With Chen Tianqiang admitting defeat, the top four in the final battle for resources came out.
The top four are Liu Hao and Zhong Qiyue in the top half, and Jiang Chenglong and Yang Qinghu in the bottom half.
Jiang Chenglong and Yang Qinghu appeared in the top four list, which can be said to be what most people expected.
Even if Zhong Qiyue enters the semi-finals, it won't be too surprising.
However, Liu Hao entered the semi-finals, which is a bit incredible.
However, Liu Hao is still the only one who has not really shown his strength so far.
This makes many people feel a little incredible.
All I can say is that this dark horse is indeed very good.
"You have half an hour to rest."
At this time, the judge's voice came over the ring, "In half an hour, the top four battle will begin."
…
"Brother Hao, I really didn't expect you to be so strong!"
Under the arena.
On the Fire Spirit Sect side.
When Liu Hao returned to the Huoling Sect's territory, Wang Zhongyun said with a smile.
"Yes, senior brother Liu Hao, you are really amazing."
"Senior Brother Liu Hao, you are so powerful. Under such circumstances, you were able to kill Wei Tianqi."
"After this battle, our Huo Ling Sect has become famous."
"Ha ha……"
At this time, the fellow disciples from the Fire Spirit Sect also ran over and began to congratulate Liu Hao.
At the same time, he also began to take the initiative to show his kindness to Liu Hao.
He even called his senior brother directly.
Faced with such a situation, Liu Hao didn't care too much.
He just smiled at everyone, and then nodded slightly.
Didn't say much.
When the disciples of the same sect saw this scene, they didn't say anything more.
Only Wang Zhongyun came to Liu Hao at this time and said, "Brother Hao, although you are very powerful, Zhong Qiyue is also very powerful!"
"The strength he showed just now has reached the realm of Yuan Sheng."
"Wu Tianshu didn't cause him any harm, so he just gave up."
"So, the next battle may also be a fierce battle."
"How's it going? Are you sure?"
Liu Hao smiled.
Then he said, "Actually, my goal has always been to be number one."
"..."
When Wang Zhongyun heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
He never expected that Liu Hao was aiming for first place from the beginning.
If that was the case, wouldn't it be within his expectation to reach this point?
In other words, his true strength may be much stronger than what he shows now?
Even Zhong Qiyue is not his opponent?
Thinking of this, Wang Zhongyun suddenly thought of the bet again.
Is this a bet you made because you felt you were sure of winning?
This guy...is a little too scary, right?
…
On top of the mountain.
On the Fire Spirit Sect side.
After the final result of the battle between the top four of Sect Leader Lingxuan came out.
He immediately contacted the judge below and said, "Tell Liu Hao that you can admit defeat directly in the next battle."
"We have already entered the semi-finals, there is no need to fight anymore."
"Then Zhong Qiyue already has the level of Yuansheng Realm, so there is no need to take risks anymore."
Entering the semi-finals is equivalent to winning a bet.
There is no need to fight anymore.
Furthermore, Zhong Qiyue is very strong.
He possesses the strength of the Yuansheng realm.
It would be difficult for Liu Hao to win against Zhong Qiyue like this.
After all, Liu Hao is only at the Yuanhuang realm.
"Sect Master, he said he knew it well."
A moment later, Lingxuan received a reply from the judge.
Hearing this reply, Lingxuan frowned slightly.
What's the meaning?
Are you planning to admit defeat?
Still planning to fight again?
Want to grab the first place position?
However, if you want to be first, the risks you have to take are quite high!
Before that, it was because of the existence of a bet that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, we had to push through.
But now, this is no longer necessary!
"You tell him that we have obtained the qualification to enter the 'Star Flame Mine' and we have won the bet. There is no need to take any more risks."
Lingxuan said again, "The next two battles will definitely be fierce battles. Even if we win them both, we may have to pay a heavy price. There is no need for that."
The other person didn't even ask, he just answered directly, "Sect Master, he knew you would say that, so he said it and he knew it well. You don't need to worry about him."
"..."
Hearing this, Lingxuan was stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect that this Liu Hao actually knew exactly what he was thinking.
Moreover, the answer was given early.
Originally, I wanted to persuade him again, but now I don’t need to persuade him anymore.
…
Beyond the mountains.
A hidden place.
