Towards Eternity
Ch 463's. Preparation Before the Beginning of the Second Stage
Weng Wan's defeat marked the end of the first stage of the semi-finals.
Now 10 people who qualify in the first stage will duel and leave 5 participants who will fight in the final round later.
The ten people who managed to escape in the first stage were Man Yue, Weng Baohu Zhe, Yang Guang, Weng Lou, Weng Ying Luan, Lin Mei, Weng Ning, Weng Hua, Shan Hu, and also Ying She.
Since Ying She had just finished fighting, and she had also sustained some injuries in her fight against Weng Wan, Zu Zhang had given all of them some time off.
He also had some urgent interests that he had to discuss with Yi Chen and Hao Lang who were on the roof of the arena.
Zu Zhang left them in the arena, while the spectators chose to rest in their seats while conversing with each other.
In the arena, precisely at the place of Weng Lou's group. They all sat down together and discussed with each other the second stage of the semi-final which was about to begin.
"Okay, I'll start our discussion this time. I want to say, if any of you choose to surrender in a fight, then I will beat him up!" Weng Hua spoke in a tone of annoyance. Looks like veins appeared on his forehead.
Weng Lou and the others simply smiled bitterly. They also did not expect Jian Qiang to give up in the middle of a fight.
They thought, when Jian Qiang decided to fight with Weng Hua before, he would fight to the end, but in fact not at all.
The one thing Weng Hua disliked the most since the past was being underestimated by others. An opponent who succumbs to him is one form of 'underrated' according to him. Therefore he was currently eager to tear Jian Qiang apart using both of his daggers, but unfortunately Jian Qiang was immediately transferred by Zu Zhang to another place before he could do so.
"Ehm. Now we're going to discuss a much more important issue than that, so listen to me" said Weng Lou, who signaled they were all focusing their hearing on him.
Man Yue, Weng Ying Luan, Lin Mei, Weng Ning, Weng Hua, and also Shan Hu. They were all members of the same group, but unexpectedly almost the entirety of their group members managed to qualify for the second stage of the semifinal round. Even the number of members of their group reached more than half the number of participants who escaped.
This made many spectators start to wonder if this could really happen in this Free Martial Tournament.
The other participants on the other hand did not heed the words of the spectators because they themselves had already felt how powerful they were all during the second selection round yesterday.
Actually one of the goals of the second selection round is this, to prevent the occurrence of suspicion that will lead to a commotion among tournament participants.
"Listen, I want you guys to do something in the second stage later-"
"We are enemies in the tournament, why should we do what you want?"
Not done yet Weng Lou spoke, Lin Mei had already cut first. Weng Lou could only sigh and patiently speak back.
"At least listen to it, okay?"
"All right."
"certain."
"Well, now listen carefully. You all have seen for yourself the strength of that participant named Ying She, right? I want to hear first what you think of him?" weng Lou asked them all.
Weng Ying Luan and the others looked at each other before then answering Weng Lou's question.
"One word from me, 'crazy'. I had only seen Weng Wan get beaten up like that since she managed to ascend to the Soul Cleansing realm a few months ago.
Even when he was beaten to pieces by the older disciples in the Weng Ancestral Family, he never ended up as bad as before." Weng Hua opened his voice first.
"Yes, Hua's right. I have only been close to Wan for a few months, but I know how much her physical strength is. I've seen him get hit by an elder who was three stories away from him, and Wan was only blessed with a bruise" Weng Ning said.
"It was because the elemental Qi of his, the overwhelming power he possessed that was, was a fusion of the elemental Qi of metal and fire. As we know, in terms of physical attacks, the metallic element is the strongest, and in terms of the extent of the damage, fire is the most terrifying.
Instead, both elements of this element were possessed by Ying She, who was physically and elementally assaulted, she was invincible. Even Hua's water and wind element would not dwell against her Qi. Maybe it will be able to put out his fire but not with the metal.
I think any of us who will fight against him, should use weapons only. I don't want to say that we will all lose against him without weapons, but in anticipation of a situation like Weng Wan, this must be done" explained Weng Ying Luan.
There was silence between them for a while after the explanation from Weng Ying Luan.
"If you can be honest, I think the one who is able to fight against him in balance is just me and Luan. Not condescending to you, but in terms of fighting experience, we both have a chance to defeat him." Weng Lou suddenly connected the words of Weng Ying Luan earlier.
No one seemed to be offended at all by Weng Lou's words. They all knew how strong they were and how strong Weng Lou and Weng Ying Luan were. So far the two have not fought with their full strength, choosing not to refute or justify the words of Weng Lou.
"What about your opinion, Mei? About the power that Ying She possessed."
"I'll burn him"
"Okay enough, don't go on. All right, let's go on to the second man, Yang Guang."
"Wait first! I haven't commented!!" Lin Mei exclaimed furiously and pointed at Weng Lou's face.
"I already know what you want to say. It's obvious that it's not a comment, it's just a swear word and an insult from you."
Lin Mei choked on her own breath and immediately shut her mouth hearing Weng Lou's guess, she was very precise.
"Relope ...." Weng Lou took his breath.
"The second person I want to discuss is Yang Guang. As you saw in the fight, Zu Zhang as the referee and in charge of the entire Arena Building had to stop the match because Yang Guang intended to attack.
After that, he was declared the winner, and his opponent accepted it without any protest. This means that Yang Guang should have a very strong power to make his opponent's guts become shrunken very quickly" explained Weng Lou.
