Chapter 1030: Chapter 1030
If the trend continues , the final showdown between Tang Ming and Wan Yong could very well decide the first place winner of the grand tournament.
"Since everyone has rested, I will now conduct the draw for the fourth round of matches."
Qin Fang glanced at the well-prepared contestants, feeling a bit helpless inside.
Initially, the organizers were worried that the contestants playing in turns would take a long time, which is why they set up four stages, allowing four matches to proceed simultaneously.
Unexpectedly, now each match ends within minutes, while the rest time far exceeds the match time.
With this situation of going on stage for a moment, then resting for an hour, it’s likely many spectators have already fallen asleep, even Qin Fang feels today’s matches are too dull.
Under Qin Fang’s operation, the fourth-round matchups are arranged as follows:
Tang Ming versus Long Ao;
Wu Xiaoyu versus Zhao Tianba;
Lin Canghai versus Qian Bujun;
Wan Yong versus Fu Renjie;
When this result came out, everyone’s eyes simultaneously turned to Lin Canghai and Qian Bujun!
Finally, the clash of titans, these two arch-enemies finally meet, it can be imagined that Lin Canghai and Qian Bujun will be the protagonists of this round.
"Hahaha, very good, very good." Upon seeing the result, Qian Bujun laughed loudly to the sky.
Then he gritted his teeth and glared at Lin Canghai and Tang Ming: "Last round, I lost inexplicably, I didn’t expect to face you so soon, just as well, I’ll vent all my anger on you."
"Brother Lin?" Long Ao and Wu Xiaoyu looked at Lin Canghai with concern.
"At worst, it’s just a death, and I might not even lose."
Lin Canghai squinted his eyes, fearlessly meeting Qian Bujun’s gaze.
"Host." At this moment, Tang Ming suddenly raised his hand.
Seeing Tang Ming speak up at this time, Long Ao and Wu Xiaoyu instinctively thought Tang Ming had come up with a way to help Lin Canghai through the crisis.
"What is it, contestant Tang Xin?" Qin Fang looked at Tang Ming with confusion.
"I propose that if someone wants to forfeit, there’s no need to step on stage, let those who want to fight step up."
Tang Ming grinned, looking expectantly at Lin Canghai and Qian Bujun: "These two have a grudge, it will definitely be a spectacular match, let’s not waste time and energy, those who want to concede, do it directly."
"That sounds feasible." Qin Fang nodded.
Every time we let all these people go on stage, some stages end quickly, the back and forth is indeed quite troublesome.
"Following contestant Tang Xin’s suggestion, those who don’t want to compete can forfeit directly from offstage, who wants to forfeit?"
Qin Fang looked uncertainly at all the contestants.
Long Ao, Wu Xiaoyu, and Fu Renjie raised their hands one after another, ending three matches directly, leaving only Lin Canghai and Qian Bujun.
"Hmph, I have no intention of forfeiting, if you want to be a coward, now’s your chance to forfeit."
Qian Bujun snorted coldly, looking at Lin Canghai with a strange smile.
"Hah, I’m not someone who clings to life and fears death, I’d rather die than yield."
Lin Canghai curled his lip, walking boldly towards the stage.
"Good, very good, as long as you don’t concede, I assure you I will... beat you to death."
Seeing that Lin Canghai really had the guts to step on stage, Qian Bujun laughed hideously.
"Less talk, show me what you got on stage."
After Lin Canghai got on stage, he raised his fist and said: "Today, I must punch your nose bloody."
"Then I’ll wait and see what you’ve got." Qian Bujun sneered coldly, stomping his foot fiercely and leaping onto the stage, his agile movements not betraying his truth as a hefty man.
"If both contestants are ready, please start the match now." Qin Fang looked around, shook the bell, and announced the start of the match.
"Lin Canghai, you still have a chance to concede, otherwise, when I make my move, you won’t survive."
After the match started, Qian Bujun looked at Lin Canghai with contempt.
"Heh, you’d better not go crazy like you did in the last match, otherwise, it’d be too boring for me."
Lin Canghai chuckled coldly, frantically channeling his energy to summon his Gang Qi, ready for battle.
"Six-star Martial Master, trash." Qian Bujun sneered disdainfully, slowly raising his fist, and the next moment, an overwhelming aura erupted from his body, breaking through the level of a Six-star Martial Master.
"Seven Star Peak?" Feeling Qian Bujun’s aura, the people offstage exclaimed.
Even Tang Ming was quite surprised, although he anticipated Qian Bujun might be a Seven-star Martial Master, he never expected it to be Seven Star Peak.
"It’s over, it’s over, it’s all over now." Long Ao shook his head repeatedly, rubbing his hands and shouting:
"I never thought this fatty would be Seven Star Peak, with such cultivation, even I have no confidence in defeating him, Lin Canghai facing him, it’s simply courting death."
"What do we do now? Should we stop the match?" Wu Xiaoyu suggested, pale-faced.
"The match has already started, unless a contestant is defeated or concedes, no one can stop the match."
Long Ao shook his head repeatedly, gritting his teeth, saying: "Looks like we can only break the rules at the critical moment and save Lin Canghai."
"He’s Seven Star Peak, you think you can save someone from his hands?" Tang Ming rolled his eyes at Long Ao speechlessly.
"Uh..." Long Ao was momentarily speechless, weakly asking Tang Ming: "Group Leader Tang, do you have the ability to save someone?"
"I do, but once I intervene against the rules, I’ll surely be disqualified, and then the Dark Group will inevitably lose this year’s tournament."
Tang Ming shrugged helplessly.
"Even if we lose the match, we can’t just watch someone die, can we?" Wu Xiaoyu shouted anxiously.
"You mean you’d rather give up the tournament victory to save someone?" Tang Ming squinted, looking at Wu Xiaoyu peculiarly.
"Of course." Long Ao hesitated, clenched his teeth and said: "The tournament is held every three years, but Lin Canghai’s life is only one, we of the Dark Group can’t just watch a comrade die in vain."
"Agreed, although I have conflicts with Lin Canghai, we are colleagues after all, safety is above all else."
Wu Xiaoyu also expressed his stance seriously.
"Interesting, truly interesting."
Tang Ming laughed, didn’t expect the members of the Ming Group valued their companions so much, just this one point was far better than the Ming Group.
"So are you agreeing to save him later?" Long Ao looked at Tang Ming uncertainly.
"Heh, watch the match, there will be unexpected surprises."
Tang Ming laughed, didn’t respond, but turned his head to look at the stage.
Upon hearing this, Long Ao and Wu Xiaoyu exchanged glances, unsure what Tang Ming was planning.
