Chapter 343 A Cruel Principle
Fragments of light began to merge outside the arena as I was sent back to my original spot. Wan Er, Dong Cheng and Song Han all looked at me as their eyes filled with complex emotions.
Wan Er clenched her fists as her eyes filled with frustration, “What a pity, just a little 0.14 seconds more. Otherwise you would’ve killed Fang Ge Que first, it’s really a pity…..”
Song Han said, “Yeah, you just narrowly missed the chance to get into the finals just like that…..”
I sheathed my Emperor Qin’s Sword behind me and lazily leaned against the pillar as I faintly smiled, “It’s no problem. The fact that I made it into the Top 4 is already enough for me. Besides, my opponent was Fang Ge Que, CBN’s Number 1. I lost fair and square. He was definitely very strong. To think that he could instantly kill me with a chain of skills. Sigh…..The biggest problem was that all of my control type skills were restricted by the tournament… or else my lunch wouldn’t have been stolen by someone else so easily. For someone as handsome as me, they must be the main character…..”
General Li Mu laughed out and said, “That’s enough Guild Master….. if this tournament allowed you to use the Mohist Five Scrolls, I’m afraid no one would be able to contend with you. However, I did hear that Q-Sword and Fang Ge Que had some large scale area of effect skills that were also restricted. And thus, the strength of everyone from this Rise of the Heroes Tournament was only the tip of the iceberg. You’ll have to wait for a guild war to actually experience their true strength.”
Dong Cheng said, “Actually…. I feel like Xiao Yao should’ve won…..”
“Why’s that?” Wan Er asked.
Dong Cheng fluttered her eyes as she smiled, “It’s really simple. How long has it been since Xiao Yao Zi Zai made his debut? Before, he was just an obscure little bastard. However, now, he made his way into the entire country’s top four and fought evenly against Fang Ge Que. He even won a round and technically killed him twice! Keke, isn’t that enough to prove something?”
Not far away, Mu Xuan waved her staff and also smiled, “Cang Yue is right. Even if Fang Ge Que wins this tournament, he has already lost his stable position at the top. From now on, everyone will remember that Fang Ge Que was killed by Little Zai Zai twice in the Rise of the Heroes tournament, even if he won in the end.”
I pursed my lips and said, “Whatever. What’s the point of saying stuff like that? The next round is about to start. Wan Er, you should prepare yourself…..”
Wan Er faintly smiled and pointed, “0.14 seconds. From now on you have to work hard after this and shorten that 0.14 seconds so that not even Fang Ge Que could rival you.”
“Alright. Your next opponent is the dark horse, The Seventh Tang. Be careful.”
“Yup!”
……
“Shua Shua!”
Two rays of light flashed as Wan Er and The Seventh Tang were sent into the arena together. Wan Er symbolized the look of a top tier female Assassin; From all her equipment, the worst was probably a Purple Tier. She lightly waved her hand and summoned her Tiger Beastman. The Seventh Tang carried his iron fan as usual. The fan was surrounded with flickering flames, it was probably some type of fire type weapon. That was probably what allowed his [Triassic Flames] spell to be so powerful.
Looking at the beautiful female Assassin on the other side, The Seventh Tang’s eyes grew hot. He suddenly closed his fan and stood straight as an arrow, then bowed and said, “Lin Wan Er…I know it’s you. Your ID is Cang Tong. I’ve been looking for you for so long. Even when I added you as my friend you rejected me. But I will never give up. I will definitely find you!”
Wan Er was surprised, “Who are you? I don’t know you.”
The Seventh Tang faintly smiled, “Do you still remember the concert in 2014? That day, I saw you and from then on I knew, I knew that you were the one. And so…. all those years, I’ve been searching for you, my one true love……”
“So it was like that……”
Wan Er was a little helpless. She played with her dagger and said, “Thank you for your support, but I already have someone I like. I don’t need you to pursue me……”
The Seventh Tang jolted, “You have someone you like? Who is it? Is it that…..that Xiao Yao Zi Zai?!”
Wan Er grinned without answering and said, “What about it? Are you going to duel against him? That’s no problem. Once I wash you out, you’ll end up fighting with him over the third place anyway. Yup, and good luck, that bastard’s pretty strong….”
The Seventh Tang bit down, “Ok. I definitely won’t let you down!”
…
Outside of the arena.
Dong Cheng’s jaw dropped, “Wu…. this Seventh Tang is Wan Er’s fan? Brother Xiao Yao, your rival has appeared. He’s also one of the country’s top 4 experts and on top of that, he’s infatuated with Wan Er and pursued his love for 3 years now…..”
I pursed my lips and made a fist, “Yea, I have to get third place!
Qing Qian grinned, “Good luck brother!”
