Chapter 95 - 94: Xia Xuan Loses Again
Looking at his name singled out on the big screen, he only felt a wave of heartache.
Being unable to compete meant he couldn’t show off anymore?
Without showing off, wouldn’t his endorsement fees decrease?
I’m going to report this; there’s some foul play!
Coach, I want to compete!
Regrettably, the arrangement of the grand tournament was entirely random, and outsiders couldn’t intervene, otherwise, Zhang Kai and Bai Qi wouldn’t meet this early.
“Forget it, let’s see what tricks Xia Xuan comes up with later. The large-scale energy system in the secret realm may still rely on him to solve it.”
Bai Qi looked at Xia Xuan’s opponent on the battle chart, and by chance, it was Gu Shan, whom he had noticed earlier.
“It’s a pity, Xia Xuan’s big guy isn’t afraid of a mobbing.”
Even though he had defeated Xia Xuan twice, Bai Qi still recognized Xia Xuan’s strength. Especially under the financial onslaught of the other party, an average person really couldn’t contend with him.
Shortly, the break time ended, and the match between Xia Xuan and Gu Shan officially began.
Looking at Gu Shan, who was dressed ordinarily, looked ordinary, and even had a common pet beast, Xia Xuan’s eyes couldn’t help but flash with disdain, and soon he cast his gaze to Bai Qi in the audience.
Because of some blabbermouth brazenly spreading rumors, his two losses to Bai Qi were well-known in the circle. Lately, he had enough of everyone else’s ridicule.
This time, he learned his lesson, and with the help of a professional team, he completely remodeled the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus and Mechanical Sword Dragon Beast.
This time, whether it was a quick sneak attack or violent disassembly, long-range or close combat, the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus had a method to deal with it.
As long as he could counter the previous humiliation in such a large-scale competition, the previous negative news would be swept away.
“Please prepare, contestants.”
Mo Guan’s gaze swept across the two, signaling them to get ready, and both immediately summoned their pets.
On the one hand, there were two beautifully crafted and giant mechanical beasts, on the other, a lower-level ordinary pet with a normal bloodline. Hardly anyone was optimistic about Gu Shan’s outcome, and everyone started looking forward to the next battle.
“Let’s finish this quickly, I still have to prepare for the final battle.”
Xia Xuan glanced at Gu Shan, who was still standing there dumbfounded, and impatiently gave orders to the two Mechanical Beasts. Gu Shan on the other side finally reacted and began to move.
However, this time Gu Shan did not let his four pet beasts attack separately. Instead, they clung together closely, launching a long-range attack on the two Mechanical Beasts together.
Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, four different types of attacks actually harmoniously combined together, and they burst out with a power that exceeded their original strength.
“Is this, Elemental Resonance Talent, this kid is a Dual Talent user?!”
Seeing the methods Gu Shan used, Mo Guan was somewhat unsettled, looking at the stage with a surprised face. Cui Ming also had a surprised look, apparently also not expecting Gu Shan to have a second talent.
However, very quickly, Cui Ming’s surprise was overwhelmed by ecstasy.
Beast Control Space enhancement talent added to Elemental Resonance Talent, Gu Shan’s talents are nothing less than Zhang Kai’s.
No, not considering any specific match-ups, it could be even higher!
What is Tainxuan High School doing, wasting such a talent.
“First, it was the Silent Talent, and now another Dual Talent holder, why do all these little monsters pop out from Lingxi City.”
Looking at the two Mechanical Beasts below that were submerged by the combined attack of Gu Shan’s four pet beasts, President Qin had already envisioned Gu Shan’s bright future, which was followed by complaints.
“But thankfully, I still have a Breaking the Void talent holder here.”
President Qin looked at Bai Qi, feeling somewhat comforted in his heart.
Though Gu Shan’s talent was good, the resources he consumed were doubled. And Bai Qi had the Breaking the Void talent. He would never lack resources, and Gu Shan may not be Bai Qi’s opponent in that regard.
Finally, the energy wave dissipated, and Xia Xuan’s two mechanical beasts were left in tatters, clearly having lost their combat ability.
“Did I lose again?”
Xia Xuan dumbfoundedly looked at his two mechanical beasts and then glanced at Gu Shan across from him who was also panting heavily, a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.
Simultaneously using two talents and that high-powered skill put a big burden on Gu Shan. If he had launched his attack before Gu Shan, the outcome might have been different.
He who strikes first prevails, and he who strikes last suffers, he had forgotten about this again.
“Gu Shan, advances to the next round.”
The hot favorite to win the championship, Xia Xuan, was unexpectedly eliminated. But the spectators in the arena became even more excited.
The purpose of watching the competition was to see the exciting stuff. There’s no point in watching once the result is known.
“I didn’t expect Xia Xuan to lose. If I didn’t know that Xia Xuan wasn’t short of money, I’d suspect he was throwing the match.”
As someone who was relatively familiar with Xia Xuan among the people present, Han Wei was also surprised by Xia Xuan’s unexpected defeat.
“Tsk, good thing no one dares to gamble on professional assessments, otherwise a lot of people would be jumping off buildings tonight.”
Bai Qi nodded upon hearing this. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t believe the outcome, especially compared with Wang Yun and Zhang Kai, Gu Shan was way too low-key.
As a Dual Talent user, if it were up to Bai Qi, he’d definitely be showing off.
Without showing off, where would the money come from to train so many pet beasts!
“However, that Four Element Combination Skill is indeed tricky.”
Bai Qi rubbed his chin and started thinking about countermeasures.
He hasn’t signed a new contract with the Elf House yet. If the championship that’s already in his hands slipped away, it would be a big loss.
“Alright, it’s my turn next.”
The first match of the third round ended at an amazing speed. Even when Han Wei’s round started, the spectators in the arena were still recalling Gu Shan’s set of attacks.
Of course, part of the reason was that there was a big gap between Han Wei’s opponent and him, so the entire game ended quite blandly.
However, Han Wei’s performance after the game did catch the attention of some people.
“Master Mo Guan, I forfeit the next round.”
Han Wei waved at Mo Guan and loudly expressed his thoughts. Mo Guan, after discussing with President Qin and Cui Ming, also agreed to Han Wei’s request.
As a Beast Master, they had the right to admit defeat. It was just that in this kind of ranking battle, people generally didn’t exercise this right.
But considering Bai Qi and Gu Shan, the two competitors whose strength far exceeded their peers, Han Wei’s forfeit seemed wise.
It’s brave to strive for the unknown, but it’s foolish to still strive when the result is known.
“Contestant Han Wei has forfeited. The two contestants participating in the final battle are Bai Qi and Gu Shan.”
“Please prepare well, you two. The final battle will be held in one hour.”
The rest period for this round was obviously longer than before, which could be said to be a concession to Gu Shan.
After all, Bai Qi was on a bye in the previous round and did not consume any energy. But Gu Shan, on the contrary, needed a good rest..
