The whole world was silent.
Countless eyes stared blankly at the square. Fei Long's figure gradually disappeared, and Lin Yu's eyes were lifeless, his breath was weak, and he was absent-minded, as if he had lost his soul.
At the beginning of the competition, when he faced the two-star early stage Luo Feng, he looked disdainful, as if he had come to his own home ground.
Now, the arrogance and disdain on his face had long disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by incomparable embarrassment and loneliness.
A hero past his prime.
After a long time, he came back to his senses. Like a deflated balloon, he said, "I admit that you won."
And this sentence undoubtedly put an end to this competition.
"Actually, you're very good." Luo Feng comforted him and smiled faintly. "I'm too strong."
Lin Yu: "Yes."
The eyes of the audience gathered on the young man on the square. The doubts and scrutiny on their faces had long disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by awe.
They seemed to have seen a new dynasty that was about to rise.
"This Luo Feng is too strong. Even a proud son of heaven like Lin Yu was beaten by him. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, it would be unbelievable."
"Who exactly is he?!"
"Hey, I have a friend who told me that he didn't come in through connections. It was Deacon Qin Sheng who was traveling outside and brought him back."
"This is considered a new style, right? Skill Stealing Style?"
"It's so annoying. I thought until now, but I still can't think of any lineup that can counter this style. What should I do if I encounter such a lineup in the future?"
"Hey, what's there to think about? If you can't beat him, just join him …"
Qin Sheng, who was watching all this from afar, rubbed his eyebrows, and a gratified expression appeared on his face.
He almost saw with his own eyes that when he first met the Empress, Luo Feng, who was originally a dead end, found a critical opportunity to survive in a hopeless situation. Then, he rose to the top, defeated Lin Yu, and became famous in one battle.
"Another hidden dragon has come out of the abyss. I'm really curious. What kind of waves will this hidden dragon cause when it enters the Holy Land? What kind of sparks will be created when it encounters those peerless monsters?"
He knew that the empress had high hopes for Luo Feng. Thinking about it, she would be equally shocked if Luo Feng could enter the finals.
Han Xiang was silent. This person's plot was too coquettish. It was so coquettish that he lost all face in front of Qin Sheng. There was nothing he could say.
Luo Feng heaved a sigh of relief. This Lin Yu was indeed a formidable opponent. If he hadn't been one step ahead, the outcome of the battle would have been hard to predict.
"How do you feel?" Qin Sheng walked over and smiled at him.
Luo Feng revealed a bitter expression and said, "I'm thinking that Lin Yu, a two-star Star Card disciple, already has so many trump cards. When he meets stronger opponents in the future, won't his trump cards be endless and make people vomit blood?"
Qin Sheng smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's not like that. Although Lin Yu's realm isn't high, his strategy is already very mature. Even a four-star or five-star Star Card disciple in the Holy Land may not be as good as him in terms of strategy."
"The reason why you feel tired is because your opponent at the beginning of the match is already at the King level."
"It's too difficult for me to enter the King level at the beginning."
He rubbed his eyebrows and muttered, "It would have been better if I was in the Bronze level. I'm afraid I'll be scared witless in the following matches."
"Hehe, what's the point of beating the weak?" Qin Sheng laughed. "The feeling of your life hanging by a thread is what makes people obsessed, isn't it?"
"That's true."
Luo Feng fully approved of this. Although the process was full of twists and turns, with ups and downs, the satisfying feeling after winning the competition was something that made one unable to stop.
After chatting with Qin Sheng for a while, Luo Feng walked down the field and swept through the crowd. Along the way, the girls cast favorable looks at him. It was as if they would follow him as long as he hooked his hand.
"Girls are too troublesome. Star Card disciples are more obedient."
Luo Feng shook his head. In the face of those meaningful gazes, he only smiled politely and didn't give a reply.
At this moment, Mu Qingluan's figure flashed and appeared in front of him.
"Congratulations, you used so much strength. Are you trying to become the champion?" Mu Qingluan said with a smile.
Seeing Luo Feng so dazzling in the Outer Holy Land, where geniuses gathered, Mu Qingluan was happy for him from the bottom of her heart.
Luo Feng smiled faintly and said, "I'm afraid we're going to meet in the finals."
"I also want to," Mu Qingluan pursed her red lips and smiled softly, "If that's the case, you have to let me win."
"Of course," Luo Feng said seriously, "Under the premise that I can win, I will be gentle."
Mu Qingluan rolled her eyes at him and pouted. She said in a slightly aggrieved tone, "You don't even know how to coax me."
Luo Feng smiled bitterly. However, at this moment, Han Xiang's voice sounded again.
"The first semi-final match is over. Next is the second match: Qi Xiao VS Mu Qingluan."
As soon as the voice fell, the sky was suddenly filled with exclamations, one after another, igniting the audience.
