Chapter 442 Admitting Defeat?
As the referee's voice fell, the audience below the stage, including those on stage and even those in the adjacent groups, all turned to look at Yun Chen and Leng Hanyue.
This match will undoubtedly be the most anticipated battle in Group B!
Leng Hanyue is the personal disciple of the Pavilion Master of Chaoyin Pavilion. Her cultivation has reached the peak of the Golden Core stage, and her techniques are mysterious and unpredictable. She did not go all out in the previous challenge.
Yun Chen's previous display of strength was even more unfathomable, especially in the first round, when he single-handedly challenged Li Yan, the genius ranked tenth on the Dao Alliance list, and even temporarily comprehended sword intent, shattering Li Yan's Dao heart.
Now that the two are facing off, everyone is speculating about who will come out on top.
Just as everyone was filled with anticipation, Leng Hanyue slowly spoke: "I concede!"
boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room erupted in an uproar.
It's one thing for others to admit defeat, but Leng Hanyue actually admitted defeat too?
She is a direct disciple of the Chaoyin Pavilion, with the strength of a peak Golden Core cultivator.
Don't you even have the courage to fight someone?
Not only others, but even Yun Chen was somewhat puzzled. He frowned and looked at Leng Hanyue.
"Miss Leng, what...does this mean?"
Although he had saved Leng Hanyue before, she had also saved him twice.
Is that why they don't want to fight me anymore?
Leng Hanyue, dressed in a light blue dress, exuded a cool and aloof aura. She looked at Yun Chen with a slight glint in her eyes and said, "It's nothing. I just felt I couldn't beat you, so I decided to admit defeat."
Yun Chen frowned, his face full of disbelief.
Can't beat it?
How would you know if you've never played it?
Moreover, he didn't believe that Leng Hanyue was really no match for him.
After all, judging from her performance in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, her strength was no worse than Li Yan's, and she was even close to Bai Qingluo's.
He didn't believe this reason for admitting defeat at all.
"Are you really going to admit defeat?"
"Don't worry, I won't be eliminated even if I lose to you. As long as I get into the top four, I can still advance."
Leng Hanyue spoke indifferently, seemingly not taking it seriously at all.
Yun Chen: ...
When Leng Hanyue said this, not only was Yun Chen stunned, but the whole audience was also abuzz with discussion.
"A disciple of the Chaoyin Pavilion surrendered without a fight?"
"Just how strong is Yun Chen? Even Leng Hanyue doesn't dare to fight him?"
"Could it be that the two of them had some prior connection?"
In the spectator stands, the Pavilion Master of Chaoyin Pavilion, Fairy Bibo, also known as Mu Bingyun, frowned slightly but did not speak up to stop it.
Master Yu Shu stroked his beard and remained silent, his eyes gleaming, lost in thought.
Yun Chen stood on the arena, watching Leng Hanyue's indifferent departing figure, his heart filled with doubts.
This is definitely not Leng Hanyue's personality.
She never backed down when facing powerful enemies in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, so how could she easily admit defeat now?
Unless... she has other plans.
In the next match, Yun Chen easily won again because Leng Hanyue conceded defeat.
Leng Hanyue, with her formidable strength, easily defeated her opponents and firmly secured second place in Group B.
The Group B competition ended quickly. Yun Chen won all his matches and came in first place, Leng Hanyue came in second, Zi Feng came in fourth after a hard-fought battle, and another disciple of Taixu Palace came in third.
The others were eliminated, but they weren't entirely without a chance.
As long as someone from their sect ultimately achieves a high ranking, they can still be brought into the secret realm.
Meanwhile, the results of the other group matches were also coming out one after another.
In the Group D arena, Zhao Xiruo's strength increased by leaps and bounds after breaking through to the Golden Core stage, and she actually won the bottom three position in her group, successfully advancing to the next round.
This surprised Yun Chen.
In the Geng Group arena, Liu Yanran achieved first place with her exquisite swordsmanship and agile movements, successfully advancing to the next round.
In the Group A arena, Shen Nan fought a hard battle and ultimately ranked second, successfully advancing to the next round.
The most surprising one is Renzu.
Lin Wan'er displayed amazing strength, winning every match easily, and no one could force her to use her full strength.
Even more surprisingly, Lu Beiyou lost to Lin Wan'er and advanced to the next round with a second-place finish.
When the group stage ended and the list of the top 32 was released, Shenlei Palace became the biggest winner, with more than a dozen people advancing.
The worst off was Jade Void Palace, with only six people advancing.
Li Yan, who was originally the most likely to win first place, was surprisingly eliminated.
This almost made Master Yu Shu's nose crooked with anger.
So, their Jade Void Palace is the weakest, huh?
“Yu Shu, your Yu Xu Palace is really getting worse with each generation! If this continues, I’m afraid you won’t be able to preserve your lineage.”
Lin Xuantong, standing to the side, looked at the list of disciples who had advanced below the stage and couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.
"Hmph! My Jade Void Palace knows what it's all about, so stop worrying! Who will have the last laugh depends on the final rankings." Jade Pivot Master glared at Lin Xuantong.
Lin Xuantong shrugged noncommittally.
Elder Lei, standing to the side, watched the two of them, his lips twitching as he tried to laugh but held it back.
Since the sect leader isn't present, it's best for him not to provoke any enemies.
After all… there’s Zhao Xiruo, who has an innate Dao body, so it’s better to keep a low profile.
"Elder Lei, after this is over, could you... come to my residence? There are some things I'd like to discuss."
At this moment, the Fairy of Azure Waves suddenly spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Elder Lei suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Fairy Bibo.
Lin Xuantong and Yu Shu Zhenren also looked at Bibo Fairy at the same time, their eyes narrowing involuntarily.
The emergence of a person with an innate Dao physique from the Divine Thunder Palace, coupled with the Tide Sound Pavilion's private meeting with the elders of the Divine Thunder Palace, makes it difficult for them not to have some thoughts.
"Ahem...I wonder if there's anything you need, Pavilion Master Mu?" Elder Lei asked calmly.
Mu Bingyun remained calm and simply said, "I think you should want to know about... Yun Chen's master."
Upon hearing this, Elder Lei was immediately visibly shaken and nodded without hesitation, saying, "Alright, I will go."
He also wanted to inquire about the whereabouts of Master Yunchen on Yunchen's behalf.
If we can rescue Master Yunchen, then keeping Yunchen and Zhao Xiruo in the Divine Thunder Palace will be a certainty.
There's no need to worry about the two of them leaving anymore.
Fairy Bibo nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this and said nothing more.
However, Master Yu Shu and Lin Xuan looked at each other simultaneously, their expressions complicated.
.........
As the competition ended, it grew dark in the square.
This also means that today's qualifying matches have come to an end, and the final elimination matches will be held tomorrow.
At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out from the high platform.
"Now I announce... the rankings of the top two hundred."
The elder in charge of law enforcement stood on the high platform, and with a wave of his hand, a dazzling light screen lit up.
Then... on the light screen, densely packed names and rankings were arranged from top to bottom, the golden lettering particularly eye-catching in the twilight.
The rankings start from 33rd and end at 200th.
As for the top 32, the results will be announced after the final tomorrow.
As soon as the rankings were announced, a noisy discussion broke out at the scene.
Yun Chen, however, was not interested in this and prepared to return to his residence with Zhao Xiruo.
