The next day, at the Martial Arts Selection Tournament square.
With the announcement of the top four from yesterday, people gathered here today began to speculate about who would take the final first place.
"I guess it will be Ye Tian!"
"Well, Ye Tian has a certain possibility, but to be fair, the most likely candidate is still Xu Ao."
"Exactly. Although Ye Tian and Li Han are also strong, they probably fall short compared to Xu Ao."
"I think it will be Deng Suyang..."
"Cut it out!" After Deng Suyang's name was mentioned, everyone collectively booed; it was clear that this was just a friendly vote.
Although this Martial Arts Selection Tournament did not feature the same level of geniuses as last time, it was much more exciting in comparison. Last time, Wang Weiyang dominated effortlessly, even winning easily against Cold Yang in the finals.
However, this year's outcome is full of suspense. Not only is there the highly anticipated Ye Tian, but also the unexpected dark horse Li Han. While Xu Ao does have an advantage in strength and a high chance of winning, who can guarantee that a dark horse won't surprise everyone and take first place? Who can ensure that a genius won't seize victory and create another shock?
But regardless, it seems that Deng Suyang has no chance at all...
"Deng Suyang." A delicate young man politely cupped his hands and introduced himself to Xu Ao.
"Mm." Xu Ao shot him a disdainful glance, appearing uninterested.
For Deng Suyang, the weakest among the top four, Xu Ao couldn't muster any interest. The opponent he most wanted to face was Ye Tian; even if it wasn't Ye Tian, he would be satisfied with defeating that dark horse Li Han. Beating either of them would allow him to shine.
What he never expected was that fate would play such tricks on him. After drawing his lot with great enthusiasm, he opened it to find that his opponent was Deng Suyang, a First-Dan Warrior.
At this moment, Xu Ao was wondering whether Deng Suyang had made it this far by luck. Among the eliminated contestants were numerous Second-Dan and even Three-Stage Warriors, so it was indeed puzzling how a mere First-Dan Warrior had reached this stage.
"You might as well admit defeat; I really can't muster any interest in you," Xu Ao said, feeling surprisingly good today and unexpectedly advising his opponent to surrender.
"No way! I've worked hard to get here today, and I won't give up easily!" Deng Suyang replied firmly. After a moment of thought, he added, "I hope Brother Xu will go easy on me..."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ao couldn't help but laugh. He loved being praised and cheerfully said, "No problem, Brother Su. You can rest assured that I won't go too hard on you."
"..." Deng Suyang seemed to be pondering something for a moment before finally speaking up: "Brother Xu, you made a mistake. My surname is Deng, and my full name is Suyang... You should call me Brother Deng or Brother Yang. Oh right, since you're older than me, just call me Little Deng." After saying this, he even chuckled as if they were getting to know each other.
"..." Now it was Xu Ao's turn to be speechless. He hadn't expected that his moment of good humor would lead him to encounter a chatterbox who rambled on with nonsense.
"My family lives in the south of the city. My father's name is..."
"Shut up!" Wang Weiyang could no longer tolerate it and interrupted Deng Suyang's words casually, saying, "I'll give you three moves; if you can't win, just roll away!"
Deng Suyang was startled by Xu Ao's sudden change in attitude and remembered that they were in a competition. He immediately assumed a fighting stance, ready to make his move.
Xu Ao glanced at him and scoffed dismissively.
Seeing this, Deng Suyang once again lowered his stance and complained, "Brother Xu is clearly looking down on me! I want you to fight me fairly!"
"I said let you go; just hurry up! The Peony Girl from Spring Breeze Tower is waiting to celebrate with me!" Xu Ao said impatiently.
"I won't!" Deng Suyang rolled his big eyes dramatically. With that appearance, if he stuffed two buns into his shirt, many would believe he was cross-dressing as a girl.
"Your grandmother!" Xu Ao was finally completely enraged, his figure darting in front of the other person in a breath, and before he could react, he unleashed a flurry of punches.
"Did you come from the wrong womb?! Huh? Tell me, did you come from the wrong womb?!" Xu Ao shouted loudly while hitting. At this moment, cheers erupted from the audience, clearly indicating that this person was more annoying than the freak Wang Weiyang.
The strength of the Five-Stage Warrior was like that of a child being taught a lesson, leaving Deng Suyang with no ability to fight back. Finally, after about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, Deng Suyang, who was curled up and trying to escape, cried out for mercy.
"Stop hitting, stop hitting, I admit defeat."
Xu Ao paused upon hearing this, still filled with anger as he said, "Weren't you quite bold? Why are you admitting defeat now?!"
"I'm afraid you'll ruin my face; how will I face people then..." Deng Suyang secretly glanced at Xu Ao and muttered softly.
"What?!"
Because they were quite far apart and Deng Suyang's voice was low, the crowd began to speculate about what Deng Suyang had just said that could astonish Xu Ao so much.
"I'll go to your grandmother!" Xu Ao kicked the latter off the Arena. He hadn't misheard; he was simply stunned by Deng Suyang's utterly ridiculous remark...
...
