Chapter 693: Chapter 185: An Unexpected Outcome
"Whatâs so great about that? She just got lucky and hit it by chance," Li Xinyue said sourly, seeing everyone praising Yan.
"Then why donât you try shooting, who was it that recklessly cast a spell just now? If it was not for my agility in dodging the Hell Birdâs attack, I would have been killed by your magic," Huang retorted coldly.
It was a joke. Just a moment ago, amidst the fog, Li Xinyue had recklessly cast Fire Flame Burst, and if Donghuang Lingling hadnât dodged quickly, she would have been burnt to death.
"Exactly, some people talk big, but when it comes to action, they turn into shrinking turtles," Chen Yongâan also took the opportunity to mock.
"Show us in the next match, letâs see who really has the backbone," Li Xinyue held back her anger.
"Donât be proud, this time, you won, but in the next match, you wonât be so lucky," Huang Fushi pulled Li Xinyue away.
No matter what, they had already advanced to tomorrowâs rematch.
The incidents of today were somewhat strange.
Huang Fushi also doubted how Yan could pinpoint the real location of the Hell Bird. Could it be that she really had some extraordinary ability?
If thatâs the case, then some Hidden Moves would have to be played in the next match.
The competition of the Fourth Team ended quickly; they fought to a draw against the Three-headed Ghost Dog.
All four team members lost their combat capabilities, and the Three-headed Ghost Dog also collapsed due to exhaustion.
The battle was fiercely intense, delighting the audience in the Arena.
Following that, the Fifth Team took the field to face the Thunder Wolf.
And it was over in just 15 minutes.
"Sixth Team, itâs your turn now," it hadnât been long since the third match had just ended.
The staff quickly came in.
"What happened, the match ended so quickly?" Chen Yongâan still wanted to ask Yan for some tips on dealing with Commander-level Demon Beasts.
"The Fifth Team forfeited, and the audience is causing a ruckus, Second Young Master asked you to quickly take the stage," the staff said impatiently.
The Fifth Team had indeed directly forfeited.
This outcome surprised everyone.
According to the rules announced by Tianyidong before the competition, there are only two ways the competition can end.
Forfeit before the match or die in the match.
But each team only gets one chance to forfeit.
The Fifth Team chose to forfeit, saving their lives, but they have cornered themselves for the next match.
Chen Yongâan walked a few steps, then suddenly turned and approached Yan, pulling out a bag of gold coins from his pocket.
"If Iâm not mistaken, you must be from Sky Hunting Corps, right?" when Flame Emperor entered earlier, the Sky Expedition people were cheering vigorously.
Chen Yongâan observed Yanâs bold style and could tell she had been in the Hunting Corps.
Yan didnât deny it.
Although she was no longer in the Hunting Corps, she was still a Hunter Soldier.
As a Hunter Soldier, one should never refuse a mission under any circumstances.
Seeing that Yan didnât deny it, Chen Yongâan felt even more relieved.
He temporarily entrusted Yan with a mission.
In these years, he has been relentlessly fighting in the Sky Wings Arena, amassing one hundred thousand gold coins, which equate to ten thousand Purple Gold Coins.
He used a thousand gold coins out of this fortune to pay Yan as a commission.
If he returns after the match, the gold coins would simply be considered as temporarily kept by Yan.
If, in the arena, he encounters an unexpected mishap, he hopes Yan would at least retrieve his body.
Once she leaves the Sky Wings Arena, she is to take his ashes and those gold coins to Hou Qin, to a woman named Li Qin.
"I canât trust others with this, please take this burden," Chen Yongâan said with a simple smile.
"Brother Chen, you will win. Unicorns generally donât attack humans aggressively. As long as you donât provoke it, there is still a chance for a draw," Yan encouraged.
"My gut feels very sharp, and I perpetually sense that something bad will happen," Chen Yongâan said, his expression unchanged as if discussing someone elseâs life or death.
Everyone coming to the Sky Wings Arena has their unavoidable sorrows.
When Chen Yongâan alone entered the Sky Wings Arena to compete, he knew that one day he would meet his end there.
He is not afraid of death; itâs just the unfulfilled deep-seated wish in his heart that makes him somewhat resentful.
In the arena, the spectators vehemently cursed the cowards; the Fifth Team could only skulk away in defeat and dared not utter a word upon returning to the lounge.
In the previous four matches, the Demon Beasts won two rounds, the teams won two rounds, and one was a tie.
However, in battling the Ice River Mad Elephant, only two members of the First Team remained, the outcome evident; whilst the Fourth Team drew, they were so exhausted that they had no chance in tomorrowâs matches.
Realistically, only the First Team, Third Team, Fifth Team, and the about-to-participate Sixth Team could still compete tomorrow.
Situations like this were even beyond the expectations of Tianyidong, the organizer.
As night fell, just before the last contest started, Tianyidong summoned Tian Yiyu, accompanied by Kong Fei.
"Whatâs going on? How come the contestants from the Yellow Wing Competition Zone are this weak?" Tianyidong sharply reprimanded as he summoned Tian Yiyu.
"These contestants are battle-hardened, theyâre not weaklings," Tian Yiyu glanced sideways at Kong Fei, "I think thereâs something off with the Demon Beasts in the competition zone."
She had noticed earlier that this time, the Demon Beasts were exceptionally aggressive.
Especially in the arena, where they were brutally fierce.
"What could be wrong? The Yellow Wing Zone has always been weak. Second Young Master, you donât have to worry. These fierce Demon Beasts, even if the contestants are all defeated, with this batch of Demon Beasts, next yearâs Xuan Yi District will definitely make a killing," Kong Fei gloated.
"Todayâs matches are almost over, we can only check the conditions of the Demon Beasts tomorrow," Tianyidong said, his headache intensifying as he watched the restless audience.
After giving his serious instructions as a final farewell, Chen Yongâan and several comrades briskly walked out.
"Letâs all go out and watch," proposed Huang, as todayâs matches had ended anyway, and Lion Heartâs two members also followed them out.
In the arena, the Bright Unicorn still maintained its original form, graceful in posture.
The Sixth Team stepped into the Arena.
"Refund! Refund!"
Due to the previous matchâs forfeiture, many spectators were clamoring for a refund.
"Ladies and gentlemen," at this crucial moment, the judge Huo Si waved his hand, a meaningful smile on his lips, "Huo Si guarantees with his life that the following match will be more thrilling than the previous ones."
"Yan, arenât Unicorns the most peace-loving Demon Beasts? Why does it sound from the judgeâs words that the upcoming match is going to be a tough one?" Huang pulled at Yan, referring to the legend of Unicorns that has long existed on the continent.
"Hard to say, the earlier Hell Bird also seemed harmless. If Iâm not mistaken, the lower the number, the stronger the Demon Beasts," Yan also stared intently at the Unicorn.
"The contest officially begins," Huo Si announced.
