Chapter 95, Battle 1
The next day, June 11th.
Fang Ping and the other participants were allowed to go up to the second floor and sit with the grandmasters.
Lu Hao continued to the audience seats. Although he could go to the second floor, it wouldn't make much difference. Would he just listen to the grandmasters arguing?
The teams from Jingwu and Wuda Alliance are already warming up on the back of the first floor. Their first match is this morning.
Before the fight even started on the stage, the second floor was already buzzing with excitement.
Fang Ping, who was watching from the second floor, was shocked. He had originally thought that grandmasters were all taciturn and solemn, but the fight below hadn't even started yet, and the fight above was already raging.
"Jingwu vs. Wuda Alliance, hehe, this is going to be a good show. I wonder if Jingwu will let Han Xu play."
"If it gets breached in one go, resulting in one person killing five, then Old Wang and the others can stop complaining about unfairness."
It was Huang Jing who spoke first, addressing the grandmaster of the Martial Arts Alliance.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone from the Martial Arts Alliance retorted, "You should worry about yourselves. Magic Martial Arts University only has the title of second best."
They've been hogging the resources, but have they actually cultivated anything?
Last time, Wang Jinyang from Nanjiang Martial Arts University beat me through the first rank, and not a single martial artist came out to stop me!
Huang Jing smiled faintly and said, "Don't always treat special cases as the norm. You keep talking about Wang Jinyang. Don't you know what kind of situation that kid is?"
"Given your situation, wouldn't it be more convincing to send Lu Hao out to challenge all of you third-rank cultivators and break through your third-rank cultivation levels?"
"Hmph, Lu Hao's case is an exception and cannot represent everyone," said a grandmaster from the Martial Arts Alliance.
After all, only the grandmasters remained; the representatives from various other industries had already left.
As grandmasters, they were aware of Lu Hao's suspension and his strength. The latest news was that Lu Hao had killed two mid-level fifth-rank cultivators in the Demon City dungeon.
That was news from over a month ago. Nobody knows how powerful Lu Hao is now. If Lu Hao were really sent to fight their school's third-ranked student...
None of the companies present could hold out, not even Kyōbu.
"Hey, Lao Wu, now you're saying this is an isolated case, but why don't you say Wang Jinyang is an isolated case? Isn't that a double standard? I didn't expect you, Lao Wu, to be this kind of person too."
Huang Jing chuckled and said, "With Lu Hao around, if anyone dares to mention a powerful individual case in front of them again, he'll show them a truly powerful individual case."
Huang Jing glanced at Lu Hao in the audience. This kid is a lucky star. If it weren't for him, the situation regarding Wang Jinyang's case would have been very different.
After all, Wang Jinyang had indeed crushed many martial arts universities back then, especially the top-tier martial arts school, which he defeated. Now, if anyone dares to mention this matter in front of them, hmph...
Meanwhile, the Kyoto Grandmaster stared enviously at Lu Hao below the stage. Why didn't he invest more resources to win over Lu Hao back then? If it were Lu Hao back then, it would be the time for Kyoto to swagger around now.
Lu Hao, sitting in the audience, had no idea he had become the focus of discussion on the second floor. Huang Jing was practically going crazy with Lu Hao on the second floor.
If the other side dares to point out any flaws in Magic Martial Arts School, he'll suggest we send out our third-grade students for a competition.
The other martial arts masters were speechless as they watched Huang Jing, who was there with great interest.
……
Soon, the referee blew his whistle, interrupting everyone's conversation.
The martial arts competition has officially begun!
The order of appearance submitted by both sides was displayed on the big screen. Jingwu: Han Xu, Li Ran, Zhang Zhenguang…
Wuhan University Alliance: Sun Mingyu, Bai Yin... Chen Jiasheng.
Both sides fielded their captains in the first round, clearly indicating that both sides were aiming for a safer approach.
On the stage, Han Xu was the first to appear.
He wielded a long spear with remarkable skill on the stage.
Soon, Sun Mingyu also went on stage.
Sun Mingyu actually used a long-handled axe, a weapon that sacrifices agility for greater striking power.
……
On the arena.
Han Xu bowed meticulously and with utmost seriousness, saying:
"Han Xu, Kyoto Martial Arts University!"
"Wuhan University Alliance, Sun Mingyu!"
"start!"
Without a word, the referee shouted "Start the match!" after the two finished bowing.
The two moved almost simultaneously!
Sun Mingyu's arms instantly turned bright red, a sign of his concentrated burst of qi and blood, which then covered the axe in his hands.
Han Xu did not fight him with a gun, but instead leaped into the air.
With this leap, Han Xu jumped two or three meters high!
As Han Xu leaped into the air, launching an attack on Sun Mingyu, who appeared to be at a disadvantage...
But he quickly realized what was happening and, using his agility, forcibly changed the direction of the axe.
But he still hadn't anticipated that Han Xu, as the captain of Jingwu, would be so easy to deal with. Just as Sun Mingyu was about to unleash a horizontal slash,
Han Xu moved his feet like a ghost, and once again moved in front of him!
He thrust his spear at Sun Mingyu, the spear piercing directly into Sun Mingyu's waist. As the spear was pulled out, crimson blood gushed out.
Han Xu moved quickly, transforming from the attacked to the attacker in the blink of an eye.
Lu Hao could tell that this was a mastery of footwork, coupled with excellent marksmanship and the ability to stand firmly in mid-air. This Han Xu was indeed not weak; no wonder he could become the captain of the Jingwu team.
His strength is estimated to be similar to Fang Ping's, but Fang Ping has the help of the system to restore his qi and blood, so he is naturally no match for Fang Ping, who is a cheat.
Lu Hao glanced at Fang Yuan beside him. She was initially quite happy, so it seemed that Fang Ping hadn't told her about the harshness of today's exchange competition.
However, upon seeing Sun Mingyu's kidney pierced, his face turned pale instantly, and he dared not look at the stage anymore.
Just then, something changed on stage.
Just as Han Xu drew his gun, a hand suddenly appeared on the tip of the gun!
Although Sun Mingyu was not as fast as him, the sharp pain from the spear tip piercing his waist was enough for him to react.
Blood gushed from his hand instantly! But Sun Mingyu seemed unconcerned, firmly gripping the tip of the gun.
The long axe, which had already cleaved halfway around, followed his hand and slashed at Han Xu again!
Han Xu had clearly underestimated Sun Mingyu, and his expression immediately changed!
With a flick of his spear, the tip pierced through Sun Mingyu's palm with a soft "thud"!
However, Sun Mingyu seemed to feel no pain, gripping the tip of the gun tightly, a look of madness in his eyes.
The long axe was already aimed at Han Xu at the waist, intending to cut Han Xu in half with one blow!
At this critical moment, Han Xu used his trump card: a sword hidden in a gun.
Han Xu suddenly twisted his spear!
Amidst the dazzling display, Han Xu actually pulled a longsword from the gun barrel!
A sword cleaved Sun Mingyu's left hand, which was holding the gun, in two!
"laugh!"
In an instant, Sun Mingyu's hand was chopped off.
Sun Mingyu, acting like a madman, ignored his severed left hand and gripped the long axe tightly with his right.
Raise it again for a horizontal slash!
Han Xu's face turned pale, a flash of anger crossed his eyes, but he didn't pick up the spear.
With a swift step, his figure flashed, and the tip of his sword instantly pierced towards Sun Mingyu's throat!
"I give up!"
On the second floor, a powerful figure from the Martial Arts Alliance roared.
The referee immediately came onto the field to separate the two, while a doctor rushed onto the field to begin treatment.
"In the first match, Kyoto Takeshi won."
