Chapter 145: Excellent Choice - Severe Injury
It wasn't that Lian Yun looked down on Philip; he simply understood the intentions of the alliance.
Although being put on the field this round seemed to imply a sense of abandonment, given the alliance's style of operation, they would undoubtedly hold back something.
Thus, they would choose an opponent who wasn't too strong.
From Philip's current performance, it wasn't a matter of strength; his character was rather straightforward and lacked cunning.
Anyone with a bit of shrewdness would likely consider Grandma's wrath and would not dare to treat Lian Yun as a fool.
However, Philip did just that—three times, in fact—indicating that he lacked such cunning.
Now, Philip pondered for a moment before summoning a massive Mammoth Spirit, proudly declaring, "Are you sure you can compare to my War Elephant?"
Lian Yun smiled slightly and waved his hand to summon Sword Mountain.
"This... is this Sword Mountain?"
The one who reacted the most upon Sword Mountain's appearance was Sun Chendong. His expression was a mix of certainty and disbelief, tinged with a hint of regret.
Sun Chendong had a particular fondness for Ghost Slaves that were tall and imposing.
In simple terms, it was about size and presence.
Given Sword Mountain's stature, he had certainly taken note of it. However, Sword Mountain's dull expression was not to his liking, so when he searched for targets in Ghost Street, he hadn't considered Sword Mountain as one.
Yet now, merely three months later, what did he see?
Although its eyes still bore that foolish look, the overwhelming aura emanating from Sword Mountain nearly overwhelmed Sun Chendong.
The Ghost Slave with such momentum was undoubtedly Sun Chendong's favorite, so how could he not feel regret?
However, Lian Yun was also a bit surprised.
That was because Sword Mountain's adaptability to Supreme Power and its absorption capability were higher than those of other Ghost Slaves, even surpassing that of the Twelve Fierce Warriors by a significant margin.
In the same realm, Sword Mountain absorbed more than three times the Supreme Power compared to Big Head and other Ghost Slaves.
When Sword Mountain returned to its peak state in the Lower King Realm of Rank C, it possessed the power of a peak Ghost King. After absorbing Supreme Power, it advanced to the B-Grade King Realm, and its strength was nearly on par with that of a Monarch.
Moreover, due to its strong adaptability to Supreme Power, Sword Mountain naturally exuded an overwhelming aura of dominance.
Now, just this aura alone was enough to make Philip's ten-meter tall War Elephant take a step back.
"This doesn't count; I just asked you. I didn't agree to your conditions. I choose to take your strike," Philip said as he immediately withdrew his War Elephant, acting somewhat shamelessly.
To this, Lian Yun nodded in acknowledgment and said, "Alright! Just get ready."
Philip nodded, blinked his eyes, then took two steps forward. He half-squatted with his arms crossed over his chest and looked at Lian Yun with a hint of nervousness before saying, "Okay!"
Lian Yun waved his hand to initiate Yujian Wutai.
However, instead of pointing the sword tip at Philip, he aimed the hilt towards Philip's arms.
As soon as they made contact, a sound of bones cracking echoed from Philip's arms.
At this point, even the usually stoic North Qilin couldn't help but comment, "What an idiot."
Could he not see Lian Yun's speed in Sword Control? Well, precisely because it was invisible meant that Lian Yun's Sword Control was incredibly fast, which naturally indicated an overwhelming power.
North Qilin was somewhat astonished by the aura of Sword Mountain, but in his perception, the power of Philip's War Elephant should not differ much from that of Sword Mountain.
Letting the two Ghost Slaves grapple, Philip still had a chance of victory, but against Lian Yijian, it was destined to be a losing battle.
And indeed, ever since Philip felt his sword come into contact with Lian Yun's long sword, the strength he had always prided himself on was nothing compared to this blade.
Philip could only widen his eyes in disbelief as he watched Lian Yun drift further away, and then he inevitably fell onto the Arena.
Philip was quite unhappy and unwilling to accept defeat, yet he graciously acknowledged it, nodding and saying, "I lost."
Lian Yun felt a bit apologetic because he didn’t want the alliance to see his full strength. Although their encounter was brief, he found Philip to be someone worth befriending. He smiled slightly and said, "Next time we have the opportunity, let’s duel fairly. I apologize for today."
"You won, so just accept it. There's no need for apologies. Let’s settle it next time," Philip replied nonchalantly, though the pain from his broken arm showed on his face as he waved goodbye.
The audience fell into a hushed silence; this was not the match they had hoped to see.
However, knowing that Lian Yun would still be competing meant there was still a chance to witness his full strength.
At that moment, the spectators showed great tolerance towards Lian Yun.
Once again, the entire audience chanted Lian Yun's title: "Cloud Emperor~~ Cloud Emperor~~ Cloud Emperor~~~"
Winning in such a manner and receiving such admiration made Lian Yun feel somewhat embarrassed. After bowing to the surrounding audience, he returned to the Lin Family's stand and then playfully ran behind Grandma to give her a shoulder massage.
After Lian Yun left, the other four contestants took the stage to determine the two victors: Heroic King Xia Wanhou and God of Light Ophiric.
"Now announcing the lineup for the fifth round of matches: In the first match, Drowning Fish Talented Woman Xiao Ruoyu will face Earth Goddess Annas; Tasia. Shy Flower Talented Woman Yin Mengxue will battle Ocean Goddess Sophia Natasha."
"Wow, four great beauties, four great beauties~~"
The audience was suddenly filled with passion, almost as if they had given up on Lian Yun.
For Lian Yun, it seemed like a deliberate move by the alliance.
If he did not make an appearance, the last match of the fourth round would inevitably feel a bit lackluster. Moreover, the first match of the fifth round featuring the four great beauties was meant to elevate the audience's emotions to a climax.
However, Lian Yun was not thinking about that at the moment; instead, he was...
Suddenly, Lian Yun lost interest in attending to Grandma and scanned the area, primarily looking for which contestant from Alliance Academy was present.
When he first arrived, it was due to Lin Nan's battle. Afterward, something infuriating happened, and perhaps it was because a certain girl was not present that he only now thought of the girl who had treated him so well.
He swept his gaze around but surprisingly found no trace of her.
At that moment, Lin Nan quietly approached and said, "Brother, she was seriously injured before you returned and hasn't come back yet."
"Seriously injured?" A chilling intensity naturally flickered in Lian Yun's eyes.
"She and Closing the Moon are both unwilling to concede. They fought until both were gravely wounded. In the end, she fell, which counts as her victory. However, it seems difficult for her to continue participating today."
