2079 I Won’t Disappoint The President! (4)
This was a strategy that would leave both parties severely wounded!
Gadon’s eyes widened with fear, and he hastily retreated, but he couldn’t escape. He was instantly struck by the axe’s edge.
Splat!
A mouthful of blood gushed from his mouth as he was sent flying. His armor shattered and there was a long axe mark left on it. Fresh blood spurted out.
As their domains dissipated, both men fell almost simultaneously and collapsed on the ground, covered in blood.
Gasp!
The audience below the platform erupted in astonishment. No one had expected this outcome.
Both of them had fallen!
Was it a draw?
They found it unbelievable.
Everyone could tell that Gadon’s strength was superior, yet the result was like this.
Just then, on the platform, one of them suddenly stirred, slowly climbing to his feet.
Wade!
He had managed to get up once again, swaying as he stood on the platform, his face and body covered in blood.
He had stood up but Gadon could no longer get up.
At this moment, this once seemingly timid chubby guy showed a ruthless and determined side. No one dared to underestimate him any longer.
The Constellation Society won!
The Constellation Society won again!
The members of the Constellation Society below burst into cheers, their emotions running high.
They were supposed to be the underdogs, and yet they managed to win two rounds in a row, surprising even the members of the Constellation Society themselves.
This outcome was completely unexpected!
Wen Ningfu widened her eyes and couldn’t help but cover her mouth. She began to doubt if her words had some magical power.
She had hoped earlier that Gadon would lose, and it had happened.
Did her words have some sort of mystical influence?
No way! She mustn’t let her president know what she said. If not, she would be dead.
On the spaceship of the Qingyan Society, Feng Qingyan’s face was as calm as water. He glanced at the high-ranking members of the Qingyan Society, his eyes flashing with coldness.
Was this what you assured me, that you had the confidence to win the following rounds?
Feng Qingyan wanted to punch someone right now. These people had promised him with absolute certainty that they could win the subsequent rounds. Yet, the outcome of the second round was so humiliating.
They lost!
And they lost so terribly!
This had completely disrupted his plans.
He wanted total domination. He wanted to crush the Constellation Society completely.
He wanted to show Wang Teng that their newly formed association wasn’t even qualified to be his stepping stone.
However, now, they had lost the first two rounds of the competition.
Even if they managed to win the remaining matches, it would still not be an impressive victory.
“President!” One of the high-ranking participants of the Qingyan Society cautiously addressed Feng Qingyan.
“Speak,” Feng Qingyan replied, suppressing his inner anger.
“We still have a chance. The contestants in the following matches, such as Qi Lianfeng, are all prodigies who ranked in the top twenty of the Freshmen Leaderboard. We purposely placed them toward the end to astonishment the Constellation Society. The happier they are now, the more disheartened they’ll be later,” the Qi Lianfeng’s high-ranking member explained.
“Are you sure?” Feng Qingyan inquired.
“Absolutely sure! I have no doubt that Qi Lianfeng and the others can win,” The Qingyan Society’s high-ranking member stated confidently.
Feng Qingyan wasn’t entirely convinced, so he turned to Ruan Banlian.
“The talents of Qi Lianfeng and the others are indeed impressive. There should be no one in the Constellation Society who can match them.” Ruan Banlian frowned and contemplated for a moment before nodding.
“In that case, I will take another look,” Feng Qingyan mentioned calmly.
“We will not disappoint you.” The member of the Qingyan Society assured, wiping the perspiration from his forehead.
…
In the arena, the third round of the competition was about to begin.
Below the platform, Yue Qiqiao looked to Yue Qiqiao, who was standing not far away, and whispered, “We’re counting on you for this match. The opponent they’re sending out is Qi Lianfeng, ranked 15th on the Freshmen Leaderboard. He should be the strongest among them.”
Yu Yunxian nodded in response but didn’t say much. His figure lightly shimmered, and he appeared in the arena.
“Sister Yue, will he be alright?” Wade whispered.
It was understandable why he would ask. Although Yu Yunxian was the crown prince of the Great Qian Empire and had performed spectacularly in the League Of Talents, he had been nurturing in seclusion for some time now. No one knew the extent of his growth in strength during this period.
In Wang Teng’s eyes, the crown prince appeared to have lost some of his former radiance since being defeated by Wang Teng, and it was difficult to see him shine as brightly as he did before.
“Go get treated for your injuries quickly. Do you really think there’s a problem with him? That Qi Lianfeng can’t possibly be his match,” Yue Qiqiao replied, glancing at the rather miserable-looking, wounded, fatty Wade. Him being concerned about these matters despite his severe injuries made her both amused and exasperated.
“Really?” Wade was surprised.
“You’ll see in a moment,” Yue Qiqiao said.
“In that case, I’ll watch this match first and then get my injuries treated,” Wade said.
“Are you alright?” Yue Qiqiao questioned with a strange expression.
“I won’t die,” Wade said, pressing on his wound, causing another pool of gore to ooze out.
Yue Qiqiao: …
“Haha, no problem, no problem!” Weide chuckled awkwardly.
As they spoke, both sides had already taken their positions in the arena. Representing the Qingyan Society was Qi Lianfeng, who was ranked 15th on the Freshmen Leaderboard.
Although it may seem like he couldn’t break into the top ten, in reality, over the six months since Wang Teng’s departure, many new talents had emerged, and now the top ten spots were occupied by some unfamiliar names. As for Wang Teng, he was nowhere to be found in the rankings.
Anyone who could make it into the top 30 was undoubtedly an exceptional talent among talents and should not be underestimated.
