The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 123 - 122: The Situation is Clear

Chapter 123: Chapter 122: The Situation is Clear

A highly chaotic battle thus commenced.

Each side had ten people, with almost no coordination to speak of; it was entirely a fight based on individual ability!

Xu Meng’s team was generally weaker than Huang Nian’s team.

After the selection was completed, from the strength displayed, Huang Nian’s team was second only to Yang Jinchun’s, with each member being very strong.

By comparison, Xu Meng’s team was just slightly stronger than Zhang Dahai’s team.

After a messy battle, Huang Nian’s team emerged victorious.

"This contest was fiercely fought!"

Many disciples around exclaimed.

Because the combat was chaotic, it looked very straightforward, chaotic yet fierce.

For the spectators, it was a visual feast.

But the disciples with higher cultivation levels didn’t feel much; Instead, they were thinking about the previous confrontation.

In the previous confrontation, Ye Xuan’s team demonstrated excellent coordination and execution, with the ten people acting as one complete unit.

As Huang Nian won, Yu Wenlei on the high platform revealed a smile.

Meanwhile, Wind and Thunder Hand, Nie Shan, appeared slightly somber.

Xu Meng and Zhang Dahai were both his disciples, and they had both lost their first battles.

However, this one was still somewhat acceptable, after all, Huang Nian’s team was stronger than that of Xu Meng.

The most unacceptable for Nie Shan was still Zhang Dahai’s first contest against Ye Xuan.

In this bout, everyone believed that Ye Xuan’s combat would definitely be victorious.

In their estimates, they naturally counted Ye Xuan’s battle as a win.

"For the third round, Wen Lin versus Liu Tianhao."

As everyone contemplated, Wu Jingshan stood up and announced the third contest.

This time, it was Wen Lin versus Liu Tianhao.

"Junior brother, crush this guy!" Huang Nian whispered to Wen Lin, who was beside him.

The gap in strength between the teams of Huang Nian, Wen Lin, and Liu Tianhao was the smallest.

This contest, Wen Lin also had a fifty percent chance of claiming victory!

"Don’t worry, senior brother." Wen Lin seemed very confident, smiling slightly.

The ten people behind Wen Lin stepped forward and entered the battlefield.

The ten people behind Liu Tianhao also entered the battlefield.

"This time, I am destined to win." Liu Tianhao said calmly, glancing at Huang Nian, then looking toward Wen Lin.

Wen Lin said nothing.

Huang Nian laughed and said, "Liu Tianhao, you think you can defeat Junior Wen Lin? Dream on."

Huang Nian had great confidence in Wen Lin.

"Begin!" Seeing that both teams were ready, Wu Jingshan announced.

Whir————

As Wu Jingshan’s words fell, all twenty contestants instantly activated the Divine Gate.

Upon activating the Divine Gate, they quickly made their moves.

It was evident that both sides had learned from the first two bouts and made adjustments!

This time, it was a real contest of evenly matched opponents; their strengths were so closely matched that they entered the battle and instantly fell into an intense state.

"These two teams are very strong. Compared to the warm-up battles earlier, they seem much stronger."

Behind Ye Xuan, Zhu Xiaofei spoke softly.

"Indeed, they’ve also gotten much stronger." Xiao Zhan nodded.

"Focus now, and when we face them later, be sure to pay attention," Tan Qingshan said.

"Mhm."

Everyone nodded.

Yet, Ye Xuan sat there, yawning, looking uninterested.

He was really not interested in these battles.

Very boring indeed.

"Don’t worry about these guys; just focus on recovering to your best state," Ye Xuan told Tan Qingshan and others.

"But..." Xiao Zhan was hesitant.

"No buts, just listen to me," Ye Xuan interrupted Xiao Zhan’s words with a wave of his hand.

He knew what they were thinking, which was merely to familiarize themselves with the combat styles of these two teams.

However, none of that was necessary.

Because during his training in Qi Bamboo Forest for Tan Qingshan and others, he merged the combat methods of the six teams and elevated their power several times.

Instead of watching these people fight, it would be better to keep oneself in peak condition, and go all out when it’s their turn.

Hearing Ye Xuan, Tan Qingshan and the others said nothing and chose to follow his advice.

During their training in Qi Bamboo Forest, they faced several life-threatening crises and survived them all by following Ye Xuan’s guidance.

Thus, they absolutely followed Ye Xuan’s words!

