Chapter 260 Jinjiang Exclusive Release
After a moment of stunned silence, the referee stepped forward to check on Lu Chen's opponent. After confirming that he was unconscious, he shouted, "The winner is decided. Lu Chen wins this round!"
As he finished speaking, the silent scene was once again filled with more intense exclamations.
"What's going on? Why didn't I see what just happened?"
"That little guy just stretched out his hand and the other person fell? Isn't that cheating?"
"Cheating in front of His Majesty and so many adults, unless he wants to die, I guess they just saw him as a child and let him down."
"So he just won by chance, right? I still don't want to believe that such a young kid can be that powerful."
Compared to the shock and disbelief of the other residents, the reaction in the Yunlu Village viewing area was much more direct. Zhang Dafu, Li Kangbao, and other children jumped for joy, shouting, "Chenchen is amazing!" and "Chenchen is the best!"
Li Tie, Mr. Zhang and other elders were all pleased, and Lu Qing, as the elder sister, was even more proud.
Lu Qing didn't care when she heard someone in the distance say it was just a coincidence.
Once Chenchen wins another game, they will know whether it is just a coincidence or the real deal!
The other villagers, startled awake by the cheers from Yunlu Village, slapped their thighs and exclaimed, "This kid is from Yunlu Village! I heard there are so many people with supernatural powers over there that they can't even count them, and the elixir that grants supernatural powers also comes from Yunlu Village."
Someone who was well-informed added, "You probably don't know this, but this little fellow named Lu Chen is Yun Xianhou's biological brother!"
"What!?" The people were in an uproar.
Not all of them had seen Lu Xuan, but they had all heard of nutritional supplements, ice warming patches, medicines that worked immediately, and the existence of people with special abilities, and where all these miraculous things came from.
As Lu Chen's identity spread among the crowd, the voices of doubt suddenly became much less, and some people even changed their tone on the spot.
"I said he must have some confidence to dare to participate in the competition!"
"That's not what you just said."
…
High platform viewing area.
The new emperor looked at Lu Chen with admiration as he calmly walked back to the battle area, praising him, "You have such ability at such a young age. You are truly formidable young people."
Weiyuan Hou praised more directly, "As expected of Yunxian Hou's younger brother!"
"Marquis Yunxian, I wonder what special abilities your brother has?"
Lu Xuan said: "Gravity ability." He briefly explained what gravity was.
The people around were amazed.
"He has such a miraculous ability. No wonder he fell to the ground in an instant."
【Hahaha, isn’t it a surprise? 】
[I saw a lot of people in the audience criticizing Chenchen. Humph, now you know how powerful he is.]
[Although the second level is not high, it is also a gravity ability, basically invincible at the same level! ]
【Brother Chenchen is so handsome! 】
One official couldn't help but envy, "I heard Yun Xianhou's sister and brother-in-law are also psychics? That's truly enviable."
The others felt a sense of empathy when they heard this.
Even if they had gone through great pains to obtain an evolution liquid and decided on a candidate after a fierce internal struggle within the family, they might not be able to successfully awaken one. Considering that all four members of the Lu family were psychics, the contrast was too great.
It’s a pity that Lu Xuan doesn’t have a daughter to marry, otherwise it would be better to marry Lu Xuan directly than to anyone else, which would be the real way to success.
One official remembered that the psychic defeated by Lu Chen was from Licheng, and he turned to the co-magistrate He Hongde and said jokingly, "Master He, when you return, please teach the psychics of Licheng a lesson. Don't look down on your opponent just because he's younger than you. You must know that there are always people who are better than you."
He Tongzhi smiled awkwardly, "When I return, I will definitely urge them to strengthen their strength and not look down on anyone."
He was also very dissatisfied with the performance of his own psychic, but when he thought about the fact that although Lu Chen was young, he was Yun Xianhou's younger brother, and just based on this identity, it was not too shameful to lose.
"Okay, let's continue watching the competition." said the new emperor.
On the field, a new batch has begun.
Coincidentally, this time it was Mei Xue's turn to perform.
There was a murmur from the audience.
"Why is there another child, and a girl at that?"
"A little girl is trying to learn how to fight from other people with special abilities. She's not afraid of getting hurt and not being able to get married in the future."
"Could it be that she is also a special-ability user like Yun Xianhou's brother?"
