"Lord City Lord, is this boy really that powerful?"
"Choice of the champion? You have to have an overwhelming advantage. I think these geniuses have a lot of qualifications and they won't lose to him."
“I didn’t expect that the Lord of the City would speak so highly of this son!”
Xie Wushang waved his hand: "Does any of you know the specific information about this child?"
A staff member made some inquiries and said: "This man entered the City of Sin not long ago. During this period, he had several minor conflicts with the city guards. By the way, he also did a few good deeds and performed a few good deeds."
"A good deed?" Everyone was stunned.
In the City of Sin, people only love to do evil, and doing good is really rare. Otherwise, it cannot be called the City of Sin.
"Yes, not long after he entered the City of Sin, he rescued a middle-aged monk who was poisoned and on the verge of death."
"Later, there was a conflict with the city guards. After resolving the conflict, he successfully treated the wife of a commander of the city guards."
This news was originally not important information to the senior officials of the City Lord's Mansion, so no one paid much attention to it earlier.
However, as Jiang Chen's performance in the trials became better and better, this information was constantly being unearthed, and everyone's curiosity was also constantly unearthed.
Even Xie Wushang was a little curious.
"Which commander is the city guard?"
"The commander of the Third Army and the Eleventh Team is named Yong Peng."
"What is the specific situation? Is there any accurate information in the intelligence?" Xie Wushang's interest was obviously aroused.
The intelligence capabilities of the City Lord's Mansion are incredible. Since this matter has been investigated, there are naturally detailed details.
Soon, the aide told the specific details of the intelligence, and added: "This Yong Peng's wife is suffering from a strange disease, and many Dan Emperors have been invited to diagnose and treat his wife. However,
, no one can find out the cause of his wife’s illness. I don’t know why Yong Peng invited a strange young man for diagnosis and treatment, but he got it wrong!”
Xie Wushang was speechless for a long time: "This young man is not simple."
"Yes, in that situation, no normal person would have thought that his wife's illness was actually related to his cultivation. It's no wonder that most Alchemy Emperors can't diagnose it."
"So, this young boy is really a good prospect."
"Lord City Lord, have we really found a treasure in this selection?"
Xie Wushang smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that this selection is at the request of the Chief Protector. The selected geniuses are nominally enshrined in the City Lord's Mansion, but in fact, they will eventually be handed over to the Chief Protector for arrangements.
"
Hearing what Xie Wushang said, everyone's eyes showed envy.
"City Lord, let's put it this way, aren't these selected people the lucky ones? Does the Chief Guard want to grant them freedom?"
"There must be a reason why the Chief Shou attaches so much importance to it. Perhaps, there is really a great opportunity waiting for these lucky guys!"
For the people of Dongyan Island, no matter how high your cultivation level is, basically, their first dream in life is nothing else but freedom.
They are completely different from the people outside. They are born without freedom, so restoring freedom is the obsession of everyone on Dongyan Island.
These staff members, in terms of status and cultivation, are much better than the geniuses participating in the competition.
However, when they heard that these lucky contestants might be granted freedom by the Chief Superintendent, they still felt a little jealous.
Xie Wushang said calmly: "It's hard for us to guess the intentions of Mr. General Shou. If they are really given freedom, they must pay a corresponding price. Freedom is not something that falls in the sky. You don't have to either.
Too envious."
The staff thought about it carefully and felt that this was the truth.
Lord Chief Shou has been in control of Dongyan Island for so many years. When did he grant freedom to anyone for no reason? There is no free lunch in the world.
If you want freedom, opportunity is important, but your own strength and luck are also important.
If you don't have that strength, even if you encounter an opportunity, you won't be able to seize it.
…
The knockout rounds continue in full swing.
As the knockout rounds progressed, the battle situation became obviously much more intense. Previously, sixty-four people were fighting against each other, but the battle situation was just that.
Now we are in the top 32, competing for the 16-man roster.
The scene of this battle was obviously much crazier. Even though Jiang Chen had won relatively easily before, in most arena battles, the two were equally powerful. The battles were very brutal, and there were not many overwhelming advantages.
The closer to the end, the smaller the probability of an overwhelming advantage.
Although Jiang Chen watched the battle, his mood did not fluctuate much due to the evolution of the battle situation. At this point, he was able to face it calmly.
"There is still one last round, and the final eight are born. I only need to win one more game to stand out from this elite competition."
When Jiang Chen thought of this, he suddenly moved his eyes slightly, shooting towards a certain part of the hall. His eyes swept over it like a dragonfly speckling water, and then moved away.
Jiang Chen was basically certain that the city lord must be watching their battle from a certain corner.
