The speed of the first round was swift and it didn’t take long for the final bout to commence.
Wang Yun VS Xia Xuan.
Theoretically speaking, the small size of the arena for this type of battle was disadvantageous for Xia Xuan and his massive mechanical beast. Moreover, this was in Lingxi City, which meant Xia Xuan was essentially fighting on opposing turf, almost all the cheering from the audience was for Wang Yun.
Naturally, the majority of the cheers were from men.
However, Xia Xuan seemed well-prepared, his Mechanical Tyrannosaurus had more layers of heavy armor than usual. Apart from the dense assortment of weapons, not a single joint was exposed.
Against the excessively tough defense of the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus, Wang Yun’s Six-eyed Monkey couldn’t exploit its advantages and was forcibly defeated by the indiscriminate attacks of Xia Xuan’s beast.
Bai Qi roughly calculated that the ammunition Xia Xuan had consumed in a mere thirty seconds was worth more than a hundred thousand federal coins.
Tsk, the whims of the rich.
“Still, it’s a roundabout way of demonstrating the principle that a single strong force can break myriad methods.”
Wang Yun’s Six-eyed Monkey had an exceptionally strong ability to observe and adapt quickly, but it didn’t possess a corresponding attacking power. Against an average opponent, it could manage well enough, but against someone like Xia Xuan, who blatantly placed emphasis on defenses, it was at a loss.
“It seems the Steel Training Dummy task can be shelved temporarily. It’s more important to focus on improving Alpha’s attack power for the time being, otherwise, it’ll be hard to cope in the future.”
Alpha was a master of Speed Variation, and its attack power was currently satisfactory. However, there was no certainty it wouldn’t face opponents skilled in defense in the future. If Alpha didn’t possess a striking offensive method, it might have to suffer the same fate as the Six-eyed Monkey did today.
Seeing Bai Qi’s serious demeanor, Han Wei and the others looked disdainful.
The Haoli Dojo’s physically powerful beasts weren’t even rivals for Alpha. And this guy was worried that Alpha’s attack power was insufficient?
What would they be considered then, trash?
“Xia Xuan advances to the next round. The first round of the examination officially ends. Competitors in the next round, please take the time to rest.”
Mo Guan announced the results, and the list of participants for the second round appeared on the big screen.
“Bai Qi, Xia Xuan, Han Wei… just three competitors from Gusu City qualified for the top ten?”
Seeing the lonely three names of Gusu City on the screen, President Qin and Cui Ming’s moods took a swift turn.
“These boys, their combat experience is so lacking. It seems necessary to discuss the after-school extension scheme with the mayor.”
With a gloomy expression, President Qjn quietly formulated a whole new routine.
“It won’t do, we must let that boy Bai Qi secure the first rank,”
With that thought, President Qin disappeared on the spot with a teleport.
At that moment, Bai Qi was earnestly playing with his Rune Rubik’s Cube, while an overly thick Rune Dictionary lay on the side.
He had advanced to the tenth level of the Rune Rubik’s Cube. Both the number and complexity of the runes appearing on it had significantly increased. Bai Qj needed to make the most of his time to build up his knowledge repository.
“At a time like this, you actually have the leisure to play with your Rubik’s Cube?”
Seeing Bai Qi’s leisurely demeanor, President Qjn was instantly irked and gave him an earful.
Old Qin has a bone to pick with me? Wasn’t everything just fine?
With an innocent face, Bai Qi put down the Rubik’s Cube and said, “Isn’t this me brushing up on my rune knowledge, so I can complete your task, President?”
Upon hearing this, President Qin paused for a moment, then said, “Leave the rune matter for now. I need to make it clear to you, in the upcoming matches, you cannot lose any, and you need to win them impressively. Do you understand?”
“If you don’t achieve the first rank, you know what will happen.”
“Uh, understood!”
This sort of pressure… Old Qin wouldn’t have made another bet with Cui Ming, would he?
Small bets give pleasure, large bets harm the body. How could Old Qin at his age not understand this simple truth?
With a sigh of frustration, Bai Qi thought, winning is one thing, but winning appealingly and impressively, isn’t Old Qin just forcing him to show off?
I’m low-key, I can’t deal with such a thing.
Seeing Bai Qi’s unwilling expression, Old Qin quickly thought of a solution, “That’s right, I heard you signed an endorsement contract with the Elf House?” “Correct, is there a problem with that?”
“No problem, the champion of every Occupational Test is always invited for similar endorsements. With the joint exam of the two cities this year, there will probably be more invitations. If the title is taken by someone else, I fear that your endorsement fee might just…”
In an instant, sparks flew from Bai Qi’s eyes as he declared,
“Rest assured, President, the championship will definitely belong to our Gusu City!”
Whoever robs me of my little money, I will slay!
Little Ling Mountain Arena.
The candidates for the second round hadn’t yet entered the arena, but the audience had already filled the seats, discussing the two competing names about to appear on the screen.
Bai Qi VS Zhang Kai
“Hey, who do you think will win this round? ”
“Isn’t it obvious? For sure, it is Zhang Kai.”
“Zhang Kai’s Silent Talent, combined with the superpower attributes of the Nocturnal Raccoon, will certainly surpass Bai Qi!”
“Makes sense, besides I heard Zhang Kai might have reached the Second Stage. With a two against one advantage, it’s easy to abuse.”
“Who are you looking down on? Is it even necessary for a two against one?”
“Well, it seems like you’re right. Hey, Zhang Kai is entering the arena.”
Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Zhang Kai slowly stepped into the battlefield, while Bai Qi on the opponent’s side had yet to enter.
“Don’t tell me he knew he couldn’t win, so he just ran away?”
From the spectator seats of Lingxi City, came a spate of ridicule, drawing nods of agreement from the crowd. However, some people came up with opposing opinions.
“That’s unlikely. After all, Bai Qi did win the first round of the two examinations, and I’ve heard from a friend in Gusu City that this Bai Qi is very strong.”
“This friend of yours? A guy or a gal?”
“It’s a gal.”
“Big bro, please accept my admiration!”
“Gao Cheng, have you seen Bai Qi?”
Despite being urged three times by Mo Guan, Bai Qi didn’t appear, which left Lu Yuan rather restless.
Now, Bai Qi was considered their last hope, well, one of them, for Gusu City. If he fled without a fight, he could forget about ever showing his face again.
“I just checked the rest room, he wasn’t there. He might be somewhere, practicing harder.”
Gao Cheng was also a bit anxious and said, “I’ll go look for him again, hopefully, I can make it in time.”
“No need, I can see him.”
Han Wei’s eyes twitched as he pointed in the direction opposite to Zhang Kai. Gao Cheng and a few others also looked in the direction where Han Wei was pointing.
High above the arena, Bai Qi was clad in Bone Armor, hands behind his back, and stepping on the Bone Long Sword flying through the air, instantly capturing everyone’s attention.
“Holy shit, is this the legendary Sword Flying?!”
“Knees down to the big guy, may I ask when the big guy will take disciples?”
“Speaking of which, isn’t the big guy’s pet beast the Ice Shadow Swordsman? When did he change it to this sword?”
“Are you blind? This is the Ice Shadow Swordsman transformed. Look, it’s turned into a lounge chair now.”
”23333-”
Looking at Bai Qi, who flew up on his sword and then casually sat on a bone deck chair, even Mo Guan, who had been an examiner for many years, couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Old Qin, where on earth did you find such a, um, talent?”
President Qin’s eyes twitched, completely at a loss as to how to describe Bai Qi’s flamboyant performance.
You’re meant to compete seriously, not show off!