The people expressed some doubts, but after all, they had the experience of Lu Chen and were afraid of being slapped in the face again, so after saying a few words, they decided to wait and see.
Mei Xue's enemy is a first-level earth-type mutant. Knowing that his strength is average, he dare not take it lightly. He is even afraid of following the same fate as the previous group of people. He runs left and right at the beginning of the competition for fear of being "ambushed" by Mei Xue. At the same time, he does not forget to condense the earth to attack Mei Xue.
As long as the other party admits defeat, he won't have to worry about being ambushed.
But after Lu Xuan's practical training class, Mei Xue became extremely agile and easily avoided the opponent's attacks, which were not very intensive to begin with, and kept her eyes fixed on him.
The people watched for a while, impressed by Mei Xue's agility but also wondering, "Why hasn't she made a move yet? How can she win if she's just hiding?"
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "Have you noticed that there seems to be fog around that person?"
"Where? Let me see."
The others squinted their eyes and found that the man running around was indeed surrounded by a layer of gray fog. No matter where he ran, the fog followed him like a shadow.
"It really is! This fog looks like it's alive."
Before everyone could react to what was happening, they saw the young psychic who was very energetic a second ago suddenly stop, cover his throat and groan in pain. His originally rosy face quickly began to turn purple, and he fell to the ground, unable to move.
The people were shocked and asked, "What's going on?"
"Why did you fall down again for no apparent reason?"
Some people who felt that this scene was familiar subconsciously glanced in Mei Xue's direction and found that there was indeed no surprise on her face.
Could it be she who did it?
Is it really a special department?
The referee was informed of the abilities of all the psychics in advance. He guessed something and quickly went over to check. He soon announced that Mei Xue won the competition.
Then he took out the antidote he had prepared in advance and poured it into the contestant's mouth. The people in the viewing area stretched their necks to look over and saw that the man's purple face gradually returned to normal.
Someone suddenly had an idea and said, "He looks like he's been poisoned. Could it be that the girl's ability is related to the poison?"
"Hiss! A poisonous ability? That sounds scary."
Many people subconsciously showed fear and vigilance on their faces.
They didn't even see Mei Xue approach her opponent, and they didn't know what kind of poison she had. It was too hard to guard against.
"Sure enough, none of the kids who can take the written test are easy to deal with." Someone in the crowd sighed.
The people around nodded.
When Mei Xue returned to the Houzhan area, the other psychics who had passed the first round looked at her with caution, secretly wondering in their hearts whether they would be tricked if they faced this little girl and how to guard against her.
On the high platform, the new emperor and his ministers were more sensitive to special abilities such as poison-related abilities than ordinary people. But then they thought, there were more than one kind of poisonous plants among the mutant plants that Lu Xuan had put up for auction before. As Mei Xue was from Yunlu Village, she had no vested interests with them, so there was no need to be on guard against anything.
However, when someone heard Lu Xuan say that Mei Xue had only a younger brother with the same special family background and no other relatives, their eyes flashed and they understood what he was thinking.
At eleven years old, she is a little young, but she can be engaged in two years.
An hour later, the first round of competition was over.
The seeded players from each town passed smoothly without exception.
The second round of written examination will begin soon.
This time, because most of the first-level psychics were eliminated, the remaining ones had more combat experience, and the battle was obviously more exciting.
When it was Lu Chen and Mei Xue's turn, even more people paid attention.
Not only because of their age, but also to confirm whether the first round was a coincidence.
In order to avoid being killed instantly, Lu Chen's next opponent chose to take the initiative, but he didn't expect that this time Lu Chen had exerted supernatural powers on himself, and the gravity was reset to zero and he flew up directly, then turned upside down in the air, doubling the gravity on his opponent.
The opponent, who was so frightened by Lu Chen's rise into the air that he forgot to react, was unfortunately hit and was pressed to the ground again.
Although he was lucky enough not to faint on the spot, the pressure of four or five hundred kilograms made him unable to move at all. Having completely lost his ability to fight, he could only be slaughtered.
Lu Chen won easily again.
The same thing happened in the match against Mei Xue. The opponent had no idea when Mei Xue's poisonous fog covered him. By the time he realized something was wrong, he had already been poisoned.
The two children proved to the world with facts that they were shortlisted based on their own strength!
At this point, no one in the audience doubted the abilities of the two anymore, and instead, they all became their devoted fans.
At noon, the second round of competition came to an end.