In the second round of the knockout round, after a fierce duel, all sixteen groups of duels were finally completed.
Sixteen people were eliminated and sixteen winners were decided.
"The two rounds of duels are over. Now, sixteen of you have obtained the final qualifications. Half of you will become the lucky ones in this selection and will receive the title of enshrinement of the City Lord's Mansion. You will enjoy the high-level treatment of the City Lord's Mansion.
."
"There are still two hours of rest time. In two hours, the third round of competition, which is the final, will officially begin!"
The rest time is still two hours, which is very tight.
Especially after two rounds of fighting, many people were very exhausted. In this case, the two-hour rest period became even more urgent.
At this time, all the contestants who had consumed too much would not spare any resources at all, and kept escaping the pills to restore their strength and energy and stuffing them into their mouths.
We have all come this far, and there is only one step left to the final victory.
This is only one step away, no one wants to give up, and everyone wants to be the one with the last laugh.
Jiang Chen is now a relatively relaxed one. This is because he has not spent much energy in two consecutive knockout matches.
Although the second battle was more complicated than the first battle, it actually did not pose much of a test or threat to Jiang Chen.
At this moment, at least half of the other fifteen people were praying in their hearts, praying that they would not encounter Jiang Chen in their last battle.
Obviously, Jiang Chen's performance has psychologically shocked these winners.
Two hours passed quickly.
The person in charge smiled slightly: "Okay, time is running out. Although I also want to give you more rest time, but the rules are like this. I hope you have adjusted your condition!"
"The following is the final round of decisive battles. You know better than anyone else what the winner of this round means. Okay, now let's start re-numbering and draw lots!"
Each round of duel will be renumbered to avoid confusion.
Now, there are only sixteen people left, and only sixteen numbers are enough. This time, Jiang Chen's number is six.
And the opponent he drew was number nine!
"Tsk tsk, it's the two of them who are facing each other, thank God!"
"Haha, now it's a fight between dragon and tiger. It's great. It relieves a lot of the burden on others."
It turns out that the number nine drawn by Jiang Chen was also very strong in the previous two rounds of knockout rounds. In the first round, he instantly killed his opponent, and in the second round, he effortlessly knocked his opponent off the stage.
This man and Jiang Chen are among the three or four most popular candidates.
Now, he and Jiang Chen are together, and the encounter between the two is undoubtedly a relief for others. This kind of confrontation between the two is equivalent to letting everyone lose two of the most terrifying opponents at once. In the end,
For others, it is undoubtedly the greatest good news.
After the man drew Jiang Chen, his cold and arrogant eyes also looked at Jiang Chen several times. Obviously, no matter how proud a person is when he draws an opponent like Jiang Chen, he has to keep his spirits high.
Jiang Chen faced the man's scrutinizing gaze with a calm expression.
He had also noticed this person before. If he remembered correctly, his name was Su Hong. His fighting power was unfathomable.
In the previous two levels, this person did not use all his strength.
Therefore, Jiang Chen didn't know much about this man's fighting style. However, Jiang Chen didn't have much psychological ripples from this.
He doesn't particularly care who his opponent is.
Although Su Hong is unfathomable, it is only to other people. To Jiang Chen, any unfathomable thing is nothing in front of him.
The staff in the City Lord's Mansion also became excited.
"The confrontation between these two people is the ultimate showdown."
"Haha, this little guy named Jiang has met his opponent this time. I have heard that this Su Hong is a young man who has risen rapidly on Dongyan Island in the past twenty years. It is said that Dongyan Island
Among the younger generation, Su Hong is one of the top three. He has a high reputation in the world."
"Indeed, Su Hong's reputation is quite big on Dongyan Island. Everyone is surprised that he is willing to participate in the selection this time!"
"Accidents are nothing unexpected, right? No matter how famous he is, he is still a wandering cultivator. On Dongyan Island, people who have no foundation will eventually find someone to rely on. It is a wise move to seek refuge in the City Lord's Mansion."
"Haha, look at this Su Hong, a battle with this kid Jiang will definitely be very exciting."
"City Lord, look at the fight between these two people, what chance does this boy Jiang have of winning?"
Xie Wushang was not in a hurry to speak. After a long time, he sighed softly: "Su Hong is good, but the city lord has a hunch that he will have no chance of winning."
"What?" Everyone thought their ears were wrong. Su Hong was so strong and his voice was so loud. He was a well-known genius among the younger generation of Dongyan Island.
Will he have no hope at all against this unknown boy Jiang?
The Lord City Lord's judgment left everyone confused and psychologically unable to accept it.
