Chapter 270 Power Penetrating the Eight Extremes
"Tianqiang! Advance through the gun!"
Huang Yuanbo shouted loudly towards the ring.
Huang Yuanbai knew Lin Fan's intention—to use him to remind Sun Tianqiang—but he didn't understand why Lin Fan didn't remind him himself.
The sound reached the arena, and Sun Tianqiang suddenly realized what it meant.
At the same time, Di Xiaoyun's heart skipped a beat, and she increased the speed of her thrusting spear.
Di Xiaoyun scoffed, "You're such a child, needing reminders from below even during a martial arts match."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Sun Tianqiang blocked the attack while tentatively extending his left hand.
Once he had a firm grip on the knife handle, Sun Tianqiang lunged forward, the blade slicing through the gun handle as he charged toward Di Xiaoyun.
thorny and sharp—
The blade was about to touch Di Xiaoyun.
At the critical moment, Di Xiaoyun made a decision, abandoned her gun and retreated, thus escaping disaster.
What goes around comes around, and on the fighting stage, there's no distinction between men and women.
After gaining the upper hand, Sun Tianqiang pressed his advantage, applying pressure relentlessly and forcing Di Xiaoyun to keep dodging and retreating.
Seeing that Sun Tianqiang had gained the upper hand, Park In-meng was thrilled: "Good! That's Tianqiang for you, take him down in one fell swoop!"
Zhuang Chunrou was so angry that her teeth itched, and she roared at Park In-min:
"Can you shut up! You're halfway to the grave and you're still acting so rudely!"
"I can't be bothered with you!" Park In-min rolled his eyes at Zhuang Chunrou and continued shouting towards the arena:
"Tianqiang! Finish her off with the Hidden Knife Style!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Tianqiang, holding the knife in his right hand, drew an arc from the left side of his body to the top of his head, and then drew an arc from the top of his head to the right side, stopping under his armpit.
In Di Xiaoyun's sight, the enormous nine-ringed sword disappeared.
Park In-meng, standing in the stands, laughed wildly, as if victory was assured: "The essence of the sword lies not in killing, but in concealment! Concealing clumsiness with skill, using obscurity to reveal the truth!"
"kill!"
Suddenly, Sun Tianqiang roared and charged at Di Xiaoyun with his knife.
Di Xiaoyun panicked instantly. She was unarmed and her opponent was a martial artist of the same strength as her, so her chances of winning were slim.
Seeing Sun Tianqiang charging towards her, Di Xiaoyun had no choice but to keep retreating.
After a few steps, Di Xiaoyun had nowhere left to retreat; the edge of the arena was right behind her.
The entire venue was completely silent, and all the spectators held their breath as they watched Di Xiaoyun on the stage.
Park In-meng stopped shouting and offering advice, and just stared wide-eyed as he waited for Sun Tianqiang to defeat the enemy.
"call--"
Di Xiaoyun let out a long sigh of relief, a few drops of sweat appearing on her forehead.
She then made a semi-circle with her right leg and assumed a horse stance.
"Tai Chi brings peace to the world, Bajiquan stabilizes the universe—is that Bajiquan?"
Below the stage, Lin Fan squinted his eyes and muttered something.
Huang Yuanbai, who was standing next to him, asked in confusion, "Brother Fan, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Lin Fan silently closed his eyes again.
Huang Yuanbai smiled and pointed to the arena, saying, "Now Tianqiang can win another point for our Huayun Sect!"
"It's hard to say," Lin Fan shook his head.
"But the outcome is already decided, isn't it?" Huang Yuanbo asked, puzzled.
Just then, the host suddenly shouted excitedly, "Sun Tianqiang was knocked flying! No, he was hurled flying!"
Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar of cheers erupted from the audience.
"What's going on?" Huang Yuanbai looked at the arena again.
Sun Tianqiang was still flying in the air when he suddenly fell to the ground with a thud, and his nine-ringed sword was thrown several meters away.
Looking at Di Xiaoyun again, her stance was steady, her arms were bent, and her elbows were pointing directly in the direction where Sun Tianqiang had fallen.