After a half-hour break for everyone to fill their stomachs, the second half continued.
At this point, there are only 25 players left.
When the superpowers of Yunlu Village were being selected from 50 to 25, Wei Xiang, Wu Cheng and two others were unlucky enough to run into fellow villagers or other seeded players and were eliminated early. Currently, there are only six people left: Lei Yan, Zhang Chengming, Xiong Mao, Li Tuo, Lu Chen and Mei Xue.
In other towns, the seeded players all advanced without encountering strong opponents in advance.
In the first two rounds, the audience had a general understanding of the psychics' fighting styles and the types of superpowers they possessed. Each of them had their own supporters, and every time their favorite contestant came on stage, there would be enthusiastic cheers.
Among them, the popular contestants include Lei Yan, Zhou Qing, Xie Heng, Ye Feiluan, Chu Ming and so on.
Xie Heng has many supporters from the noble families in the capital, and Chu Ming has many soldiers to support him, so the momentum is very huge.
But after all, the two of them only have second-level superpowers, and they are still not as good as third-level superpowers such as Lei Yan, Zhou Qing, and Zhang Chengming.
Whenever it was their turn to perform, there would always be many women in the audience shouting excitedly, which made Ye Ping, Lu Qing and others feel a little uncomfortable.
Su Ying touched her bulging belly with a calm expression.
Xiong Mao attracted the admiring gazes of some female relatives with his sturdy physique, but she was not worried about what the other party might think, nor did she feel jealous.
Those women are not as good as her, so what is there to be jealous of?
The fact that they liked Xiong Mao showed that they had good taste. No matter how much they called out, Xiong Mao belonged to her from head to toe, even the hair on his legs. They couldn't even touch him, huh.
As one exciting battle after another began, the people were greatly enlightened.
Among them, Zhou Qing, Lei Yan, and several wood-type ability users who obtained contracted plants, such as Miao An, are particularly eye-catching.
The confusing power of the third-level magic mushrooms and the countless thorns of the third-level cactus that seem to cover the sky and leave nowhere to escape are both eye-opening. Ordinary second-level psychedelics are simply unable to resist them.
The lightning power is the strongest among all the attack-type abilities and is equally powerful. The purple lightning makes people feel awe.
If I have to say what’s a pity, it’s probably that Zhou Qing still can’t acquire the ability to fly.
When they thought of this, everyone on the platform couldn't help but glance at Lu Xuan, wanting to see what his wings looked like.
The twelve competitions were all over in the blink of an eye.
All six people from Yunlu Village advanced, in addition to Zhou Qing, Ye Feiluan, Xie Heng, Chu Ming, Miao An, Du Qingyu and Chen Bing who was lucky enough to get a bye.
At this stage, fighting among the people of Yunlu Village was inevitable.
Zhang Chengming faced Mei Xue. The former's special ability could blow away Mei Xue's poisonous fog. In addition, there was a level difference of one level, so Zhang Chengming won without much effort.
Afterwards, Lei Yan faced Lu Chen. In addition to the attack power, the thunder system also has a significant bonus to speed. It is not too difficult to avoid Lu Chen's doubled gravity. If Lu Chen flies up, a thunder can knock him down again.
Lu Chen, who had been invincible in the first two games, was finally defeated by his brother-in-law.
Even if others did not fight against people from the same village, their opponents were mostly familiar ones.
After six rounds, the top six places were quickly decided: Lei Yan, Zhou Qing, Zhang Chengming, Xiong Mao, Li Tuo, and Chu Ming.
The six losers plus one bye will continue to compete to determine the subsequent rankings.
By now, anyone with a little bit of insight here could already tell who was most likely to win first place.
Lei Yan and Zhou Qing.
As expected, after several battles, the two of them finally competed for first and second place.
Both of them are thunder-type. Zhou Qing also has the charge of a wild boar and the agility and sharp claws of a leopard. It seems that Lei Yan is at a slight disadvantage.
Most of the previous battles ended quickly, but when it came to their final battle, the two of them fought for half an hour, and the winner was decided only when their superpowers were exhausted.
Although Zhou Qing obtained the ability of a third-level mutant leopard, he was still a second-level mutant after all, and his endurance was worse than Lei Yan's. The latter also had Lu Xuan's special help, and finally won the final victory without any danger.
When the referee announced the result, everyone in Yunlu Village was excited.
