However, Xuanyuan Shishi had no intention of continuing. "I'm so dizzy. I'm done, I'm done. You win." With that said, he turned and leapt off the stage.
The first battle of the semifinals was over. Zeus, the Divine King, had defeated Xuanyuan Shishi in an unstoppable manner.
Throughout the fight, Xuanyuan Shishi hadn't used his full strength. He had been suppressed from start to finish.
No one had foreseen such a situation.
Mo Xiao's surprised voice rang out. "Let us congratulate Zeus for being the first to reach the finals.
He's starting to show signs of being a Godking.
Now, let's see if he'll be crowned god.
Your Majesty, what do you think of the fight? "
The Terminator's eyes were dark. "Xuanyuan Shishi didn't really lose. He has a trump card he hasn't used yet. Of course, it could be that he can't use it, or that he can't handle it.
In the previous match, Zeus should have gained some enlightenment.
He's improving at a godly pace. "
His disciple had risked his life in order to win the Tournament and bring glory to the Major League. His own potential had been greatly diminished, and his future had been a bumpy one.
But he'd lost to a guy named Zeus. Zeus, on the other hand, had relied on constant breakthroughs to solidify his path to Paragon.
Was Skyfire Avenue really so richly endowed by nature?
Of course he knew Lan Jue was the Jewelry Master from Skyfire Avenue.
Skyfire Avenue's history and future had overshadowed the glory of the Major League and the two Citadels.
Mo Xiao could sense the Terminator's gloom. She quickly changed the subject. "Next, the White Blademaster Jun Yongye versus the Sword-Spirit Fairy, the Pharmacist.
Who do you think will win? "
The Terminator didn't hesitate this time. "The Pharmacist should be stronger. She fought Jiang Yuan of the Dark Citadel.
The power she displayed at the end was equivalent to a Paragon's attack. Her weapon must have reached the level of a Paragon. "
As a second rank Paragon, he could see that the Pharmacist was forcibly suppressing her breakthrough.
Otherwise she'd be a Paragon by now.
This person was also from Skyfire Avenue.
Add to that the five Paragons of Skyfire Avenue. Even if the Clairvoyant was lost, Skyfire Avenue would still be full of talents.
It would be strange if he was in a good mood.
Mo Xiao nodded.
"Then let us wait and see."
Lan Jue happily walked back to her seat.
The Pharmacist rose to her feet with a smile. "Congratulations."
Lan Jue smiled and said, "Sister, do your best."
A strange smile spread across the Pharmacist's face. "You're the one who should be cheering.
After that, there's still the finals. There's an even greater challenge waiting for you. "
"Hmm?" Lan Jue looked at her in confusion.
Suddenly, the Pharmacist dissolved into a stream of light.
She was the first to land on the stage.
The Blade Fairy's arrival was met with cheers from the audience.
The strength she had displayed in the final battle of the round-robin stage was too strong.
Especially the scene of killing the evil dragon, it had already become a story that everyone took delight in talking about.
If the Northerners had to pick who they thought would win the championship, more than seventy percent of them would pick the Pharmacist.
The White Blademaster, Jun Yongye, stepped onto the stage as well.
He bowed slightly to the Pharmacist.
The Pharmacist didn't return the gesture. Instead, she gave him a meaningful look.
Then she turned to the VIP platform. "I forfeit!"
I!
Forfeit!
You!
The moment those three words left her mouth.
The crowd was stunned.
Forfeit?
What did she mean by forfeit?
For a moment, the entire arena was silent.
The Pharmacist, one of the favorites to win the semifinals, had chosen to forfeit against the White Blademaster Jun Yongye?
What should have been a conversation between the strongest had ended in such a strange way?
This …
Lan Jue had just sat down, but when he heard those three words, he shot to his feet almost reflexively.
Forfeit?
What are you doing, sis?
Why are you forfeiting?
You're supposed to be with me in the finals, aren't you?
He didn't know what to think.
The Gourmet, the leader of Skyfire Avenue, was just as surprised. What was going on? The Pharmacist was forfeiting?
She was a representative of the Avenue, after all!
If she forfeited …
That would mean no one from the Great Adept Associations would be participating in the finals.
Wasn't this kind of situation a little awkward?
The Terminator turned his head to look at the Gourmet with a knowing look. He gave him a slight nod.
The Gourmet didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This guy must think Skyfire Avenue is trying to save face for the Major League and the Citadels …
But I'm not, I'm not!