Since there were only two matches today, they were scheduled for the morning and afternoon respectively. As the match time approached, Ye Tian returned to the Arena right on time.
Looking at the Arena before him, scenes from this morning's match between Xu Ao and Deng Suyang flooded his mind, causing a slight smile to appear on Ye Tian's lips.
"You still have time to laugh?"
A voice interrupted Ye Tian's recollections. He turned his head to see Li Han had appeared on the other side of the Arena without him noticing.
"What's so funny?" Ye Tian looked Li Han up and down, thinking to himself, "It's finally your turn..."
"Nothing much, I just wanted to say, it's finally your turn!" Li Han's gaze was sharp as he fixed it on Ye Tian.
"Oh?" Li Han's response caught Ye Tian off guard; he didn't expect both of them to be so eager for their confrontation.
Ding ding ding ding ding...
"The Martial Arts Selection Tournament, semifinals, Ye Tian versus Li Han, begin!" Elder Ge's deep voice interrupted their conversation.
"No need to announce our names, right?" Ye Tian casually cupped his hands in greeting, his tone relaxed.
"Li Han!" Li Han declared his name emphatically. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly as he darkly stated, "This name will be your nightmare from now on!"
"Oh? That's unfortunate; I usually only have sweet dreams and never nightmares." If Ye Tian were facing Xu Ao at that moment, he would have definitely let slip a remark. However, since Li Han hadn't used any foul language, Ye Tian also refrained from being too aggressive with his words.
"Heh, is that so? Then I'll be the first to let you taste the flavor of nightmares!" With that, Li Han said no more. His body trembled as his energy surged forth like a hurricane, charging toward Ye Tian.
Seeing this, Ye Tian's eyes sparkled with intensity. As he moved, he unleashed a wave of energy that tore through the air, performing the Bagua Seal and Ling Kong techniques.
"Wind Shadow Nine Layers!" Li Han shouted fiercely as his hurricane-like figure struck out with the first palm.
Bang!
The first palm of the Wind Shadow Nine Layers hit Ye Tian's body but was instantly neutralized by the power of the Transformation Bagua Pattern.
"Heavenly Origin Wall!" Just as the Seal Technique was about to land on Li Han, he activated the Heavenly Origin Wall at a critical moment to block the attack.
As the round came to an end, the two opponents stepped back a few paces, equally matched.
"Yellow Level Six martial arts, Wind Shadow Nine Layers Palm?" Ye Tian looked at Li Han with slight surprise, thinking to himself, "I didn't expect Li Han to have a hidden card. He hasn't used it in the previous rounds."
Li Han chuckled and said, "This is specially prepared for you!"
The Wind Shadow Nine Layers Palm grows stronger with each strike; if all nine palms are unleashed, the power would definitely exceed Yellow Level Six!
"Take this!"
Li Han launched another palm strike, and Ye Tian showed no fear as he charged forward.
Bang!
The second palm was once again blocked by the Xuan Yuan Shield, and Ye Tian's Seal Technique also struck against the Heavenly Origin Wall.
However, this time they did not retreat again but chose to fight it out. Li Han's palms roared with power while Ye Tian's fingers struck fiercely, resulting in a fierce exchange where neither could gain the upper hand.
"This is truly exciting! Ye Tian has the Bagua Xuan Yuan Shield, Li Han has the Heavenly Origin Wall, Ye Tian has the Bagua Seal Palm, and Li Han has the Wind Shadow Nine Layers. Are these two destined to be rivals?" An elderly spectator's eyes sparkled with excitement.
"A dark horse against a genius; witnessing this is worth a lifetime!"
"Indeed, good things come to those who wait. Ye Tian is truly impressive!"
"In my opinion, Li Han has a greater chance of winning!"
"Ye Tian can win!"
"Li Han will win!"
As the battle between the two intensified, the spectators began to argue loudly in support of their chosen fighter.
In the Cold Family stands, Cold Boyuan wore an unusually serious expression, tightly clenching his fists as he worried for Ye Tian.
"Father, who do you think will win?" The question came not from Cold Frost, but from her sister Cold Moon.
"I don't know." Cold Boyuan shook his head. This was also the reason he didn't want Cold Frost to come. The two fighters were evenly matched today; regardless of who won or lost, it was likely that the other would not fare well. He feared that if Ye Tian were to lose...
"Cold Yang, the situation in the arena is ever-changing. If someone makes a mistake, it could lead to a disastrous outcome. Keep a close watch; if anything happens to Xiao Tian, intervene immediately. We cannot allow him to be incapacitated!" Cold Boyuan decisively issued this command.
"Yes, Uncle Bo Yuan!" Cold Yang responded and leaped down, ready to assist at the side of the Arena.
"Father, your instructions make me wonder if you feel that Xiao Tian is going to lose?" Cold Moon asked in surprise.
"There's an eighty to ninety percent chance! I've observed Li Han's moves, and considering his understanding of the Heavenly Origin Wall, I suspect he can unleash the tenth strike of the Wind Shadow Nine Layers!” After saying this, Cold Boyuan let out a heavy sigh, his gaze towards Ye Tian filled with deep concern.