It was true that both Qi Xiao and Mu Qingluan were extremely popular among the many new students in the Outer Holy Land.
Under the gazes of many people, Qi Xiao walked calmly to the martial arts arena. He closed his eyes slightly, and there was not the slightest ripple on his face.
Boom!
In the next moment, tyrannical astral energy suddenly erupted from his body like a volcano eruption. It was mighty and raging.
When the crowd felt this tyrannical aura, they were all stunned. Then, exclamations suddenly erupted in the sky.
"Three star! When did Big Brother Qi Xiao break through to three star?!"
"My God, as expected of him. His cultivation speed is really terrifying. He can't be allowed to live!"
"Katu has nine stars. The distance between stars is like the distance between mountains. Big Brother Qi Xiao has reached three star. Unless he admits defeat, he will definitely be the champion!"
"The match is over. Disperse."
…
"Three star?"
Seeing this, Luo Feng was also stunned.
When he had soared from one star to two stars, he had even suspected that he was a one-in-a-million genius and that cultivation was easier than drinking water.
However, since breaking through to two stars, the astral energy in his body had not made any obvious progress so far. Opening the third Star Meridian was still far away.
This made him somewhat doubtful of life. At the same time, he also understood that cultivation was easier said than done.
Although his tricks were fancy, they were only effective when his opponent was at the same level as him.
If the difference in cultivation level was too great, any tricks would not be effective. No matter how fancy the tricks of a one-star Star Card were, a three star Star Card could break them with a punch.
"It seems that if I want to win the championship, in addition to designing a Star Card, I can't fall behind in my cultivation level."
Luo Feng thought to himself. Although time and tide wait for no man, there were times when he had to force himself.
Just like sometimes, if you didn't force your parents, you would never know how rich they were.
He stopped thinking about it and quietly watched the match. Although he had already advanced, it would be beneficial for him to observe Qi Xiao's fighting style and understand more about it.
Half an hour later, the match was over. The battle was extremely intense. Simply put, it could be summarized into the following three points:
…
Hence, Qi Xiao defeated Mu Qingluan and advanced to the finals.
Han Xiang raised his hand to suppress the noise in the square and said, "The semi-finals are over. The finals will be held in half a month."
He paused and his gaze paused slightly on Qi Xiao and Luo Feng. He said, "The finals of the Freshmen League is an extremely important event for the Yan Dynasty. Not only will the seniors from the Sacred Land come to watch the match, but also the higher-ups of the Yan Dynasty, several Card Kings, and even Emperor Yan will come to watch the match.
"I hope you will prepare well and present an exciting finals. Don't disappoint Emperor Yan."
As soon as he said this, the Star Card Masters below were envious. Just the thought of being watched by so many big shots made them excited.
Qi Xiao's expression was one of disdain and excitement. It was as if he could already see the Flame Emperor looking at him with admiration and even rewarding him after the finals.
He could almost see himself being surrounded by stars and shining brightly. A group of Card Kings nodded their heads and praised him. A golden rain fell on him.
That scene really made one's head explode.
"The empress is also coming to watch the match." Luo Feng rubbed his eyebrows. His heart was in turmoil and he was very nervous.
Perhaps it was because he had lied to the empress, but every time he saw her, he felt like he had seen a mouse.
He was trembling with fear and trepidation.
He was afraid that one day Emperor Yan would suddenly recall something and kill him in a fit of rage.
Just as his thoughts were surging, a figure walked towards him.
Luo Feng looked up and saw that it was Qi Xiao who was walking towards him.
At this moment, their gazes met. Their eyes met and there was an indescribable feeling in each other's eyes.
Looking at this hostile scene, there was a low uproar in the crowd.
"Tsk tsk, these two are enemies. A few days ago, Luo Feng snatched his dragon turtle in front of everyone. This Qi Xiao won't let him off easily."
"So what?
Although he is the son of the Prince Of Qi, the Sacred Ground has its own rules. Even a dragon has to stay in the Sacred Ground. If he really wants to use his family's power to do something to Luo Feng, he is really courting death. "
"Qi Xiao won't dare to secretly use a knife, but don't forget that they have both advanced to the finals. When the time comes, I'm afraid he won't hold back at all. He might even beat him up in front of all the Card Kings and Emperor Yan. He won't leave any face for Luo Feng."
"Although Qi Xiao has broken through to three star, I don't know why, but I have a mysterious confidence in Luo Feng. He is a man who can create miracles."
"…"
Many whispers were heard. Those who wanted to watch the show didn't mind blowing things up.
And just when everyone thought that a fight would break out, Qi Xiao didn't say much. He just looked ahead as if he didn't see Luo Feng and walked past him.
However, the moment he walked past Luo Feng, Qi Xiao stopped in his tracks. He still didn't look at Luo Feng. He just stared at the empty space in front of him and said slowly, "Sooner or later, you will have to pay for what you did."
"Half a month later, you will pay for what you have done."
