Chapter 19: Crushing Victory
The next day, when Xu Ren'er and his companions arrived at the arena, they immediately received a new piece of news.
The format of the competition has changed a bit. Instead of four games a day, we will finish all the remaining games at once today, so that this round of competition will be completely over and we can jump directly to the next round.
"Why did you suddenly change the format?"
Xu Ren'er frowned and muttered.
Neither the contestants nor the onlookers understood. On the high platform, Ai Fengdou held a fan in his right hand, and smiled slightly at the confused expressions on everyone's faces.
This change is naturally related to Ai Fengdou.
The purpose of shortening the duration of the martial arts competition is of course to allow Ai Xiangshou to deal with state affairs more quickly.
The contestants had no objection to this rule change, and the onlookers also accepted it well.
Whether it’s one day earlier or later won’t have any impact on the contestants, and the onlookers will be happier because they can watch it all at once!
In fact, yesterday, Ai Fengdou and Ai Xiangshou went to see Ai Wanle together. Before Ai Fengdou proposed the idea of combining today's games into one day to speed up the progress of the game, he did not think he could quickly convince Ai Wanle.
I had prepared a lot of speeches in my mind and was about to speak, but I didn't expect that Ai Wanle actually agreed on the spot.
"You seem surprised?"
Ai Wanle was holding a bright yellow scroll in his hand. He looked up and saw that Ai Fengdou had a strange expression on his face. He raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Has my royal brother had this idea a long time ago?"
Ai Fengdou understood his brother, the emperor, and it was extremely difficult to get him to change his mind.
He agreed to this suddenly, probably because he had already had this idea in mind, and the suggestion he put forward happened to coincide with his brother's idea.
Hearing this, Ai Wanle stroked his beard and handed Ai Fengdou a scroll.
Ai Fengdou opened it and saw the list of contestants, full of names.
He didn't understand: "Is there something mysterious about this list?"
"No."
Ai Fengdou: "...Then what is the purpose of my royal brother giving me this scroll?"
"It's convenient." Ai Wanle said casually.
Ai Fengdou clenched his fists, mentally preparing to punch him, but considering that Ai Xiangshou was beside him, he had to give Ai Wanle some face as a father, so he held back.
But his eyes were unfriendly and he stared at Ai Wanle dimly.
Ai Wanle felt something was wrong and quickly explained Ai Fengdou's question, "I was responsible for receiving all the contestants and personally registered them. I have a rough idea of their level.
The next few games are almost the same as the previous ones. The gap in strength is too big, and they are all concluded quickly. I'm afraid that there will be only a few games here and there that will delay the progress slightly, but there is probably nothing worth watching.
Instead of doing this, it’s better to end it early and jump directly to the next round.”
——
Tang Qiuyue is the first game today.
Xu Ren'er: "Qiuyue, I wish you a triumphant return."
Mo Youli: "Be careful, safety comes first, don't try too hard, we are behind you!!"
Tang Beiju: "Save some dignity for the other party."
Tang Qiuyue raised the corners of her mouth high and strode towards the arena.
Just as Ai Wanle said, the gap in strength in the next competition is too great, and there is a huge difference between Tang Qiuyue and the other players.
And Tang Qiuyue is that cloud.
She didn't even bring out her axe, fighting with her bare hands against the group of armed opponents.
She dodged the attack of the first opponent by moving sideways, and with a knife, she struck the opponent on the back of the neck, killing him.
The next opponent was Shan Dao. She dropped from the sky with the blade facing Tang Qiuyue. This time, Tang Qiuyue did not dodge, nor did she quickly take out an axe from her waist to resist.
She chose to catch the blade with her bare hands!
With her palms pressing on both sides of the blade, Tang Qiuyue raised her head, looked at the other person, and smiled playfully.
Seeing this, the other party wanted to take back her knife, but found that her knife seemed to be stuck in a hard stone and could not be retrieved at all.
Tang Qiuyue pulled her arm back, and the opponent was pulled over with the knife. The two were very close to each other, and Tang Qiuyue immediately raised her leg and kicked the opponent in the abdomen.
One less opponent.
"You seem a little weak."
Tang Qiuyue's smile faded, she frowned frequently and spoke sullenly.
These words instantly activated everyone on the arena. They glared at the girl in red and decided to teach her a lesson.
Unfortunately, they were the ones who were taught a lesson.
Tang Qiuyue's strength was incredible. She only touched them lightly, but they suddenly felt as if they were being crushed by a huge rock.
She punched one person after another, grabbed a person's arm with her right hand and drew circles in the air. The person flipped in the air with her movements, and instantly collapsed to the ground, his eyes went black, and he fainted.
Tang Qiuyue curled her lips, looking uninterested. She had been looking forward to the match so much yesterday, but she didn't expect her opponent to not even make her want to draw her axe.
"Forget it, let's make a quick decision."
Tang Qiuyue no longer held back and simply took the initiative to attack, bending her legs and lowering her waist, and sweeping her leg sideways.
"Bang----"
Wherever her toes touched the ground, a long crack appeared.
She grabbed the edge of the crack in the ground with both hands, and the next second, she lifted the ground directly, and a large piece of stone slab appeared in front of everyone.
A punch hit the stone slab, and it shattered into pieces. Tang Qiuyue's hands were extremely fast, and she threw the broken small stones at everyone's feet.