"This guy, what exactly has he been doing lately..."

At this moment, Yang Jinchun was not focusing on the battlefield but kept his attention on Ye Xuan.

The sudden surge in Ye Xuan’s team strength brought him a touch of crisis.

In his heart, he had elevated Ye Xuan’s threat level to the highest, even higher than Huang Nian.

What others thought, he didn’t know, but he felt that in the first battle, Ye Xuan’s team had not given their all!

Without giving their all, yet being able to sweep Zhang Dahai’s team off their feet, this was definitely not ordinary.

Bang————

Just then, a sudden change occurred on the field.

Someone was blasted out of the battlefield!

Everyone looked over and was shocked.

It was someone from Wen Lin’s team!

Someone from Wen Lin’s team was the first to be eliminated!

This had a huge impact on the situation on the field.

The sides that were evenly matched began to tilt significantly at this moment.

Wen Lin’s side completely fell into disadvantage.

"What’s going on?"

This sudden change made Huang Nian’s expression change as he looked towards Wen Lin.

Wen Lin also raised his eyebrows slightly, remaining silent.

"Could this disciple have been bought over by Liu Tianhao?!" Huang Nian’s expression turned ugly.

Wen Lin slightly shook his head and said, "Not sure."

The expressions of Yu Wenlei and Nie Shan above the high platform also changed.

Yu Wenlei frowned deeply, while Nie Shan showed a faint smile.

With one less person on Wen Lin’s side, the situation became clear.

Soon, Liu Tianhao’s team played steadily and took the remaining opponents down.

"This battle, Liu Tianhao’s team wins." Wu Jingshan announced.

With this, three matches had concluded, leaving only Yang Jinchun’s team yet to compete.

Ye Xuan, Huang Nian, and Liu Tianhao each had one victory.

Zhang Dahai, Xu Meng, and Wen Lin each had one defeat.

"The fourth match will be Yang Jinchun’s team against Zhang Dahai’s team."

Lu Chengde stood up and announced the fourth match.

"Damn it!" Zhang Dahai turned green when he heard the announcement.

Why him again!

He had hoped to win this round, but unexpectedly, he had to face the toughest, Yang Jinchun.

"Forget it, I forfeit." Zhang Dahai said outright.

There was simply no chance of winning; better to conserve strength.

"Yang Jinchun’s team wins." Lu Chengde announced.

"Zhang Dahai is really too weak, he couldn’t beat Ye Xuan’s team, and now he’s forfeiting against Yang Jinchun’s team!"

This immediately caused a wave of discussion among the surrounding disciples.

Zhang Dahai’s performance truly disappointed everyone.

"You guys know nothing, this is called being wisely protective." Zhang Dahai didn’t feel ashamed at all, instead retorting like this.

Regardless, he couldn’t have won, so it was better to forfeit, saving both time and strength.

"Weakling." Huang Nian scoffed disdainfully.

Having just been frustrated by Wen Lin’s loss to Liu Tianhao, he naturally found an outlet when he saw Zhang Dahai forfeiting.

"Don’t worry, save it for when you fight me." Zhang Dahai grinned.

"Then you better have your people ready to pick up their teeth." Huang Nian laughed.

"You should worry about your own people instead." At this point, Liu Tianhao spoke indifferently.

Among them, tensions ran high like fire and water.

"The fifth match, Huang Nian’s team against Xu Meng’s team."

As they were arguing, the fifth match was announced.

"Brother, smash him!" Zhang Dahai, as if injected with an energizing drug, said to Xu Meng.

Xu Meng’s eye twitched slightly, he coldly spoke, "Huang Nian, come on!"

"Heh heh." Huang Nian grinned smugly.

The two teams went on stage and the battle began.

Unsurprisingly, Huang Nian won.

The battle continued.

There were a total of seven teams, each team performing in six matches, making a total of forty-two matches.

This tournament, unlike the warm-up battles, did not provide ample rest time, finishing within one day.

As time passed, the situation became increasingly clear.

Liu Tianhao had three victories and no losses, Huang Nian had two victories and no losses, Yang Jinchun had two victories and no losses, Wen Lin had one victory and one loss, Ye Xuan had one victory and no loss, Xu Meng had one victory and three losses, Zhang Dahai had zero victories and six losses.

Nobody expected Zhang Dahai to end up with a staggering six consecutive losses...