Strange emotions spread throughout the arena, and soon the audience was in an uproar.
The White Blademaster, Jun Yongye, didn't seem surprised. Instead, he bowed to the Pharmacist once more. The Pharmacist nodded back, turned, and left the arena. She made her way to Lan Jue.
"Today's match is over. Let's go!" She grabbed Lan Jue's arm and turned to leave the arena.
If the Pharmacist had forfeited her match against Zeus, the audience would have understood. After all, they'd been very close in front of the entire human audience. There had to be a story between them.
But the Pharmacist had forfeited against the White Blademaster, Jun Yongye. That didn't make sense!
She had no reason to forfeit.
"Sis, why did you forfeit?" Lan Jue asked the Pharmacist.
The Pharmacist looked at him. "I can't tell you now, but you'll find out later.
What you need to do now is prepare for tomorrow's finals. Defeat Jun Yongye!
Do you understand? "
Her tone was unprecedentedly stern. She sounded like a big sister, or even a strict mother.
Lan Jue nodded his head in agreement. A thousand thoughts raced through his mind, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out why the Pharmacist would do this. Why would she forfeit? There was no reason at all.
Did she not want to fight me in the finals? Did she want to give me another opponent to train against?
But that didn't make any sense!
Puzzled, Lan Jue was dragged out of the Major League Arena by the Pharmacist.
The entire Major League Arena was in a frenzy of excitement.
But the Pharmacist had forfeited. Not even the organizers could do anything about it. No matter how displeased the crowd was, it was pointless.
The finalists of the tournament had been announced. Zeus versus the White Blademaster, Jun Yongye.
It would be an epic showdown that would determine the champion of the tournament.
"I told you daddy was going to win!
Daddy's going to win tomorrow! "
Jun Er said proudly from the Gourmet's arms. She didn't seem angry at her mother's decision to forfeit. It was clear she knew.
The Gourmet picked her up and bade the Terminator and the Epochrion farewell before leaving the VIP platform.
The Pharmacist dragged Lan Jue all the way back to the hotel. "Go back and cultivate. You need to stabilize your hard earned powers.
Don't think too much about it, just focus on finishing the tournament.
Jun Er and I will be rooting for you. You have to be the champion.
Definitely! "
"I'll do my best," Lan Jue promised.
The Pharmacist patted him on the shoulder and smiled. Then she turned and walked away, as though she had only just remembered to pick up her daughter.
Lan Jue watched her leave. He thought for a moment, then hurried to the elevator.
He was too conspicuous in his mask. If anyone saw him, they'd recognize him.
Back in his room, he separated Zhou Qianlin from his body. Lan Jue hid in the bathroom to wait for her to change. She stood in front of the mirror. "Why do you think she forfeited?" Lan Jue asked.
"I have a strange feeling she knows Jun Yongye."
Qianlin said as she changed her clothes. "Maybe she has some unspeakable difficulties.
But I can tell she doesn't mean you any harm. "
Lan Jue thought of her relationship with Zhou Qianlin. Was she speaking for the Pharmacist, or herself?
Lan Jue fell silent. Zhou Qianlin's voice called from outside. "I'm done."
Lan Jue walked out. She looked at Zhou Qianlin, who had changed into a long white dress. "You rest," she said. "I'm going to meditate on what I learned today."
"Alright." Zhou Qianlin nodded. "I'll stand guard."
Lan Jue's breakthrough had been a great help to the Pharmacist. They'd been fused together, and she'd watched Lan Jue's breakthrough.
Lan Jue didn't say anything else. She sat down, closed her eyes, and began to meditate.
Qianlin stood at his side, watching his calm demeanor. Her pretty face revealed a complicated expression.
Ah Jue, she thought to herself. Do you know how much I wish I could tell you the truth?
But you're in the middle of a breakthrough. I can't let this affect your mind.
Everything will have to wait until we're back on Skyfire Avenue.
I will definitely tell you the truth about everything that happened.
The audience wasn't satisfied with the two semifinals. Both the live audience and the holographic viewers felt the same way.
For a moment, all kinds of scolding came one after another. Some blamed the organizers, and some blamed the alchemists.
Relatively few voices came from the Eastern Alliance. After all, even if two contestants were eliminated, the Eastern Alliance would still make it to the finals.
The Eastern Alliance would be the champion. The Eastern Alliance didn't matter much.
