, just advance directly.
"Buzz"
The second match began. The strong opponent in the second round was the tall, voluptuous, and beautiful woman.
Her opponent was also an extremely formidable first-generation powerhouse. As soon as she stepped onto the field, she erupted with a strange phenomenon and attacked with full force.
The beautiful woman crossed her arms over her chest, her ten fingers, as small as spring onions, dancing across her chest.
"Boom boom boom... The
ground exploded, and vines shot out from the ground, instantly filling the entire arena. The powerful fighter had just burst out but was trapped by endless vines.
His protective energy and the strange phenomenon behind him were shattered by the vines, causing the powerful figures present to gasp in shock.
"It's actually a wood-element expert."
Even Long Chen was shocked; this was the first time that woman had displayed her attribute attack.
On the vine, divine light flowed, shattering even the first-generation phenomenon of that person. No one knew what kind of power was attached to it to suppress the first-generation phenomenon. This scene shocked countless people.
"I admit defeat!"
The strange phenomenon vanished, trapped inside. She hurriedly shouted loudly. The beautiful woman slowly released her hands and teleported out of the arena, still using this same move to defeat her opponent.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen was teleported onto the arena, and Liao Yuhuang's figure appeared opposite him. The two stared at each other through a transparent light screen. For a moment, the entire arena fell into dead silence—this was a clash of titans, and everyone stared wide-eyed.