Wherever a small stone landed, the ground exploded quickly, forcing the opponent to be thrown out of the arena.
In this competition, Tang Qiuyue easily won the victory!
Tang Qiuyue used her lightness skills to fly directly from the stage to Xu Ren'er, with a puffed-up look on her face, looking very unhappy.
"What's wrong? You've won, why do you look unhappy?" Xu Ren'er asked with concern.
"I thought I could meet Shangguan Jieshu like my brother and have a great time! I didn't expect..."
Tang Qiuyue sighed. She didn't expect that all her opponents were rookies, which made her unable to arouse interest at all.
In response, Xu Ren'er consoled him by saying, "This system of randomly assigning opponents really makes it difficult to decide who your opponent will be.
However, most of the players who make it through this round should be top-tier players, and they won't disappoint you in the second round."
"I hope so." Tang Qiuyue said dejectedly.
—
Everyone followed the soldiers to the new venue and the arena was replaced.
If the ninth game was an overwhelming victory, then the tenth game was undoubtedly a crushing victory.
After the five-colored python came on stage, it glanced around with its vertical pupils and then closed its eyes.
It didn't intend to do anything, just stood there quietly. Only when the game was announced to start, it slowly opened its eyes and released its internal force on the spot.
The surging internal force and the overwhelming pressure, even though they were not aggressive, made one's hair stand on end and filled one with fear.
The crowd far away was fine. Except for top masters like Ai Wanle, the others just gasped, broke out in cold sweat, and dared not move.
Those who were closer, those who were on the same fighting stage with the five-colored python, used their internal strength to fight back, but their internal strength was like an egg hitting a rock, and was completely ineffective.
Their legs went weak, and the group of gifted young people who had grown up together could not control themselves in front of this colorful python and knelt down on the spot.
Sweat turned their hair from dry to wet, and the tiny strands of hair stuck to the skin on their faces. They had unconcealable fear on their faces.
"I... admit... defeat..."
They were trembling all over, even their voices were shaking, and they had to use all their strength to shout out the words of surrender.
When the five-colored python heard the other party admit defeat, it immediately retracted its internal energy.
Its control over internal force is so smooth and natural. Unlike Xu Ren'er's deception, the five-colored python is a genuine top-level internal force expert.
The moment the pressure was removed from their bodies, the other contestants breathed a sigh of relief, and then they fell to the ground and fell into a coma.
"It seems that the top spot in this competition has already been reserved."
Ai Wanle touched his body and beard and said with a smile.
As soon as these words were spoken, all the contestants except the contestants who had been eliminated and the pink-green chicken looked unhappy.
Among them, the expression of chasing poison is the most exciting.
They were unwilling, but they could only clench their fists and look at the colorful python with fear.
I started simulating various battles to challenge the five-colored python in my mind, but unfortunately, I gained nothing.
The five-colored python didn't even make a move on the arena, and won without a fight. They were unable to analyze the five-colored python's skills at all, and had no idea how to come up with a winning strategy.
What's even more frustrating is that it's not certain whether the methods used on mammals will work on reptiles. If they fail, the snake in front of them will be so powerful that it will bite them to pieces.
Of course, there is one most crucial factor: they are afraid. Although they are far away, the invisible sense of oppression makes their hearts tremble.
Just from a mental point of view, they have completely lost.
The five-colored python came down from the arena little by little under the complicated gazes of the crowd. When it passed by Xu Ren'er and his group, it paused and glanced at Xu Ren'er leisurely. Its cold golden vertical pupils seemed to carry warmth.
Xu Ren'er's heart skipped a beat, and after hesitating for a moment, she raised her dog paw, ready to say hello.
However, before she could speak, the five-colored python turned around and left without saying a word.
Xu Rener: “…”
Well, it was her fault for hesitating for too long and making others angry.
——
"Race eleven: Shangguan Shujie, Su Jiangran, Wang Jinghong, Gao Wu, Cao Zixi, Pan Qingzhou, Zhang Shize, Liu Tao, Lü Rui, and Dongfang Molan. Please take the stage to compete."
When Shangguan Shujie's name was called, Shangguan Jieshu's eyebrows twitched in the audience, and he subconsciously looked at each contestant on the stage carefully, and finally stopped at a girl in pink.
The girl's appearance and temperament were completely different from the one he knew. Objectively speaking, it shouldn't be her, but his intuition told him that it was definitely her.
The girl in pink had two dark pink drumsticks hanging around her waist. She had an ordinary appearance and her body was deliberately hunched. There was nothing special about her except for her beautiful eyes which were clear and moving.
When the match was announced to begin, the girl in pink moved.
At the beginning, the pink-dressed girl's moves were deliberately strange, and Shangguan Jieshu once doubted himself whether he was thinking too much.
Gradually, the pink-dressed girl seemed to feel that her fighting was becoming increasingly difficult, so she simply merged the two drumsticks together and used her internal force to fuse them together, forming a long dark pink stick.
Seeing this, Shangguan Jieshu's self-doubt disappeared for the most part, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
And when the pink-clothed girl used the unique Monkey-viewing stick technique of their Shangguan family, Shangguan Jieshu completely confirmed the identity of the pink-clothed girl.
It's not just a matter of having the same name and surname. The girl in pink is none other than his biological sister, Shangguan Shujie.
