Chapter 1028: Chapter 1028
"Group Leader Tang, you really must be careful."
Long Ao solemnly reminded before taking the stage.
"Not only do you have to guard against Qian Bujun’s tricks, but also be careful of him exhausting your stamina."
Wu Xiaoyu concernedly reminded as well.
"Tang Xin, you should beat him up fiercely. It’s best if you can cripple him, then when I face him, it will be much easier."
Lin Canghai proposed viciously.
"Get lost! If I actually cripple him, then I’ll be directly eliminated."
Tang Ming glared fiercely at Lin Canghai and then strode towards the stage.
After Qin Fang announced the start of the competition, Lin Canghai and Zhao Tianba immediately surrendered, allowing Long Ao and Wan Yong to easily secure victory.
Only Tang Ming versus Qian Bujun, and Wu Xiaoyu versus Fu Renjie remained.
"Cough cough cough, Wu Xiaoyu, why haven’t you surrendered?"
Seeing Wu Xiaoyu staring straight at him, Fu Renjie coughed while coldly questioning.
Although his injuries were treated before, they were too severe and hadn’t fully healed. If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have hurt himself so badly.
Not only did he fail to trap Tang Ming, but also ended up trapping himself.
"Haha, do you think in your current state you’re worthy of me surrendering?"
Wu Xiaoyu looked at Fu Renjie with disdain and walked towards him, "Blasting you off the stage is simply too easy."
"You... you better not come over, or I’ll sue you."
Seeing Wu Xiaoyu approaching to fight, Fu Renjie immediately threatened coldly.
If he were in peak condition, he might have the courage to face Wu Xiaoyu, but now, heavily injured, fighting Wu Xiaoyu would only lead to getting crushed.
"If you don’t want to die, you’d better get off quickly."
Wu Xiaoyu squinted and, while gathering Gang Qi, mocked Fu Renjie, "I’m not Group Leader Tang Xin; I don’t need a perfect victory record, nor am I afraid of elimination. If you dare fight me, I don’t mind paying the price of elimination to cripple the Fu family’s young master."
"You actually want to cripple me?"
Fu Renjie widened his eyes, shocked that Wu Xiaoyu was so ruthless, truly embodying the saying, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."
"Enough nonsense, are you surrendering or not?"
Wu Xiaoyu impatiently urged, slightly bending his body, making a stance to attack.
"I surrender, I surrender."
Fu Renjie quickly raised his hand in surrender.
Given his current severely injured state, there’s no way he could fight Wu Xiaoyu. If he truly got crippled, it would be disastrous.
Wu Xiaoyu grinned proudly, glancing at Long Ao and the others.
Long Ao and Lin Canghai exchanged glances and gave Wu Xiaoyu a thumbs-up in admiration.
Their plan was to avoid conflict with other Ming Group contestants, preserving stamina for the battle against Wan Yong, thus depleting Wan Yong’s strength. But Fu Renjie lacked combat power now, and fighting him wouldn’t consume much stamina, so they naturally didn’t need to forfeit.
Wu Xiaoyu and Fu Renjie’s battle ended, with Fu Renjie walking off the stage with a defeated look, furious.
Wu Xiaoyu faced other opponents who all chose to forfeit, yet wanted to fight him; it was bullying and frustrating.
"Oh, all the other battles are done; should we also finish quickly?"
Tang Ming looked at Qian Bujun with interest.
"Hmph, surrendering without fighting? My Ming Group is easily deceived."
Qian Bujun moved his arms and coldly looked at Tang Ming:
"Even though your previous results were good, that doesn’t mean your combat power is strong. Today, I want to experience Group Leader Tang Xin’s moves."
"Interesting, are you not planning a life-or-death duel with Lin Canghai then?"
Tang Ming smirked disdainfully, "You think I can’t see you’re hiding your power? Perhaps you plan to surprise me, but I’ll tell you, if you fight me, I’ll ensure you burn a lot of stamina. By the time you face Lin Canghai, you won’t be certain of victory."
Qian Bujun’s face changed slightly, realizing his hidden cultivation was exposed: "No matter; family interests come first. Even if Lin Canghai discovers my hidden power and won’t duel, that’s his cowardice, and I’m not afraid."
"You seem truly intent on competing with me."
Tang Ming frowned, surprised Qian Bujun considered family interests even now, likely aiming to drain his stamina or eliminate him.
"That’s right, since you don’t dare to critically injure me, there’s nothing for me to fear."
As soon as Qian Bujun finished, he began cultivating, a pale yellow Gang Qi emerging.
His aura surged, but stopped at a Six-star peak, continuing to conceal his true power.
"What a pity, even if you want to fight me, I have no interest in fighting you."
Tang Ming shook his head in regret, squinting as he spoke, "This competition’s only target is Wan Yong. You’re not qualified to be my opponent."
"Arrogant fellow, I may not kill you, but I’ll certainly peel off a layer of your skin."
Qian Bujun yelled, stomping his foot and charging towards Tang Ming like a cannonball.
As Qian Bujun charged, Tang Ming swiftly raised his hand, pointing at Qian Bujun.
With a "plop," Qian Bujun running suddenly seemed to trip, falling face-first onto the ground!
His Gang Qi dissipated, leaving a red mark on the stage.
Witnessing this, everyone was stunned.
Tang Ming merely pointed at Qian Bujun, who then fell; was this sorcery?
Qian Bujun struggled to raise his head, incredulous as he looked at Tang Ming, feeling weak and disconnected from his body.
"I told you, you’re unworthy as my opponent."
Tang Ming chuckled shaking his head, walking to Qian Bujun, tugging his collar to drag him off the stage.
"What did you do to me?"
Qian Bujun desperately cultivated to regain movement, while staring in shock at Tang Ming, yelling.
Tang Ming grinned, lamenting, "Fatty, you should’ve surrendered willingly, instead making me drag you off the stage; you’re so heavy."
"Scoundrel, you must’ve used some despicable trick, shameless pawn. Tell me how you did it if you dare."
Qian Bujun shouted in rage and shame.
"Is it you who’s dumb, or me?"
Tang Ming rolled his eyes exasperatedly, "How could I reveal my attack methods to you?"