"Eight Extremes Top Heart Elbow," Di Xiaoyun muttered, panting heavily.
Zhuang Chunrou shouted excitedly from the stands, "Xiaoyun, don't underestimate your opponent! Press the attack!"
Tread-tap-
Di Xiaoyun quickly stepped forward to Sun Tianqiang's side and used a grappling move to render the already half-conscious Sun Tianqiang unable to move.
"10, 9, 8..."
"The victor is Di Xiaoyun!"
The scoreboard on the big screen changed again, and the number below the Tianlan Sect column also changed to 1.
At this point, Huayun Sect and Tianlan Sect each gained one point.
Sun Tianqiang returned to the Huayun Sect waiting area, clutching his head, looking somewhat embarrassed: "Sorry everyone, I've been eliminated."
The Hua Yun Sect members looked embarrassed, and after a long while, someone finally spoke up to offer some advice:
"It's alright, Tianqiang, we still have a chance..."
"That's right, there are still 8 people who haven't played yet, and the rest of us will definitely give it our all."
Sun Tianqiang bowed deeply: "I'm sorry everyone, it's because I'm not good enough."
After saying that, he left with regret, and could only watch the game from the stands from now on.
"This is going to be difficult," Lin Fan muttered.
The sect competition in Shancheng City uses a points system. If too many people are eliminated in the first round of the knockout stage, the team will also have insufficient points in subsequent rounds due to the disadvantage in the number of players.
Next, three more Huayun Sect disciples drew Renwang Sect, a game they were destined to lose.
Lin Fan could predict that after one round, only 6 people from Huayun Sect would remain, and they would receive 6 points.
Tianlan Sect was lucky; only one person drew a Renwang Sect expert, but two others drew Chiyan Sect experts. The situation is still uncertain; even if both lose, they will still have at least 7 points.
Four members of the Crimson Flame Sect were drawn from the Benevolent King Sect. Based on the strength observed by the Heavenly Eye, the four members of the Crimson Flame Sect were destined to lose.
Assuming the two from Tianlan Sect defeat the two from Chiyan Sect, Chiyan Sect will only have 4 points, trailing Huayun Sect.
Assuming the two from the Crimson Flame Sect defeat the two from the Heavenly Blue Sect, the Crimson Flame Sect will gain another 6 points, tying with the Huayun Sect.
In any case, given Huayun Sect's current situation, they can only be tied for last place or second to last after the first round.
There were 60 participants in total. After one round, 30 people were eliminated, leaving 30 people.
Twenty of them were cannon fodder from minor sects, adding a lot of luck to the competition.
Lin Fan glanced back at Su Ruowei in the audience and sighed helplessly.
This time, Su Ruowei will probably be disappointed.
Sect competitions are a team game; one person can't carry a bunch of useless teammates.
Su Ruowei saw Lin Fan looking at her.
She smiled and waved at Lin Fan, then clenched her fist in a gesture of encouragement, though she was too shy to shout it out loud.
But Lin Fan understood her lip movements: "Go, honey!"
"Ruowei, I will do my best!"
Lin Fan shouted in response, ignoring everyone around him.
Su Ruowei shyly turned her head away, but after a while she looked at Lin Fan again and whispered, "Good luck!"
"Huang Yuanbai, what are the rules after this?"
With Su Ruowei's encouragement, Lin Fan became serious, and his previous indifference to the sect competition vanished.
Huang Yuanbai responded earnestly, "That's right. In the second round, the opponent will still be determined by drawing lots. The loser will still be directly eliminated, and the winner can add 2 points to the sect."
"Only 15 people remain in the third round. One person will be lucky enough to draw lots and directly enter the fourth round. The remaining 14 people will then compete, and the rules will be the same as the first two rounds."
"As the rounds increase, the points awarded to the sect by the winner also increase, until the last person is determined."
"The last person is the individual champion, and the sect with the highest sect points is the sect champion."
"At the same time, the top 10 individuals in the standings will form a new team to represent Shancheng City in the city competition."
Huang Yuanbai smiled and said, "If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me anytime."