Meng Hu, the great elder of Gu Xuan Sect, is currently contacting Gu Xingyuan, the third elder of Huo Ling Sect.
"Elder Xingyuan, something happened."
After a moment, Meng Hu contacted Gu Xingyuan and said in a deep voice, "That Liu Hao entered the semi-finals."
"What?"
After Gu Xingyuan received the news, his expression suddenly changed, and he was shocked and said, "How is this possible?"
"As far as I know, Wei Tianqi's strength can be said to be unrivaled in the Yuanhuang realm."
"Even if he is a person in the realm of Yuansheng, he still has the power to fight."
"As the chief disciple of the Xingsha Sect, and having received some inherited power from Elder Bingxing, how could he be defeated by Liu Hao?"
Speaking of this, Gu Xingyuan was startled and asked, "Could it be said that Liu Hao has a treasure that defies the heavens in his hands?"
"No!"
Meng Hu replied, "He only has a stick in his hand, a stick that doesn't have much fluctuation in energy."
He added, "Going up, it looks like a spiritual treasure, but its level is definitely not high. It may not be as good as some super-grade elements."
"Since there is no heaven-defying treasure, how could Liu Hao win?" Gu Xingyuan said unwilling to believe it, "Could it be said that Liu Hao deliberately concealed his strength and that he has reached the realm of Yuan Sheng?"
Meng Hu replied, "No."
The reason why he answered this was because Meng Hu discovered that Liu Hao had never shown the power of the Yuan Sheng realm when displaying his realm level strength.
People like Chen Tianqiang, Yang Qinghu and Jiang Chenglong will more or less show signs of reaching the Yuansheng realm when fighting.
Liu Hao never behaved like this from beginning to end.
Although this does not mean that Liu Hao has definitely not reached the realm of Yuansheng, it is very likely that he has not reached it.
After all, if you really reach the realm of Yuansheng, you will definitely not be able to pass the review court.
The people in the Review Yuan are not fools.
In particular, that incident was quite a fuss at the time.
Therefore, he was almost certain that Liu Hao had not reached the realm of Yuan Sheng.
"There is no heaven-defying magic weapon, and there is no absolute realm suppression." Gu Xingyuan frowned and said, "Then the Xingsha Sect deliberately let the water go?"
"No!"
Meng Hu replied, "Even if the Xingsha Sect wants to let go, Wei Tianqi cannot let go. After all, Wei Tianqi not only lost this battle, he also lost his life!"
"What? That Liu Hao can actually kill Wei Tianqi?" Gu Xingyuan felt that there was something wrong with his ears, "Are you sure you're not kidding? Are you sure he didn't hide his strength?"
As far as Wei Tianqi's strength is concerned, even if he can't kill Liu Hao, even if he can't win, he can't die, right?
Unless it is said that Liu Hao has been hiding his strength.
"The strength must be hidden, but it should be impossible to say that he has reached the realm of Yuan Sheng."
Meng Hu replied, "After all, this Liu Hao has been to the Review Yuan before."
"If his strength, which was only at the Yuan King level a month ago, reaches the Yuan Sheng level one month later, who would dare to say that he is fine?"
"At that time, other forces can simply use Liu Hao to deliberately hide his cultivation and invalidate all the results of the Fire Spirit Sect."
"It can even make the Fire Spirit Sect pay the price."
"I think the people of the Fire Spirit Sect should not be so stupid, especially those Liu Hao and Ling Xuan, and they are even less likely to do such stupid things."
Hearing these words, Gu Xingyuan over there fell silent.
It wasn't until a moment later that he said, "Tell me carefully what happened."
Meng Hu nodded, and then explained the entire battle to Gu Xingyuan.
After listening to Meng Hu's description, Gu Xingyuan's face darkened, "This Liu Hao is not simple!"
"Well, it's really not easy."
Meng Hu nodded and said, "We have already entered the semi-finals, but we haven't shown our true strength yet. This is the scariest thing."
"Elder Meng, thank you for informing me. I accept this favor."
Gu Xingyuan immediately said, "I still have things to deal with here, so I won't talk to you now."
"good!"
Meng Hu nodded and disconnected.
…
After disconnecting from Meng Hu.
Gu Xingyuan immediately contacted Yang Hai and Yang Jiang.
