Chapter 146: Meeting Without Recognition
Lin Nan was worried that Lian Yun might misunderstand the situation. After all, although that battle had ended in a draw, it was indeed a match worthy of respect.
Upon hearing this, Lian Yun's mood did ease somewhat. There was no deliberate insult involved, and he personally valued the fairness of competition.
For instance, when Lin Nan had been careless during their first encounter, even after being severely injured by Ximen Bay, Lian Yun had refrained from intervening. As long as it wasn't fatal and not caused by an outsider, Lian Yun likely wouldn't interfere in the match.
"Yun'er, shall I arrange your engagement?" Grandma suddenly asked.
"What?" Lian Yun was taken aback.
"That child is quite good—strong and has put in a lot for you. I like her."
"But she doesn't remember me, and I hear she has someone she likes now. In that case, I think it's better not to disturb her!"
"Hmph! People can marry without having met before; what does it matter if she remembers or not? This matter is decided by me, and you cannot argue against it."
It seemed that Grandma genuinely liked Le Yan. Perhaps the main reason for her outing this time was just to catch a glimpse of Le Yan.
"I'll handle this myself!" Lian Yun said with a hint of guilt, knowing how much his grandmother cared for him.
There were some things Lian Yun could comply with Grandma about, but there were other matters that even the strong-willed Grandma could not force him on.
With the announcement of the competition lineup, Lian Yun realized he had been placed in the final round once again. However, he couldn't understand what the league was thinking by making him face Fallen Goose Talented Woman Le Yan.
However, at this moment, Lian Yun was not concerned about the alliance's objectives; at least this was an opportunity for a face-to-face encounter. Thus, Lian Yun began to cultivate behind Grandma.
On the Arena, the Battle of the Four Beauties was truly a feast for the eyes.
Drowning Fish Talented Woman, Xiao Ruoyu, though only sixteen or seventeen years old, possessed an enchanting beauty that was captivating and delicate. Her figure was curvaceous and full, complemented by a height of one hundred sixty-six centimeters that seemed to meet every man's aesthetic ideal.
With every smile and frown, every movement and stillness, she could draw countless heroes to bow before her.
Facing Earth Goddess, Annas, Tasia wore a chestplate that revealed her ample curves. Her abdominal muscles appeared strong and defined, while her long brown hair added a unique charm.
Though her slightly wide lips and height of over one hundred seventy centimeters did not conform to Eastern beauty standards, her prowess with a spear and wild aura made countless men like Zixin yearn for conquest or even to be dominated by her.
Shy Flower Talented Woman, Yin Mengxue, although not as voluptuous as Xiao Ruoyu, had a graceful figure. Most notably, her ethereal beauty and otherworldly aura gave her an air of purity that felt divine.
She exuded the essence of a celestial maiden descending to earth—sacred and unparalleled, beautiful from afar yet untouchable.
Ocean Goddess, Sophia Natasha, with her thick brows and large eyes exuding extraordinary charisma, wore a deep V sea-blue gown that showcased her explosive figure perfectly.
Beneath her eyes lay a few freckles; however, her clear and pure aura overshadowed those minor imperfections, giving off a striking sense of flawed beauty that made it hard for anyone to look away.
Many spectators had long ceased to care about the outcome of this battle; they simply hoped it would continue indefinitely. Numerous single viewers had taken out their cameras to document the event, planning to analyze and study it at home later.
Of course, many might also prepare some tissues.
However, since it was a competition, there would naturally be winners and losers. The defeat of Charming Fish and Xiao Ruoyu left countless men heartbroken and despondent, while the victory of Shameflower Yin Mengxue did not elicit much cheer.
This was because Yin Mengxue was pure and had little to entice desire, making it hard for them to continue watching Sophia Natasha's fiery figure sway and dance.
At this point, Lian Yun was not paying attention to the match at all, let alone the upcoming rounds. Even Lin Nan's battle against Lian Yun went unnoticed.
By the time the penultimate match arrived, Lian Yun had gathered enough energy. She stood up, tidied her hair, and straightened her clothes.
She looked as if she were preparing for a blind date.
Grandma, though not turning around, couldn't help but nod in amusement.
After one match concluded, Lin Nan lost to a man named Zhuang Wu. From the comments coming from the audience behind him, Lian Yun learned that he was a dark horse.
The fight was fair; Lin Nan fought with honor despite his loss.
However, when Lin Nan returned, he was naturally sullen and declared, "I could have won."
"Could have won? Then why did you lose?" Grandma's tone was somewhat stern.
Indeed, both fighters started by testing each other’s strengths. However, Zhuang Wu seized the opportunity and executed his moves with precision. Thus, even without either of them using their full strength, Zhuang Wu managed to defeat Lin Nan.
Both had hidden cards up their sleeves; in the end, it was hard to determine who would win or lose. But in a fair situation, losing meant losing. If one lacked the courage to admit this fact, their future growth would be severely limited.
Grandma's sternness was not a punishment for Lin Nan's loss, but rather a reflection of her disappointment that he had failed yet still refused to acknowledge it, feeling a bit of frustration at his stubbornness.
Lian Yun had initially wanted to educate Lin Nan, after all, he was now Lin Nan's sworn brother and not just a cousin. However, since Grandma had already scolded him, Lian Yun decided not to add to the criticism. Instead, he nodded and said, "Although I only caught a glimpse earlier, I can still confirm that Zhuang Wu has very rich practical combat experience."
"Perhaps your realm and strength are nearly the same as his, but when it comes to actual combat, you are truly no match for him. The main difference lies in experience and the ability to seize opportunities. If you gain more combat experience in the future, you might not fall short compared to Zhuang Wu."
"The last match of the fifth round will be Cloud Emperor Lian Yun versus Fallen Goose Talented Woman Le Yan, and False Emperor Xue Qiong versus Kamikaze King Xiao Yun."
The term "False Emperor" may sound somewhat inappropriate, but adding the title of "Emperor" gives it weight. It almost implies that he is destined to become an emperor in the future.
Lian Yun did not know much about either False Emperor or Kamikaze King; he was indifferent to them. The only person he truly cared about was Le Yan.
Feeling a bit anxious, Lian Yun arrived at the Arena first. He then saw a strong and handsome man supporting a girl with an oval face as they emerged from the crowd in the direction of Alliance Academy.
In comparison, the oval-faced girl had a decent figure, but her looks were slightly overshadowed by the other three beauties, leading many to feel that she did not live up to her reputation.
Her pair of mischievous yet bright eyes seemed dimmer than usual, likely due to her injuries not having fully healed, which made Lian Yun's heart ache.
