Endless Systems
Chapter 97
After the semi-final battle had finished, everyone knew that next was the final. However, in that interval there was a break as usual.
Liu Shan who was sitting inside the waiting room even folded his hands in front of his chest. He sighed as he stretched himself to the ceiling.
The contents of the head did not change from the beginning. Even though he had seen how the fight between Xiao Lin and Hao Fenhua was, it did not shake him at all.
“(When I fought Tang Shin, I thought that my strength would be measured. But, it turned out to be wrong)”
When he was plunging into his own mind, suddenly the door of his room opened.
Clack up!
“Then again this is how good to cool kepa-!”
Amidst footsteps leading him in, Hao Fenhua was speechless to see Liu Shan sitting in front of him.
“Eh, Liu Shan? How come you're here?” mumbling Hao Fenhua.
“This is my prep room,” says Liu Shan.
“Your preparation room? Wait, instead-ah!”
His words stalled as soon as he looked out. The writing for the room was clearly visible for the first final participant, Liu Shan. Hao Fenhua patted his forehead while chuckling.
“Haish, sorry. I didn't see it.”
“Not what.”
Liu Shan's voice that drew his gaze lowered. His two palms folded together on the table.
While Hao Fenhua was silent to see it like that. For some reason, Liu Shan gave off a different energy and aura than usual. Feeling that something strange was bothering him, Hao Fenhua walked up to him.
“Hey, ever since you won against Tang Shin, you've changed quite a bit.”
Liu Shan's gaze glanced to the side. And Hao Fenhua continued to ask,
“Something bothers you?”
Liu Shan retracted his gaze. He was silent for a moment until he answered shortly,
“I don't know.”
Short but confusing. Hao Fenhua himself did not know how to behave when he heard the answer.
“Tak know?”
He could only scratch his head while staring at Liu Shan in confusion. Because he felt that he could not help anything, Hao Fenhua could only turn his way towards the exit.
Taps!
The first step out of the room stopped for a moment.
“I can't say much. But don't get into the arena like that.”
His words drew Liu Shan's gaze to glance back at him. He saw how Hao Fenhua looked back a little while talking.
“I don't want to fight people who hesitate to win.”
Clack!
* * * * *
Whoa!!
The festive cheers from the spectators came to welcome the atmosphere of the arena. Along with Bai Ling who was in the middle of the arena as the host.
“All right, we are back again at the Liliang academy tournament. Time had run long until the sun was at its sunset point. This long and festive day will be closed by the final battle of the two participants who have climbed the peak strength of the generation of students of Liliang Academy this year!”
Whaaa!
“Finally final!”
“If Miss Xu Xiao doesn't get away, but that Hao Fenhua is interesting to see!”
“True. I didn't expect someone like him to make it here.”
Among the audience talks there is a support and defense of each other in choosing people.
“Hao Fenhua? Liu Shan is. You guys don't see how he can defeat master Tang Shin?”
“Hah, Hao Fenhua is also the same. He defeated young miss Lin with the perfect plan of knowing!”
“Liu Shan is far superior. Have you ever seen a player who can defeat his opponent without touching him at all?”
The endless debate among the spectators made the situation even more crowded.
“Everything, I know you're all impatient. And don't worry, as we will now directly enter the final battle of the Liliang academy tournament!”
Whoa!!
“This is a fight that will determine the abilities of the best participants among the generation of Liliang academy this year.”
As Bai Ling said that, she turned her head in turn towards the two of them. After the two nodded, Bai Ling continued,
“Liliang academy final tournament battle, Liu Shan against Hao Fenhua. Started!”
The moment the fight began, the two of them vaporized a certain amount of Ki energy from all over his body.
Wosch!
Dak!
The push of the legs made them dart forward towards each other. The two threw the first punch in the shoot out with four eyes.
Dum!
“Uwaa!!”
The powerful thump shook the arena. The gusts of wind came making the people almost fall from their seats.
“Direct attack in the first second?!” muttered Sheng Tong.
“It looks like they don't want to waste time!” qing Yao beside him.
Dum dum dum!
The lightning-fast battle that occurred above the arena left one arena stunned. Liu Shan attacked repeatedly, along with how Hao Fenhua repelled and counterattacked.
“You are great, Liu Shan,” Hao Fenhua said as he threw and repelled the attack.
Dak dak!
The punches and kicks of the two of them that landed in harmony also made the two of them fall backwards.
“Almost, but ..”
From Hao Fenhua's words, he moved his index finger like he was pulling something.
Sreth!
A scratch appeared on Liu Shan's cheek. The skin opened with blood dripping down on the chin slowly. Although small, but this shows a change in flow and excitement for the audience.
Whaaa!
Liu Shan wiped the blood off his face.
“Let me say it one more time. I don't want to fight people who hesitate to win.”
Those words were thrown out by Hao Fenhua once again. Liu Shan now sharpened his eyes for the first time to him.
“What do you mean?”
“As you heard.”
Wush!
A quick movement was followed by a swinging punch right in front of the eyes. Liu Shan dodged very thinly before launching a counterattack.
Dak dak dak!
“Judges of the earth!”
Ki's energy surge that he threw forward could be held back Hao Fenhua using his arm. His eyes opened a little wider to see this.
“(Di hold?)”
“I'm sure you didn't think it was, did you?!” suhut Hao Fenhua as he darted back forward.
Each attack he deployed now gave one step closer in changing the course of the fight. Liu Shan was getting more and more fooled and made a mistake in his movements. More and more gaps for Hao Fenhua.
Taps!
Both of his palms were fused together and drained Ki's energy.
“Discharge Ki: Wind knot dance!”
A Ki energy that he channeled out shook the air. And slowly, the surrounding air turned into a streak of slashes that came eyeing Liu Shan.
The srat sat!
“Ugh!”
“(Dia ... controlling the wind?!)”