At this time, Yang Hai and Yang Jiang were still trapped in the fire spirit formation.
When receiving the contact signal from Gu Xingyuan.
They got through directly.
"Third Elder, is there any good news?"
The two of them were already a little anxious waiting in the fire spirit formation. At this time, seeing Gu Xingyuan contacting them, they immediately asked.
"Well, I do have some good news for you."
Gu Xingyuan nodded and said in a deep voice, "It's just that this good news is a bit too good. I'm afraid you won't be able to digest it."
Hearing these words, Fourth Elder Yang Hai's face suddenly condensed.
The original smile disappeared instantly.
The seventh elder Yang Jiang said indifferently, "The third elder is joking. This is the first time I have heard that there is good news that we can't digest?"
"Liu Hao has entered the semi-finals."
Gu Xingyuan said, "Is this good news for our Huo Ling Sect?"
"..."
Hearing these words, the seventh elder Yang Jiang was instantly confused.
Yang Hai, on the other hand, seemed to have expected it, and remained silent without saying a word.
"How can this be?"
The next moment, the seventh elder Yang Jiang shook his head fiercely and said, "I don't believe it, third elder, you must be joking, right?"
"Would I joke with you about something like this?"
Gu Xingyuan sneered, "Would I joke with you at this time?"
"But how is this possible?"
Yang Jiang murmured, "That Liu Hao clearly only had the strength of the Yuanhuang realm a month ago. Now he is only at the Yuanhuang realm. How can he possibly enter the semi-finals?"
He added, "Could it be said that he bribed his opponents and all his opponents let go?"
"Release water?"
Gu Xingyuan sneered, "Do you think Liu Hao's connections are as wide as mine?"
"Even Lingxuan's connections are not as wide as mine, so what does Liu Hao mean to him?"
"I, Gu Xingyuan, have already told me that as long as anyone kills Liu Hao, I owe him a big favor and will help them refine elixirs three times."
"With such benefits, who would be stupid enough to help Liu Hao instead of me?"
Hearing this, Yang Jiang also fell silent.
He knew that what Third Elder Gu Xingyuan said was indeed the truth.
Judging from Gu Xingyuan's connections and the conditions he offered, no one should let him go.
"I can tell you that Liu Hao was able to enter the semi-finals entirely due to his strength."
Gu Xingyuan continued, "In all battles, there is only one survivor."
"From Tong Zhiming of the Longyang Sect to the people of the Ghost Spirit Sect, and then to Zuo Yuankun of the Longyang Sect, they were all killed with one move."
"In the top sixteen battle, Hermione voluntarily admitted defeat and was left alive."
"In the top eight battle, facing Wei Tianqi, the chief disciple of Xingsha Sect, he was trapped and attacked with the strongest means by Wei Tianqi, but he successfully counterattacked."
"Besides, I haven't been seriously injured yet."
"With such strength, who do you think he needs to bribe?"
After a pause, he continued, "Yang Hai, didn't you tell me that you have already checked that Liu Hao is not strong?"
"Didn't you say that he must have entered the quarterfinals?"
"Now, tell me, what's going on?"
Hearing this, Yang Hai, as the fourth elder, had a cold face and remained silent without speaking.
"Why don't you speak?" Gu Xingyuan said coldly, "Are you speechless or are you desperate?"
"Third Elder, it is meaningless to say this now."
Until here, Yang Hai said, "I know, my judgment was wrong."
"I also know that we may have been tricked by Liu Hao and Lingxuan."
"But, no matter what, the thing has happened, and there is no point in worrying about it anymore."
"What we have to do now is to think carefully about how to solve the problem at hand."
Hearing this, Gu Xingyuan snorted coldly.
Said, "The bet you made has now been lost. Do you think I should solve this problem?"
"Right now, only the second elder is guarding the sect. If you rush back now, you can rescue us."
Yang Hai said, "As long as we come out, even if the sect masters come back, they won't be able to withstand us."
"The worst case scenario is that we just keep a low profile and compromise."
"After waiting for this period of time, you can always find opportunities."
Hearing this, Gu Xingyuan frowned.
Asked, "Isn't the great elder in the sect?"
"No." Yang Hai said, "He and the fifth elder followed the sect leader to Yucheng."
Hearing the introduction, Gu Xingyuan nodded, "Okay, I'll be right back."
