Chapter 995: Chapter 995

"I... I don’t think I can do it either."

Zhao Tianba sighed helplessly.

"Why are we forfeiting?"

Fu Renjie immediately shouted discontentedly, "Even if we can’t be first, we should still rank. Don’t forget both first and last place need to score sixty points. Are you going to forfeit the other matches too?"

Qian Bujun suddenly understood and awkwardly said, "That means I really can’t forfeit, there’s still hope for victory."

Zhao Tianba shared the same thought.

Wan Yong frowned and cursed, then stopped speaking.

"We don’t really care, but Fu Renjie has a point. We need points for the upcoming matches, so we should give it a try."

Long Ao laughed and looked menacingly at Fu Renjie and the others, "At least, let’s rank among the eight of us."

"Hahaha, I agree with that. We’re considered some of the best of the younger generation in Imperial City. Even if it’s not for the victory, we should at least figure out who’s stronger."

Lin Canghai chimed in.

The Dark Group had already decided to fully support Tang Ming in winning the championship, so they weren’t too concerned about their own rankings. But thinking about it as a ranking competition for Imperial City’s young elites, they had to stick it out without affecting Tang Ming’s results.

"Alright, now please welcome competitor Wan Yong."

Qin Fang ignored the conflicts between the contestants and professionally took charge of her hosting duties.

"I’ll be first in this round again, can you?"

Wan Yong looked at Tang Ming and asked without waiting for a reply, then strode into the Hidden Weapons Room.

"Damn, such an arrogant guy. Is he really that confident?"

Tang Ming felt frustrated.

Although he had already come up with a way to deal with it, facing someone as arrogant as Wan Yong was still very unpleasant. Unfortunately, once Wan Yong entered the room, the doors closed, leaving him no chance to respond.

When the Hidden Weapons Room started its assault, Wan Yong easily survived the first minute, perfectly evading all hidden weapon attacks.

After a minute, Wan Yong began to catch the hidden weapons using various techniques and countered, knocking down those that attacked him.

Seeing Wan Yong counter with the hidden weapons in the Cultivation Room, Tang Ming praised.

"It won’t work; the last wave of hidden weapons is the key."

Wu Xiaoyu shook his head and said gravely, "The last wave involves 108 types of hidden weapons simultaneously. It’s impossible to dodge. I got hit more than ten times in the last wave, which was about the total from previous hits combined."

Upon hearing this, everyone gathered at the window, watching Wan Yong’s unharmed performance inside.

At two minutes and fifty seconds, Wu Xiaoyu jumped up from his chair, staring intently at Wan Yong in the Hidden Weapons Room.

Tang Ming’s expression grew serious. He had seen Wu Xiaoyu handle the last wave but didn’t have absolute confidence in escaping unscathed himself. Now it’s up to Wan Yong to handle it.

Faced with numerous hidden weapons coming from all directions, Wan Yong looked very solemn.

As everyone speculated about his movements, Wan Yong suddenly took a deep breath and opened his mouth wide towards the hidden weapons flying from the left.

Next moment, the hidden weapons from the left suddenly dropped from mid-air.

With one direction’s hidden weapons neutralized, Wan Yong immediately moved his body away from the circle of hidden weapons, skillfully dodging scattered attacks and successfully avoiding the last wave.

"Is this even possible?"

Everyone was dumbfounded, even Tang Ming was left staring in disbelief.

"Did he just roar them into submission?"

Lin Canghai looked at Tang Ming, bewildered.

"The Hidden Weapons Room is soundproof, so I’m not sure what he did."

Tang Ming shook his head, wondering if that guy really mastered the Lion Roar Skill.

Long Ao cursed, unable to understand when Wan Yong of the Wan Family became so powerful. There was no news of such a figure from the Wan Family before.

Under the shocked gaze of everyone, the lights in the room went out, but Wan Yong emerged without a single red dot on him, indicating he spent three minutes in the Hidden Weapons Room completely unharmed.

Retreating unscathed amidst hundreds of attacks.

"Group Leader Tang, are you confident?"

Long Ao looked at Tang Ming worriedly.

"I only have sixty percent confidence."

Tang Ming shook his head. He originally thought that with such a density of attacks, no one could escape unscathed, so just by minimizing the number of times he was hit would secure a good score.

Unexpectedly, Wan Yong managed to escape unscathed, meaning unless he also does the same, his score against Wan Yong would be far apart in this round.

"What’s the point of competing then?"

Fu Renjie realized and sighed in frustration, then looked at Tang Ming, "Hey Tang, aren’t you supposed to be amazing? Show me if you can do what Wan Yong did."

"What does that have to do with you?"

Tang Ming glanced at Fu Renjie.

"I just can’t stand you being so arrogant, is that not allowed?"

Fu Renjie was already used to being knocked down by Tang Ming and didn’t care about being mocked; he only wanted to see Tang Ming embarrassed.

The door opened, and Wan Yong, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, walked out of the Hidden Weapons Room, standing tall, looking dismissively at everyone.

"For the act, I give him full marks."

Tang Ming touched his nose. Although Wan Yong was very arrogant, the guy truly had skills.

"Who’s competing next?"

Not long after, Qin Fang spoke gently.

No one responded for a while. After Wan Yong’s impressive performance, no one wanted to embarrass themselves. Otherwise, the scores before and after would be drastically different, which would be humiliating.

Tang Ming sighed. The inevitable confrontation would come sooner or later, and this time he also wanted to challenge himself.

"Alright, please welcome contestant Tang Xin."

Qin Fang didn’t waste words, directly opening the door for Tang Ming to enter.

"Group Leader Tang, be careful."

Long Ao and the other three looked solemnly at Tang Ming, advising him.

"What’s there to worry about? They’re just props. Even if you’re hit, you won’t get hurt."

Tang Ming rolled his eyes and strode into the Hidden Weapons Room.

After entering the room, Tang Ming realized more profoundly the difficulties Wu Xiaoyu and Wan Yong faced, as he estimated there were thousands of mechanism firing ports on the surrounding walls.

The window, for instance, seemed to use projection techniques through monitors to transmit the scene outside, as all the walls of the Hidden Weapons Room were mechanisms, with no actual windows.

Tang Ming took a deep breath, signaling Qin Fang to start the mechanisms.

As the door closed, a series of hidden weapons flew from the walls towards Tang Ming!
