Chapter 86 1 wins 2
The following matches went surprisingly smoothly.
Having learned from Wang Chongshan's experience, Liang Jiu's opponents mostly acted with composure. As soon as the match began, upon seeing the opposing formation and the few plastic chairs suspended in the air, most of them decisively chose to concede defeat.
There's no need to waste our trump cards in a game where we have no chance of winning, especially since no one has figured out how these chairs work yet.
Liang Jiu was happy to have some free time and turned his attention to another arena.
Chen Xueqi vs. Su Cheng.
The favorites to win the championship met early.
This match is far more significant than any previous one.
Chen Xueqi had meticulously prepared the icy environment of the arena. Her long-hidden main combatant finally revealed his true identity on the broadcast screen.
Snow cape.
It is a strange creature that resembles a giant white manta ray and is commonly known as a snow ghost.
They roam in flocks through the snowstorm, not only able to use invisibility to blend perfectly into their environment, but also capable of launching magical missiles. Even more troublesome, their wings are tipped with poisonous barbs; a scratch will cause complete numbness.
Chen Xueqi continued to use the environment to launch defensive counterattacks.
But Su Cheng's dire wolf pack displayed astonishing resilience. In such an environment intertwined with low temperatures and assassination attempts, the wolves' activity remained undiminished. Braving the wind and snow, relying on their keen sense of smell and extraordinary physical abilities, they launched fierce ambushes and counterattacks across the icy plains, accompanied by snow-covered cloaks.
The local battles have surprisingly become a stalemate, ending in a draw.
The opportunity to break the deadlock came midway through the game.
Chen Xueqi seized the opportunity and commanded several Snow Cloaks to launch a surprise attack and sneak into Su Cheng's divine domain base camp.
When the broadcast camera cut to that scene, everyone in the stands was stunned.
It was a chaotic and illogical landscape. Volcanoes, swamps, rainforests, deserts... all sorts of distinct environments were forcibly stitched together on one piece of land like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.
To hone the adaptability of his followers, Su Cheng transformed his base camp into a Gu-refining ground. No wonder the dire wolves could maintain such high activity levels on the snowfield.
With the battle between the kinship factions proving too close, the focus of victory naturally shifted to the battle between the gods.
Chen Xueqi's snowy environment itself possesses extraordinary power; the ceaseless wind and snow conserve her divine power and even enhance its effectiveness, serving a similar purpose to divine power-assisting artifacts.
Dan Su Cheng's deification and reciprocation became even more tyrannical.
The two clashed above the clouds, with Su Cheng relying on his superior strength to forcefully crush the ice and snow barrier.
Chen Xueqi was defeated.
"I never expected Chen Xueqi to lose like this."
Pan Xiaopang came over at some point, looking at the name that had gone dark on the screen and sighing, "If only she could have held on a little longer, maybe there would have been a chance."
Liang Jiu turned his head away.
"Didn't you go into the Divine Realm to rest? Why are you out again?"
Pan Xiaopang chuckled.
"It's still worth watching high-level matches."
Liang Jiu withdrew his gaze and looked back at Su Cheng's battle frame.
"Su Cheng was completely at ease throughout. I reckon she'll still lose no matter how long she holds on."
"That's true." Pan Xiaopang clicked his tongue. "Su Cheng's second-level relatives haven't shown up yet."
"If he doesn't use it, just pretend it doesn't exist," Liang Jiu said.
"You can't underestimate him. Although you are also exceptionally talented, he is the strongest opponent you will face next."
"Overestimating your opponent's strength will only put you on the defensive. Pan Xiaopang, do you really think Su Cheng can bring out his second-level familiars?"
"How so?"
Liang remained silent for a long time. He saw Su Cheng, who had ended the battle of gods, turn his gaze toward him.
There's anticipation, but also a sense of uncertainty.
"【Hundred Battles】, killing enemies to replenish oneself—it's not talent that chooses people, but rather people like you who choose talent?"
Liang Jiu smiled bitterly and muttered to himself.
There are still several battles to go before he and Su Cheng collide.
The scene beside the flower bed in the office building flashed through Liang Jiu's mind. Su Cheng was on all fours, with the body of a wolf and the head of a dragon. The two completely different beastly characteristics were tearing and repelling each other in the process of divine influencing.
Forcibly inserting a second-level subordinate into the divine realm and establishing a connection with them would obviously come at a price that a student could not comfortably bear.
Su's current stability is more like walking a tightrope.
The matchup list on the broadcast screen started scrolling again.
The elimination rounds progressed faster than anyone anticipated. The students who made it to the top eight had already laid their cards on the table. At this stage, fancy tactics were no longer effective; the strength of their divine domain and the quality of their followers became the sole determining factors.
Half an hour later, Su Cheng faced off in the semi-finals, where four teams advanced to the next two.
His opponent was none other than Sun Lang, an old acquaintance of Liang Jiu.
The outside world initially thought this would be a hard-fought battle with evenly matched forces. The Dragonblood Kobolds possessed the formidable physique of a dragon subspecies, and under Sun Lang's command, they started by setting up numerous traps using the terrain of the Divine Realm, then adopted a defensive posture, aiming to wear down their opponents.
But Su Cheng didn't give him a chance to delay.
Instead of launching a probing attack, the wolf pack dispersed in a fan shape.
Su Cheng stood on a cloud, and under his divine power, gray-black runes rained down on the kobolds' territory. Immediately afterward, the already enormous dire wolves underwent a transformation under the runes' enhancement. Their back plates flipped outward, their bodies swelled a full circle, completely ignoring the magical traps, and braving the explosions and flames, they directly swept through Sun Lang's defenses.
From the moment they entered the Divine Realm to the end of the battle, it took less than ten minutes.
The audience erupted in uproar
